The purpose of the hearing was to establish and resolve, if possible, the remaining issues regarding the approval of the Thompson Properties, Horn Pit, Conversion Application. There were two issues Ms. Wright wanted to discuss at this conference. Her first concern was directed at the potential of encountering ground water in the northeast pit area. Secondly, she was concerned about ground water contamination from the proposed asphalt plant. Resolutions to both issues were decided upon at the hearing. Ms. Acre stated she would develop a contingency plan if groundwater is contacted in the northeast part of the pit. She will discuss the plan with Mr. Thompson and provide a courtesy copy to Ms. Wright. Assuming the plan is agreeable to these parties, it will be submitted to the DMG for inclusion in the permit application. With respect to concerns regarding potential ground water contamination resulting from the proposed asphalt plant, Ms. Acre said she would get a commitment from Mr. Thompson reiterating there would be no bulk storage of fuel. Bulk storage will be defined by the operator. Additionally, the operator will provide a plan for containment of wastes in the pond and for frequent clean up of the loading area. Ms. Acre thought these plans could be provided by Tuesday, February 19, 1996. If they satisfy Ms. Wright's concerns, Ms. Wright agreed to withdraw her objections.
