Send all s me t to Report.. Zan, Thank you for your email dated December 17, 2018, which included a DWR request for additional information. We believe the following response will fully address these comments: DWR Comment #1- "Please provide more details regarding avoidance and minimization of the S2 culvert impact for this project. The provided impact map Figure 5a does not provide sufficient detail on the proposed project purpose of providing parking and storage for a commercial business. Please update the plan sheet to include a schematic layout of the anticipatedparking needs and storage areas as described in your email dated November 2, 2018. Please configure the parking spaces to avoid or minimize the impacts to stream S2. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(fi and (g)j. " The parking lot is the appropriate size to accommodate 28 vehicles, including: 7 company vehicles, 5- full size vans, 2 full size pickups, 14 employee vehicles. The applicant also requires this lot to provide additional storage capacity for staging building materials. Using standard -size parking space dimensions of 8 by 16 feet, the square footage required for parking would be at minimum 3,584 sqft. An additional 1,500 sqft is set aside for building material storage capacity. The remainder of the 10,890 sqft lot is used for maneuvering vehicles into spaces and around the lot. A conceptual layout for parking and materials staging is included in Attachment A (Figure 7), however, the parking lot will not be a painted with space dividing lines. The schematic provided is simply to illustrate the approximate area required by the applicant. DWR Comment #2- "Please update the impact table to include the temporary impacts associated with installing the culvert "in the dry". [15ANCA C 02H.0502(b)(3)j" Permanent impacts to UT to Gap Creek include the installation of a 100 ft long, 36" diameter culvert as fill. Temporary impacts include 20 ft (10 ft upstream of proposed culvert and 10 ft downstream of proposed culvert) to construct coffer dams as part of a dewatering system, for the purpose of installing the culvert "in the dry." An updated impact table (PCN Form page 4 of 10), is included in Attachment A. Should you have any questions or comments concerning this project please do not hesitate to contact me at 828- 698-9800.
