.' " E. Memorandum From Lane County Mr. Henry, noting the DEQ agreement which refers to the ground water situation in the River Road/Santa Clara area, said it is an agreement which says Lane e County will continue its moratorium on building in that area and educate resi- dents on potential hazards. The County will have a hearing on the agreement August 21. The situation is much more serious than was reported previously. The hearing will be held from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. and then continue at 7:30 p.m., if necessary. Mr. Lieuallen asked if the agreement stipulated that DEQ would continue the moratorium. Mr. Henry responded that DEQ has lifted its moratorium although Lane County's moratorium continues. In response to Councilo~ Lieuallen's question about reinstating the moratorium by Lane County, Pat Decker, Planning, stated that if the County agrees then they will maintain their moratorium and there is no reference to the EQC's minimum lot size of 1.3 acres. Ms. Miller asked if this is in response to the DEQ well report, and, if so, she requested a copy. Ms. Decker stated that it is in response to DEQ's report and copies will be provided to the council. The EQC has reviewed the report and feels that there is a serious ground water problem. F. Boundary Commission Legislation Mr. Henry stated that he had spoken with Paget Engen in Salem; she reported that the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate have agreed on strategies to continue funding the Boundary Commission at least through September.
