Andy,

Sorry for all of the back in forth. One of the things that is confusing to me is that I measured the potential for bank
erosion to be approximately 60 feet in the field (see photo with red line indicating area that was measured in the
field). This length of the culvert would provide plenty of access for equipment, eliminate potential bank erosion, and
allow access to the playground. Why can you not minimize the impact to 60 feet plus the 20 feet downstream for a total
of 80 feet? Please discuss this option with the church. I would be happy to discuss this on the phone as well.

1. Mr. Mitchell,the 100' culvert will include access for the work to be done on church bldg. We feel
that if we are going to disturb branch & have to pump around that we should go ahead with
putting culvert along bank between church & playground to remedy the problem with erosion &
the enhancement of area. We feel that this is a reasonable request.

Mr. Mull,

Hope you are well. On July 26, 2017, the Division of Water Resources received additional
information from you regarding the proposed culvert at Middle Fork Baptist Church. Project impacts
were reduced to 120 feet of impact. According
to your response, the grading contractor will require a 100 foot culvert in order to gain access to the
back of the church. It is unclear why an excavator would require a 100 foot crossing to access the
back of the facility. Please revise the plans to minimize
these impacts or provide a detailed explanation of why the activity cannot be accomplished, reduced
or reconfigured to avoid impacts to the trout stream.

Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502 (c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested
information for the proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not
received within 30 calendar days, of
receipt of this email, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned. The
return of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete
application package and the appropriate fee.

You may provide your response via email or mail to the address noted below. Feel free to call me if
you have any questions or need clarification.
