Subject: RE: Creek Permit for Ridgemont Basin

Hi Mark,

Lesley is out until August 22.  I do know that a creek protection permit was issued for the work you are referring to.  I will have to look into whether there were any special conditions other than the standard conditions.  I will also see if I can find out anything about whether the applicant contacted Fish and Game.  Usually that is the responsibility of the applicant not the City.

Leslie,

Perhaps you have been out of town but since I hadn't heard back from you
I'll risk being a pest and repeat my question from my email on 7/27/05:

I noticed that construction work in the Ridgemont Basin that was previously
stopped to determine if a Creek Protection Permit would be needed has
resumed.

It is my understanding that the City determined that a Creek Protection
Permit was needed for that work.

Was a permit obtained by the contractors and what are the restrictions and
guidelines for that permit? And was Fish and Game contacted in relation to
this work?

Thank you very much.

Mark
