David Flick, Principal and Founder of Terra Technologies, announces the firm has received a Nationwide Permit authorizing impacts to jurisdictional waters for the Quail Valley Residential Development in Clay County Missouri.
Nationwide Permits that authorize impacts to jurisdictional waters resulting from most projects are limited to 300 feet of tributary fill. When requested by the applicant, the US Army Corps of Engineers can evaluate the merits of waiving the 300 foot limitation when impacts occur to a tributary whose function is impaired prior to development. Impairments are often associated with the absence of riparian corridors and other stream impacts upstream and downstream from the project site.
As a permit condition, the applicant will purchase stream mitigation credits from the Clear Fork Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank serving the project watershed.
