FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
ALBEMARLE PLANTATION
PAGE #2
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
The project site is a shoal area located 1900 ft ESE from Drummond Point, Chowan County in the
mouth of Yeopim River and the Albemarle Sound. The site is located near the approximate
boundary of Chowan and Perquimans counties. The bottom in the general area of the proposed
development is sandy with water depths ranging from -4 ft to -8 ft below normal water level
(NWL). The applicant has constructed a 212 slip marina upstream of the development site that is
capable of accommodating vessels up to 60 ft long.
The water depths at the marina range from -6 ft to -8 ft. Vessels that use the marina access
Albemarle Sound via a marked channel that crosses the shoal area. The waters of Yeopim River
in this area are classified as SC and are closed to shellfish taking. The waters of Albemarle Sound
in this area are classified as SB and are open to shellfish taking.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
In order to provide safe navigation passage for vessels that use the existing marina, the applicant
proposes to excavate the shoal area that crosses the existing marked channel from Albemarle
Sound to Yeopim River. The applicant proposes to dig a channel through the shoal area to a water
depth of-7 ft below NWL.
The proposed channel will be approximately 747 ft long and 48 ft wide at the top of the channel
bottom and 30 ft wide at the bottom. The bottom material will be excavated from a barge by a
crane and the spoil will be placed in a scow and transported to a marine contractor's docking
facility adjacent to the Chowan River Bridge, US 17, Chowan County. The spoil will be off
loaded to dump trucks and transported to an upland disposal site known as the Waff Contracting
Mine Site, NCDENR DLQ Mining Permit #16-1, in Chowan County west of SR 1204.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The development proposal will disturb approximately 35,856 sq ft of Public Trust Area and
Estuarine Water Areas of Environmental Concern. Approximately 2,374 cubic yards of bottom
material will be removed and placed at the upland disposal site.
Negative environmental impacts appear to be largely temporary in nature, and this project should
mitigate the frequent increase in water turbidity associated with transit of vessels with minimal
bottom clearance.
An environmental assessment has been completed and a finding of no significant impact was issued
on May 11, 2003 for this project.

Channel Within Yeopim River/Albemarle Sound by Albemarle Plantation in Perquimans County.
The proposed development, as outlined in the Environmental Assessment(EA),includes dredging a
new channel within the Yeopim River to access the Albemarle Sound. The project need is to allow
for safe passage of water vessels accessing the Albemarle Sound. The proposed channel dimensions
include a 30-foot wide bottom, 48-foot wide top, with a depth of 7-feet below normal water level
(NWL). The new channel will extend along a 747-foot long area approximately 1,900 feet off of
Drummond Point, beyond the NWL, and would be oriented in a north-south direction; more
specifically, 303 feet from the existing navigation green daybeacon#3,extending 444 feet north of
the same daybeacon. Dredge spoil disposal will be placed on an approved high ground area.
This EA/FONSI are prerequisites for the processing of a Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) Major permit application by the Division of Coastal Management.
It is concluded that the proposed project will not result in significant impacts to the
environment provided that it can be permitted and subsequently developed consistent with the State
guidelines in the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission and the avoidance/mitigation measures
contained in the EA. An Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)will not be prepared for this project.

Dear Mr. Huggett:
Reference the application of the Albemarle Plantation Marina for a Department of the
Army(DA) permit to excavate a channel through an existing shoal located at the mouth
of the Yeopim River in the Albemarle Sound, near Drummond Point, Perquimans and
Chowan County,North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by the
application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following conditions be included in the State authorization:
1. Prior to any excavation activities, the permittee shall conduct a survey for submerged
aquatic vegetation within the channel alignment. This survey should be submitted to the Corps
and the Division of Coastal Management.
2. The permittee will be required to prepare and implement a compensatory mitigation
plan to address any impacts to submerged aquatic vegetation associated with this project.
3. All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict compliance with
the permit plans,which are a part of this permit.
4. The permittee understands and agrees that, if future operations by the United States
require the removal,relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized,
or if, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure
or work shall cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters,
the permittee will be required, upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers, to remove,relocate,

-2-
or alter the structural work or obstructions caused thereby, without expense to the United States.
No claim shall be made against the United States on account of any such removal or alteration.
5. In order to protect aquatic resources, no excavation or filling will be permitted
between the dates of April 1 and September 30 of any year without the prior approval
of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management.
6. Excavation will not exceed—7 feet below the elevation of mean low water (MLW).
7. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within
waters or vegetated wetlands are not authorized.
8. The permittee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals
prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard, through regulations or otherwise, on authorized facilities.
9. The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in conformance
with the terms and conditions of this permit. The permittee is not relieved of this requirement
if he abandons the permitted activity without having it transferred to a third party.
10. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase
in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such
that the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout
waters by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's
or less in all saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout
waters, are not considered significant.

