Good afternoon Colleen,
I hope your weekend was great. In regards to your previous email, I have attached an updated SOA for the correct
private bank within our HUC for the buffer mitigation. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you,

Quick question,
The site is in the Upper Falls Lake Watershed, but it looks like the Buffer Mitigation bank is outside of the Falls Lake
Watershed. Can you please double check this?

Apologies for the delayed response. I must have mentally replied without typing the email.
The Coir 700 matting appears to be an acceptable alternative as it does not contain polypropylene.
I'm working on finishing up my review today.

Colleen,
Thank you for reviewing our response and information so timely. I forwarded your request of additional information to
the team and below I am providing the responses to your questions.
1. The matting has polypropylene. Matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic twine should not be used
along streambanks or within wetlands.
This is a solution that the engineers are discussing, to include the McAdams engineering team and Patrick Smith
of our office. Coir 700 matting, which is a robust material that is heavy enough to withstand heavy stream flow
but also allows for vegetation to grow through it and no poly fibers (see attached). Please let us know if this is
an acceptable solution.
2. Please provide additional details as to why the SCM is discharging directly to the wetland. It seems like it is being
piped a long way from the closest SCM.
Please see the below snippet with the engineers response to the SCM discharge and it's discharge location at
the wetland, adjacent to the designed culvert crossings. Additionally, the Stormwater Management Plan has
been reviewed and approved by Durham however the pdf file is rather large, I will send via the DWR Project
Submittal Interim Form portal.

This is the only location we have to outlet the flow from the wet detention
basin outside of the wetland. The normal pool of the pond is 1-ft lower than
the stream invert at this theoretical outlet location which made the location
infeasible. The normal pool of the pond can not be raised, because it would
back up water into the low point of the road crossing in larger storm events.
To increase the elevation of the roadway lowpoint would require pushing the
retaining walls/fill slopes outward and creating more open water/wetland
impact. We are extremely tight on the critical elevations including the
roadway low point, the normal pool of the pond, and the outfall location as
currently designed.
It is also our opinion that placing the pond outlet adjacent to the culvert will
provide the lowest impact to the wetland in terms of flow and velocity
increases, because the flow coming from that pipe will be minuscule
compared to the flow in the culvert, particularly in large storm events.

Colleen,
Please see our responses and the information provided by the project engineer.
1. Please provide additional information such as product specifications on the permanent turf reinforcement mats
proposed in In impact 8. What materials are these mats made of?
The proposal for the matting would involve a product similar to the attached, they are designed so that
after they are vegetated they become grown over and are no longer visible.
2. Can you please provide some additional information on the area I've circled in blue from the Impact 8 maps
(below)? I'm not sure I am understanding. There is a lot going on in this area.
Please see the below snippet with the engineers response regarding the pipe that you circled in your request for
more information.
