Good afternoon Jean,
I have revised the delineation mapping per the changes we made during our site visit including three
wetlands (B-1, B-2, and B-3) and additional stream lengths. I've included the stream determination
forms, wetland data forms, additional photos, and an updated ORM spreadsheet. Following our pre -
app meeting, I'll be able to zero in on which sites need the NCSAM.
I'd like to sit down and go over our impacts with you before moving forward. We have tentatively set
aside June 7th for our pre -application meeting. I think Jennifer is waiting to confirm until you respond.
Would that day work for you? If not, just shoot me some alternative dates and we will coordinate with
DWR.
Thank you,
Anna Reusche, PWS
