An important specific implementation concern is that some means of reparation for any unforeseen negative consequences of groundwater pumping be established in advance of pumping activities. These statements and related discussions also indicate that there is a concern regarding the establishment of clearly defined areas of responsibility and authority regarding the lake, its resources and activities occurring on or near the Lake. This document is a brief presentation of the issues that concern OLGE stakeholders. Addressing these concerns is a central focus of the OLGE workshop process. The workshop process provides a forum in which to express, and have recorded, concerns regarding the project.
Workshops also provide an opportunity to have questions answered.
Many participants' questions were answered at the first two workshops, and the project team will continue to provide question and answer opportunities regarding all of the categories of concern. These concerns will continue to be addressed during the course of the project. The information contained in this document will be used by OLGE project team members to develop management standards and objectives as part of its groundwater evaluation. Workshop participants are encouraged to review this document, as well as those that follow, and to attend and participate in the project, to assure that this mission is fulfilled.
