Milliknn said he needed to install a
drainage ditch which would extend
122 feet into the campus, following a
natural ravine that wiu eventually be
flanked by buildings. The ditch would
drain up to 43 acres of a 75-acre tract
Milliken proposes to develop nearby
for commercial and residential use.
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.
Maynard Owens of the Soil Conservation
Service had advised the
drainage plan "should not result in a
wet or flooding problem on the col- 1
leRc properly."
