1.0 INTRODUCTION
Southern Environmental Group, Inc (SEGi), W.K. Dickson Co, Inc. and CATLIN Engineers and Scientists, on
behalf of the US Marine Corps Base - Camp Lejeune (herein referred to as the "Applicant"), have prepared this
correspondence as a supplement to the Applicant's request for a modification to the existing Department of the
Army Individual Permit (IP) and Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Major Certification, which were last
modified by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the DWQ on 30 August 2010 and 5 October 2010
respectively (see Appendices A and B).
2.0 PERMIT HISTORY
MARSOC was issued a provisional permit on 9 October 2007, which preliminarily authorized the discharge of fill
material into an estimated 12.5 acres (Ac.) of wetlands and 12,800 linear feet (LF) of unnamed tributaries to Stone
Bay, which abuts the New River, a navigable water of the U.S. These calculations were based upon the best
information available during the preparation of the conceptual layout of the complex. During the permit process,
it became necessary to separate the project into three phases: Phase I - Headquarters; Phase 11 - Road
Realignment; and Phase III - Y07-Y08 Development. Under these three permits, more specifically the IP dated
16 October 2008, the Applicant was authorized to permanently discharge fill material into 4.36 Ac. of wetlands
and 3,040 LF of tributaries. With the issuance of the agencies' 2010 pen-nit modifications, the project was
authorized to cumulatively impact 3.73 acres of non-riparian wetlands; 0.61 acre of riparian wetlands; 1,274 linear
feet of intermittent stream and 173 linear feet of perennial stream. To date, all of the impacts have been
completed.
3.0 PURPOSE AND NEED
This request for a modification to the 1P is necessary to support the construction of the MARSOC connector road.
This road will serve as the main entrance into the site. While there is an existing entrance into the complex, it is
located within an area that has been designated for future MARSOC expansion (see Appendix C). With this
understanding, the new connector road was relocated north of the existing entrance. However, at the request of the
North Carolina Department of Transportation, who preferred the placement not be closeer than 200' to the
existing Highway 210 Bridge. Therefore, the connector road was moved further south than what had previously
been proposed.
4.0 PROPOSED IMPACTS
The construction of the connector road requires three (3) road crossings through 404 jurisdictional wetlands and is
anticipated to permanently impact approximately 0.089 acres of bottomland hardwood forest wetlands. To ensure
unauthorized impacts do not take place during the installation of the culverts, the Applicant has provided a 5 foot
construction buffer from the terminus of each culvert. Temporary impacts are anticipated not to exceed 0.023
acres. Once the construction has been completed, the temporary impact areas will be returned to their original
grade and contour and allowed to re-vegetate naturally. Please refer to Appendix D, for plan and profile views and
other relevant information for each impact area. The table on the following page summarizes the proposed
impacts:

Table 4-1. Permit Modification Impact Table
5.0 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
Unfortunately, with the proposed road location, impacts to 404 jurisdictional wetlands cannot be avoided.
However, the Applicant has elected to bridge one of the crossings, which will completely avoid impacts to a
perennial stream and associated riparian wetland system. After adjusting the project's design to meet all federal
and state regulations, the project, as proposed, is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative.
6.0 COMPENSATORY MITIGATION PLAN
In order to adhere to the Environmental Protection Agencies' (EPA's) "no net loss of wetlands" policy, the
Applicant proposes to offset the unavoidable impact of 0.089 acre of non-riparian wetlands, at a mitigation-to-
impact ratio of one and half-to-one (1.5:1), which is proposed to be in the form of non-riparian wetland credit
from the Greater Sandy Run Area Mitigation Bank (GSRA). The GSRA mitigation bank provides current and
future mitigation for impacts to pocosin, pine flat, and bottomland hardwood wetland systems, within the GSRA.
Credits for bottomland hardwood forest are distributed at a 3:1 mitigation-to-impact ratio. Thus, for every acre of
bottomland hardwood impact to take place within the GSRA, 3 bottomland hardwood mitigation credits will be
debited from the bank. With that said, 0.267 acre of bottomland hardwood, wetland mitigation credit is being
proposed to offset the anticipated 0.089 acre of impact. Because the wetland mitigation bank has been functioning
for some time, temporal impacts should not be an issue. Therefore, the proposed 1.5:1 mitigation-to-impact
should be sufficient to offset the proposed impacts and meet the EPA's "no net loss" requirement.
7.0 PERMIT MODIFICATION CUMULATIVE IMPACT SUMMARY
The table below provides the cumulative impacts associated with the every Phase of the MARSOC project:
Non-riparian (P) Riparian (P) Intermittent Stream (P) Perennial Stream (P)

impacting 0.089 acres and temporarily impacting 0.023 acre of non-riparian wetlands. Three road crossings,
through wetlands, are necessary to facilitate the construction of the Stone Bay Connector Road and associated
infrastructure. Compensatory mitigation for the unavoidable impacts is proposed at a 1.5:1 mitigation-to-impact
ratio and is proposed through available credits from the Greater Sandy Run Area Mitigation Bank.

