Cty Public Health, gave some <br />background on how the Counties have been ordered by the MPCA to operate <br />gradient control wells under the NPDES Permit and to comply with said <br />order the Counties deem it necessary to discharge treated water from <br />Gradient Control. Well No. 1 into the drainage system of the VBWD and, in <br />order to do so, a drainage pipe needs to be constructed under Jamaca <br />Avenue into a manhole that is used by VBWD. There is a treatment system <br />in the manhole, and if chemicals are present, they will be volatilized and <br />discharged into the VBWD system. <br />The City received a letter from Tablyn Park resident, Rita Conlin, 8560 <br />Ironwood Trail N, opposing this plan because it would pose a health hazard <br />to their children, other park users and wildlife. Conlin stated the <br />flowage of water would run directly into a stream that runs through Tablyn <br />Park. Their children play in this stream, as well as fish in it and eat <br />the fish they catch. it adjoins a picnic area and tennis courts and <br />eventually flows into Eagle Point Lake which is in the Lake Elmo Regional <br />Park Reserve. <br />Mark Busta, 8810 27th St. N., voiced the following concerns of the Tablyn <br />Park residents: <br />a. Request that the County have the wells tested at the County's <br />expense for outside of the Well Advisory Area before the pipe <br />is turned on. (approx. 60 homes; 20 homes adjacent to stream bed). <br />
