Yes, we will need an additional 0.9 wetland credits and 70 stream credits. You can call them "new" if that makes the paperwork easier.

You guys received a permit mod on November 29, 2012. We invoiced and received payment in the amount of $64,996.60 for 64 stream credits and 0.6 riparian wetland credits. The executed credit transfer was sent to you and Brad via email on Jan 29, 2013. Are you seeking the difference in stream and wetland credits or a new request of 0.9 wetland credits and 70 stream credits? Let me know and we will be glad to help out either way.

I think that ultimately, the Corps would not let us use your bank due to the impacts being too close to a tidally influenced area. Not sure, but apparently Brad is OK with us buying credits at your bank at this point. We need to obtain 0.89 credits for wetlands and 70 linear feet for stream impacts. Do you still have capacity?

This statement by the consultant was in reference to the modification from Phase I to Phase II when the Base thought they could avoid the runway setback. At that point in the process the projected impacts did drop from 0.96 to 0.45. I chose to speak in terms of the initial (0.96) to current (1.34) as the first Public Notice would have referred to 0.96. I was trying avoid confusion, guess it didn't work. I appreciate your input.

The statement below is from the modification request letter summarizing permitted jurisdictional impacts for Phase III: "Unavoidable Impacts. Unavoidable impacts due to the relocation of Perimeter Road summarized below, in comparison to the impacts as previously predicted. Formerly anticipated permanent impacts were 0.45 acre; currently, the applicant anticipates approximately 1. 34 acres of jurisdictional wetland impacts." Your explanation below states that the initial authorized impact is 0.96 acres which I believe may be erroneous. In doing the math I come up with an additional 0.96 acres of wetland impact. As long as the applicant is providing additional compensatory mitigation in the amount relating to 0.96 acres, the EPA has no concerns with the modification request. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on SAW - 2010 -01797 project modification request.

Shaver@usace. army. mil> wrote: Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Good Morning fellow colleagues, Attached you will find a modification request prepared by Dial Cordy on behalf of US Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, Onslow County. The modification request is the final phase of a previously issued individual permit, known as P683/P687 Maintenance Hangar, Parking Structure, and Airfield Service Roads on Marine Corps Air Station New River (AID# 2010 - 01797). The initial individual permit was issued August 15, 2012 which authorized the entire project but separated the action into phases (I, II, and III). Phase I was authorized for construction while Phase II and III would be authorized for construction later once plans has been finalized. Later in November of 2012, the Base was issued authorization for Phase II and III as predicted impacts were close to finalized impacts. Due to later refinements of the plans and the implementation of required federal aviation safety regulations the impacts have changed. To summarize the initial impacts for phase III were authorized at 0.96 of an acre, these impacts have now increased to 1.34 acres. The Corps has decided to not place the project back out on public notice as no comments beyond resource and permitting agency were received during the first notice. I am seeking input for you all on the current modification request relative to your program requirements. Please provide comments back to the Corps by March 31, 2104 so that the Corps can forward any comments to the consultant to address prior to making the modification decision. Your assistance as always is appreciated and please let me know if you need additional information concerning the project or its history.
