RE: Denali View Subdivision/Response to Minch's Letters of 8/29/98
On September 3rd, Sharon Minch provide two letters dated August 29th to Staff concerning
nitrates in Scimitar. The letter was provided to Staff late on September 3 (the night of the
scheduled hearing). Staff had to hustle just to have copies ready for the Board. No copy
was provided to the Developer and the Board definitely didn't have time to properly study
the i?sues raised. Based on the misleading information and timing of this letter, it can only
be inferred that the letters are intended to confuse and delay the whole subdivision process.
Ms. Minch is working on the premise that on-site septic systems will eventually cause
pollution of our ground water. From that premise she uses a number tactics to create the
impression that this a fact.
On-site septic systems are not temporary systems to be used until public sewer is available.
With todays technology, on-site septic systems are considered to be permanent solutions
to waste removal. On-site systems provide up to 30% of the wastewater treatment in the
United States. They have made significant contributions to environmental protection.
There are many points to consider when comparing large verse small systems. The
assumption that large public systems are safer, or less damaging to the environment is not
true. Public sewer systems promote greater wastewater discharge per capita. This means
that larger bodies of water or land is needed to discharge the waste.
Public sewer systems are expensive to build and maintain requiring tax dollars. Can the
Municipality afford to provide sewer and water on large remote lots? Can the individual lot
owners really afford the true operating and maintenance costs or will these need to be
subsidized by the rest of the community? Small individual systems are built and maintained
by the property owner. And the property owner is currently responsible for all construction,
operating and maintenance costs.
Most experts believe that waste water should be treated at or near its source. This causes
individuals to economize and use less water. There is little information available on how
much ground water pollution occurs from public systems which concentrate waste into

