NE. _ <br /> Salem, OR 97310-2532 <br /> Re: Gypsy Moth Eradication Program, Ashland, Oregon <br /> Dear Mr. Mudge: <br /> We understand that aerial spraying is planned soon in the southern part of the city of Ashland to <br /> eradicate gypsy moths. Even though some of the property to be sprayed appears to be outside the <br /> Ashland city limits, and thus in Jackson County, we do not believe that county lands are <br /> "congested", as contemplated by 14 C.F.R. §137.51(b)(1). It thus does not appear that Jackson <br /> County needs to give approval for the aerial operations. Jackson County therefore waives any <br /> right it may have under that regulation. We believe that the consent of the city of Ashland is the <br /> appropriate consent you need obtain for the proposal. To obtain such consent, you may contact <br /> Greg Scoles, city administrator at grregs. a~,ashland.or.us. <br /> Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Susan E. Slack <br /> County Administrator <br /> C: Greg Scoles, city administrator <br /> <br />
