Would have been nice to see o bit more in terms of where structures (plan view might be, l realize h was x conceptual p|un... 2. It is a good idea to utilize bed material from Stream I to "seed" the bypass channel, 3. 1 am concerned about the nature of the bank material on the north and western sides of the bypass channel where there will boa near l:|slope, 4. The dimensions based oo the watershed size and curves seem good, 5. I um very concerned about the turn at station 0+00` they need to show with u eobezuutio how this is going to he done, a. Also concerned about the downstream tie~bz station 9+53.99 6. They talk uUtde about introducing pattern into the bypass ±botnhn( with structures, also lbclieve I may have aeoo earlier somewhere they mention a 1.4 sinuosity mentioned, that would be high, 7. These next two observation are not what you were asking me but we can talk later about them: i. 8 does not seem like the bypass channel makes op for the stream loss, and ii. What does it mean if the relocated channel im within the pit expansion boundary? 1 will be out in the field Monday and Tuesday next week, but you are welcome \o call ng' personal mobile any time ...Al9- 306-3529 Hope the training went well and see you Wednesday.
