The application is for the placement of fill material (a reinforced concrete box) into an unnamed tributary of Coria Creek to construct a parking lot to service existing and new commercial development.

The overall purpose of this work is for commercial development and to prevent over topping of the stream bank during storm events and finally to manage the 100-year flood frequency event as required by an ordinance from the City of Muskogee.  The project is not a water dependent activity and there are no special aquatic sites are located within the project site.

The applicant's proposal would require the placement of 807 CY of earthen material. concrete, and steel into approximately 900 LF (0.04 AC) of stream channel.  Also, the applicant proposes to widen the existing channel to allow for the construction of two double (14- by 6-foot) RCB's (with associated wingwalls).  The applicant also proposes minor modifications to the 350 LF upstream of the double RCB (using erosion control applications on steep slopes and vegetated waterways) during construction activities.  The fill material may consist of concrete, gravel, sand, and earthen material.  The work would be performed using conventional earth moving equipment.
