Apply for RGP 31, note somewhere that the Corps agreed that Sites 1,2,3,and 4 can each be considered as a single and complete project. Permanent impacts are 176 feet of impacts = 352 of stream mitigation. I don't see any hang ups from my end unless there's something horribly wrong with the PCN. I'm equally as anxious as you to get it off my desk.

Here is what I have uncovered and understand. Correct me if I'm wrong. -The project will be permitted under RGP 198200031. -All sites shown in the permit drawings (1A, 1B, 1C, 2, 3, and 4) are jurisdictional and will be included in the permit application. - Only sites that require stream mitigation for permanent stream impacts are Sites 2 and 3. - Only permanent impacts that require mitigation at Sites 2 and 3 are the length of stream placed in a new culvert (the culvert extensions). - Site 2 has 70 feet culvert extension. Site 3 has 106 feet culvert extension. Total permanent impact from culvert extension is 176 feet. Total stream mitigation required is 352 feet. If these statements are correct, I'm ready to submit the ePCN. If they are not correct, please correct me where I'm wrong. I cant speak for you but I'm anxious to get this one permitted. Thanks for your help and patience. I will be in the field tomorrow. Call my cell to discuss or email. :..

In reviewing other information that was uncovered I found a discussion where it was stated that RGP31 will be used. Can you clarify? I think I have everything I need to submit the application except for the information below and what permit we are using. Thanks -----Original Message ----- From: Bob Lepsic Sent: Friday, February 8, 2019 10:42 AM To: 'Steffens, Thomas A CIV USARMY CESAW (USA)' <Thomas.A.Steffens@usace.army.mil> Subject: RE: U-5875 draft permit drawings ALLEN ROAD (UNCLASSIFIED) Tom, Thanks again for the information. I want to be sure I understood everything we discussed and the information contained in the email. Plus I have a few questions. Each stream crossing is considered a single and complete project for NWP 14. Therefore, there are three federal permit areas (sites 2, 3 and 4). These are the locations of Green Mill Run, SE and WB as identified in the NRTR. The streams at Sites 1A, 113 and 1C (Site 1) were determined by the Corps to be jurisdictional, non-mitigable. A NWP is not needed Site 1. Why is a permit not needed for Site 1? Or is a permit needed but notification is not required because Site 1 is not a special aquatic site? Should a separate PCN be submitted for each federal permit area, three separate applications? If so, should the permit drawings be revised to only show each separate site or can the current permit drawings be used and each site referenced in the each PCN? Since the permanent loss of stream function at each site is less than 150 feet, stream mitigation is not required by the Corps. Are there any changes that are needed on the permit drawings? I will be in the office Monday and Tuesday (2/11 and 2/12). Please call if you want to discuss further. Thanks again. :..

They may change how you are looking at the project. To answer your questions: Typically the mitigation requirement is for greater than 150 linear feet of stream impacts for a single and complete project. On this project, the permanent stream loss is calculated by what additional length of pipe/culvert you are connecting to the existing. Hope that helps.

I do have a question about mitigation requirements for NWP 14. 1 want to be sure I'm interpreting the conditions correctly. Is the mitigation requirement for stream losses of 150 linear feet per site or for the entire project? And is a "loss" only the permanent function loss for the length within the culvert? Ultimate question is how much mitigation would be required and how was it determined? Thanks for your time.
