David and Sue-- The wetland restoration areas have been restored to pre -con grades and seeded with herbaceous
wetland mix. However, it is entirely too wet to attempt planting container plants. Planting contractor is planning to be
on-site beginning of next week. So, we request another extension until December 1, 2018. Let me know if that will be a
problem. Thanks.

David and Sue,
The sediment basins have been closed by DENR and wetland restoration activities to restore wetland grade has been in
process for approximately 2 weeks. The up -gradient wetland has been restored to grade (PVC pipe removed) and is
ready for planting and the down -gradient wetland is expected to be returned to grade by EOD or tomorrow. Tentative
schedule for herbaceous seed mix planting is Thursday and container plants Monday, 11/5. Planting is contractor
schedule dependent, but the applicant is aware of the urgency to get the plantings completed as quickly as possible. I
will follow up upon completion of final grade restoration of down -gradient wetland, herbaceous and container
plantings; however, we request an extension of 2 weeks to get these activities completed as it cannot be completed
within previously requested schedule. Please confirm that both agencies are amendable to this request or please let me
know if either have any concerns. Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks as always for the coordination and update, Brad.
The Corps is amenable to your request. As such, the following items must be completed by September 30, 2018:
1) The portions of the sediment basins on the up and downstream side of the road within the originally delineated
wetland areas still must be removed, graded, prepared, and seeded per Plan Sheets C1.2 and C1.3 of the approved
restoration plan;
2) Previously graded wetland restoration areas on the upstream side of the road will require additional
grading/seeding where a pvc pipe currently dewaters the sediment basin.
3) Previously graded wetland restoration areas on the downstream side of the road will require additional grading to
ensure appropriate hydrology concurrently with item 1) above. This area appears to be too high and elevation. To
ensure restoration success, I suggest that you use a reference elevation in the existing wetland forest adjacent to this
area. Brad Luckey (Pilot Environmental) can provide specific guidance on this topic. Further, the sump within the
wetland area should be removed and restored for compliance and safety purposes;
Any requests to alter the completion timeframes for the stream and wetland restoration activities are subject to
approval from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office (Corps); such requests
must be sent in writing including justification that meeting such timeframes is not practicable. Please also recall the
October 31, 2018 deadline for planting woody species in wetland restoration areas, as well as the requirement to amend
the recorded Conservation Areas (see item v on our December 19, 2017 letter). Please let me know if you have any
questions.

David and Sue,
I hope you both are well and had an enjoyable long holiday weekend. The work at TBP road crossing is nearing
completion; however, is still on-going and the sediment basins have still not been closed out by DEMLR. As such, the
applicant requests an extension to September 30, 2018 to complete the wetland restoration. Please let me know if this
will be a problem.
Additionally, I have included a picture of the field conditions of the rip -rap beneath the culvert following maintenance to
ensure aquatic passage as requested previously. This was the only picture that I was able to recover from my phone, but
if you need more then let me know and we can oblige.

Brad,
Thank you for meeting me and Sue Homewood (NCDWR) on site yesterday to review the stream/wetland restoration
progress at Triad Business Park. Based on the site visit, the stream restoration sections are complete, including
structures, matting, and planting. The stream restoration looks good, including the additional log vein structure on the
upstream end of the culvert, and live stakes appear to be growing well. Wetland grading and seeding has taken place in
a portion of the restoration area. As discussed, the rip rap pad on the downstream end of the culvert requires work,
given that the stream flows below the rip rap and does not allow for aquatic life passage. I have included a list of items
to complete below:
1) Sediment basins on the up and downstream side of the road are still in place. The portions of these basins within
the originally delineated wetland areas still must be removed, graded, prepared, and seeded per Plan Sheets C1.2 and
C1.3 of the approved restoration plan no later than July 31, 2018. Any requests to alter the completion timeframes for
the stream and wetland restoration activities are subject to approval from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington
District, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office (Corps); such requests must be sent in writing including justification that meeting
such timeframes is not practicable;
2) Previously graded wetland restoration areas on the upstream side of the road will require additional
grading/seeding where a pvc pipe currently dewaters the sediment basin.
3) Previously graded wetland restoration areas on the downstream side of the road will require additional grading to
ensure appropriate hydrology concurrently with item 1) above. This area appears to be too high and elevation. To
ensure restoration success, I suggest that you use a reference elevation in the existing wetland forest adjacent to this
area. Brad Luckey (Pilot Environmental) can provide specific guidance on this topic. Further, the sump within the
wetland area should be removed and restored for compliance and safety purposes;
4) The rip rap pad placed downstream of the culvert uses rocks that are too large and above grade to allow aquatic
life passage through this area. A thalweg should be established through the rip rap pad area for low flow of the stream
channel. In order to allow aquatic life passage, rip rap within the thalweg should be imbedded in the sediment.
These activities must be complete no later than July 31, 2018 as referenced above. Please also recall the October 31,
2018 deadline for planting woody species in wetland restoration areas, as well as the requirement to amend the
recorded Conservation Areas (see item v on our December 19, 2017 letter). Please let me know if you have any

