Reviewers are the bane of my job. They serve a checks and balances purpose, but sometimes it feels like they just HAVE to make a comment whenever we submit to them.
We are designing a stream restoration project to relocate a stream out of contaminated areas (YAY), but because of slopes we have to incorporate a "riffle pool" design. They questioned everything about the design we submitted. (BOO)
Our response is now "showing our work" and it's pointing to all the resources we used.

Meanwhile, the stream is going through the contaminated area, right?

And it's underground for about 300' which means fish don't swim up it. We will daylight it so happy fishes.
