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