At that time you gave me a copy of the Shorelir- and Bank Protection Plan which was prepared by Cliff Reep and a copy of the planning report pr -zed by the City of Orono planning staff in response to your application for permi The purpose of my work is to establish a ratioanl basis for replanting of the restoration work. At your site I observed that there are three areas of restoration work along the west edge of the yard using limestone placed on geotextile material: a) The shoreline at the lake edge was restored with rip -rap consisting of rough chunks of Shakopee Red Limestone 6"- 12"+ in size . This covers the entire shoreline length of 150. b) Are 8' walkway at the top of the shoreline rip -rap was covered with crushed limestone gravel. The walk is along the north 90' of shore. c) The main 2:1 slope was covered with hand placed limestone boulders of 2'- 4' dia. The voids were filled with limestone gravel followed by topsoil. This treatment covers the central 100' of length of slope parallel to the shoreline. I also saw two types of areas which were not covered with limestone. a) A mid -level area togard the south of the site has been restored with soil, seed and mulch. b) Where are also small areas of undisturbed soil and vegetation which remain from pre -storm conditions. In addition, there are a numbe* of trees from pre -storm conditions which have been covered by the lime3ton-. Many of these 3"-6" trees were cut off at 6' some time ago and appear quite deformed and out of place. F :s
