<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes 06-Q3-ll9 <br /> <br />a constriction holding the spring back as he knows of at least two other springs which flow freely all <br />year, one on Peltier Lake and one just a few houses down from Hidden Spring Park. <br /> <br />Dr. Barnes stated there are things we can do to help replenish the aquifers. Water cannot be injected <br />into the aquifer, but an increased recharge can happen by capturing water and sending it into the <br />aquifers through things like rain gardens. Met Council is looking into a variety of things, but it is a <br />very slow process. The lag time between rain and rising of lake levels for instance rain has to go <br />through 100 feet to get to the aqnifers. Dr. Barnes suggested the committee do more research on <br />trends in the area, investigate for instance the other actively flowing springs on Centerville and <br />Peltier Lakes. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen will talk to the neighbor on Centerville Lake and look <br />at the spring on Peltier Lake for comparison. The committee thanked Dr. Barnes for his valuable <br />input. <br /> <br />IV.
