has been determined to -be necessary by the Water Committee.

Grading Permit Policy Clarification
Continued - Page Two
2 . The Fish and Wildlife Committee and Water Committee have some
concerns in regard to disturbance of wetland areas on Winter
Island as a result of a proposed levee rehabilitation project.
The Water Committee recommends that these concerns, including
the proposed revegetation plan, be transmitted to appropriate
agencies.
3 . The Water Committee has recommended that cities and LAFCO be
informed of wetland policy contained in the General Plan, for
possible incorporation to establish consistency throughout the
County to the extent possible. The Water Committee also wishes
to communicate to the other agencies the proposed wetlands
ordinance which will be formulated later this year, and to
request comments for such an ordinance.
4. Helicopter training exercises are traditionally conducted in
open space areas, and/or wetlands. As helicopter training
program site alternatives are currently being evaluated, the
Water Committee requests input from the Fish and Wildlife
Committee on the impacts to wildlife.
