Prepare Permit Applications. The project is located in unincorporated Cowlitz County. The Engineer will prepare the following permit applications for the Client to submit to Cowlitz County: - SEPA Checklist - Cowlitz County Fill & Grade, Right-of-Way, Building and Stormwater Permits The Engineer will schedule a pre-application meeting with the County Building & Planning Department and Client staff. The 60% design drawings will be utilized for the pre-application meeting. The Engineer’s architectural consultant will provide structural calculations for the pole building design that will be submitted to the County as part of the building permit application.
Prepare Permit Applications. MIG will prepare permit application packages for the resource agencies. At this time, it is anticipated that a Section 404 Nationwide Permit from the USACE, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB, an LSAA from the CDFW, and an Encroachment Permit from the SCVWD will be required to construct the project. Application packets will include the permit application form, engineering drawings, and the project’s environmental document (eg, IS/MND), as well as any permit application fees. In MIG’s experience, the resource agencies prefer receiving individual applications instead of a Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA). However, the JARPA can be more expedient, and MIG will discuss using this application with the resource agencies during the interagency pre-application meeting. The application package will, at a minimum, provide the following information: • Description of the overall project, including site plan and other project plans, as appropriate; • Surface area in acres of waters of the U.S. and State, adjacent wetlands (if any), and adjacent riparian vegetation that will be temporarily/permanently impacted by the proposed project; • Method of vegetation clearing (if any) within the temporary/permanent impact areas; • Cross-section and lateral view of the project activity; • Appropriate environmental resources reports (e.g., Biological Assessment, Biological Resources Report, cultural resources report, archaeological/history survey report); • A description of dewatering methods (if any); • BMPs to prevent water pollution; and • Final environmental documentation for the CEQA (for Section 401 Water Quality Certification) or written explanation as to what stage of environmental compliance the project is in; and • Permit application fees. We will rely on BKF and other project background documents to provide, at a minimum, the following information: • Description of the overall project, including the location of areas that will be temporarily or permanently affected by grading or equipment/materials staging; • Construction materials and methods; • Hydrologic Study (if required); • Source and composition of materials used to construct the bank stabilization; • Site plan and cross-section drawing of the project activity; • A description of methods used to xxxxxxx the project area, if necessary; • A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and/or BMPs planned to be used to prevent water pollution; and • Permit application fees.
