Hi Kelsey,
Hope your doing good. I was just checking in to see when you think I might be receiving the buffer authorization letter
from your office?

this deck for...). And I want to confirm the 6sq ft of buffer impact for the
authorization form.
Best,

Hi Kelsey,
Thank you again for all the help! Below I have provided all the
information you requested in our previous phone conversation.
I met with Joshua Brigham with the state prior to moving the house on
the lot. I had a plot plan with the house on it however there were no
decks/porches on the plot plan. I built the side deck (the one that's
potentially encroaching) 4'x8' with treated lumber. The deck only goes
into the riparian buffer roughly 4 to 6 square feet.
Let me know if you need any more information!

2. The Impacts Table in Section C (Proposed

calculate the square footage of the porch in
the buffer zone and include it in the buffer
impact table.
3. Please include more information in the

this activity was submitted for a buffer
