The developers of Audubon Villages are committed to the conservation and restoration of natural ecosystems for the benefit of biological diversity in their community and for their homeowners. We would like to offer the following justification document related to our development plan and proposed impacts on jurisdictional wetlands. Backaround The development project consists of a total of 226.88 acres. This is composed of two tracts of land. Tract One (733703209255000) is 205.11 acres having 166 linear feet of roadway frontage on Harker's Island Road (SR 1332) and 401 linear feet of roadway frontage on Crow Hill Road. Tract Two (733703018968000) is 21.77 acres having 1,269 linear feet of roadway frontage on Harker's Island Road. Primary access to the overall development is from Harker's Island Road (intersects directly with Hwy 70 East) with secondary access from Crow Hill Road. There are a total of 11.42 acres of jurisdictional wetlands in the project area. These wetlands are confined to Tract Two. The wetlands do not cover a single contiguous area. The wetlands consist of a 3.75 acre "pocket" generally in the center of the tract and a 7.67 acre "pocket" located along the western edge of the tract. These respective, A and B, wetland areas (WA) were confirmed during a site meeting with Mr. Mickey Sugg of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) on October 4, 2006. Regulatory Comments After discussing the proposed project with and/or receiving comments from the COE, DENR, and WRC; we have modified the proposed project to reduce wetland impacts. The majority of WA B has been avoided and will be placed in preservation. Please refer to Exhibit A (Commercial Site Plans) for details. WA A (3.75 acres) is proposed to be fully impacted. Impacts associated with WA B have been minimized. Of the 7.67 acres of WA, 6.75 acres (82%) are being preserved. Stormwater will be treated for the entire project prior to discharging off-site. Treated stormwater around WA B will be discharged to it, furthering water quality protection of Whitehurst and South Leopard Creeks and Goose Bay. Audubon Villages October 28, 2008 Page 2 of 9 Historical Use The former owner of Tracts One and Two utilized the land for farming and silviculture, respectively. During farming operations, Tracts One was cleared and graded to permit row/field crop production. Tract Two was primarily a mature longleaf pine forest with shrub understory prior to a non-selective method of tree harvesting was conducted in 2004/2005. Soils USGS soils classification at the existing wetlands are Tomotley and Deloss. These soils are defined by the USGS as follows. Tm Tomotley fine sandy loam Setting Landscape: Coastal plains Elevation: 0 to 20 feet Mean annual precipitation: 42 to 58 inches Mean annual air temperature: 61 to 64 degrees F Frost-free period: 190 to 270 days Composition Tomotley, drained, and similar soils: 80 percent of total site; Tomotley, undrained, and similar soils: 10 percent of total site.

Hand auger tests of existing wetlands indicate the following profile. 0 to 18 inches: topsoil 18 to 36 inches: gray and light gray sandy clay 36 to 48 inches: light gray clayey fine sand 48-72 inches: light gray and brown silty fine sand Seasonal high water was determined at 2 feet with groundwater at 3.5 feet. Soil permeability tests indicate an infiltration rate of .04 in/hr. See the attached excerpts from the Geotechnical Engineering Report and EDA calculations. Topography and Hydrology The topography of Tract Two is relatively flat (.1-.2%). The average elevation change is 1.0 foot. The tract drains from east to west with runoff from uplands and wetlands entering an agricultural drainage ditch along the eastern boundary of Tract One. Water Audubon Villages October 28, 2008 Page 4 of 9 entering this ditch is conveyed north to a larger ditch on Tract One. This ditch drains to the west and outfalls near Crow Hill Road. The topography of the site limits on-site water supply to the wetlands. 5.34 acres of land area contribute to the 2.61 acre wetland and 11.83 acres contribute to the 6.81 acre wetland. The limited size of these contributing areas will make it difficult to provide a consistent water supply to maintain optimal wetland conditions and benefit the performance of this wetland area. Vegetation Tract One entirely consists of cultivated crops. Recent plantings include corn and soybeans. The uplands within Tract Two support the following: Common name Species Stratum WI status Red maple Acer rubrum Shrub FACW Sweetgum Liquidambar styraciflua S FAC+ American holly Ilex opaca S FAC- Milkwort Polygala lutea S FACW+ Pokeberry Phytolacca americana S FACU+ Smooth sumac Rhus glabra S UPL Blackberry Rubus trivialis S FAC Dog fennel Eupatorium capillifolium Herb FACW+ Joe pye weed Eupatorium dubium H FACU The wetland areas within Tract Two support the followin : Common name Species Stratum WI status Red bay Persea borbonia Tree FACW Red maple Acer rubrum Shrub FACW Sweetgum Liquidambar styraciflua S FAC+ American holly Ilex opaca S FAC- Milkwort Polygala lutea S FACW+ Wax myrtle Myrica cerifera S FAC+ Sedge Carex spp. Herb FAC-OBL Rush Juncus spp. H FAC-OBL Greenbriar Smilax laurifolia Vine FACW+ Land Use Land use in the surrounding area consists of residential homes, agriculture, silviculture, open water (Goose Bay), small businesses, and churches. The adjacent residential areas are primarily single-family homes. There is an adjacent mobile home park to the northwest that was constructed after 1994. Audubon Villages October 28, 2008 Page 5 of 9 Historic Properties KE personnel conducted a review of historic aerials of the subject site in January 2008 (see attached). Prior to this review, we also inquired the previous land owner of several decades, Mr. Jeffrey