wetlands. Temnorarv impacts also include areas of disturbance necessarv for proper dewaterina measures and
any temporary erosion control measures expected to be installed within any jurisdictional areas. Please note
that temporary impacts should be minimized to the maximum extent practical. Please provide a restoration
detail, specifications, or note on the construction drawings that clearly indicate that all temporary impact areas
will be restored to pre-construction conditions. In addition, please ensure that the location of the temporary
impacts are shown on the construction drawings and clearly indicated in the revised impact table.
2. Per the requirements of GC 3821, all work must be done "in the dry". Therefore, dewatering methods will be
