Response to Corps' Comments
Dear Kim:
Thank you for your letter dated September 6~', 2007 in which you request additional information about
the Reserve at St. James Plantation. Below is a response to each of your comments.
1. Please provide a full size (minimum 48 " x 36 ") color map of the entire proposal. This map should
include wetland lines, all proposed development, your preservation proposal and what is already in
preservation through different permits.
Please see the enclosed map. Please note that the wetlands that have already been placed in preservation
(347.13 acres) were not preserved as mitigation for previous permits. Remaining wetlands to be preserved
total 1275 acres.
2. Please provide this office with a spreadsheet of proposed impacts, listing the type of fill proposed for
each impact, wetland type, location within the 100 year floodplain, whether it is an existing road,
acreage for each impact artd the decidegrees of each location. This office recommends that
connections between wetlands be restored where existing roads have severed those connections.
Please see the enclosed table of proposed impacts. One additional impact (#29) has been added at the
request of the Mayor of St. James to provide emergency access to residents located in the southern portion
of the tract. Total proposed wetland impacts are now 1.51 acres. The applicant has designed several roads
to overlap existing road crossings in order to minimize wetland impacts throughout the tract. However, two
old road crossings will be removed as part of the project's mitigation plan (enclosed).
As you know, the Mayor of St. James has requested that the southern part of the development tie directly
into the western road that NC DOT is currently constructing. However, the applicant has no plans to do
this and this alternative is not a part of the proposed site plan.
3. Please provide a plan view and cross-section of proposed bridges and a typical plan view and cross-
section of proposed culverts.
Please see the enclosed cross sections.

4. Your mitigation plan is not specific enough.
a. What is the exact acreage that you are proposing for preservation for this permit? Please
break it down between acreage of wetlands and linear feet of stream. Also indicate if you plan
to incorporate passive recreation into your preservation documents.
347.13 acres of wetlands on the site have already been preserved. The applicant will preserve an
additional 1275 acres of wetlands and 5700 linear feet of stream on the site. Passive recreation will not
be incorporated into these preservation documents.
Approximately 13 acres of wetlands are located on lots that have already been sold (see Figure 6).
Therefore, these wetlands cannot be preserved by the applicant. However, these lots have sufficient
uplands on which to build and lot owners are aware that wetlands exist on their property. The
restrictive covenants for these lots explicitly notify lot owners of wetlands regulations (see attached
maps and restrictive covenants for the `Reserve Ellington').
b. Are there any areas within the previous development of St. James that you are proposing to
include for mitigation for this phase?
Previous phases of St. James Plantation were evaluated for mitigation opportunities, but none were
identified. Ditches that were dug in previous years have all been filled or plugged, in accordance with
EPA requirements. Three restoration opportunities were originally identified within the Reserve tract.
However, because of a recent request by the mayor of St. James to install an emergency access road,
one of these mitigation areas has been eliminated. There are now two mitigation sites that will restore
0.65 acre of wetlands. The applicant will buy into the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program for the
restoration of 0.86 acre ofnon-riparian wetlands. Additionally, 1275 acres of wetlands and 5700 LF of
stream will be preserved on site.
c. What preservation model are you proposing to use? Please provide this office with a draft of
the conservation easement and draft of the map for recordation.
The applicant will utilize restrictive covenants to preserve wetlands located within common areas and
within individual lots that have not already been sold. Please see the enclosed documents. The applicant
is currently preparing the preservation maps.
d. The monitoring of your restoration areas will require an initial site analysis arul a minimum of
frve years of monitoring or until full site success is achieved. Reports shall be consistent with
Regulatory Guidance Letter 06-03 and document the presence of all three wetland criteria
from the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual.
The applicant agrees with these mitigation conditions, as outlined in the mitigation plan. Because the
areas of restoration are relatively small, the applicant does not propose to install groundwater
monitoring wells. However, the survivorship of planted vegetation will be an adequate indicator of
successful hydrology.

