Sullins, Director Division o1~ Water Quality July 30, 2007 DWQ Project # OS 2253 ver 2 Onslow County CERTIFIED MAIL: 7006 2760 0003 3529 1731 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED John Koenig 6432 Yadkin Road Fayetteville, NC 28303 Subject Property: Kensington Park Section II REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION Dear Mr. Koenig: On July 5, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington regional Office (WiRO) received your application dated June 21, 2007 to fill approximately 0.11 acres of wetlands and 106 linear feet of stream for two road crossings. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project. Additional Information Requested: 1. Compliance with previously issued certification. As a permit condition of the Kensington Park Section I, you were required to place deed notifications or similar mechanisms on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds. (see condition #16 on WQC # 3402 sent with the certification letter). Neither this Office nor the Central Office has received a copy of the recorded deed restrictions and therefore you are in non-compliance for the previously issued Certification. This Office will need a copy of the recorded deed restrictions for Section I prior to continuing to process this application. 2. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) It appears that impacts associated with the crossing can be minimized by moving the alignment of the crossing #1 and therefore reducing the wetland impact and length of stream impact proposed to be permanently impacted for the road crossing. Please revise the narrative and plans accordingly.

Project Plans The overall site plan was too busy to see the necessary details to adequately to review the project. Please send a simplified drawing as was requested by the Corps of Engineers in their letter dated July 11, 2007. 4. Stub Out Road According to the cover letter sent with the application, the City of Jacksonville is requiring a stub out road (Woodbury Place). Please provide some documentation that the City is requiring this approach. This request was also mentioned in the Corps letter, please copy DWQ with the same information requested by the Corps. 5. Mitigation You will be required to place a deed notificationJdeed restriction on the remaining wetlands on the project. Please provide a notarized copy of the draft deed notification/restriction, covenants, preservation (if required by the Corps) language that, at a minimum, notify future lot owners that there are wetlands on the property, which are protected by the NC Division of Water Quality and the US Army Corps of Engineers. If you plan on preserving the remaining wetlands on the tract, please provide a notarized copy of the draft language that will accomplish preservation. Example language for the deed notification is available on our website http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/certs.html. 4. NPDES General Stormwater Permit No. NCGO10000 Monitoring Requirements Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be found at http://h2o.enr-.sta~e.~zc.us/su/Forms Doct~n~aents.htna. Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing and 5 copies to Ian McMillan of the DWQ 401 Oversight and Express Office at 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650.
