I appreciate it Billy. I will get the stump grinding activity on everyone's radar, and still plan to
have a map of the utility lines in your hands sometime today. I hope you have an amazing
weekend.
Thank You,

Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks for the clarification regarding the utility line crossings. If you are only cutting
the trees and driving in the poles then the overhead line crossings will not require a
permit from the Corps. Please be advised that wood chips are considered fill material
per our regulations, so any stump grinding may require a permit if it would result in any
measurable fill.
Have a good weekend,

Good Morning Billy,
I hope you are doing well on this beautiful Friday. We plan to cut, but not clear the R/W
encompassing all of the utility lines.
I've attached correspondence, between SE1, Hart & Hickman, and Kyle Barnes regarding this
identical situation at Aulander Holloman and Knee Branch(near Ahoskie). On this other site, in which
a forested wetland was cut to install utility lines, we were told that, as long as we didn't stump, or
grind stumps below ground level, that the activity would not be considered permanent impacts. In
fact, because we were installing wooden utility poles(as we are doing at Albemarle Beach), we did
not have to document this activity.
Regardless, I have my engineer working on creating a map showing the utility line for your reference.
I will have it over to you today. The idea is that once these areas are cut, and the line is installed, that
the community of organisms will be able to remain and flourish, since there is minimum to no
maintenance required on the lines after installation. Only in cases of emergency will any access be
necessary.
Thank You,

Jeffrey,
It appears there are several areas where the overhead transmission line is crossing
through wetlands but I don't see anything within the PCN addressing those impacts.

Any permanent conversion of forested wetlands will need to be accounted for and
potentially mitigated for (see below). Please provide more information regarding the
overhead line crossings. If there are impacts associated with the overhead lines then
we would need to evaluate/authorize this project under NWP-12 and NWP-14.
NWP-12 Regional Condition
4.1.10 Any permanently maintained corridor along the utility right of way within
forested wetlands shall be considered a permanent impact. A compensatory mitigation
plan will be required for all such impacts associated with the requested activity if the
activity requires PCN and the cumulative total of permanent forested wetland impacts
exceeds 1/10-acre, unless the District Engineer determines in writing that either some
other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate or the adverse
effects of the proposed activity are minimal.
For permanent forested wetland impacts of 1/10-acre or less, the District Engineer may
determine, on a case -by -case basis, that compensatory mitigation is required to ensure
that the activity results in minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment.
Thank you,

Good Morning,
I hope you are both doing well today. Have you had a chance to review the submittal documents for
the Albemarle Beach PCN?
I appreciate your time.
