Kitty Walker <br /> Page 3 <br /> proposed subdivision must therefore be restricted. Ground water <br /> extraction, for whatever uses, could affect gradient control and <br /> may draw contaminated ground water from the site and expose <br /> residents to contaminants. <br /> Available information indicates that Libbey-Owens-Ford Company <br /> has experienced three recent petroleum hydrocarbon spills which <br /> have resulted in contaminated ground water and soil at the <br /> facility. All three spills have been or are currently undergoing <br /> remediation using ground water extraction and soil aeration <br /> techniques. Based on available information, we have no reason to <br /> believe that existing petroleum contamination and/or remediation <br /> activities at the Libbey-Owens-Ford Company site pose a potential <br /> threat to the proposed subdivision. <br /> Three large ponds are located at the proposed subdivision site. <br /> Available information indicates that two of the ponds are used <br /> for drainage purposes and will remain in place. The third pond <br /> was used as a sewage pond and is scheduled for cleanup and <br /> removal by the applicant. Historical uses of these ponds and the <br /> subdivision site should be thoroughly evaluated to ensure that <br /> hazardous waste has not been disposed at this site. <br /> We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this <br /> situation.
