This had been forwarded to me, and I had <br />decided, instead of using it, to prepare my own cover letter, which is the letter dated November <br />• 10, 1997 that l faxed to you <br />On reflection, I probabh~ should have tither sent the draH letter along previously, or finaliud it <br />and sent it along I enclose it at this time however, in view of your comments, to draw your <br />attention to paracraph two of that letter wherein the survey sites are summarized with the <br />notation that 23 of the 26 identified locations where leafy spurge is found to one degree or <br />another at the prcxent nme are along Tallahassee Creek are areas in which there will be no <br />operations <br />Of the three remaining sites, one will be within an azea of"operations," but in point of fact, not <br />within an area of actual ground disturbance. This leaves two very small sites within the gravel <br />mining area where mining will occur, but ground disturbance will only occur several years into the <br />future By then. we expect to have killed off the leafy spurge in those two areas. <br />Secondly. it occurs to me and my clirnts that with the areas of leafy spurge infestation that <br />presently exist being along the banks of Ta]lahassee Creek, and obviously having spread there <br />from upstream. I think it is appropriate at this time to inquire as to what the Board is either <br />requiring or requesting of our fellow landowners upstream from the Harvey Ranch to eradicate <br />leafy spurge or otherwise prevem the reinfestation of my clirnt's property. If there are any <br />written plans in place. l would appreciate getting my hands on copes of those so that 1 can supply <br />them to my client 1 want to be able to assure my clirnt both that the county is treating everyone <br />. 303 Norlh ~~~•i ~h ,tiriccl.
