| I have been appointed to the Impact Advisory Group for this project at the corner with Arlington Street. The site is one where groundwater levels have been a concern. The IAG comments will include an emphasis on groundwater among other issues. I have also filed comments on the project and met with the developer and his engineers to discuss their plans for a recharge system that will be used for both construction dewatering and reinjection from underdrains in addition to handling recharge from roof drains. |

| The IAG comments have been filed, and we are waiting to see the BRA’s scoping letter which will be issued next week. I expect that groundwater issues will be addressed in the way that we have requested. |

| The BRA scoping letter has been issued, and the proponents will be developing a Draft Project Impact Report. In addition to our comments, multiple letters addressed the importance of dealing with groundwater issues. The proponent and his team recognize the importance of the issue and have proposed a system that, if properly designed and executed, may provide more recharge than would be required under GCOD. |
