RE: Corps Action ID # 200620210
Dear Sir:
I was appalled to learn that something like this could happen in the year 2006. How
could a company with the environmental impact potential of this company not know
that you must obtain permits before this type of work commences. Now the damage,
or at least part of the damage, is done. Can this environmental and wildlife damage
be corrected?
Is a company that does this type of thing to be trusted running an operation, with
potentially high magnitude environmental/wildlife impact, right on the banks of Tar
River? What other environmental violations have been covered up at this site? Is
this why they are so intent on not letting the public see what is going on behind those
barbed wire guarded fences?
I think this company needs to learn a lesson, a lesson that will hopefully keep this
type of damage/violation from happening again. I'm not familiar with all of the
aspects of the Clean Water Act but after reading this notice I have to wonder if the
proper regulatory agency has conducted an inspection of this site since it began
operation. After this incident 1 think that inspections siiould occur on a regular
basis. If this company is willing to destroy wetlands without even so much as second
thought, what is being discharged into Tar River and what "modifications" are
being made to the natural course of the river? What damage to the natural wildlife
is being perpetrated behind those guarded perimeters? Are there other
environmental laws that are being violated other than the Clean Water Act?
I recommend that a temporary denial of the application is made, a substantial fine
be levied and that the details of the violation and fine be published in the local
newspaper. This would help local citizens to pay more attention to what is going on
at the site. After correcting the damage already done, the company would have the
option of submitting a new permit after a period of 1 year. Public notice of any
further "development" initiated at this site should be made available to the general
public via local and state news media. And lastly, a review of other pertinent
environmental regulations needs to be conducted at the site to determine if other
violations are occurring. It is obvious that this company is not going to do this
review on their own, so a third party needs to conduct this review/audit.

FROM: Shari L. Bryant, Pied ont Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: 27 April 2006
SUBJECT: Public Notice for Carolina Sunrock LLC for Construction of Railroad Siding and
Stockpile Area (After-the-Fact), Vance County, North Carolina. Action ID No.
200620210
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
subject document and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131
et seq.).
Carolina Sunrock has cleared and filled 1.66 acres of wetland in the floodplain of an unnamed
tributary to Tar River. The filled wetland was likely an herbaceous scrub-shrub wetland that was
formerly a beaver pond that had been drained. Carolina Sunrock has removed the unauthorized fill from a
0.17 acre area within the 50-foot buffer of the tributary; the remaining filled wetland area is 1.49 acres.
Carolina Sunrock proposes to construct approximately one mile of new rail spur and an aggregate
load-out facility on the upland west of the impacted wetland site. They propose to place additional fill in
the 1.49 acres of previously impacted, wetland and the 15 acres of adjacent upland area to construct an
aggregate stockpile facility. Also, they propose to widen and improve an existing earthen road for access
to the stockpile and load-out facilities. The road improvements require replacing the existing pipes with
three, 60-foot corrugated metal pipes and will impact an additional 0.03 acre of wetlands and 52 linear
feet of the tributary. The applicant proposes to use preservation of existing wetlands on site and payment
to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program to mitigate for completed and proposed impacts
to wetlands. Details of wetland preservation areas on the site and mitigation requirements have not yet
been completed.
There are records for the federal species of concern and state endangered yellow lance (Elliptio
lanceolata), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masons), and yellow lampmussel (Lampsilis cariosa); the federal

species of concern and state significantly rare pinewoods shiner (Lythrurus matutinus); and the state
threatened triangle floater (Alasmidonta undulata) downstream in Tar River.
We hesitate to concur with the filling of wetlands due to their wildlife habitat value and the well-
known beneficial functions they provide for flood control and water quality protection. Likewise, we
hesitate to concur with the piping of stream channels due to the potential for long-term and cumulative
impacts. Stream piping and placing fill in aquatic resources can result in significant negative impacts to
downstream areas and eliminate aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat.
Should the permit be issued, we recommend the following conditions be incorporated to further
minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
1. To minimize additional stream impacts, while retaining some measure of wildlife habitat, we
recommend a 100-foot undisturbed, native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a 50-foot
buffer along intermittent streams and wetlands. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along
these areas will minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources, water quality, and
aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area. In addition, wide riparian buffers
are helpful in maintaining stability of stream banks and for treatment of pollutants associated with
stormwater runoff. Whereas, a grassed buffer, particularly fescue, is a vegetated buffer but will
not provide the necessary and highly valuable functions as discussed for forested buffers.
2. We recommend all remaining wetlands and streams on the site be protected from additional
impacts by placing them in a permanent conservation easement to prohibit filling, draining,
flooding, and excavation.
