B. Proposed Activity
1. Project Description
1a. Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose:
The proposed activitv is an after - the -fact request for a +/- 342.8 sf addition (sunroom) and a +/- 415.22 sf deck /steps
attached onto an existing home located on the oroperty. The addition was constructed partially over a pre - existing
concrete slab /pad ( +/- 71 sf). The deck was constructed over +/- 96 sf of previously existing structure. The remaining
portion of the addition and deck were constructed over existing vard area. (Note: The areas listed above are from the
proiect survevor as per the attached survey, and differ some from the DWR- NOV(s), with the exception of the area of pre-
existing structure under the deck which was taken from the NOV). No trees were removed as part of this proiect. The
disturbed area was heavilv used existing lawn area located along a bulk- headed and riprap lined shoreline of the Pamlico
River.
The purpose of the addition was to provide additional indoor and outdoor living space overlooking the Pamlico River to
make better use of the existing home as part of a home renovation proiect.
The work on the addition and deck began in the Fall /Winter of 2013 and progressed until such time that the owner was
informed of the 50 -foot Tar - Pamlico Buffers by DWR as outlined in the attached January 15, 2014 Notice of Deficiencv
(NOD- 2014 -PC- 0022). The owner met with DWR in March 2014 as outlined in the attached May 15, 2014 NOD- 201 -PC-
0022. S &EC was contacted in June 2014 to assist the owner with this matter. S &EC contacted Mrs. Jennifer Burdette of the
DWR central office and all agreed that a survev was needed to properly identifv the extent of the impacts. The original
survevor of the property was unable to assist and obtaining a new survevor took longer than anticipated. S &EC met with
Mrs. Burdette on August 26`h to discuss the owners' options with only a draft survev in hand. The proiect was determined
not eligible for the use of SL 2012 -200 given that the infrastructure work that had occurred was within 30 feet of the
normal water level (NWL). Changes were reauired from the survev to properly locate the NWL and identifv the impacts.
The proiect survev has only recently been finalized. See attached.
1b. Attach a site plan showing the following items as applicable to the project:
0 Development /Project name
0 Revision number & date
0 North arrow
0 Scale (1" = 50' is preferred)
0 Property /project boundary with dimensions
0 Adjacent streets and roads labeled with names and /or NC State Road numbers

If yes, attach an acceptance letter from the mitigation bank you propose to use or the NC Ecosystem Enhancement
Program stating they have the mitigation credits available for the mitigation requested.
FORM: VAR 10 -2013 Page 4 of 6

D. Stormwater
1. Provide a description of how diffuse flow will be maintained through the protected riparian buffers (e.g., re- planting vegetation
or enhancement of existing vegetation, gutter splash pads, level spreader to control of runoff from impervious surfaces, etc.).
The deck is pervious and as such anv water will infiltrate into the soil below the deck. The runoff from the roof addition will fall
partially onto the deck which in turn will infiltrate into the soil, and partially on to the existing concrete slab and lawn and then
infiltrate directiv into the soil. The soils are mapped as Tarboro sand, "TaB ". on the Beaufort Countv soil survev. No discharges
through the buffer to the river will occur. Per the soil survev and WebSoilSurvev. Tarboro sand drainage class is somewhat
excessivelv drained, has a depth of more than 80 inches to a restrictive feature, runoff class is very low, and the capacity to
transmit water (Ksat) is hiah to very hiah (5.95 to 19.98 in /hr). As such, we are anticipating anv runoff from the addition will
infiltrate directly into the soil and not runoff to the river.
1a. Show the location of diffuse flow measure(s) on your site plan.
1b. Attach a completed Level Spreader Supplement Form or BMP Supplement Form with all required items for each proposed
measure. n/a
1c. Attach an Operation and Maintenance (O &M) Form for each proposed level spreader or BMP. n/a
2. For Major, Catawba, and Goose Creek variance requests, provide a description of all best management practices (BMPs) that
will be used to minimize disturbance and control the discharge of nutrients and sediments from stormwater.
2a. Show the location of BMPs on your site plan.
2b. Attach a Supplement Form for each structural BMP proposed.
2c. Attach an Operation and Maintenance (O &M) Form for each structural BMP proposed.
E. Demonstration of Need for a Variance
The variance provision of the riparian buffer rules allows the Division or the Environmental Management Commission to grant a
variance when there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships that prevent compliance with the strict letter of riparian
buffer protection.
1. Explain how complying with the provisions of the applicable rule would prevent you from securing a reasonable return from or
make reasonable use of your property. Merely proving that the variance would permit a greater profit from the property shall
not be considered adequate justification for a variance. The Division will consider whether the variance is the minimum
possible deviation from the terms of the applicable Buffer Rule that shall make reasonable use of the property possible.
This is an existing lot with an existing home. When the owner purchased the home and orooerty thev were not aware of the
Tar - Pamlico Buffer rule. The addition was constructed Partially over existing impervious and structural areas and was deemed
necessary for the owner to eniov river front views from both inside and outside of the home. Constructing these additions to
the rear (north) or west side of the home would not provide the desired views. Constructing them on the east side does not
work with the existing lavout of the home and would still reauire buffer impacts, and impacts in areas without existing
impervious or strucutures. Also, constructing the addition on the east or west sides is not possible given the existing and repair
septic systems. Building a second floor was not practicably given the lavout of the home, cost prohibitive within the owner's
budget, and would not be accessible to the owner's elderlv parents who live with them.
FORM: VAR 10 -2013 Page 5 of 6

