Thank you for your PCN and attached information, dated 9/24/2020, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed
the information and need clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29
(http://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2017/2017NWP29.pdf). Please submit the requested information below (via e-mail
is fine) within 30 days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide
Permit or consider your application withdrawn and close the file:
1) There is a length of daylighted stream between the end of the existing 24" pipe and the existing 36"pipe near
the property line. This length of stream is proposed to be piped and must be included in the permanent stream
impact amount on section C.3 of the PCN;
2) Given that the proposed action proposes to place Stream SA into a larger stormwater drainage pipe network
where aquatic life passage is not possible, and in order to prevent headcutting upstream of the proposed
crossing, please re -design the proposed culvert pipe to be placed at -grade rather than buried —1 ft. Update the
PCN and plan and profile drawings accordingly;
3) Given recent USFWS concerns regarding suitable Schweinitz's sunflower and small whorled pogonia habitat,
please have a qualified environmental professional complete a pedestrian survey for these species within the
Corps ESA action area. In this case, the Corps ESA action area would be contained within a 100 foot radius of the
footprint of proposed impacts to waters of the US, including the currently proposed footprint and any revised
footprint if project plans are changed per item # 2 in my earlier email. Following the survey, please provide the
survey report to the Corps (copy also the USFWS) for review. Of course, if you do not believe that any suitable
habitat exists in the Action area for these species, please provide a justification so that the Corps could evaluate
the potential for a No Effect determination.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey
