The IRT reviewed the proposed amendment and agree that the remaining restoration and enhancement reaches still offer valuable functional uplift to Swift Creek. Two concerns that need to be addressed include, 1) The portions of the project that are being removed should maintain a stable (even if currently degraded) system including the confluences of Shard and Fisher with Swift Creek by excluding (fencing) livestock from stream reaches, and 2) Crossing #3 should be shifted so that it is internal to the conservation easement. The preference is to have the crossing included in the easement, and be oriented perpendicular to the channel, rather than at an angle, and avoid the wetlands adjacent to reach 3. We support moving forward with this project with the proposed change, provided you are able to incorporate the IRT comments above. Please reach out with any questions.

The parcel was deeded to the Boy Scouts in the 1930s and the deed included a number of restrictions. The restrictions will need to be released by the grantors' heirs in order to gain clear title. I talked to all six of the heirs and four are fine with releasing the restrictions but two are not. I thought maybe we could get there but their lack of willingness to communicate about the matter makes it impossible to proceed. So we'd like to schedule a call with you to see what effect this change might have on the project. Would you be available sometime next week for a brief call?
