KAPFERER: Okay. And then one 8 question about the stormwater regulations. 9 MR. ANDERSON: Um-hum. 10 MS. KAPFERER: So do you have 11 something in writing from DEP that says that, you 12 know, you're grandfathered? 13 MR. ANDERSON: The environmental 14 attorney, I believe, has something, I don't have 15 anything on my record, but there has been some 16 e-mails back and forth that I've read myself that 17 say that, yes, we're going to go under this new 18 standard -- or the old standard is what still 19 applies, pardon me. 20 MS. KAPFERER: Okay. Is it 21 appropriate to request that? 22 MS. McGOVERN: Yes. 23 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Yes. Our attorney 24 will. 25 MS. KAPFERER: Okay, thank you. Page 15 1 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Mr. Hess, do you 2 have any questions? 3 MR. HESS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 4 One question. If blasting is determined to be 5 necessary, would the applicant agree that they would 6 have the contractor submit a blasting plan, 7 including their proposal for monitoring for 8 vibrations and dust to ensure that they're not going 9 to cause problems in the surrounding area? 10 MR. ANDERSON: Yes. 11 MR. HESS: Okay. 12 MR. ANDERSON: Yes, they would. 13 MR. HESS: And that could be submitted 14 to the township through -- I guess through the 15 engineering department. And the building 16 department. 17 MR. ANDERSON: Yes. 18 MR. HESS: Okay. Thank you. 19 MS. McGOVERN: That can be a 20 condition. 21 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Yes. 22 MS. McGOVERN: Okay, so the condition 23 is that -- sorry. The condition is that somebody 24 will submit -- what was it that you wanted, Mr. 25 Hess? Page 16 1 MR. HESS: A blasting plan. 2 MS. McGOVERN: Plan or application? 3 MR. HESS: A plan. 4 MS. McGOVERN: A plan? 5 MR. HESS: Yes. 6 MS. McGOVERN: Okay. 7 MAYOR McCARTNEY: Mr. Chairman, that 8 raises another question. 9 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Mayor McCartney. 10 MAYOR McCARTNEY: Thank you. 11 So Mr. Anderson, that raises another 12 question. With the slope, will there be a study 13 conducted by a qualified professional geotechnical 14 engineer? 15 MR. ANDERSON: There has

NEY: Thank you. 11 So Mr. Anderson, that raises another 12 question. With the slope, will there be a study 13 conducted by a qualified professional geotechnical 14 engineer? 15 MR. ANDERSON: There has been 16 geotechnical studies completed on site -- 17 MAYOR McCARTNEY: Okay. 18 MR. ANDERSON: -- and within -- all 19 through that Building D area with both borings and 20 test pits, so there is geotechnical information 21 already available. 22 MAYOR McCARTNEY: And do we have that 23 information? 24 MR. HESS: I don't believe so. I 25 think that was an item that we had requested in our Page 17 1 review letter, if I'm not mistaken. 2 MR. ANDERSON: The recent review 3 letter? 4 MR. HESS: I believe so. 5 MR. ANDERSON: Yeah, we have not 6 responded to it, but we have no objection to 7 submitting that. 8 MAYOR McCARTNEY: Thank you. Is that 9 a condition? 10 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Yes, we'll make that 11 a condition. 12 MAYOR McCARTNEY: Thank you. 13 COUNCILMAN RUTHERFORD: Mr. Chair? 14 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Council President 15 Rutherford. 16 COUNCILMAN RUTHERFORD: Thank you. 17 Just a quick question. Why was the FHA permit 18 pulled? 19 MR. ANDERSON: Why was it pulled? 20 Because we were running out of time. There was 21 comments that needed time to be designed. We had a 22 90-day clock on the application and you're allowed 23 one 30-day extension, which we had granted, and the 24 feedback was coming in slowly and didn't leave 25 enough time to make adequate revisions.
