. Supplementary Information required for Prime Wetlands applications in Env-Wt
704.03
We assume that each application will be classified as a major impact under Env-Wt 407 and that
a public hearing will be required pursuant to Env-Wt 704.04. An initial client draft of the permit
application will be submitted to the Client for review and comment prior to finalization and
submittal to NHDES. Because the permit application fee cannot be calculated at this time, our
proposed fee does not include this cost.
VHB assumes that the City will be responsible for determining ownership of the bed of the river
and for coordinating with affected property owners to obtain easements, written permission, or
signatures on the application form as appropriate.
Task 6. US Army Corps of Engineers, Clean Water Act, Section 404 Permitting
Based on our experience with similar projects in NH, VHB expects that the Corps will authorize
the project via the Statewide Programmatic General Permit (i.e., the project will not require an
individual permit). We will prepare wetland project plans in the standard US Army Corps of
Engineers format (no larger than 11 X 17 in with bar scale) for the Corps’ records and will
complete the Corps’ “Appendix B" document relative to indirect and cumulative impacts for
submittal to the Corps.
Task 7. Alteration of Terrain Coordination
At this time, it appears that the area of significant ground disturbance associated with the
project will exceed the 50,000 square foot Alteration of Terrain (AoT) permit trigger for projects
located within Protected Shoreland.
Assuming the permit is required, VHB will develop sediment and erosion control plans which will
be submitted with the AoT permit application. (Note: VHB assumes the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Construction General Permit (CGP) Notice of !ntent will be
prepared and submitted by the selected contractor(s).] The plans will rely on site-specific
information. Under this task, VHB will:
° Prepare temporary and permanent stormwater management and erosion control plans in
accordance with NHDES and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
regulations,
