The applicant proposes to modify the previously authorized Commonwealth Green development to include new impacts associated with a parking lot which will result in an additional 3,681 square feet (0.0845 acres) of impacts to forested wetlands, and to construct an additional entrance road which will connect the development to Route 17, resulting in an additional 0.5 acres of forested wetland impacts. The proposed new wetland impacts on the site will be compensated for through the preservation of wetlands on-site and through the purchase of credits from a private wetland mitigation bank.

Changes to the Virginia Dam Safety Regulations resulted in the Lee Hall Reservoir’s Lower Dam and CSX Causeway being classified as “regulated structures. Engineers determined that both dam structures are non-conforming and undersized to perform under this regulation. Additionally, both structures are classified as high-hazard potential structures. Therefore, the purpose and need of this project is to engineer, design, and construct modifications to insure public safety and bring the entire system into compliance with the Virginia Dam Safety Regulations. Public comment period ends June 3, 2013.

The bank sponsor proposes to establish, design, construct, and operate a compensatory wetland and stream mitigation bank to be known as Hagan Farm Umbrella Mitigation Bank. The purpose of the mitigation bank is to provide off-site compensatory mitigation for projects that result in unavoidable impacts to streams and other waters of the United States in the Upper New River and Middle New River Drainage basin. The goal of the bank is to protect and enhance water quality, enhance impaired streams and wetlands, encourage regional watershed management, restore native riparian areas for wildlife habitat and ecosystem biodiversity, as well as provide compensatory mitigation for authorized impacts within the authorized service area. The Hagan Bank will produce 18.4 acres of wetland mitigation (33.3 wetland compensation credits) through the restoration of 3.5 acres of degraded wetlands and through the creation of 14.9 acres of new wetlands. Stream credits are proposed as 28,950 for restoration and 2,223 for enhancement.

"The applicant proposes to mechanically dredge approximately 229,005 square feet (5.26-acres) and/or 26,559 cubic yards (CY) of subaqueous bottom to a maximum depth of -5.0 feet mean low water (MLW) in order to re-establish navigational access and attenuate siltation for the Old Donation Creek neighborhood in Virginia Beach, Va. The proposed project also includes the placement of six (6) new day markers and the relocation of one (1) day marker along the navigable channels. The project is composed of three distinct types of channels: the City spur channel, which leads off the main channel of the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River to serve multiple neighborhood waterways; the neighborhood SSD channel, which will provide access to Old Donation Creek; and the individual access channels which provide access to individual properties. The dredge material will be taken by barge to the Thalia Creek transfer site and loaded onto trucks and transported to the Whitehurst Borrow Pit on Oceana Boulevard for disposal."