pipes. In Anchorage, we have the sewer pipes that leak due to age, broken joints, corrosion,
freezing, and earthquake damage.
On-site systems are environmentally sound, Iow cost to local governments, and much safer
from catastrophic failures. For example, most on-site septic systems fail gradually. Not only
does the home owner have advance warning, but failure will general effect only the one
home owner (please note that in some cases several h'ome owners can be effected if the
failure is not caught soon enough). However, failure of a centralized systems effects
hundreds of people at once.
On site septic systems are technologically sound systems. Properly designed and installed,
they represent an environmentally safe, economically sound, healthy way to process
wastewater. Ms. Minch's continual attack on on-site systems is unfounded and
unsubstantiated (particularly with in the Municipality) and is an excellent example where a
few facts can be misleading.
Her entire letter is punctuated with examples of using partial information to reach a
predetermined conclusion. For example:
a)
There is no evidence to suggest that the presence of Iow levels of nitrates (below 10
ppm) is a health problem. Page 339 of your packet is an editorial on nitrates. It
states that only one death has been associated with nitrate (in the United States) in
the last 20 years. This was with water containing more than 100 mg/I. There is
definitely nothing to indicate that 3 mg/I is "considered elevated" or unhealthy. Mr.
Cross is correct when he stated that the EPA standard of 10 mg/I is an economic limit
above which mortgage companies will not provide loans, it is generally thought that
nitrate leveIs need to be in the range of 40 or more before health concerns need to be
addressed.
b)
I know of no experts that will unequivocally state that on-site septic systems
automatically equates to eventual pollution of ground water (in fact, just the opposite
has been shown for most areas of the United States). Where properly designed septic
systems have been installed, nitrate levels have actually decreased in some areas.
c)
There is no evidence that nitrates are increasing in Sci:'nitar. Mr. Munter's report on
this specific area is currently the most exhaustive report completed to date. There is
still more that can be done and the MOA has hired Mr. Munter to do a Study to
include the entire Eagle River area. Currently, there is no evidence to support Ms.
Minch's claims.
d)
Mr. Munter's report doesn't indicate that septic systems are the only source of
nitrates found on the hillside. He surely doesn't indicate that the only source for high
nitrates is from human waste.
e)
Mr. Munter's report does not state that seasonal fluctuations in the ground water
increases nitrate levels in ground water. Yet Ms. Minch's comments suggests that
there is a "readily agreed to premise." Therefore, less ground water flow automatically
results in increased nitrate levels (the old dilution verse pollution adage). There is
absolutely no research to back this up. In fact, just the opposite is more like to be the
case. The soils in Denali View are very well suited for on-site septic systems. There
is more than adequate separation between the ground water, bedrock and potential
absorption fields, There is no reason to suggest that properly designed systems that
meet the current codes, will result in elevated nitrates for Denali View or the
surrounding neighborhood.
f)
Highly permeable soils are not automatically a direct link of pollution from septic
systems. Actually, this is a misnomer. Soils which are too high in void space can be
a problem. This related primarily to very coarse soils such as gravels. High void ratios
in soils will prevent the proper formation of a healthy biomat. Without the biomat,
treatment is non existent or very limited. This does not relate automatically to
permeability. For instance, in the Municipal regulations, native soils with too high f
a permeability, require a "sand" layer to be installed. However, the permeability of
the "sand" is sometime as great as the native soils. However, the fine grained sand
allows for the format[on of the biomat and therefore results in better treatment.
g)
Ms. Minch states that lot size alone is not a good indicator of the likelihood of
elevated nitrates. This is true, but misleading. Lot size a practical indicator. It is
used throughout the Municipal Codes. Lots less than 40,000 square feet don't
generally have on-site septic. Larger lot size generally allows for more separation
distance between systems thereby relating to fewer systems per acre. Septic system
design doesn't just use lot size. Design includes computations on wastewater
loading, site specific soil conditions, topography, groundwater elevations and bedrock
formations. Lot size is a tremendous help to the regulatory agencies and it is well
documented in our subdivision standards. In Denali View, the smaller lots are
carefully separated by the larger lot impart to provide separation for the septic
systems.
h)
Nitrate reducing systems are being tested by the Municipality. There long term effect
will not be known for many years to come. Like most systems, by increasing the
efficiency in one area, we may be giving up treatment in another. There is currently
no data to support the position that these more expensive systems are warranted
except in specific locations. It appears that the new systems will soon be approved
for use in the Municipality. They like most system require the owner to have a better
understanding of the operation and treatment. They will require better maintenance
and proper operation in order to obtain the reduction. Though the new systems show
promise, it is yet to be seen if they will be operated in such a way by the everyday
household and thereby actually reduce nitrate production.
j)
k)
k)
She states again that "it seems obvious that Scimitar has a problem with elevated
nitrates". Based on the anecdotal information that has been expound by Ms. Minch,
it would appear to be the case. However, when an exhaustive effort was made to
collect all the hard data, it showed that Scimitar does not have a problem with
elevated nitrates. In fact, just the opposite is true. Mr. Munter (the same person she
is quoting who did the nitrate study for the Hillside) has stated that there is no pattern
to indicate that nitrates are either increasing or decreasing. This is after an exhaustive
review of all the real test data. It didn't include just hearsay, partial or selective
review.
She states that "experience has shown that hydrofracturing of wells provides a better
route through the bedrock for nitrates to contaminate our wells. This just isn't true.
Hydrofracturing is the real solution to the Iow flow wells in Scimitar. The test data
shows that hydrofracturing increases water flow. Effects of hydrofracturing are
relatively close to the well (approximately 30 feet +\-). Hydrofracturingdoesn't cause
pollution of the wells by any stretch of the imagination. If you have nitrates within
30 feet of you well, then you have a problem with or without hydrofracturing. If
hydrofracturing was instituted as a standard process for developing Iow flow wells,
the problem in Scimitar would be virtually non existence.
She states that it seem reasonable to assume that continued development at the
current density levels will cause nitrate levels to exceed the Federal standards. There
is just no basis for this statement and secondly, Denali View is not being developed
at the same density levels as Scimitar. Scimitar averages about 1 + acres per lot.
Denali View averages about 3.3 Acres per lot. Properly designed system do not
automatically result in high nitrates.
Once our wells are contaminated, it is nearly impossible to clean them up. This is not
a totally true statement. Particularly when discussing nitrates. Nitrates are Iow in
solubility. That is why the nitrate ions travel long distances when they get into the
ground water. By the same token, they clean up rapidly once the source of the nitrate
contamination is identified and corrected.
Anchorage needs to implement well head protection and ground water protection
before other subdivision become as problematic as Scimitar. She also alludes to the
threat that EPA is close to taking over our groundwater regulation process. This is
absolutely absurd. EPA has yet to make even the slightest indication that they are
going to do any such thing. If you listen to Ms. Minch, without looking at the real
data, you will dca great injustice to Scimitar and the residence that live there. If the
community wishes to institute a program to address long term nitrate trends, then do
it through the public process. However, there is absolutely no data the justify to this
Board, the Municipality or the State to put a moratorium on further development or
the construction of new homes.
Ms. Minch notes two examples where hydrofracturing of the wells caused problems.
One was a well dealing with Mr. Hank Warren property and the other with the
Hoolihan's property. Neither of these two well has ever been hydrofractured. We
tall<ed with Mr. Warren and researched the Hoolihan'swell. Mr. Warren's welI was
never hydrofractured and the only record on the Hoolihan's well is a cleaning process
that increased the production from 10 gph to 18 gph. We asked Ms. Minch to
provide the data to back up her statement. She stated that she didnot have the
information readily available and has never produced it. This another example of Ms.
Minch making statements that are not true.
There is no nitrate problem, no indication of a pending health hazard, no increasing nitrate
levels. It just doesn't exist. The individuals making these statements need to be held
accountable. Ask them to present the written evidence and data to back up their
statements.
Properly designed, constructed and maintained septic systems are a safe, economical
method of treating wastewater.
Please read Mr. Munter's reports carefully. They have been prepared using sound
engineering practices. They are objective and accurate. Where data is complete, he has
drawn firm conclusions. Where the data is limited he has stated the limitations. The bottom
line is that the neighbors will be effected by this development. There will be more homes,
there will be more traffic, they will not have the use of private land for sledding, hiking, etc.
However, these effects will be well within the reasonable standards for developing property.
The developer has responded in a professional, responsible manner to every request that has
been made by the Municipality. The developer will continue to make every reasonable effort
to provide this Board with enough valid, objective information so that you can make a
reasonable assessment as to merits of this subdivision meeting the standards of the
Municipality.

