DISCUSSION OF LATEST DRAFT OF MANAGEMENT PLAN
Mr. Hall had previously provided a draft of the Executive Summary to the Committee,
Mr. Cravens provided a handout with some suggestions as it relates to the summary.
The Committee agreed to make certain modifications and change some of the wording to
make it clearer and easier to understand. The five objectives were looked at one last time, and
minor wording changes were made for clarification. The area on dredging was refined and the
wording was changed in certain areas to better reflect the intent of the Committee as well as
improving the layout and continuity of the section.
As it relates to Chapter 3, Mr. Hall explained how he had organized it and the areas of
concentration, noting that most of the photographs would go into the appendix. The timeline
was discussed and agreed upon, as was the sequence of the topics to be included.
Mr. Hall noted that he hoped to have the changes made and the document finalized by the
following Friday, and it was noted that it needed to be as near to perfect as possible.
At Mr. Dorrill's suggestion, a copy would also be sent to the County Attorney's office.

approve the Clam Bay NRPA Management Plan 6.1 as modified today. The motion carried
unanimously.

DISCUSSION OF COPPER DATA FOR CLAM BAY AND BERM
A graph of copper levels from December was provided to the Committee members. It
was noted that the lab results were not received in a timely manner from the County's lab.

Committee discussed where the water samples have been obtained within the system.
Mr. Hall would revise the sample sheets, showing both the tabular and graphical
representations specific to copper and the locations where the samples were taken. Samples
taken adjacent to the berm would not be included.
The Committee also discussed determining whether or not equilibrium has been reached
in the sediment, and what can be done in either case.
