Mr. Carpenter,
Thank you for your response. I have reviewed the document you submitted to us on 9/3/2020, and the Corps is
generally in agreement with your proposal. We concur with the additional information provided and plan revisions made
for Compliance Sites 1, 4, and 5, and appreciate you including the guidance of an Environmental Engineer from
Wildlands Engineering and Central Carolina Seeding.
I will add one clarification for Compliance Sites 1 and 4:
The Corps agrees with the proposal proceed with the work as soon as weather conditions allow and to plant "wetland
sedge plugs at a density of 2ft on center along the soil lifts and along the streambanks of the restored channel." In
addition, for long term stability of these sites and to most effectively restore these stream reaches to pre -disturbance
conditions, live stakes of appropriate native species should also be planted between November 15Y and March 15t
Further, for all live stakes planted at all sites:
Given native species range, use silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) live stakes instead of red osier dogwood (Cornus
sericea).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

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 1' 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
