Subject Property: Audubon Village
Dear Mr. Walker:
On behalf of the NC DWQ 410/Wetlands Permitting Unit, we again respectfully request that you consider the
following comments within your review of the 404 Individual Permit request for the above referenced property:
1. We again request the applicant provide a more robust alternatives analysis.
Please provide a more robust avoidance and minimization narrative. This Office continues to support
the NC WRC position that the proposed impacts to 404/wetlands and direct and indirect impacts to
high quality waters and designated PNAs must be further avoided or minimized to the greatest extent
practicable. Specifically, the proposed commercial/grocery store could be moved south to the location
of the recreation field and boat parking to avoid the majority of the proposed 3.75 acre 404/Wetland
Impact No. 1.
Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, please contact Ian McMillan or me in our Central Office
in Raleigh at [phone].
