Hello Dave,
I know we spoke about this project before you submitted the PCN, but in previous discussions I did not review the
proposed design carefully. Now that I have reviewed the application in detail, I require additional information to
complete my review of the application. Please address the items below within 30 days of receipt of this email. Please
note that the application will be considered "on hold" until a complete response is received.
1. The Division typically requires that work be conducted so that the flowing channel does not come in contact
with the work area in order to ensure protection of downstream water quality. Please explain how the channel
work will be completed to meet this requirement. We plan on using stone check dams and/or wattles. We are
also asking the contractor to have poly -plastic matting on -hand to use on the embankments during rain events
to help minimize erosion while construction is underway in this area.
2. The plans proposed for the channel to be restored using erosion control matting within the streambed. The
Division does not allow for matting within the streambed. Please revise the plans to show matting above the
normal water line. Will the Division allow the use of temporary matting to allow for any seeding to take
root? We've been to the site for various reasons and each time our guys are out there, that storm pipe is not
carrying water. We think it's fed just during storm events. The attached shows all the bio and photo degradable
mattings that meet design standards.
3. The impact table provided in the application indicates 203 feet of bank stabilization and 55 feet of culvert
extension. Since the proposed project involves excavation and reconstruction of the stream bed, please provide

an updated impact table showing the length of stream channel that is to be reconstructed as part of the
work. Any bank stabilization beyond the streambed reconstruction should be listed separately as bank
stabilization impacts. Understood but I'm not sure how to access the original PCN to make changes.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these items.
Thanks,
Sue Homewood (she/her/hers)
