Tom explained the way water flows across the land and the flood drainage modeling conveys that there will be no flooding in the area. We would only need to be concerned about rain water, not flooding. Jimmy Lewis stated that as we level the land, the water may not follow the same characteristics. We must take into consideration that the southwest corner may have some accumulated water when we design everything. Tom Bolling explained that we will have options as long as we allow water to flow naturally. Tom explained that we will need to rent a water pull that can hold 10,000 gal of water. Deb Strickland will ask resources for details regarding rental or donation. ---PAGE BREAK--- At this point, we are waiting for the well and the water pull is our secondary solution. One month’s work to level the land will cost $30-40k of labor and the equipment will be $25k to rent. Tom will confirm the amount of time it takes to fill the water pull before taking action. 13.
