At the site inspection, staff and the City Engineer obsen ed vegetation and debris collecting within the tliree curb cuts at the outer edges of the parking area that would eventually drain directly into lake. Staffs real concern was for the invisible pollutants such as oils, nutrients and other chemicals from vehicles that are Hushed into the lake with an initial down pour. The issue of water quality was never raised during the first review but has become a major issue during the review for the repair of the seawall. The County representative. Denis Bailey, concurs with the City ’s position and has agreed to submit a letter that would affirm that the County will install a treatment facility prior to the boating season of 1994. As of the writing of this memo, the City has yet to receive the letter but Mr. Bailey has advised that it will be submitted in time for the Council meeting of June 14th. Mr. Bailey advised that he has reviewed the City Engineer’s comments but feels it more appropriate that the engineering staff of their Environmental Department be assigned the task of designing a treatment facility that will be subject to the review of the City of Orono.
