Attached is the EEP acceptance letter for the above referenced project; a
application package was sent last week: please see that it finds its way to
the rest of the file. I propose that we use the EEP acceptance to cover the
mitigation need for the dam and use the submitted mitigation plan for the
flooding. Under this scenario, I would suggest that the project could be
permitted and commence sooner since the hard impacts are immediately
mitigated. As explained in the cover letter, there will be the "art" part
or the re-sculpting of the existing golf course and because of this we want
to delay the final design until the sculpting is completed. Also, by
holding the mitigation for the flooding to the last phase we will be able to
ensure that this work can be done with the least exposure to sediment from
the other construction activities. Regardless, I expect that a final
mitigation plan be approved by at least the Corps since it is our experience
that DWQ does not require mitigation for flooding.
Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions that you may have
regarding this project, I can be reached at 336 / 406-0906