2. Explain how the hardship results from application of the Buffer Rule to the property rather from other factors such as deed
restrictions or other hardships (e.g. zoning setbacks, floodplains, etc).
The home is existing, and the. cost to relocate the home closer to Old Pamlico Beach Read was not Dracticable.
3. Explain how the hardship results from physical nature of the property, such as its size, shape, or topography, which is different
from that of neighboring property.
The home is existing and anv additions to the home nn the south and east sides would be within the buffers. Existing and repair
area septic systems orevent construrtion of the addition to the Pastes f west sides idescritied above
4. Explain whether the hardship was caused by the applicant knowingly or unknowingly violating the applicable Buffer Rule.
The hardship would have existed prior to the applicant violatinv tpldq The owner would not have-been able to construct the
addition without this variance.
S. For Neuse, Tar - Pamlico, Jordan lake and Goose Creek only: Did the applicant purchase the property after the effective date of
the applicable Buffer Rule and then request a variance?
Yes. The aoplicant purchased the orooertv on Sentember 27.2013. However this dnes not chanee the hardshio as to the need
for the addition or deck. as the lot and home both ore - existed orior to the effective date of the buffer rule and as such a similar
variance would have been required if the orevious owner for this Droiect.
6. Explain how the hardship is rare or unique to the applicant's property, rather than the result of conditions that are widespread.
The ore - existing conditions within the location of the addition included imoervious areas. structures and heavilv trafficked lawn
area. The activity did not reouire the removal of anv trees or woodv vegetation or imoacts to anv high functioning buffers.
These conditions do not exist on every oroperty.
F. Deed Restrictions
By your signature in Section G of this application, you certify that all structural stormwater BMPs required by this variance shall
be located in recorded drainage easements, that the easements will run with the land, that the easements cannot be changed
or deleted without concurrence from the State, and that the easements will be recorded prior to the sale of any lot.
G. Applicant's Certification
I, Mijic'tb ed i Aom (�a v- (print or type name of person listed in Section A, Item 2), certify that
the information included on this permit application form is correct, that the project will be constructed in conformance with the
approved plans and that the ee3? trictions in accordance with Section F of this form will be recorded with all required permit

Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Violation
Beaufort County
Dear Mr. Darar:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On January 7, 2014, Anthony Scarbraugh of the Division of Water Resource (MVR) met with you to inspect'
your property located adjacent to SR 1730 (Old Pamlico Beach Road East) near the town of Belhaven,
Beaufort County. During the site visit, DWR staff observed impacts to the riparian buffer adjacent to the
Pamlico River. Impacts consisted of the placement of impervious surfaces in the riparian buffer, which
consists of the construction of a new 24' X 16' room and 22' X 16' wood deck at an elevation of 3 above
ground level, which is prohibited within the buffer rules.. Please note, approximately 64 square feet of
previously existing impervious was located underneath the footprint of the new room, and approximately
96 square feet of previously existing structure was located under the new deck. On January 15, 2014, DWR
issued a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) for the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Buffer violation with a response
deadline of 30 days upon receipt of the NOD and a restoration deadline of April 12014.
On March 31, 2014, Anthony Scarbraugh of DWR and you met in the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources Washington Regional office to discuss the subject violation. During the
discussion, you had stated that a family matter had delayed your response however you would request an
extension via email within a week. In addition, DWR staff discussed the two options to comply with the
violation either to apply for a Major Variance from the Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules or remove the
portion of the onsite structures that are out of compliance. In addition, DWR staff required that following
structure removal, the previously existing grass lawn be reestablished.
It is the expectation of this Office that a Major Variance; From the Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules
application be submitted to the DWR Raleigh Central Office or the unauthorized structures are removed
within 30 days of the receipt of this letter. If you wish.for the impacts to remain in place, you must
contact Jennifer Burdette of DWR 401 & Buffer Permitting Section at (919) 807 -6364 for information on
how to request a Major Variance; From the Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules. If you elect to remove the
unauthorized structures, please submit pictorial documentation to this Office.

Dear Mr. Darar:
On January 7, 2014, Anthony Scarbraugh of the Division of Water Resource -Water Quality Regional
Operation Sections (DWR- WQROS) met with you to inspect your property located adjacent to SR 1730
(Old Pamlico Beach Road East) near the town of Belhaven, Beaufort County. Prior to the inspection, Mr.
Steve Trowell of the Division of Costal Management, Mr. Scarbraugh and you met at the Washington
Regional Office to discuss unauthorized expansion of a structure within the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian
Buffer. The property is bordered by Pamlico River, which is located in the Tar - Pamlico River Basin and is
therefore subject to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules.
During the site visit, DWR- WQROS staff observed impacts to the riparian buffer adjacent to the Pamlico
River. Impacts consisted of the placement of impervious surfaces in the riparian buffer, which consists
of the construction of a new 24' X 16' room and 22' X 16' wood deck at an elevation of 3 above ground
level, which is prohibited within the buffer rules. Please note, approximately 64 square feet of
previously existing impervious was located underneath the footprint of the new room, and
approximately 96 square feet of previously existing structure was located under the new deck.
As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations, detailed below, are noted:
• Tar - Pamlico River Buffer Rule Violation
1) Tar - Pamlico River Buffer Rule Violation (15A NCAC 2B .0259)

Re: Darar Property Major Variance — DWR # 15 -0187
Belhaven, Beaufort County, NC
On behalf of the owners, Mohamed Ali and Reem Darar, we provide the following
additional information in response to and as requested within your March 13, 2015 letter
(attached). Please contact me at (919) 846 -5900 if you have any questions or require
additional information.
1. Your application indicates that the property owners were not aware of the Tar -
Pamlico Buffer Rule when they purchased the home and began remodeling, but
contends that constructing the addition and deck outside the riparian buffer
would not be possible on the west side of the home due to reservation of an area
for future septic system repair and would not provide river, front views from both
inside and outside of the home if the addition and deck were adding to the north
side of the home. A review of aerial photographs of the home prior to the recent
modification shows that the main structure of the home was remodeled as well as
the addition of a room and deck on the south side. Prior to the recent
modifications, the home included a concrete patio and screened porch on the
south side overlooking the river. Because the existing home provided river front
views from both inside and outside of the home, this office believes that the home
could have been remodeled and expanded without impacting the riparian buffer if
the proper permits were obtained prior to beginning construction on the project.
Please provide a map of the interior layout of the home prior to the recent
modifications, a map of the current layout of the home and an explanation of why
the home could not have been remodeled and expanded while maintaining the
home's existing footprint within the riparian buffer.
Page 1 of 4

