The deposition of spoils below the OHW will reduce the capacity of the <br />wetland to store stormwater runoff. <br />2. The deposition of spoils below the OHW will reduce the surface area of <br />emergent wetland vegetation and thereby reduce the wetland's ability to <br />assimilate nutrients from stormwater runoff. <br />Prior to any further review by the District, the plan shall be revised to <br />indicate the disposal of dredging spoils will be placed in an upland area 50 <br />feet from the wetland edge and diked to prevent the return of sediment to the <br />wetland basin. <br />Should you have any questions or problems, please advise. <br />Very truly yours, <br />EUGENE A. HICKOK AND ASSOCIATES <br />Engineers for the District <br />it <br />Cl i f d Reep <br />cc: b&. Mabusth, City of Orono <br />J.