30 August 2010
MEMORANDUM FOR Mr. John'l'o-vvnson, U.S. Marine Corps Base. PSC Box 20004. Camp
Lejeune. North Carolina 2842-0004
SUBJECT: Action ID: 2007 286 067 Issuance of a Permit Modification to support the
construction of the Marine Special Operations Command Complex (Iv1ARSOC) located in the
former Stone Bay Rifle Range Area in Onslow County, North Carolina.
1. In accordance with your complete written request of 9 February 2007, and the ensuing
administrative record, a provisional permit was issued on 26 November 2007 to fill wetlands and
jurisdictional streams pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for the placement ofthe
MARSOC, within the Stone Bay Area, abutting the New River, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
The Corps issued the last individual authorization for the proposed project on 16 October 2008.
2. On 10 August 2010 the Corps received from Cramp Lejeune a document entitled "MARSOC
Permit [Modification and Resolution Document," hereby noted as the resolution document. This
document contained a request to modify the above referenced permit to include additional
impacts of 0.218 acre of permanent wetland till and 0.139 acre of temporary wetland fill. This
document also contained quantification of and a plan to mitigate for temporal losses associated
with erosion control failures.
3. The subject permit is hereby modified to include the impacts and temporal loss described in
the resolution document. There are no other jurisdictional impacts authorized beyond those
covered in the three phase approvals and this modification. The mitigation which covers these
impacts has already been executed as more mitigation has been secured than was needed to
offset actual impacts. All original permit conditions remain in effiect for this newly authorized
work and the applicant is expected to complete the monitoring of the temporary impact sites as
deseribed in section 7.3 of the resolution document. Accordingly, the permit is hereby modified
to include the permanent and temporary impacts for impact areas EE, IfH, PP. QQ. D1. NI. and
P1.
3. During construction of the MARSOC complex, a number of impacts occurred in both
wetlands and streams as a result of the massive land clearing and grading effort required for
construction. Certain stabilization tailures resulted in impacts to approximately 4,031 linear feet
o1'stream channel and 4.7 acres of wetlands.
CESAW-RG (I 145b) 30 August 2010
SU,BJEC1": Action ID: 2007 286 067 Issuance ofa Permit Modification to support the
construction of the Marine Special Operations Command Complex (MARSOC) located in the
former Stone Bay Rifle Range Area in Onslow County. North Carolina.
'T'hese systems were impacted for varying; timeframes and in some cases have been impacted and
restored more than once. Due to the temporal loss resulting from the fill, the Corps further
modifies the permit to require mitigation at a 0.2:1 ratio for the stream impact. At this ratio. the
applicant should obligate 806 tinear feet of stream mitigation to offset the temporal loss.
4. The topography in this eco region of Onslow County- is unique with naturally incised drains
and steeper than expected topography. This topography along; with large amount of soil
disturbance will require vigilance to identify potential future problem areas. Therefore. the
permit is modified to include a longer monitoring period than described in the resolution
document. The restoration areas should be monitored the same as the temporary impact areas
again as described in section 7.3 of the resolution document.
5. It is the Corps' understanding the design build contractors seek to pursue a refund for the
portion of mitigation not needed for completion of the project. Camp L4june executed a total of
3.040 linear feet of stream mitigation (2,953 linear feet purchased from NCEEP and 87 linear
feet permitee responsible mitigation). Based on the Corps' calculation the total mitigation
requirement for the authorized project is 2,253 linear feet (1,447 linear feet for the original
project construction + 806 linear feet for the temporal loss). '113is would leave a net excess of
787 linear feet. The Corps places no requirement on the final dispensation of 787 linear feet of
st7earn credit.
6. Camp Leleune and or its contractor remain responsible lbr properly stabilizing; the work to
date: to avoid future impacts outside the authorized footprint. Any future impacts outside the
authorized footprint will be considered a violation of this permit and may be subject to
administrative penalty assessment.
7. If any change in the authorized work is required because of unforeseen. or altered conditions
or for anv other reason, the revised plans showing the changes must be sent promptly to this
office. Such action is necessary, as revised plans must he reviewed, approved and the permit
modified.
8. Certain significant general conditions remain and require that:
a. You must complete constriction before 31 December 2017.
b. You must allow representatives from this office to make periodic visits to your
worksite as deemed necessary to assure compliance with permit plans and
conditions.

