Agreed, at least one additional year of monitoring and a site visit next year. I'm a bit surprised/concerned about their approach to the eroded hillside, proposing to cutting trees and use only woody material. It seems to be more of a temporary fix than long-term stabilization solution.

Spam@nc.gov<mailto:report.spam(a)nc.gov> IRT, Wildlands will be doing a few small repairs on Glade II (recall our site visit last November). I assume we'll want to require at least one additional year of monitoring. It's in MY4 currently, so this would be a good one to look at next year after the repairs. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here is the cover letter for the repair and its supporting documents. Please let me know if you need anything else. Have a good evening!

I was at the site visit last November, and recall the need for the bank and headcut repairs. Since the original permit was issued in 2013, it is expired and you can no longer perform the work under that permit. You may meet the conditions for using a non - notifying NWP3, which would save time and documentation from the obtaining a new permit verification. If so, please provide me a short adaptive management plan describing the repairs with a map and include a cover letter verifying that you meet the conditions. Keep in mind that Alleghany County contains trout waters and so a trout moratorium may apply. I have copied Regional Condition 4.1 regarding notification in trout waters. 4.1 NWP 93 - Maintenance 4.1.1 In designated trout watersheds, a PCN is not required for impacts to a maximum of 75 linear feet (150 linear feet for temporary dewatering) of streams and waterbodies when conducting maintenance activities. Minor deviations in an existing structure's configuration, temporary structures and temporary fills are authorized as part of the maintenance activity. In designated trout watersheds, the permittee shall submit a PCN (see Regional Condition 2.7 and General Condition 32) to the District Engineer prior to commencing the activity if, 1) impacts (other than temporary dewatering to work in dry conditions) to streams or waterbodies exceed 75 linear feet; 2) temporary impacts to streams or waterbodies associated with dewatering to work in dry conditions exceeds 150 linear feet; 3) the project will involve impacts to wetlands; 4) the project involves the replacement of a bridge or spanning structure with a culvert or nonspanning structure in waters of the United States; or 5) the activity will be constructed during the trout waters moratorium (October 15 through April 15). Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
