Emily,
In speaking with Ed, he installed an outfall ditch for the pond back in December or January.
The attached map depicts, in green, the approximate location of the rerouted ditch, which
runs into the larger ditch that bisects the property. With that said, can we use the
rerouted ditch as mitigation for unauthorized fill?
Thanks a bunch,
Dana

Dana,
The plans I have do not show a pipe and that was part of my initial confusion upon reviewing
the permit. A culvert seems necessary to maintain the drainage from the pond; simply filling
the tributary would have the effect of an impoundment and would cause overflow of the pond.
Since both the pond and the tributary are considered jurisdictional waters of the U.S., it is
necessary that the fill does not disrupt the circulation and flow of water.
As our Nationwide Permits state, "the following General Conditions must be followed in order
for any authorization by a NWP to be valid ":
8. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water,
adverse effects to the aquatic system due to accelerating the passage of water, and /or
restricting its flow must be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the pre- construction course,
condition, capacity, and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity,
including stream channelization and storm water management activities, except as provided
below. The activity must be constructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must
not restrict or impede the passage of normal or high flows, unless the primary purpose of the
activity is to impound water or manage high flows. The activity may alter the pre -
construction course, condition, capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits the
aquatic environment (e.g., stream restoration or relocation activities).
As an alternative, if Mr. Burnett does not wish to install a culvert, he may revise his plans
to relocate the tributary.
Thank you,
Emily

Emily,
I believe I addressed everything in your letter dated 24 July 2013 within the PCN, except for
the 198 linear feet of culvert that you state needs to be installed in accordance with the
verified plans. I have looked the plans over and do not see where a pipe was proposed for
this area. If you have plans or other docs that show the culvert, please email them to me.
Thanks a bunch.
