On February 24, 1998 Mr. John Dorney and Mr. Pete Colwell from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) conducted a site visit. As a result of this visit, many deficiencies with your site were noted. Specifically, 1) The lower most pond's outlet box was blown out, 2) These were excessive quantities of sediment observed in the stream-likely in violation (as per 15 A NCAC 213 .0200) of the 50 NTU (Nephronic Turbidity Units) State Water Quality Standard, 3) The stream was directly against the retaining wall-which will eventually undercut the wall and likely cause its failure, 4) There was no soil stabilization evident, 5) The dams on the ponds were eroded, and 6) On the upper ponds, there were no plantings evident and no sediment and erosion control measures in place. As a result of these deficiencies, NCDWQ will move to revoke your 401 Water Quality Certification unless these items are rectified within 14 days upon your receipt of this letter. If you should have any questions regarding this matter please feel free to call Mr. Pete Colwell or myself at (919) 733- 1786.

Since the inception of our work on this important project we have diligently pursued and utilized extensive professional planning input from the US Army Corps of Engineers, the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, as well as from our engineering, architectural, marketing, and environmental consultants to develop this project. Preliminary planning consideration of environmental and regulatory issues. Due to the economic, engineering, and spatial requirements of a commercial development of this magnitude and after a thorough alternative analysis, filling of large areas of wetlands on this tract were proven to be unavoidable. Please note that besides providing compensatory mitigation and minimization measures we have reduced scone to the extent possible to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value. Several pre-application meetings and reviews were held with the Corps and NCDEM and we obtain preliminary indications of approval of the plan to submitting the application. We believe that the plan and commitments made in our application reflect a positive and cooperative response to the preliminary negotiations, determinations, and concerns of the US Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. We are requesting your approval of our application with the conceptual mitigation plan in our submittal to help meet our contractual commitment to Lowe's. Since the engineering, architectural, sedimentation and erosion control, stormwater treatment and i /6 r Mr. Robert Johnson, Mr. Steve Chapin, Mr. John R. Dorney Compensatory Wetland Mitigation July 24, 1996 Page Two wetland mitigation, on this complex project need to be designed together the plans will be developed concurrently with the Construction Documents to make sure they are effectively coordinated. Preliminary plans are already in progress. Both the USACE and the NCDEM have expressed a desire to be involved in the design process and review of the mitigation plans and we welcome this. As stated in our application final mitigation plans will be submitted for approval to the NCDEM and the USAGE. Construction of the mitigation sites will occur concurrently with other aspects of the project.
