I will upload this information into Laserfiche once the networking issues have been fixed. Thanks!

The hand clearing described would also not be considered a discharge of fill.

That's right. The pink line with the squares represents the wood fence just inside the property line represented by the bold black hatched line. The wetlands are located inside the red "WET" dashed line. The brown hatched polygon is the proposed 15' access corridor. Sorry for not including the labeling or legend. 2 1,HW—LU I L—UU114; 11/01/2016) 15' ACCESS FOR TRACK MOUNTED PILE DRIVER (±7,800 LBS; ±5'-2” TRACK WIDTH; ±4.1 PSI GROUND PRESSURE) NO TREE REMOVAL (4" DIAMETER CR GREATER) ALLOWED IN WETLAND AREA: USE EXISTING BRUSHY VEGETATION FROM ACCESS PATH (CUT BY HAND) TO STABALIZE 15' PATH AS REQUIRED TO INSTALL FENCE POSTS USING TRACK MOUNTED PILE DRIVER.

I am the correct contact until we hire another Reg Specialist (if that happens). I want to make sure I understand the plans, the pink line is the fence correct? There is no label apparent but it appears to be the case. I just learned a long time ago not to assume anything.

The permitted wetland impact has been completed, but work on the project is continuing. Part of that work includes the installation of the "Proposed Wood Fence" along the southern property line as depicted on the impact maps approved in the permit application. The fence is being installed within the wetlands with wood posts inserted into the ground until refusal (no concrete footers or fill). Which we understand does not require a 404/401 approval. This work was initially intended to be completed by hand to avoid the need for equipment within the wetlands. However, the contractor has determined that a track mounted pile driver is needed. They intend to use small equipment with a track width of +/- 5'-2" wide. However, they believe that due to the swivel radius and simply to allow room for construction that they will need as much as a 15' access path through the wetlands along the property line. See attached plans. Again, no fill will occur. Also, no trees (4" dbh or greater) will be removed. Understory brush will need to be cut which will be done by hand and left in place to further help prevent any potential damage to the wetland soils. The fence construction is consistent with the original permitted plans and I do not believe that a permit is needed for this vegetation clearing work, but we wanted to make you aware of their plans. The City of Wilmington has not requested concurrence on this, so as of now we do not need a response, unless of course you disagree and believe that a permit is needed. Otherwise, please save a copy of this to your files or let me know if you would like for me to submit it through the online portal. I'm available if you have any questions.
