<br />The 404 permit included: the construction of a settling pond to mitigate the effects of in- <br />channel equipment work. <br />The work performed: Because no earthwork or equipment was operated in the stream the <br />settling pond was eliminated. <br />The 404 permit included: mature willow transplants on newly built point bazs. <br />The work performed: No point bars were conswcted in the floodplain, and so no mature <br />willow transplanting occurred. As previously mentioned, willow cuttings will be planted in the <br />conswcted terrace. <br />The 404 permit included: the regrading of relic islands to improve visuals <br />The work performed: This work was accomplished and contributed to an improvement in the <br />site character (see map, detail D) . The material removed from the upper island was used to <br />buIld the west bank of the San tvliguei above the conr"mence to eliminate several braided <br />channels. This will still function as a flood channel if needed. The material from the lower <br />island contributed to the development of the lower terrace. <br />The 404 permit included: the creation of a small wetland ecosystem as a part of site <br />enhancement. <br />The work performed: This was accomplished. As a part of final floodplain site grading below <br />the confluence the wetland hydrology for aquarter-acre size wetland was created (see map, detail <br />E). This enhancement element of the project will be planted later this season with wetland <br />species. <br />The 404 permit included: The removal of the dike on National Forest land. The dike is located <br />below the confluence and extends upstream from private land. The dike separates the primary <br />channel from access to its floodplain. <br />The work performed: This work will be completed as originally planned (see map, detail F) . <br />Some minor site regrading remains to be done. <br />We do not wish to terminate the 404 permit at this time, which will remain in effect until January <br />1, 2002. While we do not have immediate plans to do work beyond that which has been <br />described we do not want to rule out that possibility. I look forward to your respon::e which we <br />hope Finds the work completed acceptable. <br />SincereL~ ~ ~ <br />l ~y <br />/ '~ <br />- ~~iL <br />ROBERT L.
