January 1998 <br /> Page 2. <br /> spring flow that is coning up. It is not something controllable at the present. <br /> It would not be possible to put in a pump and treat system upgradient of i . <br /> Even if it was put in the spring, it would take two years to flush out what is <br /> within the ground water. There is no active system at the moment that can <br /> e put in. As to whether anything could be done to isolate that section of bog, <br /> that is something to take a look at. <br /> Mr. Hoch stated the major part of the bog itself is upweRing. Whore are some <br /> section that can be isolated and they feel they can get clean water. This can <br /> be pursued as they do not have A the information at this time. Another <br /> thing they can do, in a section to the west of the existing bog is an old <br /> abandoned bog that has become a wetland, that could be reclaimed. <br /> Mr. NU for stated there are various options, short-term, 2 to 5 years, over <br /> years; they would like to see it stay a► viable bog, cultivated and harvested. <br /> First, they need answers as to what can be done to control the flow, to clean <br /> things up, and they are in the process of doing than <br /> Mr. Sharpe asked if anyone knows how long the bog has been contaminated? <br /> This was unknown. Mr. Hoda stated they could model it and try to make an <br /> estimate. <br /> Mr. �&nior stated it is old grater there that could be 20-30 years old. <br /> Mr. Fitzsimmons asked if anything was being clone now? Mr. M nior stated <br /> they have a large investigation going on and are looping at various <br /> alternatives. The investigation itself, with the report, is supposed to be done <br /> in September. The report is to be done in July. As far as the options <br /> available, that will not be until January of next year. <br /> Mr. Hoda stated if they go with the extraction system to clean up the ground <br /> water, it would be a while before they would get clean water. It would be a <br /> fear years down the road. Also, to put in an extraction system, there is an <br /> issue of upwelling warm water with impacts on the brown trout. With an <br /> extraction system, Mr. Hoda stated it would be 4 - 5 years before clean water <br /> is obtamned. They can Lary to isolate the contaminated area and try to use the <br /> clean area for the bog area <br /> Mr. Fitzsimmons stated this was looped at during the last meeting and it <br /> struck him that the water that comes from Johns Pond is clean. That part of <br /> the bog is a minor part and he questioned whether it was economically large <br /> enough. Mr. Hoda stated it does not have to be in the same area. <br />
