As indicated under Item C.3.g (Page 13) of the USACE PCN Complete Help File "The stream impact length should be measured along the centerline of the stream. When proposing a culvert, the impact length is generally greater than the length of the culvert and associated dissipater since the existing stream usually has some sinuosity (curvature)." Please verify or correct the stream impact length as indicated on the PCN form. Please provide updated drawings and application materials (including Table of Impacts in the PCN form) that properly show the length of impacts to the jurisdictional stream. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)] 7. Please realign the location of the culvert for the road crossing so that it is in better alignment with the stream channel. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)] 8.
