Lincoln Park Update <br />Karen Simmons gave the Recreation Committee an update on the most recent DEP requirements <br />for Lincoln Park. She explained that DEP is requiring four (4) wind driven rotary ventilation <br />structures within the park. These vents will be seven feet high. Their purpose is to vent any <br />methane gases that may have accumulated. Karen Simmons further explained to the Committee <br />that DEP would not allow the sewer line to be connected until the vents are installed. <br />The Recreation Committee discussed the DEP requirements, and questioned why the locations <br />were chosen. Haley and Aldrich proposed the locations for the vents, explained Karen Simmons. <br />Dick Thuma noted that sewer gases would be vented in addition to any methane gas. <br />Karen Simmons told the Committee that members of the Lincoln Park Sub-Committee had seen <br />the plans for the ventilation structures. David Williams had reviewed the plans and signed off on <br />them, and Lynne Wilson had also been advised of the DEP requirements. <br /> <br />Don Chisholm asked if additional underground drains would have to be installed to handle any <br />excess water run-off near the fitness path. Karen Simmons told him that the drainage lines are <br />in. The final step will be for Forte Construction to tie these lines into the pipes. <br /> <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
