Good morning Dana,
Based on The USACE's email dated 12/15/2021 and the requirements of the Rules found in 15A
NCAC 02H .0505 (b) The Division shall issue an individual certification or a "Certificate of Coverage"
under a general certification upon determining that the proposed activity will comply with state
water quality standards, which includes designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the
state's antidegradation policy, as defined in the rules of 15A NCAC 02B .0200 and the rules of 15A
NCAC 02L .0100 and .0200. In assessing whether the proposed activity will comply with water quality
standards, the Division shall evaluate if the proposed activity:
1. has avoided and minimized impacts to surface waters and wetlands to ensure any
remaining surface waters or wetlands, and any surface waters or wetlands downstream,
continue to support existing uses during and after project completion;
The DWR has additional questions regarding the proposed development associated with project
#20211635 and has determined that additional information will be necessary to complete the
review of your permit application. The application is on hold until all of the following information
has been received by our office. Please revise your application in accordance with the
recommendations of the resource agencies. Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.

Dana,
I hope you're doing well.
I've finally had a chance to review the plans for the proposed project at 4201 Barnes bluff Drive in
Southport, NC
USACE Project ID:
SAW-2021-02405
See comments below:
-1 agree with Holly's review of the proposed house layout. It appears that the house can be moved
closer to the road. There's room to move everything closer to the 20' front building setback line. This
would reduce the wetland impacts for the corner of the house and the maintenance/ work area
around the house.
-The proposed retaining wall and wetland line are kinda wonky, Is the retaining wall only going to be
constructed for the side along the wetlands? With this kind of construction there is a good chance
that erosion could occur where the retaining wall ends, with sediment making its way into the
wetlands.
-1 guess that is a proposed deck on the back of the house? While the deck might not actually be an
impact (if constructed high enough over the wetland with spacing) If the entire house pad is moved
forward the deck could probably be constructed entirely out of the wetland?
While these are minimal impacts, due to the quality of the adjacent waters we still request that you
and your applicant try to avoid and minimize as much as possible.
Thanks,
Respectfully,
Gary
