See below — I ran this by the engineer and they do not think the contractor will need to get within the 10-ft zone. The-1-6
is adequate room to stockpile and work outside that area for this project. Let me know if you need anything else.

Tyler, Jeremy and I are in agreement that the contractor should have adequate spacing within the proposed limits of
construction without encroaching on the 10-ft buffer on this project. There shouldn't be any need to write in a
modification to the permit. Thanks for coordinating on this, and please let us know if any additional info is required for
the permit. Have a great day.

I talked with Sue Homewood of the DENR WSRO today regarding the 401 review of our permit application. She isready
to issue the permit but wanted usto check on one thing:

In a couple of areas, the line is very close to the stream bank (approximately 10 feet). While this meets permit
requirements and Sue is ready to issue the permit as is, she brought up an interesting point. In her recent experience
with sewer lines this distance from the stream bank, during construction it has been found that the contractor could not
install the line without encroaching within the 10 ft buffer off the stream. This may be for several reasons, including
topography, type of equipment, distance they had to offset from the existing line with heavy equipment or excavation
etc. Therefore, she is checking to make sure the 10 -ft buffer is practical in all areas. In those cases where no practical
alternative is present for the contractor, Sue has allowed encroachment into the 10 -ft buffer zone with erosion controls
and temporary bypass pumping of the stream (so if spoil does enter the creek or the stream bank fails it is able to be
cleaned up in the dry). She is willing to write this into the permit as a last resort if it is needed, but wanted me to check
with you and the City to determine if the 10 -ft buffer is practical in all cases along this line. It would be easier for her to
include something now (if it is really necessary) than to have a contractor stalled in the field while waiting for a permit
modification.
Please consider this and pass it on to the City. Let me know either way you would like to go. You may want to check
with DENR erosion control folks on this as well to see if it is an option to consider. Call to discuss as needed.
Thanks
Phil
