The entire subdivision has been designed. Enclosed with this transmittal are stormwater control calculations for the entire site. The subdivision construction plan is in iwo phases corresponding to two parcels separated by a buffered stream. The first phase will be development of frontage along NCSR 1714 (Church Street Extension) this is the first parcel of land under development. The second phase of construction will involve the second parcel which is only accessible by crossing the buffered stream. This PCN is for the first phase of construction only and does not Concem the stream crossing and related permitting. Therefore, no USACE permit is associated with this phase. We are only proposing to introduce a stormwater outfall to the buffered stream at this time. Due to the existing topography, it is not possible to achieve diffuse flow through the buffer. The local government is requesting written approval of this non-diffuse discharge. Please review the calculations for Pond 1 at this time. Once your review staff is satisfied that the stormwater control plan is adequate, please send written confirmation to: Pitt County Planning ATTN: Mr. Jonas Hill 1717 West Fifth Street Greenville, NC 27834 A second PCN, for the stream crossing, will be submitted when the US Army Corps of Engineers has visited the site, made the jurisdictional determination and provided the corresponding permit number. This PCN will include the stream crossing as well as an additional stormwater outfall for phase two (Pond 2). The full calculations are being submitted with this PCN for phase 1, please retain these for future reference, if possible. If you have any questions, comments or concerns do not hesitate to contact me at (252) 756-1780 at the business address above or via a-mail at Jamie@malpassandassociates.com.

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 Page 9 of 13 were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The site's lot sizes as well as road and ri t of way widths are in accordance with local ordinances and provide a design that is cost effective and development that is financially viable to the owner The proposed impact is necessary for stormwater release from the site. Stormwater BMPs have been utilized and are desi ng ed by NCDENR standards. 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 January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minirnal. 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 NCEEP 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/sti•m~ide.html. 1.
