He explained that the <br />next step is Phase III which will encompass engineering <br />guidelines, a major point map, drainage areas and ponds and an <br />explanation of the correlation of hydrology data. Wetlands and <br />ponds will be described and classified as to their intended <br />purpose. <br />Mr. Keehn explained that the final step will be to assemble all <br />the data collected and develop and complete the maps.

When all is completed <br />the City can then take over as the Local Government Unit (LGU) <br />from the RCWD. <br />Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Keehn if he was using the USDA for soil <br />studies. Mr. Keehn said that their background documentation is <br />good and it has the support of the federal government.
