MBTA Southwest Corridor

January 11, 2005 We were asked by the MBTA's consultant to allow them to monitor, probably with level logging equipment, several of the Trust's wells near the southwest corridor that have shown extremely wide short term fluctuations. We agreed subject to getting the data in a timely manner, as well as to a commitment to repair any damages they might cause. We expect data relatively soon.
February 15, 2005 We have authorized the MBTA through GEI to have access to three of our wells to try to determine if their actions are responsible for the observed wide and rapid variations in groundwater levels at those locations. Christian has participated in one observation session. The results have not to date indicated clearly whether the T's groundwater pumping is responsible for the variations.
