The fish return channel runs between the Walterville tailrace and <br />the McKenzie River and provides a means for upriver migrating salmon that <br />enter the tailrace to return to the main stem of the river. The project will <br />impact up to 0.5 acres of wetland, and EWER has chosen to compensate <br />for this wetland impact by purchasing credits from the West Eugene <br />Wetlands Mitigation Bank. <br />This project is subject to permitting by Oregon Department of State Lands, <br />which is requiring EWEB to fulfill the obligation of credit purchase prior to <br />issuance of required permits. <br />We have received funds from EWEB for the purchase of 0.5 mitigation <br />credits, and this credit sale will generate $39,460 in revenue for the City's <br />wetland mitigation bank fund (Fund 536). <br />Please sign the attached copies of the contract, and then return them to <br />Kris Aanderud (x4966). Thanks you. <br />Attachments: <br />1. Routing Form for contract 2010-05420 <br />2. Two copies of Contract 2010-05420 <br />
