VIII.Mitigation
P. 07
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 pcrcnninl
streams.
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
litip://li2o.enr.state.-nr,.us/ncwetlaiids/stm
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 offshe), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreagellinear_feet) t
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.
Applicant would like to put deed restrictions on the remaining wetlands (185 acres)
n enr venting future impacts
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 NCWItP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants

VII I.Mitigation
P. 07
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.
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
h://h2o.enr.st?tte.tig,us/ncwetlands/stnm rid, de.htm1.
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)
cif 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.
Applicant would like to put deed restrictions on the remaining wetlands X1.85 acres)

Dear Ms. Moore:

WATER QUALITY SE
crio?

The purpose of this correspondence is for Mitchell & Associates, Inc., representing Mr. Tom Dugan, to submit
an application for a NWP #39 for the placement of fill within approximately .17 acres of jurisdictional wetlands
on my clients property. This property is located .7 miles east of HWY 17, .3 miles north of Sloop Point Rd., at
the end of Windward Oaks Ln, Lot #2, Middle Point subdivision, Pender County, North Carolina. We are
enclosing the permit application along with all relevant material for you approval.
The purpose of the proposed fill in wetlands is to facilitate the construction of proposed house. The existing
location of wetlands makes planning extremely difficult with respect to lot design that are consistent with
applicable county requirements. The .17 acre impact is the minimal our client needs to build his house due to
subdivision requirements and the location of the septic system. My client has chosen to limit his proposed fill to
.17 acres, the minimum needed for development.
In accordance with the existing permit conditions, my client is willing to place deed restrictions on the remaining
wetlands (1.50 acres) to prevent any further future impacts.
The applicant has considered other alternatives other than the placement of fill in wetlands to accomplish his
project goals, however, the proposed plan is the only practical alternative available. Other alternatives considered
were not practical, significantly more expensive, or involved either greater wetland impacts. The project has been
designed to avoid and minimize potential adverse effects to neighboring wetlands, and all work conducted will be
done so in strict conformance to all conditions pursuant to NWP #39 requirements, as well as all other federal,
state and local requirements.
By copy of this correspondence, and completed pre-discharge notification, I am requesting you concurrence with
this permit request. Please contact me at you convenience should you have any questions. Thank you for your
time and prompt attention.
Sincerely,
nnifer Burbank
