Without drainage, the land won't percolate and qualify for septic tank permits, he said on his second meeting with the board regarding the easement. But trustees wanted to know more?if Uie drainage plan would interfere with development of the college's master plan, if it would damage college property and if approval of the Environmental Protection Agency could be obtained since the runoff ultimately enters nearby Clark Creek.
