Dear Mr. Turner:
On September 21, 2009, you applied for Department of the Army (DA) authorization to
discharge approximately 0.02 acres of fill material into Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands to
facilitate the development of a single family residential dwelling within an existing subdivision
known as Treybrooke. The 0.46 acre project area is located at 216 Sand Hills Drive East, on the
west side of Masonboro Loop Road, in wetlands adjacent to the Hewlett's Creek, Wilmington,
New Hanover County, North Carolina. The file number assigned to your application is Action
ID SAW-2009-01004. Please refer to this number in all future correspondence.
The attached letters have been received from state and federal agencies, private citizens and
private organizations:
On November 24, 2009, this office received a letter from the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Coastal Management (DCM)
stating that your proposed project "requires consistency review from DCM before the project
may be implemented".
The NCDENR Division of Water Quality (DWQ), by letter dated November 25, 2009,
requested additional information to address a mitigation proposal for the 1.54 acres of total
cumulative impacts for the Treybrooke development. In addition to this, DWQ recommended
avoiding impacts by constructing a "slightly smaller house footprint or proposing to construct a
two-story house". Our Office received your response to the later comment in a letter dated
12/17/09.
On December 3, 2009, a letter was received from the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) offering no objections to the project.

Finally, in an email dated 12/21/09, Mr. Eason Bryan, Vice President of the Treybrooke
Homeowners Association, submitted a list of concerns also with regards to flooding and
drainage.
I am available to assist you in coordinating responses to these comments and can be reached
