TE <br />IV <br />February 11, 2016 <br />FEB 12 2016 <br />KITTITAS COU TY <br />GDS <br />Kittitas County Community Development Services Department <br />Lindsey Ozbolt <br />411 North Ruby Street <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />RE: Palomino Fields Riparian Management Plan & Wetland Restoration <br />Dear Ms. Ozbolt <br />I would like to thank you and Doc Hansen for taking the time to discuss the <br />Palomino Fields project, specifically the bridge location with relationship to the <br />Category IV wetland as identified in the critical areas report for the project. <br />I have developed a riparian management plan that includes the wetland restoration <br />component due to the bridge abutment locale. With this letter I have included a <br />riparian plan that began back in 2007/08. Early on in this process we started <br />working with other agencies making improvements to Currier Creek for fish etc. <br />(siphoning project and fish barrier removal). Since then we have continuously <br />allowed agencies to access our land to conduct fish plantings almost every year to <br />Currier Creek. With the aforementioned in mind please accept these documents as <br />the Currier Creek Riparian management plan for Palomino Fields and the wetland <br />restoration aspect for the Palomino Fields Project. <br />With the 2016 irrigation season coming at us it is time sensitive for us to install the <br />bridge prior to the irrigation canal turning on. With that said and regarding the <br />bridge installment (single bridge abutment encroachment into the Category W <br />wetland), we respectfully request a specific review for this item as we have <br />tentatively schedule the bridge installment for the first part of March. <br />If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. <br />Best Regards, <br />Chad Bala, Authorized Agent <br />cc: Pat Deneen <br />LAND USE CONSULTANTS <br />
