Ryan, James,

Please see the email below from Cary Fine and, the attached photo of a sediment loss on R-3421 A-B.

I was made aware of the sediment loss late on Monday and visited the site yesterday. The deposition was mostly sandy
material which was primarily deposited in the upland area in the woods. That material has already been removed. Area
Roadside was called in to inspect the site and to review the erosion control measures. During their inspection they
discovered that some of the material had possibly reached the back water area of a small private pond. The pond is off
site and outside of the project limits. It is also hidden by the tree line and is behind a fence. Joshua Young from Area
Roadside, who had inspected the site contacted me to look at the pond. I agreed with his assessment that it looked
jurisdictional. Looking from behind the fence it appeared that some of the material had reached the backwater area of
pond. The contractor has already contacted the property owner who seems to be agreeable about allowing access to
the property for inspection and cleanup.

I believe that the delay in the notification and reporting to the agencies was mostly due to the fact that the losses during
the initial inspection appeared to only be in the upland area.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Art,

As discussed yesterday, please see the attached pictures of the silt losses discovered beyond the right of way at Sta
th
353+00 LT -L- and Sta 325+00 RT -L- on June 17. Losses for both sites combined were estimate at 6-8 CY. The losses
were a result of a 2.75” rainfall in approx. 1 hour. Per plan erosion control measures were in place in these areas
however were overwhelmed due to the immense rainfall. These areas with sediment deposits have been cleaned and
efforts have been taken to add additional EC measures at these locations on the project. Silt deposits were also
discovered in a downstream pond on parcel 17 at 325+00 RT -L-. The contractor has had, and continues to have,
conversations with the property owner regarding their desire to clean up or mitigate the silt accumulation in the pond
however the property owner has not yet agreed to a plan or signed a relevant right of entry. As soon as the property
owner decides what corrective they wish to pursue we will let you know.

If you have any questions or need further information please let me know.

Thanks,
