Section Env-Wt 514.03 - Application Requirements for All Bank/Shoreline Stabilization Projects The project-specific information required by Env-Wt 310.01(c)(1) or Env-Wt 311.03(b)(11), as applicable, for a bank/shoreline stabilization project shall be as follows:
(a) A narrative and photos that: (1) Describe and illustrate existing conditions and locations where shoreline vegetation currently exists;(2) Identify all known causes of erosion to the bank/shoreline in that location;(3) Identify information and, for minor and major projects, engineering standards used to determine the appropriateness of the proposed bank stabilization treatment or practice;(4) Explain the design elements that have been incorporated to address erosion, by eliminating or minimizing the causes therefor; and(5) For minor and major bank/shoreline stabilization projects or minimum impact bioengineering stream bank projects, identify the flood risk tolerance of the proposed treatment or practice using the appropriate technical guidance or national engineering handbook;(b) A cross-section plan that shows: (1) The difference in elevation between the lowest point of the bank/shoreline slope to be impacted by the construction and the highest point of the bank/shoreline slope to be impacted;(2) The linear distance across the proposed project area as measured along a straight line between the highest and lowest point of the bank/shoreline slope to be impacted;(3) The existing and proposed slope of the bank/shoreline; and(4) The normal high water line or ordinary high water mark, as applicable;(c) Hard-scape, rip-rap, or unnatural design plans shall include:(1) Designation of minimum and maximum stone size;(3) Minimum rip-rap thickness;(4) Type of bedding for stone;(5) Cross-section and plan views of the proposed installation;(6) A description of anticipated turbulence, flows, restricted space, or similar factors that would render vegetation and bioengineering stabilization methods physically impracticable;(7) Engineering plans for rip-rap in excess of 100 LF along the bank or bed of a watercourse, including in-stream revetments, stamped by a professional engineer; and(8) If the project proposes rip-rap adjacent to great ponds or other surface waters where the state holds fee simple ownership to the bed, a stamped surveyed plan showing the location of the normal high water line and the footprint of the proposed project; and(d) Design plans for a wall shall include:(1) Cross-section and plan views of the proposed installation and sufficient plans to clearly indicate:a. The relationship of the project to fixed points of reference, abutting properties, and features of the natural shoreline; andb. The dimensions of the existing wall, if any, and of the proposed wall; and(2) If the application is for a wall adjacent to a great pond or other surface water where the state holds fee simple ownership to the bed, a surveyed plan, stamped by a licensed land surveyor, showing the location of the normal high water line and the footprint of the proposed project.N.H.
