Dear Ms. Karoly:

DEW • WATERWAUTY
WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
Thank you for your letter of September 24, 2008, commenting on the application of Mr.
Midyette for Department of the Army (DA) authorization and a State Water Quality Certification
too permanently impact approximately 0.322 acre of jurisdictional bottomland hardwood forested
wetlands, and 2,165 linear feet of perennial stream channel. The impacts listed above are
associated with the construction of a dam and subsequent stream flooding to construct a lake, and
one road crossing on Mr. Midyette's 400 acre private cattle farm, in Franklin County, North
Carolina. The site contains unnamed stream channels and adjacent wetlands which drain to
Cedar Creek, a tributary in the Tar-Pamlico Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03020101).
We appreciate your interest and concern and assure you that your comments will be
carefully considered. If you have additional comments or questions, please do not hesitate to
contact Mr. James Lastinger, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone] ext 32.
Sincerely,
Jean B. Manuele
Chief, Raleigh Regulatory
Field Office
