The proposed box culvert has a span of 18 Ft., a skew of 90 degrees, an underclearance of 5.0 Ft., a low chord of 1,408.38 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 90 Ft2. The increase in roadway width is beyond the criteria for the General Permit 11. The project will also include R-8 Rip Rap protection on the right and left upstream and downstream banks. The total stream impact from the proposed box culvert and the stream bank protection will be approximately 210 Ft. The project will not impact any jurisdictional wetlands and does not require mitigation. The Unnamed Tributary to Elk Creek is classified as an Exceptional Value Stream (Also Wild Trout) by Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards. The project will not require mitigation. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

All storage and treatment operations take place within the enclosed building.
