July 27 , 1995 <br /> Dewey George <br /> P.O. Box 1527 <br /> San Andreas , CA 95249 <br /> Sir: <br /> The proposed project is designed to remedy a situation that <br /> creates a situation of pollution, erosion , and last, but not <br /> least, personal injury . Most of this situation resulted from the <br /> high water flows in the Calaveras River during the flood <br /> conditions of 1986 . During this period the river changed courses <br /> into the north bank , eroded approximately 4 acres , and left a <br /> situation of vertical banks along the north side of the river and <br /> a new river channel aimed directly into the existing orchard . <br /> My request is to move the river back into the old channel <br /> to remove the threat of further erosion and to slope the existing <br /> banks to remove the threat of further erosion , such as what took <br /> place in 1986 with the loss of 3+ acres , and also the threat of <br /> personal injury. The plan that I am submitting is vital if I am <br /> to protect existing agricultural property from further erosion . <br /> I must have the excavation part of this project completed by <br /> Sept. 1 , 1995 if I am to avoid damage to my crop , or at the <br /> latest, by Dec. 1 , 1995 if I am to avoid further erosion as a <br /> result of the planned 100 , 000+ acre foot flood control release . <br /> The excavation material from the stream bank will be <br /> stockpiled on the northwest corner of the property and will be <br /> sold mostly into Calaveras County over a period of the next <br /> several years . <br /> Enclosed is a copy of the streambed alteration permit and <br /> also drawings of the proposed changes to the existing site . <br /> Please contact me for any additional information that you <br /> require . <br /> Sincerely , <br /> Dewey P. George <br />
