Brad and Mike,
Could we get an extension to the deadline for responding to your questions for each of the three
PCNs (SAW 2021-01450 MEF facility, SAW 2023-00445 Parachute Tower Road culvert extension,
SAW 2007-03406 2nd Battalion Project)? This is needed for the designers to make changes and for
NAVFAC and base to have a chance to review.
Thanks for considering this!
Jessi

Jessi,
After a review of the subject application, I have some items that need to be either addressed or
clarified before processing may continue.
• The Base has traditionally used Bachelors Delight mitigation bank for their mitigation needs. Is
there a reason this bank can't be used, otherwise please use Bachelors Delight mitigation
bank for credit needs. Currently there is no attached reservation letter.
• Regarding minimization why can't this project use the existing crossing just downstream for
the access to the MEF site. Additionally, if the existing crossing is no longer necessary can
restoration at this location take place?
• There is no profile drawing of the stream but what justification is there for rip rap on both the
inlet and outlet? Also, there is no cross section drawing showing whether or not the rip rap
will be buried to stream bed elevation as stated in regional condition 8. If it will not be
justification will be necessary to waive this condition, please provide cross section drawings
showing the intent.
• Drawing CS 202 does not show the proposed pipe in the thalweg of the channel which would
conflict with regional condition 9 "The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above
and below the pipe or culvert should not be modified". Please provide better drawings overall
showing plan view, cross section, and as previously stated profile view to understand if
Regional Conditions have been met. Make sure to include the stream centerline on the profile
drawing.
• Dewatering is specified please show where these devices will be positioned on the profile
drawing.
If you have any questions about this correspondence, please let me know. The Corps will be
looking for a response within 3 weeks (Jan 23, 2024) otherwise the application will be withdrawn.
Thanks,
Brad
