RE: Mason Property Wetland Restoration r
Dear Ms Karoly; ;
Ecotone, inc., on behalf of our client, Albemarle Restorations, ILC, is requesting 401
State Water Quality Certification to restore 16 acres of riverine and 20 acres of non
riverine wetlands on ,the Mason Property, located on State Road 264 near Rose Bay, in
Hyde County, North Carolina.
Albemarle' Restorations, LLC has contracted with the North- Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystem Enhancement" Program to 'restore 36
acres of prior converted cropland., The project involves minor grading and shaping to
restore; wetland hydrology"as well as an extensive planting plan. A variety of wetland
types, ' including bottomlarid hardwood, scrub shrub, and emergent., wetland types are _
proposed to maximize habitat diversity. A conservation easement has been recorded to '
protect the constructed wetlands in perpetuity. 'Three small ditches traverse the project
area and carries intermittent flow across .the. property. >These ditches will be temporarily
impacted by the proposed grading activities. The foot print of the ditch will. be, converted
to vegetated non-tidal wetlands.
We anticipate the Corps of Engineers will, verify that the project is authorized under
Nationwide Permit #27, Wetland and Riparian Restoration and Creation, and therefore
qualifies for General Water Quality Certification GC3495.

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 proposed impacts are
temporary and beneficial to the wetland resource and its watershed. The project will restore
wetland hydrology to 36 acres of prior converted cropland. The conversion of ditches to
wetland will reduce erosion, enhance nutrient uptake, and provide beneficial wildlife habitat.
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

Mason Property Wetland Mitigation Plan
Tar-Pamlico River Basin, 03020105
Hyde County, North Carolina- October 2006
Mason Property Wetland Mitigation
1.0 Introduction
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystem
Enhancement Program has selected 36 acres of the property originally owned by Marie
M. Mason, purchased by Albemarle Restorations, LLC in April 2006 for this full delivery
contract, for wetland restoration to fulfill a portion of the Request for Proposals (RFP):
Full Delivery Project Tar-Pamlico River Basin, RFP 16-D06001. The RFP and
subsequent contract(s) awarded by EEP provide compensatory stream, wetland and/or
buffer mitigation within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin Cataloging Unit 03020105.
Albemarle Restorations, LLC entered into a contract with the State of North Carolina on
January 5, 2006 to deliver 36 wetland mitigation units on the Mason project site, now
owned by Albemarle Restorations, LLC (Contract No. D06001). An easement was
recorded on the 36 acres encompassing this project on July 24, 2006 at the Hyde County
Courthouse and is provided in Appendix B.
Albemarle Restorations, LLC proposes to create 16 acres of riverine wetlands (16
Wetland Mitigation Units) and 20 acres of non-riverine wetlands (20 Wetland Mitigation
Units) on the Mason Property, located on Route 264 near Rose Bay, in Hyde County,
North Carolina. The Mason Property is in the Rose Bay/Germantown Bay watershed
(USGS Cataloging Unit 03020105030010), which is currently listed as "impaired" as
noted in the 2004 Tar-Pamlico River Basinwide Water Quality Plan. In addition, the site
is within required 5-year floodprone area.
The site has been chosen in part because of its location in a targeted watershed and
because it provides the opportunity to restore and protect a diverse wetland system
adjacent to a high quality tidal wetland system that includes Swanquarter National
Wildlife Refuge. The project's location in the Pamlico River Sub-basin (Sub-basin 03-03-
08) allows the 36 acres placed in a conservation easement to join the existing wetland
system and nearby forested areas in close proximity. In addition, the project is located in
a watershed upstream from Rose Bay and Rose Bay Creek, portions of which are closed
to shellfish harvesting due to fecal coliform contamination. This project site has been
selected because of the soils present, and a very shallow depth to groundwater (indicated
by extensive past ditching). Previous site visits have revealed high water marks from
frequent overbank flooding and widespread wet soil conditions. These factors indicate
that minimal grading will be necessary, and that the desired hydrophytic vegetation to be
planted will thrive.
The +/- 99-acre Mason Property is currently in agricultural production, and drains
directly into Rose Bay Creek, a primary tributary of Rose Bay via the "Mason" ditch, an
actively maintained ditch which acts as a stream. The conversion of this site from
agricultural use to established riverine and non-riverine wetlands will create a vegetated

