Send all suspicious email as an attachment to report.spam@nc.gov<maiIto: report.spam@nc.gov> Dave: Attached are Minutes (minus attachments due to file size) from the Pre -Construction Meeting held on 8/8/2019 for the referenced Department of the Army Permit. Jacobs CH2M's Matt Wright described the on-site and adjacent jurisdictional resources permitted to be impacted and those to be protected. Per the revised 404 Agenda, MICHAEL BAKER'S Terry Burhans conveyed the Corps' concerns for off-site sediment loss and turbidity in downstream waters and requested the contractors pay close attention to the water entering the downstream aquatic resources from the work area to ensure that all water quality standards are being met. Terry then summarized each of the applicable 404 and 401 Permit conditions and clarified the availability of the Permits and requirement for on-site access. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments regarding PTAA compliance with Permit conditions. Thanks.

Optimum moisture content requirements are +4%, -3%. Testing should be done soon before installing a new lift. There should not be a long delay between testing and installing a new lift, and retesting should be done if there has been inclement weather since the last test. Kessel will notify contractor of failing tests immediately and will submit documentation daily or weekly. If moisture is a major issue, Kessel will notify Jacobs and recommend exploring alternate methods. Both Kessel and ECS are using nuclear gauges. Both parties should use the same proctors, soil samples, etc. QC/QA may present a weekly tabular summary instead of a daily report. d. Utility Adjustment — Section 01001 e.

During winter, excess moisture may be a problem. Is the use of lime allowed? The decision will need to be made at a later date. Are there any existing survey control points? Jacobs will provide control points that were used for the aerial survey. Question: While draining EP -4, after EP -3 is drained, is it permitted to start logging the individual trees in the area, and install check dams in the empty bed of EP -3? Grubbing activity would occur after SB -1 is constructed. Answer: Submit an RFI including a drawing markup specifying the disturbance and erosion control methods proposed.

The dewatering plan you submitted appears reasonable; however, please pay close attention to the water entering the downstream aquatic resources from your work area to ensure that all water quality standards are being met. ...If specific issues arise at the meeting that concern the Corps' permit or aquatic resources, please let me [David Bailey] know." 404 Permit General Conditions 1.
