Ms. Kerry Sullivan <br /> March 1, 1991 <br /> Page 2 <br /> ■ Jones& Stokes Associates has demonstrated expertise in biological resources and <br /> restoration projects. Many issues surrounding the project relate to agency <br /> concerns about vegetation types, wetlands, fragmentation of habitats, alteration <br /> of drainage patterns, and interruption of wildlife migration corridors. Dan Airola <br /> and Tim Messick have extensive experience in state and federal regulations and <br /> agency concerns. Also, Jim Estep is very familiar with wildlife issues in San <br /> Joaquin County and is a recognized expert on raptors. <br /> ■ Water availability and water quality have been identified as a issue of concern. <br /> Gus Yates and Mike Zanoli are both experienced in determining groundwater <br /> availability, assessing water use, and analyzing existing and future water quality <br /> issues. Mr. Zanoli recently attended a wetlandbiogeochemistry symposium that <br /> discussed water and soil chemical interactions that are likely to occur given the <br /> wetland systems on the Buckeye Ranch project site. <br /> ■ Peak & Associates is experienced in documenting cultural resources and <br /> developing feasible and practical mitigation measures acceptable to agency staff <br /> and developers. Because of the high number of sensitive cultural resource sites <br /> and disturbed condition at various sites, cultural resources will prove to be a <br /> challenging aspect to this project. <br /> ■ Kleinfelder is extremely familiar with the county's requirements for septic <br /> suitability studies. <br /> ■ Jones & Stokes Associates is not under contract with the applicant for any work. <br /> We are, however, working with several private developers and the City of <br /> Stockton on projects throughout San Joaquin County. If desired, we can provide <br /> the county with a listing of these projects. <br /> Jones & Stokes Associates is eager to work with the county on this challenging <br /> project. We recognize that this scope of work will need to be revised after all the comments <br /> are received on the notice of preparation of an EIR and we welcome the opportunity to <br /> refine the scope of work and cost estimate to meet the county's needs. We look forward <br /> to continuing our positive working relationship with the county. <br />
