Additional notes and observations from the site reviews are listed below.
• All existing permitted sites that were not specifically mentioned in the application are to
remain in the Attachment B with no changes. Per Mr. Fletcher.
• Some sites had no modifications shown to the maps other than being redrawn using GIS.
The acreages changed on many of these sites due to more accurate mapping versus the old
hand drawn maps.
• Soil hand auger borings were placed in some of the proposed new areas of fields. See field
notes for additional details and field maps for the locations of borings.
• The following sites/fields which had proposed modifications were not reviewed onsite due
to access restrictions, crops present in the field, tall vegetation, and/or time constraints:
AM-18 Field #2, AM-116 Field #3/#4, AM-118 Field #3, AM-126 Field #9, and
CS-113 Field #4. Requested the Permittee (Mr. Fletcher) contact WSRO to allow site
review prior to the next application event to these sites.
The above described revisions and concerns were verbally discussed with the Permittee following
the site visits. Please let me know if you need additional information or have any questions.
