None scheduled. 9) Public Comment  Rosemary Paparo - Ms. Paparo worked in the real estate industry for over! 50 years where she has reviewed hundreds of engineering reports on buildings. When you hire an engineering firm, the firm should look at the envelope of the building, the outside of the building, the mechanicals, the plumbing and the electrical. Thei firm should report the condition of the structure and the useful life oft the building components. Ms. Paparo thinks these two factors are critical. She thinks the money is well spent for a thorough report considering the dollar Mark Sinclair- - Mr. Sinclair is an avid supporter of the Farmer's Market. He is confused as to why there is a plan for the Queen Street parking lot and the winter farmer's market structure is not part ofit. Mayor Fosque confirmed the winter farmer's market is part of the plan. Mr. Sinclair thinks the engineering firm that is hired to evaluate HOS: should have at timeline for when the evaluation is completed. He is concerned this is adding a lot of time toi the process. The dirt in front oft the pavilion has been graded and now the pavilion iss starting to look like the tremendous asset that is it going to bei for the Geoff Daking Mr. Daking suggested a speed bump for the Liberty Street extension. Mr. Daking does not think the proposal from the Becker Morgan Group willl be beneficial because FOS may not be able to provide accurate Patsy Felthousen Several structural evaluations have been commissioned and completed by FOS. In 2008, FOS hired the Becker Morgan Group to create a schematic design for the school. The school does have detailed drawings. The renderings are detailed and beautiful. In 2011, FOS rehired the Becker Morgan Group to do a structural engineering evaluation of the school. This study is meticulously detailed. Thel bottom line in 2011 was $4,500,000. In 2014, the Community Partners firm was hired to create an operational proposal for the school. This report was incredibly detailed, and they repeatedly referenced the 2011 Becker Morgan report. The bottom line in 2014 was $5,000,000. Most recently, Bancroft Construction was retained to complete an engineering survey- The bottom line was $5,500,000. All reports indicate at least $5,000,00001 in work needs tol be done. This number has not changed in 17 years. We have a beautiful opportunity here to finally recognize the cost oft the HOS for the taxpaying residents of Onancock. The cost has never changed.

This decision will take time and several Dr. Greg Felthousen- - Dr. Felthousen has the 2011 assessment performed by the Becker Morgan Group whichi is exceedingly detailed. Dr. Felthousen called the firm to get this copy. The report includes cost analysis, drawings of the present status and the proposed future status and at timeline stating which procedures needed to be done first. Dr. Felthousen asked the town council to strongly Priscilla Hart Ms. Hart read al letter from Dana Simson. - see attached Kasey Grier Ms. Grier stated that if she was not selected to sit ont the planning commission, she will seek other ways to be involved. Ms. Grier expressed concerns about the way the meetings are recorded. Often, Town Manager Spuck cannot be heard. She suggested al lapel lavalier as he speaks more than anybody during the meetings. She also supports the idea of ani informed decision about HOS, which comes with obtaining information from many sources. Shet thinks this project might be too large and complicated for a local Mary Clements- - Ms. Clements asked if moving the Winter Farmer's Market from the original spot, will parking spots be lost int the Queen Street lot. Mayor Fosque responded, "four or five parking spots will be lost." Ms. Clements reminded the town council oft the recent ordinance change for a 3-hour parking limit on the street in the downtown district. With this change and the potential of losing parking spaces int the Queen Street lot, it might make parking difficult Rick Turner - Mr. Turner thanked everyone who participated in beautifying Custis Park. If thei town council is planning at full-scale analysis of the school and its surroundings, the parking lot should bei included. His feeling is that this is an incredible opportunity to have something perfected that other towns would Joe Hill Mr. Hill thinks Onancock's biggest asset is that iti is a walkable community.

She would like to have this as part of considerations moving forward. d. Councilmember Oswald thanked Rosemary Paparo for her public comment. Councilmember Oswald likes the idea oft the assessment for HOS being done "blindly." Thei firms should determine what upgrades need to be done without prompting from earlier discussions or other proposals. This will give the best overall picture to help make an informed decision. e. Councilmember Weitzel thanked the audience for attending the meeting. Mayor Fosque addressed. al letter read by Priscilla Hart on behalf of Dana Simson. Inthis letter, the phrase "shady" was used in reference to the recent Planning Commission appointment.

