Dave, Thank you for providing detailed and thoughtful comments on our PCN submittal for the Seasons at Lake Norman site (SAW-2020-00255). In cooperation with the project engineers, we have worked to provide the updated materials regarding the site's previous history and updated mitigation proposal that you have requested. Please see attached and below detailed responses to your questions - thank you in advance for your patience with this atypical project history and for your consideration of these materials. Daniel Response to Comment `a': As we have been made aware through correspondence with USACE, a nationwide permit was previously issued for this site in May 2001 (SAW-2001-30276). The conditions of this 2001 permit required the proposed impacts to be mitigated for by the creation of an extended detention wetland. A rough sketch provided within the permit documentation noted that the size and shape of this feature would be subject to specific design requirements and NCDWQ approval. However, ultimately, this extended detention wetland was never designed or built. To determine the acreage of the extended detention wetland that would have met the conditions of the previous permit, the current project engineers have worked through the design requirements for what would have been built based on the guidance at that time. The project engineers have calculated that a 0.55 ac extended detention wetland would have been required based on design guidance, site conditions, drainage area, etc. Please refer to the attached design calculations worksheet and schematic provided by the project engineers for these details. As previously discussed with USACE, it is our understanding that the area of the wetland that was required by the previous permit but never constructed (0.55 ac; SAW-2001-30276) will be considered as an impact cumulatively with the wetland impacts required by the current project (0.05 ac; SAW-2020-00255). Hence, to compensate for the cumulative permanent wetland impacts on this site, the applicant is proposing payment to the NCDMS at a 2:1 ratio for 0.6 ac of wetland impacts. A conditional acceptance letter from the NC In -Lieu Fee program is attached. Response to Comment `b': The adjacent property (PID: 4637483781) known as "Doolie Tract" was delineated by WEPG in November 2013 and was reviewed again in November 2020 to reassess current conditions. To our knowledge, this site was previously developed without impacts to any 401/404 jurisdictional aquatic features. The original delineation maps and forms for this parcel are included here for reference, as well as an updated delineation map showing the current conditions of the combined Doolie Tract and Seasons at Lake Norman areas, as requested. On Fri, Jun 26, 2020 at 4:57 PM Shaeffer, David Leigh (Dave) CIV USARMY CESAW (USA) <David.L.Shaeffergusace.army. mil> wrote: Daniel, On February 7, 2020 we received the after -the -fact permit application you submitted on behalf of Southwood Realty to place fill material in 0.05 acre of wetlands in Mooresville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. A signed tolling agreement was completed on June 3, 2020. 1 have completed my initial review of the application and I have determined that it is incomplete. The following information is necessary to complete this application: a. According to our records, an after -the -fact Nationwide Permit 39 was issued on May 29, 2001 to place fill material in 0.2 acre of wetlands and 250 linear feet of stream to facilitate the construction of a stormwater treatment wetland associated with a recreational development. According to recent satellite imagery and a jurisdictional determination issued under file number SAW-2015-00929, I have determined that the site is not in compliance with the 2001 permit. Accordingly, this non-compliance must be resolved in one of the following ways: 1. Restore the proposed constructed wetland areas as shown in the 2001 permit. 2. Submit a plan to compensate for the impacts proposed by the current after -the -fact Nationwide Permit request in addition to the 1.29 acre of wetlands proposed under the 2001 permit. b. In accordance with 2017 Nationwide Permit general condition 32(b)(5), the PCN must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters, such as lakes and ponds, and perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams, on the project site. Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. It appears that the activity on the adjacent property (parcel number 4637483781) is the first phase of the proposed development since the property is owned by the applicant and is the same development type. Please modify the delineation report to include this additional area. Please provide the information requested above in ONE consolidated response within 30-days of the date of this correspondence. Please contact me via telephone or e-mail if you have questions. Sincerely, David L.

Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in - lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11. This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website. Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the impact amounts shown below. River Basin Impact Location 8-di it HUC Impact Type Impact Quantity Catawba 03050101 Riparian Wetland 0.6 Upon receipt of payment, DMS will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with the In -Lieu Fee Program instrument dated July 28, 2010. Thank you for your interest in the DMS in -lieu fee mitigation program.
