In this case, the area identified by the ordinance is all property within 1,000 feet of the site. <br /> Johnson Oil's environmental engineer, American Environmental, has completed a water well <br /> survey with the Illinois State Water Survey, the Illinois State Geological Survey, and the IEPA <br /> which are the State agencies that issue or track permits for drilling wells. American <br /> Environmental has also conducted a field survey of the area and has determined that no potable <br /> water wells exist in the proposed ground water ordinance area. <br /> The major benefit of a ground water ordinance is that it will serve to keep contaminated water <br /> isolated underground and not allow it to be used for human consumption. The ground water use <br /> prohibition area is served by the City's public water supply so the prohibition should not create a <br /> hardship on area residents or businesses. <br /> Frequently asked questions are attached hereto as Appendix A for the information of the City <br /> Council. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this ordinance. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: American Environmental <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Director of Engineering & Infrastructure and Matt <br /> Newell, City Engineer <br /> Richard Marley will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the <br /> Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: Budget and stafftime is negligible for this action. <br /> This memorandum was prepared my Matthew C.
