David and Sue --please utilize these attachments. We caught some discrepancies in impact numbers on the overall map
that was previously provided and to avoid confusion I wanted to re -send. No other changes outside of updated impact
numbers on the overall impact drawing. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks.

Good Morning David,
On behalf of the applicant, please find the attached information and below responses. Please let me know if you require
additional information. Thanks.
USACE Comment 1) Please note that stream and wetland impacts for additional phases of the Meadow Valley s/d
were authorized via NWP 29 and 12 on 9/12/2007. However, based on evaluation of the previously permitted plans, our
site visit in 2018, and the most recent aerial photography, none of the authorized impacts were constructed. Further,
the NWP 29 and 12 verification dated 9/12/2007 has since expired. As such, the currently proposed stream and wetland
impacts will be evaluated as the entirety of proposed impacts for the Meadow Valley single and complete project
Applicant Response: The applicant acknowledges.
2) Provide a plan view of the lot layout and infrastructure (roads, utilities, stormwater, etc.) for the entire proposed
Meadow Valley s/d overlaid on a survey of the stream and wetland delineation approved by the Corps. This plan is
necessary to evaluate avoidance and minimization measures and potential indirect impacts for the project
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
3) Is rip rap proposed to be placed in the stream channel associated with Crossings A or B? If so, include the rip rap on
the plan and profile views of these crossings, and ensure that the stream and/or wetland impacts associated with rip rap
is included and itemized clearly on the PCN and plans.
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
4) Include a graphic (not text) scale on all plan sheets
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
5) Crossing A plans:

a. The PCN proposes 108 Lf. of stream impacts. However, the profile drawing shows the footprint of the culvert and
headwalls to be 111 Lf. Further, it the stream has any sinuosity the actual stream length impacted by the culvert and
headwall footprint would exceed the length of the structure. Please re-evaluate all proposed impacts and update the
PCN and plans accordingly
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
b. The plan view appears to show that the pipe is aligned such that the outlet occurs outside of the existing channel. If
the culvert pipe will be aligned such that the inlet and outlet are in -line with the existing stream channel, please update
the mapping to depict accurately. If not, please update your plans to meet this requirement (Regional Condition 3.6.1)
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
The profile view twice shows "Existing 'Intermittent' Stream Invert." Change to "Existing 'Perennial' Stream Invert."
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
6) Crossing B plans:
a. Clearly show the center line of the intermittent stream on the plan view
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
Provide a profile view for this proposed crossing
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
7) Temporary impacts:
a. For the proposed temporary wetland impact, clarify that the wetland will be restored such that the top 12" of
wetland soil will be segregated and placed back as the top 12" of soil upon restoration of this wetland area
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
Provide the proposed seed mix to be used in the restoration of temporary wetland and stream impacts
Applicant Response: Please see attached.
8) Please note that responses to the items above (especially item 2) may prompt additional information requests to
allow full evaluation of the proposed project.
Applicant Response: The applicant acknowledges.
Sincerely,
Bradley S. Luckey, PWS

Hi Brad, and thanks for the question. As you point out, there are various NWP General and Regional Conditions that
address restoration of temporary impacts; 3 of which are cited below. The information provided in the PCN did not allow
me to confirm that these conditions would be met (3.11 in particular), and it is within my discretion to request this
information in order to ensure that they are.
NWP General Conditions:
13. Removal of Temporary Fills. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to
pre -construction elevations. The affected areas must be revegetated, as appropriate.
23(a). The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary and
permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e., on site)
NWP 29 regional Conditions:
3.11 Restoration of Temporary Impacts to Stream Banks Upon completion of work involving temporary stream bank
impacts, stream banks are to be restored to pre -project grade and contours or beneficial grade and contours if the
original bank slope is steep and unstable. Natural durable materials, native seed mixes, and native plants and shrubs are
to be utilized in the restoration.
Thanks again, and have a great 2020.

David -a little clarity please on request 7b. I am unfamiliar with the regulations that require seeding mixes to be
provided. I am familiar with temporary impact restoration requirements in general condition 13 of NWP 12/29 and
regional conditions 3.10 and 3.11. Please advise. Thanks.
