That makes sense. No need for the entire project to be covered by DSSW—just that particular catchment draining to the
CA.

Thanks Dave. We aren’t impacting the UT to Abbots that flows into the lake. We will however be
disturbing ground in that area. I would like to propose DSSW only in the disturbed area that is draining
to the section of the Abbots Creek that is classified as the Critical area. Would you be opposed to
that? Thanks!

According to JDs, there is a small catchment associated with SA that drains to the water supply
critical area (CA) of Abbots Creek. That is why we mentioned DSSW vs. 303(d) listing per
Scoping comments. I suppose if DOT does not intend to impact that particular catchment, then
DSSW requirement is moot.

Duly noted that an application is soon to arrive.

Let me know if you need anything else on this.

Dave,

In your scoping request for R-5737 in Davidson County, you requested DSSW for the project based on
the 303d listing for fish communities associated with Rich Fork Creek. I looked up the TMDL for Rich
Fork to see if there was discussion in the TMDL related to construction impacts (i.e. turbidity) that is
2

contributed to the poor fish community listing. All I can find on the DWR website is the TMDL
associated with fecal coliform related issues. Since there appear to be no issues associated with
construction related activities, do we still need to meet DSSW for the project?

Also, this email serves to notify you of the intent to submit a permit application soon.

Thanks!
