Subject: RE: Little Troublesome Revised PCN form
Sorry about the mix up on UT4, there was some miscommunication on where the centerline should be and where the
channel stopped and started. The downstream 130 If will be impacted as a result of the channel construction, as is
evident on the plan set; see further revised PCN. The remaining upstream 42 If will be left alone and this area will be
planted along with the rest of the riparian areas. This 42 feet is largely located within the existing wetland and the
channel makes a 90-degree turn and straight lines to Irvin Creek.
As for the wetland enhancements; all temporary impacts will be the result of adjacent stream grading and these areas
will be further planted with native riparian vegetation. These areas will most-likely receive further hydrologic
enhancement as a result of raising the water table from the elevated stream bed and from overbank flows. No
enhancement "structures" (ie-graded depressions, swales, etc.) are being proposed for these areas if that's what you
were wondering about.

Thanks Matt, I'm still talking to some Central Office folks to make sure I write the permit correctly. I have 2 follow-up
questions for you. What portion of UT4 is being temporarily impacted/enhanced? I don't see it on the plans, I only see
the filled section. And for Wetland BB and Wetland CC, you call out enhancement to portions of them, how are they
being enhanced? Thanks.

Hi Sue,
I've attached a revised PCN form for Little Troublesome Creek, showing the revised permanent and temporary impacts.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. We just got the 404 from Andy, so this should be the last
piece of the puzzle we'll need for everything.
Thanks again for all your time on this!

The primary goal for the project is to reclaim the natural and beneficial functions of the floodplain and stream channel
within Little Troublesome Creek and Irvin Creek through enhancement and restoration activities. As well as improve
terrestrial wetland habitat adjacent to Little Troublesome Creek through enhancement and creation activities.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Grading and planting bank slopes with native riparian species, excavation of new channel and floodplain, excavation of
