Hi Ian
Here is the email from Kim Garvey regarding the ponds off.of Highway 211. Hopefully, Kim is going to issue a
formal letter stating that there is no violation here. Joanne told me she doesn't agree with this call (she believes
it should be at least isolated wetlands) but I haven't seen anything in writing from her about it.
As I mentioned in my long-winded voice mail (sorry about that), the applicant had originally applied for 1.99
acres of wetland impact. Based on comments from several agencies, the applicant agreed to construct a few
additional bridges and total wetland impacts were reduced to 1.5 acres. Our letter responding to agency
comments (dated 8/17/07) refers to this. Since we sent that letter, the mayor of St. James has requested an
additional emergency access road in the site. This is going to slightly increase impacts. I hope to have a final
site plan very shortly so an exact acreage can be obtained.
Some of the mitigation will occur on site and the remainder will be handled through EEP. The mitigation will
change from what was proposed in the 8/17/07 letter because of the above-mentioned site plan revisions.
Attached is the EEP acceptance letter.
Since total wetland impacts and mitigation are going to change slightly, can I request through this email that the
401 review period be placed on hold until we get you this information?
Thanks!
Kim Williams

These ponds would be considered isolated waters, not isolated wetlands, correct?
Thanks,
Kim

All,
We have determined that the subject ponds along NC Hwy 211 reviewed on 10/11/07 by Jennifer Frye and
myself of the Corps are isolated (per Wilson and SWANCC).
I suggest you contact DWQ to determine their requirements.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Cazolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that
the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of
the issued 404 Permit/401 Certit3cation/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the
applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice
will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized
work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and
policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the
followintr table.

Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies
require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional
mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The
mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C. Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kelly Williams at [phone].