I hope this response adequately addresses all agency concerns. Please contact me if you have any
additional questions. Thank you for your assistance with this project.
Sincerely,
(~

1.0 Introduction
In order to mitigate for 1.51 acres of 404 wetland impact associated with the Reserve at St.
James Plantation in St. James, North Carolina, the Reserve Development Company, LLC agrees to
restore wetlands on site, buy into the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and preserve
remaining wetlands and streams on site. This tract is approximately 2372.24 acres in size and is
located off of Highway 211 in Brunswick County, NC (Figure 1).
The applicant proposes to restore 0.65 acres of 404 wetlands on site by removing old dirt
roads in two locations. The elevation of these areas will be restored to wetland grade and a variety of
shrubs and trees that are similar to vegetation growing in adjacent wetlands will be planted. This
mitigation plan outlines the restoration activities planned for the site.
2.0 Site Description
2.1 Wetlands
A site delineation of 404 wetlands was performed by Land Management Group, Inc.
and was approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on 06/12/02. The site contains a
total of 1,290 acres of 404 wetlands, most of which are Carolina Bays. Most of the wetlands
can be classified as non-riparian, however the upper limits of Polly Gully Creek, one
unnamed tributary to Polly Gully Creek, and two unnamed tributaries of Beaverdam Creek
exist within the property (Figure 2). The applicant has submitted a new wetland survey to the
Corps for reauthorization.
2.2 Soils
According to the Brunswick County Generalized Soil Survey, uplands within the site
are classified as Leon fine sand, Kureb fine sand, and Mandarin fine sand (Figure 3).
Wetlands within the site are shown as Murville fine sand.
3

2.3 Vegetation
Pond pine (P. seYOtina), loblolly bay (GoYdonia lasianthus), black gum (Nyssa
sylvatica), red bay (Pef~sea borbonia), and titi (Cyrilla racemiflora) are the dominant plant
species that exist in the wetlands on this property. Uplands support loblolly pine (Pinus
tczeda), live oak (Quercus virginiana), longleaf pine (P. palustris), wax myrtle (Myrica
cerifera), and turkey oak (Q. laevis). There are several dirt logging roads located throughout
the tract, most are approximately 20' wide (Figure 4). A majority of the uplands within the
site have been cleared in anticipation of planned residential development.
3.0 Mitigation
3.1 Wetland Restoration
A total of 0.65 acre of uplands will be restored to wetlands by removing old fill
material from two locations (Figures 5-7). Material will be removed until the natural soil
profile is reached (Figures 8 & 9). Any existing culverts will be removed. If needed, a layer
of organic material obtained from the wetland areas to be filled will be removed and added
on top of the excavated area to provide a suitable substrate for vegetation establishment.
Final grade of the wetland restoration areas will be that of the adjacent existing wetlands.
Native shrub and tree species (Table 1) will be established in the restoration areas at an eight-
foot spacing (a total of approximately 450 plants). In addition to the planted material, it is
anticipated that vegetation from surrounding areas will volunteer into the area.
In addition to the on-site restoration, the applicant will also buy into the Ecosystem
Enhancement Program for the restoration of 0.86 acre of non-riparian wetlands located
elsewhere within the Lower Cape Fear Watershed.
3.2 Wetland Preservation
The applicant has already preserved a large amount of wetlands on site through
conservation easements with the North American Land Trust (NALT). An additional 1275
acres of wetlands and 5700 linear feet of stream on site will be preserved using restrictive
covenants.
4

4.0 Monitoring
A general site analysis will occur immediately after mitigation activities have been completed
and will consist of taking photographs of the restored wetlands to evaluate initial success. A small
narrative will be written that summarizes mitigation activities and will be submitted to the Corps and
DWQ office. From then on, monitoring will occur annually for five years, or until deemed successful
by the Corps and DWQ. During each monitoring event, the vegetation within the restored areas will
be counted and identified. Success criteria will be the survival of at least 70% of planted vegetation.
A monitoring report that summarizes these results and includes photographs of the mitigation site
will be submitted to the Corps and DWQ by January 1 sc of each year. Because of the small size of the
wetland restoration areas, hydrological monitoring will not occur. However, the survivorship of
wetland plants within the areas will provide a good indication of hydrology.
5.0 Implementation Schedule
Wetland mitigation will commence as soon as all necessary permits have been obtained, with
wetland vegetation planting occurring during the first winter season.
6.0 Summary
In order to mitigate for 1.51 acres of freshwater wetland impacts associated with the Reserve
at St. James Plantation in St. James, NC, the applicant agrees to restore 0.65 acre of wetlands on-site
by removing old fill material (dirt roads). These areas will then be planted with native wetland
vegetation. In addition, the applicant agrees to buy into the EEP for the restoration of 0.86 acre of
non-riparian wetlands within the Lower Cape Fear River watershed. Finally, they will preserve 1275
acres of wetlands and 5700 linear feet of stream on site. These actions will compensate for
jurisdictional wetland impacts within the tract and fulfill the requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and the Division of Water Quality.
