RE; Comments for Canyon Springs RDEIR
Dear Denyelle ,
The following are comments and concerns regarding the adequacy of the RDEIR for the proposed Canyon Springs housing
development:
Beginning on page 2 -3 the revised draft touches on the subject of "Drainage and Grading ". The revised draft fails to
address the problems of increased sedimentation that will unquestionably result from this development. Increased sediment
in the Glenshire pond, as a result of the Canyon Springs development, could easily create a "nutritive state" in the pond. In
a "nutritive state" the resulting lack of oxygen would lead to a massive die -off of the entire fish population in the pond. The
ensuing stench would necessitate an extensive and costly clean-up. In mitigation of this threat on -going monitoring should be
paid for by the Canyon Springs developers . Any clean-up in the pond should also be paid for by the same developers.
Exact funding contingencies need to be spelled -out as well as exact year -round monitoring procedures. Durable sediment
traps spanning the complete width of the floodplain should be positioned just above the Glenshire pond and just upstream
of the Glenshire Drive culverts in die same drainage.
Thank you for allownig me to address my concerns regarding the RDEIR for Canyon Springs.
