Subject: RE: Request for DNR Approval- Cell Tower Replacement - 1531 W Main Carmel Tony, It looks like the portal is down because I am getting errors also. All floodplain administrators are different so I am not sure if they will accept my email or not. If not, you might try running the INFIP report again possibly tomorrow for the site.

I tried putting in the exact location of the proposed tower 39.976978 -86.169669 and it says “No Results Found” Not sure how we can pinpoint the exact location. Can I use your e-mail that states we’re not in the Floodplain to forward to the City Floodplain Administrator? Thanks for your help.

Based on the plans you submitted, the site is not located in the floodway. You can run a new FARA for the specific site of the tower through our Floodplain Portal at https://www.in.gov/dnr/water/surface-water/indiana-floodplain- mapping/indiana-floodplain-information-portal/ which will give you the specific site information.

We will only be doing a tower replacement within the existing compound. Access will be via existing access drive. They may have vehicles outside the compound, but as far as I know, no temporary access is planned. I noticed on the attached report (see below) that a Permit would be required from the DNR as well as the Floodplain Administrator. Is that still required if not doing any new work outside the equipment compound other than staging? Caution: This is an external email. Please take care when clicking links or opening attachments.

The Department of Natural Resources has jurisdiction under the Flood Control Act, IC 14-28-1 for any construction, excavation or fill in the floodway of a river, stream or ditch with a drainage area above the site greater than 1 square mile. Based on the information submitted, it appears that the tower being replaced is not located in the floodway of Williams Creek or Henley Creek. Is any work proposed in the floodway, such as temporary access drive, etc.? If not, approval is not required from DNR. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Attached are the proposed plans along with the Floodway Plan. As I mentioned, this site has been here for years. We are replacing the existing structurally failing tower with a newer one in the same compound. We will not be changing the grade in, or around the existing compound. Please let us know if we can move forward the project, or if additional permits or documentation is required. Thanks for your help.
