Mr. Brame, Mr. Hopper, Ms. Homewood,
I hope this email finds each of you doing well. I response to your comments and questions:
- I designed lots 22 and 23 two dimensionally, and although I knew that there would be some fill slope
associated with pad construction, I did not realize how far it would extend until after Mr. Stimpson had created
the 3 dimensional civil design portion. Once I realize that there would be wetland impact, I had Mr. Brame
submit application for impact. I will re -design, moving the pad on 22 to the north and east to get the fill slope
out of the wetland. I will likely not be able to move the proposed pad on 23 far enough, so I will simply have to
eliminate that lot to avoid impact. I provide no defense that the subdivision is infeasible with the loss of one lot,
and willingly make that concession.
- The creek crossing location was chosen based on several factors (location of the terminus of the road we plan
to extend, horizontal and vertical criteria for public roads, etc.), but was also very strongly dictated by wishing
to cross as close to perpendicular as possible (which mitigates impact) AND the location of the buried Colonial
pipelines. Their depth is a limiting factor, and the proposed location of our creek crossing is designed to miss
an angle (bend) in their lines and shallow placement. They have approved the current road location, and that
has been an arduous (and expensive) task. I really see no ability to change the location of my proposed
crossing, but am both willing and desirous to effectuate a design and construction which mitigates impact.
Mr. Stimpson,
Please comment additionally in regards to #3 in Mr. Hopper's email.

Good Afternoon Brad,
It looks like we need to address one more comment along with the other two.

Good Afternoon, Mike:
Thank you for your application to utilize NWP 29 to construct the proposed Raven Ridge Subdivision
(f.k.a. Arnold Road). We have reviewed and need additional information to ensure the application is
complete.
1. The USACE shares the same concern for lots 22 and 23. Please provide a copy of your
response to NCDWR for our review and consideration.
2. Mitigation for wetland impacts for the USACE begins at 0.1 acre. Because what is proposed
is within 1/1000 of that threshold, please provide assurances this will be achieved through
detailed impact exhibits. Justification for the need for this impact is also requested. Please
note, an as -built survey may be required after construction is complete.
3. Please provide more justification for the placement of the stream crossing proposed. More
armoring is proposed on the upstream side of this crossing than downstream. Please
elaborate on the concerns the designers are attempting to address. Note that additional
questions may be asked once more detail is provided. Also please consider a different fill
pattern for rip -rap on engineering exhibits, as what was used obscures the resources below.
Thanks again — please let me know if there are questions or concerns.
Regards,

Mike,
I have reviewed the application documents for this project and have the following comments/items:
1. The statement that the wetland needs to be filled to accommodate lots 22 and 23 is insufficient
to support that the project has minimized impacts to the maximum practical. Please provide
avoidance of these wetland impacts or provide additional justification for why the subdivision is
infeasible with the removal, or resizing of these 2 lots out of the total 72 lots.
2. The wetland impacts listed for this project are 0.099. This effectively amounts to 0.10 acres and
therefore mitigation will be required for the impacts pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H .0506(c)
