work that will be completed by the district. Additional language regarding implementation of this credit system <br />and how it works is encouraged. <br />22. Section 4.2.5 Water Quality Grant Program: Chloride and other emerging contaminants should be mentioned. <br />23. Section 4.2.13. Permit Review, Inspection and Coordination: The estimated cost of this program ($900,000 to <br />$1,250,000) is significant. This cost would undoubtedly be even higher if this District performed this service <br />within the City of Hugo. For the most part, the City of Hugo doesn't use this service, and therefore benefits very <br />little from it, however, the City's taxpayers still pay for it. We encourage the District to evaluate the cost <br />recovery methods for implementation of this expensive program. The District should also evaluate how to <br />expand the successful Hugo model to other cities, further reducing costs. It may be beneficial to apply the <br />philosophy the District uses for projects to programs. When the District implements projects, it uses ad <br />valorem revenue for projects when benefits are shared District -wide. When benefits accrue locally, the cost is <br />borne locally. <br />24. Table 4-3 Implementation Table: Item 14 list cities as partners in maintaining District facilities. Provide <br />additional detail on how cities are to be partners in maintaining District owned facilities. <br />25. Table 4-3 Implementation Table Items 71-87: Please list which Cities each of the projects is located in and to <br />what aspect the cities will be involved in the project. <br />26. Appendix H List of City Projects: Projects listed in Hugo's Implementation Table from the WRMP are missing <br />from this list. These projects include Hardwood Creek Lateral Channel Treatment Basins (#57 from Hugo WRMP <br />table) and Hardwood Creek Streambank Stabilization (#54-57). Please provide clarification on why these <br />projects were not included in Appendix H. <br />Thank you for your cooperation.
