Hi Ryan. Just some thoughts about our rain impacts to an already-limited completion schedule…
Would it be appropriate to alert Danny that without more manpower brought to the project (as soon as it can resume), the project could very likely be shut down prior to completion due
to the gnatcatcher nesting season? Is this a possibility??
If not, what will be our strategy to deal with uncompleted work areas? I’m concerned about disturbed construction areas being under construction, but not being completed (steps from
Gabion Wall #2, up the hill along Gabion Wall #3, and up to the rest/view area).
Is there a possibility for continued work, if a biologist were on-site watching for gnatcatcher presence; and completion work being able to continue until such sightings?
It sounds like we could loose most of 2 weeks of construction days due to rain and muddy conditions…

Danny,
It is expected you request rain days prior to the work day and without me reaching out about a similar topic which then initiated your request. Today will be approved, but future dates
will not be approved unless requested in the appropriate fashion.
Although you did not respond to the sand bag portion of my original email below, I look forward to receiving those photos by the end of today.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Danny,
Based on the heavy rain and wind expected starting tomorrow, January 4th please keep in mind all soil stockpiles must be properly covered and evaluated each day to ensure they remain
covered by the protective tarp. The on-site biologist has documented in recent reports the rocks used to weigh down the tarps previously are insufficient and allow for the tarp to
move.
Please utilize heavier devices such as sand bags and in a higher quantity. You may be able to fill some sand bags at the local LA County Fire Department (Station 121) at 346 Armitos
Place in Diamond Bar, but I am not positive. Either way, please take photos later today when all soil piles are covered and email to me.
As always, please email me tomorrow morning if the rain commences and you are requesting a rain day.
Thank You,

Attached are drone photos sent to me by Lee Paulson showing the ongoing work on the Canyon Loop Trail.
To reiterate, if the City has an Interim Take Permit (ITP) for impacts to CAGN-occupied habitat in this area, please send me a copy.
Otherwise, I hope the Service will contact the City to halt work on the project until they obtain the permit and can demonstrate compliance.
Apart from the possible lack of an ITP for these impacts, aspects of the project of particular concern are (1) the contractor does not appear to be controlling erosion as specified
in the project’s Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and (2) the width of the trail exceeds the five feet specified in the MND.
Please contact me at your earliest opportunity to address these potential issues.
Thank you,
