Hi Gary
Thanks for your comments. Robb Mairs performed a stream determination during an on site
meeting with Paul in April of 2021. He called the streams almost all the way up to the
northern portion of the site (see attached). When I filled out the PCN, the plan was to submit
this as a NWP 29 under the new conditions, which allowed impacts up to 0.05 acre of stream.
Then the NWP 29 was suspended and I changed this one to a NWP 14, completely forgetting
about the 300 LF cap. Sorry about that. Have you guys received any information about the
status of NWPs? If not, I'll get back to my client to see how he wants to proceed.
I'll also work on a response to the RCW Slopes comment.
Thanks!
Kim

Kim,
Below are my review notes for the Canon Tract NWP 14 Application Request:
USACE Project ID:

SAW-2020-01466
Total projected 404 wetland impacts = 0.13 acres (mitigation = 0.2 acres)
Total project stream impacts = 454 LF (mitigation = 454 LF)
The NWP 14 & NWP 29 both cap out at 300 LF of stream impacts (unless waived by the
Corps). Are these impacts all in "Streams" or are some of them in Jurisdictional ditches?
I've attached the wetland delineation that shows some of the open water tributaries are
ditches that flow into streams. I've also attached the proposed site map.
RCW Slopes:
This project is located within potential RCW habitat and foraging area, so the RCW slopes
test will have to be done on this site. Since the crossings and impacts are scattered
throughout the site, the entire project site should be reviewed for RCW habitat. (see
enclosed RCW Slopes document) There are also (2) listed Natural Heritage Sites either on
this site or just off the property. (Cannon Tract Reg Viewer map)
Respectfully,
Gary
