In the Master Agreement with <br />American SpiralWeld, the PEDC is to mitigate all the Wetlands on the north end of the properly next to the <br />old Superior Switch building. An assessment was done and a game plan is being formulated to bring to the <br />Corp of Engineers in the Tulsa District, The PEDC was looking at significant costs related to the purchase of <br />credits to offset the costs of the mitigation of the Wetlands. Berg Oliver suggested looking at current <br />properties that the PEDC or the City owned to offset some of the costs of the mitigation. By using the PEDC <br />property that is already in a flood plain we would cut our costs of buying credits in half.
