A member of the public, J. Lesparance spoke to the matter advising the committee that water in the area is very vulnerable as was discovered when the Harrington subdivision came out with a number of conditions. recommend that the draw down be completed at the dry time - Gary hastler lives across - a draw down and recovery test should be done in the dry time to make sure that the wells in the area are kept safe as a neighbour to this property, G. Hastler already has troubles with his well. The impact of conducting these tests in the spring is that it may not impact the closest existing well as it would in the dry season. The Chair of the committee advised that it is hard to impose the condition and stipulate that it must be completed in the dry time as the applicants have one year to fulfill conditions and by imposing a certain time criteria they may impede the ability to have the conditions cleared within one year. The Planner read the condition that will be imposed with respect to the well on the newly created lot: The well driller who prepares the well driller’s report referred to in condition # 8 shall also provide a copy of the drawn down and recovery of the closest well that was collected by the well driller at the time of the new well pump test in accordance with D-5-5 Private Wells: Water Supply Assessment, demonstrating that the well on the new proposed lot would not detrimentally impact on the closest existing well. IF the adjacent well owner(s) do not wish to have their well tested for interference, a letter signed by the adjacent homeowner is required that indicates that they do not wish to have their well tested. OR, A basic Hydrogeological Assessment signed by a Professional Engineer or Professional Geoscientist will be required for the new well in accordance with D-5-5 Private Wells: Water Supply Assessment.