RE:
Denali View
Additional Comments to Sharon Minch's Letters of 9/29/97
Ms. Minch stated that people were not informed and therefore not prepared to discuss the
hydrology and nitrate reports at the Community Council meeting in June. The people who
were interested and who had concerns about Denali View Subdivision were at the Platting
Board Meeting in June when we were requested to present the reports to the Community
Council. The Hydrology and Nitrates reports were presented to the Community Council in
June as requested by this Board. Mr. Jim Cross was also present at this meeting. The
meeting was well attended and I spent two hours discussing the reports and answering
questions. SharonMinch, Chairman of the Community Council, made copies of the reports
available to the public by the following Tuesday and we agreed to make another presentation
to the Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting in July.
In July, Mr. Cross, Mr. Munter and myself spent the entire evening presenting the reports.
This meeting was also well attended. The Community Council passed two resolutions.
Ms. Minch's comment that no one was notified or had a chance to review the reports is
inaccurate. The Community meetings in June and July were well attended, the subject
matter discussed at length and two resolutions were passed (one in support of the
subdivision with no through road access and one requesting additional water information be
provided).
ACCESS:
Ms. Minch makes claims about the roads which are not accurate. The existing Chugach Park
and Sullins Drive roads are in excellent condition. They are safe and have a much flatter
grade than the route she proposes through Scimitar. The roads have recently been upgraded
and received recycled asphalt pavement as can be seen in the attached pictures.
In fact, she neglected to forward to the Platting Board a resolution passed by the Community
Council in support of the Subdivision. The community do not want a road through Scimitar
Subdivision.

WATER:
Ms. Minch in her letter stated that not all adjoining property owner were contacted when we
ran our first pumping tests. Therefore, people who would have participated did not have an
opportunity. The single property owner who complained about not being notified is not
adjacent to the proposed development. He is across the road and behind another lot. Since
the goal of the test was designed to determine effects on adjacent lot owners, this
homeowner was not contacted.
SHARON MINCH:
Sharon Minch lives within 800 feet from this proposed development. She has taken an
active adverse stand against this subdivision. In my opinion, she has inappropriately used
her position as Chairman of the Community Council to call meetings and write letters of
opposition to this project with out the approval or direction of the Council. She has made
negative, personal comments about the Developers costing everyone time, money and
unnecessary effort with a campaign of anecdotal and misinformation.
I encourage the Board to put aside all the anecdotal and misinformation that has been
submitted on this project. The Developer has provide this Board with professional reports
that clearly demonstrate that the impacts to adjacent properties will be minimal (if any). This
Subdivision in almost every aspect exceeds the minimum subdivision standards established
by Title 15 and Title 21. Approval of the preliminary plat is reasonable and defensible.

Mr. High 9/24/97
After reviewing your letter and forms dated 9/19/97. I submit the following comments and
recommendations.
The residents in the area want to participate in this study. However they absolutely believe that the
pump test should not significantly inconvenience their current ability to procure water for domestic use, and
they believe this test should be no additional financial burden. Keeping these parameters in mind
I submit the following recommendations.
1 .Send a letter of explanation stating your intentions i.e. how you plan to conduct the pump test. Specific
details would be helpful.
2 Ask the residents to help identi~ which wells have had recent wall w~rk. This way you can insure that
problems are kept to a minimum.
3~ Write an addendum to alleviate fears that people are not exposing themselves to considerable
risk by signing the hold harmless agreement
4. Explain what problems might be encountered dudng the testing and what will be done to correct
them ie. Instrument hanging up in pump wiring. Jim Sullivan to pull pump @ developers expense etc.
5 Use data logging equipment so no residents will not have to go without use of their wells for an
extended period of time.
I believe these changes will significantly increase the likelihood of cooperation by the community.
Sincerely Jeffrey D. Williams

