This action will result in the following impacts: 80 linear feet of permanent stream impact, 10 linear feet of
permanent impacts from bank stabilization, 0.47 acre of temporary impacts to surface waters for causeways
for bridge construction/removal, and 10 linear feet temporary impacts.
Please see enclosed copies of the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN), DMS Acceptance Letter,
Stormwater Management Plan, and Permit Drawings. A Minimum Criteria Determination Checklist
(MCDC) was completed in February 2019 and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional copies are
available upon request.
This project calls for a letting date of April 21, 2020 and a review date of March 2, 2020.