Taylor, about potential structures. According to both accounts, there have not been any structures on the subject site. Endangered Species A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program database was conducted to determine whether any state or federally listed rare species have previously been observed within or near the project area. This search found no known record of rare species within the project site. There are two (2) known Federally-listed endangered and threatened species know to occur in the "Harkers Island" USGS Quad area, excluding coastal and marine species. They are seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus) - threatened; and shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum)- endangered. Habitat for these two species is absent on the subject site. Pursuant to the Endangered Species of 1973, the proposed project should not have any effect on federally listed endangered or threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat. Purpose and Need The applicant's purpose and need is to develop an economically viable residential and commercial development. The target population of this development is people employed in the neighboring communities of Beaufort, Morehead City, and Harkers Island, people retiring to this area and members of the armed forces. At full build-out the development will be home to 1,200 to 1,600 residents. These residents need access to food, fuel, banking and professional services. The commercial development will provide vital services to these new residents. Additionally, the commercial component will bring services closer to the communities of Straits, Gloucester and Marshallberg and the 1,500+ residents of Harker's Island who currently travel ten to fifteen miles to Beaufort and Morehead City. Site Plan The proposed site plan for Tract Two consists of a roadway and neighborhood commercial development. The proposed design will impact 5.47 acres or 58% of existing jurisdictional wetlands. See attached drawings. EDA conducted in-house studies for avoidance, minimization and mitigation to develop an appropriate design solution for Tract Two. Their studies were influenced by the following factors: Conformity to local code/ordinance, financial viability, soil and hydrologic characteristics, traffic circulation and compatibility with adjacent land owners. Audubon Villages October 28, 2008 Page 6 of 9 Avoidance EDA evaluated two avoidance scenarios related to the proposed site plan. The first scenario looked at alternate locations for the entire 226 acre development. The second scenario evaluated alternate locations of the neighborhood commercial component within the 226 acre site. For Scenario One EDA conducted an MLS and Loopnet search of available land within Carteret County. See attached. Of the 10 available properties within the search area only two properties were of comparable size to the subject property. The Cedar island property (270 acres) was determined to be too distant from the market area to be financially viable. The Hwy 101 I.C.W property (270 acres) is within reasonable proximity to the subject property and target market. At $50 million, however, the cost of land acquisition would dictate higher unit sale prices; pricing the development beyond the target market. Further, both properties are waterfront properties. The proximity to waters and likely greater acreage of wetlands would increase Federal/State/County compliance requirements and would result in either a lower net developable area or increased development costs or both. For Scenario Two EDA evaluated alternate sites within the 226 acre property. After careful evaluation the proposed site was found to be most suitable for the following reasons: Economy: The neighborhood commercial component is intended to serve the proposed residential development and the needs of existing residents and tourists in the area. Currently, the area is underserved by commercial development with the closest services 10-15 miles away. Generally, retail and service businesses perform better when part of a larger commercial development rather than as individual "stand alone" stores. This is due to the greater visibility of stores and the cross-over effect of consumers from one store visiting another store within the same development. An anchor store alone does not generate enough lease revenue to the developer to justify the expense of development. Likewise, individual stores alone and out-parcels are likely to fail without the presence of an anchor to draw in consumers. Failed businesses generate zero lease revenue for the developer. The resulting empty stores can become a blight to the community which negatively impact property values. To best attract long-term commercial tenants the commercial component must have a mix of an anchor store and smaller stores and out parcels. The anchor draws in other tenants to the smaller storefronts and outparcels. These smaller businesses and sale/lease of outparcels make the development financially viable. Key to drawing the anchor is development size and location. The development must be of sufficient size to support the anchor's operations and it must be located where the store(s) will have the highest visibility to the most consumers. Based on these criteria Audubon Villages October 28, 2008 Page 7 of 9 the location along Harker's Island Road is most desirable as the property is large enough to support an anchor and a sufficient number of other tenants to make the development viable. Further, the large roadway frontage provides desirable visibility to those traveling on Harker's Island Road to or from Highway 70. The access road location was also influenced by economics. Placement of the access road north of the Parker property would have