Dear Mr. Johnson:
In response to you letter dated May 20, 2005 enclosed are our responses.
1. Attached are 3 full size and 20 11x17 copies requested topographical drawings.
These show the proposed road alignment and road cross- section.
2. We have completed a tree survey in the impacted area and found the following:
a. 1 green ash - 11" dbh
b. 0 black willow — (12" dbh, 10.5" dbh, 12" dbh, 0" dbh, 13" dbh, 10" dbh, 11"
dbh, 10" dbh, 14" dbh)
c. All the aspen in this area are diseased.
d. The two scotch pine to be removed are under 10 feet tall.
3. We are currently assessing the area impacted by this change as related to the
Wetlands Conservation Act. We will submit the determination at a later date.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
