{ {1 <br /> I� <br /> II" <br /> Issue 2: Water Usage-Mr. McElhinney states Willowbend currently uses a water <br /> supply well, with a permit from the DEP,to pump at a maximum of 470K gallons <br /> a day. Additional 9 holes of golf would not require additional drawdown from <br /> that well. This would be accomplished in two ways: 1)beneficial reuse of <br /> treatment system that is cleaning up the plume from the Augat system, currently a i;'• ''r ,:: <br /> "pump and treat" system,treating it through a carbon system, currently running at <br /> a rate of 80 to 1OOK gallons a day. A new system is going on line,probably next 77;r <br /> spring, to capture the plume before it gets to Shoestring Bay, probably at 1 ooK <br /> gallons per day. This would be the primary source of irrigation water. Mr. <br /> McElhinney stated the biggest problem.with Willowbend original development is <br /> that the golf course simply was not designed for any large scale storage of water <br /> to irrigate, instead of pumping every day. The new 9 holes will have a storage <br /> 't•.ii <br /> area, pp Y g g which will be supported b the Au at recharge,to hold sufficient water to {�§ ' <br /> carry the golf course through 2 months of drought. <br /> yIJI G.y y'y. <br /> Planning Board Chairman John Kuch inski: The Au at recharge i s scheduled g g ed to <br /> go 15-20 years; what happens after that? <br /> i <br /> Response from Mr. McEl h inn ey: Willowbend would operate their DEP permit, <br /> which is only good for 10 years; Willowbend"will cross that bridge, when they <br /> get to it". Mr. McElhinney feels the cleanup will go on much longer than <br /> scheduled. <br /> !l <br /> Y;r <br /> Planning Board, Dennis Balzarini: Is the discharge going back into the system? <br /> Response from Mr. McElhinney: Yes, it will eventually. <br /> Comment from Chairman, John Kuchinski: We're having another 80K gallons a <br /> day of drawdown and using it for irrigation. <br /> Mr. . cElhinney: It's not a perfect solution,but it's a good use of contaminated <br /> water that would otherwise go into Shoestring Bay. <br /> .k <br /> r ; <br /> n <br /> Issue 3: en Space- r. McElhinne states that this plan will eliminate 10 <br /> p p .� p • s� <br /> acres of impervious area; at the same time, it increases 15 more acres of virgin <br /> open space than would exist if houses had been built. Willowbend has also had <br /> preliminary discussions with the tribal council about dedicating additional open <br /> y ' <br /> p ry g p , <br /> space for property owned on Meetinghouse Rd. <br /> 6 <br />
