4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
Unnamed tributary to Toby Creek. This water has severe erosion from existing stormwater discharge. The project will improve the stormwater drainage to reduce runoff velocity and
provide bank stabilization using natural stream channel restoration techniques.

4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
300
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to improve a perennial stream by removing abandoned stormwater infrastructure to restore a naturally stable stream bank and installing a velocity dissipator
to stabilize an existing storm drainage outfall. A total of 95 linear feet of stream bank will be stabilized.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
See attached plans.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation O

1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The bank stabilization area is minimized to the most severely eroded section of the stream bank.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
See attached plans for construction detail notes. All channel work will be performed 'in the dry' out of stream either by pump -around or stream diversion
with silt curtain. Bank stabilization will use toe wood and coir fiber matting with live stakes and cuttings.
