<br />. <br /> <br />The Honorable Edward J. Tagliente, Mayor <br />June 5, 1998 <br />Page four <br /> <br />2) Develop a plan for a stream rehabilitation proiect The town and the developer <br />should pursue a plan to implement a stream rehabilitation option instead of the proposed <br />side-spill channel. An enlarged, but still "natural" channel, with a capacity for a flow on <br />the order of a 2-year to 5-year magnitude, could be constructed. Then an overbank <br />floodplain terrace could be improved, as necessary, for the remainder of the IOO-year <br />flow. It is possible that existing riparian vegetation could be temporarily removed, stored <br />during construction, and then replanted, Additionally, new riparian vegetation could be <br />added as necessary. We believe that a floodplain very similar to the floodplain associated <br />with the proposed side-spill channel would result from such a project. <br /> <br />We would be happy to provide additional comments on the CLOMR request after the <br />comments and recommendations in this letter have been considered by the town and the <br />applicant. Please contact our office if you have any questions or concerns about our <br />letter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ '+: .~O=_ <br /> <br />Brian R.
