RE: Ray/Cartrette Access Road (Proposed) ~TUNnsa~~~TC~-~~Tr~g~wcl~
Columbus County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Garvey:
On behalf of Larry Cartrette, we are pleased to submit this request for both the
validation of the wetland determination/delineation conducted on the referenced
;. _ project and pre-construction notification for the unavoidable impacts to wetland
resources associated with the project. This letter summarizes our findings and
requested approvals.
Background:
Larry Cartrette is planning to build two residences on an isolated upland within
his property boundary; however, an access road must be built, partially within
wetlands, to reach the building footprint. The property is adjacent to Ken Ray
Road (private) and 0.10 of a mile east of Peacock Road in Columbus County,
North Carolina (see Project Location Map -Figure 1).
The Brigman Company has been contracted by the applicant to identify and
delineate waters of the United States, including wetlands occurring within the
limits of the property, review the proposed project objectives, assess the impacts
that these activities on freshwater wetlands functions and suggest project
revisions which will minimize impacts and ensure the project is consistent with
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and NC DENR guidelines and regulations.
404 Wetlands:
The project area was evaluated for potential wetland impacts subject to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act in October 2007 by The Brigman Company.
WWW.TIiEbRICIMANCOMPANr.COM
P.O. Box 7 532 CoNway, SC 29528 [phone] FAX [phone]

One contiguous freshwater wetland ecosystem totaling [22.55-acres] was found
to occur within the limits of the project area. The freshwater wetland is
jurisdictional and contiguous with Grissett Swamp. The eastern edge of the
wetland falls short of the property line, but does not leave enough room to
construct an access road entirely within uplands as illustrated on the attached
Plan/Detail/X-Section View (Figure 4).
Dominant species occurring within the wetland include black gum (Nyssa
sylvatica), yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and red maple (Acer rubrum).
Understory species consists of netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata), and
giant cane (Arundinaria gigantic). Representative photographs of existing
conditions of wetland are enclosed for your review and information.
Avoidance/Minimization Efforts:
Complete avoidance of impacts to freshwater wetland resources is not practical
due to the location and distribution of the wetland within the project area. Mr.
Cartrette is geographically isolated from the rear upland portion within his
property boundary. The proposed roadway is positioned along the edge of his
eastern property boundary avoiding most of the wetland and minimizing the
damage to the wetland. All valuable wetland resources are to be avoided when
practical (i.e. only the portion of wetlands critical to providing access into the
property has been impacted).
Although it was not possible to simultaneously achieve optimum conditions for
each of these design criteria the development plan was developed so that a
reasonable balance could be achieved between avoidance of wetland resources
and the various logistical, economic, and safety parameters that must be
satisfied.
Proposed Wetland Impacts:
Since the wetlands almost completely bisect the site, a minor discharge into the
wetland is required to provide critical access into the otherwise isolated upland
area to facilitate development of two houses. The construction of the linear road
crossing will require the deposition of fill material into [0.006-acres] of freshwater
wetlands.
Throughout the design process the unavoidable impacts to wetland resources
have been held beneath the 1/10 acre threshold therefore no mitigation is
proposed at this time.

Request for Validation/Nationwide Permit #18 Authorization:
Acting as agent for Mr. Cartrette, we hereby request that the wetland
determination of the subject site be audited and a letter of verification be issued
provided that it meets with your approval. Furthermore, we are also requesting
verification that the unavoidable impacts to wetland resources occurring onsite
resulting from a minor discharge authorized under the current Nationwide Permit
#18.
Along with a Request for Validation of Wetland Determination form and a
Preconstruction Notification form we are providing the following supplemental
information.
• Project Location Map - Figure 1
• U.S.G.S. Quadrangle -Figure 2
• Overall View -Figure 3
• Plan/Detail/Section View - Figure 4
• Preliminary Wetland Determination -Figure 5
• USDA Soil Survey - Figure 6
• Determination Data Forms
• Representative Photographs of Existing Conditions
Please notify me at your earliest convenience in order to schedule an onsite
meeting.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please advise.
Sincerely,

site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Access road is pushed to the far eastern property boundary only causing a minimal impact to
the wetlands onsite. In addition the width of the road is being minimized for only the absolute
necessary width for passage of construction and smaller vehicles.
VIII. Mitigation
Page 9 of 13

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 include,
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, enhancirig, 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 Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.em-.state.nc.us/nc~~°etlands/sh•in~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.
Mitigation not required
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
