Page 5 <br />petition is necessary to protect and maintain the quality of Fake Jane, <br />(5} How conducive to publ% health, convenience and welfare. <br />The proposed project will be conducive to the public health and welfare. <br />As stated above, a continued rise in the level of Lake Jane with no relief, <br />would result in the submergence of several of the residential septic systees <br />around the lake. Providing a controlled outlet for Lake Jane as requested <br />in the petition would eliminate this submergence, the attendant community <br />health hazard and expense for the individual homeowner to repair damaged <br />septic systems, <br />Controlling the level of the lake will improve the beauty and quality of <br />the shoreline by the elimination of drowned trees and erosion of the banks <br />caused by variations in the shoreline, <br />The proposed project: will be conducive to the public convenience. Lakes <br />Olson and DeMontreville, located at a higher level and in the vicinity of <br />Lake Jane are being fed water outside their normal watershed. While Lake <br />Olson has a tireir Installed in it now, there is nowhere for water flowing <br />cot of the weir to go without doing damage in the Deer ?pond axea, Once the <br />waterwal described in the project embodied in this petition were constructed., <br />a Mort waterway could. be led from Deer Fond to Crombie Pond, thus easily <br />and conveniently orea,ting an exit for. Lake Olson and Lake DeMontreville <br />overflow. <br />An alternative route for overflow water from Lakes Olson and DeMontreville <br />would be through bake Jane (since Lake Jane is at, a, lower level), However, <br />as stated in the VAL'LAY BRANCH TAKE STUDY mentioned above, Lake Jane is sub- <br />stantially less eutrophic than lakes Olson and DeMontreville. To protect <br />Fake Jane, if overflow from these two lakes were to flow into it, either the <br />effluent would have to be treateds or the quality of the two lakes upgraded <br />beforehand, Wither of these two courses of action contains high risk - both <br />for expense and ultimate success, The project embodied in this petition <br />eliminates the risk and the expense by bypassing Lake Jane, <br />
