Please note that this decision does not assure that the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NC EEP will be approved. This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the 404/401/CAMA permits to NC EEP. Once NC EEP receives a copy of the 404 Permit and/or the 401 Certification an invoice will be issued and payment must be made. Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following table.

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. THE SUBDIVISION REQUIRED TWO ACCESSES ONTO SMALLWOOD ROAD TO REDUCE THE TRAFFIC IMPACT AT ONE ENTRANCE. THIS ADDITIONAL ENTRANCE FORCED THE CREATATION OF A CROSSING OF THE INTERMITTENT STREAM. THE OTHER TWO WETLAND IMPACTS WERE CREATED DUE TO RIGHT OF WAY AND LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS ALL OF THE OTHER TEMPORARY IMPACTS WERE NECESSARY TO CONSTRUCT PUBLIC UTILITIES TO SERVICE THE PROJECT. 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 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://h2o.enr.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, aesthetic, trout pond, Updated 11/1/2005 Page 10 of 13 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. ALL REMAINING WATERS AND WETLANDS WITHIN THE PROJECT BOUNDARY OF 33.146 ACRES OUAIL ROOST WILL BE RESTRICTED WITHIN THE COVENANTS OF THE PROJECT AS WELL AS CONDITIONED BY THE USACOE. NO OTHER MITIGATION IS PROPOSED FOR THIS TRACT. 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 (919) 715-0476 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.

EverhartPhD CWB 04954k444- Southeastern Permit Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program Date: December 7, 2006 RE: Hurst Law Properties, LLC - Quail Roost S/D, Onslow Co., DWQ No. 20061829 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject application for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.), and Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act (as amended). The project is located west of SR 1576 (Queens Haven Rd.), approximately .25 miles west of its intersection with SR 1509 (Queens Creek Rd.) near Swansboro in Onslow County. The property totals approximately 33.146 acres with approximately 3.38 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. An un-named tributary to Parrot Swamp borders the property to the east. Waters in Parrot Swamp are classified SA by the Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). The applicants propose to impact approximately 0.3786 acre of wetlands and 149 linear feet of stream through filling/culverting to construct access roads and provide infrastructure for a 69-lot subdivision. No mitigation measures are proposed for these impacts other than preservation of on-site wetlands. Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries - 1721 Mail Service Center - Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 707-0220 - Fax: (919) 707-0028 Hurst Law Properties - Quail Roost Z December 7, 2006 We have the following concerns/recommendations: • We recommend that utility crossings at streams be directionally bored or suspended above the stream. • We recommend 100 ft and 50 ft native forested buffers are maintained or created on each side of on-site perennial and intermittent streams, respectively. Directional bores for utilities must begin and end outside the appropriate forested buffer. If utilities are to parallel streams, they must be outside the appropriate forested buffer or the 100-year flood plain, whichever is greater. A § 404 jurisdictional determination was not provided with the application materials. The cumulative impacts of future development (home construction) on wetlands have not been addressed. We recommend that all remaining and created/restored wetlands on-site be preserved through permanent conservation easement to prevent further impacts. This easement should prohibit any cutting, mowing, or disturbance of vegetation; soil disturbance; or construction of any kind (including walkways, piers, platforms, etc.) within the wetlands (i.e., preservation is not limited to just the prevention of filling). We have no objection to the project provided our recommendations are included as permit conditions. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application.