Subject: ID No. 200310607, Albemarle Plantation, Perquimans County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Bland:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject
Public Notice(PN), dated May 27, 2003. The applicant, Albemarle Plantation,has submitted an
application for processing under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA)-Corps permit
processing agreement. The PN addresses a proposal to excavate a channel through a shoal
located at the mouth of Yeopim River and Albemarle Sound. These comments are submitted in
accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C.
661-667d) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act(ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543). They are to be used in your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines
(40 CFR 230) and in your public interest review (33 CFR 320.4) as they relate to protection of
fish and wildlife resources.
By letter dated March 11, 2003,Ms. Kristie Corson, Assistant Permits and Consistency
Coordinator for the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management(DCM) sent the Service a
copy of the Environmental Assessment(EA), dated February 18, 2003, for the project and
requested comments from the Service be sent to the North Carolina Intergovernmental Review
Clearinghouse. By letter dated April 23, 2003, the Service provided comments. Our review of
the subject PN indicates that the project is unchanged from described in the EA. Therefore,these
comments will make reference to the EA.
Background, Need, and Purpose
Albemarle Plantation development has a 212-slip marina on the shores of Yeopim Creek with
water depths near the marina of six to eight feet. Depths in this range remain consistent from the
marina area to the opening to Albemarle Sound where depths range from 10 to 20 feet with the
exception of a shoal area where depths range from four to five feet. The shoal is approximately

1,900 feet east-southeast from Drummond Point in Chowan County. This area of shoaling is
approximately 747 feet long and is considered insufficient for reliable and safe navigation for
vessels that use the marina and range in length from 16 to 30 feet.
The EA addressed the need for action in Section III which includes a brief description of the
desired course of action, i.e., dredging the shoal area to a mean depth of seven feet at the normal
water level (NWL). This presentation of a specific course of action is inappropriate in the
statement of need and should be introduced in the following section on possible alternatives. A
more accurate statement of the purpose of action is to reduce navigation hazards for vessels
moving between Albemarle Plantation and Albemarle Sound.
Alternatives Considered and the Preferred Alternative
Section IV of the EA considered a no action alternative and two action alternatives. The no
action alternative was deemed unsuitable since vessels using the present channel would be
limited to those with drafts of less than two feet. Continued access to the marina would be
jeopardized. The"minimize dredge" alternative addressed only the reduction in width of the area
to be dredged. This alternative was also considered unacceptable since it would pose a hazard to
vessels passing in opposite directions through the dredged area. Furthermore, the reduced width
would require more frequent maintenance.
The preferred alternative would dredge an area of approximately 35,856 square feet(ft'), 0.8 of
an acre, and remove approximately 2,374 cubic yards of sediment. Dredging would be done with
a barge-mounted, clamshell dredge and the dredge material would be contained on the barge.
The material would be transported to an upland spoil containment site, the Waff Contracting
Mine Site in Chowan County.
The dredged channel would have bottom and top widths of 30 feet and 48 feet, respectively.
These widths are considered necessary for vessels to pass in the channel. As presented in the EA
statement of need,the dredged channel would have a mean depth of seven feet at the NWL.
Initial construction would occur during the period from November 1 through February 14 to
minimize adverse impacts to fish spawning and nursery areas.
A major design alternative not considered in the EA is a realignment of this channel away from
the shoal area and into deeper water. There is no discussion of the overall size of the shoal. If
the shoal is not large,the navigation channel could be designed to completely avoid areas of
shallow water and eliminate the need for dredging. In a memorandum dated December 3, 2002,
the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries stated that a figure with existing water depths,
including the entire channel area from the marina to outside the proposed dredging area, should
be included with project plans. The February 2003 EA does not have such a figure. The Service
recommends that a more detailed description of water depths in the area be considered and an
evaluation of possible channel realignments that avoid the need for dredging.
2