reduced the developable area and value of the Tract north of the Parker property. Traffic: The development is bordered by two existing State roads, Harker's Island Road (SR 1332) and Crow Hill Road (SR 1333). A road (Open Water Parkway) will be built to provide access to the residential development. This road will intersect Harker's Island Road and Crow Hill Road. Harker's Island Road is the primary thoroughfare between Harker's Island and Highway 70 East. Locating the commercial development along Harker's Island Road will preserve traffic on the primary roadway rather than draw a large number of vehicles through the residential development along Open Water Parkway or divert a larger number of vehicles onto the less traveled Crow Hill Road. Compatibility with Adjacent Land Owners: The selected location was determined to have the least impact on adjacent properties with respect to traffic, noise and views. Traffic would be preserved on the existing primary thoroughfare. Subdivision traffic would be able to access the commercial area without entering onto Harker's Island Road. Noise and views would be would be attenuated by a required 30' perimeter development buffer and proposed wetland, park and open space west of the development. Soils/Hydrology: Waters generally drain from east to west on the 226 acre site. Location of the commercial development at the western edge of the property places the development at the highest point of the property farthest away from the drainage discharge point. This allows for a longer train of storm water treatment for optimal compliance with Federal/State/County guidelines. Environment: Creating a single larger commercial development will minimize the cumulative impacts of multiple smaller commercial developments by reducing the pressure/potential of multiple small commercial developments on previously undeveloped lands and wetlands in the vicinity. According to the NWI Map, there is an abundance of jurisdictional streams and wetlands in the project area. There is a high probability that location of these out-parcels off the site would lead to additional cumulative impacts of these jurisdictional areas. The single larger commercial development also reduces the vehicle miles driven by residents in the area thereby reduces vehicle emissions into the air and oil, metal and sediment deposits onto roadways. Audubon Villages October 28, 2008 Page 8 of 9 Minimization The proposed site plan was developed to minimize impacts on existing wetlands to the maximum extent possible while meeting financial objectives of the owner and the requirements of local ordinance. Please refer to Exhibit A (Commercial Site Plans) for details. Financial Objectives: Provide suitable plan to allow for anchor tenant (grocery) and associated tenants. Provide suitable out parcels for other service needs in area (bank, gas, restaurant, medical). At full build-out the commercial component could yield $300 per square foot of building or $27 million. The property tax value to the County on $27 million in assessed value could yield $7,700 annually.

Secondary impacts to wetlands and water quality could occur during and after construction of the project through erosion and stormwater runoff. These potential impacts will be minimized by the development and implementation of a stormwater plan and a sedimentation and erosion control plan. These plans will reduce the potential for erosion into wetlands and other water bodies located off site. Mitigation As mentioned previously, wetland mitigation will be required for the proposed impacts. Mitigation for the proposed impacts of 4.67 acres will be required. To mitigate for the proposed wetland impacts, all remaining wetlands will be preserved to ensure no additional impacts beyond what is being requested here. Because the project's Audubon Villages October 28, 2008 Page 9 of 9 cumulative impacts are greater than 1 acre, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) will be requesting restoration and therefore, payment to the NC-EEP in-lieu fee fund is proposed (see attached EEP acceptance letter). Determination of the mitigation rate is pending. The NCEEP has preliminarily agreed to accept payment for and provide any additional required wetland mitigation, for up to 5.47 acres. Furthermore, over 23-acres of landscaped ponds will provide multi-function benefits such as stormwater retention and treatment, recreation, and natural aesthetics. Conclusion This proposed site plan and mitigation measures have been produced in accordance with COE principals (avoidance, minimization and mitigation). We believe the proposed development and mitigation measures provide the best balance of the core principals. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The site is located approximately 1.75 miles south of the intersection of US Route 70 and Harkers Island Road at Latitude 34°44'32"N Longitude 76°33'31"W. The proposed community will be constructed in several phases. The first phase will include the primary spine road connecting Harker's Island Road to Crow Hill Road, all single family units and lakes north of the primary spine road, the community clubhouse and recreation facilities, and all required BMP treatment facilities to serve the first phase development. Phase 2 will include the utilities facilities. This phase will begin prior to completion of Phase 1 due to the necessity of utility availability for the Phase 1 development. Phase 3 will include all single family units and lakes on the south side of the primary spine road along with all required BMP treatment areas. Phases four through seven are designated as future construction. These areas have been conceptually designed with maximum impervious areas attributed to them. Although water quality calculations have been included in this permit application, further division of these areas will be necessary to provide infiltration BMP devices that treat a maximum of 2 ac-in volume. As these areas have not been fully designed, addendums to this permit will be submitted at later dates with the detail required for construction. Existing Site Characteristics The existing site is a predominantly cleared farm land with a small pocket of wetlands totaling approximately 11.42 acres. 