Subject: Permit Mod for Neighbors Branch - Walton Crawley Branch - McDowell Co. (10 -0123)
Hey Chuck:
I looked this over and it looks good with the exception of Table 2, which indicates four years of monitoring rather than
five. Can you please include the following conditions in the 401 Mod:
Monitoring: Mitigation monitoring for the project will be at least five years, and not four as indicated in Table 2 of the
mitigation plan.
Mitigation Credit: Approval of the restoration plan and issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification means that DWQ
has determined that the proposed activity will not remove or degrade significant existing uses of the surface water (15A
NCAC 2H .0506(a)). The issuance does not represent an approval of credit yield for the project.
