Devaris Regional Director U.S. Geological Survey 4210 University Drive Anchorage, Alaska 907-786-7091 Williams, Dee <dmwilliams@usgs.gov> To: "Devaris, Aimee" <adevaris@usgs.gov> Wed, Jun 14, 2017 at 11:36 AM Thanks for sending. If they are open to suggestions, I think the planning document would be more persuasive if they provide an appendix that explains some of their estimated cost categories for each option. Nothing too detailed, just broad categories of expenses such as contracting, USGS fieldwork, DNR support, logistical support (to demonstrate that costs are not tied up in USGS salary).
