The Board has asked Sylvia to research the depths of the wells at two abutting parcels; map 25 lot 7.12, and map 25 lot 7.2 . Mr. Walsh agreed to visit the office on
Friday March 24, 2006 to receive this information. The deadline on this order is extended to April 19, 2006. Mr. Walsh acknowledged that he would contact the Board at such time with information as to the status of his new well.
