Dear Mrs. Amschler:

"4NOSANB STGRi;ZER RR?CH
On behalf of our client, Mr. Denny Muyres of Waffle House, Inc., we are providing the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers a copy of the PCN Application for the referenced project. The site is located
west-southwest of the intersection of Old House Road and U.S. Highway 17 in Surf City,
Onssow County, North Carolina.
ECS completed a Wetland Delineation on July 18, 2011. Based on our assessment,
jurisdictional wetlands and a jurisdictional ditch were determined to exist on the subject site.
The jurisdictional ditch is 0.010 acre and located on the southern portion of the site.
Additionally, there is a small wetland finger (0.002 acre) extending on the northern portion of the
site. ECS received your verbal verification of the wetland delineation in September 2011. We
are submitting the revised JD form and Wetland Survey for written verification in conjunction
with the PCN application form.
The proposed development will impact approximately 0.010 acre of the jurisdictional ditch
located on the southern of the site (See Attachments). The remaining wetlands located on the
northern portion of the site are not planned to be impacted.
Please review enclosed documents and contact Paul Pascarosa at 910-686-9114, with any
questions. Thank you in advance for your time.
Respectfully submitted,
