Document Description
The proposed project will involve installing one new 10,000 water gallon tank on state property and a new pump house, next to the existing tank. The existing water pipes running from the well will be repaired or replaced. A small accessory cement pad may be poured for the tank and pump house. During the work required to install the water tanks and repair the associate water pipes, less than 1 acre of soil will be disrupted. Disrupted areas will be backfilled to original grade, which will prevent any change in drainage pattern.
