Please give a brief project description below.*

The Nesbit Stream & Wetland Mitigation Site (hereafter referred to as the
"Site") encompasses 18.0 acres of agricultural row crops along warm
waters of Glen Branch and unnamed tributaries to Glen Branch. The Site is
located within the Catawba River Basin in 14-digit United States Geological
Survey (USGS) Cataloging Unit and Targeted Local Watershed
03050103030030 of the South Atlantic/Gulf Region (North Carolina
Division of Water Resources [NCDWR] subbasin number 03-08-38). The
Site includes 5124 linear feet of degraded stream channel (based on the
approved PJD), 2.45 acres of degraded wetland, 6.57 acres of drained
hydric soil. Site restoration activities include the construction of a
meandering E/C-type stream channel, resulting in 4801 linear feet of
Priority I stream restoration, 316 linear feet of stream enhancement (Level
1), 541 linear feet of stream enhancement (Level 11), 5.338 acres of riparian
wetland re-establishment, and 1.789 acres of riparian wetland
rehabilitation.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
