Please see Axiom's response to comments below in BLUE. • DWR understands that temporary Buffer Impacts will be restored, but DWR is concerned about the removal of trees in the buffered areas. Please provide a response stating that removal of trees in the buffered area will be avoided and minimized as best as possible. ■ Site 1-2 • Site access occurs within an existing cleared powerline easement as stated on sheet C3.2 of the Repair Plans. No trees are anticipated to be removed for access to the repair site. The Site will be revegetated immediately after construction. ■ Site 1-15 • On sheet C3.15 of the Repair Plans, NOTES state that the "CONTRACTOR SHALL AVOID TREE REMOVAL AS BEST FEASIBLE. MATURE TREES REMOVED WITHIN ZONE 1 RIPARIAN BUFFER SHALL BE REPLANTED AT COMPLETION OF REPAIR." Within the General Construction and Geotechnical Notes section on page 2 of the Repair Plans is a section titled PERMANENT SEEDING SCHEDULE FOR AREAS OTHER THAN CHANNELS, describing the general sequence and herb species to be used for revegetating areas impacted by construction, however, this does not include tree species. Any general guidance on the size, species, and planting density requirements for the replacement of trees in the buffer would be appreciated. We will update the impact drawing for this site appropriately. • Project Site 1-1A TR-W63 The map states "TR-W63 Stream Fill" but "Table 2. Total Impacts for the Trent River drainage basin" states "TR-W63 Wetland Fill". Please confirm this is wetland or stream fill. • TR-W63 should state "Wetland Fill". Please see revised Impact Figures attached. MM-0 ■ The map states "TR-W66 Stream Fill" but "Table 2. Total Impacts for the Trent River drainage basin" states "TR-W66 Wetland Fill". Please confirm this is wetland or stream fill. • TR-W66 should state "Wetland Fill". Please see revised Impact Figures attached. • Project Site 1-15 TR-W35 ■ The map states "TR-W35 Stream Fill" but "Table 2. Total Impacts for the Trent River drainage basin" states "TR-W35 Wetland Fill". Please confirm this is wetland or stream fill. • TR-W35 should state "Wetland Fill". Please see revised Impact Figures attached. • Project Site 1-19 TR-W 24 ■ The map states "TR-W24 Stream Fill" but "Table 2. Total Impacts for the Trent River drainage basin" states "TR-W24 Wetland Fill". Please confirm this is wetland or stream fill. • TR-W24 should state "Wetland Fill". Please see revised Impact Figures attached. • Project Site 1-23 TR-NWW-1p ■ The map includes temporary and permanent stream fill, but TR-NWW-1p in Table 2 only includes Permanent Stream Fill. • 1 see that Table 2 shows TR-NWW-1p with permanent stream fill and temporary dewatering (see screenshot below). However, the Impact figure was incorrect. Please see revised impact Figures attached. 27 linear feet Stream till Pennanellt 53 square feet 1-23 TR-NV4 W-lp 53 cubic feet Chamiel deiNateiiug Temporary 21 linear feet 170 square feet We hope the information provided is sufficient for review.
