Dear Mr. Shallcross:

By copy of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources letter to
you dated March 6, 2006 (enclosed), we have learned that State authorization for you to place fill
material into 2.44 acres of wetlands located on Lots 18 and 19 of Partners Equity Group
Subdivision, has been denied. Under the administrative rules of our regulatory program, denial
of required state authorization precludes favorable consideration of a Federal permit.
Accordingly, your Department of the Army (DA) permit application is hereby denied, without
prejudice, and your file has been retired.
If you wish to continue to pursue a DA permit, you must first obtain the required state
authorization. In the event you obtain the authorization, we will reopen your permit file, and
continue to process your application. After the file is reopened, any issues raised during the
public review process will have to be addressed before a permit can be issued.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Todd Tugwell
with my Raleigh Field Office staff at telephone [phone], extension 26.
Sincerely,
(::: 9• /1 Z"t ? ? ? n
