Dear Ms. Frye and Ms. Strickland,
PAYMEi~T
RECEIVED
On behalf of Masonboro Sound Development, LLC., we are requesting authorization from the
USACE and DWQ to utilize a NWP 29 for the placement of fill into 0.425 acres of Section 404
jurisdictional wetlands and a NWP 33 for 0.237 acres of temporary wetland impacts for the
construction of the proposed project. A copy of this PCN has also been provided directly to Ms.
Joanne Steenhuis in the DWQ Wilmington Field Office.
The site is located on in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Foxwood Lane and Chalice
Lane, south of Wilmington, in New Hanover County. The project is approximately 14.12 acres in
size and is located in the Cape Fear River basin. The wetland delineation was reviewed and
approved by Ms. Jennifer Frye on July 21, 2005 (AID #200500625). A copy of the signed JD
Survey has been provided as an Appendix to the enclosed PCN.
The current request is for 0.425 acres of impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands (see

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http•//h2o enr state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Mitigation for 0 425 acres of permanent impacts and 0 237 acres of temporary impacts to 404
wetlands will consist of the preservation of 3 35 acres of onsite wetlands remaining in the
post development condition The post-development wetlands will be preserved through the

Impact Justification
The proposed project has been designed avoid and minimize wetland impacts to the
greatest extent possible. The project will result in 0.425 acres of permanent wetland
impacts and 0.237 acres of temporary wetland impacts as a result of construction of the
project's infrastructure. No wetland impacts will occur as a result of lot fill.
Permanent Impacts from Infrastructure
The proposed project will result in 0.448 acres of permanent impact to onsite wetlands.
The majority of the proposed permanent impacts (0.414 acres) will occur as a result of
construction of the access roads. New Hanover County is requiring the construction of
the section of road which will connect Skeet Road and Beacon Drive in order to create an
additional collector road within the surrounding development. Due to Wetland A being
located entirely within the proposed ROW, impacts could not be avoided and Wetland A
will be completely removed by construction of the connector road. In an effort to
minimize impacts to Wetland B, the connector road was designed to curve along the
outer edge of Wetland B as much as possible while still meeting the minimum curve radii
allowed by NCDOT Standards. This design results in the avoidance of impacts to
Wetland B to the greatest extent possible by impacting only the outer fringes of the
wetland. The alternative design would have resulted in the road running straight through
the wetland, creating additional wetland impacts by creating an isolated wetland pocket
west of the road. Approximately 0.033 acres of permanent wetland impacts are proposed
to Wetland D as a result of the construction of the eastern access road. These impacts are
necessary for the back slopes needed to return road fill to existing grade.
Permanent/Tem~orar~Impacts from Construction of Storm Overflow Drawdown System
Due to the frequent flooding in the area, New Hanover County Engineering Department
required provisions within the plans so that wetlands would not remain inundated for
extended periods of time to help alleviate flooding problems within the area. In the
existing condition, once the wetlands are saturated, surface water from a storm event
naturally sheetflows over uplands. However, in the post-development condition the
elevations of the surrounding development will prevent the wetlands from sheetflowing
over uplands. The Storm Overflow Drawdown System has been designed to allow excess
water to drain from the onsite wetlands following a storm event. This system will
prevent over saturation of the onsite wetlands, which could result in the accumulation of
surface water and an increased potential for flooding. The Storm Drawdown System has
been designed to install drop inlets at the elevation of the 25yr, 24 hour storm event. The
25 yr, 24 hr storm was routed for each depressed area within the wetlands in which a drop
inlet will be placed. The rims of the drop inlets are set at an elevation for the stage of the
25 yr, 24 hr. storm, see Sheet C-8. A small orifice (2" to 4") in each of the drop inlets
will allow runoff to drain slowly over an extended period of time.
The purpose of the design of the Storm Overflow Drawdown System is two-fold; (1) to
provide flood prevention and (2) maintain the existing hydroperiod of the onsite
wetlands. The design will allow the onsite wetlands to perform their natural function of
absorbing and containing runoff to prevent flooding during storm events. Since the
onsite wetlands will no longer be able to sheetflow over uplands, the discharge structures
will allow the excess water to drain back into onsite ponds. By draining the surface

waters over an extended period of time, the onsite wetlands' natural hydroperiod will be
maintained without the potential for over-saturation. Without the discharge structures
removing excess water, the onsite wetlands' hydroperiod could be significantly
lengthened. The onsite wetlands consist of Carolina Bays which are saturated to the soil
surface during the growing season, but are very rarely inundated. This is evidenced by a
lack of biological indicators identifying frequent inundation, including a lack of
herbaceous vegetation adapted to survive periods of inundation. Therefore, without the
discharge structures, the hydrologic regime of the onsite wetlands would be significantly
altered, resulting in a permanent alteration of the vegetative composition and habitat
function of these wetlands. The discharge structures will be installed at the 25 yr, 24
hour storm event elevation (> 1.0 feet above natural grade), so that only surface water
from storm/flood events is drained from the wetlands. The drop inlets will not drain
stormwater from average rainfall events or ground water from the onsite wetlands.
The construction of the Storm Overflow Drawdown System will result in 0.0008 acres of
permanent wetland impacts and 0.237 acres of temporary impacts to Wetlands B and D.
The permanent wetland impacts will occur from the installation of the drop inlets which
allow excess stormwater to drain out of the wetland. The temporary impacts are needed
to facilitate the installation of the drainage pipes, as well as allow a temporary work
corridor during construction of the Storm Overflow Drawdown System. The piping will
be entrenched into the wetlands, backfilled with original spoil and returned to natural
grade. There will be no additional fill placed in this area. Upon completion of the
installation of the drainage structures and piping, the temporary impact areas will be
graded to natural grade to remove any ruts, and allowed to re-vegetate naturally through
natural recruitment.
Overall, wetland impacts have been avoided and minimized by minimizing impacts to
those needed for infrastructure and flood prevention only. There will be no wetland
impacts from lot fill. Wetland impacts have also be avoided and minimized by
concentrating the majority of permanent impacts (0.391 acres) to Wetlands A and B,
which are hydrologically isolated within the site, and have the lowest functional value as
a result of historic site disturbance. There are no impacts proposed for Wetland C.
Wetland impacts have further been minimized through the design of the connector road
to meet minimum NCDOT curve radii, which moved the road to the outer edges of
Wetland B.
In order to prevent future impacts to onsite wetlands, restrictive covenant language will
be incorporated into the Home Owners Association documents. A copy of the Corps
standard Restrictive Covenant language, provided in the "Wilmington District Process for
Preservation of Mitigation Property", dated November 25, 2003, has been provided as
Appendix 3.

Restrictive Covenant Language
"The areas shown on the recorded plat (identify the plat by title, date, and
recording data) as conservation areas shall be maintained in perpetuity in their
natural or mitigated condition. No person or entity shall perform any of the
following activities on such conservation area:
a. fill, grade, excavate or perform any other land disturbing activities
b. cut, mow, burn, remove, or harm any vegetation
c. construct or place any roads, trails, walkways, buildings, mobile homes,
signs, utility poles or towers, or any other permanent or temporary
structures
d. drain or otherwise disrupt or alter the hydrology or drainage ways of the
conservation area
e. dump or store soil, trash, or other waste
f. graze or water animals, or use for any agricultural or horticultural
purpose
This covenant is intended to ensure continued compliance with the mitigation
condition of a Clean Water Act authorization issued by the United States of
America, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, Action ID (To be
determined), and therefore may be enforced by the United States of America. This
covenant is to run with the land, and shall be binding on the Owner, and all parties
claiming under it."
