Dear Mr. Matthews:
~ S o0 Cp ~ v. 3
Per your request we have updated our plan sheets to show the proposed modified right-of--way
line needed to establish a permanent protected buffer for the four on-site stream relocations at
Sites 1, 3 and 6. The proposed buffer widths range between thirty and fifty feet. If the proposed
on-site mitigation is approved, we will acquire the revised right-of--way depicted in the plans,
proof of which can be provided. We will then erect the woven wire restricted access fencing as
proposed in the initial permit modification request. The fencing will follow the new right of way
Iine to prevent mowing in the protected buffer.
Please also note that the cross vane rock weir on the eastern side of the Site #1 relocation has
been relocated on the plans to the western end to prevent a headcut from forming in the new
channel. Also note that Detail #33 (riprap embankment) at Site #3 has been eliminated from the
plans. This relocation has already been constructed. I have included before and after photos of
this Site, which illustrates that the bank was not armored.
I am forwarding this supplemental information to Sue Homewood, NCDENR, Division of Water
Quality, for her review as well. If further information is required, or if you need clarification on
any other issues, please advise. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.

Before and after of Site #3 stream relocation. The retaining wall and concrete slabs no longer
line the southern bank. Across vane rock weir was also added. Note that Detail #33 (riprap
embankment) has been removed from the plans and was not installed in the field. The area was
seeded with native grasses and will be live staked at a more appropriate time of year.
