Tennessee Hydrologic Determination (HD)
We recently completed another hydrologic determination (HD) in Campbell County, in the State of Tennessee for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). These were completed by our certified hydrologic professionals which are required by Tennessee law and are conducted by our trained field staff. These determinations use a combination of primary and secondary field indicators for the assessment. The secondary indicators include assess geomorphology, hydrology, and biology related characteristics within the watercourse to identify if it is a wet weather conveyance.
We are now preparing the Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit (ARAP) for the streams identified within the site boundary and also preparing the Nationwide Permit (NWP) Application for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District.
