I have completed my initial review of the report and I have determined that it is incomplete. The following information is necessary before a permit can be issued: a. Complete the attached Aquatic Resources Upload Spreadsheet (in excel form) for all aquatic resources located within the proposed project area. The JD request package included a PDF version of the spreadsheet; however, the Corps needs the spreadsheet in excel form and not a PDF supplement to the PJD request package. b. In Section D(2) of the PCN you stated all wetland impacts were temporary; however, Impacts Nos. 1-8 and 10 are wetland conversion impacts which are considered permanent impacts. Therefore, the project as proposed has 0.71 acers of permanent wetland conversion impacts and 0.35 acres of temporary wetland impacts. c. The PCN lacked a Compensatory Mitigation Reservation Letter from NCDMS or a Mitigation Bank for the 0.71 acres of permanent wetland conversion impacts. Therefore, please provide a signed Compensatory Mitigation Reservation Letter for NCDMS or a mitigation bank. d. Please provide the following information for the applicant of the proposed project: - Company Name - Point of Contact (full first and last name) - Mailing address - Telephone number - Email address Please provide the information requested above in ONE consolidated response within 30-days of the date of this correspondence. If you do not respond within 30-days, the request will be administratively canceled. Please contact me via telephone or e-mail if you have any questions.

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.

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.