buffer along the entire stream within the project and easement area, making this a
practical and environmentally beneficial restoration project.
2.0 Project Goals and Objectives
The restoration plans have been developed based on reference wetlands and utilizing the
50 years of combined wetland restoration experience brought forth by the principals of
Albemarle Restorations, LLC. The baseline goals of the project are to create wetland
hydrology and establish a viable community of wetland vegetation throughout the project
area. Beyond that, the goals and objectives are as follows:
1) Provide floodflow attenuation.
2) Water Quality improvement through sediment, toxicant, and nutrient retention
and reduction.
3) Alleviate downstream flooding issues by lessening the effect of pulse or
flashy flows.
4) Provide shading through long-term scrub shrub and forest cover to reduce
algae growth and associated low dissolved oxygen levels in surface water
moving through the site.
5) The production and export of food sources.
6) The creation of wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.
3.0 Site Location
The 36-acre project site is located in the center of the Mason property, in the Rose
Bay/Germantown Bay watershed (USGS Cataloging Unit 03020105030010), which is
currently listed as "impaired" as noted in the 2004 Tar-Pamlico River Basinwide Water
Quality Plan. The restoration site lies along the mid and upper reaches of an unnamed
tributary (commonly referred to as the "Mason" ditch) to Rose Bay Creek. The site is
accessed from Route 264, north of Rose Bay, via an existing farm lane. Figure 1 is a
vicinity map found in Appendix A. Downstream from the site, the tributary runs almost
entirely through wooded areas containing extensive wetlands before joining the main
stem of Rose Bay Creek. Above the site, the headwaters and upper reaches of the
tributary are located in agricultural fields. The tributary and the proximity of the site to
nearby forested areas on the most recent available GIS aerial photos of the area are
shown on Figure 2 in Appendix A.
4.0 General Watershed Description
The project site is located in Targeted Local Watershed 30010, Rose Bay, which lies in
Sub-basin 03-03-08, the Lower Pamlico River. The following information was
extrapolated from the "Tar-Pamlico Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan, 1999."
Forest/wetlands constitute 21% of the land in Sub-basin 03-02-09, while 7% is
agricultural, and 72% is surface water in this 1,225 square mile area. In 1990 the
population in this sub-basin was estimated at 5,114 people. Rose Bay Creek is not within
ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC.

a DWQ water Supply Watershed, and has no presence of the Aquatic Natural Heritage
Element. Rose Bay Creek is Designated High Quality and Market Shelifishing waters
and Outstanding Resource Water
5.0 Existing Site Conditions
The Mason farm consists of approximately 99 +/- acres, 36 of which are designated for
this project site. These 36 acres are located within the central portion of the farm. This
area is bisected by a deep drainage ditch acting as a stream (The "Mason" ditch) that runs
north to south from the property boundary to Route 264, and is currently bordered by
agricultural fields to the north and east, and timberland to the west and south of Route
264. Degradation to the channel and surrounding areas by past agricultural activities,
including channel straightening and planting of row crops up to the channel edges, allows
excessive nutrient and sediment accumulation in the channel. These past activities have
also served to reduce the flood flow attenuation capabilities of the historic undisturbed
channel. Appendix C contains photographs taken during a recent site visit, showing the
degradation of the channel and the proximity of tilled ground. The site is not located
within a FEMA regulated floodplain, therefore floodplain requirements are not addressed
in this restoration plan.
5.1 Soils
Soils examined at several locations throughout the project site in spring of 2005
exhibited strong hydric indicators, including sulfitic odor and deep gray color.
The majority of the site soils are mapped Stockade mucky sand loam, with areas
of Hydeland silt loam and Brookman loam. The Stockade series underlays
approximately 90% of the Mason tract, and is derived from marine and fluvial
sediment parent material. All three soils are deemed hydric due to saturation for a
significant period during the growing season, and are also considered hydric soils
that support woody vegetation under natural conditions. The seasonal high water
table is at or within 1 foot of the surface.
5.2 hydrology
The project site is currently bisected by a drainage ditch acting as a stream created
when the land was converted to cropland. The proposed design calls for the
ditch/stream invert elevation to be raised at the southernmost end of the project
area to elevation 1.5 and a broad flat drainage course to be created to mimic
conditions found in riverine wetlands just below headwater areas. A small
meandering headwater stream with shallow banks is proposed within the center of
the site to restore a more natural drainage pattern to the project site. The
hydrology of the project wetlands is to be derived from overbank flooding of the
meandering stream, supplemented by a high water table associated with the
Stockade soils. The Stockade mucky sand loam mapped on the site is classified

