I will not be able to attend but wanted to submit some information for <br />consideration by the commissioners and staff as comments are prepared by the county.. <br />Enclosed please find a copy of comments submitted to the Environmental Management <br />Commission ( EMC) on behalf of the non--profit Agricultural Resources Center and the citizens <br />group Protect Our Water. <br />We believe it is important for Orange County, which has done so much to protect its water <br />supplies, to comment to the EMC on their proposed revisions to watershed protec-tion rules and on <br />the proposed classifications for local watersheds. We are pleased that the county is planning to do <br />so. We hope that the comments will offer strong support for the rules and for the classifications <br />proposed for the county's watersheds. <br />I understand that the deadline for comments has been extended by the state to October 31 , <br />I would appreciate it if you would share this letter and these comments with the <br />Commissioners. Please don't hesitate to contact me if there are any questions or if I can be of <br />further assistano~.
