The consultant should hold pre-application meetings with the regulatory agencies to determine if multiple pipes could be combined into a single permit, especially when pipes are in the same watershed or creek drainage area. 3. Mitigation planting should be avoided and if mitigation is required, the City has established a San Pablo Creek Restoration Fund for which in lieu mitigation payments may be made. 4.
