Subject: Creeping Swamp C-D BPDP Second Revisions

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 September 23, 2023, Restoration Systems, LLC (RS) submitted a Bank Parcel
Development Package (Plan) for the Creeping Swamp C-D 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 RS 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 RS is ready to submit their final project Plan, please include a summary of all responses by RS
to the DWR comments acknowledging how RS 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 4) 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 Katie or I know.

This does not need to be broken out by the two phases. DWR just wants the overall total.

Apologies if the initial comment on splitting the table was misleading. DWR still wants just one credit table for this project. Within the table have
the first row say "Creeping Swamp Phase C" in the feature name with nothing else, then below that have the corresponding phase C features
represented like you do in this credit table. Then in the same credit table have a row that says "Creeping Swamp Phase D" in the feature name with
nothing else, then have the corresponding Phase D features represented like you do in the Phase D credit table. If this does not make sense please
feel free to reach out for clarification.

the measurement for determining credit assets within specific widths is taken perpendicular and landward from top of bank since that's our policy
for measuring except under special circumstances
