The culvert was then set in the adit and fill was placed around the culvert. The structure limited ingress and egress to the adit while allowing free access to the population of "Long Eared Bats". The hazardous opening was mitigated and final site grading blended in to match existing topography.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
