2) Stormdrainage will be discharged over the buffers-'and into the floodplain, in anon-erodible
manner. Natural forested areas have the capacity for colle 'ng and storing nutrients and the canopy
protects the soil from erosion. This will reduce erosion an pollutants coming from an area of more
intensive land use to a water body. The reduction of ez:,~:.r ;: pollutants will occur through natural
mechanisms such as deposition, in5ltration, adsorption, absorption, filtration, and decomposition. The
stormdrainage plan will be designed to avoid the need for tail-klitching to a stream.

Areas to be protected will be clearly marked to minimize the potential for unauthorized or
accidental disturbance.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing iltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from azardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not{ permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters.
As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification nditions, measures will betaken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact wi waters unfit the concrete has hardened.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require a~ ditional explanation. Thank you for your
consideration.
