As a part of,the various approvals, the Burlington City Schools received a Special Use Permit from the City of Burlington for construction of the project. One of the conditions of the special use permit was that the Burlington City Schools install an 8 ft. high fence along their entire western property line. After approval, there were some concerns raised by us and the Burlington City Schools regarding this fence crossing the previously identified wetlands in that area and the possible impact of the clearing and crossing relating to this installation. The City of Burlington Planning Staff has indicated that if there are some environmental concerns for not crossing the wetlands with the fence, they would consider recommending that the fence stop at the wetlands along the western property line. I would request that you review this matter and advise me if you have a concern relating to this condition of the Special Use Permit. Your early response would be most appreciated.

PROJECT SUMIVIARY: The applicant proposes to construct a single family residence on his property located adjacent to the AIWW. The majority of the lot has been designated as Corps jurisdiction. The project is located within an ORW AEC. Major Art Shemwell Page 2 I 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of a single family lot located within Golden Acres Subdivision. The AIWW is located adjacent to the property. The lot measures approximately 105' wide at the road and is approximately 310' long. As stated above, the majority of the lot has been designated as Corps of Engineers "404" wetlands. Adjacent to the AIWW the property is vegetated with mixed coastal high marsh fringed with smooth cordgrass. There is a mound of relic fill material which measures approximately 60' long x 20' wide located within these wetlands. There is a ditch located along the eastern property line which allows the wetland area to extend toward the existing road. The adjacent waters are classified as SA and g_rg men to shellfishing. The waters =r designated as a primary nursery area(PNA). The applicant is proposing to construct a residence with driveway on the property. The drive will be approximately 75' long x 12' wide. The house will be approximately 30' x 30'. In order to compensate for the marginal wetlands which will be impacted the applicant is proposing to remove the 60' x 20' fill area and will truck the material to an approved high ground site. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS Provided that the structures are constructed as proposed and that the fill is removed as indicated no significant adverse impacts are anticipated. The proposed project will create approximately 1830 sf of built upon surface within the ORW AEC. Submitted by: C. Robert Stroud, Jr. Date: November 19, 1992 Office: Wilmington P1.aase type' or print.

Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Re: Burlington City Schools Project Davis and Harriet Streets Burlington (Alamance County) Dear Dr. Wright: I am respectfully asking for your urgent attention to the circumstances surrounding the building of the new elementary school. We need approval to immediately proceed with the clearing and grading of property in order to erect a new school which will accommodate over 600 students. This is a very important health and safety issue, because the existing sixty-one-year-old school building has some serious problems associated with its continued use with children. Three months ago a large portion of ceiling fell in on a kindergarten classroom only 10 minutes after the 25 children had departed. We have other safety concerns associated with the structure, including vastly overcrowded conditions. The only immediate delay in the construction of the new school is the approval of the use of a small portion of the new school property identified as wetlands. As school superintendent, I respectfully request a very prompt response to our problem. The issue of timing is very important in the construction schedule. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, '0 / /. 14 se h R.

BOX 1890 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 IN REPLY REFER TO Regulatory Branch June 19, 1992 Action ID. 199202346 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated Waters) l5 UU 5 Burlington City Schools c/o Mr. Joseph R. Sinclair JUN 1992 1712 Vaughn Road Burlington, North Carolina 27217-2916 WETLANDS GROUP. Dear Mr. Sinclair: Please reference the meeting of March 5, 1992, between Mr. John Thomas of my staff and Mr. Nelson Paul of Environmental Consultants & Permit Specialists (consultant for site) onsite of the proposed new elementary school site located off Davis and Harriet Streets adjacent to unnamed tributaries of Little Alamance Creek, Burlington, Alamance County, North Carolina. The purpose of the site visit was to discuss plans for the aforementioned project, and review wetland jurisdiction delineations for the site. This letter also confirms the June 5, 1992, wetlands survey verification of the aforementioned wetland delineation review. Based upon previous onsite inspections and review of the aforementioned survey, we recognize this surveyed alignment to be the limits of our regulatory jurisdiction on the property. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination of the limits of wetlands may be relied upon for a period not to exceed 3 years. The site visit of March 5, 1992 revealed the proposed site is adjacent to two unnamed/above headwaters tributaries of Little Alamance Creek. Reference is also made to your letter of May 22, 1992, where you requested Department of the Army authorization to discharge fill (PDN application) within these aforementioned delineated jurisdictional wetlands. The review of the request indicates you propose adverse modification to approximately 1.96 acres of Section 404 jurisdictional waters of the United States. For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters provided: a. The discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters of the United States; -2- b. The permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would cause the,loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and c. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part of a single and complete project. Your proposed work, involving adverse modification to 1.96 acres of waters of the United States located above the headwaters of the aforementioned tributary, is authorized by nationwide permit (NWP) provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. Please be aware that this authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any other required or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, (919) 733-5083, to obtain the necessary Section 401, Water Quality Certification prior to starting work. This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period, the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the NWP authorization, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the authorization. Please be reminded that no excavated or fill materials may be placed in any waters or wetland areas without prior Federal permit authorization. Please contact this office for any further proposed impacts in any water or wetland areas subject to Department of the Army permitting authority. Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone (919) 846-0648. Sincerely, G.
