Executive Summary

The 70-Acre Matthews Commons Subdivision Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately three miles northeast of the Interstate 485 - Providence Road interchange
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project proposes to develop approximately 70 acres of
fields and woods into a residential subdivision. Centex Homes has contracted Carolina Wetland
Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for this project (Attachment B).

On behalf of Centex Homes, Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) is submitting this permit in
response to your Notice of Violation letter (NOV-2004-SP-0005), dated August 4, 2004
regarding the Matthews Commons Subdivision (Attachment 1). The original site plan proposed
impacting 567 linear feet of important stream channels and .133 acre of jurisdictional wetlands
and unimportant intermittent stream channels (Attachment J). Due to field conditions during
construction, the original design for the crossing of Stream B had to be changed in the field to
correctly adjust for road elevations and align the culvert with the existing stream channel.
Unavoidable impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas now total approximately 141 linear feet of
Important stream channels and 0.056 acre of jurisdictional wetland areas and Unimportant
Intermittent stream channels.
CWS is submitting this application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit
General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality
Certification No. 3362 (Attachment C). Since impacts have been minimized to less than 150
linear feet of important stream channels and % acre of wetlands, mitigation in the form of buffers
is currently being proposed for this project. Stream buffers will be maintained to the maximum
extent practicable along on-site undisturbed stream segments.

Existing Conditions
The 70-Acre Matthews Commons Subdivision Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately three miles northeast of the Interstate 485 - Providence Road interchange
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project proposes to develop approximately 70 acres of
fields and woods into a residential subdivision. Centex Homes has contracted Carolina Wetland
Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for this project (Attachment B).
The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Current Land Use
The current land use for the site is residential with maintained fields and undeveloped wooded
areas. Dominant canopy vegetation within the project area includes red maple (Ater n1brum),
tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyracifltra), red elm (Ubnus nibra),
willow oak (Ouercus phellos), northern red oak (Ouercus nibra), white oak (Ouercus alba),
green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red cedar (Junipenus virginiana), and Virginia pine
(Pmus virgin ana). Dominant ground cover consists of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), spice
bush (Lindera benzoin), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia),
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), ;rape vine (Vitis rotundifolia), soft rush
(Juncus eff rsus), wild onion (Allium canadense), various sedges (Carex spp.), spleenwort
(Asplenium platyneuron), and Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides). The majority of
wooded areas will be preserved as on-site "tree save" areas.
According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County' (Attachment A - Figure 2), on-site soils
consist of Cecil sandy clay loam (CeB2 and CeD2) and Helena sandy loam (HeB). Cecil sandy clay
loam soils are well drained and exhibit moderate permeability. and medium water capacity. Helena
sandy loam soils are located along the site's larger drainage features and typically exhibit slow
permeability, low water capacity, and a high shrink-swell potential. Helena sandy loam soils are
known to contain inclusions of hydric soil within Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.'

Jurisdictional Delineation
On December 10, 2002, and May 8, 2003, CWS's Gregg Antemann, Andrea Hughes, and Isaac
Hinson delineated on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.s within the project area. Jurisdictional
areas were delineated on-site using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site
Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual' Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to recent North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)5 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream
Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms representative of Stream
B have been included as Attachments E and F. Please note that all on-site stream channels were
sampled by two biologists using a D-shaped dip net in accordance with the stream classification
method developed by NCDWQ. Intermittent/Perennial break points were determined by the
absence or presence of organisms that require continuous flow.
The results of the on-site field investigations conducted by CWS indicate that there are five
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A-E) and six jurisdictional wetland areas
(Wetlands AA-FF) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figures 3a and 3b).
On-Site streams are tributaries to West Fork Twelvemile Creek. West Fork Twelvemile Creek is
part of the Catawba River basin (HU# 03050103-010)6 and is rated "Class C Waters" by the
NCDWQ. On-Site jurisdictional areas are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Jurisdictional features
have been verified by Mr. Chapin of the USACE. Signed copies of the two Wetland Boundary
Surveys for this site have been included as Attachment A - Figures 3a and 3b.
3 "Jurisdictional waters of the U.S." includes essentially all surface waters such as: all navigable waters and their tributaries, all
interstate waters and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.

