Comment: This was a follow-up inspection to observe in-stream work related to old bridge bent removal. We allow
the excavator to enter the stream and pluck the bents out instead of building causeways for the
equipment to sit on. Causeway construction creates turbidity and has the potential to damage sensitive
aquatics. In this case, due to solid bedrock channel and shallow water, equipment was allowed to enter
and conduct the operation. The whole affair took less than three hours. A turbidity curtain was
deployed but due to a lack of stream depth, it did not perform well. There was only minor turbidness an
it was related to instream sediments.
