Artificial Turf Report Public Draft Comments-MCCF_May-11-2011

  1. Did we ever get an answer as to WHY 19 bags of new ground up tires were put on the Richard Montgomery field? The only answer we saw was that either (1) installation was defective and they didn't put enough in in the first place, or (2) MCPS improperly snowplowed the field. Since MCPS claims they didn't snowplow the field...why are we still dealing with a company that did "crummy" installation?

  2. This is truly yeoman's work and we all thank you! Are there any actual conclusions to this report that are either supported or refuted?
