Rhinehalt, Senior Environmental Scientist Mr. Rhinehalt commented upon the proposal submitted for services related to the wetland and stream mitigation monitoring for the State Route 91 proj ect. They submitted and obtained pemuts for the wetland stream associated with the State Route 91 project on behalf of the Village. A condition of those permits was to replace wetlands and streams that were affected by the project including the bike path. They completed on-site mitigation as well as sma11 isolated wetlands constructed on the North Chagrin Reservation. A condition of the plan is to provide five years of monitoring including field work and a report at the end of each year for a total of five years. Beginning within the last year, Ohio EPA has significantly increased the requirements of the monitoring including soil and water chemistry, vegetation and sampling. That in a nutshell is what URS has proposed to do. They could not anticipate the requirements at the time they originally proposed the project. It was not part of the scope of the work. Mr. Saponaro indicated that Mr. Rhinehalt came before the Finance Committee. He also explained to us that there are some new rules that are applicable, both Federal and Ohio which is a liitle more stringent. This would include two site visits per year and an annual report. After five years, URS will make sure that we have complied with everything and provide final approval. This is not only the waterfalls by the Hejcl property, but this is Beecher's Brook, the street by Progressive and more stringent monitoring of water and soil chemistry and vegetation density. These are all