DENALI VIEW SUBDIVISION
PUMP TEST QUESTIONNAIRE
W.O.: 96298
September 19, 1997
Denali View has drilled two wells that have fouIld excellerlt quentin;les of water,. One well
is only 112' deep, which is in a different aquifer that most other wells in Scimitar. When
this well was test pumped, two other wells were monitored end they showed COntinuous
recovery throughout the ~:est Period. They were not being drawn down by the Denati View
We have been re=quested by tho Municipality to run two more pump tests to verify the results
of our first purr~.'p tests provided we can obtain some realistic data. If we ca~not ob[ain
useable data, then the Municipality will have make a decision using our previous reports.
The Myers ere interested in providing the Municipality and the local residents wi~h as much
information as ~ossible, so that objective decisioas can be made corlcerning the project,
The cooperation of the surrounding property owners is required in order for the results of a
testing to he fully interpreted, We would appreciate your participation in tho testin9
program. The first step is to find out how marW people would be willing to participate in e
program. Therefore, we are asking you to fiji out the enclosed questionnaire. Once we have
the testing schedule, we will provide you with the detail of the program and se~ if you are
still willing to participate. We believe that arly concerns relative ~o particlp~ting in the
testing program can be resolved.
You should contact Paul and Arlene Myers (688-1236) or Mr. Dee High (344.1385) if you
have any questions, We w0uld appreciate your immediate response ~o thi8 questionnaire.
AWWU water is still available if people vote for it, Obtaining public water has noticing to do
with Denall View Subdivision. In fact, the Owner's of Denali View Subdivision ;have voted
in support of public water each time it has been on the ballot.
A lot of ~egative statements have been made about nitrates in Scimitar, Nitrates I~ed not
been studied in Scimitar until Mr. Munter accumulated this information for the Denall View
project. With the exception of two Jots with localized problems, nitrates are well within
acceptable standards through out the area. A certain amount of nitrates are naturally
occurring, These may be in the range of 1 to 3 mg/l. Mr. Kleweno of ADEC commented
that Eklutna Lake may have nitrates as high as 1.9 ag/I, Nitrate levels of !0 mg/I are
acceptable levels throughout the United States.

We would alt lika to have higher property values in our neighborhoods. Other subdivision.~,
w{th similar water concerns have seen an increase in their property values, Scimitar has not.
Property values are effected by the exaggeration and publicizing of misinformation; which
I~as happened for Scimitar. We should all strive to restrain from this type of behavior, These
tests should help everyone better understand the water issues and we look forward to your

As you know, I! recomrPe,nded to my Clie;nt that he delay his presentation !to..he platting

result of meetings he d !n your office on:the day of the schedule Boa~'d hearin~ g i~ which the
Communitie, s :hldrologiJst and the Community representatives agreed to ~me,~t with Mr.

Since she is a ~nemberlof the Departments Techn cai Rev ew Board and Pies dent of the

Your warning th~at if we cannot get Terrasat's concurrence on a plan, ~hen you ~ itl be forced
to put out an RFp to have another hydrologist develop a plan is unreasonable. Ti e developer
is being unduly }enalized for the inaction of a group that is opposed to the pr( ect.
To date, the only systematic evaluation, the only hard data that the Municip~lit~ has on this
project has beel l provid.ed by the Developer. That information has clearly de,or strated that
there is enough water ahd that any impacts to adjacent properties are within ~thE acceptable
standards. . ,
We are open tolmeetlng with Terrasat at any time. We are open to: drillinglan >ther well if
it helps solve sc~me of the logistic problems. We are open to doing more test~bg r)rovide that

is to continue t~o delayithis project on the pretense that we need ~he Terr.asat's blessing

I recommend th ~t we have another hydrologist to review the plan. Aihydrolo;gis I that would

a pump test pro ;edure And criteria by which the result would be evaluated. ~he Hydrologist

Dear Dr. Selkregg;
! am writing
Peter's Creek
general, and
with regard to the proposed Denali View Subdivision in the
area. I have concerns about the decision making process in
specific concerns about water and road/access issues.
Public Process
I became involved with this project as an interested citizen; I wish to
encourage aud support the M.O.A. and State agencies in making pro-active,
rather than re-active, decisions regarding responsible development in our
community.
I cat] appreciate that you and your staff frequently encouuter citizen
groups opposed to one action or another and that you must discount
"NIMBY" opinions as a matter of course. However, in this case I believe
there are fundamental principles of due process and responsibility
involved which need to be addressed. Specifically I wonder:
1. Whose interests does the Municipality most represent, community
interests o~ those of individuals (in this case developers desiring to make
profit)?
a
2. When these interests directly conflict, what role and position
will/should the Ivlunicpality take?
3. Where does the burden of proof (as to impacts and mitigating
measures) lie9 A corollary here is who bears the financial burden of
documenting such impacts- the developer, city and state agencies or
affected public/homeowners?
the
4. By ,.,,'hat process/procedure is submitted information determined to be
adequate, sufficient and/or true?
In a letter daled August 19,1997, Mr. Dee High clearly asserts that the
burden of proof in the case of Denali View Subdivision rests wilh thc
community/homeowners who have questioned the projected impacts and

