Subject: Major Permit Application - revision
This note will serve to withdraw the portion of the pending application which requests a riprap groin.
The alternative location proposed by the Dept of Fisheries will not achieve the objective from an engineering or
economic perspective. Further, it wpud overlay no more bottom near existing SAV than the mitagation we
proposed.
It is disappointing, unfortunate and regrettable that the compromise location we proposed which would reduce
the requested project size by 2%3 and has no significant adverse impact on SAV is unacceptable to the Dept of
Fisheries. The position they have taken exceeds the stated requirements of the written rules. While it may be
consistent with other positions they have taken, it defies common sense.
We reserve the option to reapply for a riprap groin in the future. But, there is no sense holding up the primary
objective as outlined in the application.
Please iisue the major Permit without the previously requested groin
Thank you for your help in working our way thru the issues .
