New Search
I will contact the Oregon Natural Heritage Program and request they search their database for <br />previous sightings of rare plant species in the vicinity of the projects. <br />Task 2. Field Research <br />I will conduct the field work necessary to determine whether wetlands exist at the two sites. <br />I will conduct a site visit to characterize the plant and wildlife habitat along the projects and in the <br />nearby vicinity, in order to establish the potential for rare species presence. I will map the <br />potential habitats on aerial photos. <br />Task 3. Documentation Development <br />All office and field data will be compiled and presented in the reporting formats required by the <br />reviewing and regulatory agency staff. Wetland Determination Reports of Findings will be <br />quickly developed and presented concisely and clearly. Required graphic information will be <br />included in the document where appropriate and in the Appendices. The reports will be provided <br />to you for draft review. Should jurisdictional areas be found, I will coordinate with you as to the <br />next reasonable steps to be taken. <br />I will develop a Habitat Characterization and will assess the likelihood that rare plants will be <br />present in the vicinity. I will also assess the potential for rare species to be impacted by your <br />project, comparing the likely habitat areas against your proposal for the stream enhancement <br />project. <br />Task 4. Client and Agency Coordination <br />As the documents are reviewed and processed, I will be available to participate in discussions <br />regarding the justifications for the findings. Should jurisdictional areas be determined to be not <br />present, the wetlands work will be complete. Should rare plant species be determined to be not <br />likely present, the rare species work will be complete. <br />Any further work will be conducted under a later contract. <br />Fees <br />I propose to complete the services outlined above on an hourly basis, and I anticipate that certain <br />expenses will be incurred for mileage during site visits, act for report production. The following <br />is my estimate of hours and costs required for the projects. <br />Owosso Bikepath Culvert Installation <br />Task 1.
