Kevin,
Thank you for checking. You are probably aware that a number of the conservation practices are now considered
exempt under an MOU signed by USACE /MRCS /EPA on 25 March 2014 (see attached). However, none of the practices
you listed are exempt. So, we will continue processing the permit. I just wanted to check, prior to starting work on the
application.
Please give me a call if you have any questions. I will try to look it over to determine if it is complete within the next
week or so.

Andy-
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, the project is using the following MRCS Practice Standards:
548 - Channel Bed Stabilization
580 - Streambank and Shoreline Protection

342 - Critical Area Planting
Yes, the plans have been reviewed and approved by the MRCS folks in Surry County (Rick Bailey - District Conservationist,
and Greg Goings - NRCS Technician), as well as Jake Stokes (MRCS Engineer in the Waynesville office). It has been
primarily Jake's responsibility to review for compliance with NRCS standards, and he has approved the plans that you
received. I've listed contact information below in case you need to contact any of these gentlemen.
Jake Stokes - jake.stokes @nc.usda. ov - 828 - 456 -6341 ext4 or ext109 Rick Bailey - rick.J.bailey @nc.usda.gov - 336 -386-
