Gene <br /> ATTACHED NOTE <br /> Date: 09/16/92 <br /> From: Randy MacDonald CEEXRXM - RIS1 <br /> To: Les Lyle CEWELAL - RIS1 <br /> Gene Shutt CEWMEGS - RIS1 <br /> Sandra Gleason CEWASLG - RIS1 <br /> cc: Chris Andersen CEWACFA - RIS1 <br /> Subject: Amazon Channel Cleaning <br /> Gene - Thanks for the analysis and summary of options related to the Amazon <br /> cleaning proposed for 24th and Amazon. It was very helpful . I'm sorry I did <br /> not learn of the Monday meeting until after it was over. I had not checked my <br /> OA as I was away at an LOC conference the last half of last week. <br /> By the way, Sandra and Les, if you don't hear from me on e-mail , give my staff <br /> a call at 346-5020, and they will get messages to me or schedule meetings for <br /> me. My life is real hectic right now, so I need the follow-up. Thanks. <br /> I discussed the options re:Amazon cleaning with the Upper Amazon Steering <br /> Committee at our recent meeting. We would like to get together with Public <br /> Works staff (Gene, Les, others) and discuss the feasability of a volunteer <br /> effort to help mitigate the impact while addressing the sediment and other <br /> water capacity concerns. We believe that myself, Barbara Keller, and Steve <br /> Lawn from the steering committee should participate, and also suggest that <br /> Sharon Teague and a representative from FRESH/Audobon Society (Art Farley?) <br /> should also be involved. I think that this citizen/staff discussion can lay <br /> the groundwork for a positive,cooperative effort to address this issue. <br /> One basiece of information we will need for that meeting is:Approximately <br /> how much sediment are we talking about (cu. yards, etc.) removing? We need <br /> to assess whether a volunteer effort is achievable or not. <br /> We need to move fairly quickly to beat the rainy season. For the three of us <br /> on the steering committee, 9/22 at 4pm works best, 9/23 at 3:30pm is the 2nd <br />
