22 January 1998 <br /> Page 21. <br /> little effect on the wetland. Mr. Wirsen asked if it is at the fuR pump rater <br /> Mr. Sherman stated the pump rate is a factor, plus the fact that they only use <br /> two piezometers and one surface water measurement. It is a five day test at <br /> one period of time. If they are going to make the allegation that there is not a <br /> direct connection between ground water and this wetland, thea they have to <br /> examine the subsurface mature of this wetland all through the wetland. He <br /> referred to Test Well 300E which lis beyond the w land starts at 8.81 and <br /> goes up to 19, there is 2' drawdown in that well and yet they are saying there <br /> is none in the wetland. <br /> He seat these to Gabrielle Belkin, the hydrologist at the CCC. Her letter <br /> states she agrees with everything he asked for. she stated it appears the <br /> impact to the adjacent wetland was evaluated based on one pair of <br /> piezometers and one surface water reading. The conclusion there is no impact <br /> on the wetland assumes that the subsurface geology is uniform over the entire <br /> wetland. Additional information about the wetland groundwater interaction <br /> is needed. The uniform isolation of the wetland should be demonstrated. <br /> Transects through the wetland should be completed detailing subsurface <br /> geology including peat depth. <br /> He distributed copies of his letter to the District which occasioned the letter <br /> from Ms Greeli. h. He reviewed what was requested. This list was sent to <br /> Mario I iGregorio. <br /> Mr. Sherman suggested if they want to meet with him some ofthe <br /> Commissioners, meet on a non-grandstanding randstanding basis without the press and <br /> hoopla, that would be acceptable. <br /> Mr. Shaw felt the Comrrnission should refuse until they conform to the basic <br /> regulations. He suggested citing chapter and verse on the CommissioWs <br /> relationship with therm to date and insist they conform. list the masons why <br /> it would not serve any useful purpose, in a diplomatic way. <br /> Mr. Sherman asked if the Commission felt he, or the Commission, should <br /> show up on Tuesday night? The consensus of the Commission was not in <br /> favor. <br /> Mr. Sherman asked, before making that decision, .is there anything on the lit <br /> he read that the Commission feels should not be demanded to be in the Notice <br /> ofIntent? <br />
