repaving that road doesn't go up that tar. is that road going
to^turn into what pfarner Road is now and what Boston Cross Road
Supervisor Kennedy: Andrew Forestal would you answer that
question please?
Andrew Forestal, Cold Spring Construction: There la six hund'-fed
teet (600') or existing Pfarner Head ort the contract that wouiu
be utilized by tnese trucxs. He cola Spring Construction wiii
fix that road to tne liking of the Tovm Board and the Town
Highway Superintendent.
Mark Hisher: I too, am concerned about the water. I have, just
over a gallon an hour recovery rate. I agree any Kind of
blasting that should happen. Nobody can guarantee that tne weil
is not going to go bad. Although 1 may not be directly artected
by this, 1 am not tnat far irom it. I am very concerned.
Another thing that concerns me, I Know the mining permit is good
for this project only. You can still take out a thousatid
11.000) ton of gravel without getting a mining permit. Now.
should this pond maybe not hold water or should plans change and
somebody does not want to build there now. Does that allow them
to go in there and continue to take out the tnousana (1,'JOO) ton
of fill every year?
Supervisor Kennedy: I would have to ask the Code Enforcement
Officer. I don't thinK you can take out over six hundred (600)
cubic yards.
Town Attorriey Perley: It depends on what is being taken out. \^
Whether it is gravel, stone, topsoil, etc. There are different
requirements from D.E.C. The D.E.C. doesn't have restriction
over mining or wnat is defined as mining. Trie Town has a law
that requires a permit to excavate snort of wnat t.he D.E.c.
threshold is for a mine. You have to come to the town to get a
permit tnen.
Hark Hisher: I don't vjant to deny anybody from putting a pond
lu. I thinx tney are great. Yes. it does bring in different
habitat and everytning. A lot has been said about this pond.
Tnat is not the issue here. Tne issue is taking of tnree
hundred thousand (300.000) cubic yards or earth. You have to
leave a hole there when you do that. 1 saw a map like this
about a year and a naif ago with the Rice Road project and
everything looks nice now but. Drive up there nov; while tne
stumps are still there and see what we once had, which is
forever gone. I can't help but believe that this could possibly
turn into tha same thing. Thank you.
Robert Buyer, 6426 Pfarner Road: Hy family has owned property
at 6426 Pfarner Road for thirty (30) years. He nave two (2)
homes on that property and they are all dependent upon a single
well that we hold by easement. Hhen I first heard o£ this plan \m
1 called my friend Dick Forestal of the Cold Springs
Construction Company and toid him ot my concern. Dick Forestal
and his family and tne Cold Spring Construction Company are
tirst operators. Tney are good engineers, they are good
business people, these people nave integrity. Dick and Andy
came out last week and we walked over the property. He spotted
tne well. He spotted the ravine. I told them of my concern.
Dick and Andy said to me "I aon't think that your well is going
to be troubled, l don't thin/, so." He mentioned the ravine arid
the deptn just as the engineer has said. And tney aon't tnir;.':
that It would nappen. That the weii would be rotnerecl. H^^i
sir, tnat is not eaougn. Ihat IS not strong eriough. Because 11
