Canoe Creek. The proposed new structure is to be built at the location of the existing structure
with an offsite detour during construction. There is a proposed 0.05 acre of permanent fill in
wetlands associated with this project.. In addition, there will be 0.01 acre of temporary surface
water impacts associated with the installation of riprap. Riprap will be used to stabilize the outlet
of a wetland created for on-site mitigation purposes.
