Good Afternoon Mitchell,
Thank you again for your input and timely site visit to the AB Tech Haith Branch and Gulley Restoration Site. Based on
our discussion at the site visit, I have adjusted the following items originally submitted in the ePCN Supporting
Documentation package.
1. Shift UT1 stream start point upstream to where oxidized iron was observed.
The new stream classification point was marked in the field with a GPS and adjusted in the Figure 3 Delineation
Map along with new stream lengths. Coordinates were updated on the NCDWQ forms. New stream lengths and
coordinates were updated in the PJD Form. Impacts have been adjusted on the Figure 5 Aquatic Resource Impact
Map. Wildlands will ensure any stormwater catchments are constructed outside of the adjusted jurisdictional
features.
Shift UT2 stream start point upstream to where hydrology features remained strong in the channel.
The new stream classification point was marked in the field with a GPS and adjusted in the Figure 3 Delineation
Map along with new stream lengths. Coordinates were updated on the NCDWQ forms. New stream lengths and
coordinates were updated in the PJD Form. Impacts have been adjusted on the Figure 5 Aquatic Resource Impact
Map. Wildlands will ensure any stormwater catchments are constructed outside of the adjusted jurisdictional
features.
3. Call out channels above jurisdictional stream features as a stormwater conveyance.
The channels were labeled as stormwater conveyance in Figure 3 Delineation Map. In reference to the comments
received via email on 1122124, items 2-5 will not apply moving forward because the upper channel was not
deemed potentially jurisdictional.
Additionally, the designers minimally adjusted the Limits of Disturbance (LOD) from 4.7 to 4.9 acres to accommodate for
an adjusted access road. The road will not introduce any new impacts as it runs along a hillside and remains outside of
any jurisdictional features. The LOD adjustment has been included in the Figure 3 Delineation Map and Figure 5 Aquatic
Resource Impact Map. Please let me know if this is sufficient documentation and/or if there is an issue with the
adjustment. Figures, NCDWQ forms, and PJD form attached.
Thank you,
Jess