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500 to Mr. Carl Baker, Deputy Public Works Officer for the US
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to permanently fill an additional 0.218 acres of jurisdictional wetlands
and temporarily impact an additional 0.139 acres. These additional impacts are to be cumulatively added to
the previously permitted impacts approved on March 18, 2008. In using the amounts provided by as-builts,
to calculate what has been impacted to the additional amounts requested in this modification the total
cumulative impacts are as follows :4.34 acres of permanent jurisdictional wetland impacts; 0.62 acres of
temporary jurisdictional wetland impacts; 1,447 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and 197 linear feet
of temporary stream impacts in the White Oak River Basin, associated with the construction of the Marine
Corps Special Command (MARSOC) Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune in Onslow County, North
Carolina, pursuant to an application modification filed on the 25th day of Aurst of 2010 and by the.
original Public Notice by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued on the 17 day of November of 2006
(received by DWQ on November 21, 2006) and additional information received on September 21, 2010.
The application and supporting documentation provides adequate assurance that the proposed work will
not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the
State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301,
302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application, the
supporting documentation, and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design submitted in the application materials and as
described in the Public Notice and revised during the project phases to reduce impacts. If the project is
changed, prior to notification a new application for a new Certification is required. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions of this Certification. Any new owner must notify the Division and request
the Certification be issued in their name. Should wetland or stream fill be requested in the future,
additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described in I5A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7).
If any plan revisions from the approved site plan result in a change in stream or wetland impact or an
increase in impervious surfaces, the DWQ shall be notified in writing and a new application for 401
Certification may be required. For this approval to be valid, compliance with the conditions listed below
is required.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Impacts Approved
The following additional impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and
general conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts
are approved including incidental impacts:

Sediment and Erosion Control:
2. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices
in order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project,
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. The topography of the project site is unique to this area as it has more relief that is normally
encountered in the Coastal plain. Due to the size of this project and the amount of area that is opened
at any time, care and careful diligence of the erosion control measures that are installed must be
monitored in order to prevent any future issues. The measures should remain until the site is fully
stabilized, if there are any questions or concerns about any issues within the project complex, do not
hesitate to call the Wilmington Regional Office at 910.796.7215 to get someone from Water Quality
to provide you with assistance.
4. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the 404/401 Permit Application. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best
Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur. Any violations of this condition including turbidity and failed silt fences
MUST be reported to the Wilmington Regional Office immediately at 910.796.7215.
5. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that
the Division of Land Resources has released the project;

6. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG0I0000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land
Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an
NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued
to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this
permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance
with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping
and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may
be found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forrrrs Docurnents.him.
Continuing Compliance:
Mr. Carl Baker, Deputy Public Works Officer for the US Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune and
their authorized agents and/or contractors, shall conduct construction activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements
of State law and federal law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being
met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, the Division may
reevaluate and modify this Certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance
with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before
modifying the Certification, the Division shah notify Mr. Carl Baker, Deputy Public Works
Officer for the US Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune and their authorized agents and/or
contractors and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with I SA
NCAC 2H.0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with I SA NCAC
2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to Mr. Carl Baker, Deputy Public
Works Officer for the US Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune and their authorized agents and/or
contractors in writing, shall be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for
reference in any Permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also
become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project;
Mitigation:
8. Compensatory Mitigation
Mitigation for this project has been provided per the previous certification. As-builts for the project
revealed that non-riparian wetlands were over mitigated for (0.07 ac) and includes the requested
modifications. The Riparian wetlands were also over mitigated for, but the additional requested
impacts put it 0.05 ac over the original permitted amount. The over mitigation of the non-riparian
wetlands will be acceptable this one time only for the additional 0.05 ac riparian impacts requested.
The linear feet of stream mitigated for (intermittent and perennial) was originally permitted as 3040
If. The as-built revealed that these impacts were over mitigated for by 1,593 linear feet. The
USACE has required the applicant's agent to obligate 806 linear feet of over mitigated strewn to
offset the temporal loss of the additional stream impacts that occurred per the project's violation.
9. Restoration and Temporary Impact Monitoring
Monitoring for the areas affected by the sedimentation will be performed quarterly as described in
section 7.3 of the modification document. The monitoring for the temporary impacts proposed will
also be monitored as such.

10. North and South Mitigation Areas
Monitoring will continue to follow the approved monitoring plan.
Road Crossinas:
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the
elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20
percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including
temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-
equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the
above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to
adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions:
Other conditions:
12. Construction Plans
Any final construction plans for this project must include or reference the application and plans
approved by the DWQ under this authorization letter and certification.
13. Protective Fencing
The wetland boundary must be clearly identified on all jurisdictional wetlands present as depicted
on the jurisdictional determination map signed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The outside
wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these boundaries approved
under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or similar high
visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or
water prior to any land disturbing activities.
14. Sewer Systems
The project shall comply with 15A NCAC 2H .0219(i)(2)(G) and all other State, Federal and
local sewer system regulations.
15. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 40l Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached
certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Quality,
1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as
depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
