when this would work for you. <br /> Item #2 I also want to show you a open drainage channel off of Lassen St that <br /> is suffering a bad case of promiscous dumping. We have sent hand <br /> crews in past years but there are now a lot of old hypodermic needles <br /> in with the trash and we are going to have to use mechanized equipment <br /> to remove the trash. I just want you to see it before we do anything <br /> so you will know why we have to use the gradall. Local neighbors are <br /> on our case to clean up and fence off this. area. Gene is working on <br /> a response since we do not have access and it is not our property to <br /> fence. The location is only a few blocks from Maintenance so maybe <br /> we could combine this visit with the meeting I proposed in Item #1. <br /> Item #3 I just want to be sure you heard this from me first. Richard's crew <br /> have been filling ruts along the top of the Amazon (like what we saw <br /> on our last field trip near Danebo). Anyway, while they were grading <br /> the top of the south side levee near the diversion dam, Myron thought <br /> that some of the piled dirt along the back side of the levee had been <br /> left by the contractor from the last cleaning project. S0000, he ran <br /> over it with the CAT to flatten it out. Unfortunately, it was the <br /> northwest corner of the westerly (of the 2) mitigation sites on the <br /> south side of the channel. I went out with Richard this morning to <br /> look at it. It is an area about 30' by 30', one of the scalloped <br /> areas. Luckily, it is not terminal, it can be replanted. I have a <br /> call in to Mark Wilson in Portland to have him come down to look at it <br /> with me to see what we need to do to repair /replant. <br /> Reason this happened: Richard was not aware of the 2 mitigation sites <br /> along the south bank. This is my fault for not scheduling a tour of <br /> these sites for Gene, Dave, and Richard. Richard and I still need to <br /> work on our communication since I was not aware this project was in <br /> progress. We are working on it. <br /> Sorry to report this, if you want to look at it Monday let me know. Go <br /> ahead and share this with Les, he should know. jack <br />
