Jason,
On June 5, 2012, I received your request to use NWP 23 to discharge fill material into
waters of the United States for the replacement of bridge number 47 over the Lumber River, in
Scotland and Hoke Counties. The application is currently incomplete and I need the following
information in order to process the authorization:
* What is temporary shoring?
* Will the wetland areas within the temporary detour area be grubbed or hand cleared prior to
the placement of fill? In many cases, temporary fills can have permanent adverse affects on
wetland areas, especially in the case where compaction is an issue. If the area within the
temporary detour will be grubbed, our authorization will likely include a condition that
requires tilling and /or deep ripping the areas to minimize the effects of compaction. If the
areas will be grubbed, please provide a restoration plan that includes the type and amount of
vegetation that will be planted. In either case, our authorization will be conditioned to
require visual monitoring to monitor the growth and composition of vegetation.
Please provide the following information within 30 days from the date of this
correspondence. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
