Stream update

Please find the below listed items discussed at today’s site meeting. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding these minutes. So far things are progressing well and I am happy with the communication within the team.

Schedule

·         Weekly meetings will continue to be held at the stock pile area weekly on Wednesdays at 8:30;

·         Orange fence and construction entrance are installed;

·         Clearing is completed;

·         Stream Construction 12/1-1/31/18. Second crew the week of 12/4. Construction will commence at the top of the main channel on 12/1 and in tributary 1 the week of 12/4;

·         Equipment and material deliveries to commence immediately.

Site Access

·         No issues with parking or community at this time. Ongoing communication will be necessary as the project progresses with the HOA liaisons.  

·         Orange fence will be strung across construction entrance when construction is NOT active, to prevent pedestrian traffic.

Clearing

·         Discussed again- T38662 (holly on the upstream side of the confluence of main stem and trib 3) to remain if possible. We will revisit as construction gets closer to this tree. The flagging was removed today to prevent premature removal;

·         Karen and Charlie requested to keep a group of small hollies along the right bank of trib 3 if at all possible. We will revisit as construction gets closer to these trees.

General

·         A work order for removal of the light along the trail has been placed. Bob Hayler is the POC. Work has been scheduled;

·         TDS will remove the garbage can along the trail at the top of the site and replace after construction is complete;

·         The first contractor on site in the morning is responsible for closing the gates along the pedestrian pathways and the last contractor to leave the site for the day is responsible to open the gates in the evening;

·         WSSI provided PPE for HOA liaisons’ during construction meetings. It is best if they do not enter the site during construction for safety reasons;

·         Bridge permits are still in county review but we still anticipate installation in early January. I will provide the HOA with the maintenance and projected life of bridges for future maintenance budgeting;

·         The current alignment of the step pool at station 11+10 will result in a portion of the left bank of the structure will be on Sunderbriar property. A request to adjust the pool to the right was made to keep the activity off the Sunderbriar property.

·         Design team will review restoration activity at station 10+00 - 10+35 main stem due to proximity of ornamental tree;

·         The concrete at the construction entrance has a crack, that was present prior to construction activities. This concrete will likely be replaced at the end of the project due to construction traffic;

·         TCOT is working with Waterview Cluster to have several trees removed off site. Rick will coordinate with TDS for access to these trees through Lake Anne West construction site. This work should be done sooner than later.

Have a good evening.
