<p>Reminder List for Lake Delhi Shoreline Projects</p><p> All projects need approval from the Corps of Engineers (COE), the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and Delaware County  All owners need to submit a completed Joint Application Form (with two exceptions)  Joint Application Form requesting approval goes to COE and DNR (no application fees)  You must have written approval in hand prior to construction</p><p>The Two Exceptions (to the need to submit a completed Joint Application Form)</p><p>1. Repair only: If you are proposing to merely repair an existing project AND you received written approval – either a permit or a “no permit required” letter - for the original construction, you may provide a copy of the approval to the DNR via email to Kelly Stone ([email protected]) and copied to Asia Azam ([email protected]).</p><p>2. Out of the Flood Plain: If you are out of the mapped flood plain, you may provide a map of the flood zone (available through FEMA’s online Map Service Center) with your project location marked via email to Kelly Stone, cc Asia Azam. </p><p> We will respond to you via email and cc Anthony Bardgett with Delaware County.</p><p>Gaining Approval by submitting a completed Joint Application Form:</p><p>Step 1 - Complete a “Joint Application Form”, a.k.a. “Form 36 – Protecting Iowa Waters” (it’s free) (Don’t be intimidated by 10 pages of instructions and examples)</p><p>Also Complete DNR Form 542-1034 “Applying for a Flood Plain Permit – Stream Bank Protective Devices – Basic Method”. This checklist will help you assemble all the needed information. See the PowerPoint presentation and the Seawall and Armoring Examples (on the trustee’s website) for helpful information. Please note that DNR is waiving the usual requirement for submitting DNR Form 542-1018 “Determining if a Flood Plain Permit is Required – Stream Bank Protective Devices”. However, Form 542-1018 does include some information you may find useful for completing your application. Step 2 – Mail the completed Joint Application to COE in Rock Island and DNR in Des Moines at the addresses in the instructions. Be sure to include DNR Form 542-1034 in the mailing to the DNR.</p><p>The Joint Application Form is designed to “jointly” trigger review by the three programs – COE, DNR Sovereign Lands/Environmental Review, and DNR Flood Plain Management.</p><p>The reviews will happen simultaneously – and responses are coordinated.</p><p>Step 3 – Wait for a response from both agencies.</p><p>Kelly Stone – IDNR Flood Plain Management Program – updated 8-15-2012</p>
