:! ~~ would allow urbanization of the watershed and was therefore not compatible with the requirements of a WS I watershed. The developer of Amberly has recently announced his „_w, intention to xedesign the project to make it consistent with the recommendations of the OWASA study. The McLennan's Farm proposal has been resubmitted in essentially the same form as it was initially submitted. The only difference is in the organization of how the waste system will be managed.

McLennan's Farm should be rejected and the recommendations of the Camp, Dresser, McKee report should be adopted. BOB PECK, Chairman of the OWASA Board, read a statement to the Board. A copy of this statement is incorporated herein by reference and may be found in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's office.

MARTIN MANDEL reemphasized the rating of the watershed.. He stated that the Board has governmental jurisdiction over 80~ of this area, She asked the Commissioners to please make wise decisions.
