The applicant proposes to construct a reinforced concrete box (RCB) road crossing (0.30 ac or 60 lf) across the thalweg (approximately 25 feet) of the unnamed tributary of North Deer Creek utilizing concrete and clay compacted fill materials with rip-rap for erosion control. The RCB would be sufficient to allow normal and high water flow volumes.

The constructed dam for the SDR was constructed with compacted native clays with the approximated dimensions of 300 lf by 90 lf. The constructed dam is approximately 0.62 total ac. The SDR was constructed within a waters of the U.S., impacting approximately 1,350 lf of the unnamed tributary of North Deer Creek. Additionally, approximately 3.23 ac of adjacent jurisdictional emergent wetlands have been permanently inundated by the construction of this SDR. The impacts to waters of the U.S. for these projects are estimated at 3.26 ac. The total size of the SDR is approximately 5.75 ac.

Vegetative clearing has been accomplished for areas outside of waters of U.S. Utilities are being completed for the southwest portion of the project site with no additional activities being conducted in jurisdictional wetlands or in streams below the OHWM.
