ok, john boy, I'm sending the map mike sent me with some of my scribbles
on it. the corridor to the north you refer to is one of the secondary
connection areas on the map and we would like to see that area restored
after they pass through so it still provides a good connection for the
east and west WHF areas. let me know how the meeting goes tomorrow and
if there are any big breakthroughs... also let me know if you have
questions after viewing the map. later, b

Re: Fw: Bonnerton SNHA
a map would be good. we too have concerns and want the area avoided
(with a corridor through the area to the north like one of the
alternatives) so please send a map so we can be sure that we are talking
about the same thing. We have a meeting with PCS tomorrow afternoon.
thankx

John,
Just forwarding this old correspondence string I had with Mike re
Bonnerton SNHA designation back in Feb. I think I may have shared
with
I you at the time. If you scroll down you will see where he says this
area is now designated as nationally significant in NHP database.
FYI,
I our NEPA letter on FEIS is STRONGLY advising alt L be modified to
avoid
the entire SNHA on Bonnerton -- this includes the western area and the
less mature area north of this western area and 2 secondary connective
pieces -- as you know, L as proposed, already avoids the eastern area

The only real documentation specific to this in the database is the
note
that this is one of the best examples. This is supported by the
database collectively, which shows that the combination of condition
and
size of this and the other nationally significant examples is better
than all our other examples. This is the same information that was
summarized in the paper I sent you. The other side of the conclusion
that it is nationally significant rather than state is that we have

the
bulk of its occurrences and that there isn't more than one other
occurrence in Virginia that is this good. Though not documented in our
database, which only covers our state, I did correspond with my
counterparts in Virginia to find out how their best examples would
compare. There's always a bit of uncertainty, including a possibility
that it would show up in South Carolina, but this is what the evidence
points to.

Thanks Mike. Did you provide any write up along with this change in
the
I database or was the updated 1-08 WHF status and trends report used
for
that purpose. Thanks again!!! bf
