Zach,
-Please see attached NCDMS Acceptance Letter for mitigation.
-Impacts W1 and W3 will be for driveways to the back of the lot. The engineer did not prepare drawings for the driveway
impacts. The culverts will likely be small diameter (12" or 18"). There is no stream in these sections so the culvert
would not need to be buried below ground surface. It looks like the width of the impact is about 25ft to allow for
driveway and utility (water power, communications) installation.
-No filling of the pond is proposed. The homes on Lots 8, 9, 12, and 13 will be sited on high ground.
Let me know if you need any additional information.

Hello Krissina,
I am performing my review of the above referenced project application and I have a few questions before I can finish up:
• I was unable to find a mitigation credit statement of availability letter (SOA) in the submitted application
packet. Please provide a copy of this letter that indicates mitigation credits are available for the 0.156 acres of
wetland impacts.
• Are there more detailed drawings of the culvert impacts for W1 & W3? Something like the one included for
W2.
The project site plan (page 37) depicts lots over the existing —1 acre pond. The impacts requested in your
application appear to be for wetlands only (W1, W2, & W3).
o Please confirm that there will be no impacts due to lot fill/housing to the existing pond.
