EXHIBIT k LIFE SCIENCE!, INC. cnvironmental Consultation So Restoration Services October 81 2009 Brian Lee Engineering Department 1017 Middleneld Road Redwood City, CA94063 RE: Redwood Shores- Loon -Widgeon Grass Monitoring Dear Mr. Lee: I hope this is not to late for your review. I have ill with the flu and away from my computer.. You asked me to describe Life Science!ls experience monitoring plants populations in wetlands. We performed: The wetland delineations required for the South Bay Initial Stewardship project) The wetlands delineations for the Bair Island Restoration Project} Wetlands delineation for the Fenna Yard in Redwood city. We are quite experienced describing wetlands plant communities in the San Francisco Bay. After reviewing the Corps Requirements and Discussions with NOAA, we propose the follwing approach to the delineation project: Using a shallow draft boat complete a reconnaissance sUlVey of the dredging area. Areas of dense wideon grass would be marked on a scaled topomap using a GPS. Areas of wideon grass would surveyed using a four-point scale. Following the initial survey, density of widgeon grass in representative patches would be quantified by transects through the patches. At least 100 transects would me characterized. Additionally; we would characterize wideon grass in areas thatW'ould not be impacted by dredging. This would allow us the compare the impacted populations to undisturbed populations. .r.' . :, ,:: " '. . I : I . ,'t. ,....
