Comment EI-16941

Received or sent (printed as 4/6/2009)

I want a full and fact-based Environmental Impact Study of the entire Harsimus Branch. I am extremely concerned about the water table changing when we lose such tremendous amounts of soil. We are in a major flood zone with old sewage and water piping systems and our neighborhood is prone to flooding. If water absorbtion is taken away from that area it could have a dramatic effect on all the neighborhood residences and their potential flood issues could increase significantly. Have you even thought about these realities?
