David Merk, Director of Environmental Services for the Port District, stated that no permanent dewatering would occur, since recent experience with permanent dewatering systems had not been positive, the Regional Water Board is not issuing permanent dewatering permits at this time, and the City of San Diego will not receive the groundwater due to sewer capacity issues. Agency/Councilmember Moot asked if there were any way underground parking could be accommodated without the dewatering process. Mr. Merc responded negatively. Agency/Councilmember Moot stated that if a growing groundwater contamination issue exists, it should be properly addressed.

Mr. Art Selgren, representing BFGoodrich, objected to changing the proposed agreement and stated that the company would like to move forward with the project.
