After our conversation I made contact with Jason Floyd of Bennick Grading. He will be doing our shore
stabilization. He did not think we would need to eliminate as many trees as I had in my count. I counted all the
trees that were on the very edge of the shoreline but he did not think any more than 5 or 6 trees over 3
inches would need to taken down. Any trees that are removed will be replaced inch for inch with a replant in
the 50' protected area.
We will likely be planting more hardwoods regardless. We have a lot of pines on our property and we would
like more hardwoods.
Regarding the the errors on the page 3 drawing, I just reversed my numbers by mistake. Page 3 on the drawing
are reversed - it should have been - 3 x 100 = 300 sf above normal water level and 2 x 100 = 200 sf below normal
water level
I appreciate your help with my application.
Thanks!
