All,
Thank you for your PCN, dated 3/14/2022, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need
clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39 (https://saw-
reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2021/NWP39.pdf). Please submit the requested information below (via e-mail is fine) within 30
days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide Permit or consider
your application withdrawn and close the file:
1) Based on proposed grading, wetland fill, and re-routing of drainage into stormwater ponds, the project appears
to eliminate the drainage area/hydrology source for the remainder of the wetland downstream of the proposed
i

impact site. Can measures be taken to re -introduce surface or subsurface hydrology to this wetland at the toe of
fill? Typical measures include a French drain from the seep point/wellpoint to an outlet at the toe of fill and/or
low velocity discharge from a stormwater pond to the toe of fill. If such changes are practicable, please describe
and update the plansheet(s) accordingly. See figure below. Surface water runoff is being directed to the toe of
fill to sustain hydrology to the wetland.
Unless otherwise justified per the above, the Corps would consider the remainder of the wetland downslope of
the toe of fill as a reasonably foreseeable indirect impact (see NWP General Conditions "District Engineers
Decision") resulting from a loss of hydrology. Unless otherwise justified, compensatory mitigation would be
required for both direct impacts and indirect impacts resulting in a loss of hydrology and therefore aquatic
function; compensatory mitigation is typically required at a 2:1 ratio, depending largely on resource quality
(reference the NCWAM score of "High" for this wetland).
2) Your compensatory mitigation plan is sufficient. However, based on the wetland in question keying out to an
NCWAM "Headwater Forest" wetland type, the correct compensatory mitigation impact type is "Riparian non-
riverine" rather than non -riparian. Please provide an updated acceptance letter from your chosen compensatory
mitigation provider.
A revised letter from the Division of Mitigation Services is attached to this email.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

Expiration of Acceptance: 11/2/2022
Project: McConnell Road Industrial Project County: Guilford
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

Thank you for your interest in the DMS in -lieu fee mitigation program. If you have any questions or need
additional information, please contact [e-mail].
