92 <br />,Pam Jones memo, 2 -15 -01 <br />Page 2 <br />accounts, overuse to this degree will have long -term impacts on the functionality and life of the system. <br />A breakdown of the existing use is attached as an Excel file. <br />With the presumed potential design flow of 6,000 gallons per day in a new system and with the current <br />use taken into account, the remaining available flow would be approximately 2,500 gallons per day. <br />Based on the community survey Sharron presented at the last. meeting at the NHSC, we prepared a <br />sample scenario of potential use for the remainder of the flow. This is not, by any means, the only <br />possible use of the additional flow, but maybe it will give you some idea of what the future of the <br />building could be. The breakdown is also attached in the above - mentioned file. <br />We were asked during the last meeting to evaluate the Vanhook property, the ball field area and the junk <br />car lot portion of the Kennedy tract. Only one small potential area of less than 500 gallons per day <br />capacity was noted for any of these sites during testing by our Soil Scientist earlier this month. The <br />remainder of the Vanhook tract contained unsuitable soils compounded by poor topography and <br />landscape position. A good part of the property was ruled out for soils investigation because of the <br />proximity to the reservoir. The ball field area and the junk, car area were deemed unsuitable for use <br />because of a combination of poor soil characteristics, site disturbance and soil compaction. A copy of <br />Tom's memo to Rich Shaw concerning the most recent evaluations is attached. <br />I hope this information helps as we move towards some resolution in this matter. <br />
