I <br /> have examined much of the azea for several alignment proposals for this project, <br /> and I can appreciate the City's desire to weave this street extension through several <br /> significant site constraints. <br /> Project Understanding <br /> The City of Eugene continues to examine several alignment alternatives for <br /> extending Chad Drive east to an intersection with Game Farm Road. The most <br /> recent proposal includes a potential alignment west of existing Old Coburg Road, <br /> intersecting Game Farm Road between the current intersection and the I-5 <br /> overpass. <br /> <br /> "fir" You have requested my assistance to conduct rare plant surveys and wetland <br /> delineation along this alignment. It is my pleasure to present you with this <br /> proposal. <br /> Task Outline <br /> I believe the following tasks will be necessary to develop the Part 3 your project: <br /> Task 1. Off ce Research <br /> I will review existing documents that cover this area, including the Soil Survey for <br /> Lane County, the National Wetland Inventory and historic aerial photographs. I <br /> have contacted the Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center regarding other <br /> alignments, and another contact will not be necessary for a search of their <br /> database. <br /> Task 2. Field Research <br /> I will conduct sampling along the new alignment, following standards established <br /> in the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers Manual for Wetland Delineation. All <br /> sampling points will include observations of hydrology, soils and vegetation. <br /> Sampling point locations will be flagged, numbered and plotted onto aerial <br /> 27661 Crow Road photographs. <br /> Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> Tel.
