4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinityof the project at the time of this application:*
This is a residential lot, with a 3 bedroom house. The lot has 124 feet of frontage on the New River.
Work vras done to stabilize the bank in 2015, with the New River Conservancy. The bank was planted with shrubs for stabilization. The shrubs did not hold the bank during flood events.
We have lost several feet of bank since the planting. It is only during flooding events that we lose the soils on the bank.

0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project will be to stabilize the river bank and stop or reduce soils lost during flooding.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Our plan is to haul large rocks, 0.5-2.0 foot diameter, to within 20 feet of the bank of the river. The rock will be hauled on a single axle dump truck. No rock will be dumped directly into
the river. The rock will be placed on the river bank, starting at the bottom and working to the top, using a track hoe or back hoe. Each rock will be individually placed to minimize and
potential disturbance to the rive bank.
Over the next 3 years native shrubs will be planted between the rocks. This would include shrubs such as blueberry.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
