Greg Barnes, Barnes said he assumed that EG&R geologists have wandered 100 yards up Canary past the post sub-division to take a close look at the cross section of the soil types existing in this area. Barnes said there has been one slide after another and if you start building on steep slopes, this invites problems. Barnes said the PUD basically drains North to South, with the highest density of the population at the south end near the lake. Barnes said he doesn't understand why the City is going to all this trouble to change the code in the zone, so the City can suffer the consequences. Barnes said the water quality will suffer and taking more water from the lake will effect the residence who have wells, potentially to satisfy the needs of these new people. Barnes wanted to know who's going to maintain the grease and oil traps? Who pays for that? Who's going to maintain the sediment collection points, as they need to be dumped out. Barnes said right now there is chocolate brown water coming straight down the 12 inch culvert dumping right into Little Woahink and if anyone would take the time to walk out there you would see silt 4 feet deep.

Hughes, EGR and Associates, 2535B Hughes said they don’t necessarily communicate well when submitting the application and the process they go through to define what makes a good project. Hughes said they need to define what the critical perimeters of the project are and work around them. Hughes discusses the standards for protecting water quality. Hughes indicated that the clustering of this project provides a minimizing of the impact of the riparian area along the shore providing a means of stepping back septic systems further from the lake, providing longer travel time, absorption of phosphorous, and a number of other things. Hughes gave some examples of what DEQ would not require and Then discussed what they have proposed and put into their recommendations are the steps that maximize the protections of Water quality. Hughes discussed using the Advantex AX 20 systems, the advantages of this type of system and how it will be substantially more protective then the minimum standards that DEQ requires. Hughes said that's all he has and he's here to answer any questions. Slopes and the
permeability of the soil will the surface water just shoot down through
those drainfields? Storm Water Management Plan with the idea that they are putting surface water into drinking water. Hughes asked if the chair would like him to address those questions. Burke said yes. Hughes repeats chandlers questions and answers no, the water will not shoot toward a potential drinking water source through the highly permeably soil. Hughes discusses what they've have learned over the years and DEQ regulations, types of soil and use of different types of drainfields, disposal trenches, and how the process works, water treatment systems and how they work. Hughes asks if the chair would like him to address the question. Burke said yes. Hughes discussed septic system overview and how clean the water is after going through the systems. Systems and if the plans EGR promotes are safe for drinking water. Hughes defers to Mike Farthing. Farthing states the Storm Water Treatment Plan is state of the art and explains the process of oil breakdown and why we are now seeing surface treatment systems showing up in the Best Management Practices manuals that are
out there. Farthing said the
Stored Water treatment Plan that is proposed is similar to the Best
Management Practices based on Portland Design Manual.
Farthing said we do the best we can with Best Management practices.
