Subject: NWP 14 request, for the construction /relocation of Alliance Drive which is the
sole access point for Pelican Packing Inc. in Halifax County, NC. WBS # 59003
Dear Sirs:
Please find enclosed the Pre-Construction Notification for the above referenced project.
Reset Fine Foods Inc. is expanding its facility to their adjacent west lot which cuts off
Alliance Drive which serves as the only access point for Pelican Packing Inc. Therefore
Alliance drive will be relocated. There are unavoidable impacts to wetlands and an UT to
Quankey Creek associated with this project. Quankey Creek is located in the Roanoke
River Basin and is classified by the Division of Water Quality at this crossing as Class C
waters. Mitigation will be provided by NCEEP for the 0.17 acres of impact to wetlands.
Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly adhered
to during this project.
Federally Protected Species and Cultural Resources
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) currently list three federally protected species for
Halifax County (Table 1).

No Effect
Dwarf Wedgemussel Alasmidonta heterodon E N No Effect
Tar River Spinymussel Elliptio steinstansana E N No Effect
No element occurrences are listed on the NHP database within one mile of this erossline. During
an on-site visit, no pine trees suitable for RCW foraging or nesting are near, or adjacent to the
crossline. No mussel habitat present for the Tar River Spinymussel and the Dwarf wedge mussel.
The base flow of this channel is only a couple of inches and rates as an intermittent stream. This
project is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any of the federally protected species
listed in Halifax County. No sites eligible for listing on the National Register occur within the area
of potential effect. This project will not affect listed or eligible historic properties.
Minimization Information
Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection
of surface waters and wetlands, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to
waters of the US, and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division
Environmental Officer.
Regulatory Approvals

Dear Mr. Steffens:
Subject: EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter.
New Access Road for Reser, Inc., Halifax County; Roanoke River Basin (Cataloging Unit 03010107);
Northern Inner Coastal Plain (NICP) Eco-Region
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will provide the
compensatory riparian wetland mitigation for the unavoidable impact associated with the above referenced project.
Based on the information received from the NCDOT on January 25, 2010, the impacts are located in CU 03010107
of the Roanoke River Basin in the Northern Inner Coastal Plain (MCP) Eco-Region, and the anticipated mitigation
credits needed to offset the impacts are as follows:
Stream Wetlands Buffer (Sq.
Roanoke Ft.
03010107 Cold Cool Warm Riparian Non- Coastal Zone Zone
Riparian Marsh 1 2
Impacts (feettacres) 0 0 0 0.17 0 0 0 0
Mitigation Units

(Credits-up to 2:1) 0 0 0 0.34 0 0 0 0
Mitigation associated with this project will be provided in accordance with Section X of Amendment No. 2
to the Memorandum of Agreement between the N. C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the N. C.
Department of Transportation, and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers fully executed on March 8, 2007 (Tri-Party
MOA). EEP commits to implement sufficient compensatory riparian wetland mitigation in the appropriate
cataloging unit to offset the impacts associated with this project by the end of the MOA year in which this project is
permitted. If the above referenced impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer
be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from EEP.
