having them there would be nice certainly but just so you are aware (explicitly)
Coleen has given us explicit directions NOT to go out of river basin for service
areas. We can make a minor exception or two (like where the basin boundaries are a
sick joke!) but this one is really simple for us. no. period. have a good weekend.

Man, I hate you and Dave won't be there - I'm really going to need you. Both
Gary and Howard have deferred to Mike Wicker on the GSA and Wicker supports
the banker and their multi-river basin, Viginia to New Bern to the fall line
proposal. Is there a chance that Maria Dunn could sit in? If you could
provide me with your comments on the expansive GSA proposal I would be able
to deliver them for you at the meeting.
I'm deep into heavy regulatory matters right now and will respond to your
questions as soon as possible ...D

Information
I will not be at the April 14 meeting and the last I heard neither will David
Cox so I'm sending this email to pose several questions and comments
pertaining to this bank.
I have heard "stream" mentioned several times with this site: are there
stream credits with this site or is the banker asking for stream credit?
Did the development of this site, and/or any potential or perceived stream
credits depend upon the restoration of river herring?
A statement mentioned in the attached letter states that the presence of
beaver, otter, fish, and macroinvertabrate habitat "suggest the potential
success of reintroduction of river herring" This is incorrect, it suggest the
potential success of beaver, otter, fish, and macroinvertabrates.
The culverts at US 64 are a fully submerged double set of pipes, and
day-lighting has been shown to be an important factor in river herring
passage. Therefore it is unreasonable to assume the success of river herring
without the remediation of that set of structures as well as others on the
site.
Did the success of any component of this site depend upon improving aquatic
passage more specifically improving the hydraulic structures.
In a recent meeting with NCDOT on the US 64 project we have mentioned the
need to improve the hydraulic structure to promote aquatic passage
specifically river herring. This was discussed in relation to the bank and
the fact that there are no impeding structures from US 64 to the Little
Alligator River.
Although I have not had the opportunity to discuss specific design options
with DOT it appears it may be possible to place the new structures on the
opposite side of the access road, therefore removing the need to improve the
structures conveying the canal under the access road.
