If Les wants the ditch filled back in we can do it. I do feel though <br /> that any future calls /complaints on this should be directed to Deborah or Ed. <br /> This is nothing more then a swamp area that was never sloped right to allow for <br /> runoff. If the ditch is filled in and water is left no escape it is going to <br /> put water onto abutting property owners. DR <br /> ATTACHED NOTE <br /> Date: 07/12/93 <br /> From: Dave Ritter CEWMDPR - RIS1 <br /> To: Les Lyle CEWELAL - RIS1 <br /> Subject: Richardson Bridge Area <br /> Les, Jack talked with me about the ditching that was done near the Richardson B <br /> ridge. The area that was drained has been a bog for as long as I can remember. <br /> Several years back when doing the paving, etc for Richardson Bridge we stubbed <br /> out the drain in order to give the water somewhere to drain to. The reason we <br /> went in this summer to re -ditch that area(approx 200') was from several calls /c <br /> omplaints from abutting property owners in that area. Complaints ranged from m <br /> osquitos to water backing up onto their property. Most were not pleased with t <br /> he situation. Jack indicated that you now wanted the ditch filled back in. I <br /> dont have a problem doing that and if we are to do that I will also cap of the <br /> drain. I would like to know who I should direct the calls /complaints to in the <br /> future? I am sure this area meets the description of a wetland but only becau <br /> se it never had the proper slope to drain water like it should have. Let me kn <br /> ow just what you want done out there? I do know though that there is going to <br /> be some angery property owners who abutt the swamp. DR <br /> ♦ w <br />
