Meeting with Christian Simonelli

Christian Simonelli, Executive Director of the Boston Groundwater Trust, reviewed the proposal for Betterment with a particular eye to the need to preserve the groundwater on Alley 521.  The proposed drainage is “massive” and provides for drainage from buildings that are not part of the project proposed under Betterment.   Proper grading of the alley surface would be critical in maintaining desirable groundwater levels.  Can this grading be maintained with a gravel surface?
