We offer the followin comments on the previous reviews of FOR dated 1115103 and the BCWD dated 1/21/03: • FOR is utilizin a 100- Hi Water Level (HWL) of 927.7 for the existin wetland. We have previousl modeled this entire draina area and are usin a 100- y ear HWL of 929.2. The applicant has revised his drawin to reflect the 929.2 level, and we su BCWD review the number the are usin A 1996 Washin Count topo map showed the water level of the pond to be 928.5, which is a g ood indication of the Normal Water Level ( NWL) of the wetland. It appears that is the approximate NWL of the pond toda also. • A BCWD Permit was issued on 1115103 with six conditions and one special condition that references five more recommendations from EOR's 1115103 memo. The applicant indicated in his 317103 letter to the Cit that he has BCWD approval. It is m understandin from correspondence between Ja Johnson and Karen Kill, Washin Conservation District and BCWD Administrator, that neither part has si the permit as of y et. Additionall as indicated above, revisions to the plans should re a new review and permit issuance b the BCWD. 6. The nearest existin fire h on this site is approximatel 350' from the proposed buildin The fire department should review these plans to verif if additional fire protection is re (we t re h with a 250' radius of buildin If y ou have an q uestions or re additional information, please contact me at ( 651 ) 604-4815.
