The purpose of this correspondence is for Quible & Associates, P.C. to provide the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality, with a revised Nationwide #18 Permit application submitted by our firm on
behalf of the County of Dare. The subject property is located on Baumtown Rd. (S.R. 1135) in
Wanchese, Dare County, North Carolina.
As requested by your office I am sending a revised copy of the PNC application form. The approved
original application submitted to your office on May 15, 2003 indicated 0.01acre area of impacts to the
existing 404 wetlands. The amount of impacts in this correspondence should have read 0.10 acres.
As per a phone conversation on June 19, 2003 I am sending revised application that corrects the
typographical errors on the original application. Please make the necessary revisions to the permit for the
Dare County well site.
If there is any need for additional information, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me at [phone].

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 nronosed impact (wetland fill) was limited to a 0.10 acre. Site constraints include the well location
to be placed 100 ft. from any property line. The well house was located the minimum distance possible
from the property lines and still have access to the well for maintenance requirements.
Page 5 of 8
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.
USACE - 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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.
A conservation easement is proposed at a ratio of 6:1 (0.57 acre) within the existing wetlands (see attached
plat).
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 hqp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wr2/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify. N/A )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

The purpose of this correspondence is for Quible & Associates, P.C. to provide the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality, with a Nationwide #18 Permit application submitted by our firm on behalf of
the County of Dare. The subject property is located on Baumtown Rd. (S.R. 1135) in Wanchese, Dare
County, North Carolina.
Dare County is proposing to fill an area of 404 wetlands that is 4,230 sf in size for an access road and
building pad associated with a production well for the Skyco water treatment plant. The minimum
setback requirement for the proposed well point is 100 ft from the property lines which places the
production well at the center of the property. Every effort has been made to minimize impacts associated
with the project, however an access road for routine maintenance and construction, as well as the
installation of a well house that meets the minimum requirements of the NCDENR Public Water Supply
Section is necessary for the placement of the production well to be accomplished. The enclosed plat
accurately depicts the proposed location of the production well and access road. The attached
application package consists of the following:
1. 7 copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application
2. 7 copies of the 8 %s" x 11" reduction of Site Plan
3. 7 copies of the full size (8.5" x 14") Site Plan
4. Fee Check for $200.00 made payable to NCDENR
If there is any need for additional information, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Quible & Associates, P.C.

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 (wetland fillI was limited to a 0.01 acre. Site constraints include the well location
to be placed 100 ft. from any propegy line. The well house was located the minimum distance possible
from the property lines and still have access to the well for maintenance requirements.

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.
USACE - 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 hqp://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmaide.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.
A conservation easement is proposed at a ratio of 1:1 (0.10 acre) within Kinnakeet Shores existing wetlands
(see attached plat). The location of the proposed conservation easement is comparable to the proposed
wetlands on Lot 1734 proposed for fill.
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 hq://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wro/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
