The proposed culvert would be approximately 970 linear feet long and would impact 1,646 linear feet of stream channel. This proposal has received permits from state and federal agencies, including a Virginia Water Protection Individual Permit (18-1003) from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) and a State Program General Permit (17- SPGP-01) from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition to the USACE and VDEQ, the proposal is reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency, US Fish & Wildlife Service, Virginia Marine Resources Commission, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, and Virginia Department of Health. The findings from these reviews concluded that compliance with the approved permitting process: Will protect instream beneficial uses, will not violate applicable water quality standards, and will not cause or contribute to a significant impairment of state waters or fish and wildlife resources The approved permit requires compensation for the stream impacts through the purchase of stream credits (or stream condition units) from a VDEQ approved mitigation bank. During the permitting process, the City of Fairfax requested that instead of the purchase of stream credits from a VDEQ bank, that a compensatory mitigation project be completed on a stream located in the City. The VDEQ responded to the City’s request stating that the purchasing of credits is the ecologically preferred form of mitigation. Despite this response from VDEQ, the applicant agreed to complete a stream restoration project on approximately 2,190 linear feet of the stream located in the City’s Van Dyck Park, or an alternative location on other City property with equal length, accessibility and stream condition, in addition to the purchase of stream credits. A tree canopy of 13.5% of the site, or approximately 1.4 acres, is proposed. The majority of the proposed canopy coverage would be achieved through tree preservation. Proposed vegetation would include native species to the greatest extent possible. In additional to the on-site planting, trees would also be planted within the street rights-of-way. The proposal also received a Conditional Letter of Map Revision from the US Federal Emergency Management Agency on April 1, 2019 for impacts to the floodplain.
