Dear Mr. Shern:
r ;l
The attached NWP 27 PCN and restoration plan for the Conoconnara mitigation site is presented by
WK Dickson on behalf of Environmental Banc and Exchange (Applicant). The goal of the project is
provide full-delivery mitigation to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program for impacts in
hydrologic unit 03010107 of the Roanoke River Basin. The Conoconnara site is located in Halifax
County, North Carolina just outside of Tillery, approximately seventeen miles southeast of Roanoke
Rapids. The property is 567 acres located immediately south of NC 561 and is accessed via a farm
road 1.1 miles east of Tillery.
The proposed mitigation includes 5,073 linear feet of stream restoration on Looking Glass Run, 73
acres of non-riverine wetland restoration, and 71 acres of non-riverine wetland preservation. The
proposed stream restoration reach was disturbed by historic channelization and the proposed wetland
restoration area is prior-converted (PC) cropland that was ditched and drained. The Conoconnara Site
has a history of agriculture and timber production. The site currently supports agricultural production
(primarily cotton), woodlands, and pine plantation.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important project and please contact me if you have
questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
W.K. Dickson & Co., Inc.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1. Name of project: Conoconnara Mitigation Site
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): N/A
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 0300112
4. Location
County: Halifax Nearest Town: Tillery
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A
Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): From Tillery continue on
561 cast. Site is approximately 1.2 miles on rip-ht. Site is accessed from farm path (Figure 1).
5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that
separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 36.2407799 ON 77.4738370 °W
6. Property size (acres): Total property size is 560 acres. Enclosed in conservation easement is
186.6 acres.
7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Looking Glass Run
8. River Basin: Roanoke River, USGS HUC 03010107090020 and NCDWQ sub-basin 03-02-
08
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://112o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Looking Glass Run has a clraina,,e area of 562 acres (0.88
111i2) at the downstream end of the restoration nroicct. The wetland restoration area has a
drainage area of 130 acres (0.20 mi`). The dominant land use is agricultural production of
Updated 11 / 1/2005
Page 6 of 13
cotton and soybeans pine plantation and woodland. Local drainage patterns have been
altered in the east to drain wetlands and promote agricultural production. The USGS
Scotland Ncck NC topographic quadrangle (Figure 2) shows that drainage from the site
flows in two directions. The northern portion of the site flows primarily to Conoconnara
Swamp while the southern portion of the site drains to Looking Glass Run. There are
numerous agricultural ditches and swales on the project property that are used to promote
drainage. The ditches and swales were constructed to route water off the site, draining areas
that were once wetland. On-site topoaphy, soils and existing wetland areas demonstrate
that the site historically supported both riverine and non-riverine wetland areas. The
restoration and preservation areas will be protected by a conservation easement. Areas of the
property outside the conservation easement may continue to be used as woodland, pine
plantation agriculture or wildlife food plots NRCS soil ?n Wiping and aerial photography is
shown in Figure 2.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
project will involve the wetland restoration of PC cropland that drains to Conoconnara
Swamp and restoration of Looking Glass Run. Stream restoration on Looking Glass Run
will consist excavating a new channel and filling, the old channel (Figures 3 and 4). Native
material revetments will be installed. This project also includes restoration and preservation
of non-riverine wetlands. Wetland restoration activities will include plugging existing:
ditches removing=, and re-grading=, the existing abandoned railroad bed and ditches, relocation
of an existing overhead power line and re-,grading selected ditches outside the proposed
conservation easement to aid site drainage patterns. All wetland restoration activities are
taking place in non jurisdictional PC-cropland or uplands. Wetland preservation areas are
located in non-riverine wetlands south of the wetland restoration area. No impacts are
proposed in preservation areas. All disturbed areas will be stabilized and planted with native
vegetation. Equipment to be used includes track hoes, bulldozers, trucks, and other earth
moving equipment as necessary. The enclosed CD-ROM contains the Restoration Plan and
discusses the project in detail.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The project is being developed to provide
full delivery mitigation to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program EEP) for
impacts in hydrologic unit 03010107 of the Roanoke River Basin. The proposed stream
restoration reach was disturbed by historic channelization and the proposed- wetland
restoration area is prior-converted (PC) cropland that was ditched and drained. The
Conoconnara Site has a history of agriculture and timber production. The site currently
supports agricultural production (primarily cotton), woodlands, and pine plantation. The
stream restoration will restore a natural flow pattern and create a design that will allow flows
that exceed the design bankfull stage to spread out over the floodplain. The design, will
provide for stable cross-sectional geometry, an increase in planform sinuosity, and
restoration of sand-bed channel features and stream bed diversity to improve benthic habitat.
The wetland restoration will create hydrologic retention and encourage species
diversification that will provide a continuous non-riverine wetland system grading into
riverine wetlands and the stream restoration site that will enhance wildlife habitat, wildlife
passage, and water quality functions. The enclosed CD-ROM contains the Restoration Plan
and discusses the project in detail.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts resulting from the proposed
restoration include: fillinu/plugging 3.785 linear feet of existing channel; excavating 5,073
linear feet of new channel; and clearing 8.33 acres of riparian wetland to provide
construction access and temporary stockpile areas. No impacts will result from wetland
restoration or preservation activities.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

