Sue,
I am including a link to the updated plan set that now includes the vegetation plans.
https://epr-tx.sha refi le.com/d-sbafb562056174d639e 11e874bd71f4ad
For the Cobb Creek Site (and other sites), where we can we will plant trees. However the goal of the project is to
stabilize the sewer infrastructure utilizing green techniques, but the sewer authority cannot allow trees to be planted
within 15 feet of their lines. Additionally, we are not planting the access areas with trees but with herbaceous cover.
We are not planning on pumping around for any of the sites due to drainage area size. Cobb Creek (Site 1, sheets 4 and
5) has a drainage area of 1.9 sq mi, Sandberry Creek (Site 2, sheet 6) has a drainage area of 8.4 sq mi, and the Yadkin
River (Site 3, sheet 7) is roughly 867 sq mi.
Please let me know if this information suffices or if I need to provide anything further. Thank you for patience in my
response.

Hi Emmett,
I wasn't able to tell from the application documents: do you intend to pump around the work at the Sandy Berry and
Cobb Creek sites? If not, can you please provide a justification for why that cannot be achieved.
i

Also, for the Cobb Creek site that ismostly forested, can you provide some details ordrawings showing where trees will
have to be removed and whether they will be replaced with tree plantings or remain in herbaceous vegetation in any
areas.
