The failure has taken out our basin and has migrated close to the shoulder of Business 40. We are currently developing a long term solution in the area. However, while that is worked out we need to temporarily stabilize the area. I have attached a few pictures of the failure and a plan sheet. Note in the first picture the basin wasn't compromised, but in the second and third pictures taken a week later, it is compromised. The final picture shows the proximity of the failure to the edge of pavement. I have added a comment to the attached pdf where the failure is located. If you don't object, we would like to armor the slide (toeing below the ordinary high water mark). All impacts will be accounted for in the permit modification. This is on sheet 42 of 64 on the permit drawings. Please let me know if you have any objections. Thanks.

We met on the project yesterday to discuss a plan for the failures along Smith Creek. It will take some time to get the plans together. I'll be in touch.

We have had multiple large events (100+ year storms) in the area. We have a few locations where streams are undermining or will undermine our fill slopes and need to be addressed for long term stability. One area is downstream of the culvert on Smith Creek. There are a few locations along Smith Creek that we are going to investigate further to determine the appropriate method. The fill in this area hasn't been installed yet, so we have a little more time to come up with a plan. The other area is permit site 8. Martin Mill Creek has migrated significantly since the project started and is now undermining the fill slope for the bridge. I have included a plan sheet that shows the original location of the stream and the new locations, and a couple pictures. In the first picture you can see the amount of sand that has been deposited forcing the stream to migrate away from it and toward our slope. I outlined the new channel location. In the second picture, you can see rip rap in the distance (circled in red). This is where the stream has migrated to and is undermining the fill slope. The plan here would be to install a channel with the banks lined with rip rap through the sand and connect with the stream on the other side, and fill the old channel. I would like to know if you are ok with us proceeding with this repair and submitting a permit modification package for all sites at the same time. Let me know your thoughts.
