MEMORANDUM <br /> Date: October 4, 1993 <br /> From: Bob Hammitt <br /> To: Barbara Keller and Randy MacDonald <br /> Subject: DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS ANNUAL INSPECTION <br /> I just received our written inspection report for the Amazon Channel that was <br /> undertaken last August. I thought you might be interested in reviewing a <br /> copy. <br /> I also wanted to let you know that we have received several complaints from <br /> property owners regarding the condition of the Amazon Channel between East and <br /> West Amazon Drives. Generally, the complaints are of concern about the heavy <br /> vegetation growth and the possibility of heavy rain storms creating flooding. <br /> Several of these people were property owners in the area during the early <br /> 1980's when the Amazon Channel flowed over its banks and into neighboring <br /> streets and properties. The latest complaint comes from a property owner that <br /> is concerned about the beaver dam that is built in the Amazon Channel at <br /> approximately 34th Avenue. I have asked Jack Long to contact Jeff Krueger to <br /> determine if he can remove the beaver dam as part of the volunteer effort that <br /> is planned for this weekend. The beaver will likely rebuild as long as there <br /> is a substantial amount of woody vegetation along the channel . If the <br /> volunteers cannot get the dam, I will have the Gradall remove it. I will <br /> instruct them only to remove what is necessary to restore flow. The woody <br /> vegetation will need attention by next summer. <br /> Hope this memo is helpful in keeping you posted. <br /> Attachments <br /> cc: Gene Shutt <br /> Jack Long <br /> Dave Ritter <br /> Deborah Evans <br />
