ATTENDING Chairman Jim Wendelgass, Vice Chairman Kate Damsgaard, Members Wheeler Aman, and Vince Kling.

Chairman Wendelgass called the meeting to order at 7:40 p.m.

The following correspondence was reviewed:

• Laura Hardt, a resident of Pine Dr. thanked John Bachich for the impromptu meeting that was held Wednesday, July 28, 1999 at the township building. The informal question and answer session was very helpful. The Laymen's Home Missionary Property is under agreement of sale to John Bachich, it is the hope of the local residents that as a developer and a land owner he will look at the natural resources offered.
• West Vincent Board of Supervisors contacted Anthony Haday of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in response to the PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit for Grubb, Pottstown Pike and Cedar Lane. PennDOT should examine the location of the existing driveway in terms of limited site distances and high speeds along this area of Rt100.
• Cahill Associates correspondence discussed the proposed revisions to Sustainable Watershed Model Criteria. GVA/Cahill will prepare new documentation describing the current approach, methodology, and references, modifications on which the application is based on. This document will be for the use of the municipalities, their solicitors, and the water agencies.
• Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has reviewed the February 10, 1999 letter for Storage Tank Program, Exxon Station 2-3865 (Rt. 100 and 401) and the department concurs with the conclusion that the contamination at the Exxon Site is not the source for contamination at the Loftus residence. It appears that it is from the property known as Cullen Country Cupboard 2. The department intends to conduct future sampling of this well to insure that the water supply remains potable.
• Chester County Planning Commission has been asked from PennDOT for input in the development of their Twelve Year Program for Highways and Bridges and in return the Chester County Planning Commission is asking the municipalities for recommendations on individual projects. The West Vincent Planning Commission would like the Board of Superiors to write a letter before the September 1^st deadline asking PennDot to include the By-Pass into the Twelve Year Program. They would like to set-up a meeting with someone from PennDOT to discuss their commitment on the new by-pass.
