Link (E-mail); Craig Benedict (E-mail) <br />Cc: Ed Holland; Imtiaz Ahmad; John Greene; Thomas (Tommy) Esqueda <br />(E-mail) <br />Subject: April 14 Joint Public Hearing <br />John, Craig, <br />Thank you for taking the necessary actions to defer the American <br />Stone/OWASA stone quarry item until the next joint meeting. A letter from <br />American Stone making this request is on the way. A follow-up letter will <br />also be sent by our Chairman, Dan VanderMeer. As we discussed, the decision <br />to request the delay was made last Thursday night. at a work session of the <br />OWASA $oard of Directors. <br />The OWASA Board of Directors remains strong in its belief that using the stone <br />quarry is a very desirable water storage and supply option. The request for <br />delay is based on OWASA's desire to have the most up-to-date information <br />possible regarding future population and water demand projections for our <br />service area and to more accurately forecast - "how the expanded stone quarry <br />reservoir fits into OWASA's long-range water supply plan?" As you know, our <br />Comprehensive Master Plan project is well underway and we are currently <br />reviewing and evaluating the necessary information which will allow us to <br />thoroughly answer this fundamental question. This work should be done well <br />before the next-joint public hearing this fall. <br />Craig, thanks again for touring the quarry operation and addressing our <br />Board last Thursday - it was very helpful. <br />Ed K. <br />
