In addition to all of the food items, we received more How you can still help than $1,200 in cash donations, which we used to purchase addi- tional food and special shipping boxes." Mrs. Michael thanked Weis Market in Dallas for its generosity in donating a large amount of food, and St. Theresa's Church for its contribution of a substantial amount of cash raised through special collections at Masses.

(¢: tinued from page 1) know how many tons of soil were removed Tuesday afternoon. “It's extensive, butit didn't travel that far,” said Fitch of the gasoline contamination. Fitch said that the soil type, which he described as a sandy loam and clay, may have inhibited the gasoline from spreading. “The one thing we have to be concerned about is the ground water,” said Fitch. The nearest well besides the well for the municipal building is 500 feet way, according to Fitch. He said that water samples will be taken atanearby pond and stream, and four test wells will be drilled to monitor the water quality. If the wateris shown tobe contaminated, Fitch said that the source may not be the tanks which were in front of the municipal building, but an underground oil tank which has been long abandoned on an adja- cent property. At their work session Monday, February 24, supervisors Andrew Kasko and Walter Glogowski couldn't provide much detailed information about the contamina- tion other than it had occurred. Kasko said supervisor Joseph Stager was overseeing the project, but was out of town for a few days. Golf course (continued from page 1) the water 350 typical homes would use. “We've got a major problem within halfa mile of here with wells being contaminated with gasoline,” Sutton said. Supervisor Douglas Ide, who was in the audience, said that at least 20 wells have been contaminated by gasoline which leaked from the Sunoco Station along Route 118at Lehman Center. “Picture yourself living in a house and your well is contami- nated with gasoline. There's a lot of people living between Lehman center and where you're going to put the well,” said Sutton, express- ing concern that a large draw on the water table would pull the contamination to other wells. Evans, the engineer for the proposed course, said that a 240 to 260 foot well has been drilled, and during an eight-hour test it delivered about 100 gallons of water per minute. Supervisor Raymond Iwanow- ski asked about how much water the course could get from other sources. “We're going lo supplement whatever water we need with ponds, springs, and streams on the property,” said Evans. To- gether, Evans estimated that the other sources could deliver 100 gallons a minute. Attorney Richard Caputo of Dallas, who is representing the club, said that they have a verbal agreement with Pennsylvania Gas and Water to use untreated water from the nearby Huntsville Reser- voir. The verbal agreement would allow Pennsylvania Gas and Water tointerrupt the water, said Caputo. Larry Georgetti, who lives on Market Street, asked how the township would know how much water the club was using. “We have no authority over the waler people use,” said Sutton, who noted that the township can only be sure that the wells meet the township's planning specifica- tions. “If they passed the test, they passed the ordinance. We're lucky we have a rather strict ordinance.” The Susquehanna River Basin Commission is the only agency which would regulate the club's water use, and could restrict the club to 20,000 gallons a day in times of emergency. Bernie Chipego, who lives on Market Street near the proposed entrance to the course, felt that Market Street couldn't handle the extra traffic the course would generate. Mary Bogart, a traffic consult- ant for the club, said the course would draw an extra 150 vehicles a day to the area. “In terms of traffic, it's not in- tense traffic,” said Bogart, who added that 15 homes would gener- ate as much traffic. The planning commission is the last local government body which will have to review the plans for the course. The Department of Envi- ronmental Resources, Luzerne County Soil Conservation District, Luzerne County Planning Com- mission, and the township engi- neer will all review the plan and give their recommendations to the township. The Lehman Township Zoning Hearing Board accepted the plan to build the private golf club in an area zoned residential at its meet- ing last November 25.
