1, 2009 to impact 1,356 square feet (ft) of Zone 1 protected riparian buffers and 1,645 square feet (ft) of
Zone 2 protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed trail. The DWQ has determined that your
application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will
require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or
streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional information
requested below, we will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional
information. If we do not receive the requested information, your project will be formally returned as
incomplete. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Please provide the proposed width of the fill slopes and the paved portion of the proposed trail..
2. Figure 2.1 shows temporary impacts of tree removal from Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the protected
riparian buffers. Please provide written justification as to why the trees need to be removed and a
detailed planting plan for the woody buffer restoration.
3. One (1) data CD of full size plans in TIFF Group 4 format (black and white, not grayscale or
color). If the plans are too large to store in TIFF format, they can be stored in PDF format.
Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me. If you will not be able to provide the requested information within that timeframe,
please provide written confirmation that you intend to provide the requested information, and include a
specific timetable delineating when the requested materials will be provided. If we do not hear from you
