DP3

Should Engineer R appear before the County Drainage Board and present technically grounded public testimony documenting the environmental risks of the proposed truck stop, or refrain from intervening in the regulatory process?

Engineer R, a licensed professional engineer and area resident with technical knowledge of environmental risks, must decide whether to appear before the County Drainage Board to present documented concerns about the ZZZ truck stop project — specifically the proximity of underground storage tanks to the creek and the historical fill site conditions — or to remain silent and allow the approval process to proceed without a public technical challenge.

Appear before the Drainage Board and deliver fact-grounded public testimony citing verifiable data — including the LUST database leak rate and the historical fill site characteristics — to document the environmental risk to the creek

Refrain from testifying before the Board and instead submit written concerns privately to the project engineer or ZZZ without entering the public record

Appear before the Board to testify and simultaneously notify State I's Department of Environmental Management directly about the underground tank proximity risk and historical fill conditions, independent of the Board proceeding
