Good afternoon,
Please find attached the revised engineering plans which provide the information requested in Item #1
below. The plans revisions detail a segmental block cofferdam system to divert a significant portion of flow
away from the working section of the crossing. Turbidity monitoring has been included as a means to adhere
to surface water quality standards. Please confirm receipt of this email and let me know if you have any
immediate questions as this project is still pursuing completion by October 15, 2022.
Thank you,
Michael T. Romanello, P.E.
