I am in receipt of the RAI for the Stonegate 401 application The Army Corps issued the 404
perms (SAW- 2008 - 01783) on 3/18/2015 They requested wetland mitigation via their own RAI
and the applicant has secured this through EBX Both the Corps permit and the EBX SOA is
attached Below I have provided a response to your questions
1 There was a mistake when printing/copying These missing sections are included with
this submittal
2 The appropriate permit is NWP #29
3 The Corps has issued the 404 perms thus the delineation has been approved
4 Upon assessing the phased development, it was determined by the Corps that mitigation
would be required for these wetland impacts The applicant has entered into an
agreement with EBX to purchase the riparian wetland mitigation credits
5 The engineer has provided the attached forms for the level spreaders
