Mr. Carpenter,
Thank you for your response letter and coordination efforts to resolve non-compliance items related to the subject
Department of the Army (DA) permit (SAW-2018-00240). Having reviewed your letter and referenced plans, I am
providing the following responses regarding each Compliance Site originally listed in my email dated 7/2/2020:
Compliance Site 1: The Corps is generally agreeable to your proposal to leave the check dam in place at its current
location until the site has reached a more stabilized state. However, we require the following additional information:
1) Your letter does not specify whether you propose to restore the stream to pre -grading conditions, or request
consideration via after -the -fact permitting to stabilize the site in a different state. Please provide this
information, including the timeframe for submitting a specific restoration plan (including a completion date) or
after -the -fact permitting request;
Compliance Sites 2 and 3: no further action required from the Corps.
Compliance Site 4: The Corps is generally agreeable to your proposal to "complete the re -work in this area." It is our
understanding that you will restore the stream to pre -grading conditions, and that you require 3-4 days of suitable
weather conditions to complete the work. However, we require the following additional information:
1) Please provide the "as built" survey of the fill slope for this area, showing the reach of stream impacted outside
of permitted limits;
2) Please provide a specific restoration plan (including an estimated completion date), including how you propose
to return the area to pre -grading conditions (i.e. grade and contour), and how you plan to stabilize the area
using native vegetation and/or natural channel design structures;
Compliance Site 5: The Corps is generally agreeable to your stream and wetland restoration proposal in this area.
However, we require the following additional information/considerations:
1) We are concerned about the highly erodible nature of soils in the proposed work area. Have you considered
whether or not the proposed sill structures are appropriate/sufficient to prevent the stream/water from simply
working around the structures?
2) The last (i.e. most downstream) structure shows a —2' drop into the receiving steam. Typically we would not
expect more than a V vertical drop between structures and/or the receiving stream bed in this region. Could the
restoration plan be amended to accommodate this shorter vertical drop?
3) Please provide an estimated completion date;
Compliance Site 6: no further action required from the Corps.
Please provide the above requested information within 2 weeks of the date of this email, and let me know if you have
any questions.

Sincerely,
Dave Bailey
