that the original acreage

The first area is located
on the northeastern boun

wetland site includes what
is believed to be one of the
few white aspen groves on
the west side of Mt Hood
The second site com-
p ises an estimated six
acres at the development *
southern extremities This
wetland borders land ad
ministered by the U S
Bureau of Land Manage
ment, where a large pond
exists
In a recent interview
M arilyn Leslie, a CPO
representative for the Lolo
Pass Zig Zag area, ques
tioned the authority of the
county in reducing the
acreage of the wetland
Leslie, who is also a
m em b er of the E n
vironmental Committee On
Suitability, the organiza
tion that initially identified
the a re a as having
wetlands, said the county’s
actions was a violation of
the state land use goals,
which require citizen input
She said the area R ELF
has proposed to develop
was discussed at great
lengths the past six months
during the updating of the
Mt Hood Community Plan,
which mandates citizen in
put During the course of
that process, an estimated
19 acres was identified as
having noticeable standing
water
The map finally drawn
by the planning staff,
which designates the 19
acres as wetlands, was far
from being satisfactory,
said Leslie She said it did
not identify the wetlands’
"recharge” area, which is
equally as important as
identifying ponds, marshes
or bogs
L e s lie said H aro ld
Winegar of Prineville, a
consulting biologist for
ECOS, recognized the im
portance of this area's
wetlands
Winegar, according to
Leslie, considered the
areas surrounding the stan
ding water of wetlands to
be of equal value and worth
preserving
These recharge areas
are important because they
discharge water into the
wetlands "on a timely
basis" throughout the year,
said Leslie
In addition, this water
filters through the soil
underground, said Leslie,
and provides the necessary
moisture for plant life, as
well as helping maintain
water levels in areas of
standing water and in near
by creeks and rivers
According to Leslie, dur
ing the public hearing pro
cess the planning staff had
been requested to submit
the criteria they used to
designate wetlands They
didn't provide this informa
tion, she said.
Now that the plan has
been revised, and it’s too
late for further public com
ment, they've changed the
wetland designations for
Brightwood Glen
"It's a typical insult and
affront by the county
government of goal one
(citizen input) violations,"
said Leslie
Leslie also charged that
the planning staff's new
wetland designation for the
Brightwood Glen area was
done with the assistance of
a consultant, Ken Bierly,
who works
lo r
the
developers

Bierly, a wetland and
waterway resource consul
tant and owner of Bierly &
Associates Inc , in May of
1981 conducted a study for
R ELF The study is an im
pact analysis of the affects
the development will have
on the site This includes
the impact on wetlands and
on a winter range for black-
tailed deer
On July 7 Gary Cook,
natural resource planner
for the Department of En
vironmental Services, ac
companied Bierly on a site
investigation During the
course of th e ir jo in t-
investigation, the boun
daries of the wetlands were
changed
Both p arties
reportedly were able to
agree on the location, size
and boundaries of the
wetlands
According to McClain's
le tte r, B ie rly w ill be

depicting the wetlands
Leslie said Bierlys role
definitely constitutes a con
flict of interest She said it
is obvious that Bierly is on
