Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Dear Ms. Miller:
On June 15, 2018, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated
May 24, 2018, requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification and Buffer Authorization from the
Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that additional information is
required to process your application, therefore this application is on -hold until all of the
following information is received:
1. Please provide further detail on the stream channel proposed to be constructed in place
of the existing pond.
a. Above and below the pond there are numerous structures proposed for grade
control and bed/bank stabilization, but nothing is shown on the plans for the
portion of the channel thorough the pond. How will the channel be stabilized?
Will there be some type of stabilization of the meander/bends? DWR
recommends placement of riffle(s) to provide diversity to this section of the
constructed stream.