4.67 acres of wetlands will be impacted by the proposed development and is been permitted through the Division of Water Quality and US Army Corps of Engineers. The site is relatively level with runoff being collected in existing manmade ditches running throughout the site. These ditches carry the runoff to roadside ditches along Crow Hill Road and Harker's Island Road. The Crow Hill Road ditches lead to culverts and additional ditches until outfalling to South Leopard Creek (classification SA;HQW, index 21-35-1-7-3 in the White Oak Basin. The Harker's Island Road ditches lead also to culverts and ditches until outfalling to Whitehurst Creek (classification SA;HQW, index 21-35-1-12-2 in the White Oak Basin. Offsite flow is intercepted by ditches along the perimeter of the site and is directed to the aforementioned roadside ditches. According to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps the site lies within the Floodplain Zones AE(6), AE(7), and AE(8). \\DlOnglbI\my documents on dell desktop\PRO]ECT FOLDERS\Audubon Villages 2008\Submittal folder October 2008\Audubon Sto-ater Narrative.doc Page I of 2 r? Proposed Site Drainage Characteristics The site has been divided into over 50 drainage areas due to the requirement of infiltration BMP devices treating a maximum volume of 2 ac-in. The overall concept of the proposed drainage is to collect runoff from within each respective drainage area by way of sheet flow, where ever possible, into infiltration basins sized to treat the required first 1.5 inches of runoff with excess runoff flowing through a control structure designed with the overflow elevation equal to the required treatment storage elevation and then conveyed to either onsite lakes or grassed swales leading to the roadside ditches along either Crow Hill Road or Harker's Island Road. For drainage areas that can not convey water to the BMP by sheet flow, the runoff will be collected in catch basins and conveyed through pipes. The pipes will connect to splitter box structures designed to let water into the infiltration basin by way of a circular orifice and distribution channels. A baffle has been designed in the splitter boxes to divert excess flow away from the BMP and convey to onsite lakes or swales until ultimately reaching the roadside ditches. Although the system will utilize the infiltration systems as the only credited BMP, we would like to point out that there will be a residual effect of conveying the excess flow to the onsite lakes and grassed swales in a low flow manner that will provide for not just additional treatment but also attenuation during more extreme rainfall events. BMP Devices The proposed drainage system incorporates Infiltration Basins as the BMP devices for treatment credit. The Basins are designed to infiltrate the required treatment volume within 5 days. Each BMP device will handle less than the maximum 2 ac-in of runoff. The soils in the bottom of each infiltration will need to meet and infiltration rate of 0.52 inches per hour. Based on the geotechnical report there are several basins that meet that requirement and several that do not. We request permission to replace soils as necessary in accordance with NCDENR Water Quality rules to meet the minimum infiltration rate. The attached water management/water quality calculations take into account the actual infiltration rate if it meets or exceeds the minimum requirement and replaces the actual rate with a minimum rate of 0.52 in/hr where soils will require replacement. Erosion Control Devices Several erosion control devices are used through out the site. A gravel construction entrance is located at three different entrances to the site for construction vehicles entering and leaving the site. Silt Fence is located along the limits of disturbance. Silt Fence is also located along wetland areas and undisturbed site areas. Straw blankets will be used on all slopes of 3:1 or steeper. Inlets shall be protected and paved areas will be swept regularly. Upon completion of construction the temporary erosion control devices will be removed. \\DfUnglb I\my documents- on dell desktop\PROJECT FOLDERS\Audubon Villages 2008\Submiual folder October 2008\Audubon Storrnwater Narrative.doc Page 2 of 2 Audubon Villages Phasing Narrative Construction Phasing of the Audubon Villages Project will be done in accordance with the provisions of the NCDENR Division of Land Quality Erosion Control permit in an attempt to maintain a maximum disturbed area of 20 acres. To achieve this, the sequence of construction will be to begin by constructing the most downstream storm water infrastructure and excavate proposed lakes. Construction will continue in other development areas north of the primary boulevard cutting through the site with infiltration basins and lakes being used as temporary sediment control. Temporary ditching may be necessary to maintain positive drainage to sediment control areas during construction. Construction shall move into new areas only when previously disturbed areas have been stabilized. \\Df0nglbl\my documents on dell desktop\PROJECT FOLDERS\Audubon Villages 2008\Submittal folder October 2008\Audubon Phasing Narra ive.doc Page I of I APPENDIX A - Site Plans uauua?d o ¢iaau?8ud o ¢Jaa114aiV +na o o T- NV-ld EWS ed _ IZIH M02I0 ww' -616 w :I!vwa 1Vioa:lwwoo `?•?.1??

