10. Is the intent to remove all trees and stumps within the stream bed and within the entire expansion area and is fleximate required throughout this area?

10. GOV Response: No, the bed and bank of the stream are not to be disturbed during construction. Such disturbance would trigger environmental and USACE permitting. The trees marked for removal in the stream bed and bank should first be verified as dead or damaged/dangerous, flagged for removal by an NCA official or representative, then cut down leaving as little a stump as possible without disturbing the bed and bank of the stream, see Demolition Sheet CD 101. Flexamat is not required throughout the expansion only at the ends of SWS structures, see CU Sheets for locations.

13. How long are typical committal, burial, and cemetery activity shutdowns and what is the minimum notice you can provide the contractors prior to shutdowns?

13. GOV Response: The cemetery director will provide the weekly schedule; the contract will need to check in with the Director daily to see if any the is a change in the daily schedule.