Use bridges for all permanent roadway crossings of streams and associated wetlands to eliminate
the need to fill and culvert, where practicable. If culverts must be used, the culvert should be
designed to allow passage of aquatic organisms. Generally, this means that the culvert or pipe
invert is buried at least one foot below the natural streambed. If multiple cells are required, the
second and/or third cells should be placed so that their bottoms are at stream bankfull stage. This
will allow sufficient water depth in the culvert or pipe during normal flows to accommodate
movements of aquatic organisms. If culverts are long and sufficient slope exists, baffle systems
are recommended to trap gravel and provide resting areas for fish and other aquatic organisms. If
multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain dry during
normal flows to allow for wildlife passage. In addition, culverts or pipes should be situated so
that no channel realignment or widening is required. Widening of the stream channel at the inlet
or outlet of structures usually causes a decrease in water velocity causing sediment deposition that
will require future maintenance. Finally, riprap should not be placed on the streambed.
4. It is unclear whether construction of the aggregate stockpile facility will increase impervious
surface within the watershed. To adequately protect streams, impervious surface should be
limited to less than 10% or use stormwater control measures to mimic the hydrograph consistent
with an impervious coverage of less than 10%.
5. Specialized efforts and techniques should be implemented to reduce sediment runoff from
construction activities. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects
on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging
of gills of aquatic species.
6. A detailed mitigation plan should be submitted and approved before any additional impacts occur.

US Army Corps PUBLIC NOTICE 4- 19- DLP
Of Engineers
Wilmington District (After-the-Fact)
Issue Date: March 28, 2006
Comment Deadline: April 28, 2006
Corps Action ID #: 200620210
The Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers (Corps) has received an after-the-fact
application from Carolina Sunrock, LLC, seeking Department of the Army
authorization to impact a total of 1.52 acres of wetlands and 62 linear feet of stream
associated with a widened road crossing and a new stockpile area adjacent to a new
railroad siding, at their stone quarry and process plant south of Kittrell, in Vance
County, North Carolina.
Specific plans and location information are described below and shown on the attached
plans. This Public Notice and all attached plans are also available on the Wilmington
District Web Site at www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands
Applicant: Carolina Sunrock, LLC
PO Box 25
Butner, NC 27509
Authority
The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally
issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures of Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act.
Location
Carolina Sunrock stone quarry and process plant is located on the east side of US
Highway 1 (214 Sunrock Road), southwest of the south end of SR 1552 (South Chavis
Road), on the north bank of the Tar River, south of Kittrell, in Vance County, North
Carolina. The impact site is adjacent to, and on the west side of, an unnamed tributary to
the Tar River, just east of the Seaboard Coastline railroad track, north of the existing
Carolina Sunrock quarry and plant facilities, at 36.1793° North, 78.4445° West. The site
is in the Tar River Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03020101).
Existing Site Conditions
The existing Sunrock property is entirely east of US Highway 1 and north of the Tar
River. A Seaboard Coastline Railroad track running north-south divides the developed
(quarry/process plant) east portion of the property from a narrow sliver of undeveloped,
wooded land that runs along US Highway 1. The northern portion of Carolina Sunrock's
property east of the railroad track is mostly undeveloped woodland. Carolina Sunrock
has cleared and filled an area on the west side of an unnamed tributary to the Tar River in
the northwest portion of the property, just east of the railroad track. The majority of the
fill area is on an upland slope adjacent to the floodplain of the tributary; however,
Carolina Sunrock also cleared and filled a 1.66-acre area of wetlands in the floodplain
adjacent to the tributary, without the required authorization under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act. The filled wetland was, based on the adjacent unimpacted areas, an
herbaceous scrub-shrub wetland that was formerly a beaver pond that has been drained.
Carolina Sunrock has removed the unauthorized fill from a 0.17 acre area, within the 50
foot buffer of the tributary, so that the remaining filled wetland area is 1.49 acres. An
earthen fill road crosses the site and the tributary from west to east just north of the
impact site. The road uses two metal pipe culverts (84 and 60 inches in diameter),
approximately 18 feet long, for the stream crossing.
The areas adjacent to Carolina Sunrock's property to the north and east are generally
fields and undeveloped woodlands, with scattered private residences.
Applicant's Stated Purpose
As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide access and an
aggregate stockpile area adjacent to a new rail spur and railroad loadout equipment, to
expand distribution of construction aggregate potential of this quarry site.
Project Description
The permit request for a portion of this project is an after-the-fact application. The
majority of wetland impacts associated with this permit application have already been
completed. This public notice does not imply, on the part of the Corps of Engineers or
other agencies, either a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the work performed. This
notice is issued to solicit comments regarding the factors on which a final decision will
be based. The applicant has agreed to place the project on hold, pending the resolution of
the permit application. Further enforcement action, including possible legal action, has
been suspended pending the outcome of this consideration.
