The proposed Ryan's Steak house parking lot sits on a cut-over and extremely disturbed site that
once had a stream on or adicacent to it (according to the Quad sheet). I don't know if it took
place during the break in the Tulloch rule, but the site is now bordered by a ditch which has been
dug quite recently (since the last growing season, and probably this summer). It appears to run
down the property line, assuming the property line is the edge ofthe blue area on Paul Farley's
map.' Given the size of the project and the question of stream location, it may be that we have no
choice but to approve the application. However, the application in item 8b says there will be
additional permit requests in the future. If this is the case, we should require the same of this guy
as we do of any other subdivision as far as delineating cumulative impacts. I found the flags in the
field, but could not locate an identifiable stream. The adjacent landowner had alsoclear-cut his
side of the wetland and had a bulldozer with a root rake out there "cleaning up" that part of the
site. I don't imagine he had any authorization from the Corps for this work, and much of it
looked like it could have been V&, although it was bone dry at the time. Estimate of his work was
1/s acre.
Given the prospects of future impacts, I can't recommend approval until these are identified.
Applicant should also be required to explain the details of the ditches as to when, why, etc. they
were dug.

John - I am writing regarding the Edgar Sparks permit (DWO Project. !9070760) that we
discussed earlier this week. 1 have advised Mr. Sparks of our conversation and
informed him that a stormwater plan would be necessary before the 401 oertification
can be issued. This is also to clarify our conversation where you stated that the 401
would be issued for this particular project if a stormwater pond were added. By this fax
I am also notifying yeu that Mr. Sparks does wish to further pursue;the project and
requests that you do not consider the application as withdrawn. Mr. Sparks will provide
you a copy of the restaurant stormwater plan. I apologize for faxing this but I did not
receive your letter until this week and wish for you to have the response within two
weeks.
Thanks for your help. Have a goad weekend.

Dear Mr. Sparks:
October 17, 1997
DWQ Project #970760
Richmond County {
FILE COPS
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material
into 0.53 acres of waters and/or wetlands located at Hwy 74 in Richmond County for
development of a Ryan's Steak House. Based on this review, we have identified significant
uses which would be removed by this project. These uses are water storage. Furthermore,
insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as
planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, we
are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e)
and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information.
Until we receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers place your project on administrative hold.
Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be
constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these
waters and/or wetlands. Specifically can you construct your commercial development on
one-third acre of wetlands or with a wet detention pond with the wetland fill as planned. A
stormwater pond would be required under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(c)(5)? Any documentation
such as maps and narrative that you can supply to address alternative designs for your project
may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification.
Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and one copy to Ken Averitte at the Fayetteville Regional Office at
Wachovia Bldg., Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 28301. If we do not hear from you in two weeks,
we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project
as withdrawn. I can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.
