Hi Ashley,
In the Buffer Impact Table provided on the PCN, the Impact Types are listed as "Allowable Upon Authorization". I don't
have enough information to separate out what falls under streambank stabilization and what falls under one of the
utility items. If any impacts to regulated riparian buffers require a Buffer Authorization from the State (anything other
than "Deemed Allowable" when the State is the designated authority), then written approval is required for the 401 per
GC4132.

Hey Dave, I wanted to check in on this since it had been awhile. I have cc'ed Colleen so that she may be able to weigh in.
Colleen, just to confirm, you are aware that we are not applying for written approval for a general certification since this
is an emergency action to repair the utility line, right? According to Stephanie, we only require authorization for buffer
impacts to reduce erosion from the adjacent property. Thanks, everyone!

Ashley — I think that is likely what we need to do. I'll discuss internally with our team and get back with you.
Thanks,

Dave, since Stephanie is no longer available to review this permit, it is now being reviewed by someone less familiar with
the project. I'm not sure what the easiest way to adjust the impact exhibit would be to address her comments (below),
but perhaps have one page with stream impacts and another with buffer impacts?

I need something that clearly shows buffer impacts and stream impacts. From that map, it looks like stream impacts are
included in the buffer impacts, and I don't understand what the blue outline signifies. Are any temporary stream impacts
anticipated with this project?

Colleen, attached is the impact exhibit from the permit which depicts the site plans. Do you need something more
generalized?

Walter,
I am beginning my review of the above referenced project, and in order to complete the review, some additional
information is required:
1. Could you please send me the plans for this project? No plans were attached to the application.
