Subject: ft.bragg/latham beaver pond, IP, 980211
I will try out the computer response on this later today, but for now
I wanted to let you know the current status of this project.
Alan Davis told them they would not need a permit at all if they blew
up the dam from the downstream side using a small charge, and avoided
making a discharge of fill material (flying dirt and sticks) into any
areas below the high water mark of the lake. Talked with Terry Myers
at Ft. Bragg and they have elected to follow this advice.
It will be executed as a training mission at night. The pond is >than
four feet deep and their field manual forbids any such impoundment
within one kilometer of a drop zone. This is adjacent to a drop zone
that's about ten miles long.
Terry apologized for not sending in a letter rescinding the request.
If you need such a letter, let me or him know.
