Request for Modification in Permit 43-03
Sir:
This letter is in response to your instructions in regard to the review of plans for the City of Jacksonville
for projects associated with the Surgeon City and Wilson Bay biosystem restoration efforts.
Our project will consist of the construction of a boardwalk on top of an existing wastewater line that runs
from Sturgeon City Park to Thompson School Creek.
In addition to the boardwalk construction, the City of Jacksonville is instituting other projects to improve
water quality and natural habitat along Thompson School Creek. The projects include the installation of
several rain gardens in upland areas adjacent to the creek. These projects will serve to retain and treat
stormwater runoff prior to it entering the wetlands along the Thompson School Creek. The City of
Jacksonville has had six rain gardens designed that together will cover 94,000 square feet within this
area. The construction of these projects is expected to begin in May 2006.
During the construction of the boardwalk, the City will also be removing invasive species from the
wetlands and upland areas along the boardwalk. The size of the area is approximately two acres.
Removal will be preformed by hand with the use of chain saws and hand tools. Any trash (old cars,
stoves, metal cans, etc.) will also be removed and discarded in the local landfill. Following this, native
species will be planted within the area. When possible, the boardwalk will be used as for the entrance
and exit to reduce impact.
We have included a $100 check for this modification and pursuant to your instructions, anticipate being
returned the previously written $400 check to your agency.
The City of Jacksonville appreciates the manner that this project has been handled, and appreciates the
support that you have provided to this effort. I stand ready to answer any questions. Additionally, Larry
Hobbs of Hobbs and Associates, is available at 919 306-2410 to answer questions and to provide more
detailed information.
Si cerely,
Glenn Hargett
