Notes

12/30/2020 3:23 PM System We did not report the performance measures in 2020 because we would like to establish the vegetation for one more year and perform more monitoring before reporting the performance measures.
01/12/2018 4:24 PM System Project costs are anticipated to rise substantially. Once project costs are clearly known the EIP tracker will be updated accordingly.
01/04/2017 3:36 PM System State Public Works Board approval in July 2016. 2016 costs associated with property due diligence efforts and state approval process.
