20211271 Ver 2_More Information Requested_20220509

Good afternoon,

I am beginning my review of the above referenced project, and in order to complete the review, some additional information is required:

1. DWR has received comments from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission regarding this project. For your convenience, I have attached a copy of the comments to this email, but they can
also be accessed in the project folder here: https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WaterResources/Browse.aspx?dbid=0&startid=2233313 . Please provide a response to these comments.
2. Please provide additional information on the necessity of having two fence crossings on Figure 2C. Fence Crossings #3 & #4 appear to be only about 75 feet apart. Please discuss avoidance
and minimization of impacts for these crossings. I am having a difficult time seeing it on the project design plans (see item 6 below).
3. Please provide additional information on the necessity of Fence Crossing #5. It appears that there is a fence on the other side of the Stream that is just outside of the buffer, and
that Fence Crossing #5 could be avoided. On sheet CS-101, it looks like the property line fence is not shown and is outside the Limits of Disturbance.
4. Please provide additional information on why Fence Crossing #10 cannot be moved or reconfigured to better avoid and minimize buffer impacts or avoided altogether. The Fence appears
to cross the stream multiple times, and there appears to be another fence on the other side of the stream outside of the buffer on sheet CS-104.
5. All of the buffer impact maps show the streams as straight lines, and do not indicate where the top of bank of the stream features are. The buffer rules are in effect for the first
50 feet from top of bank and move with the sinuosity of the stream, as shown on the project design plans (but they are at too large of a scale). Please revise the buffer impact maps
to indicate the top of banks of the streams.
6. “MATCHLINE SHEET” label appears on top of the requested impact area for impact area “1C” on all of the maps as it falls in the area between sheets CS-102 and CS-105. If I remember
correctly, I also asked about this area in my RFAI for Version 1. Please revise the plans to move the label so that it does not obscure the impact. I’m including a snip below to show
what I mean:

Thanks,