conclusions provided by Mr Myers and his employees.
with Mr. High.
I strongly disagree
Residents of three subdivisions surrounding Denali View (Scimitar,
Chugach Park Estates and Petersgate Subdivision) have spent $7000+
trying to ensure that our concerns are addressed. After the Chugiak
Community Council Meeting on July 17, eommnnity members hired
Terrasat, Inc. to prepare an independent hydrology study because we
stongly believed the hydrology and nitrate studies prepared by Mr,
Munter for Mr. Myers were biased and inadequate,
We were essentially forced into this action because, despite numerous and
serious questions raised by the public at the Chugiak Community Council
Meeting, Mr, Cross asserted that unless information to the contrary was
brought forward he wonld accept the Bristol Environmental report and
recommend the project be approved.
It was gratifying that two reviewing state agencies: D,E,C. and D.N.R,
independently echoed many of the same concerns raised by the "non-
professional" public. (l can't help wondering why Mr. Cross didn't identify
these areas of concern himself,,.?)
To reilerate, the purpose of hiring a consulting hydrologist was to: a) gel a
clearer picture of the existing water situation than that provided by Mr.
Munter's report', b) to aeertain whether our fears of negative impacts e.'ere
warrented; and c) by seeking "professional expertise" to ensure that our
concerns were taken seriously by decision-making authorities. The results
of our expenditures is a hydrology report that challenges and/or
contradicts many of the conclusions put forward by thc developer. It
seems to me that we have made our point, that this project deserves more
careful seruliny before being approved.
It also raises ethical and legal questions about whether a community
should have to pay an independent consultant to represent their interests
when ,,ye have public (???) agencies presumably mandated to safequard
exactly these interests? Mr. (-;ross, in a telephone conversation on August
22, equated our expenditures with those of Mr. Myers, who "has also spent
a great deal of money on this process," I contend these expenditures are
very different: h,lr. Myers anticipates a profit at the end of this and at the
very least can ,.,.,rite it off as a business expense. We cannot, The question
of who is responsible and who pays is a very serious policy issue and
needs to be addressed directly and with care. I am very concerned about
the precedent this case sets for fnture sitnations.

Returning to Mr. High's letter, he wrote: "By working with the appropriate
Departments of the Municipality, the Myers (owners) have clearly
demonstrated, through "systematic evaluation", that Ihe problem is nol the
lack of water, water quality or the effect of one well on another." Yet...at a
me~t~ug on ~uly~ 2fl_in. Mr. Jim Cro~s_~Lmff~, ~parti~:_ incl~g ~,_. It~h

Mr. High's statement regarding Mr. Cross's request that homeowners
provide flow and nitrate tests of their wells is misleading (Paragraph 2,
line I and paragraph 2, lines 6-7), I was at both community council
meetings in question; Mr, Cross did request any flow and nitrate data
available, noting it wonld be very helpful in the assessment of this project.
A formal water flow and nitrate test, conducted by a 'professional'
hydrologist, costs around $400 per household, I am sure Mr. Cross would
be the first to admit he has no authority to insist or require such
expenditures.
Ironically many homeowners did consider 'conducting these tests and
obtaining this information. But because: 1) we were not confident thai our
interests would be justly represented within the Municipality; and 2) we
were not certain how the data would be used; and 3) many of us have
experienced responses ranging from cool to openly dismissive from staff
members involved in this projecl, we chose thc alternative of hiring a
hydrologist who was capable of interpreting the data and representing us
on the "professional" level. Again I assert that this should not have been
necessary if city employees had been conscientious about doing their jobs.
Other comments regarding Mr. High's letter:
Paragraph 2; line 2: I never heard Mr. Young (the homeowner's
hydrologist) direct anyone not to provide flow rate and nitrate information
flow rate and nitrate; quite the opposite, he solicited any and ail existing
available information,
With respect to Paragraph 3, line 1, I'm not clear what "position" Mr. High
refers to I nnderstand 'the homeowner's' position to be that the developer
should be required to provide adequate inforn'lation to assure residents
that there is sufficient water for the proposed subdivision and that current
residents' waler quality and quantity will not be adversely impacted by
the development of Denali View. This position is supported by applicable
codes and laws. Furthermore, it is our position that the developer to date
has a_ot provided this 'adequate information'- or "real data", to use h:lr.

