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.

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.

Expiration of Acceptance: 6/17/2021
County: Iredell
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. 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.

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. If you have any questions or need
additional information, please contact Kelly.Williams@ncdenr.gov.
