<br />John Metli: Second <br /> <br />Mike Shimmin: Abstaining from voting on this item because law firm <br />represents this county <br /> <br />Discussion: Tom Iseman: how are we dealing with the application <br />process? Rolling process? <br />Jerke: yes, like the prior appropriation system:. <br /> <br />Janet: per application process: it was helpful to have the entire application <br />on line just as Mr. Shimmin had advocated. <br /> <br />John Metli: eyes to future: potential expansion of this resource; if you get <br />these nine reservoirs: potential to expand? <br />Bert: perhaps. <br /> <br />Call of question: Acceptance of Application passed unanimously <br /> <br />Other for WSRA accounts: <br />Potential for future meetings: <br />Mark Williams - Boulder County Public Health <br />--manage water quality program; proposal that will look at emerging <br />contaminants in septic systems in high risk areas where we would look at <br />potential for contaminants; take a look at septic system effluents in dense <br />areas and unapproved areas; where people depend on this for drinking <br />water; significant component: consumptive use of septic systems and how <br />much of this would return to water shed; thus cost effective to look at both <br />hydrology, emerging contaminants and mass balance; thus, look at high <br />risk area in foothills compared to plains; tracer study associated with this; <br />draw-down wells; partners: USGS lab in Boulder, School of Mines <br />researchers, and consulting hydrology <br />Deliverables: studies that would be useful in other counties. <br /> <br />Harold: is this not a waste problem rather than water supply problem? <br />Janet: Jefferson County: 90 recharge through septic; never been proven; <br />McVicker: similar problem in Park County; perhaps worth broadening <br />scope <br />Janet: battle over amount of recharge; thus this is why it has something to <br />do with water quantity as well as water quality <br />Shimmin: I view this as water supply problem: Tens of thousands of lots; <br />everyone assumes that they can have an onsite well; this kind of study <br />could find out if this is tme or not. <br />Janet: Shadow Mtn alone has 3000 plotted lots; 139 lots could be put up <br />there at 1 ac minimum; because it is pre 1972, can have septic on 1 ac lot; <br />but it takes 3-4 lots for 1 ac, yet state engineer will issue a well <br />permit... thus, only limit is the 1 ac septic <br /> <br />14 <br />
