W&R Project #03070242
Dear Ms. Karoly,
On behalf of Beach House Properties, LLC., we are providing a courtesy copy of the PCN for the
placement of fill into 0.09 acres of isolated wetlands for the construction of the proposed project.
A copy of this PCN has also been provided directly to Ms. Joanne Steenhuis in the Wilmington
Field Office.
The site is located at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of 14`h Street and Greenfield Ave,
in Wilmington, New Hanover County. The project is approximately 2.0 acres in size and is
located in the Cape Fear basin. The onsite wetlands were reviewed and determined to be isolated
by Ms. Jennifer Frye (AID #2007-885-065) on March 8, 2007. A copy of the JD Tearsheet has
been provided as an Appendix to the enclosed PCN.
The current request is for 0.09 acres of impacts to isolated wetlands (see the attached maps
and PCN for details).
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincere ,

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable inchide,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Worlc in North Carolina, available at
http•//h2o enr state nc us/newetlands/strm~ide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Per Water Quality Certification #3402 Section 7 ("In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) compensatory mitigation may be required for impacts to 150 linear feet or more of
streams and/or one acre or more of wetlands for an entire project") no mrti~atlon is
anticipated for the proposed project