Masan Property Wetland Mitigation Plan

Hyde County, North Carolina - October 2006
as hydric with a seasonally high water table and low hydraulic conductivity which
allows surface and subsurface water to be retained for long periods during the
growing season. The Hydric Code for the soil is (1), meaning it is saturated for a
significant period during the growing season. Based on historical accounts from
the property owner(s), the area was wetland prior to being cleared and ditched.
Hydrology is similar to conditions at the reference site and the desired wetland
hydrology should be achieved quickly after the site grading is completed.
5.3 Adjoining Land Uses
The topography of the project site is extremely flat, with slightly lower elevations
on the eastern and southern sides. Elevations of the project area vary from -0.5'
at the bottom of the main ditch/stream and feeder ditches to 2.5' at the northern
edge of the project area. Surrounding properties of the project site that are within
the project site's drainage area are mapped as agricultural fields or timberland.
5.4 Threatened/Endangered Species and Existing Vegetation
On January 23, 2006 letters (see Appendix B) were sent by Albemarle
Restorations, LLC to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Ecological Services
Office and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission requesting a
project review for coordination under the Endangered Species Act, the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Albemarle
Restorations, LLC received no response to either letter. A review of Hyde
County's Threatened and Endangered Species list shows seven threatened and
seven endangered species exist in the county. Five of these threatened or
endangered species are sea turtles which could not inhabit the project site. Three
birds, the piping plover (Charadrius melodus), the bald eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalus), and the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) are listed
as threatened/endangered in the county. None of these three species, nor their
habitat, is currently found on the project site. The shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser
brevirostrum) and the West Indian manatee (Trichechus brevirostrum) are both
listed as endangered in the county, neither could inhabit the shallow waters of the
project site or traverse the tidal gate on the property just downstream of the
project area. The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is "threatened
due to similarity" in the county, making it exempt from Section 7 consultation.
There is currently an experimental population of red wolves (Canus rufus) in the
county, however, they are confined to the Alligator River National Wildlife
Refuge. The sensitive joint-vetch (Aeschynomene virginica) is a threatened plant
species that occurs on only one site in the county, and the threatened seabeach
amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus) occurs only on the sand dunes of barrier islands.
The only existing vegetation within the project area consists of soybeans grown
for agricultural purposes. Any native vegetation present is incidental and on a
scale that is not measurable for the purposes of this report.

