Subject: Georgia Mills Plantation -Phase II
Dear Mr. Shadrix:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application fora 401 Water Quality Certification for
the subject project on September 12, 2006. Mr. Barry Love of this office reviewed the application and met with
the project engineer (Richard Franklin) at the site on November 21, 2006. Based on Mr. Love's review and the
site meeting, the following additional information was requested.
a) The impact, which was applied for (901inear feet) was found to be non jurisdictional (by this office)
upon the site visit. However, the U.S.A.C.E has the ultimate authority in these matters. Also, it is our
understanding that a culvert may be used instead of the proposed bridge over Shinns Creek, which was
listed as no impact. The application must be modified to reflect these changes with the proposed
length of impact listed.
b) Please provide detailed diagrams of the crossing of Shinns Creek if they are different from what was
initially proposed. These must include a longitudinal stream profile and cross-section. The design for
the permanent crossing should include efforts to maintain the base flow channel in the stream. Also,
the bottom of the culverts must be placed below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life.
c) Lots 23, 24, and 25 have a stream through the middle which may cause them to be unusable or require
driveway crossings. If driveway crossings are to be used at any time in the future, then these would be
considered cumulative impacts for the development, and therefore, these impacts must be applied for
now. Other lots with adjacent streams or wetlands will require deed notifications that no impact is
allowed.
