Please provide written responses as to where the changes can be found on the plans, and submit revised plans/documents to a Permit Coordinator. 1. Provide a letter from the geotechnical engineer of record showing that he has reviewed and approved the shoring plans for compliance with the geotechnical report. 2. Provide a photo monitoring program document signed by the geotechnical engineer, owner, and contractor per page 9 of the geo report. 3.

Include the welding requirements at details 18 and 19/SH2 b. Justify the use of non -pressure preservative treated lagging at "temporary locations". It would seem to be an invitation for the lagging to rot out, and the geotech report indicated a well compacted backfill without deleterious materials intermixed. 5. What type oftemporary and permanent fencing or other method of barricade is proposed for the top of the shoring, and when will it be installed in relation to the timeline of the shoring construction?
