All,

Thank you for your PCN, dated 11/5/2021, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need
clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 (https://saw-
reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2017/2017NWP14.pdf). Please submit the requested information below (via e‐mail is fine)
within 30 days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide Permit or
consider your application withdrawn and close the file:

1) Thank you for your inclusion of floodplain benches in the design for this project. Please provide additional
details on the floodplain benches, including the material make-up (stream bed material? rip rap? mixture?) and
stabilization measures (coir fiber matting?) of the bench itself, as well as a planting plan for the bench;
2) Please note that the Corps would require compensatory mitigation for the permanent stream impacts resulting
in a loss of waters, including Impacts S2 and S3 in this case (119 linear feet), as well as the main flow channel
realignment on the west side of SR 2670; please calculate the impacts currently listed as bank stabilization for
the portion of Impact S1 on the west side of SR 2670. The compensatory mitigation requirement for these three
impact types will be set at 2:1 (mitigation to impact ratio) unless otherwise justified based on aquatic resource
functional quality (typically documented by NCSAM). Note that compensatory mitigation is not typically required
for bank stabilization impacts limited to the banks where channel realignment is not required (e.g. the portion of
Impact S1 on the east side of SR 2670).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Dave Bailey