Requested pre and post construction home layouts and aerials photos are
provided. The photos are from 2011 and the survey was from the recorded plat
map dated 1997. The Darars purchased the property in 2013. The main home
modifications were done by the previous owners prior to the Darars purchasing it;
most likely sometime between 2011 (date of aerial photo) and Fall of 2013 (when
the Darars purchased the home).
The Darars have stated to us that:
"There seems to be a lot of confusion on what exactly was done to the house when
we bought it. I believe the photographs that they are looking at are too old. It is
mentioned that there was a screened porch enclosed and a bedroom added. That
was all done prior to our purchase.
The house was a 3 bedroom when we bought it and it still a 3 bedroom now. We
did not go out of the original footprint on either side of the house. On either side
of the house we were confined to keep the original footprint due to the existing
septic tank on one side and the proposed new location for the septic tank on the
other side.
There was no screened porch. I'm assuming the previous owner had already
enclosed it to be the now sitting room. The bath was already there. It was a
laundry room bathroom. The carport had been enclosed as an expansion to the
existing bedroom but hadn't been finished. We finished it when we bought the
house. Also there are 2 bathrooms on the other side. One as master and one
guest, also existing. We never left the footprint of the house except with the
sunroom.
This is what was done to the house (since we purchased it): new windows
installed on either side of the house, siding taken off and rotten wood removed
and replaced on one side of the house (west side, between us and the neighbors),
new deck installed on the front where there was evidence of an existing deck
before, enclose portion of the new deck into a sunroom. "
The layout of the home at the time they purchased it allowed limited views out the
south and partial east sides of the home from the family room and sitting room
(pre- existing screened porch). There were only the remnants of a pre- existing
deck outside. The additions the Darars added provide west, south and eastern
views from the new sunroom and south and eastern views from the deck.
2. Please indicate whether the property includes a private well or is connected to a
municipal mater supply.
Per the 2013 septic pen-nit provided in the application, the property utilizes a
"public" (county) water supply (no private well).
Page 2 of 4

In our pre- application meeting with your environmental consultant, Bob Zarzecki
of Soil and Environmental Consultants, Inc., Division staff indicated that a BMP
to treat stormwater runoff would not be required if the infiltration rate of the soil
is sufficient to prevent stormwater runoff from discharging directly to the river.
Your application states that the property is mapped as Tarboro sand on the
Beaufort County Soil Survey. Due to the large scale of soil survey mapping, an
on -site evaluation must be completed to determine if the soil is mapped correctly.
Please provide a description of the on -site soil by a licensed soil scientist. If the
description of the soils on -site indicates that the soil is not anticipated to infiltrate
stormwater runoff, a BMP to treat stormwater runoff from an area of the existing
home equivalent to the amount of riparian buffer impacted by the addition and
deck will be required.
Mr. Don Wells (N.C. Licensed Soil Scientist No. 1099) of S &EC, PA evaluated
the soils on all four sides of the existing home. His report is attached. It appears
that the infiltration rates of the soil are sufficient to prevent stormwater runoff
from discharging directly to the river. The main portion of the home has been as
it is today for many years, and there was only a small addition of impervious
surface added for the sunroom, which was completed a year ago or more now.
There is no evidence of rills or erosion suggesting that a direct discharge of
stormwater runoff to the river.
4. Past major variances approved by the Environmental Management Commission,
in which application for the riparian buffer impact is made after-the-
,fact, have
included a proposal to improve to water quality. Please explain how approval of
the project would provide an improvement to water quality such as proposing to
relocate the existing septic system that is currently within the buffer to the repair
area or providing wastewater pretreatment to improve the performance of the
existing septic system within the buffer.
The current system was not found to be failing. Relocating the septic system to
the repair area at this time would not leave a future repair area available if the
current system was found to be failing in the future, with exception of an
expensive, high maintenance pre- treatment system or pump and haul system. The
owners would like to maintain the existing system and repair area as they are, due
to prohibitive costs associated with a pre- treatment system and to maintain an
onsite repair area.
If the house is ever damaged by a storm and needs to be rebuilt, the county will
require the existing septic system to be abandoned and the new system within the
repair area to be installed.
The buffer impacted by the new sunroom and deck provided very limited
functions to water quality. The area was only partially covered in grass with no
woody vegetation. It was already impacted by an existing concrete slab and deck
and stairs. Also, in reviewing historical aerial photos, there is clear evidence that
Page 3 of 4

the area was heavily used for storage. The buffer mitigation payment proposed by
the applicant should go far greater to improving water quality within the basin
than the protection of this previously impacted buffer.
5. Your application proposes payment to NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(EEP) for purchasing buffer mitigation credits. NCEEP issued a conditional
acceptance letter stating that EEP will only accept payment if the mitigation is
allowed to occur within the 8 -digit HUC or two 8 -digit HUCs that are adjacent to
the 8 -digit HUC in which the project is located. The consolidated buffer
mitigation rule (15A NCAC 02B.0295) requires a 2:1 ratio be applied to the area
of mitigation required when the mitigation site is located in an adjacent 8 -digit
HUC relative to that of the proposed impact site. Please provide an acceptance
letter that would apply the correct location locational mitigation ratio if the
mitigation is not located within the 8 -digit HUC in which the project is located.
Requested acceptance letter is attached.
It's our hopes that the responses above and attachments provide sufficient information for
you to complete your review of this variance request. If not, please don't hesitate to
contact us.