The description of the preferred alternative fails to discuss the frequency and magnitude of
routine maintenance dredging that would be required. There is also no discussion of the
conditions that would constitute a navigation emergency in the channel and the procedures that
would be implemented to rectify emergency shoaling. These aspects of the project are important
since they would result in periodic increases in turbidity and sedimentation. Emergency shoaling
could also occur outside the environmentally favorable period for initial construction. These
aspects of the project should be addressed in detail by the applicant.
The project description does not discuss the length of time that the approved disposal area, to be
used for initial construction, could be used for subsequent maintenance dredging. Project
documentation should include a discussion of the present disposal capacity of the Waff
Contracting Mine Site,the average annual amount of maintenance material that would need to be
deposited, and the location of potential disposal alternatives when this site is no longer available.
Direct Impacts of the Preferred Alternative on Non-listed Species
The project would directly impact the animals and habitats in the area to be dredged. Organisms
adapted to the present depths within the estuarine bottoms would be removed and all impacted
species may not be able to adapt to and recolonize the deeper channel bottom. Lippson and
Lippson(1997,p. 116) state that almost all the worms, clams, snails, and other burrowers and
wanderers of the Chesapeake Bay intertidal flats also live in abundance in the subtidal shallows.
Bottom-dwelling polychaetes, oligochaetes, amphipods, isopods, and the hard clam(Mercenaria
mercenaria) ingest both phytoplankton and zooplankton. Benthic dwelling invertebrates and
organic bottom materials are fed upon by fishes, crabs, and probably shrimp. Expansive,
shallow, sand areas are important for blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) foraging (North Carolina
Sea Grant Program [hereafter NCSGP] 1996,p. 16).
The Service is concerned that the preferred alternative may eliminate or degrade areas of
submerged aquatic vegetation(SAV). In the generally turbid waters of eastern North Carolina,
light penetration is normally sufficient to support SAV to a depth of six feet at mean lower low
water(Ferguson and Wood 1994 and references therein). The EA states (p. 1)that the sandy
shallows of Yeopim River supports moderate coverage of"water milfoil,"presumably Eurasian
water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), and sparse populations of widgeon grass (Ruppia
maritime), a euryhaline and panlatitudinal species. While the discussion of cumulative impacts
in the EA notes (p. 4) that SAV "exists in the area" and is most prolific along the shallow
margins of Yeopim Creek and River, there is no direct statement of whether areas of SAV would
be dredged. The EA only notes (p. 4)that the"relatively small project area(35,856 sq. ft.) is less
likely to support SAV's than the surrounding . . . shallows of Yeopim Creek and River."
However, there is no discussion of environmental differences between the shoal with four-to-five
foot water depths and the nearshore shallows where SAV is known to occur. The applicant
should state whether areas of SAV would be dredged. This determination should be made by on-
site surveys. Prior to such surveys,background information should be reviewed on SAV in the
general project area. Ms. Elizabeth Noble, of the Department of Geological, Environmental, and
3

Marine Sciences at Elizabeth City State University, is familiar with past work on SAV in the
Albemarle Sound area and may be contacted(ph. 252-335-3995 or ebnoblekmail.eesu.edu )
for information. A November 2002, color aerial photograph of the project area supplied by Ms.
Noble indicates that SAV beds occur in the vicinity of the proposed dredging.
If SAV occurs in or near the dredge site, the plants would be adversely affected. Construction
would create turbid conditions. The PN notes that dewatering would take place at the dredge
location. High turbidity reduces the penetration of sunlight necessary for photosynthesis. If
SAV is generally limited to areas with water depths of less than six feet, dredging to increase
depths from four or five feet to seven feet may permanently eliminate approximately a half acre
(30-foot bottom width x 747 feet/43,560 square feet per acre) of actual or potential SAV habitat.
Furthermore, suspended solids may drift out of the immediate project area and settle on nearby
SAV burying the plants entirely or blocking sunlight needed for growth. Dredging may release
contaminants held within the sediment into the water column. Harmful substances include toxic
metals, organohalogen compounds, and pesticides. During resuspension toxic substances may
become adsorbed to small particles of clay or organic matter which can be ingested by aquatic
filter feeders. The potential for such adverse impacts should be addressed by the applicant.
Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Non-listed Species
The cumulative impacts section of the EA mentions (p. 4) SAV,but does not address long-term
impacts to such vegetation. The Service believes that the project could diminish the long-term
viability of any nearby SAV by altering natural currents and other physical bottom
characteristics. Furthermore, any increase in the speed, size, or number of vessels crossing a
channel through an area of SAV may reduce the long-term viability of this vegetation. The
important ecological functions provided by areas of SAV are dependent on the physical and
biological characteristics of surrounding areas(NCSGP 1996,p. 16). Areas of shallow sand and
natural flow characteristics of the areas are required for the proper functioning of seagrass
meadows and facilitate the passive colonization of SAV by larval organisms. Project planning
should follow guidelines of the North Carolina Sea Grant Program(1996,p. 16)which state that
"protection of seagrass beds should extend 10 meters [33 feet] from the edge of the bed. No
direct disturbances should occur to the bed or to this surrounding shallow sand area." The
Service supports this conservation measure.
Direct and Indirect Impacts of the Preferred Alternative on Federally Protected Species
The EA states that information from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program indicates that
there are no records of federally threatened or endangered species within one mile of the project
area. The Service concurs that no federally threatened or endangered species under the
jurisdiction of the Service have been reported in Perquimans County. Barge-mounted, clamshell
dredging in waters deeper than three feet and in or near areas of SAV could result in harm to the
federally endangered West Indian manatee(Trichechus manatus)if conducted during the period
when this species is most likely to occur in North Carolina(June through October). While this
4

