Please find attached a revised letter to stop “stream restorations” for your sign-on as an organization or individual. It is a revision of the letter you signed last fall that was put on hold.  </p>

The original letter was put on hold in order to work with the Montgomery Stormwater Partners Network (SWPN) to try to reach a consensus opinion with the larger environmental community. A consensus opinion has not yet been reached and more "stream restorations"
 are being planned. SWPN delivered comments on the draft Montgomery County MS4 permit - this permit dictates that stormwater control measures must be undertaken. As far as “stream restorations”, the SWPN comments presented the position that some of us oppose
 “stream restorations” while others do not – we are still at square one. </p>

At this point, I now feel compelled to make a stronger case against “stream restorations” directly to County Executive Elrich and Parks Director Riley.  </p>

This letter asks for the same thing as the previous letter: a temporary pause on “stream restorations” while all stakeholders discuss this complicated issue. This letter also adds comments about “stream restorations” done for mitigation purposes since Parks
 has now approved “stream restorations” to be done as mitigation projects for environmental damage from the proposed Beltway expansion – adding insult to injury, we will get both a wider Beltway and more destructive “stream restorations”. And, it adds comments
 about the soon-to-be-release Request for Proposal (RFP) in which the County will ask contractors to bid on stormwater control projects (including “stream restorations”). It is noteworthy that I was excluded from SWPN interactions with the County on this RFP.</p>
