Dear Mr. Edwards:
This letter is in reference to your Department of the Army (DA) permit applications received
November 19, 2018 submitted to the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the
construction associated with proposed residential development on three lots, within waters
adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, located at 4905, 4907, and 4909 E. Beach Drive, in Oak Island,
Brunswick County, North Carolina.
This letter further notifies you that your DA permit application is insufficient to fully
evaluate your proposal. The applications did not contain a mitigation statement/plan.
Compensatory mitigation is required for the unavoidable impacts to the aquatic environment.
Please see below for further explanation on each item:
1. Compensatory Mitigation: An appropriate compensatory mitigation plan is required to
fully offset unavoidable impacts to WOUS in accordance with 33 CFR 332 -
Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources. The application does not
provide a mitigation statement or plan.
Once the mitigation proposal is determined by the Corps to be appropriate, the mitigation plan
must contain the elements described at 33 CFR 332.4(c)(2) through (c)(14).
Additionally, please note the preference for purchasing mitigation bank credits to offset
impacts at 33 CFR 332.3(b). If mitigation bank credit purchase is not proposed, the
justification for utilizing other forms of mitigation should be provided.

-2 -
The Corps requests that the applicant provide the requested information within 30
days of the date of this letter. If no response is received by then, the application may need to
be withdrawn. Should you have any questions or comments regarding this request for
additional information, please contact Liz Hair at the above address, by phone at (9 10)
251-4049, or by email at sarah.e.hairkusace.army.mil.
