Did you ever re-address the mitigation requirements? His previous permit actions on the property already included
wetland impacts and this proposal involves additional impacts and we will need to address those as cumulative. He did
not mitigate for the previous loss of wetlands as part of the scope of analysis there was not any additional proposed
impacts at that time. However, as discussed previously, the applicant's preferred option to preserve wetlands on the site
is not favorable to the Federal review agencies and we recommend that you provide further information on this matter.

Thanks!

Kevin, Courtney and All,

Please see attached letter related Mr. Carawan's jetty project. This is not a request to take the permit off-hold yet, but
more of a request for further consideration before resuming the review.

Thanks,

Re: Carawan Marina, Mitigation Plan
The purpose of this correspondence is to revise the proposed compensatory mitigation plan
associated with the proposed Section 404 Wetland fill (5,321 sq.ft.) to access the western jetty. In the
CAMA Major Modification request package, the proposed mitigation plan included:
"Section 404 wetland preservation at a minimum ration of 5:1. Since there are in -kind on -site
wetlands present on the subject property, this form of mitigation on the subject property and
could be considerably more than 5:1 if deemed necessary by USACE. It is understood that
mitigation credits are available through the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS), but this
is not the preferred mitigation option by the client due to costs and also because of the
availability to offer mitigation on- site."
After recent discussions with Phillip Carawan and an understanding that preservation is not the
preferred form of mitigation in this particular case, the proposed mitigation plan has been amended to
purchase mitigation credits from The Great Dismal Swamp Restoration Bank, LLC ( GDSRB). Prior
to contacting DMS, I contacted GDSRB and confirmed that they are currently able to supply credits
from their Timberlake location. Please see the attached acceptance letter, dated 6/22/2015.
Please contact me if you have any questions or if you need any additional information.
Thank You.
