Teresa,
My comments for the EA on this project are specific to endangered species. The document discusses dwarf flowered
heartleaf and says (page 34) that surveys will need to be conducted for the project. Apparently, there is an occurrence
very near the slope stake lines in one area but there is no map that I can find and the author dismisses this occurrence by
saying it is outside the slope stake lines. If this corridor hasn't been surveyed, it should be before a final alignment is
chosen. I don't recall ever having seen an NRTR for this project so I only have the information in the EA to go on. I
wasn't sure who the project manager is, thus the e-mail to you.
I've been trying to get through several large reviews and just realized comments were due last week. Given that this
project isn't funded for ROW or construction, I suppose there isn't much hurry, but surveys should be completed before a
final alignment is chosen.
If you have questions, please call or e-mail. thank you marella
