Carla and Jim,
In reference to our meeting yesterday concerning additional surface water impacts, we decided to view any buffer impacts
resulting from the new surface water impacts as moot and not subject to the Buffer Rules because of the reasons bulleted
below.
• The additional surface impacts were the result of an inadvertent oversight;
• A 401 permit application has not been submitted to date;
• Merger concurrence points for the project occurred prior to Buffer rule promulgation; and,
• DOT intends to revisit CP3 and CP4 to discuss the ramifications in more detail in an upcoming memo to Merger
participants.
One caveat. If there are significant concerns expressed by other Merger participants, following the memo referenced above, of
which require a formal return to Merger, then any buffer impacts resulting from new stream impacts may be in play.
As with other permitted projects within buffered basins that are exempt from Buffer Rules due to timing issues, Buffer Rules will
apply, if for example, permit modifications are submitted that include new impacts that lay outside the original footprint of the
project.
Let me know if you need anything further. We look forward to reviewing the additional information.
