<br />Part VIII - Conclusions and Recommendations <br /> <br />In order to provide a reliable and safe drinking water to the residents of Goodman Point, <br />a water distribution system must be constmcted. Currently, residents fill water tanks at a <br />coin operated spigot and haul the water back to their residences to be transferred to larger <br />on-site storage tanks. This practice risks contamination of the water during the loading, <br />unloading, transport, and storage of the hauled water. <br /> <br />Based upon the evaluation of all the factors discussed in this Report, the recommended <br />alternative is Alternative 2 with both the water storage tank and booster pump station <br />located near the firehouse at the intersection of CR P and CR 17. This allows for the <br />most efficient constmction of the project and minimizes costs. <br /> <br />In a culturally rich area such as this, the proposed project design must take into account <br />the locations of significant sites. The proposed water line alignment minimizes any <br />disturbances to cultural resources by avoiding these resources. Three identified sites will <br />be monitored during constmction and the final staked route will be reviewed by <br />archeologists to ensure that there will be no impacts to culturally significant resources as <br />a result of the proposed proj ect. <br /> <br />Environmental impacts are also minimized with the proposed project and primarily <br />associated with constmction activities. When an environmental resource has the potential <br />to be impacted, stmctural, restrictive or regulatory measures will be implemented to <br />prevent or minimize those impacts. <br /> <br />A preliminary implementation schedule is presented below.