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. Due to the nature of this
project avoidance is not possible Impacts are minimized using a staged construction approach
Where possible the channel will be constructed prior to turning stream flow into a segment This
approach allows minimization of the impact of each stage during the project construction.
Additionally all work in wetlands and streams will be conducted during dry conditions and/or
with mats to protect soil structure. Efforts will be made to preserve individual high value trees
located within the stream restoration area. The enclosed CD-ROM contains the Restoration Plan
and discusses the project in detail.
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.
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

111. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1. Name of project: Conocomlara Mitigation Site
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): N/A
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 0300112
4. Location
County: Halifax Nearest Town: Tillery
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A
Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): From Tillery continue on
561 east. Site is approximately 1.2 miles on right. Site is accessed from farm path Figure 1).
5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that
separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 36.2407799 ON 77.4738370 °W
6. Property size (acres): Total property size is 560 acres. Enclosed in conservation easement is
186.6 acres.
7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Looking Glass Run
8. River Basin: Roanoke River, USGS HUC 03010107090020 and NCDWQ sub-basin 03-02-
08
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at littp://li2o.eiir.state.ne.us/admiii/niaps/.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Looking Glass Run has a drainage area of 562 acres (0.88
in i2) at the downstream end of the restoration nmiect_ The wetland restoration area has a
drainage area of 130 acres (0.20 mil. The dominant land use is maicultural production of

cotton and soybeans pine plantation and woodland. Local drainage patterns have been
altered in the past to drain wetlands and promote agricultural production. The USGS
Scotland Neck NC topographic quadrangle (Figure 2) shows that drainage from the site
flows in two directions. The northern portion of the site flows primarily to Conoconnara
Swampy while the southern portion of the site drains to Looking., Glass Run. There are
numerous agricultural ditches and swales on the project property that are used to promote
drainage The ditches and swales were constructed to route water off the site, draining areas
that were once wetland. On-site topography, soils and existing wetland areas demonstrate
that the site historically supported both riverine and non-riverine wetland areas. The
restoration and preservation areas will be protected by a conservation easement. Areas of the
property outside the conservation easement may continue to be used as woodland, pine
plantation agriculture or wildlife food plots NRCS soil mapping and aerial photograph
shown in Figure 2.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
project will involve the wetland restoration of PC cropland that drains to Conoconnara
Swamp and restoration of Looking Glass Run Stream restoration on Looking Glass Run
will consist excavating a new channel and filling the old channel (Figures 3 and 4). Native
material revetments will be installed. This project also includes restoration and preservation
of non-riverine wetlands. Wetland restoration activities will include plugging existing-
ditches, removing and re-grading the existing abandoned railroad bed and ditches, relocation
of an existing overhead power line and re-grading selected ditches outside the proposed
conservation easement to aid site drainagpattems. All wetland restoration activities are
taking lace in non jurisdictional PC-cropland or uplands. Wetland preservation areas are
located in non-riverine wetlands south of the wetland restoration area. No impacts are
proposed in preservation areas. All disturbed areas will be stabilized and planted with native
vegetation. Equipment to be used includes track hoes bulldozers, tnicks, and other earth
moving equipment as necessary. The enclosed CD-ROM contains the Restoration Plan and
discusses the project in detail.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The project is being developed to provide
full delivery mitigation to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for
impacts in hydrologic unit 03010107 of the Roanoke River Basin. The proposed stream
restoration reach was disturbed by historic channelization and the proposed wetland
restoration area is prior-converted (PC) cropland that was ditched and drained. The
Conoconnara Site has a history of agriculture and timber production. The site currently
supports agricultural production (primarily cotton) woodlands, and pine plantation. The
stream restoration will restore a natural flow pattern and create a design that will allow flows
that exceed the design bankfiill stage to spread out over the floodplain. The design will
provide for stable cross-sectional geometry an increase in planfortn sinuosity, and
restoration of sand-bed channel features and stream bed diversity to improve benthic habitat.
The wetland restoration will create hydrologic retention and encourage species
diversification that will provide a continuous non-riverine wetland system grading into
riverine wetlands and the stream restoration site that will enhance wildlife habitat, wildlife
passage and water quality functions. The enclosed CD-ROM contains the Restoration Plan
and discusses the project in detail.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
pennanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forns should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts resulting from the proposed
restoration include: filling/plugging 3.785 linear feet of existing channel; excavating 5,073
linear feet of new channel; and clearing 8.33 acres of riparian wetland to provide
construction access and temporary stockpile areas. No impacts will result from wetland
restoration or preservation activities.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and 11'linimization)
Expected pond surface area:
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. Due to the nature of this
project, avoidance is not possible. Impacts are minimized using a staged construction approach.
Where possible the channel will be constructed prior to turning stream flow into a segment. This
approach allows minimization of the impact of each stage during the project construction.
Additionally all work in wetlands and streams will be conducted during dry conditions and/or
with mats to protect soil stricture. Efforts will be made to preserve individual high value trees
located within the stream restoration area. The enclosed CD-ROM contains the Restoration Plan
and discusses the project in detail.
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.
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
watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
Updated 1 i/1/2005
Page 10 of 13
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.
