Dayton,
I have reviewed everything with our inspector (Marcus) and found there are outstanding issues on your project that
have absolutely nothing to do with the “chasm” as you call it.
When the inspector is ready to release the project he will let me know. Until then, please work through the inspector on
the project.
Regarding the “chasm”, Mike is working on a solution and all inquiries regarding it should be handled through him
Thank You, George

George,
Will you please let me know what we have to do to close this project out? We have installed
all of the BMP’s specified in the approved plans. I realize we do not have a full stand of grass
1
yet, but the seed will germinate as the weather continues to warm and the frequency of
high stream velocities decreases. We understand there will need to be some final cleanup
and rock check dam removal when the grass takes hold.
In the meantime, I am very concerned about the chasm that is continuing to migrate
southward. It is getting very close to the headwall that we recently installed. In addition, the
sudden drop is contributing to issues caused by elevated stream velocities during heavy rain
events.
In my opinion, the two issues discussed above are directly related to each other. Once the
erosion issue is corrected and the waterfall is eliminated the resulting backwater should
mitigate stream velocities – thereby reducing sediment transport.
Please call me at your convenience to discuss this.
Thank you,
Dayton
