Based on existing mapping data, as well as field observations completed by the County Erosion Control (EC) staff during an authorized inspection occurring in January of 2009, 6 water features were identified on the Site. EC staff identified a series of unconnected pools near the front portion of Tract One along with a stream/drainage way running through the northeastern portion of the property. EC staff further verified the presence of several streams and drainage ways on adjoining properties. As a result of these findings, the Planning Director and the Solid Waste Management Director recommended that a wetland delineation and a species inventory be performed N
