Nationwide Permit No. 39 SAME Project No. 105412 -325
Klausner Lumber Two Project, Enfileld, Halifax County, NC May 29, 2013
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide economic development and job opportunities
for the population of Halifax and surrounding counties. The project will involve the construction
of a complete lumber processing facility (production sawmill) with railway, log truck, and
vehicular access ingress and egress, and associated site grading. The type of equipment that will
be used during grading and construction activities include: backhoe, graders, pans. mixers,
cranes, etc. The project area consists primarily of existing agricultural farmland and is bordered
on the west by Marsh Swamp and the CSX Railway, bordered on the north by Dog Pond Branch,
bordered on the east by U.S Hwy 301 and bordered on the south by an unnamed tributary of
Marsh Swamp. The project location is shown on the Enfield N.C. USGS Topographic Map
(Figure 1), the Halifax County Soil Survey Map (Figure 2), and a color aerial photograph
(Figure 3) included in Appendix H. The overall and individual impact maps are included in
Appendix III.
S &ME performed the original wetland delineation and stream assessments in September and
October of 2012, and conducted subsequent on -site regulatory review meetings with the USACE
(Thomas Brown) on September 9, 2012 and the NCDWQ (Martin Richmond) on October 11,
2012. A letter from NCDWQ confirming the stream determination dated December 5, 2012
(from Martin Richmond) was issued and is included in Appendix IV. Routine Wetland
Determination Forms are included in Appendix V.
PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACTS
The project will involve the filling of one jurisdictional wetland area (0.062 acres), one
intermittent stream channel area (79 linear feet, 158 square feet), one open water area (0.159
acres) and riparian stream buffer (10,404 square feet). Proposed impacts are shown on the
Impact Maps (Sheets 2 -4) included in Appendix III.
PROTECTED SPECIES AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
Protected Species
S &ME's review of potential protected species habitat entailed a literature review of existing
records obtained from federal and state sources to identify documented records of protected
species. The USFWS current list of federally protected species was consulted for a listing of
protected species documented within Halifax County, North Carolina. This review identified
five protected animal species. Listed species and their federal status are identified in Table 1.
Explanations of rankings are included at the end of the table.

As part of the literature review, S &ME also consulted the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program NCNHP Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database Virtual Workroom and
Element Occurrence (EO) Database for a listing of EO's of endangered or threatened species
within or near the project area. This review did not identify EO's pertaining to federally
protected species within a two -mile radius of the project area.
Cultural Resources
S &ME's review of historic properties on the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Virtual Workroom (http: / /gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/) did not
reveal any historic properties in the project area.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to site planning, wetlands, streams, and open waters were identified and confirmed by both
the USACE and NCDWQ. Based on this information the design of the project site was oriented
to keep the majority of site grading outside of jurisdictional and buffered areas. In areas where
fill slopes intrude into existing jurisdictional and/or buffered areas, slopes with 2:1 ratios were
utilized to achieve desired grades with minimal impact. The cut and fill balance of project site
kept grading near buffered areas to a minimum.
Site grading associated with this project has been phased in order to further avoid impacts. Phase
1 of the project will begin at the higher elevations of the project site while grading and erosion
control progresses closer to the jurisdictional wetlands and buffered streams in Phase 2 of the
project. Phase 1 of the project approved a disturbance of 35 acres to begin critical foundational
and mechanical portions of the project. Phase 2 includes the majority of the site grading and all
grading along the borders of the site.
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices outlined in the most recent version of the
"North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by
NCDENR Division of Land Quality will be in compliance with specifications governing the

Nationwide Permit No. 39 S &ME Project No. 1054 -12 -325
Klausner Lumber Two Project, Enfileld, Halifax County, NC May 29, 2013
proper design, installation, operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices
(BMP's) to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. After construction,
disturbed areas will be seeded and restored.
MITIGATION
The proposed permanent impacts to Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer include 5,508 square feet of
Zone 1 impacts and 4,896 square feet of Zone 2 impacts. Using the required mitigation of a 3:1
for Zone 1 impacts and 1.5:1 for Zone 2 impacts, the total amount of buffer mitigation required
for this project is 23,868 square feet. There is no private mitigation bank available and therefore
payment into the NCEEP has been applied for and a copy of the acceptance letter has been
attached as Appendix VI.
CLOSING
By copy of this correspondence and completed PCN, we are requesting your written concurrence
with this NWP No. 39 permit application. If we can provide additional information or answer
