Project Description and History State / Province / Region NC Country USA 4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: * The Site is comprised of a single parcel (originally two parcels that were recombined). The Site is undeveloped and primarily used for agricultural. The drainages on the property are comprised of mature pines and hardwoods. The topography of the Site ranges from a high point of +/- 380 feet above mean sea level (msl) on the westem property boundary of the Site, to a low point of +/- 330 feet msl in the northern portion where the drainage exits the Site (see attached Figure 3). Surrounding area land use is a mix of agricultural lands, woodlands, and scattered residential. 4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?* 0 Yes O No 0 Unknown 4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 648 LF 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: * The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a residential development to help meet the housing need in the area. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: * The project is to construct a residential subdivision with necessary internal roads. There is one stream crossing to access the useable upland portions of the property. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. The remaining jurisdictional resources on the Site are avoided. Utilities for the proposed project will connect to existing utility lines adjacent to the Site. Heavy equipment typically used for residential construction (e.g. backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized. 5. Jurisdictional Determinations 5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?* ,)Yes ONo Comments: 5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made? * 0 Preliminary 0 Approved ,) Not Verified 0 Unknown 0 N/A Corps AID Number: SAW-2021-02721 (PJD requested but not yet issued) 5c.

Total jurisdictional ditch impact in square feet: 0 3i. Total permanent stream impacts: 130 3i. Total stream and ditch impacts: 144 3i. Total temporary stream impacts: 14 3j. Comments: Stream SA bisects the majority of the property and therefore, necessitates the need for the single road crossing. Of the 144 LF of stream impact, 124 LF is associated with the culvert and channel realignment at the outlet. The remaining impacts are for a countersunk rip rap outlet dissipator pad (permanent impact, but not permanent loss) and the temporary impacts necessary for diking the channel to conduct the culvert installation in the dry. The temporary dewatering of the channel will be done concurrently with the culvert installation. 6. Buffer Impacts (for DWR) 6a. Project is in which protect basin(s)? Check all that apply.

Comments: Per the Tar -Pamlico riparian buffer rules, Table of Uses [15A NCAC 026.0734 (11)] perpendicular road crossings which impact less than 1/3rd acre of riparian buffer impact are "Allowable upon Authorization". E. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: There is one pond and two streams on the property, one of which mostly bisects the Site. There is only one, intermittent stream crossing proposed to access the useable upland portions of the property. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. All other jurisdictional features on the Site have been avoided. Lots were positioned to avoid additional fill and/or impact to streams. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from stormwater runoff. lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into stream. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? O Yes O No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: Total impacts to streams and riparian buffers are below typical mitigation thresholds. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules? O Yes O No What type of SCM are you providing? 111 Level Spreader O Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT) Wetland Swale (higher SHWT) O Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer 2. Stormwater Management Plan 2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?* Yes •; No 2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)? •' Yes 0No Comments: A preliminary stormwater application has been submitted to the County for the proposed development, but the subdivision is exempt from stormwater requirements. The development is within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin and does not propose to increase the impervious surface to 15% of the total site area and therefore, no peak flow attenuation requirements between pre -development and post -development are needed. The nutrient loading for the proposed land cover does not exceed the loading goals for the Tar -Pamlico River Basin and therefore, no BMPs are required. G. Supplementary Information 1. Environmental Documentation la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?* Yes O No 2. Violations (DWR Requirement) 2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?* Yes •) No 3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement) 3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?* O Yes O No 3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. Per the NC DWQ April 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale residential development projects have a "low potential for cumulative impact" since the project already in a developed landscape (i.e. existing residences and development in the vicinity) and the area already contains the necessary infrastructure (i.e. electricity, etc.). The project drains to Cedar Creek, which is Class C; Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW), (i.e. not HQW or ORW). We anticipate the NCDWR will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative analysis is needed. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) 4a.

