N,C. Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535

Dear Mr. Dorney:

The purpose of this correspondence is for Mitchell & Associates, Ine.,
representing Wilson Christian Academy, to submit a Department of the Army
Nationwide Permit Application for placement of fill material within
approximately 2.5 acres of Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands on my client's
property, located east of N,C.S.R. 1158 (Wilson Christian School Road),
north of N.C.S.R. 1157 (Merck Road), approximately 2.5 miles west of
Wilson, Wilson County, North Carolina,

The purpose of the proposed fill in wetlands is to facilitate the expansion of an
existing athletic facility located on property owned by the applicant, The
expansion plans include construction of a football field and parking area
adjacent to existing recreation facilities. The majority of the facility will be
located on uplands, however, insufficient high ground exists in order to make
the proposed project viable.

The applicant has considered other alternatives to the placement of fill
material within wetlands to accomplish their project goal, however, the
proposed plan is the only practicable alternative available. Other alternatives
considered were not practicable, significantly more expensive to the applicant,
or involved even greater wetland impacts. The project has been designed to
avoid and minimize potential adverse effects to other wetland areas.
Additional measures will be undertaken to maintain the work in strict
conformance with all permit conditions pursuant to Nationwide Permit No.
26, as well as other state and local requirements.

By copy of this correspondence and completed Pre-Discharge Notification
procedure, and am requesting Department of Environmental Management

Nationwide Permit No. 26 application. Please contact me at your convenience
should you have any questions. Thank you for your time and prompt
attention to this matter.

DATE: September 4, 1996

SUBJECT: 401 Certitlcation Application tor Wilson Chrislian Academy, Wilson Counly,
I Tnllumed Tributary to BJoomery Swamp, Neuse River Basin, 960731

The North Clu'olillll Wildlifb Resoul'oes Commission has completed a Ttwicw of the
subject application. Biologists on our staff are familiar with fish and wildlife habitat associated
with the proposed project area and n site visit was made on August 27, 1996. Our commenLs are
provided in accordance with certain provisions ofthe Fish and Wildlire Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 C.S.c. 661 et scq.), and Section401.b of the Clean Wal~r Act of 1977
(as amended), and NUlth Carolina Gcncrnl Stlltues (U.S. 113-131 ot soq.).

Th" applicant propose~ to fill 2.5 acres of wetlands for a football field. There arc
approximately Ii vc acres of wetlands on the project site. The dominant vegetation of the wetland
is spikerushes, bulrushes, smartweed, juncus , arrowhead and cattails.

Although the urea is fragmented it is adjacent h) Bloomery Swamp nnd provides some
water quality thnctions and is important to aquatic wildlife. During our site visit fr<.lgs, grf;.:at
blue herons, alld grcen back herons were observed using this wetland. Additionally, the site
could be a valuable asset to the sch(lollor environmental education.

We have the following conunents and recommendations concel'11ing this application:

1. This project is not water dependent; therefore, the applicant should look at upland
alternatives that will avoid the need to impact the wetlands or make modiJications for
siting tho project that will minimize impacts.

2. All remaining wetlands and miti~ation arefl~ !lhould be protected by deed restrictions to
prevent future destruction by current or future owners.

3. The wetland type to be dl,:SlTOycd if{ relatively easy to crellte. Thcrc1hre, the applicl1llt.
should mitigute imlluct~ llt (l ratio of 1: 1 (crcated:destroyed) to help replace the lo!;t
habitat. This coul( be perlbnncd during construction of Lhe Held.
