RE: 401 Water Quality Certification Application; Additional Information
Mill Creek Subdivision; Onslow County, NC
DWQ Project # 09-0587
Dear Joanne:
Thank you for your letter dated June 26th, 2009 in which you request additional information for the
401 WQC application that was submitted for the Mill Creek Subdivision. Below is a response to
each of your comments.
The DWQ requests that the wetland flags be reflagged around the areas where the road
drosses through wetlands and areas of adjacent wetland impacts. The DWQ conducted a site
visit on Monday June 22, 2009 and found areas that looked like wetlands had been impacted
with sediment. The DWQ met with David Murphy on site (6122109) and told him about the
area. The DWQ came back on Thursday June 25, 2009 to re-inspect the removal ofsedinzent
within the wetland area. It was very difficult to determine if the impacts had been removed
due to the missing flags and the existing road alignment compared to the proposed road
alignment.
The Corps-approved wetland line has been reestablished in the areas indicated by DWQ. It is our
understanding that you recently visited the site and agreed that this issue is resolved.
2. For wetland impacts #3b, 4, 5, and 6 no pipes are shown on the plan view or cross sections.
To provide for interconnectivity of hydrology between wetlands the DWQ would require
pipes. Please include pipes and modify the permit application accordingly.
Enclosed are revised cross-sections of all wetland impacts including Impacts #3b, 4, 5, and 6 that
show culverts at these crossings. All wetland areas requiring hydrology connectivity now
include culverts. Page 5 of the PCN application has been revised and is enclosed.
3. On Sheet C-1, in Section H around impact #5, the upland islands look as if there are lot lines
on them. There are no proposed impacts showing road crossings to access these areas.
Please address this issue and modify the permit application accordingly.

No lots are proposed on these upland islands. The lines were from a previous version of the site plan
and were incorrectly shown on the current plan. The lines have been removed (see enclosed plan).
I hope this response adequately addresses your concerns. Please let me know if you need any
additional information. Thank you for your assistance with this project.

Mr. Bailey:

DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
Thank you for your email dated July 10, 2009 where you requested additional information or
clarification regarding the Mill Creek project. Below is a response to each of your concerns.
1). The lot layout sent with the original permit application received May 22, 2009 is still a
concern. I did notice the plat showing that houses could forseeably be sited within the lots of
concern I referenced in my previous request. However, due to the number of lots platted with
wetlands within their boundaries and the proximity of lots to those wetlands, I perceive an
appreciable risk for secondary and cumulative wetland impacts once those lots are built out. As
such I recommend the following: a) replat many of the lots such that houses and accesses could
more reasonably be constructed and buyers could be expected to use their lots without impacting
wetlands, or b) provide a preservation document such as Restrictive Covenants consistent with
the USA CE preservation guidance
(http //wtitin?? saw usace arrrly.nzil/WETLANDS/Mitigation/z?reservation.httnl) to provide
protection for the remaining wetlands on site.
The applicant has agreed to place all wetlands within lots into preservation (12 acres). Enclosed
is the draft preservation language to be reviewed by you and Justin McCorkle of the USACE.
Although the applicant does plan to preserve all remaining wetlands in the future, he does not
want the preservation of wetlands located outside of lots to be a requirement of the permit.
Preserving these wetlands will affect an upcoming appraisal of the land, and subsequently, tax
benefits he may receive when the wetlands are preserved. The applicant is willing to buy into the
Hofinann Forest Mitigation Bank at a 1:1 ratio in order to further satisfy mitigation requirements.
We would be happy to meet with Justin and you to discuss this further, if needed.
2). Although non-riparian wetland mitigation is appropriate for the proposed impacts, your
current compensatory mitigation proposal is insufficient. Consistent with our compensatory
mitigation guidance and permitted projects within the Wilmington District, the compensatory
mitigation proposal for wetland impacts should start at 2:1. Compelling irzformatiorz must be

