Please find enclosed seven copies of an application and associated documentation for a Nationwide 18
Fill Permit Application tashade 0.073 acres of cypress swamp forest at the Edenton Cotton Mill in
Edenton, Chowan County. The Nationwide 18 Fill Permit Application was originally submitted to Mr.
William Wescott in November of 2003. The USACE approved the Nationwide 18 Fill Permit for
shading of wetlands at the site on December 14, 2003. A 401 Water Quality Certification was checked
on the original forms. However, the former consultant did not submit any copies or a check to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), siting that the project was exempt from DWQ certification
requirements.
Proposed mitigation at the site was originally preservation through conservation easement at a 60:1 ratio,
and creation of 0.10 acres of cypress swamp forest. A permit modification request was submitted to the
USACE on April 4, 2005 requesting that the mitigation requirements be reduced to include only the
preservation of wetlands through conservation easement.
The enclosed permit application is a request for 401 Water Quality Certification. The project as
proposed has already begun, however, there have been no impacts to wetlands to date.
The proposed project is shading of 0.073 acres of cypress swamp forest in Chowan County at the
Edenton Cotton Mill Site. The cotton mill is being renovated to create multi family and single family
residences. The developers propose to construct four single family units on piles over the cypress swamp
forest on site. The building construction will permanently shade the wetlands.
The following figures and documentation have been included with the permit application:
• Original Site Survey (Hyman and Robey)
• Proposed Site Plan divided into three sheets (sheets 1-3)
• Copy of original Nationwide 18 Fill Permit Application prepared by Roger Schecter
• Copy of relevant portion of USGS Topographic Quadrangle-Edenton
• Copy of Permit Modification Request-USACE
• Copy of Agent Authorization Letter

Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
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.
Due to the size of the development and existing impervious surfaces. additional site area was
required to adequately size the stormwater detention ponds. Therefore the anticipated number of
single family residential units was decreased.
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 March 9, 2000, 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
Page 9 of 13
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 NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/strm( ,ide. lit nil.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Preservation of 6.01 acres (all remaining wetland acreage on site) of wetlands through a
conservation easement was proposed as mitigation at the site. In addition the former
Environmental Consultant offered wetlands creation at a ratio greater than one to one A
copy of the original PCN has been included as an Attachment to this document Please note
a formal permit modification request was sent to Tracey Wheeler on March 30, 2005 The
modification request asked for the elimination of the wetlands creation as mitigation at the
site. The originally offered mitigation was found to be excessive.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the

downstream from the property.
A separate Stormwater Management Plan has been submitted and approved. Please note, this
request for 401 Water Quality Certification is an after the fact event. Many aspects of the project
excluding the items discussed herein have already begun.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
All wastewater will be handled by the Town of Edenton.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
The applicants retained the services of an environmental consultant who failed to submit the
required documentation and Processing fee to the DWQ when the permit was submitted to the
USACE. The consultant felt that the proiect was exempt from DWQ 401 Water Quality
Certification because the impacts to the wetlands were shading and not fill. Discussions with the
DWQ in the Washington Regional Office indicate that the DWQ would still require five copies
of the PCN and a processing fee for this type of project. The USACE General Permit was issued
in December 2004 and the developers are ready to begin work on construction of the single
family homes. Therefore your timely cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

This letter serves as a formal request for a permit modification for the above referenced General Permit
issued to Thomas Wilson owner of the property referenced as the 14.36 acre Edenton Cotton Mill
Property. _
The proposed project is the shading of 0.073 acres of cypress swamp forest with pile supported
residential homes. The original permit offered mitigation through a conservation easement at a ratio of
60:1, and creation of 0.10 acres of cypress swamp forest. The original permit application was prepared
by a different consultant and upon review by Quible & Associates, P.C. (Quible) the mitigation offered in
the permit was found to be excessive for the work proposed. Therefore, on behalf of the Edenton Cotton
Mill, Quible respectfully requests that the mitigation requirements be reduced to the 60:1 preservation to
conservation easement, and omit the 0.10 acre cypress swamp forest creation.
A sample conservation easement will be forwarded to the Edenton Cotton Mill for preparation by their
attorney(s). During conversations and meetings with you on this matter I understand that you have a
copy of the permit on file. I have not included a copy of the permit for this reason. However, if you
require an additional copy or any related materials please do not hesitate to contact me immediately at
252.261.3300 or via electronic mail.
Sincerely,
arren Ead , G.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Fedcral Register on March 9, 2000, 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.

