RE: Floodplain Inquiry — Par 3 Course
Dear Mr. Senske,
I have talked to Steve Worley about the expansion of your facility to include the Par 3 course we
discussed this morning. He is in agreement that it appears fairly insignificant in regard to the
floodplain. There was a concern that with the grading that flow is not blocked off from any area
within the floodplain and/or that it would not redirect flow to an area outside the floodplain. He
was also concerned that the existing bei In elevation not be changed to make it any higher than
what exists.
What we discussed this morning sounded as if these concerns would not be a problem. You
intended to keep the area entirely pervious (no hardened surfaces) and that the regrading would
be minimal and not form berms. You also mentioned that the sand you would import for the
development of the course would equal the amount of material that you would export so that
there would be no net gain of fill within the floodplain.
What we would like in order to issue the permit is a site plan of existing grades and one to include
proposed grades. This will need to show volumes of cut and fill. If the plan shows what we
discussed this morning and what is in this letter, I will be able to issue you a Floodplain
Development Permit to start work.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Tammie Williams
Environmental Programs Administrator
