Our office received the report yesterday and will begin reviewing ASAP. Following review of the report, we'll touch base
back with the Central Office with thoughts and make sure we're in agreement with how to proceed.

Our office has a history with Bay Lakes and Mr. Warren. For reference, the history is summarized in the attached Bay
Lake Docs attachment. In short, a manmade lake/pond was connected to an established natural creek without
approval/authorization. Take a look at the attached topomap. You won't see a connection between Taylor Creek (and
area canals) and the subject lake. Aerial photos are also provided for reference. With the "connection" made between
the lake and creek/canals, "waterfront" lots with river access were created.
Mr. Whichard stopped by our office recently unannounced (within the last couple of weeks) and met with me and David
Moye (district [AMASupervisor). Mr.VVhichardvvasundertheimpressionthatourofficehadreceivedarecent^water
quality evaluation report" summarizing surface water monitoring data related tothe project. We let Mr. VVhichard
know that we hadn't received the report, but would be glad to review the data once received. Shortly thereafter, vve
received a "draft/prelimi nary" report, but still to my knowledge haven't received the official final report.
Once we receive the final surface water evaluation report and have chance to evaluate findings, | believe we'll be in a
position to make recommendations on how to proceed with the matter (as related to the course of action to address the
"connection" between the creek/|ake/cana|sin the area).
Given that the project overlaps with CAMA, we're working to coordinate with them also. Please call if anyone needs
more background or further information on where we are now with the matter.
Regarding Rose Acre Farms, it's my understanding that the existing case is still open and we're still working on things.
Please let me know if there are questions or comments.
Thanks

Neal — Based on a quick review of the attachment, I noticed that this appears to involve 404 wetlands /waters. That means
that the Army Corps would have to approve whatever is being proposed. I have copied the DWR Washington Regional
Supervisor, David May, to see if he has any insights into this. Regarding Rose Acres, we basically had a deal but then Rose
Acres backed out on the advice of their corporate attorneys. Lacy is meeting with staff on trying to resolve that. Thanks.
