Conversation with Jon Mihoci regarding the drainage facilities on the east side of the project.  EA indicated that their ROW folk gave the guidance that state facilities could be in the utility easement and still maintain maintenance access to those facilities.  I indicated that I wasn't sure how that works and would call Jason Copeland for guidance.  Jon stated that he'd be able to add in the second manhole as a change of direction should we not be able to keep the drainage facilities in the utility easement.
Called Jason Copeland and left a message asking for him to call me back to discuss this location.  He called me back and indicated that he doesn't want state facilities in a utility easement and would rather all state facilities be in the SH.  This is for future maintenance considerations given that the utility easement is more likely to cause issue than the SH is.  Jason suggested going back to the conceptual idea of getting the drainage out of the Utility Easement.  Details below.  (Red is proposed - back to conceptual drawing.  Green is another option that was discussed on the phone with Jon.)
Called Jon Mihoci back and indicated to him what Jason told me.  Jon said that should be no issue and he'll have update ROW sheets to us tomorrow.