EDENTON COTTON MELL DEVELOPMENT
Town of Edenton; County of Chowan
North Carolina
PAGE 13
IIh9 Existing Development
The Old Edenton Cotton Mill and surrounding out buildings arc the dominant features
covering most of the 14 acres of upland on the site. The Mill building itself, an excellent
example of Italianatc Revival, is listed on the National Historic Register by the National
Park Service. As shown by the Plat "Existing Site Development", the area is almost fully
developed A large portion of the area was historically filled, raising the site elevation to
x-10 to +14 feet. Steep contour lines along the eastern and southern alignments of the
cypress swamp forest, and the presence of solid fill just below the surface soil attest to
historical disturbance. Water access is available via a small ramp and dock to Queen
Anne Creek at the eastern boundary of the site.
The area surrounding the Mill is residential in nature and the area is undergoing some
reconstruction and re-development of old mill houses, as well as new residential
development.
II1.10 Proposed Development
The project proposes to convert the sprawling complex into a mixed-use development
primarily utilizing the existing buildings. These will primarily be for residential uses,
while others will be converted to modest commercial uses intended to support the
residents of the complex and adjoining mill village.
The 49,200 square foot (sf) Mill will be divided into 29 residential condominiums from
1,435 sf to 3,100 sf. The Mill basement is within the 100-year flood plain and will be
used only as unconditioned storage. The existing 6,200 sf boiler and engine houses will
be converted into a mix of professional office and caf6 space. The existing 3.600 sf
picker room will be converted into professional office space, and in the mill yard, the
existing 9,900 sf cotton house will be converted to retail. Also in the mill yard, the
existing 3,800 sf warehouse w111 be divided into two residential units.
The existing out building located to the east of the asphalt driveway and the wetland line
will be removed as the majority of this area is needed for construction of the required

stormwater detention pond, Additional area dedications are required to meet the Town
of Edenton Unified Zoning Ordinance which requires a minimum of 199 spaces. These
are shown at the center of the development and depicted in the Plat. Proposed Site
Development.
New construction is proposed to add ten, two-story wood framed houses ( Creek Houses)
as shown on the Plat, Proposed Site Development. Each of these homes will contain
between 800 sf and 1,500 st. The four units just to the east of the old warehouse are
proposed to be constructed on pilings and would be elevated over approximately 3,200 sf
of wetlands (see response to items Vt. VIi and V111).
Proposed Impacts
The Applicant proposes to construct four of the Creek. Houses partially over the
delineated wetlands as shown in the Plat, Proposed Site Development. The shaded area
depicted is approximately 3,200 --f and will consist ofpilinps. No fill or related
alteration of the wetlands is proposed and the primary impact will be a shading of this
area of understory of the swamp forest habitat.
Impact Justification
In the early planning/design phasc5, twelve Creek i4ouses were anticipated in the existing
massed area to the east of the mill complex (see flat, Existing; Sitc Development). As
development plans progressed considerably more area than was planned would need to
be set aside to meet stormwater and parking requirements respectively from the State and
To%vn.
In particular, the size of the detention pond in volume and area was recalculated with the
increased impervious surface from the required additional parking to accommodate an
85% coverage. The calculations (attached to this Addendum) require a pond of
approximately 5 acres and a storage area of 10,121 sf' (See Plat, Proposed Site
Development)
The alternative chosen was to reduce the number of proposed units from 12 to 10, and to
site a portion of four of the foot prints over 3,200 sf of historically filled wetlands.
No other impacts to wetlands are expected.
V111 Mitigation
in addition to preserving the 6.01 acres of the existing 6.08 acres of wetlands at the site,
the applicant proposes to mitigate the .073 acres (3.200 sf) of shaded wetlands by
