By January 4, ,please complete the Public Comment Survey about how the Watershed should be managed.  Click on this;   Public Comment Survey.,  Public Comments are due to the Board by January 11.

Arch Cape Water District Rate Payer (those with a water hook-up) or Property Owners (those without a water hookup) can submit up to 2 surveys per household  

BACKGROUND

To comply with its contractual obligations for the Forest Legacy Program grant, the Arch Cape Water Board is required to approved a Multi-Resource Management Plan for the Watershed that, among other things, defines how public access and logging will be managed in the Watershed.  The Board has developed the Management Plan and has posted it for public comment.   

This is the Community’s opportunity to weigh in and provide Public Comments on how the Watershed will be managed.

This purpose of this community survey is to capture the preference and comments of Arch Cape Water District rate payers and lot owners on that Management Plan for the Watershed, in regards to:

1) The areas of the Watershed where public access and recreation can take place – the entire Watershed or only OUTSIDE of the Source Water Protection Area.

2) The recreational activities that will be allowed in that area.

3) The financial plan, with or without logging,  for operating the Watershed in accordance with this Management Plan.

4) Specific comments respondents want to have forwarded to the Board regarding this Management Plan

A link to the survey can also be found at www.archcapeforestconversations.com   in the upper right hand corner highlighted in yellow

Everyone is encouraged to complete the survey so that it is most representative of the  preferences of the owners of the Watershed.  Public Comments will be drafted that reflect these responses.

Thanks
