At this point we would only plan to use this If required to do so pending EMC decisions on whether we can use the stream restoration and mitigating effects of sewer as mitigation. The worst case area required for mitigation covers a 15' wide permanent maintenance corridor totaling 121,546 sf within the 200' buffer. If required to make a payment do you think the EMC would take into consideration a reduced amount due to mitigating effects of stream restoration? Please let me know if there is anything else you need.
