Subject: RE: Permit at Deep Gulley
AI I,
I much prefer the proposed work trestle over the 3000 sq. ft. of fill at this location. As
such, you may consider this transmission as an official approval of this proposal. A
permit mod will be unnecessary as the area has already been permitted for temporary
impacts and this is a large minimization.
Be advised that all S&E measures necessary for this proposal be installed and
maintained daily, especially on the slope leading to the trestle after its installed.
Previous experience indicates this high traffic area was often overlooked and led to
instances of avoidable loss.
And, without the benefit of contours or elevation profiles in the proposal, I'd also
recommend installing a temporary containment berm upslope (if there is an upslope) of
the trestle as a temporary restraint for the weekends. This action helped prevent losses
on several occasions on the previous project.

Jay,
Attached is a request from BBI for a reduction in temporary impacts at Deep Gulley
(R2514D). They plan on accomplishing this by building a 3-span work trestle.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Paul

Gentlemen,
I tried to get feedback from Mr. Steffens on this scenario, but I am now told he is out for
a period of time.
With that said, attached is a change that we would like to implement at the Deep Gulley
Structure.
After hearing the concerns of the agencies regarding the water level fluctuations at this
location as well as the historic sediment losses on past projects, we do not want to use
the planned 3000 SF of "Temporary Impacts" shown in the permit for this structure
location. Instead we would like to install 3 spans of work trestle as shown and

highlighted Green in the attached. Our impact within that green area would be limited
to the necessary 24" trestle piles and would total less than 50 SF of impact area.
We do plan to begin this installation the week of June 5th. In the past, we have made
changes in work access plans reducing impact areas and we have not needed permit
modifications. However due to this timeline we are hoping you verify that this change
would be acceptable and let us know as soon as possible so that we can make
preparations to move in one direction or the other.
Thanks,
