Heather,
Please explain how you propose to construct your project including the installation of the retaining wall and
addition of earthen fill. Basically, I need an impact map/plan which indicates the stream, Zone,1 and Zone 2 in
relation to your house and a detailed drawing of the retaining wall including the height of the wall and length
in square'feet. Basically, I need a detailed drawing of exactly what will be built on your site.

Ms. Goss,
After receiving our Request for Additional Information and notification. that our application was on -hold, I was
uncertain exactly what additional information was needed. I, contacted Jeremiah Dow as instructed and he visited
our property just before the holidays. He indicated that what was needed was information on how our contractor
would mitigate any downstream effects .of the construction. Below is what our contractor would do to ensure minimal
runoff from the. project.
"We would install and maintain silt fence and silt fence outlets as required. We would also seed and install excelsior
matting on slopes adjacent to wall."
Please let me know if this satisfies the information request or if more detail is required.
Thank you,
Heather Gates

Please find responses toyour questions be|ovv
2

1) There are lots of overgrown, invasive plants along the stream banks. We will clean those out. As far as the
actual stream bed, we do not have any plans to alter that.
2) We have not made a final decision on material. There are still some factors we are unsure of, namely what is
allowed and cost. We were considering boulders with riprap and the standard concrete landscaping blocks. Please
let me know if there is a material we should not use.
3) Our retaining, structure will be approximately 65' long and 4-5' high (depending on ground elevation), for about
325 sqft. I had' eyeballed the length at 100' for our application, but we measured it today and it's :only about 65
feet. The,stream itself,varies from about 5' wide to about 3 feet. We will only be stabilizing one side of the stream.
4) I've attached a few pictures of our stream as well as an overview picture. showing the location where the other
pictures were taken.
Please let me know if you need any additional information or pictures.
Best Regards,
Heather Gates

Please outline in square feet on a map of the property for the referenced impacts i.e. how many square feet of
