As part of that game plan, I am writing you to summarize <br />the results of our last meeting and to confirm the approach approved in the meeting to <br />restore the CuUum’s wetland. Once you have reviewed this letter, we would like to have a <br />follow up discussion with you to ensure that our application to the Mirmehaha Creek <br />Witershed District (“MCWD*') includes your input and ultimately we hope to obtain your <br />support for our project. <br />To summarize the history of this proposed project, originally Li November of 2002, we <br />presented to a convened TEP a No Loss and Restoration project, which was denied by the <br />TEP due to disagreement over the application of the \(fetland Conservation Act Rules. A <br />year later, we have readdressed the issues that concerned the original TEP and met with the <br />Gty of Orono and the MCWD to create a project that supports the principals behind WCA <br />and establishes a higher functioning wetland and ecosystem for both vegetation and wildlife.
