Completed
I don't have any Section 7 issues with this project. However, it seems like going from a 35' bridge opening to a
24' total culvert opening is a significant constriction. Based on my limited knowledge of the project, I believe it
would reduce the habitat value for both aquatic and terrestrial passage. I haven't seen the site, so I will defer to
the other agencies.

Nicole,
Pm confused in multiple ways. Your cover letter says the bridge to be replaced is 17' 8" long. Another
document says it is 35' long. Did you mean two spans at 17' 8" for a total of 35'?
Your cover letter says the replacement culvert is 2@12' x 7'. The bridge-to-culvert justification document says
the replacement culvert is 24' x 6'. Which is it?
Although I am fine with the No Effect biological conclusion for listed species, the referenced email chain does
not include Bridge No. 209.
