Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination for tract 552to on which you indicated your intent to clear some land. The attached map has been delineated to show the area(s) in question. Each area to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification. Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map. X W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS technical assistance, or avoid' violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division of Environmental Management (DEM) regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be in writing from the Soil Conservation Service prior to clearing land. R...Q ?wr.n? a Cn 00, -026 ` ,>r.,- X NW- Non wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and utilized without violating Farm Bill. NW- Non wetland - Area has hydric soils but for Farm Bill purposes only, area is non wetland due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23/85. You still need to check with the US Army Corp of Engineers or the NC DEM to determine if additional permits are necessary prior to clearing. CW - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration. If you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption. If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management. To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands. I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on the letterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter. Sincerely, 4d?s Michael E.
