LERC Rivers <strong>Conservation</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Public Meeting Comments<br />

May, 2003<br />

West – 22 May<br />

Comment Sheets:<br />

• Jim Cardman: Fairview Twp. has concerns that the Fairview Fish Hatchery stay operational by the state because<br />

this resource is a big part of Fairview Twp. Comprehensive <strong>Plan</strong>. The township has the same concerns about<br />

Walnut Creek Access Area. Concerns about providing public access to Lake <strong>Erie</strong> recreational area.<br />

Idea Auction:<br />

• Jim Cardman: Fairview Township should own Flowers property at the foot of Trout Run. Public access. Also,<br />

Fairview Township should obtain a CZM grant for the purchase.<br />

• Marilyn Strait: Prevent dirt from going into Temple Creek at the Oredock Road bridge that goes into the trout<br />

raceway on Gage Road in Conneaut Township.<br />

• Gary Williams: Enlarge Walnut Creek boat launch. Also, improve, dredge and enlarge Elk boat launch.<br />

General Meeting Comments:<br />

• They need to educate us (referring to farming question/fence. Thought that we are for rip-rapping).<br />

• Permitted discharges are better than toxic releases because they are checked/controlled.<br />

• How do you do an inventory of artifacts (Not doing anything new; just compiling what’s been done).<br />

• How does this effect us, as farmers<br />

• Several of us are farmers. How will it affect our usage of water<br />

• A few of us came because we heard it’s the DEP doing regulations for monitoring water usage. Did anyone else<br />

hear that<br />

• Mason: What it’s getting confused with is, in the eastern part of the state, there’s an issue – on the Susquehanna<br />

River, you have to register if you pump water out of registering and usage.<br />

• EPA & DEP – legislating for quantity and quality control of stormwater runoff; focusing. Municipalities are<br />

looking at that, not usage. Monitoring contaminants.<br />

• Is there any word on metering wells that go into storm sewers; released from commercial<br />

• Anything about pond water (basically, everything is stormwater runoff quality) Irrigating Well water<br />

• Permits for stormwater. Quality. Sediment control. Not looking to put meters on private wells.<br />
