This application can be confusing, after the original approval of 401 and 404 was granted, at the last minute DOT required a larger culvert which slightly increased our impacts. Stephanie said we couldn't revise the original approval and had to submit a new stand alone application independent of the originally approved application . In this application we are requesting 0.011 acre permanent wetland impact and 0.077 acre temporary wetland impact for the installation of the larger culvert. Chris has approved the NW29 for this project PCN. Construction has already started on some of the work approved in the previous submission. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any more questions. thanks Wyatt On Mon, Nov 29, 2021 at 4:45 PM Cohn, Colleen M <colleen.cohn@ncdenr.gov> wrote: Good afternoon Wyatt, I am reviewing the above referenced project, and in order to complete my review, some additional information is required: 1. Has the US Army Corps of Engineers verified the use of NWP 29 for these additional impacts? 2. Has construction begun on the original impacts? 2 3. Is the requested 0.077 ac of temporary impacts in addition to the previously authorized 0.088 acres of temporary impacts? Or is this a change of 0.011 acres from temporary to permanent impacts? An impact map that lists total impacts for both versions 1 and 2 would be helpful.
