Impacts to Wetlands and Waters of the State and Comoensatory MitiEation
NOTE: This project will impact approximately 1,481 square feet of Coastal Wetlands due to permanent
fill. This project will impact approximately 200 square feet of Coastal Wetlands due to
permanent hand clearing and will impact approximately 1,419 square feet of Coastal Wetlands
due to temporary hand clearing. This project will impact approximately 121 square feet of
surface waters due to permanent fill.

impacted areas in re-attaining their pre-project wetland functions. Within three years after project
completion, the permittee shall hold an agency field meeting with DCM to determine if the Coastal
Wetland areas temporarily impacted by this project have re-attained pre-project wetland functions. If at
the end of three years DCM determines that the Coastal Wetland azeas temporarily impacted by the
project have not re-attained pre-project wetland functions, DCM will determine whether compensatory
wetland mitigation shall be required.

power line and a support pole.
