Subject: Re: Bynum Hydro Project - Response to Request for Additional Information
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for making time to meet with me earlier this month. I have been able to get in touch with Amber
Greune at Geosyntec regarding the information you've requested regarding water quality monitoring. She and I
have a meeting next week to continue working on the details of the monitoring plan.
At this time I would like to request an extension of the deadline for submitting my final monitoring plan to
September 1, 2017. This additional time will allow for me to work with water quality monitoring professionals
to create a plan, and allow some time for your office to address any questions I may have after meeting with
Amber next week.
Thank you for considering my request for a deadline extension.
Sincerely,
Andrew McMahan

Dear Jennifer,

On May 6, 2017 I received the Division of Water Quality's request for additional information regarding my
application for a 401 Water Quality Certificate. Unfortunately I do not believe I will be able to provide your
Division with the requested information with the given 30 days.
I would like to request an extension of deadline for submitting a water quality plan. I would like to propose
that we hold a meeting at your office on June 1st at 2:00 pm so that we can discuss specific requirements for a
water quality monitoring plan for the Bynum Hydro project (FERC Project No 4093). Provided that we are
able to meet on June 1, I would like to request a new deadline of July 1, 2017 so that I can incorporate
feedback from our meeting into a final plan.
Additionally, I am unable to provide DWQ with a copy of the requested Draft Environmental Assessment
(DEA) for the Bynum Hydro project as it has not been created by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC). They are currently working on the DEA, however I am unaware of when it will be completed and
distributed. If possible I would like to request an extension of deadline for my submission of a DEA until it is
published by FERC.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you regarding a possible meeting on
June 1st at 2:OOpm.
Sincerely,
Andrew McMahan
