Dear Sir or Madam:
Please find enclosed an application fee of $200.00, a permit application (seven copies} for a
Nationwide Permit No. 39, and related maps for a proposed pond site on the property of Rockfish
Meadows, Inc. (formerly owned by Mr. Robert B. Herring) Rose Hill, NC. Rockfish Meadows,
Inc., which is a Christian Camp, is planning to .construct a dam across a small draw to impound
water for a small recreationalpond to be used by the camp and for a reservoir if needed for fire
protection. The total impact on wetlands will be 0.495 acres. As you can see from the topo, there is
no stream running through this area. The headwaters for the branch is within the proposed pond site
and becomes larger as it meanders to the northeast toward Rockfish Creek. There is approximately
10 acres of property, which will contribute runoff into this pond. If there is a need for additional
information please let me know.
Thank you for you help in permitting this project.
Sincerely,
~~
Manley D. Carr, PLS

VIII. Mitigation
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.
PAQP. 9 of 1 ~

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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, enhancing, 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 NCWRP 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. enr.state. nc. us/ncwetlands/strm~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.
Conservation easement of 5.0 acres+ will be set aside for mitigation. This easement will
be 75 feet wide and runs parallel and adjacent to the run of Rockfish Creek. This easement
will be granted to the Duplin Count oil and Water Conservation (See attached description
and maw)
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wr_p/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

(federal/state) land?
Yes ^ No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the

required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers,must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
.l, applicant's discretion.

Yes ^ No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ^ No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
