Several EC measures were overwhelmed by an intense storm event with tornadic activity. Close to 8 inches were
collected in one rain gage. Measures were currently being repaired. Areas where sediment entered JS areas were
cleaned of sediment. More work may be conducted in several areas as they are able to be accessed.

Comment: I met with Jeff Winkler and Jim Hollowav DOT's inspectors to review sediment losses from last weeks
storm event (4 - 8 inches in an hour with a tornado). Sites 3, 10 and a JS area upstream of Site 21 and
downstream of the Polin Waste Pit all loss sediment to JSs. Other EC measures throuqhout the proiect
were overwhelmed and were beinq repaired. Sediment was sufficientiv removed from JS areas.
