ATTENDEES:

Name Organization Phone Email .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Q1: What is the intent of the pressure grouting?

A1: To eliminate voids under the culvert sections.

Q2: Can the temporary crossing exceed the road Right-of-Way.

A2: Yes, minimize to the extent possible though; several trees have been identified for removal.

Q3: Can the stream be diverted to perform the work?

A3: Only within the natural stream bed.

Q4: Can equipment be operated within the stream to perform the work?

A4: Contractor’s will be required to abide by permit requirements specifically Section 401 Note 4. “Conduct activity at low flows and water levels to limit the amount of sediment disturbance caused by the heavy equipment. Limit duration and extent that the heavy equipment is required to be in-stream.” Also, conduct prework inspections of equipment to prevent contamination of the project site and creek by leaking fluids.

Q5: On which side of the low-water crossing will the temporary crossing be constructed?

A5: Downstream.

Q6: What type of material can be used as fill for the temporary crossing?

A6: Clean fill complying with permit requirements (i.e. non-erodible at expected high-flows).