High's own words. Mr. High himself concurred a day after writing this
letter that the "hard factual data" provided on behalf of his client was
"inadequate" to conclude that a long term supply of clean water exists for
the proposed subdivsion and surrounding neighhborhoods. Furthermore,
the homeowners' position is supported by an independent hydrology
report and by two state agencies, D,E.C. and D.N,R, Therefore Mr, High's
assertion that we should be required to conduct flow data and nitrate tests
to support our position is ludicrous, It also raises serious questions about
public process and burden of proof which should be clarified immediately.
I believe the controversy is well documented in other correspondance, My
question is: How will the Municipality deal with conflicting opinions from
two professional hydrologists? Will the Municipality require definitive
data to resolve the conflict, And who is responsible for paying for
obtaining this information.
Another controversial issue associated DenalJ View is road and trail access
up Bear Mountain, Some residents of Scimitar Subdivision have petitioned
to exclude righl-of~ways for a Seika-Kullberg road connection, but
residents in Chugach Park Estates and Peter's Gate Suhd. strongly desire
the right-of-way to be dedicated to leave future options open, We are
supported in this by Ted Kinney, our Road Board representative.
Another road/trail access issue involves the upper Kullberg-Sullins trail,
which is used by pedestrians and school children needing to get to bus
stops in Scimitar Subd, (Chugach Park Estates and Peter's Gale Sabd, have
no school bus service because of narrow steep roads,)
Within the last week or so trees have been felled and "No Trespassing"
signs posted along the Seica-Kullberg and Kullberg-Sullins trails. I
question the legality of this act- prohibiting access along historical
roadbeds and traditional trails when no significant modification to the
property has been (or will imminently be) accomplished. But regardless of
the legality, this is an example of the kind of behavior xvhich has eroded
trust in Mr. Myers' good faith and concern for community welfare. School
starts in a week and a half. Given we have no school bus service in
Chugach Park Estates and Peter's Gate Subdivisions, how does Mr. Myers
propose the children on the mountain get. to their bus stop in Scimitar? By
walking an additional two miles along narrow dangerous roads? Judging
from his actions Mr. IVlyers does not propose any solution, Therefore, the
question reverts to you: How does the Municipality propose to safequard

our children, beginning September 2 and continuing if Denali View
Subdivision is app~'oved? This circumstance supports our contention that
the road access issue needs to be formally resolved before approval of
plat and not left to the discretion of the developer.
In conclusion, given the significance of many of the conflicts in this case, l
very strongly oppose any plan to approve the preliminary plat for Denali
View, contingent upon completing further pump tests etc. Such an action
would end the public process and conscribe the ability for citizens to
comment and review decisions that may have serious impacts on their
neighborhoods. Given that serious policy issues are at stake, this would set
a very dangerous precedent. Water, road access and procedural issues
must be resolved before the public process is closed and before thc
development is approved.
Thank you for )'our serious consideration of these matters. I would be
happy to discuss them further at any time.
Sincerely yours,

RE: Denali View Subdivision
Dear Mr. Cross,
This "aquifer stress" test that is being proposed by Terrasat will not show the true impact
to the aquifer of well pumping over the long term. Such a test will give us very little useful
information. This must be considered before plans are made to conduct more testing.
There are a number of reasons my concerns. Such a test must be technically sound to
produce valid results from which any clear conclusions can be drawn. Controlled pumping
is critical. Every well within 1000 feet of the pumped wells must be verifiably shut down
for at least 9 to 12 days. This will require absolute compliance by every property owner.
This will be difficult if not impossible to accomplish. How is this going to be addressed?
The test will not show the true impact on surrounding wells since it does not address
seasonal aquifer recharge that will replenish the aquifer. Recharge is a critical part of the
equation that would need to be modeled as well.
Disparate water levels show that the wells around Scimitar are not closely hydraulically
connected to the new well on lot 9. The mathematical basis for determining impact on non-
hydraulically connected wells requires many simplified assumption that prohibit clear
conclusions.
The technical analysis will also need to demonstrate that a 70% stress level will represent
long term aquifer pumping levels. This is very unlikely as evidenced by high water level in
the well just east of our 500' bedrock well after years of pumping. This fact will invalidate
the test results.
I tall<ed with Mr. Young about this test on Friday. His plan is to flow the wells at very high
rates for a long enough period to show some effect, however little, on surrounding wells.
His conclusion would be that an effect on any surrounding well would then be an adverse
or undue effect on all Iow flow wells in the area (via less water to dilute nitrates). The
obvious problem is that nitrates in the area are not currently elevated any where near State

standards, It assumes that the new septic systems will automatically add nitrates into the
ground water at levels above the State standards and this position doesn't address aquifer
recharge. It also assumes that any effect would be undue or adverse. This approach is
flawed. Any testing must address the issue of undue impact, The testing program as
discussed is only going to lead to more disagreement of the issue since the data will not be
conclusive and will allow for a wide range of interpretation,
Requesting the Owner to conduct additional, questionable tests is not justifiable. The testing
being discussed will produce very little information of any value,
There is enough technical data available to determine whether this subdivision meets the
Municipal subdivision standards. Before I can recommend to my Client that he spend more
money on water testing, I need to know exactly what information is missing, what the basis
of your decision is, and what portion of Title 21 or Title 15 has not been satisfied. How will
further testing be technically valid and how it will provide the missing information. What
criteria will the Municipality use to evaluate the data?
We strongly believe that the solution to the existing Iow production wells in the area is
hydrofracture. We invite you to examine our information on this technology. I think you will
become convinced, as we are, of its effectiveness. Additional testing by my client will not
solve the existing water problems.