(Terracon) has performed soil sampling and soils laboratory testing services for the proposed Audubon Villages Subdivision in Beaufort, North Carolina. This report summarizes our understanding of project information, scope of services performed, findings and the results of our soils laboratory testing. PROJECT INFORMATION Project information was obtained from our conversations with Mr. Vincent Antrilli and Mr. Gavin Davis of EDA, PA and our review of development site plans provided by EDA, PA. We understand that a new subdivision will be constructed on Harkers Island Road, near Beaufort, North Carolina. As part of the water BMP (Best Management Practices) design process, Terracon has been asked to provide a field exploration for the purpose of determining depth to water table, providing a visual soil classification and securing soil samples for flex wall permeability testing at each locations indicated on the drawing provided. Terracon has been also asked to perform five soil test borings within the proposed lakes and wetlands. SCOPE OF WORK In order to perform the work, Terracon performed the following tasks: • Drill 5 soil test borings, each to a depth of 15 feet below existing grades, within the proposed lake and wetland locations. • Advance hand auger borings at locations shown on the drawing provided. Soil samples for flex wall permeability testing were obtained from an elevation above the saturated zone near the water table. Irerracon Consulting Engineers & Scientists Delivering Success for Clients and Employees Since 1965 More Than 95 Offices Nationwide Audubon Villages January 9, 2008 Beaufort, NC Terracon Project No. 72075094 • Performed permeability testing on the samples obtained using the ASTM D5084 test method. • Issued this written report summarizing our findings and the results of the laboratory testing. FINDINGS Hand Auger Borings and Permeability Testing Boring locations and sample depths were selected by the client. Terracon personnel were on site to perform forty-four hand auger borings and to visually classify the soils in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. Hand auger borings HA- 20, HA-21, HA -38 and HA-40 were omitted due to being in the same locations with the lake soil test borings. The borings generally encountered approximately 6 to 12 inches of grass and topsoil at the ground surface. Below the topsoil, the borings generally encountered silty sand, clayey sand and sandy clay. The soils became more clayey towards the southern and western portions of the site. Groundwater was measured at 3 to 5 feet below the existing grades for most portions of the site. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 2 feet below the existing grades within the southern and western portions of the site. The hand auger locations and generalized soil conditions at each boring location were given in the Appendix. Soil samples near the current ground water table elevation were also obtained from each hand auger boring location and returned to the laboratory for permeability testing. The flex wall permeability testing were performed in general accordance with ASTM Standard D 5084. A permeability sample was not obtained from auger boring HA-42 due to the groundwater and the sandy soil conditions. The testing results are summarized in the Appendix. Based on our field exploration results, most of borings encountered clayey sand and sandy clay in the top 3 feet of the subsurface profile. The on-site soils became more clayey towards the southern and western portions of the site. The soils within those portions of the site should not be used as structural fill material within the building and pavement areas due to their high clay content. However, these soils may be used in areas to be landscaped. Soil Testing Borings Boring locations and sample depths were also selected by the client. The soil test borings were drilled with an ATV-mounted rotary drill rig using hollow stem auger drilling procedures to advance the borehole. Representative samples were obtained using split-barrel sampling procedures. In the split-barrel sampling procedure, a standard 2-inch O.D. split-barrel sampling spoon is driven into the ground with a 140-pound Audubon Villages January 9, 2008 Beaufort, NC Terracon Project No. 72075094 automatic hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of an 18-inch penetration is recorded as the standard penetration resistance value (N-value) and was performed in the soil test borings at 2.5 and 5-foot intervals. These values are indicated on the boring logs at the depths of occurrence. A greater efficiency is achieved with the automatic hammer, compared to a conventional safety hammer operated by a cathead and rope. The effect of the increased efficiency was considered in interpreting the standard penetration resistance values. In general, N-values obtained by an