Hello again, Christian.
At our Rutman Creek site visit on July 29, 2008, Kyle Barnes of our Washington office
requested that LMG contact him to schedule an intermittent-perennial stream call at the
lower end of the project site (enhancement area near the access road). It just came to my
attention that this stream call was never scheduled. Please contact Kyle at the email above
or 252-946-6481 to follow up.
As you know, we received the most recent revisions to the PCN and mitigation plan via David
Lekson today, so DWQ will be actively reviewing the application package. I will keep you
apprised of any issues that could be dealt with in order to help expedite the process.
Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns regarding the proposed mitigation
project.
Warm regards,
Tammy

Hello Tammy -
Hope you have been well. Yes- we were able to obtain an access
agreement for the proposed reference wetland/zero-order stream areas on
the Cameron property (Site 1 in our Appendix E). This site has as
pristine an area of hardwood flats as we've ever seen in eastern NC. In
fact, this area is known as the 'Scranton Hardwoods' as referenced in
Schafale and Weakely (1990). There are few, if any, hardwood flat areas
like this remaining in NC. Also, the site has other representative
wetland areas (non-riparian swamp forest, small stream swamp, and
zero-order stream) suitable for reference monitoring.
As you indicated, we will be using existing preservation areas of the
site for the bay forest reference wetlands. There are large,
undisturbed blocks in which we will be installing reference wells.
Hope this information helps. We have ordered all the shallow monitoring
wells for Phase I and the reference areas. These will be installed in
the beginning of February. We also have the plant deliveries (for Phase
I) scheduled for February 16th.
We are hoping to have the 401 Certification as soon as possible. Let us
know if there is anything we can do to expedite the review.
Thanks for your help! Talk soon -
Christian

Hi, Christian.
We're reviewing the application for the 401 Certification for the Rutman
Creek project. Could you let me know the status of reference site selection? The
updated plan (dated 12/5/2008) indicates that, due to fire and access issues, there was
difficulty locating sites. Has any progress been made on establishing reference points
for monitoring? Have you considered placing a reference well in the on-site preservation
area to use as a reference for the bay forest restoration?
provide will help us in our review process.
Feel free to email or call at your convenience.
Thanks, and have a great day,
Tammy