Stream B generally flows southeast across the western portion of the site and begins as an
Unimportant Intermittent channel (Attachment A - Figure 3a). The Unimportant Interrnittent
portion of Stream B is approximately 426 linear feet in length (0.024 acre) and exhibits moderate
sinuosity and flow, a two to three-foot average ordinary high water width, and channel substrate
consisting of silt to sand. A weak presence of benthic macro invertebrates consisting of a midge
(Chironomid) was sampled on the day of the field investigation (Attachments E and F - SCP2).
This portion of stream channel scored 25.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream
Classification Form. A photograph of Unimportant Intermittent Stream B is included as
Attachment G - Photograph A.
Stream B transitions into a Perennial stream channel at an approximately two-foot nick point.
The Perennial portion of Stream B is approximately 686 linear feet in length and exhibits strong
sinuosity, channel substrate consisting of coarse sand to gravel, and a three to four-foot average
ordinary high water width. Amphibians (salamanders) and benthic macroinvertebrates
(amphipods and midges) were also observed within the channel during the field investigation
(Attachments E and F - SCP3). This portion of Stream B scored 33.5 out of a possible 71 points
on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form.

that would be affected by the project. In a response letter dated October 16, 2003, SHPO replied
that "[They] have conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which
would be affected by the project. Therefore, [they] have no comment on the project as proposed"
(Attachment H).
Protected Species
Letters were forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) and U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on August 25, 2003 to determine the presence of any federally-
listed or candidate endangered or threatened species or critical habitat located within the project
area. In a response letter dated August 29, 2003, the NCNHP replied that "The [NCNHP] has no
record of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at, nor within a
mile of the site" (Attachment H). To date, no response has been received from the USFWS.
Purpose and Need for the Project
This project proposes to develop approximately 70 acres of fields and woods into a residential
subdivision. The purpose of this project is to provide single-family housing to an area that is
experiencing significant population growth. The proposed site plan includes 225 home sites, a
community swimming pool, and approximately 17 acres of open space/tree save areas
(Attachment I - Figure 4).
Avoidance and Minimization
The project designers used a proactive approach in designing the subdivision to minimize
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. First, jurisdictional areas were delineated and
verified prior to the design phase of the project. The site plan has reduced impacts to on-site
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent practicable while still achieving the
project goals.
The site plan proposes to create 225 home sites and approximately 17 acres of "Tree Save" areas
(Attachment I - Figure 4). Through the elimination of 35 home sites and the redesign of a cul-
de-sac in the southwest corner of the site, this plan reduced impacts to 141 linear feet of
important channels and 0.056 acre of wetlands and unimportant channels. This plan also
provides approximately 10 acres of riparian area along the streams on the site.

Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
CWS is submitting this permit in response to your Notice of Violation letter (NOV-2004-SP-
0005), dated August 4, 2004, regarding the Matthews Commons Subdivision (Attachment I).
Due to field conditions during construction, the original design for the crossing had to be
changed in the field to correctly adjust for road elevations and align the culvert with the existing
stream channel (Attachment A - Figures 4a and 4b). These changes have resulted in an
additional 49 linear feet of impacts to Perennial Stream B and 39 linear feet (0.004 acre) of
Unimportant Intermittent Stream B. As constructed, the total stream impacts for the project are
77 linear feet of Perennial Stream, 64 linear feet of Important Intermittent Stream, and 271 linear
feet (0.011 acre) Unimportant Intermittent Stream. Please note that although this change has
resulted in additional impacts, the thresholds for Nationwide Permit No. 39 have not been
exceeded (i.e., 300 linear feet of important stream channel). Attached please find copies of the
Nationwide Permit No. 39 issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Action Id No.
200430190) and Water Quality Certification (NCDWQ No. 03-1501) issued by your office
(Attachment J). All proposed culverts will be buried in accordance with the Wilmington District
Regional Condition for newly constructed culverts (i.e., culverts will be buried up to one foot).
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas are summarized in Table 2.

On behalf of Centex Homes, CWS is submitting this application with attachments in accordance
1 with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39
and Water Quality Certification No. 3362 (Attachment C).
Compensatory Mitigation
Since impacts have been minimized to less than 150 linear feet of perennial stream channels and
1 '/2 acre of wetlands, mitigation in the form of buffers is currently being proposed for this project.
Stream buffers will be maintained to the maximum extent practicable along on-site undisturbed
stream segments. These buffers are represented in Figure 5 (Attachment I) as the "Tree Save"
r areas located along the project's southern, southwestern, and southeastern boundaries. These
areas are currently forested with a mature canopy. Please see the attached USACE and NCDWQ
stream classification forms used to determine which channels are perennial and which channels
are intermittent (Attachments E and F). Stream Classification Points (SCP's) have been labeled