Salisbury St. Wake Forest, NC 27587 Raleigh, NC 27604 Re: Peach Orchard Subdivision Request for NWP 29, GC 4256 Authorization & Riparian Buffer Authorization Sage Project #2021.146 On behalf of Mr. David Williams and Lumpkin and Lumpkin LLC/River Pointe, LLC (owner), please find attached a complete application and supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that the activities associated with the proposed development of the Peach Orchard Subdivision (Project) may proceed under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 and General Certification 4256 (GC 4256). Project Purpose and Location The Project includes the construction of a single-family residential subdivision proposed to meet demand for housing in the area. The +/- 68-acre Site is located on Peach Orchard Road approximately 4-miles south of the intersection of Peach Orchard Road and NC Highway 56 in Louisburg, Franklin County, NC. The coordinates of 36.0516°N, 78.4048°W generally correspond to the center of the Site. Project Detail The proposed Project consists of the construction of a residential development with associated utilities and roads. Homes will be on individual septic systems and shared wells. Access to the Site will be provided via Peach Orchard Road to the south. Heavy equipment typically used for development projects (e.g., backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized. No federally threatened or endangered species are listed to occur on or within 1 mile of the Site according to the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Database. (see attached report dated June 17, 2022). The proposed stream impacts will occur on an intermittent stream which does not contain suitable habitat for federally listed threatened or endangered species. The Site itself is not listed as a historic property. There are ten historic properties located within 1.0 mile of the Site based on a query of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO) database however none of these are adjacent to the Site. Seven are listed as "Surveyed Only", two are listed as "Study List Property" and one is listed as "National Register Property". Figure 4 depicts the locations of these properties in relation to the Site. Project History The Site is comprised of a single parcel (originally two parcels that were recombined). The Site is undeveloped and primarily used for agricultural. The drainages on the property are comprised of mature pines and hardwoods. The topography of the Site ranges from a high point of +/- 380 feet above mean sea level (msl) on the western property boundary of the Site, to a low point of +/- 330 feet msl in the northern portion where the drainage exits the Site (see attached Figure 3). Surrounding area land use is a mix of agricultural lands, woodlands, and scattered residential. Peach Orchard Subdivision Page 1 of 2 Avoidance and Minimization The proposed stream crossing is aligned to cross the channel as perpendicularly as possible. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. Lots were positioned to avoid additional fill in wetlands and streams. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from stormwater runoff. General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into the stream and wetland areas. Protect Impacts Impact 1 is a proposed road crossing and will result in 124 linear feet (0.0085 ac) of permanent stream impact associated with a culvert, 6 linear feet (0.0011 ace) of countersunk rip rap pad and 14 linear feet (0.0009 acre) of temporary impact. Permanent riparian buffer impacts total 6,228 square feet in Zone 1 and 2,862 square feet in Zone 2. Temporary riparian buffer impacts total 1,834 square feet in Zone 1 and 1,372 square feet in Zone 2. No other impacts are proposed. Mitigation Proposed stream and riparian buffer impacts are below typical mitigation thresholds. Proposed Buffer impacts are considered "Allowable Upon Authorization" per the Table of Uses.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program IR \�70IdDTMN A The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance.

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service IPaC resource list This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project - specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information. Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts. The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often required. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly. For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an official speci list by doing the following: 1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE. 2. Click DEFINE PROJECT. 3. Log in (if directed to do so). 4. Provide a name and description for your project. 5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.

Probability of Presence Summary The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence (■) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and 4 of 8 6/17/2022, 9:50 AM INC: Explore Location resources https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/FJBN5DYRXRDZRC2MRQ... the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. Breeding Season ( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort (1) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. No Data (—) X4 A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since d in tVse areas is currently much more sparse.

Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC). and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology. Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding and citizen science datasets . Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating oryear-roun , you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the followingdistinctcategories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concerti (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). �r Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this IisS„especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotae studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If 6 of 8 6/17/2022, 9:50 AM INC: Explore Location resources https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/FJBN5DYRXRDZRC2MRQ... the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. Coastal Barrier Resources System Projects within the John H.

FRESHWATER POND Palustrine RIVERINE Riverine A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory website Data limitations The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems. Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site. Data exclusions Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. J Data precautions - Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities. 00,0 , 0\' \%NO 8 of 8 6/17/2022, 9:50 AM 0z: w o o w G 2 co t w o a o z Y Y o — O U Y > 2 ¢ Z z s z U w a s•, p�oJ Q z _N m oao�as oar i mom, i a3 &3 oo \\� z z o d �i a - m o�S LwwwiwwwLLLwwwwao III I L III I a , z o w I \\ m �S-'74 �w -- - o I 'I --� "-- Ip� ______________ I I___________I I o� n� j oo _ -_----___-__I "I �aSNo�9a3sodoad) a�Gd.old x w arc ?zm 0 U N � O O _ U � o FUo < K _w_ m U d' - Qzo L1J o ll.l W O Y > w a LL V \o e m m _ i__ — — i °w � am m a m 9 M a� i o� m, a qM As ° a _ 'o ,g o o� aJ � o _ o oo v� otie \ � o EE a= I m n ° ° Ili o _ \ o o o � _ Kati ------ -��---- — —�o16091 o o Q- o - -00 = o -o u) - o w &_ - n o a ml � �n�m �oSFF o a� o =aaEE a9 OMBIL Regulatory Module (ORM) Project Upload Template Version Date: 15-May-2022 The zip archive of upload template documents must first be downloaded and saved to your local disk.

Stream, wetland, or pond impacts are still subject to applicable water quality standards and permitting requirements. Explanation: The stream(s)/pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Franklin County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked "Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be subject to the buffer rules. There may be other streams located on the property that do not show up on the maps referenced above and are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing.