EncloSed is ai letter from the Arlene Myers

printing of the !asr pao,ket, In summarY/, of the 183 property owners, t4 {7~6°~) respor~ded
concerning the water issue. From the size of the packet, it would appear that there is a
serious water shortage in the area and that there is a large CommunityI out cry for
Community water. The public record shows that fewer than 10% of the prol~erty owners
are exper~enclr)g water problems and less than that have experienced water s~,ortages that
are below the Municipal standards.
Their is a small number of very active property owners who are trying to ma ce the water
issue much large th~n it really is. When you finally get a copy of Mr. Young's report based
on hca say mformabon, this fact wdl once again be substantiated, N~netyltwo percent
(92%) of the Commu,ity is not concerned enough with water to even write An opinion·
Solutions to the so called water problem is not more testing. Solutions are:
Reduce the r~sk:of the new home owners drilling dry wells by using the o well that
ere currently drilled to serve two or more lots. If each well serves three Ibts, we have
ceduce lJhe risk'of dry or Iow flow wells by 55%. In addition, it will re~luce the risk
of adverse impact to adjacent property owners.
Current i low flow wells need to be hydrofractured. The data shbw~ that this is
reasonable solution both in terms of cost and results. Mr, Mu~ter has ar~ independent

Dept. Health & Human Services
Dear Mr. CrOss,
I understand that we are being asked to meet with represen'tatives of DNR, ADEC and the
Community in an effort to reach some consensus on what is needed to resolve their
concerns with water availability.
For the ,record, I want tO state that the Developer has cooperated and complie~l with every
request of the Municipality and your Department relative to this matter.
Our responses to these iequests have been both timely, accurate and thorough. I am finding
it difficult to understand why we need additional meetings to reach corlcurrence When the
data and reports show conclusively that there is. adequate water for th~s subd'v's'on. Those
who are clouding the issue either didn't understand the data, choose to ignore, the data, or
have relied on antidotal information rather than the hard facts. In the case of ADEC, I'm not
sure if he understood tee issues.
1) We have installed two wells on the property. Both wells are very good producers.
Yet no credit is g!ven to the fact that both wells were drilled in an area where "there
is no or little wal~er."
2) Both wells have good, long term quantities of water. This has been adequa,tely
demonstrated.
3) The Hydrology report has demonstrated that there is adequate water, quality water,
Iow risk of adverse or undue impact to surrounding properties.
4) There is no health issue here. The nitrate report demonstrates that the water quality
in the area is excellent. There certainly is no data to suggest that additional on-site
septic systems will adversly affect the water quality.

(907) 344-1385 * Fax 844-1383
We have clearly demonstrated that this is a safe, reasonable development and, that the data
is sufficient for this subdivision to be approved, i
The real issue is not whether there is adequate quantities of water available, but how
expensive it is to find the water. This is inherent with bedrock areas, This issue will is not
be affected by this subdivision. The issues of cost will not be resolved w,'hether this
subdivision becomes fully developed or not, :
I recommend that we meet with ADEC and IDNR concerning their comments. . doubt that
they will be able to support their positions if Mr. Munter is provided an opl~ortunity to
present his information first hand.
I have little inclination to address Mr, Young's report further. He had ample op~ortunityto
get hard data, Even alto(you suggested to the Community that they get their yells tested,
Mr. Young directed them' not to, Instead, he purposely decided to rely on partial }or antidotal
information instead of scientific data. ~
would recommend that Mr. Young be directed to obtain scientific data if his report is given
any standing on the issue of adequate water supply. I'm sure the Developer wou!d make the
wells available to Mr. Young if he decided to run a pump test, ,
On Thursday, August 14th, at 1:30 p,m,, we are to meet with the Director a~nd Staff of
Community P'lannlng and, Development. I would appreciate your attendance at th, is meeting,
If Community Planning continues to be involved in this issue, then we need tO have time
alloted to hear their specific concerns and for them to hear first hand exactly how we have
addressed the issue, ~

Dear Mr. Cross,
This "aquifer stress" teS;t that is being proposed by Terrasat will not show the ' 'ue impact
to the aquifer ofiWell plumping over the long term, Such a T,est will give .us very.littl.e useful
information. Th!s muSt;be considered before plans are maae to conclucT more ~esTmg.
There are a number of reasons my concerns, Such a test must be technically/ sound
produce valid results from which any clear conclusions can be drawn, Controlled pumping
is critical. Every well within 1000 feet of The pumped wells must be verifiablyishut down
for at least 9 to'12 days. This will require absolute compliance by every property owner.
This will be diffi~:ult if not impossible to accomplish. How is this going to be a~dressed?
The Test wil:l not show the True impact on surrounding wells since it does r~ot address
seasonal aquifer~recharge That will replenish the aquifer. Recharge is a criticalipart of the
equation tha~ weuld need To be modeled as well.
Disparate waterjlevels show That the wells around Scimitar are not closely h?draulically
connected to th~ new Well on lot 9. The mathematical basis for determining imppct on non-
hydraulically connected wells requires many simplified assumption that pr+hibit clear
conclusions. 'i
The technical adalysis Will also need to demonstrate that a 70% stress lave) w~l represent
long ~erm aquife{r pumping levels. This is very unlikely as evidenced by high w~ter level in
the well just ea~ of our 500' bedrock well after years of pumping. This fact will invalidate
the test results.
I talked with Mrl Young about this test on Friday, His plan is to flow, the wells ~t very high
rates for a long enough period to show some effect, however little, on surrounding wells.
His conclusion would be That an effect on any surrounding well would then beian adverse
or undue effect on all Iow flow wells in the area (via less water to dilute nitrates). The
obvious problem is that nitrates in the area are not currently elevated any where near STate