Carolina Sunrock proposes to construct approximately one mile of new rail spur and
aggregate load-out facility, off the east side of the existing Seaboard Coastline railroad,
on the upland just west of the impacted wetlands site. They also propose to place
additional fill, consisting of shot rock up to 20 feet deep and smaller stone material on
top, in the 1,49 acres of previously impacted wetlands and the 15 acres of adjacent upland
area to the north, to construct an aggregate stockpile facility of approximately 16.5 acres,
and propose to widen and improve the existing earthen road for access to the stockpile
and load-out facilities. The improved road will require replacing the existing pipes with
three corrugated metal pipes, each 60 feet long, which will impact 0.03 acre of wetlands
and 52 additional feet of the unnamed tributary to the Tar River.
2
A process (crusher) plant will be constructed on the upland south of the wetland impact
site, and conveyors parallel to the railroad spur will carry the crushed rock to the
stockpile area, using screens to separate the different sized products into separate piles.
Carolina Sunrock states that, as a result of the existing topography and location of the
tributary, the railroad spur has to be constructed at the proposed location along the
existing track, and constructing the plant over existing stone reserves or having to double
handle the aggregate products (hauling processed stone from a process plant stockpile to
a loading stockpile) are not legitimate options financially, based on the market price of
stone and the additional cost. In addition, Carolina Sunrock states that a typical process
plant and associated stockpiles cover approximately 18 to 20 acres, but that by
constructing the plant on the upland south of the site and using conveyors, they can fit the
stockpiles and load-out facility in the 16.5 acre area.
Carolina Sunrock proposes to use preservation of existing wetlands on their Kittrell
property and use of the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program to mitigate for
the completed and proposed impact to wetlands. Details of the available wetland
preservation areas and mitigation requirements have not yet been completed.
Other Required Authorizations
This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate
State agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision
until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives
State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The
receipt of the application and this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh
serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. A waiver will be deemed to occur
if the NCDWQ fails to act on this request for certification within sixty days of the date of
the receipt of this notice in the NCDWQ Central Office. Additional information
regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the NCDWQ Central
Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27604-2260. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the
application for certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act should do so in
writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 1650 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 Attention: Ms Cyndi Karoly by
April 21, 2006.
Cultural Resources
The Corps has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of I Iistoric
Places and is not aware that any registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein are located within the project area or will be affected by the
proposed work. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical
data may be located within the project area and/or could be affected by the proposed
work.
Endangered Species
The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the
applicant and consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on
available information, the Corps has determined pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, that the proposed project will have no effect on federally listed endangered or
threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat.
Evaluation
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity on the public interest.
That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of
important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors
which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects
thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental
concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain
values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shoreline
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property
ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving
the discharge of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, the evaluation of
the impact of the activity on the public interest will include application of the
Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines.
Commenting Information
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public, Federal, State and local
agencies and officials, including any consolidate State Viewpoint or written position of
the Governor; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the
Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for
this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered
species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other
public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an
Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to
determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the
proposed activity.
Any person may request, in writing. within the comment period specified in this notice,
that a public hearing be held to consider the application. Requests for public hearings
shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. Requests for a
public hearing shall be granted, unless the District Engineer determines that the issues
raised are insubstantial or there is otherwise no valid interest to be served by a hearing.
4
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received
by the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, until 5pm, April 28, 2006. Comments
should be submitted to:

Dear Ms. Manuele,
Tony Sample, CPESC
compliance Manager
PO Box 25 Butner, NC 27509
Please find attached, an after-the-fact application to cover filling activities that were done not realizing the area would
still be considered wetlands. The use of this 1.55 acres is crucial to being able to complete the stockpile area for the
storage of products to be shipped by rail. We have suspended activity in the area once it was identified as potential
wetlands, installed silt fence to protect the stream, withdrawn the material from the buffer area (within 50 feet on the
stream) and have now completed this application in the hopes to avoid further enforcement action and hopefully receive
a favorable nod on utilization of the area in question. We understand that 2:1 mitigation of this area will be required and
we will contact the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program to request coverage of this mitigation requirement, and will
send a copy of this application to Cyndi Karoly with the N C Division of Water Quality.
Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this issue. Please contact me if additional information is required.
Sincerely,
Carolina Sunrock LL

Block #18 Nature of Activities:
This is an after the fact permit application to be allowed to fill approximately 1.55 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands adjacent to an unnamed tributary to the Tar River. This area lies between
the tributary and the right-of-way for the main north/south Seaboard Rail Line in the area.
