Josh explained the stormwater management system, stated the depth to G is 9 feet but that is based on paper data not the test pits or boring data; Applicant is sending us test pit boring logs and actual depth to GW.  We requested a detail of the infiltration system and to provide us with an O&M plan for the system these will also be in the Order of Conditions. The trench drains will go into the basin.

Described the purpose of the sand fence is create dunes, not defined boundaries.  We discussed the impacts to the coastal beach and endangered birds and their habitat. Kim discussed that the “path” that has been there for ages and that any fence will direct human traffic around the area thus creating a new “path” which will disturb vegetation and critical habitat.
