I want to let you know that I just talked to Jennifer Dadisman with GeoEngineers about wetland comments I made last
January for the SEIS and this is a synopsis of my discussion with her.
One of my comments pertained to statements in the reports that said Wetlands C and D and the mitigation wetland may
have "enhanced" wetland hydrology, which is a regulated activity in the JCC. I assumed that these wetland hydrology
statements had come from a hydrologic report prepared for the project; however, Jennifer is not aware of a hydrologic
report having been prepared. lt is her understanding from speaking with Joel Purdy that the "enhanced" wetland
conditions was in reference to stormwater overflow, but this is not made clear in the SEIS. We discussed that the only
way to show that post-development wetland hydrologic conditions either mimic or differ from pre-development
conditions would be through a hydrologic report and this type of report would be needed to assess potential hydrologic
impacts (flow rate, flow quantity, overflow conditions and installation of pipes through the wetland buffer, wetland
spanning parcel boundary). (Note: the need for a hydrologic report is not new - I discussed this with Stacie and Al
probably 8 years ago and some of my comments from 2009 pertained to wetland hydrology).
GeoEngineers may not have a copy of the SEIS because she was not sure if the wetland mitigation plan was available for
review. Also, she said that the BMPs document was a draft - they had not prepared a final version - so she was not sure
if the draft was being used.
Finally, she said that EA, not GeoEngineers, prepared the SEIS sections and that EA put in the statement about 89
percent vegetation removal having no significant impact so GeoEngineers will likely have EA provide the response to
that statement in the SEIS.
Let me know if you have any questions.
