The County Surveyor has reviewed and approved the revised legal description. We have included the legal description with the Grant of Easement which you have coordinated with Donna Dawkins of our Real Property Division. The Real Property Division has prepared the required board documents to accompany the Grant of Easement which we anticipate will go before the Board of Supervisors as a consent item on October 1, 1996. The installation of the overhead electrical facilities requires a Flood Control permit for encroachment into our right of way. The District has not yet received an application from PG & E for a Flood Control permit. Our normal"turn-around" for review of permit applications is three weeks. Please call me at 313-2327 when you submit the application so that we can expedite issuance of the permit. If you have any questions regarding the permit, you may call me or John Capozzo, Permit Technician at 646-1607. Very truly yours, L� n Mary D.
