Dear Ms. Frye,
Enclosed please find the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) that has been prepared for
the above referenced property, located on the eastern side of Burney Road, White Oak, Bladen
County, North Carolina. In the interest of expediency, I have enclosed a drawing of site with the
preservation areas depicted as we discussed during our site visit on May 8, 2008. I understand
that issuance of a permit (NWP 14 - WQC 3704) will be contingent on the recording of a plat
depicting the preservation areas and/ or a legal description of the preservation area provided by
the surveyor. This plat will also include the appropriate language to ensure preservation of these
areas in perpetuity.
I have spoken with the surveyor, Mr. Bordeaux and he stated that he has two more points
to locate and has begun work on the final drawing. Mr. Bullock has begun work on the road
stabilization and will finish that before beginning the restoration of the smaller (1,600 ft2) area.
I trust that this provides all the information that you require to authorize the proposed impacts.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at your
convenience.
Sin ly,
Chris Leach

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
qpplicant is pursuing an After-the-Fact permit for a road constructed across Philips Creek.
The road when finished will be approximately 30' wide, 465' long and will require the
placement of a culvert within the run of Phillips Creek. Equipment used will be a backhoe.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The applicant requires a road to access his
property located on the western side of Phillips Creek. According to Dr. Goss, a dam placed
across the stream by his (downstream) neighbor has created wetter conditions that prevent
him from reaching the western portion of his property.

and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future reauests are anticipated.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 7 of 0
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: A road is needed to access the
property of the western side of Phillips Creek. The finished road would impact approximately 30
feet of Phillips Creek _and13 13,950 ft` (0.32 acre) of associated wetlands. The road is constructed
from earthen fill removed from adjacent upland areas. There is one 60" diameter culvert
centrally located in the road within the run of Phillips creek and one overflow pipe placed
qpproximately one foot above grade in the western end of the road. An additional overflow pipe
will be similarly placed on the eastern end of the road. The finished road will be 30' wide at the
base and 12' wide at the top with side slopes not to exceed 2:1. The slopes will be stabilized with
a combination of native vegetation and matting.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant, Dr. Goss has used his neighbor's road in the past to access the western portion
of his property. This access has been denied and according to Dr. Goss a dam placed across
Phillip's Creek by this neighbor has made it impossible to cross to the western side of his
property without the addition of a road. To minimize the impacts to the stream and associated
wetlands, the road was located at the narrowest point between two upland areas. Dirt used for the
construction of the road was excavated from these upland areas to avoid further impacts to the
wetlands associated with Phillip's Creek. The road width was minimized to the extent allowable
for structural integrity. The 0.02 acre impact will be restored by returning the area to original
grade and reseeding with native wetland vegetation.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 10 of 13
For mitigation we propose on site preservation of the floodplain wetland associated with
Phillips Creek. Total preservation area proposed is approximately 15.5 acres with
preservation accomplished through deed restrictions.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://www.nceep.net/pages/inlieureplace.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed,
