AD @nnlng Depan t I received your letter of August 19, 1981, indicating that we should submit engineering drawings of the proposed 40' x 100' hatchery building that would be located adjacent to the culture tanks, to be constructed as permitted by Resolution No. 1778 which approved CUP-194; so that you and your Staff can determine if this can be accomplished through an amendment to the approved CUP or will require 2 new application. The approved CUP provides for the expansion o the aquaciil ture research faci 1 i ty adjacent fifty circular fish culture tanks, a seawater delivery system, and perimeter fencing and landscaping. ment of techniques for controlled reproduction. Broodstock wi 11 be maintained in tanks where environmental conditions, i .e. water temperature, photoperiod, etc., can be controlled to regulate spawning. In addition, the systems used to incubate fertilized eggs and for rearing the larval stages require some degree of environmental control. This faci 1 i ty wi 11 contain a small analyti cal 1 aboratory for moni tori ng water qual i ty and disease control.

This design is practical for the proposed use since it can be erected and disassembled easily and is relatively inexpensive. These buildings are available in a variety of shapes and configurations. These structures can be made to be aesthetically pleasing with the selection of the appropriate exterior color and texture, the placement of windows and doors, and the use of perimeter fencing and landscaping. If this style is unacceptable, a precast concrete building could be used, but would be more expensive and more difficult to disassemble. I have enclosed copies of information available from a few of the local manufacturers. The original proposal for the construction of the culture tanks was unanimously approved by the Coastal Commission. A Coast Development Permit will be issued when we submit our diagram for perimeter landscaping with native plant^ species. We have postponed submitting this plan until we have determined the requi rements for the proposed hatchery bui 1 di ng addition. same time. The landscaping and hatchery can thereby be evaluated at the I appreciate your consideration of our request to amend the approved CUP to include this essential support facility. James M.
