7 January 1999 <br /> Page 7. <br /> pilot study to gather more information about the hydrogealogy in the area <br /> and this will be part of a larger final remedy. They have some time-line <br /> concerns that she will speak about after the presentation. <br /> Mr. Szymoniak advised Don Schell, environmental consultant, was also <br /> present tonight. Any questions regarding wetlands or habitat can be <br /> addressed to Don. <br /> Brian Handy, bog operator, was also present. <br /> Mr. Szymoniak gave a brief overview. The areas they will be working on <br /> was highlighted an the plan in brown. They are proposing a new access road, <br /> a treatment plant building and shallow well points along the edge of the <br /> road. The area to be disturbed is shown in green. Bog areas are outlined in <br /> pink. They propose to install a berm on the bog road itself. They will provide <br /> more details on the berms. Effluent leaving the bog would be clean wader. Of <br /> concern from a fishery standpoint, they do not want to lower the temperature <br /> because of native red brook trout spawning grounds. Steve Hurley, along <br /> with Bob Sherman have expressed concerns. <br /> M. Szymoniak stated the basic purpose of the berms is to separate the bogs <br /> from the areas that may be potentially contaminated to reduce the <br /> exposure. <br /> Mr. Sherman stated one of the reasons this will have to be continued is <br /> because the exact way the water will be returned to the main tributary has <br /> not been determined yet. <br /> Mr. Szymoniak stated they have worked out one option, when they submitted <br /> the Notice of Intent, they revised the pian to show it here. Brian uses this <br /> area here for irrigation so they may need to turn the berm down to tie it in so <br /> that the contaminated water will travel into the channel an this side <br /> (pointing) and therefore not affecting where Brian pulls his irrigation water <br /> from. That will be flushed. out by the time of the continued hearing. <br /> Mr. Wallenhaupt asked about flow rates? When it come to these berms, will <br /> they look at turbidity and flow velocity? Mr. Szymoniak stated that is part of <br /> that whole concept. In this pilot test, they will be looking at oxygen , <br /> temperature on a continuous basis at this location and probably have a staff <br /> gauge here so they know what flow they have. They have done stream <br /> measurements here, it is very low. By having a staff gauge, they will be able <br /> to know what they are actually putting back in. It is part of the monitoring <br />
