Subject: questions on Mayfair Glen Lowhead Dam Removal
Hi Joel,
I'm reviewing the Mayfair Glen Lowhead Dam Removal project. Can you answer a few questions for me?
They are--
1. The rock vane detail appears to specify the use of three layers of smaller rock. I'm concerned about
structural stability. Can you clarify if this is the case and what size rock you will be using?
2. Can you provide a plan view drawing, showing what is currently on the ground and shows all work to
be done, including area of excavation, structures, bank sloping, geolifts, and planting?
3. You note that livestakes and native riparian seed mix will be used for areas below 2 times the bankfull
elevation and 20 ft out from the stream. This is a bit confusing. Do you mean that you will plant a 20'
buffer on each side?
4. Can you provide a plant specification sheet? What you have provided names the temporary and
permanent seed only, not the Ernst seed mix specs nor the livestake species described in the text. The
permanent seed specified in the plan set is fescue and Bermuda grass, neither of which should be
planted in the riparian zone due to their invasive character.
5. How will you stabilize the area upstream of the dam that will be excavated?

Thank you,
Andrea