dated February 18, 2016 [sic], requesting a Major Variance of the Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer
Rule from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your
application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the
following information is received:
Your application indicates that the property owners were not aware of the Tar - Pamlico
Buffer Rule when they purchased the home and began remodeling, but contends that
constructing the addition and deck outside the riparian buffer would not be possible on
the west side of the home due to reservation of an area for future septic system repair
and would not provide river front views from both inside and outside of the home if the
addition and deck were adding to the north side of the home. A review of aerial
photographs of the home prior to the recent modification shows that the main structure
of the home was remodeled as well as the addition of a room and deck on the south
side. Prior to the recent modifications, the home included a concrete patio and
screened porch on the south side overlooking the river. Because the existing home
provided river front views from both inside and outside of the home, this office believes
that the home could have been remodeled and expanded without impacting the
riparian buffer if the proper permits were obtained prior to beginning construction on
the project. Please provide a map of the interior layout of the home prior to the recent
modifications, a map of the current layout of the home and an explanation of why the
home could not have been remodeled and expanded while maintaining the home's
existing footprint within the riparian buffer.

2. Please indicate whether the property includes a private well or is connected to a
municipal water supply.
3. In our pre - application meeting with your environmental consultant, Bob Zarzecki of Soil
and Environmental Consultants, Inc., Division staff indicated that a BMP to treat
stormwater runoff would not be required if the infiltration rate of the soil is sufficient to
prevent stormwater runoff from discharging directly to the river. Your application
states that the property is mapped as Tarboro sand on the Beaufort County Soil Survey.
Due to the large scale of soil survey mapping, an on -site evaluation must be completed
to determine if the soil is mapped correctly. Please provide a description of the on -site
soil by a licensed soil scientist. If the description of the soils on -site indicates that the
soil is not anticipated to infiltrate stormwater runoff, a BMP to treat stormwater runoff
from an area of the existing home equivalent to the amount of riparian buffer impacted
by the addition and deck will be required.
4. Past major variances approved by the Environmental Management Commission, in
which application for the riparian buffer impact is made after - the -fact, have included a
proposal to improve to water quality. Please explain how approval of the project would
provide an improvement to water quality such as proposing to relocate the existing
septic system that is currently within the buffer to the repair area or providing
wastewater pretreatment to improve the performance of the existing septic system
within the buffer.
5. Your application proposes payment to NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for
purchasing buffer mitigation credits. NCEEP issued a conditional acceptance letter
stating that EEP will only accept payment if the mitigation is allowed to occur within the
8 -digit HUC or two 8 -digit HUCs that are adjacent to the 8 -digit HUC in which the project
is located. The consolidated buffer mitigation rule (15A NCAC 0213.0295) requires a 2:1
ratio be applied to the area of mitigation required when the mitigation site is located in
an adjacent 8 -digit HUC relative to that of the proposed impact site. Please provide an
acceptance letter that would apply the correct locational mitigation ratio if the
mitigation is not located within the 8 -digit HUC in which the project is located.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B.0259, 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 in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, 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.

