MEMORANDUM FOR Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune,
ATTN: AC/S-EMD/Warren, Marine Corps Base,
Camp Lejeune, NC 28452-0004
SUBJECT: Action ID No. 199505124, Modifications to MILCON P-933
1. This correspondence confirms the 10 December 1996, meeting between
Mr. John Townson of USMC Environmental Branch, Ms. Debbie Bryant of LANTDIV,
and Messrs. Mickey Sugg and Allen Davis of my Regulatory Branch, regarding the
modification of wetland impacts associated with your Individual Department of
the Army (DA) permit issued 28 March 1996 for the construction of MILCON P-933
located in the Greater Sandy Run Area, on the west side of Highway 17, north
of Folkstone, Onslow County, North Carolina. Also, please reference the
5 August 1996 and 20 December 1996 receipt of your request to modify this
permit.
2. According to the meeting and the submitted revisions, the original
102.19 acre request for the construction of the multi-purpose training range
included 26.19 acres of high ground development. By the removal of the high
ground impacts, the total wetland impacts will be reduced to 76 acres. In
addition, the roads have been redesigned to decrease the width from 20 feet to
approximately 17 feet. This construction modification will further reduce
impacts to wetlands from 76 acres to 74.47 acres. These corrections will be
noted and our file will document 74.47 acres of wetland impacts replacing the
original 102.19 acres.
3. Despite the corrected acreage of wetland impacts, USMC has agreed to
adhere to the original 102.19 mitigation acreage for the pocosin impacts
associated with P-933. With the completion of Range P-933 pocosin mitigation
site, the excess mitigation acreage will be used by USMC to compensate for
wetland impacts in the proposed MILCON P-028 small arm range project.
P
MILCON P-028.
4. By copy of this letter, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is acknowledging
the high ground acreage inclusion of the original permit request, confirming
the reduced wetland impacts associated with the road construction
modifications, and agreeing that the excess mitigation from P-933 will fully
com ensate for the wetland impacts associated with the construction of
5. Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter. Questions or
comments should be addressed to Mr. Mickey Sugg at telephone [phone].

Reference the proposed Greater Sandy Run Mitigation Bank. Although issues relative to
disposition of the property have prevented finalization of a Memorandum of Agreement
establishing this Bank, we feel it would be appropriate to convene the Mitigation Bank
Review Team (MBRT) to discuss the status of the mitigation plan and to ensure that any
issues regarding the technical merits of the plan have been addressed. If time permits, we
will make a visit to the field to inspect restoration work that has occurred to date.
Accordingly, we have a scheduled a meeting on Wednesday, September 10, 1997, at 10:00
am in Building 1 at the Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune. Please call the undersigned at
[phone] if you are unable to attend.
Sincerely,
Scott McLendon
Regulatory project Manager
