Ms. Turner,
The Division of Water Resources will require further demonstration of avoidance and minimization or additional
information justifying the purpose and need. I will be issuing a formal hold letter by the end of the week.
Thanks,

Ok thanks,
If they can re -design the parking lot and building and keep the impact under .10 acre they may not have to buy credits
from the mitigation bank.
Thanks again,
Gary

Gary,
Thank you for the quick response. We will provide additional information on possible minimization and avoidance. With
respect to the wetland bank I have been in contact with them and they have indicated there are credits available for
purchase (please see the attached email).
Thank you,

Subject: Kia -Mazda of New Bern Fill request
Ms. Turner,
I've reviewed the Kia -Mazda of New Bern PCN that was submitted to this office on May 9, 2017.
The NWP 39 request is for .39 acres of fill. The avoidance and minimization document that you submitted only mentions
the reason why the existing Kia and Mazda buildings and parking lots are going to be expanded. It doesn't mention how
the wetland impact has been avoided or minimized. Can the proposed building and parking lot(s) be re -designed to
allow for a smaller wetland impact? Can additional neighboring "upland" land be purchased that would also minimize
the wetland impact?
In the PCN you mentioned that 0.4 acres of wetlands will be purchased from "Brices Creek Mitigation Bank". Have you
contacted the mitigation bank to ensure that they have the 0.4 credits available for purchase? Can you also send me any
documentation or transcripts that you have with Brices Creek Mitigation Bank on this project.
Respectfully,
Gary
