Home My WebLink AboutRe_ EXTERNAL_ Fw_ _EXTERNAL_ Photos of Canyon Loop Trail Work_ Diamond Bar (4)Good afternoon, I am out of town for the week with the family and have very limited email access. Dick, would you mind responding regarding the plans and the v ditch? Anthony, can you work with the contractor to ensure the contractor is continuing to implement the BMPs? I think Fabian may be able to assist. They are included in the specs which are viewable on planet bids still. Thank you, Ryan ________________________________ From: Winkleman, Ryan <Ryan.Winkleman@mbakerintl.com> Sent: Monday, November 28, 2022, 12:03 PM To: Ryan Wright <RWright@DiamondBarCA.Gov>; Anthony Jordan <AJordan@DiamondBarCA.Gov>; Richard Fisher <rfisher@rfaland.com> Cc: Ashimine, Alan <aashimine@mbakerintl.com> Subject: FW: EXTERNAL: Fw: [EXTERNAL] Photos of Canyon Loop Trail Work, Diamond Bar CAUTION: This message originated outside of our City of Diamond Bar network. **Please exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders.** Gentlemen, I received the email below from USFWS a little while ago. See below and attached. I know Ryan and I talked briefly about the Lee Paulson letter early last week but now that we’ve got a federal agency asking about it I think it may be better for me to get official text from the City and/or Dick regarding the project design and width. I do not want to misstate anything from my perspective and cause any additional questions. Can one of you send me something back, or at least confirm that the project is being implemented as designed in Dick’s plans and that there haven’t been any major changes? I can throw the latest permanent impact acreages into my response back to her. I am not sure about BMPs but the photos certainly don’t show any that I can see (such as silt fencing, etc.). In many cases this is not a big deal because there aren’t many appreciable slopes down the sides and it is generally very gradual and flat-ish but it is probably most relevant in the switchback area where the illegal trail is being cut off, as that is a steep grade and there are clearly piles of sediment coming down the sides. I looked in the IS/MND and saw that the project is required to have a SWPPP with applicable BMPs. Do we have the SWPPP and do we know if the contractor has implemented any BMPs from it, at least when rain is forecast? This is especially important this week because there is rain forecast in a few days. I’m currently seeing about 1.25 inches forecast between Thursday and Sunday, with the bulk on Thursday. Did they put any BMPs in place for the prior rain days? I think these were days when the biologists weren’t around anyway. Obviously the sooner I can respond the better, because right now USFWS is clearly on our side by the fact that she’s reaching out just to me personally and in such an informal manner. I don’t want to leave her waiting too long before I get back to her. Btw note that the drone photos include multiple shots of that v-ditch, which will probably trigger a response from CDFW. Thanks very much!

We just wanted to check in and make sure everything is being implemented as laid out in the MND. The specific concerns appear to be regarding the erosion control BMPs and width of the trail. If you could confirm that the project is being built as planned and that all BMPs are appropriately placed, we would greatly appreciate it and we will be happy to prepare a response regarding the ITP question.
