Members ofthe Board:

My requestis that the Board consider the establishment ofa

Regulated Recharge

Area

in the area south ofDurand, 11., as shown on the attached maps.

Annexation and zoning policies ofthe Village ofDurand seem certain to cause damage

to the aquifer supplying water to several homes neighboring the village, including my

own.

The geology ofour dolomite aquifer, with it’s thin drift layer, is describedby the

Illinois~State Geological Survey ashaving a high potential for contamination. Yet the

Village plans to allow apotential secondary source

(

gas station) to be constructed at the

peak ofthe hill where our aquifer is located, with no regard for our concerns ofwell

contamination.

I feel that this aquifer should be protected for both the present and future use ofall the

residents. Ifyou agree, please respond as soon as possible, so that we can stop this in the

planning stages.

Thank you,

Stuart C. Nuss