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] RE: [External] RE: TBP Stream Restoration
David and Sue,
I just spoke to Bret and wanted to provide a more detailed time line and understanding of the stream and wetlands
restoration. Riverworks was supposed to begin the stream restoration on March 12, but has been pushing the schedule
back due to personnel being tied up on a restoration in SC that is being slowed by rainfall. Riverworks has said that they
tentatively think that the stream restoration activities will being on 4/2. Understand this may still get delayed if it
continues raining 3-4 days a week and Riverworks cannot finish their SC restoration. However, if it is delayed again, we
would think that it would only be a week or two more before they begin the stream restoration. We are anticipating the
stream restoration to take 1-2 weeks to complete.
Once the stream restoration is completed and flow re -directed into the culvert, then grading and backfilling of the
culvert can occur. As referenced by Bret's earlier email, they are actively moving dirt now in areas that they can and are
very eager to have the crossing functioning for upcoming Phase II occupants. We anticipate backfill and final grading to
be completed sometime in May to maybe June. It will take a couple of weeks for permanent vegetation to get
established to close out the grading permit and S&EC devices. We are thinking that once all this occurs (likely sometime
as early as May to as late as July), then the wetlands restoration would commence and then planting woodies would be
in the fall. Initial restoration efforts would include restoring pre -disturbance grade (i.e. hydrologic function) and
herbaceous seeding. Planting containerized plants would be at a better time of year for plant mortality and would be
conducted likely in mid to late October.
I think that there was some earlier confusion (and likely rightly so) about why the initial wetland restoration date (i.e.
end of October) was referenced. I was really only considering when the last part of the restoration (planting woodies)
would be finished and that was the reasoning for the proposed final wetlands restoration date. I hope that this clears up
any miss understanding.
Sincerely,
Bradley S. Luckey, PWS

David and Sue,
Please refer to restoration sequence of the agency approved restoration plan. Due to the location of the wetland
restoration area, the culvert must be backfilled and stabilized to close out sediment basins located in the wetland
restoration area. If the wetland restoration was staged such that the areas outside of the sediment basins within the
wetland restoration area were graded and seeded prior to closing the sediment basins, then machinery would be
working in the restored/seeded wetland to remove the sediment basins. This would likely result in greater restoration
efforts/soil amendments/tillage, etc. to remove the sediment basins and could jeopardize the overall success of the
wetland restoration. The wetland restoration was staged like this to specifically limit the amount of machinery in the
wetland restoration area. Let me know if this does resolve your concerns.

While I understand the delay due to weather and the preferred contrator's schedule, it does not seem that a
delay in grading for the crossing would be something should create a delay of the restoration. Restoration completion
and compliance is a factor that the Division uses to determine whether to assess civil penalties (fines) for violations. At
this point the Division has not determined whether there will be continued action regarding this violation. If you would

Wetland restoration cannot be completed until stream restoration is completed, stream flow directed through
culvert, final grading of crossing is stabilized with vegetation and closure of sediment and erosion control devices with
NCDEQ (in that order). There have also been other issues outside of weather, including encountering unexpected rock
which could likely continue to delay grading for the crossing. I do not anticipate that the above items will be completed
until sometime into or maybe even after the summer. I anticipate that the wetland restoration activities will not begin
until the fall or after to be in a window of conducive planting timing. I know you will need an exact date, so if we have to
provide a date (which is essentially a best guess at this time), then I would say by 10/31/18.
Sincerely,
Bradley S. Luckey, PWS

Subject: RE: TBP Stream Restoration
Thank you for the update, Brad. I appreciate the hiring of a contractor with stream restoration experience, and
the Corps is willing to delay completion as you requested due to the increased chance of restoration success. That said,
our previous time extension approval listed stream restoration completion as today, and wetland restoration
completion as 4/30/2018. Will wetland restoration still be completed and planted by 4/30/2018. If not please advise as
to a new wetland restoration completion date, including justification for the time extension.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] RE: TBP Stream Restoration
David and Sue,
The applicant has hired Riverworks to complete the stream restoration. However, due to their schedule and
the recent weather conditions, Riverworks has not yet been able to start the restoration. It appears that they may start
the stream restoration within the next month. As such, the applicant would like to request an extension of 6 weeks to
May 2, 2018 to complete the stream restoration activities. Please let me know if this will be a problem. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Bradley S. Luckey, PWS

David and Sue,
With the holidays and recent weather, I would like to request a 30 day extension for the stream restoration
work to be completed at TBP. This would be a date of March 21, 2018 to complete stream restoration. Please let me
know if this is acceptable. Thank you.
Sincerely,
