Paui Superintendent of Parks, �orfnulated a plan for expanciing t�xe parks anc3 open spaces in the county which wo�ld take in the natura�, c€rai.nage af tne area. Much of the land f.n �his plan wauld remain unclevelopEd for low-organized activities and f�or�r nf surface waters. Acquisition of �hese �ands will cos� approximate- Iy $20,0OO,OaO. If these lancts (about I3,Ofl0 acres) are al�owed to be developed, it is estimated thati it would cost a x►iinimum of $50,OQ0,000, at 1970 pri.ces, to construct the necessary sewer system to carry th�s raater underground and.pxevent floading.
