III. OLD BUSINESS
IV. NEW BUSINESS
S. Prisloe distributed a map for Commissioners to review. It showed the boundary of the aquifer and parcels that fall within the aquifer. He explained that some parcels are residential which are exempt from the registration process. Staff identified non-residential parcels within the aquifer protection area that could be eligible to register and letters were sent to those property owners asking them to complete the registration form. Several properties still need to be followed up on. S. Prisloe distributed a color coded spread sheet that showed the status of properties in the registration process. The parcels highlighted in green are parcels that have completed the registration form or are exempt. The two in yellow, Cunningham and Clark, are incomplete at this point in time. S. Prisloe has been in touch with the
property owners. A request for registration was sent to the street address, but some parcels have more than one building at one street address, so there was a misunderstanding as to how many businesses were required to register. S. Prisloe said he expects that at the next meeting, the completed applications will all be in.
The APA will then need to vote to accept the applications and register the facilities. Once a facility is registered, they may apply for other regulated activities at that facility. Parcels not registered during this process, will be precluded from regulated activities in the future.
