Good morning, Sue: They told me it'll be the end of this week or beginning of next before they can have the plans revised. I'll need a couple days with them after that — so plan on the end of next week. I know you like to pull the application when time is getting close. So long as another application fee won't be required, please feel free to hit the pause button. Thanks, please let me know what you decide. Regards, Chris Hopper CAROLINA ECOSYSTEMS INC.

They're thorough and well founded — thank you for those. I requested and am now in receipt of a full-size plan set and am combing through to provide location -specific requests. I expect to share a list with the design team by close of business tomorrow — and should soon thereafter be able to answer the second half of your question. Can I get back to you early next week with an estimate? Chris Hopper CAROLINA ECOSYSTEMS INC.

From: Homewood, Sue Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2017 4:16 PM To: 'Chris Hopper' <chris.hopper@carolinaeco.com> Cc: Elliott, William A CIV USARMY CESAW (US) <William.A.Elliott@usace.army.mil> Subject: North Wilkesboro Sewer Improvements Hi Chris, I'm reviewing the subject project and have a few questions/concerns: Condition 1.2 in the attached GC4133 states that the construction corridor cannot be closer than 10 feet to the top of bank when the sewer line is parallel to the stream. Exceptions require written approval. Based on the plans provided (granted, the scale is small) there appears to be a significant number of locations throughout the project where this will be the case. I need confirmation of exactly where this will be the case and what extra measures will be taken to protect the stream/stream bank from adjacent excavation activities (not just erosion control but also stability in the bank where excavation is so close). I also need to see these areas specifically called out on the plans, or if some areas are to be avoided by narrowing up the construction corridor, those areas should clearly be identified/called out on the plans. I am very specifically concerned about Branch 4A, it appears much of the actual sewer line is right on top of the streambank. At station 46+00 it appears that there's a bore pit immediately adjacent to a stream/wetland complex. This concerns me as it could cause draining of the stream/wetland and/or significant construction complications. Can you look into this and provide more details/construction sequence that is specific to this area. There are some areas where the crossings appear that they may not meet the "near -perpendicular" requirement as noted in Condition 1.3 of the GC4133. Can you confirm any crossings that specifically won't meet this requirement. The construction corridor cannot be greater than 40' in width but I can't confirm based on the scale provided that this is the case, if you could just make sure that's the case please. The plan sheets call out a permanent easement of 15' within some of the jurisdictional areas, but not all of them. I just want to make sure the owner understands that regardless of whether it's noted on the plans, the permanent easement may only be 20' across streams and within wetlands per the GC, however if you calculated permanent wetland impacts based on a 15' easement then that is what they will be limited to in the future. A few of the stream crossings shown on the plans specifically call out dewatering activities, but not all of them do. Is this an oversight, or a scaling issue that I can't see the notes, or is there something else being proposed? Your stream impact table notes that the impacts to S9, second to the last row on the table is 178 feet. I can't match this up to the project plans to see what is going on in this area. Is the pump around specific to where the stream is parallel to the corridor? Could you provide a new impact table that gives each impact area a specific designation and then use the stream number as a separate column, or provide Station numbers where the impact areas are to occur. It is hard to call out specific areas of the project when Stream S9 is noted 6 different times and the plans don't have any identification on them to indicate what impact # they are. It may be that larger scale drawings would help me. You can send those electronically by using this link, the project number is 20171630 version 1 and you'd select "more information response" on the form. I apologize if some of this information is present on the plans and I just can't see or find it.