5.5 Jurisdictional Wetlands
According to Mr. Mason, the property has been in his family since at least 1857
and has always been used since that time for residential and farming purposes.
The extensive ditching and soil classes on site indicate that the project area was at
some point in time, a wetland. All cropland within the project area is classified as
Prior Converted Cropland by the Hyde County Soil Conservation District. As
with other similar projects, an application will be made to the COE and the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality when the Restoration Plan has been
completed and approved by EEP. Impacts to the stream/ditches is considered of
wetland type from waters to vegetated wetlands. Normally this conversion and
relocation of Waters is authorized under Nationwide Permit 427, Stream and
Wetland Restoration Activities.
5.6 Historic Preservation
On February 23, 2006 Ecotone, Inc. received a letter (see Appendix B) from the
North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources State Historic Preservation
Office concerning the subject site. The letter states that the above agency is
"aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." A
family cemetery exists on the subject property, is outside of the EEP project area
and the project's limit of disturbance, and will not be impacted in any way by the
restoration project.
6.0 Reference Wetlands
An expansive wetland located in the Rose Bay/Germantown Bay watershed was used as
the reference site for this project. The site is approximately 3 miles west of the
intersection of Route 264 and New Lake Road, on the south side of the Old State Canal
near Rose Bay in Hyde County, North Carolina
The site was sampled June 29, 2006 after several days of moderate rainfall. This is a
wetland site typical of a mid-age shrub/scrub stand dominated by southern bayberry,
royal fern, and various types of rush that would be found in wetlands throughout the
coastal plain in North Carolina
ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 6
Mason Property Wetland Mitigation Plan
Tar-Pamlico River Basin, 03020105
Hyde County, North Carolina - October 2006
6.1 Hydrological Characterization
The hydrology of the site is seasonally or semi-permanently inundated or
saturated during the growing season. During the June, 2006 site visit, most of the
site was underl-6 inches of water, under normal circumstances it is estimated that
25-40 percent of the site is inundated. The hydrology is derived from a
combination of a high groundwater table, slow permeability, and overbank
flooding. Microtopography variations create soil conditions at both sites ranging
from inundation up to 18 inches to saturation at a depth of ten inches.
6.2 Soil Characterization
The soils at the site were mapped Belhaven muck, 0-2 percent slopes, and very
poorly drained. Field observations confirmed this mapped type. A profile of the
soils at the site produced the following: Horizon A was found from a depth of 0-
12 inches and was of an organic nature with a matrix color of 10YR 3/2. Horizon
B occurred from a depth of 12-16 inches and was sandy in nature with a matrix
color of 2.5Y 5/2. Horizon B2 occurred from a depth of 16 inches on and was of
a sandy/loam nature with minor clay and matrix color of 2.5Y 5/2. All colors
described at this site are considered Munsell Moist. Photographs for both
reference sites can be found in Appendix C.
6.3 Plant Community Characterization
At the reference site, 100 percent of the dominant species were OBL, FACW, or
FAC (excluding FAC-). Vegetation was dense in the shrub and herb layers, with
scattered young cypress trees on small hummocks. The shrub layer was
dominated by southern bayberry while royal fern, tussock sedge and various types
of rush dominated the herb layer with the dispersal and ratio of plants uniform
throughout the site. See Appendix C for photographs of the site.
7.0 Wetland Restoration Plan
The goal of the proposed restoration plan is to create a wetland system typically found in
the middle to upper reaches of first order tributary systems. The target plant community
is a varied wetland forest interspersed with scrub shrub and shallow emergent habitats
and elevated hummocks to promote cypress growth, as well as several forest areas which
will help provide a continuous forested and diverse greenway along the tributary. Any
invasive or exotic species found on the site while earth work is being completed will be
removed through physical or chemical means.

