Hi Joey,
Thank you for looking into this. Below are a few comments to your previous email.
1. The most recent aerial photo shows (taken March of this year) the site aŌer emergency erosion control work
was completed as part of the remedial acƟon plan referenced in the NOVs issued by DWR, USACE and Haywood
Co. Erosion Control Department’s. So the sediment basin shown, and “new” stream was only placed there
temporarily due to the old pond being blown out by the flood, in addiƟon to; no one (DWR, USACE, Haywood
Co.) desired a pond to be placed back. It has been our understanding from previous meeƟngs and most current,
that all parƟes agreed that the old pond was an open water impact only and no miƟgaƟon was required;
therefore, this is why no pipe measurement was accounted for within the extents of the former pond. Below is
a screenshot of the site pre TS Fred.
2. It is our understanding that the culvert was installed at (or as close to) the Ɵme of the course opening in 1968. I
have edited the Historical Impact Assessment report (page 9 of 23 aƩached) to reflect a more defined date.
3. Hopefully 1 & 2 above clear up pipe in quesƟon.
Please let us know if you need anything further to complete your review. Thanks again,

Hi Preston,
I have some quesƟons and need some more informaƟon about the revised plans, please let me know if you have any
quesƟons about it.
1. The revised PCN Stream Impact Table doesn’t include the proposed impact for piping the stream within the
extents of the former pond. From my understanding of our meeƟng last month, the sediment basin (red circle
3
below) is considered non‐jurisdicƟonal but the stream within the extents of the former pond (green line below)
is considered a jurisdicƟonal stream. The revised PCN Stream Impact Table includes an impact to Open Water 1
for the sediment basin but provides no measurement for the stream within the extents of the former pond.
2. Impact P in the Historical Impacts Assessment says that it was installed as a Tropical Storm Fred Replacement. Is
there an impact that predates TS Fred and the exisƟng culvert was a replacement, or was this a new impact aŌer
TS Fred? If there was an exisƟng impact, do you know when it occurred?
3. The impacts detailed in the Historical Impacts Assessment, along with the proposed new impacts for stream
piping, will cause the need for miƟgaƟon. The important date is June 1, 2000, aŌer which the Division started
requiring miƟgaƟon for projects of this type impacƟng streams of this classificaƟon. All impacts aŌer this date
will be counted towards the miƟgaƟon threshold and will require miƟgaƟon if the threshold is exceeded. I’ve
included a table below that should help.
