Subject: BPDP Review - Creeping Swamp A
Hey Barrett,
Pursuant to Titles 15A NCAC 02B .0295 and 15A NCAC 02B .0703 (e), a provider shall submit a
project plan proposal to the Division for review and approval that includes specific elements of the
project. On March 9, 2023, Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) submitted a Bank Parcel Development
Package (Plan) for the Creeping Swamp A Site, to the Division, for review and approval. According
to the initial review by DWR staff of the subject Plan, some elements were either not provided, not
explained thoroughly, not accurate or lacking in sufficient information.
Therefore, until DWR receives an updated Plan addressing all comments and edits provided in the
attached 1) comment summary and 2) PDF version of the document itself, DWR cannot finalize the
review of the Plan or issue an approval of the Plan. In an effort to be as efficient as possible at
providing comments to IRS during this busy time, I have provided my comments in a unique format.
Attached are the comments & edits provided within the actual PDF of a condensed Plan (without
Appendices) as well as a comment summary.
When IRS is ready to submit their final project Plan, please include a summary of all responses by IRS
to the DWR comments acknowledging how IRS addressed the comments. Please upload the final
Plan using our Mitigation Project Information Upload Form through this link:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Mitigation_ Information_ Upload . Please note the DWR ID#2022-
0620 (version 2) on all electronic submissions for this project.
Thank you for your patience during this time and if you have any difficulty reading though the
comments or edits please let Blake or I know.
Katie

Feature E is depicted as "non credit generating" but is required to be depicted as Credit generating because it is in the viablity letter and part of
this easement. RS has to measure credits off the features from tob and landward. Credit assets cannot be soley derived off Feature 1a since there
is a ditch here. RS needs to measure credits off Ditch E and show those credits in the Project credit table.
the ditch origin is depicted in the viability letter as originating within the easement boundary. Add a point showing the ditch origin of E. Non -
diffused flow is not required to be deducted off of E since E does not go beyond the easement boundary.,
