Subject:
Proposal for Water/Wetland Permitting Services
Proposed Jeffersonville Drainage Facility
Clark County, Indiana
Red*ving Project 04-048
Dear Mr. Hart:
Per our recent m6eting and conversation with yourself and Mr. Jorge Lanz, Redwing Ecological Services,
Inc. (Redwing) is pleased to submit this proposal for water wetland permitting services in support of the
proposed Jeffersonville Drainage Facility in southern Clark County, Indiana. The approximately 10-acre
site is located between the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Hampton Drive, east of 1-65. The goal of
these proposed services is to assist Jacobi. Toombs and Lanz, Inc. (JTL) with obtaining the required
jurisdictional wateffwetland permits for the proposed project.
BACKGROUND
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands_ are defined by 33 CFR Part 328.3 and are protected by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344~. which is administered and enforced by the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). Certain water/wetland impacts are also regulated by the Indiana Deparm~ant
of Environmental Management (IDEM) under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. Under current
regulations in Indiana, impacts to greater than one acre of jurisdictional waters require the submittal of an
Individual Permit to the USACE. Impacts ro waters of the U.S. between 0.1 acre and 1.0 acre due to
residential and commercial development require submittal of a Regional General Permit to the USACE.
hnpacts to less than 0.1 acre of jurisdictional waters are pre-approved under the Regional General Permit,
and fore, al notification to the USACE is not required. A Water Quality Certification will be required from

the IDEM if the project impacts greater than 0.i acre of jurisdictional wetland or impacts greater than 300
linear feet of stream; however, impacts below these thresholds do require the submittal of formal
notification to IDEM.
Based on our preliminary site visit on June 25, 2004, review of available maps and discussions with JTL,
jurisdictional waters/wetlands appear to be present through the central portion of the site, along
intermittent/perennial' streams tributary to Lick Run. Per our conversation, we understand that the drainage
facility has several constmction options, which may range from minor to major water/wetland impacts. For
the purposes of this proposal, we assume that impacts will be limited to construction of a dam across the
downstream portion of the site and permitting can be addressed under a Regional General Permit (less than
one acre of impact).
PROPOSED SERVICES
The focus of these proposed services will be the delineation of jurisdictional boundaries and preparation
of application packages for a Regional Gen6ral Permit and~a Section 401 Water Quality Certification
(WQC) to the USACE and the IDEM, respectively. These services will be accomplished through
completion of the following tasks, which are described in detail below: 1) a formal water/wetland
delineation of the property; 2) preparation Of a joint permit application package; and 3) conducting
meeting/coordination with JTL and agency personne.
Water/Wetland Delineation: Under this taik Redwing will delineate the jurisdictional water/wetland
boundaries on the approximately 10-acre project site. During the field study, wetland areas will be
identified using the Routine On-Site Determihation Method as defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual. This techniqu~ uses a multi-parameter approach, which requires positive
evidence of three criteria: wetland hydrologyl hydric soils, and hydrophytic vegetation. Areas exhibiting
all three criteria will be flagged in the field and marked on available site maps. Jurisdictional waters
(streams, lakes) will be identified on the basisl of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) and defined bed
and bank features. We understand that delineated jurisdictional boundaries will be surveyed by JTL This
task will also be used to assess the relative quality of on-site waters/wetlands for use in the permitting
process. We have budgeted one day in the field for two Redwing wetland scientists to complete this task.

Redwing Proposal 04-048
Permit Application: This task includes the preparation of a Section 404 Regional General Permit/WQC
Application Package for submittal to the USACE and the IDEM. The permit package will include: a
description of proposed impacts; Rapid Bioassessment Protocol (RBPs) assessment for the existing
stream; quality assessment of the wetland area; and required application forms for both the USACE and
the IDEM. The permit package will also include the findings of the formal delineation of the property
and the conceptual mitigation plan. This task assumes that JTL will provide construction documents, any
hydrologic modeling required by the agencies, and sediment and erosion control plans that may be
required for this project. It also assumes that mitigation will be limited to on-site restoration of existing
stream and wetland habitat.
We have budgeted 20 hours (including professional, drafting and clerical time) to prepare the conceptual
mitigation plan, and 42 hours to prepare the permit application package.
Meetings/Coordination: Under this task Redwing will provide coordination necessary to complete
review of the permit application packages by the USACE and the IDEM. We have budgeted 22 hours for
client/agency coordination including:
· One pre-application meeting with the USACE (and/or IDEM), JTL and the Jeffersonville
Drainage Board to introduce the project and discuss permitting options.
· One meeting to present the permit application to the agencies and discuss their concerns.
· Eight hours for client and agency coordination, including responses to agency/public comments,
as necessary.
We will also keep in close contact with you throughout the project via phone calls, emails and written
updates, as necessary.
DELIVERABLES
The deliverables in this proposal will include: 1) a conceptual mitigation plan for submittal with the permit
application; 2) a Regional General Permit and WQC application package for submittal to the regulatory
agencies; and 3) coordination of USACE and other agency review of the permit application through two
agency meetings and one formal response to agency/public comments, as necessary.
