Hi Kim!
No crossing planned at the top of CT-3. That was where it was requested that we move this
crossing; however, it's not useful to the landowner/farmer because of the easement width
and turning, so we do not have a plan to install one there. We will tie it into the stream
above. We tried to get that upstream landowner several times and could not engage them.
On the top of CT-3 to tie it in and ensure stability we will use an extra large/deep pool to
mitigate sediment from upstream. We are planning to grade and mat banks as well. Thank
you!

Thanks for the explanation, Katie. I understand the challenges in dealing with agricultural producers,
but it doesn't give me much confidence that the crossing will remain in good condition once the site
is transferred to long term stewardship given the condition of the current crossings on site.
Encroachments are also a big concern on this project, especially if equipment maneuverability is
challenging. I'm fine with moving forward with the crossing where it is and being external, given your
explanation, because it's the only crossing that I recall being onsite.
I do have a question about CT-3 (I think, I'm going from memory); are you planning a crossing at the
top of that reach since the channel continues upstream on another parcel?
Thanks and have a good weekend.

Hi Erin and Kim,
I wanted to take a moment to respond to a comment in the mit plan before we submit our
final response. Given that the answer is, "we cannot change this," I wanted to offer the
opportunity for feedback from you now before we finalize our response.
The comment basically says that the crossing on CT3 should be made an internal crossing
or moved upstream, and that it seems wide.
We discussed these concerns with the landowner before the draft went in, and again now,
and he's not budging on the internal crossing vs. easement break — he's still adamant that it
remain a break. Responding to the question about the width- he uses a combine with a 50'
header, needing ample clearance, so that's why we planned for the 60' break on the front
end. Finally, as to the idea of moving the crossing to the top of the reach, that's a non-
starter for him — the project and buffer are already going to create a pinch, making farm
equipment turnaround more challenging, and he needs the ability to go from E side to W
side without traveling all the way up to the top to get there (the farmer accesses the site
from Mangum Dairy Road).
Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts on this.
Hope y'all are staying warm -
Thanks,
Katie Webber, LSS
