The Engineer should get back to him this week and it should be resolved in the next couple of days. I-271 Dual-dual Lanes - Mr. Hovancsek said the environmental assessment should be released April lst. Once it is released, it is a matter of public record. An off-ramp is scheduled north of Wilson Mills and south of Highland Road. An on-ramp is scheduled going northbound and an on-ramp going southbound connecting from I-271 to the dual- dual lanes. There will also be an opening in the median area at the Lake County line for emergency vehicles. There will be no change in the exisring on-off ramps. The new ramps are for traffic to shift from the road to the expressway and from the expressway to the dual- dual lanes. Great Lakes Water Oualitv Initiarive - Mr. Hovancsek said the EPA is planning on proposing a Great Lakes Water Quality Initiative. He said it is two-phase; 1) Getting the industries to clean up industrial pollurion. If they set rigid standards it will be unrealistic to clean up without many dollars being spent by industries. 2) Additionally, they may try to clean up areas such as storm sewers and streams. Mr. Hovancsek said much of the Great Lakes perimeter is in Canada which is a significant factor. Things have not been analyzed. Once it is put in place it will be cast in stone and will be difficult to modify. Mr. Hovancsek recommends urging the State Representatives to slow down so they can look at it slowly before it becomes law. He suggests Council talk to the EPA and also thinks the Sewer District should be contacted and that communities should write to their State Representatives about this issue. Mr. Ferrante said their agenda is set but someone could contact the President and suggest the subject be discussed at their meering this Saturday.
