Subject:RE:berm at 500 Luzern Road
Thank you very much sir. Honestly I don't want to bother with anyone at the county or bother you guys
in reference to this I'm not going to call anyone. It's just frustrating that's all. I appreciated your help and
I apologize for taking up your time there's better things to do. Have a great weekend.

Dave,
If you want to show progress, remove the soil away from the few trees that need it. That was one of the
concerns, and it will take way less time than installing a silt fence correctly. It's up to you, however, I
would only install a silt fence if needed, and I don't see it being necessary.
Thanks,
Bruce

Yes sir I understand but I just want them to see I'm making progress and not ignoring the issue because
I'm not sure when I will get to the rest of it. We're very busy and I'm not ignoring anything.

Dave,
No need to install a slit fence unless soil is eroding. I saw no sign of any soil movement.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,
I will also put up a silt fence immediately to help control the soil erosion until I free up a machine. I don't
know when that will happen as we're very busy so the silt fence will have to suffice for now. I already took
care of the trees. Please gather that information for me so I can contact me the DAs office. Please and thank
you.

Dave,
Your neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Murray,made a formal complaint regarding the berm you constructed on
your property. They had Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District take a look at the berm,
and they provided a report to the town detailing what should be done to stabilize the berm and protect
the adjacent trees. Based on their recommendations,please complete the project by stabilizing the berm
on the south side. If you plan to stabilize the south side as you have done on the north side,please cover
all exposed soil of the berm with a dense layer of mulch(wood chips). Also,some of the soil from the berm
has been placed up against adjacent tree trunks, and needs to be removed, as it will eventually kill the
trees. Based on what I saw,it should take no more than 30 minutes for one person with a shovel to remove
the soil from against the trunks of those trees. Once this is completed,those areas of the berm can then be
stabilized with wood chip mulch. Please have all of the work completed by July 24,2020 and notify me so
I can inspect the berm for stabilization per the zoning code. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation
and compliance with this concern.
Thanks,
Bruce
