UNIVERSITY EXTENSION <br /> Geological and Natural History Survey T h e University of Wisconsin <br /> G. F. Hanson <br /> Director& State Geologist 1815 University Avenue <br /> M. E. Ostrom Madison, Wisconsin 53706 <br /> Associate State Geologist 608-262-1705 <br /> March 4, 1971 <br /> 3IS119 7J <br /> Mr. Francis C. Nero <br /> Burnett County Clerk <br /> Grantsburg, WI 54840 <br /> Dear Mr. Nero: <br /> Thank you for your letter of March 1. I am sorry that the appearance <br /> on March 5 had to be called off as Mr. Gebert and Mr. Olcott had both set <br /> time aside for this meeting, and the fact that another report might be <br /> forthcoming would, in no way, affect the report that we have submitted. <br /> The recorder house that we set up for the measurements is still in <br /> place although we removed the recorder when we completed the measurements. <br /> If the people who are making the run-off measurements during the spring would <br /> wish to use this installation they are welcome to do so. <br /> Both Mr. Gebert and Mr. Olcott, our geohydrologist, feel that little <br /> pertinent information can be gained from further streamflow measurements at <br /> this time. Although they could, of course, be considerably refined the data <br /> are reasonably reliable based not only upon the short-term measurements on <br /> Loon Creek but on their correlation with longer term records of streams in <br /> the area. <br /> The most critical factor now would be to set a more precise figure for <br /> the transmissability of the material in the vicinity of the reservoir site, <br /> which would control the amount of water lost by leakage. This could only be <br /> determined by pumping tests. <br /> The July-August period is a very busy one for us and most of the people <br /> are in the field or on vacation. We would be glad to explain our report to <br /> the County Board but there is no need for such an explanation to await the <br /> preparation of the second report. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> WISCONSIN GEO QGICAL SURRVEV_ <br /> eologist & Director <br /> GFH:ac �_ate_G, <br /> P.S. I checked with Mr. Gebert and Mr. Olcott following our phone conversation <br /> and they would be glad to attend the Board Meeting at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday <br /> April 20. <br />
