Subject: RE: [External] Bendigo Bay @ Bluewater Rise
Mr. Thomas,
Upon my review of the response and associated restoration plan to the Notice of Violation with Recommendation for
Enforcement issued by this Office on May 21, 2018, this Office noted that an amended Preconstruction Notification
(PCN) application will need to be submitted to address the additional stream and buffer impacts associated with the
pipe realignment and scour protection. In addition, this Office requests more detail in how the unauthorized excavation
occurring in Zone 1 at the outlet of the double barrel culverts will be stabilized and restored. The planting of red maple
and sweet gum as part of the restoration is not an acceptable due to the successional nature of the species.
This Office will not remove the hold on buffer authorization application for Bendigo Bay until an amended restoration
plan and PCN application has been received and associated approvals (restoration plan and 401 and buffer
authorization) have been issued by this Office. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
