         Monitoring Program

      2. Reassessment of the natural and sewage treatment flows within the western branch

         unchanged from the original decisions.

      3. Expand the Burgess Creek Monitoring Program to include monitoring of the weeds
         within the creek and creek banks of Burgess Creek.

         they overflow.
