The JRPA board would like to give you an update on the progress of the "Grove Estates" development.

As stated in the planning board updates the D.E.I.S was not accepted by the planning board. The well situation seems to be of no concern as the water fluctuation and quality during the testing period was very good. The planning board however wants to know how the water levels are  affected with the seasonal changes.

The JRPA and the planning board also became aware of the possibility of Indian artifacts and burials at the "Grove" site. We have been very busy working on this information as well as the Indian bat, the wetlands etc.

We will post an update as soon as we get anything new to pass on to you.

In the mean time if you have any suggestions or would like to offer your assistance please email us @ JReservoirPAssoc@aol.com .

With all of this research and legal fees we are incurring expenses. Please encourage your neighbors to join the Jamesville Reservoir Preservation Association. If you know of anyone who would like to donate to our cause.

Please have them contact us.

Update received from David Broda (6/2/04) 

regarding the test wells at the "Grove"

The drilling rig arrived last night and began boring the wells that

will be used for the water yield tests. According to Thomas Byrnes who is the Hydrogeologist

with the firm EMS Environmental, they will drill three wells.

One of these will be a monitoring well and the other two will be the wells that they will pump.

They will also monitor several of the wells of the properties along Jamesville Terrace.

The test wells should be done by the end of this week and the testing

should begin next week. I think the test will be done over a 24 hr. period.

The monitoring will test the yield effect on the surrounding wells as well as the quality of water.

Samples will be taken to the county for testing.

 

I talked to Mr. keplinger yesterday and he is trying to get the testing

and the drainage/runoff information required for the D. E. I. S. in time for the next

planning board meeting which is on the 15th. They will present the D.E.I.S to

the planning board at this time and then we will have 20 days 

for response and comment. The meeting after that will be on July 20th

at which time they will ask for final approval of the preliminary subdivision plan.

 

I have agreed to have my well monitored. Tim Brayman also wants his well monitored.

We will come up with a couple more names, Mr. Byrnes suggested that

he would have no problem monitoring several wells perhaps five or six.

 

Hope you find this informative.

 

Regards,

David