standards. It asJsumes that the new septic systems will automatically add nitra :es into the
ground water atilevels above the State standards and this position doesn't add~ ess aquifer
recharge. It also assumes that any effect would be undue or adverse. This ~pproach is
flawed, Any res, ting must address the issue of undue impact. The testing }rogram as
discussed is only going to lead to more disagreement of the issue since the dar; will not be
conclusive and ~vill allow for a wide range of interpretation.
Requesting the Owner to conduct additional, questionable tests is not justifiable. The testing
being discussedlwill produce very little information of any value.
There is enough technical data available to determine whether this subdivisior{ meets the
Municipal subdivision standards. Before I can recommend to my ,Clien, t that he spend more
money on waterltesting, I need to knoW exactly what information is missing, wh~t the basis
of your decisionlis, and what por,tion of Title 21 orTitle 15 has not been satisfie~. How will
further testing b~e technica y vahd and how t will provide the missing information. What
criteria will the Municipality use to evaluate the data? I
We strongly beiieve that the solution to the existing Iow production wells inlthe area Is
hydrofracture. We invite you to examine our information on this technology. I tttink you will
become convind'ed, as we are, of its effectiveness, Additional testing by my clilent will not
solve the existing water problems.

RE: Soils Investigation/Denali View Subdivision
Dear Mr. Cross,
We have submitted a preliminary plat proposing subdivision of Scimitar Subdivision #3, Tract
1, in to 11 lots and rename it to Denali View Subdivision. The following soils report is being
submitted for your review and approval in accordance with Title 15.65.180 and the
Municipality of Anchorage's platting regulations.
We completed the soils investigation on April 10 and 11. We placed one test hole on each
of the proposed lots. (See attached sketch). The soils investigation included digging test
pits to depths between 13' to 16' (unless water was encountered) using a Hatachi track
backhoe. A 4" monitoring tube was placed in each pit. All soils were visually classified.
The soils were very consistent throughout the subdivision. Generally, the soils consist of 12"
of organic overburden, overlying approximately 2' of organic silts with sand and roots. Below
that is slightly silty sandy gravel with rock to 12" and occasional boulders to 3 feet. There
were minor variations in soil strata found throughout the subdivision. The only test pit that
varied significantly was 7A. The soils found in this test pits consist of clean sands. No
gravel was encountered. The soil logs for each test pit are enclosed.
At the time of the investigation, water was encountered in test pit 6, 7A, and 7B at 10', 12',
and 12' respectively. The water table was monitored through April 30th in an effort to cover
Spring runoff and hopefully determine the seasonal high water table. On April 30th, water
was logged in test holes 6, 7A, and 7B. Depth to water was 6.7', 8', and 10.4' respectively.
None of the other test pits had water.
Percolation tests were conducted at all of the test pits. Percolation rates varied from 0.1
minutes per inch to 3.5 minutes per inch. All of the soils have rapid percolation rates.
Based on our soils investigation, and in accordance with Section 15.65.180 (B1), each lot
has the minimum 10,000 square feet of total reserve area required for on-site waste water
disposal systems.

Dear Mr. Dee High
We would like to make our well available for monitoring during your aquifer
testing of the Denali View Subdivision.
We are concerned that damage may ocCUr to our well or pumping system. The
following conditions will be required of the developer if he uses this well:
1. Before the well is used, a qualified pump installer* must do_a pressure
test of the system. The test resultS must be recorded. Costs for this task
will be the respensibillty of the developer.
2. Before the developer uses our Well the qualified installer must evaluate
the electrical system and record the resultS. This information must be
provided to the homeowner the same day of the test.
3. If water service is discontinued to the house for more than 3 hours in any
one day, the developer will be responsible to provide potable, hauled
water directly to the house for the time that the well is out of service (at
the developer's expense). As an alternative, the developer can make
arrangementS (at least one week in advance) for our family to stay in a
hotel for the duration of time the well is out of service. The developer will
be responsible for the cost of the hotel and meals away from home.
Immediately after testing, the developer will be responsible for ~restodng
the well to the same condition as before the aquifer testing. The same
qualified pump Installer that conducted the pressure and electrical tests
must do work that is done in this task, The condition of the well will be
verified by the installer using the same techniques during the pre-test (see

upon well restoration, the developer will be responsible to insure that the
well is disinfected. A qualified pump installer must do the disinfection.
Disinfection will be done, at a minimpm, by following the procedures
described in Groundwater and We~Is, 2"° edition, pages 619-623.
