Gee I guess you haven't heard that there are 1000 kids coming at the end of the month… to Boca… to camp anywhere they can find but primarily in three places. There are 20 toilets and 20 showers being built on a lot previously undeveloped behind the little store and a bit north. The water table up here is at 2 1/2 feet down and they dug a pseudo leech field which filled up and have installed two seemingly small septic tanks that the workers say will be emptied when full…which with 500 kids camping in that field will be how often? Who can predict how fast this will contaminate the wells located in that very same field?
This will create an impact on the environment that no one is interested in addressing…until in their own back yards which sadly is inevitable…
