I agree with Kim. It's a positive change. A revised 401 approval is not required for this modification. I saved the
docs you provided in the Laserfiche project folder. Thank you for reaching out.
Much appreciated,

Micky and Paul,
Thanks for letting us know about the change ahead of time. I've seen these used before for greenways and I
recall the one at Russell Gap. It's a much better option than a culvert for long-term stability and aquatic
passage. No problem for me.
Thanks
Kim

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Minor Construction Plan Modification Request: UT to Magness Creek Mitigation
Project (DMS#100081) - (SAW-2018-01759) (DWR#20181275) - Broad 03050105_Cleveland County
Casey, Erin, Kim, and Todd;
The UT to Magness Creek project in Cleveland County is scheduled to begin construction in mid -November/
early December 2021.
DMS and Baker are requesting that the IRT review a modification that Baker is planning for the originally
proposed, culverted, stream crossing on UT to Magness Creek. Baker is now planning to use a bridge crossing.
The proposed bridge crossing modification is located outside of the conservation easement and will not have
an effect on the project credits. Fence posts and fencing will be attached to the bridge to limit livestock access
to the bridge when crossing so they will not have access the creek.
Attached is a letter from Baker making the request, a copy of the modified plan sheet pages (2E & 8) and a
couple of photos of this type crossing from the Russell Gap Mitigation Project (DMS#100003).
Please review the attached information and let us know if you foresee any issue with this proposed project
crossing modification. If acceptable, Baker will capture this update in the post construction MY0 Record
Drawings which will be forwarded to the IRT for review once project construction and planting are complete.
Project information is as follows:
