0 Km 9 't I <br />Pat Gualco (cont). <br />Alleged that there is a problem of flooding in the area. <br />Staff — The site is in the uppermost portion of the watershed <br />areas and will not experience flooding. As a high area rela— <br />tive to the adjacent terrain the site will be protected from <br />the effects of runoff storms having a predicted frequency of <br />once in 100 years. The Staff drainage study has determined 10 <br />drainage areas as they exist today on the subject property. <br />The design retains these areas to continue to discharge propor— <br />tionately to these same existing water courses and thereby will not <br />alter decrease or increase the existing drainage problems on <br />adjacent properties. Moisture penetration will be monitored <br />through electronic tensiometers equipment. <br />Pat Gualco (cont). <br />Subject property is located in the <br />Region 1 Waste Disposal Area; she <br />in Region 1; the landfill site does <br />same area. <br />southernmost portion of <br />suggested a better site be sought <br />not have to remain in this <br />Staff — If we go southerly, we get closer to Linden & a higher <br />water table; if we go east, we get into the watershed of Duck <br />Creek. And we would have additional costs in acquiring riht <br />of way .& roads. The proposed landfill site is considered Ne <br />best <br />possible choice from the various site alternates that have <br />been studied. <br />#12.
