Note: The wetland area adjacent to house is rough with potholes and mounds that prevent
flow of water through the area.and cause ponding that creates significant mosquito breeding
habitat. This work is needed to impeove the flow of water. Mounds will be leveled and
potholes filled within the areas indicated. No work will occur within 2' of existing trees.
A small pond is proposed to provide habitat for killifish as a means of further mosquito ;HM)
control. Other than the pond area, the total area of wetlands will not be reduced by this
work.
