�. 0033 <br /> Suggestions <br /> 1. Begin a well-sampling program for radon in the geographic/geologic areas <br /> where high radon was indicated in previous sampling. <br /> 2. As proposed, engage Chatham County in further research on radon levels <br /> in the geologic formation that straddles the two counties. <br /> 3. For all new wells, consider requiring a basic well-testing program (with <br /> airborne radon-testing optional but recommended/targeted to the <br /> susceptibility area in south/centrai Orange) <br /> 4. Check with EPA for more definitive information on aerated water-borne <br /> radon levels. <br /> 5. Identify sentinel new wells to be randomly sampled over time to allow <br /> for comparative work in well yield and water quality. <br /> 6. Continue to fund regional programs (USGS/Triangle J) that fund surface <br /> water gauging stations <br /> 7. Prioritize the Water Resources Committee recommendations (as per the <br /> last bullet above) <br /> The group recommended that, following Commissioners review and comment, <br /> the reports be referred to the Commission for the Environment Water <br /> Resources Committee (and those members of the 1992-2001 Committee who <br /> wish to continue to be involved) for more work and analysis. <br />
