48 <br /> 547 <br /> 548 Craig Benedict: There are two more criteria and we will tet the board decide if you want to finish these two tonight to close the <br /> 549 whole discussion or move to some UDO stuff. The two criteria would be adding these streams and adding those streams wouid <br /> 550 be another. This can be picked up next month. <br /> 551 <br /> 552 Larry Wright: Is the board's pleasure to continue this and table the UDO for another meeting. <br /> 553 <br />, 554 Michael Harvey: I need a decision on one item and a minute or two for the last one. <br /> 555 <br /> 556 Larry Wright: How can we manage this? <br /> 557 <br /> 558 Craig Benedict: Within ten minutes we can wander through these criteria. Then by 9:30 or 9:45 we can address that. <br /> 559 <br /> 560 Earl McKee: I think what we should cover what is on our agenda. <br /> 561 <br /> 562 Mark Marcoplos: I want to speak about one part of this we haven't talked about. I don't have to do that I will be happy to go <br /> 563 straight to the Board of Counry Commissioners with what I am going to say. I am going to give you a 30 second to one minute <br /> 564 preview. I am either going to do the five to eight minute thing here or I am going to do it for the Board of Counry Commissioners. <br /> I <br /> 565 <br /> r' ' ' hi n f rth rd r streams that flow directf into Class I reservoirs Lake Ben <br /> 566 Craig Benedict: Second to the last c iteria, is t rd a d ou o e y <br /> 567 Johnson, this is a third order stream, this might be a fourth order stream that flows into Corporation Lake. This one was <br /> 568 completely covered by the 1994 Watershed map, not the definition. Any contamination that occurs in the stream that is just a <br /> 569 mile problem,Ciass I reservoir,we thought that was important. Was it 2�/z miles Perdita? <br /> 570 <br /> 571 Perdita Holtz: I think it was 1 '/z miles. <br /> 572 <br /> 573 Craig Benedict: This criterion is third and fourth order streams flowing directly into a Class I reservoir. That only involves Rocky <br /> 574 Run,which was not included in the 1994 description. The one here was completely part of the 1994 line no change to the line in <br /> 575 that area. In this area we are including probably 700 acres more into the critical area than was in 1994. The density is roughly <br /> 576 two acres per unit. <br /> 577 <br /> 578 Ea�i McKee: When we are talking order streams,is this our definition,a county definition or state defined. <br /> 579 <br /> 580 Craig Benedict: This is a national definition. The definitions are in the packet. <br /> 581 <br /> 582 Mark Marcopios: We can't go wrong protecting the water. We could go wrong not protecting it. <br /> 583 <br /> 584 Mary Bobbitt-Cooke: I live in this area;I have to say I was surprised that Rocky Run was not protected. We are very glad to see <br /> 585 that new bubble added out here. It does make sense to have it there. <br /> 586 <br /> 587 Larry Wright: Other comments. <br /> 588 <br /> 589 Craig Benedict: You are voting on including these two streams in the critical area definition, Rocky Run, 1 �/z miles up,one half <br /> 590 mile on either side of that stream and including them in the critical area definition. <br /> 591 <br /> 592 Larry Wright: All in favor? <br /> 593 Vote: Unanimous <br /> 594 <br /> 595 Larry Wright: Carries. Next point. <br /> 596 <br /> 597 Craig Benedict: This is the last criteria. You see four different streams come into the picture here. The stream might be ID <br /> 598 2109; Crabtree Creek are two streams that used to flow into this Seven Mile Creek reservoir. Those were being protected <br /> 599 previously because of that future reservoir site. This stream parallels,comes from the Eno,Dry Run Creek that comes up here <br /> 600 and in a previous program you could see it was being protected also. I can say there is a difference I have been researching <br />, 601 more recently,the difference beiween these two streams and these two streams. This reservoir was quite confined,there wasn't <br /> 602 too many bubbles on the outside we think it should have been bubbled out a little even in 1994. In talking to residents of this <br /> 603 area,this stream, Panther Branch, is a very low flow stream. I can't compare it to what Crabtree and stream IN 1625 might be <br /> 604 over here but notice the difference with these two third order streams how it is in a shallower basin and this would have been the <br /> 605 Seven Mile Creek reservoir. If these up here were excluded from your determination,you could probably still put that reservoir <br /> 606 there if you wanted to because those two new bubbles would not affect where that goes but if you exclude these two third order <br /> 607 streams,you would be losing that protection of that Seven Mile Creek. <br />
