Hi Holley,
I took a quick look at the project information and correspondence in the LF folder.
A question I posed to Chonticha in passing yesterday was about their terminology. They seem to be
interchanging "stormwater bioswale" and "stormwater wetland" (or at least I hope this is the case
and they're not calling the tidal marsh creation a stormwater wetland), but technically these
stormwater features are different and have different standards/requirements.
They're post -construction monitoring section is very weak. They're "natural approaches to
phragmites management are limited" statement is not acceptable. If phragmites is currently present,
they should have specifics in their design/construction plan on how properly removal plant material
(including rhizomes) from the site. Reuse of soil with current phrag cover should not occur because
of rhizome fragments (same for cattail onsite). Ideally, invasives onsite should be pre-treated before
construction. And they should have a detailed post -construction phrag management plan.
Most of my initial concerns have already been caught by you and Corps. Particularly in the Corps
comment letter, I had similar questions about boardwalk shading impacts and proposed ecological
uplift and success criteria measurement. I agree they need to provide a detailed monitoring and
maintenance plan and adaptive management plan.
Also, from direct experience of trying to create a tidal marsh receiving stormwater inputs, there may
be problem areas establishing vegetation due to freshwater stormwater flows. As part of an adaptive
management plan, I'd consider including some freshwater tolerant species within the wetland fringe
around the stormwater pipe discharge area.
Right now, we need responses to Corps comment letter to know what additional questions to ask.
I'm available if you want to discuss anything.

Good afternoon Chonticha and Erin,
I am hopeful you may have a moment to look over this project (DWR#20020730v4) and provide
some comments. There is a substantial amount of wetland alteration and improvements to
stormwater treatment. I am concerned that the constructed wetland may not provide sufficient
treatment to protect downstream waters which are designated as PNA and EFH. If you do not have
access to LF please let me know and I can send a link to the files. Any assistance you can provide
would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Holley Snider ,������°>•, .. ..><((((°>.• -

Hello Cameron, we have addressed the comments and questions provided by the Division of Water
Resources (email dated 10/18/22) and the INC Wildlife Resources Commission (comments provided
10/19/22) in the attached letter.

Please let us know if this information is sufficient to take the project off hold and allow for the
permit review process to continue.
We appreciate your time and look forward to continuing to work with you and the agencies on the
Battleship NC's Living with Water project.
Thank you and hope you have a good holiday weekend,
