a. Manager Evans stated that during excavation of the storm water detention
located on the Oxford property, an exceptionally high ground water table was
experienced. The water table is principally supplied by a confined strata of
granular water bearing soils located on the easterly embankment of the pond
site. The constant flow of ground water, through the embankment, has caused
slope failure to occur. We have delayed remedial actions in an attempt to
have the ground water elevation reside over the past nine months. The amount
of seepage and resulting erosions has not diminished. We are,.'.!thefefor-e:;=recom-
mending construction of an underground drain tile system to intercept the
ground water.
