Hi Lauren. Yes, we only considered 114 linear feet as permanent loss with our 4/16/2018 NWP 12/14/18 verification.
And generally speaking we would not require compensatory mitigation if cumulative permanent loss of streams remains
less than 150 linear feet. That is, with the caveat that there are always project -specific variables such as aquatic
function, indirect/secondary impacts, etc. that may affect our District's decisions on compensatory mitigation
requirements.
Since compliance issues are resolved with respect to the road crossing stream impact of the NWP that I verified, any
additional proposed impacts would be evaluated/processed by Chris Hopper as the Corps' Alamance Co. project
manager.

Dave,

It looks like an additional pedestrian crossing impact may still be required. The details are still being worked out, but
since this NOV has been resolved they would still have up to an additional 36-ft of permanent stream impact if required
without triggering mitigation, correct?
Going off of the 114-ft of permanent stream impact in the previous permit.
Thanks!

Hi Lauren and Becky. In regards to our email dated 8/14/2019, documenting non-compliance with Nationwide Permits
(NWP) 12, 14, and 18 verified for use on 4/16/2018, 1 have determined the following:
Based on your most recent non-compliance resolution proposal sent via email on 10/26/2020, my site visit to review the
completed work on 11/17/2020, final planting pictures sent via email on 1/15/2021, and a confirmation email sent
1/20/2021, the Corps will take no further action in this matter. Note that you must continue to comply with all terms
and conditions and special conditions of the NWP 12, 14, and 18 verifications for all phases of the Huffman Point
residential development.
Please be cautioned that the Corps may consider any future unauthorized work of similar nature in waters of the U.S. a
willful and intentional violation of Federal law and may result in immediate referral of the matter to the U.S. Attorney or
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with recommendation for civil and/or criminal prosecution.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this matter. If you have any further questions please let me know.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

Yes, those were corrected by the contractor. He sent me pictures just before the holidays and then I was out at the site
on December 28t" to look at the repairs. The pool between the boulders and the sill was being maintained with the
intended drop from the sill and water was flowing over the riffle.

Hi Lauren and Becky. Quick question: during my site visit with Becky on 11/17/2020 she noted that water was not
flowing over the boulder cross vane as designed but rather was running around the boulder to one side. Also, water was
apparently accessing a void and running under the constructed riffle rather than running on top of it. The pictures
indicate that water is still running around the boulder cross vane, and water appears to be running under the
constructed riffle at the top and bottom of that feature. Have either of these issues been corrected? Thanks.

Good morning Dave,
We received confirmation this morning that the plants are officially in (see attached photos).
This should wrap up the NOV for Huffman.
Is there anything else you need from us to close this one out?
Thanks,

Becky has been corresponding with the team and the site appears to be functioning as designed.
It is anticipated that planting should occur the first week of January.
We will keep you updated as things progress.

David:
The contractor made the repairs made to the cross vane and riffle yesterday. The stream has very little flow so they are
currently unable to see how the repairs are working as they pumped the water out of the work areas yesterday. I looked
at the weather projections and it is not project to rain until the week of thanksgiving. I asked them to temporarily matt
the area and that we will have another look to verify the sites function after Thanksgiving. Just wanted to make sure you
are ok with this approach. I would prefer not to do the final seeding and planting yet until we know that it is functioning
correctly. Let me know your thoughts when you have a minute.
Thanks,
