Letter to Stacy K. Higa <br /> Page 2 <br /> July 22, 2005 <br /> 4. Many grading and grubbing permits are basically "walk-ins" that may be issued in <br /> a matter on minutes. Bill 23 does not address this possibility. According to the <br /> language of the Bill, an applicant may come to this Department to submit his <br /> application, go to his job site to put up his sign, return to this Department and <br /> certify that the sign was put up and pick up his permit and then return to the job <br /> site and take down the sign all which may occur in less than a few hours. <br /> 5. Requiring notification signs for grading and grubbing permits will give the public a <br /> false sense of involvement as Chapter 10 has no public involvement process. <br /> We could accept input but it will be of no value toward the issuance or denial of <br /> the permit. Consequently, it would be meaningless input that will probably not <br /> even be documented/recorded. <br /> 6. Grading permits do not cover agricultural activities regulated by Conservation <br /> Programs issued by the SWCD's. <br /> 7. Bulk of the problems relating to Chapter 10 is due to work being performed <br /> without a permit. Consequently, Bill 23 will not help alleviate this problem. <br /> <br /> BRUCE C. MCCLURE, P.E. <br /> <br /> Director <br /> <br />
