Ok Kim, I see what you're talking about. I agree with your assessment, pond on the west side and wetlands to
the east.

In regards to the cubic yards of fill, it is a requirement under the NWP 18 to tell us the volume of fill going into
an area.

Thanks
John

There is a water control structure on the pond side of the project area, which releases water out of the pipe on
occasion to flood the rice fields located further down gradient. Attached are some pictures of the project area
from June of 2014. During this visit, no water was being released. We don't know how often water is released,
but it is only when the rice fields need additional water. I have also attached the topo, Lidar, and soils map for
the project area. It is not shown as a blue-line on the topo and I don't see a channel feature on the Lidar or soils.

Thanks,

Kim

Morning Kim,

When I was out there for a site visit, there was a ton of water flowing out of the pipe, so I just assumed it was a
stream channel. Is that typical flow out of that pipe? If not, do you have pictures showing otherwise?

Thanks

Hi John

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. I received your comments on Orton and have a couple of questions
for you.

In Comment #1, you request the amount of fill in cubic yards. Would this be just for the Orton Pond side (the
temporary impacts)? LMG considers the other side (with the proposed rip rap) to just be wetlands with no
ordinary high water level.

You mention stream impacts or stream diversion in several of your comments. Do you consider the project area
to be a stream? We considered Orton Pond to be open water and the other side to be wetlands.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Kim

Re: Orton Pond Outlet Structure Replacement, Off Plantation Road, Belville, Brunswick County,
ER 15-2692
Dear Ms. Williams:
Thank you for your email of November 30, 2015, regarding the above -referenced undertaking. We have
reviewed the materials submitted and offer the following comments.
Infrastructure along Plantation Road needs to be replaced in order to efficiently manage the flow of
irrigation to Orton Plantation's rice fields. Plantation Road is identified as the western boundary in the
nomination for the National Register -listed Orton Plantation (BW0005) and its Boundary Increase
(BW0717). However, as work will predominately occur within a previously maintained DOT right-of-way;
the paved road will be repaired and sloped to its original condition; and disturbed ground will be re -seeded
with a grass mixture to restore it to its pre -work condition, the project will not adversely. a� this historic
property.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36
CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579 or
environmental.review(ancdcr.gov. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the
above referenced tracking number.
Sincerely,
Ramona M. Bartos
