Mrs. Karoly,
Please note the change in our business address above. We are scheduled to have our new phone service
installed at our building this week. I apologize for any difficulty your office may have experienced in
attempting to reach us.
As requested in Ian's email dated 01/04/07, enclosed are (5) copies of the revisions and clarifications to our
original permit application provided to Roger Edward in addition to the requested additional information
regarding the specific Nationwide Permit being requested.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spoke with Mr. David Baker from the US Army Corp of Engineers and he has advised me that the specific
Nationwide Permit we have applied for would be a NWP #39. We will also review the General Certification
guidelines of a NWP#39 to insure that all appropriate criteria are met as requested.

I have also provided the following transcript of Pangaea Development Services letter dated December 18,
2006 which was in response to Roger Edwards(of North Carolina Department of Water Quality) letter dated
December 13, 2006 on the subject addressing additional information and clarifications to our original permit
submittal:
Roger,
Please find listed below, Pangaea Development Services response to your request for additional information
on the subject. Our responses are referenced by Section number as per your letter.
15A NCAC 02H .0506 M:
This culvert installation is being proposed to provide a stream crossing to allow for access to the south-
westerly side of the property which consists is dominated by very steep slopes(many of which are>18%).
The area to the westerly side of this crossing is ultimately planned for a future residential development with
home sites to be located on both sides of the stream. The land to the south and south-easterly of the proposed
crossing is higher in elevation and as such, poses a much greater impact to the land and as such, be
prohibitive in both cost and impact to consider as an alternative. Based upon the topography and layout of
the property,the proposed crossing presents the least possible impact to both the stream and surrounding
land and as such, all other alternative designs would be prohibitive in cost, impact and overall feasibility.
Item VI. 1.(404 Application):
This item description was in error as it only included the length of proposed culvert installation and did not
include the overall impact to the stream as required. The overall impact will be 50 linear feet as outlined in
Item VI. 4. and 6.
Item III. (404 Application):
Our 404 Application for this project entails the installation of 40 linear feet of culvert in an unnamed
tributary. However,the land use for this project(exclusive of the 404 culvert installation application)
involves the development of the property into individual, residential home sites. As this project is still in its
infancy,the developer is still in the early stages of developing a building/home site layout. There have been
no site plans or proposed building sites completed to date. Also, as only the first—75 acres of this property
has been field inspected and evaluated to date,the remaining property is not included or should it be
considered in this 404 application. The (1) unnamed tributary outlined on this 404 application originates
from an underground springhead located on the south-easterly section of this—75 acre portion of the overall
parcel. A map delineating this(and all known)watercourse(s)on this portion of the property has been
attached with the proposed stream crossing delineated. There are no wetlands on this property.
Item X1. (404 Application):
There has been an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan submitted to NCDENR(for approval) for the
initial development of this—75 acres of the parcel and outlines stormwater controls to be used during the
construction phase of this development(—2-3 year life). This ECP Plan outlines only temporary controls and
as such, a thorough stormwater control system is required for the planned final, completed development.
There has(to date)been no long-term stormwater controls designed or approved for this development that
we(Pangaea Development Services) are aware of.

Item XII. (404 Application):
The developer plans to utilize underground septic systems for each individual home site. The developer is in
the early stages of developing both an individual building/home site layout and the associated septic system
layouts for this phase of the project.
We trust that this addresses each of the questions outlined in your letter of December 13, 2006. Please advise
if you need any additional information that may not be included herein and we will expeditiously provide it
to you. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

I trust that this addresses all of the outstanding questions regarding this subject in the requested quantities.