VII. Impact Justification (avoidance and Minimization)
The project designers used a proactive approach in designing the subdivision to minimize
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. First jurisdictional areas were delineated and
verified prior to the design phase of the project. The site plan has reduced impacts to on-site
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent practicable while still achieving the
project goals. The site plan proposes to create 225 home sites and approximately 17 acres of
"Tree Save" areas (Attachment I - Fi(7ure 4). Through the elimination of 35 home sites and the
redesign of a cul-de-sac in the southwest corner of the site this plan reduced impacts to 92 linear
feet of important channels and 0.052 acre of wetlands and unimportant channels This plan also
provides 10 acres of riparian area along the streams on the site
VIII. Mitigation
Since impacts have been minimized to less than 150 linear feet of perennial stream channels and
'/2 acre of wetlands. mitigation in the form of buffers is currently being proposed for this project
Stream buffers will be maintained to the maximum extent practicable along on-site undisturbed.
stream segments. These buffers are represented in Fi<7ure 4 (Attachment I) as the "Tree Save"
areas located along the project's southern, southwesternand southeastern boundaries These
areas are currently forested with a mature. Please see the attached USACE and NCDWQ stream
classification forms used to determine which channels are perennial and which channels are
intermittent (Attachments E and F). Stream Classification Points (SCP's) have been labeled on
the site plan (Attachment I - Fi;ure 4) with the respective NCDWO score for vour reference.

The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or
priority natural areas at the site nor within a mile of the site. Although our maps do not show
records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not necessarily mean that
they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural
Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the
project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority
natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<wtiv`v.nesparks.net/nhp/searcli.html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant
natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-71-8697 if you have questions or need further information.

70-Acre Matthews Commons Subdivision Project November 24, 2003
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Application Project No. 2003-0447

Executive Summary

The 70-Acre Matthews Commons Subdivision Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately three miles northeast of the Interstate 485 - Providence Road interchange
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project proposes to develop approximately 70 acres of
fields and woods into a residential subdivision. Centex Homes has contracted Carolina Wetland
Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for this project (Attachment B).
The results of the on-site field investigations conducted by CWS indicate that there are five
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A-E) and six jurisdictional wetland areas
(Wetlands AA-FF) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figures 3a and 3b). In an
effort to reduce impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas, an alternatives analysis was conducted to
determine the least damaging plan for the project. Three Alternative Site Plans
(Alternatives 1-3) were considered for the design of this subdivision. The preferred site plan
(Alternative 3) has reduced impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the maximum
extent practicable while still achieving the project goals. Unavoidable impacts to on-site
jurisdictional areas will total approximately 92 linear feet of important stream channels and 0.05
acre of jurisdictional wetland areas and Unimportant Intermittent stream channels. On behalf of
Centex Homes, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application with attachments
in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide
Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3362 (Attachment C). Since impacts have
been minimized to less than 150 linear feet of important stream channels and'/2 acre of wetlands,
mitigation in the form of buffers is currently being proposed for this project. Stream buffers will
be maintained to the maximum extent practicable along on-site undisturbed stream segments.

Existing Conditions
The 70-Acre Matthews Commons Subdivision Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately three miles northeast of the Interstate 485 - Providence Road interchange
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project proposes to develop approximately 70 acres of
fields and woods into a residential subdivision. Centex Homes has contracted Carolina Wetland
Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for this project (Attachment B).
The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Current Land Use
The current land use for the site is residential with maintained fields and undeveloped wooded
areas. Dominant canopy vegetation within the project area includes red maple (Ater rubrttm),
tulip poplar (Liriodendron adipifera), sweetgum (Liquidanlbar styracifloa), red elm (Ubnos rttbra),
willow oak (Quercus phellos), northern red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Quercus alba),
green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red cedar (Junipents virginiana), and Virginia pine
(Pines virginiana). Dominant ground cover consists of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), spice
bush (Lindera bencoin), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia),
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), grape vine (Vitis rotundifolia), soft rush
(Juncos eff tsus), wild onion (Allium canadense), various sedges (Carex spp.), spleenwort
(Asplenium platyneuron), and Christmas fern (Polystichtun acrostichoides). The majority of
wooded areas will be preserved as on-site "tree save" areas.
According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County' (Attachment A - Figure 2), on-site soils
consist of Cecil sandy clay loam (CeB2 and CeD2) and Helena sandy loam (HeB). Cecil sandy
clay loam soils are well drained and exhibit moderate permeability and medium water capacity.
Helena sandy loam soils are located along the site's larger drainage features and typically exhibit
slow permeability, low water capacity, and a high shrink-swell potential. Helena sandy loam soils
are known to contain inclusions of hydric soil within Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.'
Jurisdictional Delineation
On December 10, 2002, and May 8, 2003, CWS's Gregg Antemann, Andrea Hughes, and Isaac
Hinson delineated on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.' within the project area. Jurisdictional
areas were delineated on-site using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site
'United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 1980. Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual.` Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of on-site wetlands and adjacent
upland areas have been included as Attachment D. Jurisdictional stream channels were classified
according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)' and USACE guidance.
NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms
representative of Streams A-E have been included as Attachments E and F. Please note that all
on-site stream channels were sampled by two biologists using a D-shaped dip net in accordance
with the stream classification method developed by NCDWQ. Intermittent/Perennial break points
were determined by the absence or presence of organisms that require continuous flow.
The results of the on-site field investigations conducted by CWS indicate that there are five
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A-E) and six jurisdictional wetland areas
(Wetlands AA-FF) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figures 3a and 3b).
On-Site streams are tributaries to West Fork Twelvemile Creek. West Fork Twelvemile Creek is
part of the Catawba River basin (HU# 03050103-010)" and is rated "Class C Waters" by the
NCDWQ. On-Site jurisdictional areas are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Jurisdictional features
have been verified by Mr. Chapin of the USACE. Signed copies of the two Wetland Boundary
Surveys for this site have been included as Attachment A - Figures 3a and 3b.

