Bradley ';.`_��V � <br /> 250 Hollander Road (Orono) . z ;,,=���N <br /> Wayzata, MN 55391 � `i�` �J <br /> vE <br /> Ron Moorse, City Administrator / Mike Gaffron, Sr. Planning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono, P. O. Box 66 <br /> Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br /> Dear Mr. Moorse / Mr. Gaffron: <br /> The purpose of this letter is to obtain information regarding the impact of the Spring Hill <br /> Golf Course development; specifically as regards water quantity/quality issues in the <br /> surrounding area. At a recent neighborhood gathering, concern was voiced about the <br /> amount of water such a golf development would use. This golf course and the County <br /> Road 6 environs are apparently in the area of the Hinkley Aquifer - - the water source <br /> which would be "mined" by the golf course to obtain the vast quantities of water needed <br /> by such an operation. <br /> I would appreciate that you provide a summary as to what water evaluation procedures <br /> were done, the date(s) of such studies, who conducted the evaluation(name and address <br /> of hydrologist or company), who /what entity funded these evaluations, and the results <br /> - - specifically as relates to area properties that are dependent on wells for water needs. <br /> Also - what is the City of Orono's plan should the golf course impact water quantity/ <br /> quality for area citizens? Will the City or Spring Hill (or both) be responsible for the <br /> costs associated with any impairment? <br /> One of the neighbors had previously made inquiry regarding the impact of this project on <br /> water issues, but received no response. I have thus enclosed a self-addressed, stamped <br /> envelope to facilitate receipt of this information. I am hoping that this could be provided <br /> within four (4) weeks. <br /> Thank you in advance for your response; I appreciate your time and courtesies. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> � �� <br /> L. Bradle ���� <br /> LaRae y <br /> Attorney at Law, Minnesota Attorney Registration # 131672 <br /> cc: file <br /> action date: 12-5-97 <br />
