RE: KARSTON COVE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE:
Dear Mr. Powell:
As requested. on Friday May 22. 1998 personnel from our office made an on-site review of the
wetland delineation for the above mentioned site. This on-site review has resulted in the following
comments and concerns.
Since the delineation was conducted over three years ago there were no wetland delineation stakes
remaining. We then used the delineation maps submitted with the request and attempted to match
the approximated wetland delineation with the on-site conditions. What we concluded was the
delineation appeared to be fairly accurate however. not to the accuracy needed to complete a
wetland replacement plan application. There were some small areas of concern which arose when
we conducted our on-site review. The area identified as basin K appeared to be larger than what
was delineated on the maps submitted to this office. Also. the three small wetlands in the middle of
the parcel. basins O-P-Q-appeared to be connected. and not separate basins as shown on the
submitted maps. Although these minor discrepancies arose from the on-site review. it is impossible
to accurately assess the delineation without the presence of the delineation stakes. I would like to
give you an opportunity to have the original delineation restaked and reviewed by this office. and if
approved. a survey of the newly staked areas oould then be completed.
Please feel free to contact this office if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
Sincerely.
