a. Construction of the project as described in the mitigation plan;
b. Site inspection conducted by US Army Corps of Engineers.
The Nationwide Permit 27 verification for this project, issued on October 20, 2010, requires
that as-built plans must be provided within 60 days of completion of the authorized work. The
final as-built plan was provided on April 21, 2011. Based on the site inspection, review of the
as-built plans, and your letter dated April 20, 2011, we have determined that the total stream
mitigation units (SMUs) at the site is 4,487, which is 31 less than the 4,518 SMUs projected in
the approved mitigation plan and MBI. As such, the credits released upon completion of Task 2,
will be adjusted to account for the difference between the projected amount in the
MBI/mitigation plan and the as-built plans.
