Mr. Winston,
Please see my responses in red:

1. The Division requires that projects avoid and minimize impacts to streams where prac Ɵcable. Thank you for
providing an explanaƟon of measures taken to reduce impacts to the southern perennial stream. Please provide
an explanaƟon of why impacts to the intermiƩent stream (impact S2 in the PCN) cannot be avoided or
minimized through project design. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)] The intermiƩent stream (Impact S2) cannot be
avoided due to the lack of space within the parcel’s acreage. AddiƟonally, to preserve the maximum streambed
acreage of all perennial streams (parƟcularly stream SA), the building and parking lot were adjusted to the
northern side of the parcel, in turn sacrificing a porƟon of the intermiƩent stream.
2. Please clarify whether the Army Corps of Engineers has approved the delinea Ɵon of surface water features
provided with the PCN, including whether the Corps agrees with the jurisdic Ɵonal status of features, so that the
Division can fully evaluate all proposed impacts. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(a)(9)] The PCN applicaƟon includes the
approved jurisdicƟonal determinaƟon (AJD) request directed towards the USACE. Buncombe county’s USACE
representaƟve, Mitchell Anderson, is aware and noƟfied of the request. The AJD applicaƟon is currently pending
along with the naƟonwide permit, and 401 cerƟficaƟon.

3. Please clarify the spelling of the applicant’s contact’s last name and email: Kris Ɵ Nezanski or Neznanski,
[e-mail] or [e-mail]. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(3)] The applicant
contact is [e-mail]
