I am attaching a copy of the revised impact table provided to me by the design engineers. Per your request, I am also attaching pages eight and nine of the PCN form. The pages have been changed to reflect the impacts listed on the table. Thanks for all your help. Give me a call if you have any questions.

Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: To utilize upland areas on the site. roads are proposed to impact wetlands in nine places. Total wetland impacts equa10.471 acres. 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property; 218.59 acres 4. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. To calculate acreage. multiply length X wirlth_ then rlivirle by 4~ Shy Stream Impact Number (indicate on ma) Stream Name Type of Impact Perennial or Intermittent? Average Stream Width Before Im act Impact Length (linear feet) Area of Impact (acres) N/A Total Stream Impact (by length and acreage) 5. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.). Open water impacts include, but are not limited to fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads. etc. Open Water Impact Site Number (indicate on ma) Name of Waterbody (if applicable) Type of Impact Type of Waterbody (lake, pond, estuary, sound, bay, ocean, etc.) Area of Impact (acres) N/A Total Open Water Impact (acres) 4. List the cumulative impact to all Waters of the U.S. resulting from the nroiect: Stream Im act (acres): N/A Wetland Im act (acres): 0.471 O en Water Im act (acres): N/A Total Im act to Waters of the U.S. (acres) 0.471 Total Stream Im act (linear feet): N/A 5. Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 6. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ®uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: woodland Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A I. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The applicant and design professionals have worked hard to limit wetland impacts and still achieve the purpose of the project. The current design has excluded portions of upland from proposed development, thereby substantially reducing_the footprint of wetland impacts associated with roadway crossings. Additionally bridges will be used at proposed roadway crossings to minimize the construction footprint. Drawings of the bridges are included with this application illustrate the construction design.
