accordance with the following comments:
1. Provide proof that your company has obtained the buffer authorization from the
Division of Water Resources for impacts to the buffer from the access road and
fencing.
2. Provide details on the installation of the arch culvert installation and the work
across the stream to prevent sedimentation during installation and construction.
3. Show the sediment, basin baffle placement on the plans indicative of field
conditions. Proper baffle placement in the basins affects the desired volume
between baffles and allows access for maintenance.
4. Please re -contact the 20 well owners that did not respond to your company's well
survey and obtain the well survey data provided for most wells within the zone of
influence. Please detail in your written response your efforts to contact these
well owners.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
