He noted his concern that he lives on 166lh Avenue but was not notified that the water main was going to be installed and the wetlands completely drained. He stated that he assumed there should have been notification, and would have appreciated seeing permits that allowed for drainage of the wetlands. He stated that a Class 3 wetland runs through his property that was dried up. He stated the pond across the road was a habitat for two or three species of turtles that are now completely gone. He stated that for the past seven or eight years he has had turtles coming out of the pond and adjacent wetland, but they are no longer laying eggs on his property. Chairperson McDilda asked Coordinator Anderson if the Environmental Policy Board (EPB) should take action regarding this citizen complaint. Zoning and Recycling Coordinator Anderson stated his concern should be addressed by the Public Works Department. He stated that he thought there was a notification process but was not sure when that was done. Board Member Max asked Board Member Sibilski ifhis property line was crossed.
