L .yiy.i' '-> REGULAR BOARD MEETING FEBRUARY i. i.'i'n ruMN .nALL / :3L' f .i'l. .'.narew Forestal: Betore the Bia 1 took a IOOK at the prop-1" across the street trom Edaie faryse/.. Just to see it l co'"a acquire gravei that would be suitanie tor the construction ot our yard which is now located on Hest Hiii Road. T.nat material wnl not meet tne specifications ot t.ie contract. I'm assured ot that. I nave not tested it independently. I have taken a looK at it and also looked at other material, and I Know wnat the requirements ot tne coritract are and that will not meet the specifications of the contract. A couple ot comments about the clearing operation. it was a late contract, it was a late award. As everybody knows snow tiies early up or. tne hill, Hs aia not nave the opportunity to carry on very many operations nere. He had to get the tress down so the utilities companies would be aole to relocate utilities. That is all we had time to do. He will be going on with construction in the spring and continue through tne construction year and on into 1994. Tne way that tne site la lett currently is just an absolute condition on weather. Ke were not abie to pursue it, once it got to be inclement weather. Lisa Rood, 8798 ZimiTierman Road: I wouid like to give trie arouna water expert ana opportunity to expiain how it coula not ariect weils on the hill. BOD Vandernorst: The upgrading wells. Lisa Rooa: Any ot trie wells on that end of the hill. \}si in reterence how water tables viorx. wnats unaer grcund there, .low ea a large noie ripped trom the earth coula not afreet scmecne'srjj well that IS a nait rinie or viiiie away. Teil me how you can go ^ down or up the 21» Expressway atter it has rainea and see water coming out or tne sides of the ciitts. Hhere viould that water have been, do you think if that 219 Expressway was not there. It would still be in tne earth. It would still be in our welis. I just want to echo the concerns ot everyone else up here on tne west hill t.hat neea water. That neea the water that is still in tneir wells. Tnat cannot afford in any way to loose one drop ot It. I would iiKe you to explain now it can't aftect water. Uphill or down mil. Bob Van Der Horst: Basically, the area that 1 surveyed is mostly in the lower vicinity ot the lower eno ot t.rie property. As i stated earner the property that is downhill on the other side ot tne ravine, it is my opinion that the water is not charged trom this area at all. This project will not have any attect. The ground water flow in that area would be more from that area up gradient towards the right area. Now wnat you are saying basically is, wnat type of attect will I have on the up gradient wells also. Your ground water from the up gradient wens IS mostly coming trom above. Then your wells will charge. Your water on the uphill wens is actually oeing cnargea from water tnat is up gradient ot this site. Your weiis win be p
