NONE Linda and Steve, Thanks for your PCN and attached plans dated 12/22/2014, received 12/29/2014, for the above referenced project have reviewed the information and offer the following comments to be addressed before your application can be considered complete 1) The cover letter notes that impacts associated with the project include 0 096 acre of permanent impacts to wetlands However, the PCN lists wetland impact 3 as a temporary impact, which would reduce the amount of total permanent wetland impacts proposed to 0 079 acre. Which one is correct? 2) As described above, the PCN proposes 0.005 acre of permanent impacts to wetland 2, and 0 029 acre of temporary impacts to wetland 2. However, the PCN doesn't clearly describe what activity will result in temporary wetland impacts vs the permanent ones. Are the permanent impacts in wetland 2 related to perimeter road fill? If so, what will cause the temporary wetland impacts? Also, neither Figure 3 nor the plan sheets clearly show the break between temporary and permanent impacts to wetland 2. 3) Note that, if the PCN is correct and the use of Nationwide Permit 39 is verified for this project, than the total impacts for the T Z Osborne single and complete project (Package 1 -3) would include 0 084 acre of permanent wetland impacts. However, if, as the cover letter suggests all of the wetland impacts for Package 2 are permanent, then the total impacts for the T.Z. Osborne single and complete project (Package 1 -3) would include 0 101 acre of permanent wetland impacts; thus, per Nationwide Permit general condition 23(c), compensatory mitigation would be required in order to verify the use of NWP 39.
