Lanulcs: <br /> In response to your requcst. to have our Department revieti this project (1 ) , <br /> I went out carlici• this �iee4; to investigite Qeverly Lake and the project <br /> �.rea. <br /> t4y rnrtonents follow: <br /> The nort!ieast portion of the Le�•e contains a marsh area �vhich included sueh <br /> plants as water lilies, emergent 9rasses, bullrushes, Hardtach (Spirea nouglasii), <br /> Sitka �lder (Alnus sinuat_a) , and ?remblirg Aspen (Popu_1_�is trr_muloides . I also <br /> spotted five species of ducks includin9 buffleheads, rt�dy«ficks, inaTlards, <br /> cinnamon teal , and sculps. Also, coots, nesting red winged blacl:birds, violet <br /> green swall;.�is, harn s�;allo��is, crows, !•obins, and turtles sunning themselves in <br /> the ai'ea to be dredgcd. <br /> As you can sce, this Lake supports a large variety of plants and animals, and <br /> they are all interdependent nn each other. If one ai�ea is dred9ed or filled, <br /> especially a marsh area, wildlife will be advei�sely affected by the destruction <br /> of an impo�•tant dild �1'0(IUCt1VC part of its habitat. <br /> We are also concerned wiCh surface �•rater ivnoff carryin9 silt and petrochemicals <br /> intio the Lake durinq and after const�•uction. lde would su99est storm water deten- <br /> tion pcnds with silL and grease traps installed and cleaned frequently. A vegeta- <br /> tive buffer sti•ip should be left undisturbed along the Lake edgc to further prevent <br /> erosion and sediment from entcrin9 the Lake. <br /> We would suggc�;t that thc project plans I�e altcred so the marsh areas will be left <br /> in ils nat�n-�il state so �is tn continue to benefit ��iildlife and fish. <br /> -,-:r � <br />
