.l <br /> 14' <br /> w memorandum <br /> ' page 2 <br /> December 18, 1978 <br /> Any monitoring program could be integrated into the existing <br /> Inspections program which is based on geographic zones. The County has <br /> been broken into six zones for this purpose. See attachment <br /> It is recommended that should this monitoring program be established, <br /> that at least one additional staff member and a vehicle be assigned to the <br /> Erosion Control Division. Additional staff without sufficient transporta- <br /> tion would be of dubious worth. <br /> There follows a breakdown of each category of exempt activities, a <br /> decussion of the types of projects within each category, and a subjective <br /> assessment of the magnitude of erosion related problems ascribed to each <br /> type of activity. <br /> Sites Categories <br /> 7+ 1.
