Messrs. Burnett and Donnelly,
Thank you for your PCN and attached information, dated and received 1/14/2020, for the above referenced project. I
have reviewed the information and need clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit 29
(http://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2017/2017NWP29.pdf). Please submit the requested information below (via e-mail
is fine) within 30 days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide
Permit or consider your application withdrawn and close the file:
1) The proposed project includes fill in stream and wetland areas for a road crossing (Impact 1). The need for such
access is not disputed, however you have not demonstrated avoidance and minimization to the maximum
extent practicable as required by NWP General Conditions 23(a) and (b). For example, it appears that all impacts
to wetlands and streams could be avoided if the road were shifted to the east and redesigning the affected lot
shapes/lines (e.g. Lots 2-5, 26-30, etc.). It is not clear that the overall lot number would be reduced or that
project viability would suffer through such changes. Please provide additional information to this effect,
including updates to the PCN/plans as necessary;
2) Based on the project plans, much of the drainage area for Stream SAA could be rerouted away from
downstream portions of Stream SAA due to grading. How will this stream retain hydrology to remain
jurisdictional/functional? Perhaps a grading plan would be beneficial in answering this question.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
