of the water onto the eighteen acres could very well result in <br /> our water supply being affected. <br /> The number of nuisance pests will also increase greatly. <br /> Flies will be a major problem. If water is allowed to stand, the <br /> mosquito population, already a problem in the area, will surely <br /> intensify. It seems unwise in this time of budget tightening, <br /> which results in services being cut, to invite problems into an <br /> area. <br /> The waste pond would also be the only open water in this <br /> immediate area. All irrigation water is contained in pipelines; <br /> there are no open canals. This is an important asset to this <br /> area, making it especially desirable to families. The waste pond <br /> then would create a hazard in the area, and again affect the <br /> value of the properties. <br /> We have some serious concerns about engineering assumptions <br /> that have been made. According to Louis Pratt, the Joe <br /> Doornenbal Dairy will be employing a system that will reduce the <br /> amount of waste water by eliminating the washing of cows prior to <br /> milking. We have yet to talk to anyone who agrees that washing <br /> the cows can be bypassed. This makes us question whether the <br /> dairy facility can operate as planned. Mr. Pratt stated that <br /> this system had been used successfully, but not in this area. We <br /> would like to know the locations of these dairies employing this <br /> system. <br />