linear feet to its confluence with Stream B (Attachment A - Figure 3a). This stream channel was
evaluated to be Perennial and exhibits strong sinuosity, moderate flow with a three to four-foot
average ordinary high water width, and substrate consisting of coarse sand to cobble.
Amphibians (frogs and salamanders) and benthic macroinvertebrates (caddisfly, dragonfly, and
damselfly larvae) were also observed within the channel during the field investigation
(Attachments E and F - SCP1). Stream A scored 34.25 out of a possible 71 points on the
® NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of Perennial Stream A is included as
Attachment G - Photograph A.
Stream B generally flows southeast across the western portion of the site and begins as an
Unimportant Intermittent channel (Attachment A - Figure 3a). The Unimportant Intermittent
portion of Stream B is approximately 426 linear feet in length (0.024 acre) and exhibits moderate
sinuosity and flow, a two to three-foot average ordinary high water width, and channel substrate
consisting of silt to sand. A weak presence of benthic macroinvertebrates consisting of a midge
(Chironomid) was sampled on the day of the field investigation (Attachments E and F - SCP2).
This portion of stream channel scored 25.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream
Classification Form. A photograph of Unimportant Intermittent Stream B is included as
Attachment G - Photograph B.
Stream B transitions into a Perennial stream channel at an approximately two-foot nick point.
The Perennial portion of Stream B is approximately 686 linear feet in length and exhibits strong
sinuosity, channel substrate consisting of coarse sand to gravel, and a three to four-foot average
ordinary high water width. Amphibians (salamanders) and benthic macro invertebrates
(amphipods and midges) were also observed within the channel during the field investigation
(Attachments E and F - SCP3). This portion of Stream B scored 33.5 out of a possible 71 points
on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form.
Stream C flows southwest for approximately 29 linear feet (0.002 acre) to its confluence with
Stream B (Attachment A - Figure 3a). This stream channel was evaluated to be Unimportant
Intermittent and exhibits weak flow with a one to two-foot average ordinary high water width
and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand (Attachments E and F - SCP4). Stream C scored

Stream D flows south down the center of the project area (Attachment A - Figure 3b).
Approximately 327 linear feet (0.008 acre) of the upstream portion of this channel was evaluated to
be Unimportant Intermittent and exhibits weak riffle-pool sequences, a weakly continuous bed and
bank, and moderate braiding. A weak headcut, interrupted flow, and a strong presence of leaf litter
in the stream bed were also observed on the day of the field investigation
(Attachments E and F - SCPS). The Unimportant Intermittent portion of Stream D scored 15.5 out
of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of this segment
of stream channel is included as Attachment G - Photograph C.
The downstream portion of Stream D was evaluated to be Important Intermittent. This segment is
approximately 209 linear feet in length and drains into Wetland DD along the southern project
boundary. This portion of Stream D exhibits a two-foot average ordinary high water width,
undercut banks, and a strong riparian canopy. This portion of stream channel also exhibits a
moderately continuous bed and bank, moderate flow, and a weak presence of benthic
macroinvertebrates (Attachments E and F - SCP6). Important Intermittent Stream D scored 25 out
of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form.
Stream E is approximately 198 linear feet in length and flows south from Wetland EE to the
project's southeastern boundary (Attachment A - Figure 3b). This channel was evaluated to be
Important Intermittent and exhibits moderate sinuosity, a three-foot average ordinary high water
width, and a strong presence of benthic macroinvertebrates (amphipods). This channel also has a
coarse sand substrate and moderate groundwater flow (Attachments E and F - SCP7). Stream E

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on September 8, 2003,
to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance
that would be affected by the project. In a response letter dated October 16, 2003, SHPO replied
that "[They] have conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which
would be affected by the project. Therefore, [they] have no comment on the project as
proposed" (Attachment H).