3805 Wrightsville Ave., Suite 15, Wilmington, NC 28403 • P.O. Box 2522, Wilmington, NC 28402
submitted to justify a compensatory mitigation ratio less than 2:1. Keep in mind that avoidance
and minimization measures, such as preserving remaining wetlands, will be taken into account
when considering the final compensatory mitigation ratio.
In order to satisfy compensatory mitigation requirements, our client has agreed to place all
wetlands within lots into preservation (12 acres; draft language included) and will buy into the
Hoffman Forest Mitigation Bank at the 1:1 ratio.
3). Avoiding impacts to the stream/wetland complex by bridging crossing # 7 at Mill Creek is
duly noted and appreciated. However I need a better plan view showing the approaches, take
off, and landing of the bridge in relation to the wetland line and the stream. I also need a detail
of the bridge design in terms of what type of bridge it will be, how many bents it will have, etc.
The enclosed bridge crossing plan (#7) and bridge details (B-1) illustrate the bridge position to
the wetland and stream and include bridge design details.
4) The new sewer line temporary impact needs to be shown in greater detail than what is shown
on the Crossing # 8 drawings. I believe that a 30' wide temporary impact corridor is proposed.
It is my experience that the permanently maintained corridor typically only needs to be 10' wide.
If possible reduce the temporary impacts to a 10' wide permanently maintained corridor
including the trenchinglsoil disturbance corridor through the wetland area. I will need another
cross section showing the permanently maintained corridor and clearing limits of the sewer
corridor in wetlands. Further, please include a statement that the wetland area within the
corridor will be returned to pre-construction grade and re-seeded with a wetland seed mix.
Also, are the wetlands within this proposed corridor forested or herbaceous?
The initial construction corridor will be 30' wide and will temporarily impact 0.02 acres of
wetlands. This entire corridor will be returned to natural grade, and re-seeded with a wetland
seed mix, however, a 20'-wide corridor will be permanently maintained and mowed, creating a
permanent conversion in habitat. The additional 10' wide temporary impact area will be allowed
to revegetate naturally (Wetland Crossing #8). The proposed sewer run is shown in Wetland
Crossing #8. The wetlands within the proposed corridor have been impacted due to silvicultural
activities but have since revegetated to a forested state.
5) There are 2 amenity ponds (that I could discern) proposed directly next to crossings 2 and 3.
Please provide information on the depth including cross sections of the ponds to show that they
will not drain the hydrology f om the adjacent wetlands. Also, do these ponds have outlets? If
so where are they? Are there any other ponds proposed?
The ponds previously depicted were from an older version of the site plan. They are no longer
proposed and are not depicted in any of the enclosed figures.
6) We agree with the Division of Water Quality letter dated June 26, 2009, Additional
Information Request # 2. Wetland impacts 3b, 4, 5, and 6 should include pipes for conveyance of
hydrology. Please include pipes and modify the permit accordingly.
Enclosed are revised cross-sections of all wetland impacts including Impacts #3b, 4, 5, and 6 that
2
show culverts at these crossings. All wetland areas requiring hydrology connectivity now include
culverts. Page 5 of the PCN application has been revised and is enclosed.
7) We understand that work has started on the project. Please be aware that no work in
jurisdictional areas has been permitted at this time. Further, sediment washing into
jurisdictional areas may or may not have occurred at this time, but evidence of sediment and
erosion control problems is another indicator that secondary and cumulative impacts to
wetlands could be a concern on this project and will be strongly considered during the
permitting process.
Joanne Steenhuis with DWQ has visited the site and this issue has been addressed.
I hope this information adequately answers your concerns. Please contact me if you have any
additional questions. Thank you for your assistance with this project.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts were minimized by careful site design. Lots were rearranged to reduce impacts, especially near Impacts #3 and
#4. All proposed impacts are final. A bridge will be constructed at Road Crossing #7 to avoid stream impacts. Road
layout utilized existing roadways through wetlands. Crossing #8 will only be a temporary impact.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction of a bridge at Road Crossing #7 will ensure that no equipment will disturb the wetland stream area. Silt
fencing will be used during construction to reduce sediment from eroding into the wetland areas.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? ® Yes ? No
2b. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply): ? DWQ ® Corps
2c. If yes, which mitigation option will be used for this
project? Payment will be made to the HFWMB if
wetlands are considered non-riparian. ® Mitigation bank
? Payment to in-lieu fee program

? Permittee Responsible Mitigation
3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank
