Thanks Dave for the quick response! Since the temporary nor permanent impacts aren’t changing, can we send in
revised plans instead of a formal modification?

I have no objections to the change; only request a formal permit modification. Let me know if you need
anything further.

Thanks.

Subject: Brown Road pipe replacement Stokes

Dave and Nicholle,

We have written 404 and 401 permits for the replacement of 2 lines of 98”x72” CMPA with 4’ in between the pipe (Total
of 192”). We have had the road closed since flooding damages caused a pipe failure on February 6, 2020. Prior to the
failure of the pipe, the plan was to replace with a 2 barrel 8’X7’ reinforced concrete box culvert that was going to be let
to contract. However, now our Bridge Maintenance forces are going to handle the replacement. Our Bridge
Maintenance Engineer has found that switching to a 20’-6” span x 7’-3” rise Aluminum Box Culvert will be more
economical and quicker to install. He is in discussions with the pipe company to have the pipe fabricated with one foot
baffles on a single side to maintain a low flow channel inside the pipe. Prior to giving him the ok to proceed with the
cost, I wanted to run it by you and see if you had any objections. Page 5 and 6 of the attached quote are shop drawings
of what the pipe will look like. Also attached is a picture of the flooding that damaged the pipe. The last pdf is a copy of
pipe inspection report which has pictures of what the pipe looked like under normal conditions.

This is a time sensitive matter, so please respond as soon as possible. Thanks so much!

For reference the DWR permit number is 2019-0749 and the USACE Action ID is 2019-01013.
