Hi Holley
Thanks for your comments. Yes- the applicant decided they want to move forward with Phase
2 of the project, which will require one additional crossing. The engineer also determined that
they can narrow the other proposed crossings, so overall impacts are less than previously
proposed. I will coordinate with the engineer to get you updated plans that also address your
comment about the culverts.
Thanks!
Kim

Good afternoon Kim,
The DWR has reviewed the above referenced project and the information contained in the
application lacks the information necessary to ensure that the project design has avoided and
minimized impacts to surface waters and wetlands to ensure any remaining surface waters or
wetlands, and any surface waters or wetlands downstream, continue to support existing uses
during and after project completion, in accordance 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(1).
Specifically the wetlands crossings B & C have not been designed with pipes to ensure the
hydrologic connectivity of the wetlands is maintained. As proposed the road and associated
wetland fill will sever connectivity in the wetlands and therefore is not consistent with the
wetlands standards found in 15A NCAC 02B .0231.
Additionally discussions with your staff indicate the scope of the project is changing and
additional impacts may be proposed that are not presented in this permit application. The
DWR is placing the project on hold until the above requested information is provided.
Any updated impact maps and associated application documents should also be submitted
that demonstrate the full scope of work proposed. Please feel free to call or email me if you
have any questions.
Sincerely,
Holley Snider . • " ><((((°>• ' ><((((°> •
