Mr. Brown,
Greetings, I hope that you've been well and staying safe and healthy. I am writing to you with the next official response
from the Bartlett's regarding the requested impact summary table & map, as well as the JD submittal. Attached is an
official letter of response that contains a summary of the site impacts and a corresponding map depicting these
locations. Although there was discussion of also submitting a plan for restoration at at least one of the culverted
locations, Mr. Bartlett has had difficulties with finding a firm with which to work. He has recently begun discussions
with a design/engineering firm, but they are awaiting the JD submittal and verification before signing a contract with
him. That said, I believe that the next steps will involve agency review of the submitted information followed by an
onsite visit to satisfy the JD verification as well as to discuss onsite remediation/mitigation options that may be required;
information from that meeting can then be fed into the discussions with the design/engineering firm. Please let me
know your thoughts on the proposed next steps and we can schedule accordingly.
Thank you again for your continued patience throughout this challenging process. We look forward to continuing our
march toward a resolution!
