-r? <br /> QUESTIONS CHRIS BEST ASKED THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AT <br /> THEIR MEETING HELD ON APRIL 3, 1989 <br /> 1. For the Commissioners that have publicly endorsed the <br /> Seven Mile Creek site where do you think the two task <br /> forces and the Hazen & Sawyer reports that cost the <br /> county approximately $50,000 misjudged the data when they <br /> endorsed the McGowan Creek site. <br /> 2. Discuss the interpretations of the merits of the <br /> different sites first by clarifying the specifics of the <br /> two proposed sites being looked at. ie - instream flow, <br /> M6D, total storage capacity, net cost per gallon, site <br /> elevations - which tables apply? <br /> 3. Discuss the very different degrees of hydrologic risk <br /> involved with each site. From an engineering standpoint, <br /> the drought risks during the estimated safe yield for the <br /> two sites is quite different. (20 year safe yield) <br /> 4. There is a water quality issue paper by the USGS entitled <br /> "Effects of High Runoff on Instream Flow and Water <br /> Quality in the Seven Mile Creek Basin". Have the <br /> Commissioners seen this and discussed it? <br /> 5. Discuss the cost difference in gallons produced. Some <br /> figures show as much as .50/gallon difference and more <br /> than one million dollars between the two sites. <br /> 6. Discuss the preservation issue involving historic <br /> structures on both sites and the sugar maple bottom on <br /> the Seven Mile Creek site. <br />
