4 i <br /> referenced in my 1990 overview. I am hesitant to draw any <br /> conclusions from these maps pending further work, but it can <br /> certainly be said that the Daniel and Floyd/Peace studies, when <br /> converted to common denominators, have very strong positive <br /> correlation. The 1966 Bain work, however, has some significant <br /> differences with the other data. Further research may shed a light <br /> on this possible discrepancy among our resources . <br /> Finally, as you know, Meg and I spoke in late May with Charles <br /> Daniel, the author of the two works above - which have been <br /> commended to us by several knowledgeable sources in groundwater <br /> research. In talking to Mr. Daniel, we learned that he is an Orange <br /> County resident. On May 30 we met with Mr. Daniel to discuss his <br /> and other related work in groundwater research in our area. In <br /> summary, Daniel indicated that there is substantial data available <br /> for non-detailed generalizations about groundwater, but that <br /> further detailed work - in the form of a local groundwater study - <br /> might be needed to accomplish the goals set out by the Board of <br /> Commissioners . It is my understanding that you will also be <br /> scheduling a similar meeting with Dave Moreau to receive his <br /> thoughts on this project. Mr. Daniel has indicated his interest in <br /> possibly providing us technical assistance in our research through <br /> USGS . <br /> In summary, our work plan at this time is to continue to assess the <br /> new resources that have been discovered, and solicit the comment of <br /> area "experts" in groundwater issues to determine what questions <br /> can be answered from existing data, and what will need further <br /> study. Meg and I will be available to provide a status report to <br /> the Board on this subject when appropriate. <br /> Attachments <br /> copies : Marvin Collins, Planning Director <br /> Gene Bell, Comprehensive Planner III <br /> Meg Scully, Comprehensive Planning Intern <br />
