Hi Bill,
Here's the daily summary:
To date, Rincon has provided 8 full days and 2 half day of monitoring.
Today, 2/10/23, the monitor was on site at 7:00 AM and monitored the continued excavation of the trench running west on Broad St. A portion of the crew continued the assembling of tunnels
for the conduit line while the other portion of the crew dealt with the uncovering of several pre-existing pipes running both horizontally and vertically through the trenches while
excavating. The crew also dealt with the dismantling and removal of several pieces of tree root that ran through portions of the trench. Ground disturbing activities were completed
at 12:30 PM. Activities for the rest of the day included backfilling and the installation of conduit lines. The monitor left the site at around 12:30 PM.
Plans for Monday, 2/13/23, include the continued excavation of the trench running west on Broad St. Ground disturbing activities are planned to begin at 7:00 AM, which is when the monitor
will arrive. If plans change the monitor will be notified.

Good afternoon!
To date, Rincon has provided 7 full days and 2 half days of archaeological monitoring.
Today, Thursday 2/9/2023, the monitor was on site at 10:45 to monitor ground disturbance activities, which included continuing excavating the trench west on Broad Street. An approximately
7-inch live root was encountered around pothole 10, which required the City arborist to assess. The crew was informed they could cut this root as it was outside of the drip-line, but
as they progress west towards the large ficus tree, they would have to stop the use of the excavator. Ground disturbance activities were stopped at 1:45 and the monitor left site.
Plans for the following day, Friday 2/10/2023, include cutting the root and continuing the trench westwards.
Thank you!
