The treatment facility will contain millions of gallons of raw and partially treated <br />sewage in concrete tanks located partially underground. The plant will also store, contain and <br />use potentially hazardous chemicals. The plant also consists of a great deal of underground <br />piping and conduit with connectors to buildings and tanks. These facilities were not designed <br />with neazby blasting and heavy equipment earthwork in mind. <br />We have also been made aware that the plant is constructed near a geologic fault that, if <br />disturbed, could cause great damage to the plant and downstream water users. <br />Finally, Highway 119 traffic, access and egress from and to the plant site for delivery <br />trucks and sludge hauling vehicles is already a concern. The addition of gravel hauling trucks <br />and equipment may create serious traffic hazards and delays. <br />In order to address these issues, please provide us with: <br />a. Any and all geologic studies concerning your proposed operation; the geologic <br />conditions in the area and potential effects on surrounding properties; <br />b. Any projected dperating information including size and type of equipment needed <br />and projected need for the use of explosives and earth moving equipment and <br />• <br />7400 E.
