Dear Ms. Eklov:
The Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) conducted a site visit on January 18, 2005 and observed that
wetland fill has still not been removed from the wetland area in the northwest corner of the site. The fill
material was placed within the delineated wetland boundary and inside the silt fence that was installed
during mass grading operations in September 2004. It appears that the wetland fill occurred along the
south and east sides of the wetland. A site visit by two of the TEP members occurred on September 17,
2004. At that time, both Hedlund Engineering and Svoboda were informed that wetland filling had
occurred at these locations prior to approval of the wetland replacement plan for the site. Since that time,
Gold Key Development has withdrawn their wetland replacement application and submitted a "No-Loss"
Certification Application. The certification has been approved; however, the wetland fill must be removed
immediately or a cease and desist order will be issued.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
