4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
This project involves the repair of a prior authorized stream restoration. Due to extreme weather conditions since the project was constructed and the vulnerability of the channel and
streambanks post -restoration, some bank erosion has occurred. The channel has adjusted in some locations and is in need of additional repair to restore channel stability.

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
Unknown
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
3800
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to biostabilize eroding streambanks in several areas along 3800 linear feet of Cartoogechaye Creek to improve natural ecological conditions.
Cartoogechaye Creek within the property received restoration in a prior year, but continues to experience some streambank erosion on several meander bends. The watershed
drainage area for Cartoogechaye at the site is 38.1 square miles, consisting of mostly forest With some agricultural and low -density residential land uses. The land area surrounding the
proposed restoration project is primarily agriculture.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The stream will be enhanced and stabilized using natural channel design techniques and native vegetation to improve ecological conditions and streambank stability. The project will
provide a sustainable ecosystem with stable streambanks and natural riparian buffer. Along meanders that are migrating into the farm fields, five bioengineered structures will be
installed. These include boulder toe protection and vegetated soil lifts. Native riparian vegetation will be established to support long-term stream health. Disturbed areas will be seeded
with a temporary and native permanent cover. Native live stakes and trees Will be planted along the floodplain and in riparian areas. An improved ford crossing Will be installed in a riffle
section of the stream. The project will have a positive impact on the downstream surface waters by reducing sediment loading. Equipment Will include trackhoe excavators, loaders, and
track trucks for grading and structure installation.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Stream restoration is needed to achieve ecological objectives and enhance farm field protection along the stream reach and downstream. Impacts will
be minimized by maintaining as much as possible the existing stream channel and natural riparian buffer.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction impacts will be minimized by limiting in -channel work to low -flow conditions and temporarily diverting flow around the work zones.
Streambanks and other disturbed areas will be stabilized based on plans using a seed mix, straw mulch, and biodegradable erosion control mat.
Existing healthy stream buffers will be protected to the maximum extent possible.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
