The berms which will be constructed on the south and west portions of the lakeshore will contain as much as 20 feet of fill. Mr. Martin Lundy, Professional Engineer, representing the applicant, described the , system of baffles which is proposed to be installed for the purpose of purifying the runoff water from the PIK Terminal before it reaches the lake.
