If we go back and pick up this 15 acres and do the same thing with it - again take it to a surging lagoon where the cattails and marsh grass will do some work to the phosphates, etc. Intercept this pipe, take it to this big marsh - that adds again another $20,000 or so. That's up to about $150,000. That would be taking care of 262 acres here, 55 here, and 15 here and this marsh is already taking care of 180 acres there. At that point we could have the whole 500 acres Roseville puts into this lake in somewhat improved markedly improved perhaps, but quite an expense involved. We thought perhaps (inaudible) problem too. If we dealt with this area and said we could take 262 acres, intercept it here, take it across Lexington to the swamp, we can get 262 acres improved which ultimately improves Lake Josephine for about $88,000 but that doesn't plan to build anything down to this lagoon. That would probably end up with 90% of what Rose- ville contributes to nutrients. It would~ handling the 262 acres and this is taking care of (inaudible) but this does not take into account the 55 acres or the 15 acres. There is no way to do that by gravity because these things are too low with- out going to the expensive pumps and someplace we would have to get a surging basin and that wouldn't be (inaudible) convert Autumn Grove Park into a surging basin which was under water several times a year. That's where we are. To some degree, I look at this probably as two different projects - one up here that says we have some flooding and it will cost $200,000 to get rid of the flooding. We have another which I could call Lake Josephine, to cost about $88,000 to $350,000 to approach that problem, and obviously if you would put one hundred some thousand, $88,000 and $350,000 - any num- ber you wish - to this $200,000 project, you have made it a markedly different project in the way of cost. This project is just over the 20% level now in funding by assessments and none of these would be able to (inaudible) bonding with this added expense unless special assessments were considerably higher than they are today as we envision them. MAYOR LINEBARGER: I have one question. In this environ- mental impact study which relates itself to those first two areas, the flooding problem (inaudible) storm sewer. I understand 7
