<br />the need to go offsite is definitely there. Eric pointed out that he hopes <br />onsite mitigation would be the cheapest because the COE and State own <br />the property already. Tom said that it's going to take a combination of <br />both onsite and offsite mitigation. The mitigation plan is giving priority to <br />areas in the Park before looking offsite. <br />. Ann pointed out that wetland mitigation is not always successful and that <br />contingencies need to be built into the plan. Benchmarks should be <br />identified to monitor and determine what the success rate is. Gary added <br />that USFWS is requiring 5 years of monitoring of mitigation projects. Eric <br />added that the water contracts will include stipulations for mitigation. <br /> <br />6) Recreation Analysis <br />. Meeting attendees concurred that the Recreation Analysis has been <br />covered to everyone's satisfaction in earlier meeting agenda items. <br />. Dave added that the EDAW map using NGVD 29 datum will be used <br />throughout the analysis-at one point in time there were maps in two <br />different datum formats but that has since been resolved. Tetra Tech and <br />the Corps will also use the 1929 datum. <br /> <br />7) Meeting Wrap Up, Action items and Next Meeting Date <br />. Question from Rick to Tom Browning: What is the status of the Seismic <br />Study? Tom said that there is not much to report and that they are finding <br />creative ways to make sure the Seismic Study gets funded. They need <br />about $100,000 and have come up with several ways to fund it and are <br />currently trying to decide which option is the best. <br />. Question from Rick to Tom Browning: How long do we have <br />Congressional funds lined up? Tom answered that the Continuing <br />Resolution is expiring this week and Congress will go under another one <br />until December. Tom believes that the funding situation is looking good <br />for the near future. <br />. Action Item: Chuck will send Cooperators the spreadsheets he used to <br />come up with the estimates presented in his slide show so that they can <br />recheck aspects of the calculations relevant to them. <br />. Next meeting-Thursday, December 13, 9:00 at Tetra Tech. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />Tetra Tech <br />
