Andrew,
Please consider the following submission of requested additional information:
1) The purpose of the unauthorized fill placement activities was to create a building pad for overnight rental units. The
7 rental units are prefabricated 8' x 12' wooden utility sheds. The prefabricated 8' x 16' shed is to be utilized as a
restroom. This unit has a plumbing system with an approved septic drainfield located on another portion of the
property. Please refer to the attached Land Use Map (G4).
2) The culvert does appear to have proper placement for aquatic organism passage. These mechanisms include: No
vertical drop at outlet; sufficient pool depth at outlet; sufficient depth; non -excessive velocity and
turbulence. Please refer to the attached photos.
Thanks!
