Exhibit I - Sells Information (Rule 6.4.9)
Wetlands. The Crops of Engineers, Seahorse Ranch and American Concrete and Gravel, LLC have
reviewed this site for wetlands and any possible mitigation factors. After reviewing the site, and a
wetlands study, the fdlowing was detemrined. (1) 4.28 acres of wetlands did exist with in the site. (2)
base on the site being used for a sand and gravel excavation operation, the wetlands with in the site
were not jurisdictional. As such it was not necessary to mitigate these wetlands. Part of the
consideration fro this position is that when ttre Seahorse Pond Gravel Pit site was permitted, the
Seahorse Ranch created 7.4 acres ~ wetlands that did not exist prior to that date. The Seahorse Pond
Gravel Pit site contained 0.96 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. The ranch has created more wetlands
then that which is being disturbed with in either of the gravel pit sites.
