Prospectus Review and Comments
Wayne County
DWR #14 -0189
Dear Ms. Greer:
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has reviewed the above- referenced document, dated January 2014. Our
comment is as follows:
• Wetland Restoration: DWR has concerns regarding the statement on Page 13 of the Prospectus . which
states a permanent grade control. structure will be installed at the downstream end of the project to
control the water elevation on the site. Please provide additional information as to why a permanent .
grade control structure is required. The DWR.discourages.the use of permanent structures (e.g. earthen
berms and water controls structures) to achieve and maintain site hydrology.
Please feel free to contact Eric Kulz at (919) 807 -6476 if you have :any questions regarding this project or our
comments.
cerely,
Robert Tankard, Assistant Regional Supervisor
