3J. Comments:
- Final permanent impact numbers are adjusted in the impact table.
-There will be no temporary impacts (temporary diversion) outside the restoration
permanent impact length.
-Access to the stream on the north and south ends are only allowed within the
existing prior filled areas from the past. The access roads will not be expanded.
Wetland areas will be flagged "Do Not Enter" and be understood with the
contractor upfront. There will be no impacts to wetlands outside of the footprint of
the existing access roads. Mud mats will be used, and silt fencing along each side
of the access road on the north side. Mud mats will also be used on the south side
access.
-Update: There will be only one stockpile area located in uplands on TNC property
in a graveled area near the powerline off William T. Calloway Road.
I apologize for impact number confusion double counting enhancement. There are
various interpretations of restoration and enhancement. I wanted to be sure I
included it all and learned later I over counted. Also, the other numbers are
specifics for contractors and are not total impacts. The permanent impact
numbers are the totals given in the table above. I agreed to be the permitting
applicant because the costs for this task were not in our partner budget. The
design plans I sent you are true and confirmed on the ground as of our onsite
meeting on March 28, 2024. We do not have funding available to replace the
contractor impact table with the permit impact table in the January 2024 plans.
The remaining funding is needed for restoration. Please use the permit impact
table in this PCN above and below. The plans have been revised several times
since 2020 as this project grew to try to stabilize the historically mined and altered
stream system to re-establish stability in the stream banks and riparian buffers to
help prevent sedimentation and erosion to improve water quality, protect the
wetlands, and to benefit the aquatic resources and the landowners.