Mason Property Wetland Mitigation Plan
Tar-Pamlico River Basin, 03020105
Hyde County, North Carolina - October 2006
7.1 Hydrologic Modifications
Hydrologic modifications on the site will be achieved through raising the channel
elevation of the main ditch at the southernmost end of the project area, creating a
broad drainage course with a very low gradient (less than 0.5 percent slope) and
an associated low floodplain. Overland flow from the 56.4-acre drainage area
will inundate the entire project area during major flooding events (see Appendix
D for the HEC-RAS analysis of the site). The one-year storm discharge
calculation for the site indicates that the peak water surface elevation behind the
downstream berm will rise to elevation 2.22', inundating the entire project area
with more than 6" inches of water. The seasonally high water table historically
found on the site will maintain saturated soils throughout significant periods
during the growing season.
To add to the retention time of flooding events in the wetland area,
microtopography will be used to create hummocks and depressions utilizing the
current as well as proposed changes in elevation. The grading plan allows for
deviations of up to one foot (1') for creating hummocks and depressional areas.
A low berm structure has been designed at the lower end of the system extending
around the eastern and western perimeters of the project area to assist in water
retention and prevent any increase in flooding potential outside of the
project/easement area. The outfall from the system is adjacent to the existing
access lane at the downstream portion of the berm structure, and will channel
flood flows through a wide outfall into the existing ditch that will remain on its
course to Rose Bay Creek.
7.2 Soil Restoration
Soils found in the project area currently exhibit hydric characteristics and will
remain. In areas where grading of more than one and one-half feet is proposed,
soil from the upper horizon will be stockpiled and redistributed prior to
establishing final grade. Because sufficient organic material appears to be present
to a significant depth, no amendments are specified. Large woody debris
encountered within the project area will be placed throughout the created
wetlands to add variety to soil conditions and encourage diversity of volunteer
species.
7.3 Plant Community Restoration
The plant species chosen for the project are native to the area, with an emphasis
on species that will provide habitat and a viable, yearlong food source for a wide
range of animal and plant species. Surrounding areas are home to bear, whitetail
deer, raccoon, squirrel, fox, migrating waterfowl, and a wide variety of amphibian
ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 8
Mason Property Wetland Mitigation Plan

and reptile species, and the project is intended provide food and habitat to
complement and enhance the existing ecosystem. Hydrophytic species shown on
the planting plan were selected to create a diverse matrix of wetland communities
including shrub/scrub wetlands, areas of open water, emergent, and forested
wetlands. Invasive and exotic species will not be planted on the site. Any
invasive or exotic species found on the site will be removed through physical or
chemical means during the planting phase. In selecting vegetation, we have
considered reference non-riverine and riverine wetland areas adjacent to the site
and "Dominant Plants for Major Wetland Types" published by the North Carolina
Department of Environment Water Quality Section. Sheet P-2 contains detailed
planting and seeding schedules for the site.

