Once the wetland map is obtained a more accurate detejrmination of the available acreage south of the sludge pond can W. m dc. The target elevation of the constructed site would be low enough to capture and retain water, but not so low as to drown the seedlings and become a pond. Tree guards would be used to deter beaver predation of the seedlings. ? Should additional acreage be needed due to unsuccessful restoration/creation at portions of the Third Fork site or the Sandy Creek site, remedial mitigation may include 11 site remediation, 2) enhancement and preservation of the abandoned b ver meadow at the Sandy Creek site, 3) preservation of additional acreage elsewhere, or 4) the purchase of acreage through WRP if at that time there is acreage available. We will call to arrange discussion of these items, hopefully via a conference call. If that cannot be arranged in a timely fashion, CZR will discuss the matter with each of you individually. Thank you for your attention nd willingness to consider these alternatives. i file: 1753 cc: Samuel Cooper, CZR Incorporated Lee Murphy, City of Durham
