Thank you for the phone conversation and for the information in this email.  

Below is a summary of the project impacts discussed over the phone: 
Proposed impacts related to return water discharge:  10 linear feet.  
Proposed impacts related to dredging:  5,000 linear feet. 
Please provide a correction if these values are not correct. 

Further, a berm was recommended for the Yadkin River location. As this location is along the Catawba River, berms 
within the Catawba buffer zone are not recommended. Please maintain a undisturbed buffer as detailed within the 
plans received with your application. 

Please do not hesitate to as any questions.  

Thank you,

Subject: Sand Dredge- Yadkin River

You state that you will be dredging approximately 5000 linear feet of the river. How is
this to be conducted? Section at a time (a phased approach, so to speak)?

The dredging will be hydraulically from a barge. Yes it will be periodic and systemic over time.   

I assume the discharge will be from a skimmer?
Correct  

How will turbidity from the activity be controlled/minimized? Turbidity curtains, or
other measures?

Turbidity is really non‐existent in the dredging process because it is hydraulically dredged.  Sucked up from the bottom 
and dewatered and treated on high ground.  We always monitor for turbidity, but have never had an issue.  The 
wastewater is treated through a series of upland stilling basins and outleted as noted above with a top water skimmer.  

There should be defined access points and a defined buffer between the operation
area and the river. Based on the aerial photo, this doesn’t appear to be the case
(though indicated on the plan) allowing indiscriminate runoff/erosion/sediment to the
river. A berm, as shown below, or super silt fence may be appropriate. Thanks, Alan

Good idea on the berm and we are happy to incorporate that as a condition of the permit. Would you like me to update 
the plans or can you just make that a condition? 

Thanks 

Derek
