LEWIS: There's the well site there and here i s your . . . (not clear).
This is the natural elevation drop off, and this will show you . (not clear).
It's quite rapid, the drop back there. And the well is situated about 72¢ feet from the
benchmark, and of course the waste treatment plant is down around 60 to 64, so we're the
difference between 64 and 721 . . . elevation drop.
And of course it's well outside the 100' radius of that well.
I do have some copies of this for the board to take a look at.
This is the well site, just abut where that black spot is. This is about where it
would be located. (Time is spent in looking at the plat site and discussing the location
of the well and seewage treatment plant with the board.)
LEWIS: What we are trying to accomplish is once again to (not clear) is the best
and safest method of waste water disposal. I believe Mr. Troutman was at that time, and
at that time we were going through the throes of planning what could be accepted, what
couldn't be accepted, and we planned with nitrification fields.
We, like Heronwood, feel this is a more superior system. Once again, please, there
is a distinction between industrial waste and domestic waste, and we are treating domestic
waste. That's all we're treating.
I'm going to go through a little bit of background here that I've gone through with
the state. It might help you also in the direction you (not clear) . . . your ordinance
that you are looking for.
First of all in order to have a place to put your effluent, you have tc get from the
state authorization from the, a reading from them on where the effluent is going to go
ultimately. In our case we have a little steam down there called Reed Creek. It's very
small (not clear) . see water running through it. About '100 gallons a minute is the
estimated average. However at the state level they treat that creek as being dry, an
absolute dry bed. So when they gave us our limitations on that stream from the state,
they told us that we had to design a plan that would clean the effluent un and make it
better than what was in the stream. So you have a better effluent going into the stream
than what's in the stream. I can go through (not clear) . . . and all the numbers that go
into that, but that's what's going to be running out and down and put into that little
stream --better quality material than what's in it.
The man used the word in the bonding situation called "efficacy" or a plant situation
that's going to be built and do what it says it's going to do. It's 2% of the cost, but
it's 2%. If it is a $50,000 or $60,000, it's $2,000, $3,000. That's no big deal, but the
state, in order to get license to construct this plant, has already gone through the
bonding efficacy condition because they don't allow you to even build one that isn't
designed to the specifications that they know is going to work. You have to get that
permit before you can even construct it, and that's after an engineer designs it. So I'm
just speaking now from what I've been going through getting permits processed through the
state level.
