RE: Bridge 61 Alleghany Co Trout Moratorium and plastic mesh-
So sorry, I don't believe that I've responded to this email yet. See attached email chain documenting the first moratorium
extension to Nov. 1.
I've checked with my supervisor, while we prefer the plastic mesh not be used at all, we feel it is important not to use within the
25-foot trout buffer.
Thanks for checking on these issues, sorry for the delayed response! (I've had a fair amount of sick leave and travel in the last 2
weeks.)

Subject: Bridge 61 Alleghany Co Trout Moratorium and plastic mesh
Hey Marla,
I inspected this bridge earlier this week and had a couple of issues that need some clarification.
Heath sent me the attached email you sent approving an extension of the moratorium. Your comment letter on this bridge
stated that the moratorium period was from Oct 15 — Apr 15. His email seems to suggest they thought the moratorium started
on Nov 1. Was this a second extension or am I missing something?
The other is plastic mesh matting within the trout buffer (Heath may have already contacted you about it). Your comment letter
in the permit file requests that it not be used. The attached picture is hatched in orange where they used plastic mesh
matting. Heath said it would be too expensive to use core fiber matting within riparian areas (which in my mind is the trout
buffer) on all projects in the Div. and suggested plastic mesh matting would help to establish cover quicker and would degrade
overtime. He sounds willing to work towards a compromise. I suggested it's use on a case-by-case basis. Your comment letter
states DOT should not use it in riparian areas, but as the picture shows they did. I see Heath's point, but if it is WRC position that
DOT not use it, I will support that and require they replace it with core fiber.

Thanks
Dave
