some yard problems, but some street problems. All of C-2 is in fairly poor condition from a variety of reasons and some of you will say IItrucksll and you're partly right. Also part of some poor drainage. There's a sheet drainage system across all of the commercial and industrial land located at Fairview and C and there is con- siderable drainage coming to C from the south where it goes under an existing 24 inch pipe and through an open drainage system, through a small marshy area and into the southern portion of the lake. There's also sheet drainage that (inaudible) across, I believe from the Indianhead property next to the PIK terminal where it intermingles and works its way to the lake. As you're all probably aware, there has been some internal collection system at the FIR terminal property, some baffling at two or three locations to take care of that site (inaudible) that was designed for that site and that site alone which gives some, at least partial treatment, before entering the lake. The lake, in the pasto has flooded County Road C-2. It has also fluctuated to some degree up and do't'm due to the fact that there is a very poor outlet facility. Now, there's a 12 inch culvert that runs westerly from Langdon Lake outward to Wilson Pond where it heads northweeterly again. We had quality analysis done to the lake by some specialists in this regard. They found that the lake is in a eutrophication stage. We talked to the DNR as to what it was (:i:~audible) in the way of wild life. Some specialists, as part of the PII< work and (inaudible) essentially as well. IIThey" being the developer-so But afterwards we have had some more studies. The basic result of both the wild life studies and the water quality studies are that the lake is suffering in all three segments. Yeu can't see it, but there's a sanitary sewer burm that divides the lake there. All three segments have essentially the same water quality. I was a little surprised to find that, but that is the case. There is apparently enough mix between these areas th2l"L: the water is essentially the same in all three segmentsa They also found that it is not high in oil, which was feared. It does not have high oil contenta They found that it is not designed nor intended to be used as a fish sanctuary. However, most of you know it's highly desirable as a wild life area and refuge, at least unofficially. The finding was that the water quality is not what is the prevailing factor as to whether that wild life is or is not therea The prevailing thing is the marshy, weedy areas, the woods. You will find more wild life in this section than right along the homes. That's to be expected. The prevailing ground cover really 3
