The Army Corps has requested that the applicant address the items that I have described below. Also included are those pages of the PCN that have been revised along with an updated set of permit drawings. 1. The applicant has agreed to apply for all foreseen jurisdictional impacts under one application. Although this is a phased project, they feel that they can provide a reasonable estimate of the necessary impacts to accommodate the project's purpose and need. These impacts are as follows: sewer outfall impacts (40 feet of temporary stream impact); road crossing (120 feet of permanent stream impact and 0.03 acre of permanent wetland impact). No impacts result from any lots. 2. The attached plans depict all known phases of McKenzie Ridge with each phase clearly labeled and demarcated. 3. All jurisdictional features are shown on the existing site conditions plan, including the wetland that was added pursuant to the USACE site review held on May 131h 4. Permanent impacts do not exceed any mitigation thresholds. 5. The pond located in high ground that is to be drained is 0.4 acre in size. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Jeff Harbour, PWS B. Project Information and Prior Project History 1. Property Identification 1a. Property identification no.
