For the purpose of analyzing the rate of water percolation in the <br />aquifer and the amount of water to release in the Santiago Creek, the <br />Orange County Water District is requesting permission to install one <br />monitoring well at both Fisher Park and Santiago Park. The installation <br />would require access for a large drill rig into the park site. Construction <br />will take approximately 2 months and the drill operation will only occur <br />during day time hours. Upon installation completion, the only visible trace <br />in the park will be a manhole cover that will be installed flush with the <br />existing turf grade. Any damage to the park and/or landscape will be <br />repaired by the Water District. <br />250-1 <br />
