Box 3266 Kitty Hawk, NC 27949 Re: DWQ ID Numbe 41163, tionwide Permit Application for John Anderson's wetland i activity in Currituck County Dear Ms. Dorman: The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management has reviewed your application, dated July 16, 2004, for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. Based upon our review, we have determined that the proposed wetland fill activity is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program subject to the following conditions: 1. The activity described in your application is for the issuance of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit, Number 18, under 33 CFR Part 330. Any modification of your proposed activity, or change in the Nationwide Permit Number that you are seeking, will require an additional review for consistency by this office. 2. Since the activity that you propose involves impacts to waters and/or wetlands, a 401 Water Quality Certification must be obtained from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. 3. It was noted that a part of the proposed development, the road and driveway, lie within the 75 feet Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern. This work would require a CAMA Minor Permit. It is not anticipated that this development would be found consistent with the rules applicable within the 30 feet buffer area, since roads and driveways are not considered water dependent, and are not otherwise specifically allowed within this buffer by the rules of the Coastal Resources Commission. 1367 U.S. 17 South, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909 Phone: 252-264-3901 \ FAX: 252-264-3723 \ Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer -- 30% Recycled by Fiber Weight Roxanne D.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The proposed impact was limited to a total of 0.10 acres. Wetland fill could not be avoided due to the fact that Section "404" wetlands comprise the maioritv of this lot and fill is necessary for septic setbacks and house construction. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. Page 5 of 8 USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at littp://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stringide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Mitigation proposed (10:1 for this project will be located onsite and will use a portion of the existing wetlands that remain. The conservation easement 0 acre.) will be recorded as "preservation" by the landowners title attorney. The permittee will be prohibited from performing any of the following activities within the recorded conservation easement: Filline grading; excavating; earth movement of any kind; construction of roads buildings signs or any activity that may alter the drainage patterns on the property or any other activity which would result in the wetlands being adversely impacted or destroyed. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at htt?)://1,2o.enr_state.nc.us/wru/indcx.litn,.

Lot I, Knott's Island, Currituck County, North Carolina. The initial site plan that was submitted has changed to reflect the concerns of the Currituck County Health Department as well as revisions of the site plan by the property owner. Currituck County Health Department requires that a repair area for the drainfeild of equal size be provided in the site plan and this area must also meet the setback requirements from the existing wetlands. One acre of mitigation for the proposed impacts is located onsite and will be recorded as a conservation easement with the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Once approved by your office and USACE, the mitigation area will be recorded by the landowners title attorney as a conservation easement (preservation). The limited amount of uplands, drain field repair area (required by Currituck County) and revisions to the site plan have made the remaining impacts to the wetlands unavoidable, therefore we request that the permit process move forward. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or need additional information 252- 261-7707. Sincerely, Doug Dorman Atlantic Environmental Consultants, LLC Encl.: a/s _ V S.