S &EC Project #12409.S1
Re: Soil Series Evaluation on 734 Old Pamlico Beach Road, Belhaven, NC.
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Darar:
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S &EC) has performed a limited soil series evaluation on the
above referenced property. This was performed at your request as part of the preliminary planning
process in order to determine if the soil series that is shown on the Beaufort County Soil Survey is
mapped correctly for this property. The fieldwork was performed on April 27, 2015.
Soil/Site Evaluation Methodoloev
The site evaluation was performed by advancing hand auger borings to a depth of 4 to 6 feet around
the existing house (see attached Figure 1 map provided by client). The soil boring locations were
based on; site access, identifying possible buried utilities (water sewer, electricity) and to provide
coverage on the lot for the soil evaluation process. The soil morphological conditions were described
at these locations using standard techniques outlined in the "Field Book for Describing and Sampling
Soils" published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS, 2002). A detailed soil profile
description from each boring location is included in Attachment 1 to this report.
Soil/Site Conditions
This site is located in the Coastal Plain geological area consisting of alluvial and marine sediments.
The property is located adjacent to the Pamlico River therefore stream terrace influence is noted and
expected for the soil development. According the Beaufort County Soil Survey, this area is mapped as
a Tarboro soil series. The Tarboro soil series is a very deep somewhat excessively drained soil due to
being mostly loamy sand and sand to a depth of 60 + inches. The field investigation revealed that the
soils at this site are not classified as a Tarboro soil series.
The soils located on this lot have been slightly disturbed with areas of fill material placed over the
underlying natural soil. The surface soil does have a fine sandy loam to loamy sand soil texture and it
ranges from 6 to 18 inches deep. These types of soil textures do offer some initial soil infiltration of
precipitation. Again, it appears this surface soil material is fill and based on the characteristics, it may
have been on the lot for a long period of time as some degraded shell fragments were observed in two
of the soil borings. In most areas on the lot, the fine sandy loam surface soil is over the natural
occurring loamy sand soil. Within the lower soil profile, the soil texture range from a loamy sand to
sandy clay loam to a clay and the water percolation rate will vary according to these soil textures.

The soil on the west side (SB -I location) of the house has approximately 18 inches of fine sandy loam
fill over the natural soil. This natural soil has a loamy sand texture down to 28 inches and then it
changes to sandy loam texture, and then to a sandy clay at 42 inches below current land surface.
Below this sandy clay layer is a firm, plastic clay layer and it was noted at 48 inches below land
surface. The soils on the east side of the house appear to have been mostly disturbed which could be
associated with the on -site septic field. The surface soils on the east side (SB -2 location) have a loamy
sand texture and the lower soil profile is a mix of sandy loam and clay down to a depth of 36 inches.
At this depth, a fine sandy loam spodic (organic) layer was noted. The soils on the north side of the
house (SB -3 location) are similar to the soil on the west side. There is a fine sandy loam mixed fill
surface to a depth of 18 inches. From 18 to 32 inches, the soil has a loamy sand texture, From 32 to
36 inches, it changes to a sandy clay loam /sandy clay texture then changes to a firm, plastic clay at 36
inches below land surface. The soils on the south side (SB -4) have also been disturbed, most likely
associated with the bulk head that is constructed adjacent to the Pamlico River. The surface soil in this
location has a fine sandy loam texture to a depth of 6 inches. Then from 6 to 20 inches, there is a
mixture of clay and sandy clay loam soil with some layers of loamy sand noted. This mixed soil is
above a clay layer which extends to 48 + inches below land surface.
Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate:
Given that the soil type on this lot is variable, Table I (see attached) provides some the typical ranges
of soil infiltration rates as a function of texture and slope. Most of the surface soil textures
encountered on the site fall into the fine sandy loam classification. Additionally, the site is relatively
flat so the slopes of 0 to 3% would apply to this lot. Therefore typical instantaneous application rates
for initial rainfall infiltration could be 0.5 to 1.0 in hr's. The infiltration rates noted in Table I was
obtained from the Sprinkler Irrigation Association, Sprinkler Irrigation (1969). S &EC has not made
any on -site measurements for soil infiltration, the numbers referenced above are used only as a general
guide and with the fill observed on this lot, the in -situ rates could be different than what is shown in
the table. If requested or needed. S &EC can perform soil infiltration measurements on this lot.
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA is pleased to be of service in this matter and we look forward to
assisting in the successful completion of the project. Please feel free to call with any questions or
comments.

This is a revised acceptance letter, it replaces one issued dated February 20, 2015. The purpose of this letter is to notify you that
the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts
associated with the above referenced project as indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that
participation in the NCEEP will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility
of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved. You must also comnly with all
other state. federal or local eovernment permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activitv includina SL 2009-
337: An Act to Promote the Use of Compensatory Mitigation Banks as amended by S.L. 2011 -343.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the
issued 404 Permit /401 Certification /CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's
responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based
on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In-
Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.neeep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the NCEEP, the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation
are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation required and assigned to NCEEP for this impact is determined by
