The district is waiting for the archeologist’s revised plan. It has not been received as yet. He is working with the FS archeologist who has to review the material from the DOH. He is hoping that they will not require additional field work to be done, but if they do, it would have to wait until the snow is gone. As soon as he hears something he can finalize the plan.
Commissioner Klasell discussed the water right transfer that our attorneys are working on. This is what Marc Marquis sent in an email:
As you are aware, we are in the process of completing several water changes for the District. The purpose of these changes is to conform the 8 individual water rights to the service area of the water district. One final item for these changes involves integrating the conclusions from a hydrogeological report which concerns the hydraulic connectivity of the separate water supplies. We’ve been waiting on this report for a few months now. I received this report during the first part of January and spent a few hours updating all our water change documents. These changes are now complete and I will present them to the Chelan County Water Conservancy next Thursday for review and hopefully approval. Once approved, the Board will forward the documents on to DOE for further review. With any luck, we should have our final answer around June. Please let me know if you have additional questions.
