JHH:ag 5/2180 · . February 11, 1981 J. Dale Hawley Director of Public Works City of Bakersfield 1501 Truxtun Ave. Bakersfield, Ca. 93301 RE: Agreement No. 80-41 W.B. Dear Dale: We hereby request an extension of time on subject Agreement to March 31, 1981. There was a delay in starting the study to obtain definition from the Water Board as to scope, so that there would not be a conflict between this study and existing preparations. The study, as now defined, will concentrate oh the reach of the Kern River, upstream of the west line of .Section 1, T30S, R26E, to Manor Street, and for this area, will be in more detail than previously anticipated.
