We can treat the Divisions email as the mod request. Kevin, be mindful of future correspondence from the Divisions so we can be sure to follow the permitting protocol. Thanks to you both!

R/w acquisition (which should address item 4) is still in process. Attached is a project consultation that Gearge Hoops approved of for the project. It includes the stream relocation area as well as two other project areas where we are eliminating or modifying wall designs. I believe in one of the emails about this permit modification requests you inquired about 106 verification. As noted in the consultation, Wilkerson did not believe the modification warranted additional archaeological review. Kevin is working on the 401.

While I don't usually send questions until I've finished my review (because there may be more questions), I'll do so now because I may not be able to get back to this until Thursday. Just so you know - an IP modification can be a pretty involved process (from our end); the previous modification re the tree cutting moratorium was an exception to this as it was pretty simple. Typically, modifications require coardination with other agencies, a modified 401 GC (if waters are impacted or for any other reason specified by DWR), and other things. In order to issue this permit, we wrote a 40 page decision document (combination of EA, FONSI, and 404(b)(1) analysis), since we look at more factors for IPs than we do for general permits (NWPs or RGPs). That's the reason for issues 4 and 6 below. L I assume this is a medium/good quality stream. If not, please provide a NCSAM sheet. 2. If it is a medium quality stream, it will require mitigation at a 2:1, with the relocated portion comprising almost 1/2, but will also require mitigation for the lost length. Please provide an acceptance letter from NCDMS. 3. If it's a low quality stream, it will still require mitigation for the lost portion. Please provide an acceptance letter. 4. Because the property owners had a number of concerns with the impacts in this general area, I'm examining the file, but haven't completed my review yet to determine if this new impact would affect any of the areas that concerned them. I attached the comment emails and letters that go to this (storm water, effect on their green space, future hotel, aesthetics, etc.). If you'd like to look into in, please feel free as I may send questions about this later - see the 2nd attachment and emails from the property owners, especially the email and letter from Brook Cole. 5. Please coardinate this request with the NCWRC and the USFWS. The USFWS may not have any comment on it, but you still need to coordinate with them because of the overall consultation. 6. I'm unclear about the text in your cover letter -"...by allowing some rock plating from the bottom of the fill slope and up." Does this mean that one side of the stream will be hardened? If so, it may not fully serve as 1:1 mitigation... Also, how would this affect flow?

If possible, I would appreciate if you would please look at this modification request before anything else that may be in the stack for Division 14. I really appreciate your assistance and sorry for the hassle.

We are currently constructing this project and have run into a situation where we need to hopefully soon relocate about 70 feet of stream (note picture in attachment errantly specifies 75 feet). Please see the attached request and advise if you have any comments or questions. I'm not sure I have ever requested a modification of an IP before, so I apologize if there is a different process I need to use.
