Please give a brief project description below.
The project will involve removing a 10-foot tall dam to remove an
impoundment on a 400-LF reach of Big Creek near its headwaters.
The dam outlet structure failed earlier in 2020 and the owner would
prefer to remove the dam rather than repair the outlet structure. He
would like to extend an existing 48-inch culvert at the inlet to the pond
by 50 LF as a tradeoff for removing the dam and outlet culvert.

Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
1 /8/2021
1 /15/2021
Please attach the documentation you would like to have the meeting about.
