Bailey of my staff on your property, located at 3901 East Garner Road, near Clayton, in Wake County, North Carolina. The purpose of the meeting was to assess possible unauthorized work you may have undertaken within jurisdictional wetlands on the subject property. discharge of fill material within wetlands subject to our regulatory jurisdiction located adjacent to Little Creek. This activity included placing and grading mixed soil fill material between two and six vertical feet thick on the subject property between February and November 2020. Although the full extent of wetlands filled by this activity has not been determined at this time, it appears that up to 1.25 acres of wetlands may have been impacted. This activity, undertaken in waters of the United States without the prior approval from this office in the form of a Department of the Army (DA) permit, constitutes a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). As you agreed, you should cease and desist from any further unauthorized work within waters of the United States. You and Mr. Bailey also generally discussed options to resolve such unauthorized activities, including removal of all the unauthorized fill material from wetlands and placement on high ground, seeking after-the-fact authorization for the unauthorized discharge of fill material via applying for a DA permit, or a combination of the two options. As discussed, our investigation into this matter continues and Mr. Bailey of my staff will be in contact with you in the near future to schedule a meeting to delineate the outer boundaries of wetlands via Atypical Situation procedures, and further address resolution of this violation. -2 - Failure to comply with this request may result in referral of this matter to the United States Attorney with a recommendation for appropriate action. Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this matter of importance. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Baileyat the RaleighRegulatory Field Office, telephone (919) 554-4884 extension 30, or email David.E.Bailey2@usace.army.mil FOR THE DISTRICT ENGINEER: Jean Gibby Chief, Raleigh RegulatoryField Office Copy Furnished: U.

Baileyof my staff on your property, located at 3901 East Garner Road, near Clayton, in Wake County, North Carolina. The purpose of the meeting was to follow up on unauthorized work you have undertaken within jurisdictional wetlands on the subject property, as documented in our letter to you dated March 1, 2021. As Mr. Bailey noted during your onsite meeting, we have located the Administrative Record (AR) for your property, including a record of a Jurisdictional Determination request submitted by Mr. Jay Keller of Keller Environmental, your authorized agent, received on June 5, 2018; the Action ID of this AR is SAW-2019- 00228.The ARalso confirms that my staff met with Mr. Keller on July 18, 2018, to review the wetland delineation for the purposes of a Jurisdictional Determination. The field approved wetland delineation was surveyed by Aiken & Yelle Associates, PA on July 31, 2018, and provides the best available information regarding the location and extent of wetlands on your property prior to the commencement of discharges of dredged or fill material, as documented in our previous letter. As such, a delineation of the outer boundaries of wetlands by my staff via Atypical Situation procedures is unnecessary, and we will rely on the above referenced survey as our enforcement in this matter proceeds. -2- Based on our approximation of the footprint of fill material placed at the time of your onsite meeting with Mr. Bailey on February 23, 2021, approximately 0.38 acre of wetlands had been filled by your activities. However, Mr. Bailey noted during his visiton May 4, 2021, that additional fill material had been discharged into wetlands, and additional discharges and grading via bulldozer was occurring even during this visit. Based on visual estimation during this site visit, a total of approximately 0.73 acre of wetlands have now been filled by your activities; please see the attached sketch.We reiterate that this activity, undertaken in waters of the United States without the prior approval from this office in the form of a Department of the Army (DA) permit, constitutes a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). You should cease and desist from any further unauthorized work within waters of the United States. You and Mr. Bailey also discussed options to resolve this unauthorized activity, includingremovalof all the unauthorized fill material from wetlands and placement on high ground,seeking after-the-fact authorization for the unauthorized discharge of fill material via applying for a DA permit, or a combination of the two options.It is our understanding that you intend to seek after-the-fact authorization for a portion of the unauthorized discharge of fill material via applying for a DA permit. Please be aware that, through the permitting process you are required to demonstrate purpose and need of the project, avoid and minimize your impacts to wetlands to the maximum extent practicable, and provide compensatory mitigation for any lost function of the aquatic resources. In addition, when requesting an after-the-fact DA permit, you are required to complete a Tolling Agreement. Please contact Mr. Bailey immediately if you plan to apply for after-the-fact DA authorization to discuss the permitting process. Keep in mind that you will be required to remove all discharged dredged or fill material and provide restoration to the satisfaction of this office for those areas of impacted wetlands that you do not receive after-the-fact authorization. Please provide the Corps a written response within thirty (30) days of the date of this correspondence detailing your plan for resolving the above-referenced unauthorized activity; include your intentions to restore wetlands as indicated above, and/or pursue after-the-fact DA authorization, andyour proposed timeline for each. Failure to comply with this request may result in referral of this matter to the United States Attorney with a recommendation for appropriate action. -3- Thank you for your time and cooperation in resolving this matter of importance.

If we have not received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certificationwithin this time frame, this acceptance will expire.

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. The amount of the in-lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website. 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.
