Good afternoon,

After reviewing the Tier 1 wetland permit application and walking the site once more, I have concluded that the wetland alteration expected from the proposed project does not require a Tier 1 permit.  So, I am returning the application.  During our meeting and site visit last year it appeared that a Tier 1 permit would be in order; however, final design of the project have reduced the amount of wetland alteration to a level that does not trigger the need for a permit.

I believe that the proposed project will disturb land within 75 feet of a protected natural resource.  In this case, a stream located on the abutting property owned by UNE.  If this is true, then a Permit‑By‑Rule for activities adjacent to a protected natural resource will be required.

If anyone has any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Bob.
