However we were both surprised to see that although most <br />of the knapweed was sprayed, they were still producing seeds -maybe sprayed late??. Also, there was some <br />knapweed that was not sprayed at all. Mike will be in touch with you about it. <br />I do not know if you still want to do the public notice at this time or wait until the weed is under better control. Let <br />me know after you talk it over with Mike and others, then let me know. The one issue I see is that even if you <br />start the process, the agencies might be reluctant to get into it until the weed issue is more resolved -but maybe <br />not. I had in mind processing the bank under a nw-27. The nationwides expire in March 2007, but if investments <br />have been made, nationwides can be extended one year beyond that. When reissued, I do not know but suspect <br />there may be additional restrictions on nw-27, though I do not foresee that using it to do mitigation banks would <br />be removed. <br />Think about it and let me know. Right now everything is on hold for two things : 1) the formal wetland verification, <br />and 2) info needed for the public notice. <br />Nick <br />Nick Mezei <br />Corps of Engineers <br />970.243.1199 x-1? <br />9/21 /2006 <br />
