Total wetlands impacts would total approximately 1.65 acres. ADJACENT WATER BODY: Dutchman Creek CLASSIFICATION: SC Sw The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality. The following comments have been provided. Please find the attached Wetland Rating System Worksheet. A site visit was made on November 8, 1991. Areas proposed for fill are higher than surrounding wetland areas. Rating sheet is for wetland area in general. A rating just for proposed fill area would be approximately 16. The area requested for fill represents the least environmentally damaging location for the substations. 1. The project will require a 401 Water Quality Certification. 2. The project complies with the General 401 Water Quality Certification No. 2176 for Headwater Wetlands.

Issuance of Department of the Army authorization must precede any placement of excavated or fill material within any wetlands on your property. Unauthorized activity would be a violation of Federal law. Before you undertake any work, we strongly suggest that the wetlands be surveyed and platted on a property map. Such mapping would help you avoid any unintentional disturbance of wetlands on the site, and would assist your planning and be essential to any application for a permit which you might submit. Surveyed wetland lines, shown on property maps, must be field verified and confirmed in writing by our staff to be acceptable. Enclosed is a copy of the Wetland Determination Form, providing specific information obtained on your property. The data on this form supports the determination of wetlands on your site and has been compiled in accordance with procedures set forth in the "Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands." Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steve Chapin, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919)251-4725.
