Hello Nicole. My name is Lewis Gleason and I live at 61325 Living Stone Dr, La Quinta, CA 92253. I am in opposiIon
to the wave park. So several years ago my company did all the underground plumbing at the new thermal sheriffs
staIon on airport rd in thermal. It is appropriately 8 miles from where the new proposed wave park would located. To
bring your aWenIon the contract who installed the sewer and storm drain came in contact with major ground water
at 15 Y below finish grade. This’s caused major issues while trying to install the sewer main lines. Pumps pumps and
more pumps were needed to try and elevate the thousands of gallons of water entering the excavaIon. It’s
dangerous work for sure. Do to the high water table more than 90 concrete piles were used along with massive
concrete and rebar grade beams to create a base on which the structure could sit on. The piles were 60 long. The
engineers were very concerned that when the water tables would rise they could liquify the soil under the buildings ,
hence the reason for building the structures on sIlts and or concrete piles. Has there been a study on the depth of
the water table on the proposed WP site ? Could the wave pools water contaminate our water table and Aqua-fir and
drinking water ? I think a lot of research needs to go into these issues before we even get started. Can’t imagine what
would happen if possible drinking water contaminaIon for the proposed WP got out into the public. I would
appreciate any feed back from you Nicole regarding these issues. Have a wonderful Easter. Lewis Gleason
