Hi, Sue. The proposal appears to be in line with what we would expect & what has
been discussed leading up to this point. I do agree with John that there should be
a commitment to minimize damage to the vegetation that will remain on the site, and
to repair tree damage that does occur. It is imperative that Condition 20 be
followed - that a supervising engineer be on the project to direct ALL tree removal
activities & access into the wetland area. Of course, whatever means are determined
on-site to be least impactful (swamp mats, swamp buggy, cutting & dragging, etc.)
should be utilized, and the conditions appear to reflect that.
If you find their response to John's recommendation about tree repair to be
acceptable, then I support providing assurance that DWQ is in agreement with the
plan as written, with the addition of the tree repair clause.
Let me know if I can be of any further support. Have a good weekend,
Tammy

the Conservation Easement (CE, Tracts A and B) within the new runway 23R Runway
Protection Zone (RPZ) once the CE boundaries have been surveyed (estimated for
completion in July). The contractor has also requested written assurance that
the agencies are in agreement with the conditions specified in the attached
Proposal. Would you please review the attached conditions, especially 10, 13,
14, 15, 17, and 22 and let me know if they are acceptable to USACE and DWQ. I

We would like to reiterate the importance of the health of the remaining trees within the conservation

Thanks John. I will inform you and Sue as soon as the pre-construction meeting
us scheduled. The following condition has been added to the tree removal
Contract:
"Sharpe Brothers subcontractor will cut damaged tree branches, as
directed in the field, from trees that are to remain standing at heights
from 0 to 7 ft above ground. Branches will not be cut at heights in
excess of 7 ft above ground."
If there is still significant damage in the upper reaches of the trees remaining
after removal activities, we will address then based on consultation with you.

Re: PTIA Tree removal from Conservation Easement
if
there is significant damage in the upper reaches of the remaining trees we
would require repair work for the health of these remaining trees.
Hopefully
the clearing will be clean and we will not have these concerns.

Conditions are reasonable. However, I would like a condition that the
contractor repair any damaged trees (i.e. remove broken limbs, paint
damaged
bark, etc.). Call me if you would like to discuss this.
