Location/Description of Proposed Activity: The 22.44 acre tract is located near the intersection of Western
Blvd and Gum Branch Road within Kensington Park at the terminus of Winterlochen Drive just north of
Jacksonville, adjacent to an unnamed tributary of the New River, Pender County. The applicant has
submitted a Preconstruction Notification Application for impacts to 126 linear feet of stream and 0.115 acres
of wetlands for the purpose of residential development.
Type of Permit Applied For (check one): IP Q NWP (X) GP ( )
Applicable law: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (X ); Section 10, Rivers and Harbor Act ( )
YOUR APPLICATION IS INCOMPLETE AND CANNOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION IS RECEIVED (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):
^ Your application form has not been completed and/or signed (see remazks)
:• Under the conditions of the Nationwide Permit, mitigation is required for your project. The
mitigation proposal submitted with your application is insufficient. (see remarks.)
:• Your application did not include a statement explaining how avoidance and minimization for losses
of waters of the U.S. were achieved on the project site. (see remarks)
o~ Your submitted project plans or maps were insufficient, too large, or not legible (see remarks).
^ Your application did not include a delineation of affected special aquatic sites, including wetlands, -
vegetated shallows, and riffle and pool complexes as required.
^ You must submit a copy of your application to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) since your
proposed work is in a designated trout water county (see remarks section below for the address of your
WRC representative)
Other (see remarks below).
REMARKS:
1. Please exhaust all on-site mitigation options fast before considering off-site options. Please be reminded
that one on-site mitigation option always available is the preservation of the remaining wetlands. If
preservation is proposed, please provide your preservation document and preservation map. If preservation
is not proposed you must descnbe why it is impracticable. If you are able to utilize preservation, you can
approach NCEEP at a 1:1 ratio, otherwise off site mitigation alone would start at 2:1.
2. There needs to be more consideration given to avoidance and minimization or at least a better explanation
of attempts to minimise impacts. For example, please provide information as to why a 961ineaz foot culvert
is required to provide a base fora 30' road. It appeazs that the project could be designed to impact less
stream channel.

3. Please simplify your plat view drawings. Please remove any lines or contours not necessary for the wetland
permit. At present, it is difficult to see the jurisdictional areas to include the impact areas.
4. Understanding that the City has required the stub out road (Woodbury Place), please provide some
document able evidence that the City is requiring this approach. The proof could come from citations of the
City's zoning requirements or a copy of the specific notification from the City requiring such a road. The
Corps will also need to seethe jurisdictional features on the opposite side of the stub road. The Corps
needs confirmation that the stub road is at least located at the proper crossing location.
Please submit the above information within 30 days of receipt of this Notification or we will
consider your application withdrawn and close the file. As always, if any changes are made to
the impact totals please adjust the PCN accordingly.