EPAa and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) have Standards established for "Primary Drinking Water Maximum Contaminant Level" (PMCL) and "Secondary Drinking Water Maximum Contaminant PMCLS are established for constituents in water that may' have adverse health effects. SMCLS are guidelines for constituents that may have objectionable characteristics (objectional taste, odor, color, scaling/corrosion). SMCLS are not established based on adverse health effects.  Neither EPA or VDH have established PMCLS or SMCLS for Sodium.  The 20 mg/L sodium value referenced on the Virginia Tech report is taken from the EPA document "Drinking Water Advisory: CmusAtanirana and Health Effects Analysis on Sodium" (EPA 822-R-03-006, Feb 2003). Ac copy of the report is attached. The specific discussion on the 20 mg/L level "At the present time the EPA guidance level for sodium in drinking water is 20 mg/L. This value was developed for those individuals restricted to a totals sodium intake of 500 mg/day and Itis important to note that the 20 mg/L level applies to individual on very low sodium diets (less than 500 mg/day). Because this is a very restricted population, EPA and VDH have not established this level to  in the report is:  shouldnot be extrapolated to the entire population."  apply to all groundwater users. Sodium Levels on the Eastern Shore  The Virginia Tech Household Water Program has been operating for many years. Below are is a summary of the Sodium levels from domestic well sample results from this program. These results are from 431 samples (wells). The median sodium levels is 20 mg/L, which is equal to the EPAguideline for individuals on very low sodium (less than 500 mg/day) diets. Half of the water samples have lower sodium levels and half have higher sodium levels. The reported level of 19.9 mg/L is, for all practical purposes, representative of Sodium in domestic wells on the Eastern Shore (e.g.; As previously mentioned, there are no Primary or Secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels established for Sodium, and the 20 mg/L level is a guideline EPAI has established fori individuals restricted to at total sodium intake of 500 mg/day and the 20 mg/L level should not be extrapolated to the entire population.  approximately equal to the Median).  46    Sodium Levels (mg/L) in Domestic Wells  Count Minimum 25th Percentile Median 75th Percentile Maximum Salt Water Intrusion  431 5 10 20 65 356  Virginia Tech Household Water Sampling Program  Because oft the configuration of the fresh water lens in the confined Yorktown-Eastover aquifer system, there is the potential for some saltwater intrusion to occur whenever any water is pumped from a well screened in this aquifer system. In most cases, this saltwater intrusion occurs in areas where groundwater is not used (offshore under the Bay or Ocean). In some cases, saltwater intrusion has been documented on-shore. Examples include the area in the vicinity of the Town of Cape Charles, Town of Chincoteague, and Captains Cove. Wells most susceptible to saltwater intrusion are well located deeper within the Yorktown-Eastover aquifer system and wells that are close to the Bay or Seaside. Wells that are shallower (Upper Yorktown-Eastover aquifer or the Suficial/Columbial aquifer) or located near the center of the Shore (near Route 13) are least susceptible to salt water intrusion. Specific to the Town of Onancock, the Town's wells are located further from the Bay or Seaside than areas where saltwater intrusion have been observed (Cape Charles, Chincoteague, and Captains Cove) and based on the DEQ Technical analysis, significant saltwater intrusion is not expected to occur from  the withdrawal.

Most things looked fine other than salt being one Several others in town participated and were returned identical results. Photo: salt residue on  point away from the accepted limit.

We have carried our drinking water for years and hoped the water here would be ok. Astudy on the seriousness and progress toward a problem for the town's drinking water can help us understand the full implications of general and especially elevated use in selling our  water ini the future. Dana &. John  Thank you for your consideration.  As serious problem can result from the overuse of groundwater in coastal regions. Here, there is the potential for salt water to flood into the void where aquifers are drained excessively. Saltwater intrusion, also known as saltwater encroachment, is the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers. This can occur naturally in coastal areas due to the connection between groundwater and seawater. However, saltwater intrusion can  also be exacerbated by a number of factors, including:  Sea level rise: As sea levels rise, the saltwater front can move further inland.  Drought: Droughts can reduce the amount of fresh water available to flush salts out of the soil and groundwater.Storm surges: Storm surges can drive seawater over working lands.  Saltwater intrusion can have a number of consequences, including:  Groundwater quality degradation: Saltwater intrusion can contaminate drinking water  sources.  61    Agriculture: Saltwater intrusion can impact coastal agriculture.  Wetland ecosystems: Saltwater intrusion can degrade wetland ecosystems, killing less salt-tolerant species and converting them to grass marshes and open water. Greenhouse gas emissions: Saltwater intrusion can increase peat decomposition, which decreases the soil's ability to sequester carbon and increases greenhouse gas emissions. To mitigate saltwater intrusion, water utilities may need to increase treatment, relocate water intakes, or develop alternate sources of fresh water. Individuals can also install a reverse osmosis system in their homes to treat contaminated water.  danasimson.com studio: 410.603.0531  Imaginarium.25A Market Street. Onancock.
