NAO-2025-02379 / 25-V1589 (City of Virginia Beach - Windsor Woods Pump Station and Thalia Creek and Lake Trashmore Improvements project)

Expiration date: 9/7/2026

The applicant is requesting a DA permit for the construction of a tide gate across Thalia Creek at its confluence with Lake Windsor along with an interim pump station (Windsor Woods Tide Gate: DEQ Permit 18-1977, issued March 20, 2020; USACE Permit NAO-2018-01381/VMRC# 18- V1977 issued April 13, 2020). The tide gate was constructed to reduce the water levels in Lake Windsor during storm events to increase its storage capacity for stormwater runoff. The interim pumping station, which will be replaced with the new permanent stormwater pump station, that is part of the proposed project, will further reduce Lake Windsor’s water levels, and pump water during storm events into downstream waters of Thalia Creek. Additionally, the project involves maintenance dredging within the portion of Thalia Creek between Lake Windsor and Lake Trashmore to improve conveyance within the Creek. Once the dredging activities are complete, two new culverts interconnecting Lake Trashmore and Thalia Creek will be constructed. Weir gates will be installed at Lake Trashmore openings of the culverts. As proposed, the project would result in temporary and permanent impacts to 3.25 acres of wetlands and waters within Lake Windsor, Thalia Creek, and Lake Trashmore. The proposed permanent impacts consist of 0.09 acre of Estuarine Scrub Shrub (ESS) wetlands, 2.46 acres of Estuarine Open Water (EOW), and 0.15 acre of Palustrine Open Water (POW). The proposed temporary impacts consist of 0.54 acre of EOW. The proposed project’s purpose is to reduce flooding within the Windsor Woods neighborhood, which has experienced significant flooding and property damage. The project is needed to protect the residents and their homes and belongings from flooding and to allow for safe evacuation during flood events. The pump station will operate based on the levels of Lake Windsor, drawing down water levels during pre-storm operation to a target elevation of -1 feet NAVD88 and will continue to operate during the storm to maintain storage levels. The improvements to Thalia Creek will improve the flow between Lake Windsor and Lake Trashmore to provide more uniform storage capacity with the goal of reducing flooding in the Windsor Woods neighborhood.

NAO-2025-2615, Mount Holly Mitigation Bank, Westmoreland County, Virginia

Expiration date: 6/9/2026

The Sponsor is proposing 7.53 acres of wetland re-establishment, 90.84 acres of wetland rehabilitation, 0.09 acres of wetland preservation, 8.13 acres of wetland buffer rehabilitation, 0.45 acres of wetland buffer preservation, and 2.64 acres of upland buffer preservation. The Sponsor proposes to generate a total of 106.33 non-tidal wetland credits via hydrologic and landscape modification and vegetation planting for the purpose of providing off-site compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to waters of the U.S. associated with DA permits within the proposed Geographic Service Area (GSA). The Norfolk District will receive written comments on the proposed activity until July 9, 2026.
