Dear Mr. Moran,
By public notice of December 6, 2012, we announced your application for a Department
of the Army (DA) permit to authorize permanent discharge of fill impacts to 316 linear feet of
jurisdictional stream channels and 4.089 acres of jurisdictional forested wetlands adjacent to
Buffalo Creek, associated with the proposed expansion of your existing warehouse and
manufacturing facilities located off of 916 Baltimore Road, west of Advance, in Davie County,
North Carolina.
After review of your proposal, adjacent property owners to your existing warehouse and
manufacturing facilities in Davie County submitted comments and recommendations by letters
dated and received during the public notice period. A copy of each of these letters is enclosed for
your consideration and response. The comments and recommendations of each of the letters are
similar. Therefore, we are sending them to you as single attachment for your review and
combined response to these similar concerns. Specifically you should address in your written
response the following concerns:
1. concerns pertaining to stormwater runoff
2. concerns pertaining to water quality of surface and subsurface waters
3. concerns pertaining to potential noise and light impact to area
Your response to these comments and recommendations should be provided to the
Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, in writing, no later than February 11, 2013, so we can continue
the timely processing of your application. You should contact Mr. John Thomas at 919-554-
4884 extension 25 if you have any questions regarding this process.
Sincerely,
