Plan.pdf External email. Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to report.spam@nc.gov Good Morning Andrew, I hope this email finds you well. 1. 1 have provided a mark-up of original site plan drafted for "Times Fiber Communication" and included hatching and table to identify planned work and estimated area under PCN. Page 1 is full drawing and Page 2 is exploded view of the impact areas. Unfortunately the map lacks intended print size to scaling of 1" = 2000' . With that said assumption on scaling would only apply if printed on D or E sized sheet. If needed I can provide the *.DWG CAD file. 2. The proposed soil re -distribution (only as needed) is shown on second attachment 3. Per our discussion, Americhem purchased the site in 2010 and there is no knowledge of any backfilling or pond on original "annex' site. The provided site plan drawing dated 2-16-01 also does not show pond and is an accurate drawing of current drainage which was likely allowed to deteriorate between construction and the purchase by Americhem. The result of lack of maintenance may have led to the area becoming wetland qualifying when surveyed on 1/20/11. I hope this information meets the notification requirements, but if not please let me know.

During our conversation, we specifically discussed the information you provided below, on December 9, 2019. The application is still incomplete and we will need additional information. Please provide: 1. A plan view map showing the specific wetland area you propose to impact. Impact area should be shown with some form a cross hatching pattern. We need to have the exact area you plan to impact (approximately 0.98 acre or 610' x 7') clearly marked on a plan view map. You may be able to contact the consultants who originally delineated the wetlands and ask if they can provide the digital files for this wetland. 2. Mark the location where the relocated soils will be deposited on the wetland map (attached). 3. Regarding the pond that appeared to be previously located adjacent to wetland EE: During our telephone conversation today, you provided a detailed history of the site. Please provide that in your response to this email. Please provide the requested information within 30 days, or your application will be withdrawn. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thanks.

You were notified on November 24, 2019 that the Corps file number was SAW-2019-02249. However, due to our previous involvement with the project, it was assigned the Corps file number SAW-2019-01996 in October 2019. In order for us to continue evaluating the proposed project, please provide the following information: 1. A plan view map showing the specific wetland area you propose to impact. Impact area should be shown with some form a cross hatching pattern. I have attached the wetland map which areas are shaded. We have water backing up causing ponding on driveway in all areas marked EE. I have also included a screen shot of satellite view with areas shown with blue trace. This has all been submitted in prior correspondence so if not satisfactory will need further clarification on requirement. 2. Condition #23 (a) of Nationwide Permit #39 states, 'The activity must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site'. As such, please indicate why all 0.18 acres of Wetland EE must be impacted in order to meet the purpose of the project (direct water under existing driveway). The full area will not be, and submission was drafted on worst case impact. Total linear footage is roughly 610 and disturbed soil can be kept to <= 7' width. 2. The exact area at 7279 Liberty Park Avenue, Liberty, NC where the relocated soil will be deposited. There are several areas at our adjacent vacant site [7280 Liberty Park Ave] where dirt can be used as fill. I have place red marks to indicate general areas. r- r� 4iyyaJ`� f 3. Based on your plans, rip rap will be placed within 0.18 acre of wetlands. Condition #23(c) of Nationwide Permit #39 states, "Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one -for -one ratio will be required for all wetland losses that exceed 1/10 acre and require pre -construction notification. As such, please submit a compensatory mitigation plan for the loss of 0.18 acre of wetlands. Typically, for forested wetlands, the Corps requires compensatory mitigation at a 2 for 1 ratio, unless the applicant provides a completed North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) for the wetland proposed for impacts, indicating the wetland has overall low function. I feel we can back the estimate down to 1/10 acre based on the above comment. We are only interested in clearing enough area to promote flow in existing man-made drainage system, and should have no problem keeping disturbed width <=7' and 610 linear ft. 33 CFR part 332.3(b) Type and location of compensatory mitigation states, "When considering options for successfully providing the required compensatory mitigation, the district engineer shall consider the type and location options in the order presented in paragraphs (b)(2) through (b)(6). This order is as follows: 1. Mitigation bank credits 2. In -lieu fee program credits 3. Perm ittee-responsible mitigation under a watershed approach 4. Permittee-responsible mitigation through on -site and in -kind mitigation 5. Permittee-responsible mitigation through off -site and/or out -of -kind mitigation 4. The 2017 Wilmington District Regional Condition 4.11 states, discharges in perennial streams, intermittent streams and wetlands for stormwater management facilities are prohibited under Nationwide permit #39. Please verify whether or not the impacted wetlands will be utilized as a stormwater management facility. This will not serve as storm water management facility. There is no intent on redirecting or adding discharge points. Scope is only to restore flow as it was originally designed based on visual appearance with existing culverts placed by previous owners. 5. Based on a review of aerial photographs, it appears a pond was previously located adjacent to wetland EE. Aerial photographs indicate the pond was either drained or filled sometime between 1999 and 2005. Please provide information regarding specific impacts that occurred to the pond during that time in order to help us establish if there were any previous impacts to waters of the United States at this site. This site was purchased in 2010, so I unfortunately have no history nor knowledge of impact of the pond backfill work you referenced Please provide the requested information within 30 days, or your application will be withdrawn. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thanks.