to each other. Apply half the seeding rate in each direction.
2. Drill or cultipacker seeding: Mechanized seeders that apply and cover
seed with soil.
a) Cultipacking seeders are required to bury the seed in such a fashion as
to provide at least 1/4 inch of soil covering. Seedbed must be firm after
planting.
b) Where practical, seed should be applied in two directions perpendicular
to each other. Apply half the seeding rate in each direction.
8.0 Monitoring
Monitoring plots will be installed and permanently monumented upon completion of
plant installation. A minimum of one sampling quadrant will be located within each
proposed vegetative community. Because the restoration plan requires the site to be
hummocked, it is likely that sampling quadrants will include more than one vegetation
community and multiple hydrologic regimes. Piezometers will be installed at the project
site to measure subsurface water levels during the five-year monitoring period.
Following construction, a Mitigation Plan and As Built Drawings will be prepared for the
site and submitted to EEP. The Mitigation Plan will include the monitoring plan and
protocol, as well as an invasive and exotic species management plan. The management
plan will identify potential invasive species as defined in the "North Carolina Noxious
Weed List". identify site constraints, and provide for a two-part control plan. The first
part of the two-part plan will suppress the establishment of noxious plants through
eradication of existing species seen on site and installation of sufficient densities of
native woody and herbaceous species. The second part will be to implement an early
ALBEMARLE RESTORATIONS, LLC. 12
Mason Property Wetland Mitigation Plan
Tar-Pamlico River Basin, 03020105
Hyde County, North Carolina - October 2006
detection and rapid response program, to identify and remove invasive species before
they become established.
Monitoring will be completed using random permanent sampling quadrants as outlined in
the Mitigation Plan for a minimum five-year period, or until success of the project can be
validated. Monitoring Reports will be submitted to EEP by December 31 of the year in
which the monitoring was conducted. In the unlikely event that success criteria outlined
below are not achieved by the end of the five-year minimum monitoring period, with
permission from EEP corrective measures including regrading, replanting, removal of
certain species, etc. will be performed. If areas are deemed to be severely deficient in
meeting the success criteria, Albemarle Restoration, LLC may opt to ask the Department
to allow corrective measures prior to the end of the five-year period.
9.0 Success Criteria:
Success of the project will go beyond the establishment of wetland hydrology and a
predominance of hydrophytic vegetation. Because the goals of the project are to create a
diverse wetland system, the success criteria will be tied directly to those goals. The
intent of the project is to create a diverse wetland forest, interspersed with small areas of
emergent wetlands, shallow open water, and hummocks. For each wetland type, the
target hydrologic regime will be slightly different. The target regime for the emergent
areas will be inundation greater than three inches for the majority of the growing season
in the lowest areas and will be interspersed with higher hummocks which will be
seasonally saturated for the majority of the growing season. Areas planted with shrubs
will be seasonally inundated, zero to six inches, to saturated, with water levels to six
inches below the surface during drier periods, especially late in the growing season, and
up to 6 inches of inundation during wetter periods and in spring. Stems will be planted
on hummocks to maximize initials survival rates. Areas planted in trees and shrubs will
be seasonally saturated with water levels zero to twelve inches below the surface with
periods of inundation following overbank flooding events and during wetter periods.
Overall, we expect the project site to be inundated and/or saturated within 12 inches of
the surface for a minimum of six (6) weeks during the growing season. A more detailed
description of the hydrologic types and inundation periods for each type will be provided
in the mitigation plan, to be submitted with the as-built construction drawings. As
described in Section 8.0, piezometers will monitor both inundation and saturation in all
created wetland types. We believe that the creation of this diverse system is necessary to
provide the range of intended functions and values. The primary indicators of success
will therefore be the establishment of a range of wetland hydrology including inundated,
saturated, seasonally saturated, and upland hummock areas. The planting plan on Sheet
P-2 indicates the hydrologic regime and commensurate elevation each species is to be
planted. The site will be deemed successful if a range of wetland hydrologic regimes
exist during normal climatic conditions, and emergent, shrub/scrub, forested wetland
plant communities are established. Site hydrology during years of excessive rainfall or
extreme drought will be assessed with climatic conditions in mind.

At the request of EEP, Albemarle Restorations, LLC will investigate the possibility of
installing a monitoring plot at the reference wetland site. Because AR does not own nor
control the wetland reference site property, permission from the landowner is required,
and access to perform the monitoring cannot be guaranteed by AR. If access permission
cannot be granted, AR will attempt to locate an alternative location for a reference
wetland to monitor concurrent with the project site.

Re: Request for Historical Review, Mason Property, Hyde County, ER 06-0344
Dear Mr. McGill:
Thank you for your letter of January 31, 2006. We have reviewed our site files and offer the following
comments.
No previously recorded archaeological sites or historic structures are noted on our site files within the project
area. Topographically, the project area is located within a broad upland flat away from the margins of major
drainages. Several drainage canals are noted within the area, which suggest a relatively wet landscape. 'I'bis
location is considered a low probability area for the presence of significant cultural resources. We concur that
it is highly unlikely that any significant, potentially eligible property will be impacted as a result of this project:.
In the event we review any permit applications related to this project, we will not require an archaeological
survey or any other additional work.
We have determined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic structures.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 C FR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-733-4763. In aU. future
communication concerning this project, please cite the above-referenced tracking number.
