Dear Mr. Medlin;
RE: Draft 401 Certification conditions
Permit # 92172
New Hanover County
Your request for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
abovementioned project has been reviewed by the Wilmington
Regional Office and Central Office of the Division of
Environmental Management. Based on this review, we believe that
the Certification can be issued for this project provided that
proper design and monitoring of the proposed mitigation site be
agreed upon in writing by yourself and the Division. The
following conditions are offered for your review and discussion.
After final agreement on the conditions, I will need a letter
from you stating your intent to comply with these conditions.
1. Conduct an ecological investigation of the wetland area
to be filled adjacent to the small drainageway.
This survey will prepare a plant species list for each of
the tree, sapling, shrub and herbaceous layers with
estimates of cover by species where possible. This will
provide a baseline by which to judge mitigation success.
2. Plant appropriate wetland plant species as indicated by
the above analysis. Planting density should result in a
final plant survival of about 300 stems per acre after
three years unless the ecological investigation documents
a lower existing tree density. The following tree
species are suggested: red maple, sweet gum, loblolly
pine, and either willow oak or water oak as well as other
species documented on the site. Oak species are to be
added to increase the wildlife value of the site. A
final list of species to be planted shall be provided and
approved by DEM.

3. A minimum of four permanent vegetation monitoring plots
shall be established. Plots should be monitored
immediately after planting and at the end of each growing
season for three years. Plants present shall be counted
and identified to species where *possible. Recordings of
soil chroma, color and hue shall be made at these times
and reported.
4. Hydrology sufficient to meet the criteria outlined in the
1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual must
be documented. Permanent monitoring wells will be
installed during the first growing season after planting
for this purpose.
5. After the final elevation is established on the
mitigation site, soil shall be stripped from the wetland
area to be filled and deposited on the 1.89 acre created
wetland site. Trees will then be planted at appropriate
densities on the site. A temporary, annual ground cover
will be planted to prevent erosion.
6. Success shall be defined as survival of at least 300
trees (or saplings) per acre of the desired species (or
fewer if docuemnted by the ecological investigation)
after three years and the successful demonstration of
hydrology after three years or less. If these measures
are not achieved, immediate measures will be taken by the
applicant to meet these criteria.
7. Any deviations from these conditions will result in
revocation of the 401 Certification unless DEM agrees in
writing to these changes.
8. Four copies of the annual
shall be submitted to DEM
other agencies.
Please contact me by June 10,
these mitigation plans. If you hi
contact Mr. Ron Ferrell or myself
mitigation monitoring report
for review by ourselves and
1992 to discuss and finalize
ave any questions, please

Waters)
Mr. Rick Medlin
Post Office Box 7284
Wilmington, North Carolina 28406
Dear Mr. Medlin:
Reference your application of April 1, 1992, for Department of the Army
authorization to place fill material in wetlands adjacent to Doctor's Branch,
a headwaters tributary of Barnard's Creek, off 17th Street Extension in
Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The proposal is to fill 4.45
acres of wetlands and to create 1.85 acres of wetlands, resulting in a net
loss of 2.6 acres of wetlands.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated
waters.
Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided you receive a section 401
water quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management and, in the coastal area, a consistency determination from the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. You should contact Mr. John
Dorney, telephone [phone], regarding water quality certification, and
Mr. Steve Benton, telephone [phone], regarding consistency
determination. This NWP does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain
other required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the NWP authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this
verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period, the NWP
authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with
any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during the 2 years,
the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such
that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the
NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are
under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will remain authorized
provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of the NWP's

-2-
expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has
been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the
authorization.
This permit is valid provided that 1.85 acres of high ground is altered to
become a viable wetland, as outlined in Mr. Steve Morrison's April 1, 1992,
application cover letter. As proposed, the mitigation plan calls for grading
a high ground borrow area to at or below adjacent wetland elevations. A layer
of hydric soil from the proposed fill areas, approximately 6 to 12 inches,
will be spread over this area. The fill area's wetland root mat will be
disked into the hydric soil. According to your mitigation specialist, this
method should revegetate the area successfully. If revegetation has not
occurred to our satisfaction within 2 years, the area will be planted with
nursery stock and monitored for a further appropriate time period.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

I have enclosed a joint application form for a Nationwide 26 PDN
and 401 certification for Mr. Rick Medlin. His tract is located on
the south side of the 17th St. extension in New Hanover County.
You will note that he is offering mitigation for the proposed fill
area located along the draw on the northwest side of the tract.
The proposed mitigation area is in the southwest corner of the
tract. she proposed mitigation area would serve as a borrow area
and be the source of fill material on the site. The grade would be
taken down to just below the elevation contour of the adjoining
wetland to insure proper groundwater hydrology. Afterward, a 6-12"
layer of hydric soil from the proposed fill area would be spread
over the mitigation area. The previously removed and stockpiled
wetland root mat would then be transported to the mitigation area
and disced into the hydric soil.
This mitigation procedure was recommended by Mr. Carl Bates who is
the president of Plants for Tomorrow, Inc. (see enclosed
literature). I discussed soil and plant types to be mitigated with
him and this method gave us the best chance for re-vegetation with
the hydrophytic plant types. In his opinion, the root stock will
sprout successfully if the site preparation is handled in this
manner.
If after two years the vegetation is not successfully established,
the owner would plant nursery stock specimens of the native wetland
shrubs in the mitigation area.

Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands

DEM Project # 92172
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 4.45 acres of wetlands for
residential development, the Keys at 17th Street located at
Wilmington in New Hanover County, we have determined that the
proposed fill can be covered by General Water Quality
Certification No. 2671 issued January 21, 1992. A copy of the
General Certification is attached. This Certification may be
used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers'
Nationwide Permit No. 26. An additional condition is that
wetland mitigation is required for this project as outlined in my
letter of 2 June 1992 and agreed upon by you in your letter of 5
June 1992. The final tree survival rate shall be 200 trees per
acre to mirror the wetland you are trying to replace.
