Basically, if the only thing that changes is the number in the table, send a cover letter stating the change, a copy of the
NEW table and the new culvert/site diagram. I would think everything else is the same.
Send copy to Raleigh and let them know you sent a copy to me
Thanks

Perfect! Thanks Alan...that shouldn't be a problem. Should I re-submit copies to Raleigh or send straight to you?

Sure. But again, minimize to the extent practicable. And if you can keep out the rip rap, that is a plus
Thanks

Hey Alan... In order to stay under the 1501f threshold, the engineer designed a larger headwall that would have likely
caused NCDOT reviewers to raise some questions. In light of the mitigation requirement, are you comfortable with us
revising the permit and requesting slightly more linear footage in order to comply with NCDOT standards?

I am going to assume that you will leave the impact at 150 ft and request notification/acceptance from EEP letter for the
file prior to issuing.

Regarding mitigation, it may be that this is consider a "linear transportation project" and I know the corp requires
mitigation for almost every NCDOT project, regardless of impact amount.

Amanda...is there any guidance supporting this that specifically states the mitigation requirement? I was given a permit
a number of years ago by Steve Chapin and mitigation wasn't an issue. I'll just need something in order to explain to my
project manager and the client why additional fees are necessary.
Thanks,

Chris,
I've spoken with Liz and taken some time to review past permits for similar type work with the same applicant. We've
consistently required mitigation for permanent impacts/losses to waters of the U.S. for road widening/extension related
projects where impacts are<150 linear feet of stream channel and/or>0.10 acre of wetlands. We've also notified
CDOT/E&PM of this requirement but it doesn't appear that this is being passed down to the consultants that they are
using to submit their permit applications. I will work on remedying this issue in the near future.
With that said,we will require mitigation for the permanent impacts associated with this project (150 linear feet). Given
the poor quality of the stream channel, a 1:1 ratio is acceptable. Please provide information as to how the applicant will
mitigate for the impacts (i.e. NCEEP and/or City of Charlotte Umbrella Bank). I will need an acceptance letter from either
stating that they have credit available before I can issue the permit. Until we receive this information,the application is
on hold.
I'm out of the office the rest of the week until Friday if you have any questions,thanks.
