Hi Ian
As we discussed, it was discovered after the 401 wac was issued that the NCCAR project was actually located
within the Roanoke Watershed (HUC 03010107). Attached is the revised EEP acceptance letter. Can you
please revise the 401 to reflect this? Also, the Corps is calling all of the jurisdictional wetlands riparian (2.94
acres). The isolated wetlands (0.47 ac) are non-riparian. Since EEP has credits available for both 404 and
isolated wetlands, can the payment ratio be reduced to 1: 1?

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much for your help

Kim

We'll need something in writing specifying the mitigation is in Roanoke since the DWa required mitigation.
Thanks.

Yes, the Corps determined the site was actually in the Roanoke 07 after the 401 wac had been issued. So a
revised EEP acceptance letter was obtained

lan- do you see this as a problem if the applicant buys credits from the Roanoke? Would we need to obtain a
modification?

Thanks,
Kim

RE: problem with DWQ permit 07-1579

There is a problem with the 401 permit. It specifies the mitigation in Chowan 03 and 04. I thought we confirmed
that this project is located in Roanoke 07.
