Summary of recent work performed on the property(within the last 6 months) 2. Survey of project area showing pre-project conditions 3. Shoreline Stabilization(Riprap): An 11" x 17" site plan/survey showing: ❑ Location of the OHW,existing shoreline, 100-year high water elevation and property lines; ❑ Elevation contours of the upland within 20 feet of the OHW; ❑ Location of existing trees and shrubs within the shoreline stabilization zone and an indication of whether they are to be removed* or retained; *Clear cutting is prohibited except within the access corridor,and native vegetation shall be preserved outside of the access corridor as much as practicable and, where removed, shall be replaced with other vegetation that is equally effective in retarding runoff and preventing erosion Plan view of locations and lineal footage of the proposed shoreline stabilization treatment; ❑ Location of an upland baseline parallel to the shoreline with stationing(example): (Link to Baseline Example.pd fl ■ Baseline origin and terminus must be referenced to three fixed features; ■ Perpendicular offsets from the baseline to the OHW shall be measured and distances shown on the plan at 20-foot stations; ■ The baseline shall be staked in the field by the applicant and maintained in-place until project completion. A cross section detailing the proposed shoreline treatment which includes the following information: All Types: ❑ Must be drawn to scale, with the horizontal and vertical scales noted on the drawing; ❑ Must show the existing bank, ordinary high water and 100-year high water elevations; ❑ Must show the distance waterward of the treatment placement(hard armoring inert material, such as riprap, shall be placed no more than 5 feet waterward of the OHW); ❑ Must provide a description of the underlying soil materials that will support the treatment; ❑ Must show the finished slope. Finished stabilization slopes shall be 3:1 or less where practical and feasible. Finished slopes greater than 2:1 shall be considered retaining walls. ❑ Riprap shall not extend higher than the top of the bank or 2 feet above the 100 year floodplain elevation, whichever is lower; Provide a detailed erosion control and site stabilization plan for the proposed project which includes: ❑ Identify on a plan sheet the proposed access route for all land based application; ❑ Identify the location of any material stockpile locations; ❑ Provide a comprehensive stabilization plan for any disturbed areas on site; ❑ Identify on a plan sheet the floating silt curtain for any work below the normal water level(required for all land-based installations). 4. Sandblanket: Site plan showing: ❑ Property lines ❑ Indication of where sand blanket was applied ❑ Existing elevation contours of adjacent upland area ❑ Ordinary high water and 100-year high water elevations Profile,cross-section and/or topographic contours(no greater than 1 foot) showing: ❑ Existing and proposed elevations Sandblanket must meet the following dimensional requirements: ❑ Length no more than '/2 the length of shareline or 50 feet, whichever is less ❑ Depth no more than 6 inches ❑ Width no more than 10 feet(waterward of OHW) 5. Floodplain Alteration: Determination by a professional engineer of the 100-year high water elevation before and after the project. Computation by a professional engineer of cut, fill and change in water storage capacity resulting from proposed grading. 6. Wetland Alteration: Complete delineation report, in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Board of Water& Soil Resources, for the wetland near the project area.
