At this time I offer these informal comments. I will work on providing formal comments for both projects in the near future. In the meantime, please forward any updated/new information/documentation, that may reduce the number of formal comments I send out. will also be reviewing the document with Karen to see if she believes we need any additional information for the EMC review, I'll let you know as soon possible. • There are discrepancies between the narrative document and the plan sheets for the buffers. For example, site 3 is listed as "allowable with mitigation" in the narrative but "allowable" in the plan sheets. Please double check all plan sheets against the narrative and correct as necessary. • For Site #4, please identify impacts associated with the road crossing of the stream separately from parallel impacts that occur as a result of the turn that the stream channel takes. Please call these out separately in both the narrative and the plan sheet. • For Site #5, the narrative notes that this impact is less than 1/3 acre however the impact table indicates that 23,002 square feet will be impacted which is greater than 1/3 acre.

From: Homewood, Sue Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2018 9:51 AM To: 'phi 1.may@carolinaeco.com' <phi1.may@carolinaeco.com> Subject: Triangle Tyre Phil, I've reviewed the IP application for Triangle Tyre. At this time I offer these "informal" comments. Once I review the variance application I'll send you comments on that as well. • As we discussed by phone yesterday, the amounts shown on the impact drawings do not match up with the amounts listed in the table of impacts in the cover letter. • Before we can issue a certification we will need: detailed design drawings/impact drawings; a detailed stormwater plan for the roadway; a dewatering plan for the ponds. • Have you received a buffer determination letter from RRO yet? • Could you provide the NCWAM form for the isolated wetland, we need the wetland type to be clearly identified (maybe add to the cover letter/impact table, or impact drawing) • One of the streams is listed as a "tributary' rather than an intermittent or perennial stream. Can you clarify this please • I have concerns about the statement (in multiple places of the cover letter) about the road alignment that indicates further avoidance/minimization would encroach upon uplands which may cause future impacts from future development. This is speculative and I don't think it is beneficial to the A&M discussion of the road alignment. I would suggest removing these statements or it may be possible to instead state that encroachment into the uplands would limit the marketability/use of Pad C and cause a financial/growth/jobs burden to the County. Also, after speaking with Karen again, I gave you incorrect information about how to handle the buffer impacts. All the buffer impacts except those that specifically require a variance should have been included in the IP application as a buffer authorization request. The variance will cover only the impacts that trigger the variance. I'm certain I can review everything I need in one or the other application so there's nothing that needs to be done at this point in time but I may need you to tweak some of the documents/impact drawings as you submit new/additional information in the future.
