The culvert is being requested by Surry parks and rec to widen their trail. The parks director has stated that they have cross country meets there regularly and that point becomes a significant bottle neck. However, if this is a regulatory hurdle we can take it out. Let me know if this is a good enough reason for the impact. If so, we'll send an updated table. I don't think I've seen or maybe misplaced the WRC comments. However I have received comments on similar projects on large river systems regarding working in the wet. I appreciate the need to work in the dry as much as possible but the Fisher River is a 61 square mile drainage area so pumping around is not a viable option. Installing diversions or cofferdams is cost prohibitive and is likely to disturb as much or more then just doing the work. I can't lay my hands on it right now but we have a map showing the rapid bank erosion along this bend on the fisher. This bend has lost 50' or more bank in the last 15 years or so. The sediment entering the river and potential turbidity as a result of construction is miniscule compared to what has already entered and what will continue to enter the river without this work. We will pump around on the unnamed tributary. Please let me know if I am missing something or not addressing the intent of the WRC comments.

We need to account for that culvert impact. I'm not sure if William would cover it under the NWP27 or if he needs to add another NWP to cover that fill. For now we at least need it explained, whether it's temporary or permanent and we need it justified (if there's a trail there now, why does it need to be widened?) Greenways are usually justified as 10-12' wide so we'd need an explanation for why the added culvert there. There's no way to go back and fix the online form so what most people do is take the table from the old printed version of the PCN, fill it out and submit it as additional information. Or create a new table and send it to us. Sending it by email is fine. Please also comment on WRCs request to divert flows around the work area where you propose to not work in the dry along the Fisher River.

We have approval to do the work from them. Do we still need an agent authorization or will a copy of the recorded lease work? Impacts —The culvert you mentioned was by request of the county to widen the existing trail through the park. We by mistake did not add that 20' as permanent impact to that perennial stream. Do we need to just correct in the online system? We're tying to get used to that system. There are not any wetlands within the project work area on this site so the language of avoiding them was a holdover from a previous example. Thanks and hope you have a great Thanksgiving. -Jake From: Homewood, Sue <sue.homewood@ncdenr.gov> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2018 5:13 PM To: Jake Byers <jbyers@eprusa.net> Cc: Elliott, William A CIV USARMY CESAW (US) <William.A.Elliott@usace.army.mil>; Leslie, Andrea J <andrea.leslie@ncwildlife.org> Subject: Fisher River Restoration - Surry County Hi Jake, A couple questions/comments about this one: -in the application it mentions avoiding streams and wetlands along the construction route as much as possible and using mats where possible. We need to see all jurisdictional features within the project limits (including access roads and staging areas) and all impacts need to be identified on the PCN impact table, identified as temporary or permanent and justified. Sheet 6 shows one such culvert, I believe, but it's unclear where there may be others or other jurisdictional features. -we need an owner authorization for both property owners, there's only one in the PCN package.
