Monte and Dave,
Prior to starting work, our contractor and inspectors were checking the status of some of the permit sites. At the Lowery Mill
Creek site (permit site 12), someone has logged some of the timber in the floodplain and dropped a couple trees and a bunch of
branches in Lowery Mill Creek. We met on site on Tuesday and discussed with the contractor. Our contractor is going to go
ahead and clean up, due to risk of flooding causing channel destabilization. This will happen prior to our permit meeting on the
30t". They won't have equipment on site that can do the clean up until Friday or early next week. The plan is to remove the
debris from the channel by hand as much as possible and lift any large pieces with equipment. No equipment will be in the
water, and any disturbed banks will be stabilized. I've attached a few pictures showing the debris in the channel and the
floodplain. If the weather cooperates, we'll plan to hold the environmental meeting in the field and you can check out the
repaired site. If you have questions, let me know.