r
species has not been reported near the project area,manatees do migrate through North Carolina
coastal water,primarily during the five month period given above. The proposed restriction of
dredging to the period from November 1 through February 14 to protect inshore nursery areas
would also reduce the risk of harm to the manatee to the point where more formal protective
measures would not be required. However, additional information is required on: (1) SAV at or
near the area to be dredged; (2)the time periods for maintenance dredging; and, (3)the
definition of, and time restrictions on, emergency dredging. The Service will assess this
information when provided to determine potential impacts to the manatee.
The federally endangered shortnose sturgeon(Acipenser brevirostrum) is under the jurisdiction
of the National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS). Adult sturgeons spend much of their life in
estuaries and the ocean except during the spawning season, February to May, when they
migrate to freshwater(Rohde et al. 1994,pp. 61-62). This species and the Atlantic sturgeon(A.
oxyrhynchus) are bottom dwellers that prefer deep water with a soft substrate. These species feed
on worms, crustaceans, insect larvae, small clams, and small fish(Rohde et al. 1994, p. 62).
Measures to minimize harm to the shortnose sturgeon should be coordinated with the NMFS.
Summary and Recommendations
The Service supports efforts to ensure safe and reliable navigation in coastal waters. We also
recognize the valuable role that coastal waters play as habitat for both recreational and
commercial fish species and as waterfowl habitat. To conserve and protect this habitat,we
believe every effort should be made to avoid and minimize the adverse environmental impacts of
navigation projects. In regard to the present proposal,we offer the following recommendations
for consideration by both the NCDCM and the Corps:
1. The analysis of alternatives should discuss the overall size of the shoal area, examine
water depths in areas surrounding the shoal, and consider realignments of the navigation
channel that would avoid or minimize the need for dredging;
2. Environmental documentation should use all available information and the results of
actual site surveys to determine the extent of SAV in and near the area proposed for
dredging;
3. If SAV occurs in the actual footprint, or within 33 feet, of the proposed channel,the
applicant should examine areas surrounding the current channel and the presence of SAV
within these surrounding areas with a goal of realigning the channel into areas without
SAV;
4. Project plans should incorporate all feasible measures to minimize turbidity associated
with dredging,transport of material to the disposal site, and actual disposal; and,
5

r
5. If dredging produces permanent damage to areas of SAV,the applicant should be
required to develop and implement a compensatory mitigation plan that would result in
no net loss of this valuable habitat
If dredging, including all future maintenance and emergency work, is limited by a permit
condition to the period between November 1 and February 14,the Service believes that the
proposed work is not likely to adversely affect any species protected by the ESA. Therefore, the
Corps' requirements under Section 7(a)(2) of the Act would be satisfied. We remind you that
obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if (1)new information reveals
impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not
previously considered; (2)this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not
considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be
affected by the identified action.
Considering the high fish and wildlife habitat values in the project area,the Service recommends
that a DA permit not be issued at this time. Additional information should be provided on the
extent of adverse impacts to SAV,possible alignments to avoid all dredging, and seasonal
restrictions on maintenance and emergency dredging.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project. Please advise us of any
action taken by the Wilmington Corps District. Any questions regarding these comments should
be directed to Howard Hall at(919) 856-4520, extension 27,the address above, or by e-mail at

