Hi Kevin and Shannon,
Could you please respond as to whether you want to withdraw the application since it was not necessary. Or if you want
me to go ahead and process it since you sent it in?
Thanks.

Thanks.
So would you like to withdraw the 401 application since the project sounds like it will qualify for coverage under the
General Certification?

Sue:
You are correct, the proposed project involves replacement of an existing deteriorated culvert. The replacement
culvert pipe will be the same diameter (48") and length (88 LF) as the existing pipe. The footage reported in the
application (94 LF) included the pipe itself plus a concrete endwall on each end of the pipe. The existing pipe does not
have endwalls, so the differential length (6 LF) would be a new permanent impact.
Let us know if you need anything additional. Thanks!

Hello Keith/Shannon,
I looked over the application for this project and I'm not sure it would trigger the need for DWR written
approval/individual certification.
• It appears to be only a culvert replacement/maintenance with no other utility changes, is that correct? If so,
then I believe it would be covered under the NWP3, and doesn't need the NWP 58 that you listed on the ePCN.
• You listed the impacts as 94 ft in length, but based on the other recently project we discussed, I believe this may
be the total length of the stream including what's in the existing pipe. Can you clarify if there will be any NEW,
PERMANENT impacts. This would include if you are lengthening the pipe for safer shoulders/sidewalks or new
riprap dissipater at the outlet? If so, can you specify what that NEW, PERMANENT, length would be. We don't
count the stream that's in the pipe now as impact length.
• If the above assumptions are correct, then it would appear that the project would be able to meet the
conditions of General Certification #4239 and wouldn't trigger any of the thresholds on Page 2 of that GC. If that
is the case, you could request that DWR withdraw the application as it can be conducted under the GC. If you
prefer for me to continue with a formal review please let me know.
As you submit future applications, please include a plan sheet to show the activities proposed. I recently requested this
for the Blessing Drive project and what you submitted was perfect. If you could submit that with future application it
would avoid the step of me asking for it. Thank you.
