Sent to Trey by John Sims on June 20, 2024: Good Morning Trey, Larry forwarded your email to me concerning the incomplete permit application. I went through my correspondence and found that between the information I submitted and the meetings we have been in that the information you are requesting was addressed by myself. I am going through the points made in your email to Larry. Erosion Control: The area of the marsh that is removed for the reclamation of the lead shot will have a silt fence installed completely surrounding the area. This will prevent any of the material from migrating outside the area and travel into the undisturbed area of the marsh. We will be utilizing a string of 8' by 16' tri-layer light weight crane mats to remove the material. As the removal occurs we will also be installing the silt fence. This will be don in 100' by 600' strips. Once a strip is done and the silt fence installed the mats will be repositioned and the entire process repeated until the area is completely removed. there will be no processing of the material for shot recovery until the silt fence is installed. The silt fence serves 2 functions. Erosion control and restoration of the impacted area. As the process of the shot reclamation collected occurs the tailings which is the material after the shot is separated out of will be pumped back into the area inside the silt fence where it originally came from. The silt fence will allow for the return of water to the system to be utilized for continued use, along with the natural settling/ de watering of the returned material in an even and controlled manner to fill the area back in with the material that was initially removed. If re seeding of this area is required then it will be done. The last wet land job I did showed that the seed bank of the material along with the roots system of the marsh not being completely removed provide a fantastic of the re growth of the vegetation in the disturbed areas. There will be no net flood plane fill added to this restoration process. The only material being returned to the disturbed area is the same material that was removed from that area minus the lead shot. I wasn't involved with flood plane information. Larry will be taking care of that side of the permit process. Time is getting shorten. I see that it may be up to another 4 weeks before a permit will be issued. It will take 2 weeks to get the equipment/mats mobilized and set up to break ground. If an early Winter hits us there is the possibility that this job would have to have the permit extended till next Spring to complete it fully. Please contact me if I can be of further assistance. Thanks, John Sims 141
