Hi Chad
Please see Linda Suydam's email below regarding Dollar General. It will take a few more weeks
to get all of the stormwater information together and to then see how it will affect wetland
impacts/restoration opportunities on site.
Can you please place the 401 WQC application on hold until we get this information together?
Thanks,
Kim

Kim,
Howard is waiting for the surveyor to complete his additional needs on site.
We signed the proposal on Monday and it states that the surveyor will start within 5 days. I
don't think we will get a completed survey until Dec 27th or 28th.
Howard needs the answers this survey will tell to finish his analysis on solutions to satisfy the
State SW permit.
Once we get those options, we need to compare with the wetlands solutions and choose what
will be most feasible.
I can't see this being decided until January.
I was under the impression that all parties including the USCOE understood this latest delay and
time was granted. Am I in error?

Hi Linda
Do you know what the status of the stormwater work at Dollar General is? I was speaking with
Chad Coburn with DWQ yesterday and he wanted to know if he should put the project officially
on hold.
Thanks,
Kim

Howard,
Are you going to be generating the various solutions for the SW and pricing so that we can costs
the Wetlands out according to each plan? Is this where we need to start?

Kim, Thanks for the info.
Ralph & Gavin, seems like we'll have to compare the total cost versus other solutions which do
not utilize the mitigation area.

Hi Howard
Using the proposed wetland restoration area as constructed wetlands in order to satisfy the
State's stormwater requirements appears permittable in the eyes of the ACOE (see email from
Jennifer Frye below), but will require an Individual Permit. This permitting process will be more
time consuming and costly than a NWP. Part of that cost would be the mitigation. Constructed
wetlands that are part of a stormwater permit are not under ACOE jurisdiction and will not count
as mitigation. Instead, the applicant would need to buy into a mitigation bank for all of the
proposed wetland impacts.
Hopefully we can discuss this in greater detail early next week during our meeting. But I can be
reached via email this afternoon (I'm working from
home) if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Kim

Linda & Gavin,
I just tried to call Kim & Christian... Kim is out for the afternoon and I left a message for
Christian. I also tried to call Christian the afternoon following our meeting... he called me back
yesterday & left a voice mail message. In that message, he indicated that it would probably be
a positive action to pursue the Constructed Wetlands to help satisfy State stormwater
management requirements.
I'll let you know more once I speak with Kim or Christian.

Hi Kim,
Are you available to discuss options for the wetlands and SW issues early next week? I think we
need to brainstorm between you and Howard Resnik to see how we can resolve these issues...

Linda,
Regarding your question about the Corps' position on the use of wetlands for constructed
stormwater wetlands.
As you know, this conversion to a stormwater treatment "facility" to satisfy Section 402,
removes the Corps jurisdiction under Section 404.
Accordingly,
this conversion would need Corps authorization in the form of a DA permit; however, our
regional conditions for the NWPs prohibit the use of wetlands for stormwater
management .... .except for NWP 18...but this NWP has a maximum impact of 0.10 acres.
That said, they could apply for an Individual Permit. While this can be a time-consuming
process (for us and the applicant), I could potentially see this as a viable project provided they
do not have any other practicable alternatives for meeting the State's requirements.
Please let me know if anyone has any questions
Jennifer

Thanks for the information. My involvement in this project is very limited. I believe Jennifer Frye
and Christy Wicker are working on the 404 permit for this project. I will forward your email to
them and I have copied them on this email.

Subject: Dollar General 211 Supply NC
Ronnie:
My name is Linda Lewis and I am with the Division of Water Quality's Stormwater unit in
Wilmington, NC. I had a meeting yesterday with Ralph Ronalter of Baseline Construction,
regarding the existing Dollar General Store that was built off NC 211 in Supply, Brunswick
County, without a State Stormwater permit.
It is my understanding that the Corps is requiring the impacted wetlands at this site to be
restored. The site's current stormwater management was designed to meet Brunswick County's
pre/post ordinance, which does not provide sufficient storage to satisfy the Division's
requirements for storage/treatment of the runoff from a 1.5" storm. They are looking into a
variety of options for after-the-fact stormwater treatment in order to secure the required state
stormwater permit. One of the options is a constructed wetlands. Would the Corps consider the
use of the restored wetlands as a constructed wetland under the stormwater permit, which
would allow them to be used as a stormwater BMP?
I believe that either Mr. Ronalter or his consultant, Howard Resnik, P.E. or Rodney Wright, will
be getting in touch with you or Jennifer to discuss this possibility. I volunteered to send this
upfront email so that you and Jennifer would know that the Division is aware of this proposal
and to assure you that the Division will not permit a constructed wetland in the restoration area
unless the ACOE agrees with the concept.
If you have any questions, please let me know. If you could forward this email to Jennifer Frye I
would be most appreciative.
Thanks.
Linda
