The property, which is adjacent to Lockwood Folly River, is located in Lockwood Folly Golf Links, Lot No. 309, on River Road, near Varnum, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The purpose of this site visit and the meeting was to inspect the property for waters and wetlands subject to Department of the Army (DA) permitting authority and to discuss your proposed plans to construct a home and a bulkhead on the lot. You informed Mr. Sugg of your proposed placement plans to construct a home and a bulkhead on the property. You further explained that a small portion of the home and the bulkhead would be encroaching on the wetland area of Mr. Sugg's established wetland/upland boundary. Mr. Sugg explained to you that issuance of Department of the Army authorization must precede any placement of excavated or fill material in Section 404 wetlands waterward of the pink flags on your property and that any unauthorized activity would be a violation of Federal law. However, he also informed you that the proposed activity may be authorized under authority of our Nationwide Permit No. 18. The application, that was handed to you during the meeting, should be filled out completely and returned to our office. Also, reference is made to the survey plat dated March 9, 1993, of this property. The survey plat accurately reflects the limits of wetlands on the property. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination of the limits of wetland's may be relied upon for a period not to exceed 3 years from the date of your survey plat. Enclosed is a copy of a Wetland Determination Form, providing specific information obtained at stations on your property. The data on this form support the delineation of wetlands on your property in accordance with the criteria set forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Wetland Delineation Manual. ~ / 4 -2- If you have any questions or comments, please address them to Mr. Sugg, Regulatory Branch, Wilmington District, at telephone (919) 251-4611 and he will gladly assist you in any way he can.

Rd. Lockwood Folly Subdivision in Brunswick County for residential lot fill. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses which would be removed by this project. These uses are pollutant removal and shoreline stabilization. Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built in wetlands. Therefore, we are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification. Until we receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the N.C. Division of Coastal Management place your project on administrative hold. Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be constructed as planned. Specifically can you construct your residential fill on a smaller portion of the wetlands or on nearby uplands? Any documentation such as maps and narrative which you can supply to address upland alternatives may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter. Sincerely, Jo n R.