automatic hammer should be multiplied by a factor of 1.3 to compare with N-values obtained through a conventional safety hammer. The values shown on the boring logs reflect the automatic hammer values and have not been modified to compare with conventional safety hammer values. Terracon personnel visually classified the split-spoon soil samples, in general accordance with the United Soil Classification System, and prepared boring logs describing the soil type and N-values for each soil sample obtained. Boring logs are included in the Appendix of this report. The borings generally encountered approximately 6 inches of grass and topsoil at the ground surface. Below the surface topsoil, the borings generally encountered very loose to loose clayey sand to a depth 3 to 5 feet below the existing grades. Boring B-5 (within the vicinity of the wetland) encountered a layer of very soft sandy clay in the upper 3 feet. Then the borings generally encountered loose to medium dense sand with varying proportions of silt and clay to the boring termination depth of 15 feet. More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered at each boring location are provided on the boring logs in the Appendix. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project. If you have any questions, please contact us at (252) 353-1600.

Corps Aefton ID # 2008-01521 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) reviewed the public notice with regard to impacts of the project on fish and wildlife resources. The 226.88-acre project site is lac ted in the Straits Community and. is bordered to the west by Crow Hill Road (SR 1333) to the north by close flay Lane and is approximately 0.2 mile north of'the intersection with. Straits Road (SR 1.335)Tl?e tract is within the headwaters of a tributary to Whitehurst Crecy on the east side and South Leopard Creek on the west. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife ?,'txordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 161.1.S.C. 661 et. seq.) and the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as Ar4ended). 11k applicant proposes to develop the site into a, mixed residential area and commercial shopping; center. 4 residential. area will be developed on Tract 1 (205.11-acres) and the commercial center on 'Tract 2 (21:77-acres). The request includes fill of approximately 5.47-acres of jurisdictional wetlands on Tract 2 to thoilitate the construction of the buildings and parking lot. The applicant is proposing to conipensatq for the wetland impacts by preserving, the remaining 3.95•-acres of wetlands on the property and rnak i, lrayment to the NC Ecosystern F. nhancement Program at a 1:1 mitigation ration for 5.45-acres.

The proposed impacts are concentrated on Tract 2, the commercial developee gt portion of the parcel. At this time, no construction. has occurred on either Tract, therefore design tn?)difications may be done to minimize wetland impacts through changes within Tract 2 alone or by incorl otating sonic; area of Tract 1 into Tract 2.

'The project site and proposed wetland fill is withsn Mie headwater systems of Whitehurst Creek and. South Leopard Creek. These two systems are classif ,ed as high quality waters and are designated PNAs. Nursery areas are those areas in. which. for reasons su6N as food, cover, bottom type, salinity, temperature, and. other factors, young fi:nf zsh and crustacea:n,? spend the major portion of their initial growing season. Primary nursery areas are those areas in the est4rine system where initial pos0arval development takes place. These are areas where populations are uniformly early juveniles. Therefore, preservation and protection of these areas and their watersheds are very important to fishery resources. Wetlands provide vital buffers to these areas, even thought thtry' have been recently logged. Therefore, we feel the design of this project should be reevaluated. to significantly reduce wetland impacts and overall m1ni.mize impacts to Whitehurst Creek. and Soutfl l.?opard Creek from this development. i Wi ppreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this public notice and look for-ward to future correspondence to discuss project changes.

As disclosed in their letter, the NC WRC recommended that forth' , avoidance, minimization, and mitigation be reevaluated prior to any DA authorizati6n. It is their position that the project can be redesigned to avoid and minimize impacts tb Wetlands; and that the proposed mitigation ratio is inadequate due to the high. quality of receiv 4 waters of W.hitellUr•st Creek and South Leopard Creek, which are designated Primary NmArsery Areas. It is the policy of the DA. to provide an applicant the opportunity to furnish a proposed. r•esolutiom. br rebuttal to all objections from government agencies and. the public before a final decision is made on a proposed project.
