III. MISCELLANEOUS
Ryan Larsen provided an update to the Committee regarding the 2010 Small Drainage Program. Only
design and permitting will be conducted on 2010 Small Drainage Projects, and construction will move
forward in 2011. This delay is largely due to the need for Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) through
National Marine Fisheries Service which requires project construction between June and September in
order to avoid the disruption of salmon.
Meeting adjourned at 6:14 p.m.
