Ladies and Gentlemen: 
I urge you to make permanent the temporary rules for which you held a public hearing November 4. 

Where I live, in the Piedmont region, many wetlands are under 0.1 acre due to the geography and incised
streams. As development pressure increases, these small wetlands will not be protected. Wetlands are
subject to a “death of 1000 cuts,” and their essential ecosystem services of flood control, nutrient and
turbidity uptake, and critical habitat will be lost if they are not protected.  

I am personally aware of several wetlands where development is rapidly taking place in Alamance,
Guilford, and surrounding counties. They are sitting targets if the rules you are considering are not
implemented and enforced. Please. 

Thank you
