Re: Banner Cascade Pipeline Project – Restoration Specifications

Dear Property Owner/Resident:

As part of our restoration for the Banner Cascade Pipeline Project, the District plans on replacing trees and landscaping that are affected by the construction.

You are invited to a meeting to discuss our approach for tree and vegetation restoration that will be held on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 , from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the Nevada County Horsemen Club located at Bubbling Wells Road and Brunswick Road .

This meeting will be similar to previous workshops in that it will be an informal open house which will give property owners an opportunity to review the restoration plans and specifications and provide input and/or get clarification from the District.

We have also attached these specifications and plans to this letter for your information and review.

Sincerely,

Adrian Schneider, P.E.
Senior Project Engineer
