L p; c;, G 'J Z ', r r V-16a (Del-AWARE) p Operation of the intake will adversely affect water 31 fDY 30 P2:29 resources and the peace and tranquility and historic character
- ' fi;RETAR r of the Point Pleasant Historic District.
This impact was Notdh'c{RWCE' considered at the CP stage, and DRBC decisions were made before determination of the historic district to include the pump station site, and on erroneous information.
BASIS:
Noise effects, construction activities, constant-dredging maintenance due to debris and siltation because of location near Tohickon Creek.
DRBC was erroneously informed that the project intake would be 8000 feet from the Tohickon mouth.
Operation of the intake will draw down the pool and ruin it as a fish resource and major boating and recreation area.
The DRBC ER was made before the intake was moved.
V-16b (Del-AWARE)
Applicant expects a 10% water loss and toxics are present in substantial quantity, and there is therefore a substantial risk of groundwater contamination and hydraulic saturation.
BASIS: EPA studies on toxics; DRBC permit on water loss.
There has been no evaluation of the likely impacts of seepage of water-and toxics from Bradshaw Reservoir and transmission mains on groundwater level and quality.
V-16c (Del-AWARE)
The discharge of the water into the Perkiomen, and into the Schuylkill will cause toxic pollution and thus substantially and adversely affect fishing and drinking water supplies.
The discharge into the Perkiomen will also cause destabili-zation, flooding and otherwise adversely a,ffect the Perkiomen.
