Hi Kim,
Harry and I discussed this morning and we are going to move forward with contracting the additional year of
monitoring on the site per the IRT's request.
Glade II is not a credit release site so the site visit in the spring of 2021 will need to be separate from those
visits.
Melonie, just a heads up that Glade II will not close in 2021. We will move it back to 2022 as requested.
Harry, please make sure to update CRM and the critical activities this week per our discussion earlier. Since it
is not a credit release site, please also make sure that we post and forward the full MY5 report to the IRT so
they have the opportunity to review the report and information on the repair implemented.
Thanks

Good morning Paul and Harry
The IRT would like to wait, at least until later in the year, preferably Spring 2021 for a visit. Our intention is to
require an additional year of monitoring to make sure the repairs are stable. Another option would be to
provide some drone footage/360 video in the next few months and have a preliminary virtual review if you are
looking for concurrence on no additional monitoring. My guess is that we will want the additional monitoring
regardless. Just let me know if we need to set up a virtual review, otherwise we'll look forward to a visit in
spring.
Thanks
Kim

Kim, Erin, Mac and Todd;
DMS and Wildlands Engineering completed the proposed repairs on the Glade II site on April 25, 2020. The
site is a DMS design -bid -build (DBB) project instituted on July 13, 2007.
A memo documenting the project repairs is attached and includes a repair as -built plan sheet and photos.
This documentation will be included in the 2020 (MY5) report and is available on the IRT SharePoint page.
The memo has also been uploaded to the DWR Laserfiche site (5/20/2020) per your request:

Gentlemen, this is what I sent to the IRT yesterday. A few additional comments, we'll likely require at least one
additional year of monitoring and a site visit next year. We have a little concern about the approach to the
eroded hillside, proposing to cut trees and use only woody material. It seems to be more of a temporary fix
than long-term stabilization solution. I thought we had the discussion about the need for stone there? But
ultimately that's your call. One other comment regarding machine access to the site for repair, it would be
good to have an idea of the area of disturbance, and proposed replanting (and maybe this will provide an
opportunity to plant something other than alder on that site).
Thanks for following up,
Kim

I RT,
Wildlands will be doing a few small repairs on Glade II (recall our site visit last November). I assume we'll want
to require at least one additional year of monitoring. It's in MY4 currently, so this would be a good one to look
at next year after the repairs. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Kim

Hi Shawn
I spoke with Lin at DMS yesterday and he explained that you guys were planning 3 repairs on Glade 11. 1 was at
the site visit last November, and recall the need for the bank and headcut repairs. Since the original permit
was issued in 2013, it is expired and you can no longer perform the work under that permit. You may meet the
conditions for using a non -notifying NWP3, which would save time and documentation from the obtaining a
new permit verification. If so, please provide me a short adaptive management plan describing the repairs
with a map and include a cover letter verifying that you meet the conditions.
Keep in mind that Alleghany County contains trout waters and so a trout moratorium may apply. I have copied
Regional Condition 4.1 regarding notification in trout waters.
4.1 NWP #3 - Maintenance 4.1.1 In designated trout watersheds, a PCN is not required for impacts to a
maximum of 75 linear feet (150 linear feet for temporary dewatering) of streams and waterbodies when
conducting maintenance activities. Minor deviations in an existing structure's configuration, temporary
structures and temporary fills are authorized as part of the maintenance activity. In designated trout
watersheds, the permittee shall submit a PCN (see Regional Condition 2.7 and General Condition 32) to the
District Engineer prior to commencing the activity if; 1) impacts (other than temporary dewatering to work in
dry conditions) to streams or waterbodies exceed 75 linear feet; 2) temporary impacts to streams or
waterbodies associated with dewatering to work in dry conditions exceeds 150 linear feet; 3) the project will
involve impacts to wetlands; 4) the project involves the replacement of a bridge or spanning structure with a
culvert or nonspanning structure in waters of the United States; or 5) the activity will be constructed during
the trout waters moratorium (October 15 through April 15).
Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Kim
