Hello Mr. Wright
I wanted to highlight both the important points in the compliance mitigations as well as the consulting tribe “ Kizh Nation “
Who requested monitoring . Hopes this clarify some of the back and forth emails . Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Hello Ryan
Thank you so kindly for your response, I believe there is a misunderstanding. For the compliance of this project per the mitigations we are the tribal government that requested tribal
monitoring and gave important information that pertains to the protection of our tribal cultural resources. Therefore the tribal monitor as suggested in the mitigation measures for
this project should be from our tribal government and no other entity.
In the mitigation document attached it is stated that no other tribes responded within 30 days, therefore the only tribe that requested monitoring was us. So that the project stays
in compliance it should be our tribal entity monitoring the proposed project. If you have any questions please contact us or we can have our legal counsel help you with this matter.
Thank you,
Lexie Salas

Hello Ryan,
According to the mitigations if ground disturbances will be taking place at the above project, yes we will need to be there.

t. Concrete swales are being constructed in (7) locations, as follows:
* (2) locations for shade shelter pads
* (3) locations where adjacent to new timber steps
* (1) location adjacent to/behind Gabion Wall No. 1
* (1) location adjacent to widened trail at T-intersection with existing Summit Ridge Trail. At this location, the completed concrete swale will be filled up with rock cobble, so as
to avoid pedestrians’ mis-stepping off the trail and into the concrete swale.
* Reduction of Erosion and Surface Soil Displacement
* Throughout the trail length, (exclusive of the steep segments now receiving timber steps) where the grade of the trail, longitudinally, is great enough where potential erosion down
the trail surface is likely (historically been occurring in significant rain events), strategically-placed Trail Water Diverters are being constructed to quickly remove more significant
flows of rain water, directing such flows off the trail and down the lower side of the trail topography while still in small quantities. All “run-off” water is being directed into
natural vegetation areas, where it will be absorbed into the natural terrain in small volumes. There are (19) Trail Water Diverters (Construction Item No. 3 on the Title Sheet).
* The bottom line goals for this project includes REDUCING natural erosion activities which this trail system has encountered over its many years of existence.
* No run-off water, from this project’s trails improvement work, is anticipated to get within 650 feet of any established storm water conveyance systems.
* Concerning the trail width:
* All trail improvements are to be reconstructed to 5’-0” in width at the completion of the project (Construction Notes #1 on Title Sheet).
* The note on the plans at various locations say: “Existing Trail/Protect in Place”. This note has been used in those locations where new grading and/or trail widening is not necessary.
HOWEVER, (just as was anticipated), in order to widen those portions of the trail prior to/after these noted “protect-in-place areas”, there will be trail disturbance (within the existing
5’ trail width) due to hauling construction materials over them with mechanical equipment, and must be fine-graded and compacted again. The purpose of this Protect-in-Place note is
to differentiate between trail distances needing widening to 5’-0” and those trail areas which already meet the 5’-0” width, as well as to pre-determine how much square footage of native
vegetation areas will be impacted (and reported within the Environmental Documents for the project).
* In all areas where the existing trail was less than the 5’-0” designated width (to be attained at the completion of the project), and residual grading must occur on either one side
or both sides, the limited displacement of existing vegetation (some of which will be native vegetation, while substantial growth is actually invasive weed material) will be necessary.
These designations are being called out by the project’s botanist team, which have been on-site during clearing and grubbing activities to help guide where the removal of plant material
has the least impact on native vegetation. During project design, the design team made anticipated calculations of the amount of (SF) area projected for disturbance; and the actual
areas are being calculated by the naturalists as the project progresses.
* For discussions regarding clarifications on the BMP’s, please communicate with the City Engineering staff (Fabian?)
Hopefully this information will be helpful.
Best,
