In respanse to your memo of 26 J une 1986,

and
Water

is no pass ibil ity of

Trek If the des ign isdesign
ta
be dane b y our forces. In fact,
because o f the F i sher i es Department usua I estr i ct'ion about

that the wor k cau d even be done th i s year. it Is very unlikely

An alternative which yau might wish to consider
is the use
of an Eng i neer i ng consultant
to design the pI oject. The
advantage of using a consultant would
that he could take on
the pr oject immed iately and perhaps get beconstr
uction dane prior
to the PoCa Trek
In formation which wou d be useful to the
consultant in es. abl ish ing a fee for the design fal Iowa:
Because of the steepness of the bank
wi
require some
type of rata inlng structur e ta suppor tit the

As thi s structure wi
be within the wetted per imeter of
the I we', Fisheries approval
wi
be required.
Water ..:anagement Branch appravai is requir ed
The service of the wa k-way must be r es istant to er

A farm af protecti ve rai
