Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-1188, 919-733-3391 Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: John Dorney Water Quality Section Division of Environmental Management, DE?HNR FROM: Franklin T. McBride, Manager ?????cJ, Habitat Conservation Program Date: December 1, 1994 Subject: Section 401 Water Quality Certification Application for Rivercreek Subdivision, Ronnie Stroud, 107 Commerce St., Greenville, Pitt County, North Carolina. (Project # 94990) Staff biologists with the Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the project with regard to associated impacts on wildlife and fishery resources in the area. An onsite investigation was conducted on November 19, 1994. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.) and Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (as amended) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). The applicant is proposing to fill approximately 1.73 acres of 1404' wetlands to provide a roadway access and construct additional lots and roadways for a proposed subdivision. The property consists of 109 acres of which approximately 23 acres are 1404' wetlands. The wetlands on the project site provide valuable wildlife habitat and serve as travel corridors for numerous species of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. These wetlands, which are hydraulically connected to the Tar- Pamlico River Basin, protect and enhance water quality in this nutrient sensitive system by filtering and buffering stormwater runoff. The project as proposed would immediately destroy 1.73 acres of wetlands and another 21 acres of 1404' wetlands will be threatened by future development. We have determined that this project is inconsistent with our Policies and Guidelines for .A . ?ti Ronnie Stroud 2 December 1, 1994 Conservation of Wetlands and Aquatic Habitats. We also believe that this project is inconsistent with the Environmental Protection Agency's Section 404(b)(1) guidelines in that the project does not constitute a water dependent activity. However, we will not recommend that a 401 Water Quality Certification be denied if deed restrictions, prohibiting perspective owners from impacting wetlands, is required for all lots with wetlands. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any concerns about our comments, please contact Brad E. Hammers at (919)-939-1167.

Box 1000 a Raleigh, NC 27626 Washington, NC 27889-1 OCT 4 1994 Dear Messrs. Wicker and Dorney: The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permits 14 and 26, and a Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the project to be known as Rivercreek Subdivision. The project is located near Grimesland, NC (Pitt County) and is bordered by NC SR 1567 on the northern and eastern boundary as shown on the enclosed plans and Grimesland, N.C. USGS Topo Quad vicinity map. The Corps approved wetland delineation is shown on the attached map. The delineations of impact areas have been approved by Mr. Henry Wicker of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Fill in the wetlands will be required to construct roads and utilize lots. It will be necessary to fill 1.73 acres (see map) of jurisdictional wetlands above headwaters for placement of proposed roadways and lots utilizing Nationwide Permits 14 and 26. A total of 0.16 acres (see map) will be filled for a road crossing under Nationwide Permit 14. The road crossing is perpendicular to wetland alignment, in order to minimize impacts. Impacts to isolated wetland pockets totals 0.29 (see map) acres under Nationwide Permit 26. Wetlands totaling 1.29 acres (0.89 acres for roads and 0.40 acres for lots)(see map) will be impacted under Nationwide Permit 26 for additional lots, and roads that can not be permitted under Nationwide 14. Prior forestry practices denuded all vegetation from the impact areas within the past 10 years. Resulting wetlands are rutted and full of scrubby vegetation. N.C. DEM wetland rating sheets average 23.5 in areas of proposed impacts (see attached forms, photos and impact map ). No high quality cypress-gum swamp wetlands (N.C. DEM average wetland rating 60.3) associated with the property will be impacted by construction activities. The roadway through a high quality wetland area is an improvement to an existing road bed, minimizing impacts to the high quality wetland.
