Kerry Sullivan <br /> Page 2 <br /> November 3 , 1993 <br /> and not farmable . Since land disposal is a combination of <br /> evaporation and percolation, when the air is 100% humid and the <br /> ground is 100% (or more) saturated, where will this discharge go? <br /> Surely, the sewage from Crossroads won' t stop flowing into the <br /> ponds . HOW will it get out? . <br /> As to odor, I believe that Lathrop' s incentive to keep their <br /> sewer plant and ponds sweet-smelling is far greater if the plant <br /> is in the heart of Lathrop than if it is downwind and out of <br /> sight. <br /> Also, the potential exists for the degradation of the viewshed <br /> from highway 120 . Who fails to notice Lodi ' s sewer ponds when <br /> driving past them on I-5? <br /> Lastly, it would be unthinkable for the County to allow a <br /> developer to construct a store without a toilet because it took <br /> too much space from the sales floor. Likewise, Lathrop should <br /> not be allowed to place its toilet in the county because it takes <br /> up too much valuable commercial space within the city limits . <br /> The inequity of locating a sewer pond in the county while the <br /> city gets all the benefit is an issue that merits discussion. <br /> In summary, the potential for contamination of the shallow ground <br /> water, contamination of Oakwood Lake, jeopardization of Oakwood' s <br /> NPDES permit, Oakwood' s increased pumping costs and the real <br /> potential for overflow during high water years would create a <br /> tremendous liability for Lathrop, San Joaquin County and Kearney <br /> Ventures. <br /> This request should be rejected. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Michael Brown <br /> President <br />
