I think their sediment basin size should be evaluated, they did not build it per plans.

Funny you should ask. | am going to the scanner right now to get inspection and photos scanned for you and the KWA
and contractors. Chip found clouded waters from the outfall throughout the drain near the site. -- And this is with a light
rain on Monday.
My report to them will say they may use PAMs, tacked down mulch blankets, etc. to stop sediment from leaving site.
They also need to clean drain pipes of sediment ASAP.
You mentioned a while back their sediment basin may not be large enough to handle the storm water. Do you think |
should be asking for another one to be installed, or make this one larger?
Report and photos to you in a few minutes.

Sending staff out to complainant's address today. And it's raining here so we'll get a real-time look at any sediment
potentially leaving the site. The site is not blanketed -- there are 2 projects going on simultaneously : the impoundment
which has been going for many months - lots of excavation and pushing dirt around; and the water plant site which just
started a month or so ago. All the vegetation has been scraped off many acres. There is big equipment all over the place.
| spoke with staff this morning about instructing them to blanket any areas near collection basins and slopes leading to
ditches and surface waters. [that they are not driving on].
l agree with you they'll likely have to clean out cement collection pipes. The company did not give staff a lot of details,
only that they were working on clean up.
I'll know more when staff return to the office this afternoon.

Have your staff been out there during a rain event? The complainants address is 3321 Marathon Rd.
Thanks for looking into it. Is the site blanketed? Does there appear to be erosion of not they may have to clean their
pipes too.
| look forward to an update.
Thanks,
Susan

One of my staff just attended a meeting at the site yesterday with contractors and KWA representatives. He mentioned
to me the contractor and he talked about cleaning out the drain, but I don't have all the details. | expect to get more
information Monday morning.
I can't open the photo file. Can you get me the address of the complainant? We'll look at the drain from her property
also.
