Mr. Thompson
I did speak with the District Engineer, Gary Bailey, on December 12th and he was at a loss on how to best
resolve this issue. During the course of our conversation he stated that TxDOT would not completely
clean out the pipe at this time but he did offer that they would have more frequent evaluations of the outfall
to remove silt accumulation. He also stated that he would evaluate the suggestion of constructing a more
permanent barrier around the inlets. I can anticipate that your next question is the same as mine -what
time frame for a more permanent solution and how frequent will the evaluations for silt removal be? I
don't have that answer and Mr. Bailey did not offerthat in our conversation. I will follow up with another
letter to TxDOT. The city has not secured the services of a geotechnical engineer yet to test the silt.
I apologize forthe delay in responding to youremail. I did take time off at Christmas to spend with my
daughters from college and just returned to the office this week.

Have you had any luck in getting the dirt in the canal tested? What did Tex Dot say when you asked them
to clean out the East, West drainage pipes that are filled with silt.
