Please give a brief project description below.*

This is a road widening for economic development at this property.
The two timber bridges will not be widened at this time. The wetland
impact will be road slope fill into an area adjacent to Crab Creek
(road widening to the other side of the road is not possible due to
resistance from the land owner on that side) that has traditionally
been trampled down by cattle to access crab creek as a watering
source.
This is a low quality wetland due to its nature and being previously
under -drained by the farmer and the cattle intrusion.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
4/13/2021

Please attach the documentation you would like to have the meeting about.
