Michael,
Thank you for your email. The Corps decision that the project will be reviewed as cumulative with the previously
approved impacts in the Stone Ridge development was based as indicated below. This decision is consistent with our
District's implementation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, as well as how projects from all applicants are
reviewed. We have received no additional information that would change our decision at this point. Please provide
additional information warranting further discussion on this topic.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

Good Afternoon David,

I hope you are doing well. The response below indicates that the Corps has made a determination that impacts are
considered cumulative for the proposed project. We would like to meet with you to further discuss the determination
as we believe that the project should be considered single and complete.
Sincerely,
Michael

Michael and Greg,
The Corps agrees to your request for an extension on our 12/4/2017 request for additional information, now extended
until 2/15/2018.
Greg, after discussing with my Field Office Chief and as a follow-up to your email of 12/21/2018, the Corps will view the
proposed stream and wetland impacts (Phase 6) as cumulative with earlier phases (Phase 1), per our 12/4/2017 request
for additional information.
Irrespective of the current developer, the permit applicant for both phases is the same. Also, access to Phase 6 is linked
to access constructed as part of earlier phases. Further, as indicated in section E.2c of the PCN, "this development is in
general compliance with a (stormwater) plan approved prior to implementation of Phase 2 NPDES and prior to
imposition of Jordan Lake Buffer Rules. Therefore it is our understanding that the stream buffer and stormwater
regulations in place at the time of original plan approval apply." Inclusion of phase 6 in the approved plan for the Stone
Ridge development link all phases as a single and complete project for Corps purposes.
As such, per item 1) of our 12/4/2017 request for additional information, the cumulative stream impacts (permitted +
proposed = 231 linear feet) exceed the compensatory mitigation threshold typified in Nationwide Permit General
Condition 23c, and compensatory mitigation will be required for the proposed stream impacts involving permanent loss
of waters (i.e. 90 Lf). Compensatory mitigation is typically required at a 2:1 mitigation to impact ratio. Please update the
PCN Section D.2-4 accordingly and provide an acceptance letter from either a private mitigation bank with the correct
service area or the NC Division of Mitigation Services.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey
