Culvert at Maplehurst and Frisco, is dipping down toward Frisco and is not draining properly. Pahanish will take a look at it.

Bob Chapman, in Oct 04, when they were blasting on the other side of the road, he didn’t have water.  A consultant came down and he replaced his water pump.  ODNR came down and showed it was caved in.  he pulled it, but at 77 feet it was caved in.  His water is red and really not drinkable.  ODNR said Buckeye Mining should take care of the well.

Then they were notified by ODNR that it was reviewed and it was not Buckeye Mining’s responsible.  He had a great well, and now he doesn’t have a great well.

Arnie Adams went to the Village Council, stated that East Sparta Village Council turned down the 2 mil and will put on a 1 ½ mil.  They will make up the difference out of the General Fund.
