ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: APPLICANT PROPOSED MITIGATION: The applicant proposes the following mitigation measures to avoid, minimize, and compensate for impacts to waters of the United States from activities involving discharges of dredged or fill material.

The lowland drainage area would be grubbed, but shaped and revegetated to maintain existing direction of flow and water storage capacity. No compensatory mitigation is proposed.