This property was purchased adjacent to the quarry site to allow for the construction of a rail
spur and aggregate load-out facility. Construction of such a spur requires the construction of
approximately 1 mile of track to accommodate the safe loading and moving of rail cars, and an
adjacent stock pile area. The wetland area in question is at a critical location in the property. In
addition to the stockpile areas, access to and from this area by haul truck or conveyor will be
required to supply the stock piles. We would also like to upgrade the existing stream crossing
immediately up stream or the wetland area to allow for two way haul truck traffic. This area is
still in a stabile condition and has not been affected by our activities.
The stock pile area will be filled with approximately 20 feet of shot rock and provided with a
stable 2:1 side slope adjacent to the buffer along the stream/wetland area. The top will be sloped
and bermed to prevent storm water from discharging down the fill sections. Silt fence will be
installed along the toe of the slope prior to construction to prevent further off-site sedimentation.
Side slopes to the fill sections will be faced with rock for stability. The fill (shot rock) will be
placed by haul truck and spread and leveled with a dozier and compacted for stability. Final
grade will be achieved using abc material to provide a more compact and durable working
surface.
The stream crossing upgrade will involve removal of the existing culvert (2 fuel tanks) and
replacing them with 3 -48 inch corrugated metal pipes. The current culvert consists of an 84 inch
recycled fuel tank and a 60 inch recycled fuel tank and is approximately 18 feet long. We wish
to replace them with 3 cmps, 70 feet long. Approximately 5 feet of fill will be required over the
pipes. The road will be constructed so that storm water will be diverted off the road and into
settling basins prior to the stream buffer to protect the stream.
Pictures of the existing crossing are attached for your information:
Photo #1 shows the existing access looking to the west, (RR in the background).
Photo #2 shows the outlet end (south) of the existing culverts.
Photos #3 and #4 shows the existing vegetation on either side of the pipes (Pipe locations is the
bare clay spot indicated on photos) looking east.
Figure # 1(rev) shows the 1.49 acres of wetlands requesting to be filled and how the project
spatially affects the entire railroad load out facility. The creek crossing is at the power line right-
of-way left and above the proposed fill area and the 0.03 acres of wetlands associated with the
crossing.
Figure #2 shows the entire property as permitted by the NCDENR, Division of Land Resources,
Land Quality Section in 2004 as Mining Permit No. 91-02.
Figure 43 is a location map taken from a USGS Quad Sheet.
Process:
Overburden (excess soil) is removed from above rock to be blasted with the use of a bulldozer or
pans. The Blaster (contracted out) lays out the shot and the drill crew (contracted out) drills the
holes for the insertion of the blasting agent. The blasting crew loads the holes with blasting
agents and initiators, with the blaster's supervision to ensure safety. The blaster detonates the
shot to break the stone into manageable pieces. The shot rock is loaded by a large track hoe into
haul trucks to be transported to the crushing plant. The shot rock is fed into the primary crusher
that reduces the stone down to a more uniform 8 inch or smaller diameter. Class B (erosion
control stone) riprap can be removed at this stage. The shot rock then proceeds by conveyors
through a series of secondary crushers, screens and materials washers to further reduce the stone
size and separate the additional products and to stock pile them for load out and delivery.
Creek crossing:
Wetlands associated with the creek crossing (nw quadrant only) is approximately 0.0328 acres
(68 feet x 21 feet).
Justification for use of Wetlands area:
The market price for stone in the Kittrell area is between $5.00 and $10.00 per ton due to the
number and location of other quarries in the area, and which product. Additional handling of the
stone must be avoided to remain competitive.
As a result of the existing topography and location of the creek, the rail road spur has to be
constructed along the proposed location and constructing the plant over existing stone reserves or
having to second handle the stone products are not legitimate options financially. . '
A typical process plant and associated stockpiles occupies an area of approximately 18 to 20
acres. Utilizing what upland area we have (15 acres) adjacent to the railroad track and the small
area of wetlands (1.49 acres) we can arrange the plant and associated stockpiles such that we can
utilize the railroad and construct the associated rail spurs to allow product transportation by rail.
Mitigation of Wetlands:
Carolina Sunrock LLC wishes to utilize preservation of existing wetlands along the Tar River
and its buffer as a portion of the required mitigation. We have been approved by the Ecosystem
Enhancement Program to participate in their program.

Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts; and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15,2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://l12o.enl.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at littp:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/carp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 7 5-
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No Q'
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
And must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers- identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify TY- PA,-i"ca V Yes No ?
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.