MEMORANDUM
TO: Doug Huggett, Major Permits Processing Coordinator

FROM: David McHenry,Northeast Coastal Region Coordinator i�
Habitat Conservation Section
DATE: June 7, 2003
SUBJECT: CAMA Dredge/Fill permit application for Albemarle Plantation, Perquimans County,North
Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(Commission)reviewed the
permit application with regard to impacts of the project on fish and wildlife resources. Commission
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act(G.S. 113A-100
through 113A-128), as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401,as amended; 16
U.S.C.661 et seq.).
Albemarle Plantation is proposing excavation of a channel in the Yeopim River to facilitate navigation
by large vessels that utilize the subdivision's marina. The proposal involves excavation of approximately 2,374
cubic yards of sediment from a shoal at the mouth of the river. The excavated channel would measure 50 by
747 feet and have an average final depth of 7 feet. A Finding of No Significant Impact(FONSI)was issued for
the project by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management on March 11,2003.
In a memorandum dated April 11, 2003 to Ms. Chrys Baggett with the State Clearinghouse, a
recommendation was made by Mr. Ron Sechler with the National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS)to
modify the issued FONSI to include a pre-construction survey of the proposed excavation area for the
presence of submerged aquatic vegetation(SAV). If significant amounts of SAV were found in the area,
NMFS suggested that alternative channel alignments should be explored. Although a FONSI has already
been issued,the Commission supports the recommendations of NMFS because of the importance of SAV to
waterfowl and the possibility that excavation in the proposed area may affect significant amounts of those
resources. Therefore, before issuance of a permit for the project as proposed, we recommend that the status of
any SAV surveys be determined and supporting justification provided by the applicant if those surveys have
not or will not be conducted.

Dear Mr. Perry:
The Washington Regional Office received a copy of your LAMA
application for your proposed dredging project located at the mouth
of Yeopim River on May 16, 2003. Staff review of the plans and
specifications has determined that the project, as proposed,
consists of activities that will not pose surface water quality
threats from stormwater runoff since no significant new impervious
area is proposed. The Director has determined that projects that
are reviewed and approved by the Division as not posing water
quality threats from stormwater runoff should not be subject to the
stormwater management permitting requirements of 15A NCAC 2H. 1000.
For this reason, we are informing you by way of this letter that
your project will not require a stormwater management permit.
Please keep in mind that this determination does not affect your
legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by
the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources,
Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal, State or Local
Government. In addition, any future modifications to the project
will require additional review from this office to assure that
stormwater impacts are not an issue.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning
this matter, please contact Mr. Roger Thorpe at (252) 946-6481,
extension 214.

authorization to excavate a channel through an existing shoal located at the mouth of the
Yeopim River in the Albemarle Sound, near Drummond Point, Perquimans and Chowan
County, North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under this
general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your application will be
accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Comments from
Federal review agencies will be furnished to the State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process for any reason,
you will be informed regarding its further management. If there are no unresolved differences
in State-Federal positions or policies, the final action taken on your application by the State will
result in your receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the general
permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such confirmation should you
begin work.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: Doug Huggett, DCM Major Permit Processing Coordinator
THROUGH: Mike Street, Chief Habitat Section
FROM: Sara E. Winslow, Northern District Manager��'"
SUBJECT: Albemarle Plantation
DATE: May 19, 2003
The NC Division of Marine Fisheries submits the following comments pursuant to
General Statute 113-131.
Yeopim River/Creek and the adjacent waters of Albemarle Sound function as
spawning and nursery areas for blueback herring and alewife. White perch, yellow
perch, American and hickory shad, striped bass, spot, croaker, flounder, blue crabs and
other commercially and recreationally important species also utilize the area as a
nursery.
The applicant proposes to excavate a 747 ft long channel, with a 48 ft top and
30 ft wide bottom, through a shoal area. The proposed depth is 7 ft.
This agency noted in the review of the EA that the plat for the project should
show the existing water depths for the entire "channel" area from the marina to the
outside of the proposed dredge area. Only the contour lines and the existing shoal
depths are shown. The connecting depths are not provided. The channel should not
exceed the connecting depth, once that is determined. A SAV survey needs to be
conducted along the proposed channel alignment to determine if present.

The Division feels that the proposed width of the channel, 48 ft top and 30 ft
bottom is rather excessive. However, due to the dynamic nature of the area a smaller
channel could require more frequent routine maintenance. Thus, this agency would
approve of the width of the channel.
The importance of the area as a nursery was noted above. This agency requests
a dredging moratorium from February 15 through October 31. This moratorium will
ensure the environmental integrity of the area is protected during critical times of usage
by the previously mentioned species.
The Division approves of this project if the issues raised above are addressed.

Dear Mr. Alphin:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for development of property located 1900 feet ESE of Drummond Point, Chowan/Perquimans
counties, at the mouth of Yeopim River and Albemarle Sound. It was received on March 11, 2003, and
appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is May 25,
2003. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the
review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should
consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an
extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed
development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the
property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your

a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along the road
right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result
in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required,you will be contacted by
the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify me in
writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.
