Subject: Mair Driveway - questions
Hi there Joel -
I'm reviewing the Mair Driveway application and I have a few questions/comments on the application-
• Note that the pdf has text written over text, making certain fields illegible (this happened with your last
PCN, too, I believe)
• The impacts tables show 0.2 acre of wetland (is this a mistake?) and S1 as 20 ft of impact on a 149 ft
wide stream. The application notes 149' total impacts, but the description describes removal of a 20'
culvert, installation of a new 20' culvert plus headwalls (would there be additional impact for these?),
and 60' of impact for streambank stabilization. Can you clarify the impact numbers?
• The project description notes that you'll use native permanent seeding but Figure 1 notes the use of Tall
Fescue and Bermudagrass, both of which are highly invasive — these should not be used in the riparian
area. Can you clarify about seeding in the riparian area?
Thank you,
Andrea
