As you know, I am very familiar with the Delta Ponds from many <br /> different perspectives and over a substantial time period, and I look forward to <br /> working with you on this accessibility improvement project at this very interesting <br /> site. <br /> Project Understanding <br /> The City of Eugene is moving forward with plans to develop a boardwalk along <br /> the northern edge of the Delta Ponds, just east of Goodpasture Island Road. The <br /> boardwalk will pass through some areas that potentially meet jurisdictional <br /> wetlands and waters. , <br /> The issues that you have requested assistance in resolving include identifying <br /> whether and where wetlands are present, and assistance with the preparation and <br /> submittal of the wetland fill /removal permit application. Although a general <br /> delineation of the overall pond complex has been conducted, I believe it will be <br /> necessary to refine this in a delineation at aproject-specific scale. <br /> The following is my recommendation for the tasks, and my best estimate of the <br /> time and costs, necessary to see this delineation and permitting project <br /> successfully through the potential issues. <br /> Task 1. Wetland Delineation <br /> In 2004, I conducted the delineation of the Ponds complex ,relying heavily upon <br /> topographic map /aerial photo analysis, combined with selective field <br /> verification. Further research will be required and conducted. <br /> la. Office Research & Preliminary Analysis <br /> I will compile and analyze the existing information for the area, including the site <br /> history, soil survey, air photo libraries, plus the historic and recent delineations in <br /> the immediate vicinity. <br /> 27661 Crow Road lb. Field Research <br /> Eugene, OR 97402 I will conduct the necessary field work to firmly establish the boundaries between <br /> Tel. (541) 484-7336 upland and wetland. I will examine and document observations of hydrology, <br /> Mobile (541) 521-2806 soils characteristics and vegetation communities at each sampling point. <br /> Fax. (541) 484-1233 Identified boundaries will be flagged in the field and mapped as accurately as <br /> CoyoreCreekES@peoplepc:com Possible on the field maps. I will rely upon the City to prepare Field maps <br /> displaying the probable boundaries. <br /> <br />
