There will be no ongoing administrative obligation or permit fees by the Borough for the CEA. Discussion with NDJEP staff indicates that the Department also requires a well inventory to identify potential ground water users in the vicinity. A well inventory requires reviewing NJDEP and local health department records to identify potential ground water users. In the unlikely event that potable wells are identified within % mile, or large capacity supply wells are identified within 1 mile, a well canvass would also be required. A canvass would involve contacting individual property owners and \or tenants within 500 feet of the site, usually by Certified Mail. Should a potable well be identified, sampling would then be required. In order to conduct the required well inventory and canvass, we propose the following: Scope of Services Task 1- Well Inventory T &M will perform an electronic well search of NJDEP on -line records for all wells within Y2 mile of the property, and wells with water allocation permits (i.e. pumping over 100,00 gallons per day) within 1 mile. A database of wells will be developed and mapped, Task 2 - Well Canvass If potentially potable wells are identified, a well canvass will be performed. We will provide a questionnaire via Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to all properties within 500 feet of the affected area. This task does not include potable well sampling and NJDEP notification, f, ENERGY & UTILITIES • ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES • PUBLIC WORKS REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT • TRANSPORTATION - WATER RESOURCES Regional Offices in NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA and OHIO _E ASSOCIATES Le: Borough of Carteret Attn: Mfr.