Protected Species
Letters were forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) and U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on August 25, 2003 to determine the presence of any federally-
listed or candidate endangered or threatened species or critical habitat located within the project
area. In a response letter dated August 29, 2003, the NCNHP replied that "The [NCNHP] has no
record of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at, nor within a
mile of the site" (Attachment H). To date, no response has been received from the USFWS.
Purpose and Need for the Project
This project proposes to develop approximately 70 acres of fields and woods into a residential
subdivision. The purpose of this project is to provide single-family housing to an area that is
experiencing significant population growth. The proposed site plan includes 225 home sites, a
community swimming pool, and approximately 17 acres of open space/tree save areas
(Attachment I - Figure 6).
Avoidance and Minimization
The project designers used a proactive approach in designing the subdivision to minimize
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. First, jurisdictional areas were delineated and
verified prior to the design phase of the project. In an effort to further reduce impacts to on-site
jurisdictional areas, an alternatives analysis was conducted to determine the least damaging plan
for the project. Three Alternative Site Plans (Alternatives 1-3) were considered for the design of
this subdivision. The preferred site plan (Alternative 3) has reduced impacts to on-site
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent practicable while still achieving the
project goals. The three site plan alternatives are included as Attachment I - Figures 4-6.
Key elements of the alternatives analysis include redesigning the site plan to decrease the
number of home sites, and increasing the size of the "Tree Save" natural areas to protect
on-site jurisdictional areas. The original site plan (Alternative 1) proposed 260 home sites and
only 7 acres of on-site "Tree Save" areas (Attachment I - Figure 4). The first revision of the site
plan (Alternative 2) reduced the number of home sites to 250, while still proposing 7 acres of
"Tree Save" areas (Attachment I - Figure 5). The preferred site plan (Alternative 3) proposes to
create 225 home sites and approximately 17 acres of "Tree Save" areas
(Attachment I - Figure 6). Total impacts under Alternative 1 would have included
approximately 567 linear feet of important stream channels and 0.133 acre of wetlands and
7
70-Acre Matthews Commons Subdivision Project November 24, 2003
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Application Project No. 2003-0447
unimportant channels. Through the elimination of 10 home sites and the redesign of a cul-de-sac
in the southwest corner of the site, Alternative 2 reduced impacts to 267 linear feet of important
channels and 0.134 acre of wetlands and unimportant channels. Alternative 3 eliminates 25
additional home sites and increases the natural riparian area by 143% (10 acres), thereby further
reducing impacts from the original plan by 475 linear feet of important channels and 0.081 acre
of wetlands and unimportant channels. Table 3 provides a summary of the avoidance and
minimization strategy.

Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas will total approximately 92 linear feet of
important stream channels and 0.05 acre of jurisdictional wetland areas and Unimportant
Intermittent stream channels. Approximately 0.002 acre (24 linear feet) of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream B, 28 linear feet of Perennial Stream B, and 64 linear feet of Important
Intermittent Stream E will be impacted for the construction of several road crossings. An additional
0.005 acre (208 linear feet) of Unimportant Intermittent Stream D, 0.044 acre of Wetland BB, and
0.001 acre of Wetland FF will also be impacted for site grading and road construction
(Attachment I - Figure 6). All proposed culverts will be buried in accordance with the Wilmington
District Regional Condition for newly constructed culverts (i.e., culverts will be buried up to one
foot). Impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas are summarized in Table 4.

On-Site impervious coverage will consist of the proposed roads, sidewalks, houses, driveways,
and the pool and parking lot area. Impervious area for the site will total approximately 18.7
acres, or 27% of the total project area. A summary of the site's proposed impervious coverage is
provided as Table 5. Impervious area has been minimized to the maximum extent possible
through the elimination of home sites and the extensive use of `tree save" and landscaped areas.

Compensatory Mitigation
Since impacts have been minimized to less than 150 linear feet of perennial stream channels and
'/2 acre of wetlands, mitigation in the form of buffers is currently being proposed for this project.
Stream buffers will be maintained to the maximum extent practicable along on-site undisturbed
stream segments. These buffers are represented in Figure 6 (Attachment I) as the "Tree Save"
areas located along the project's southern, southwestern, and southeastern boundaries. These
areas are currently forested with a mature canopy. Please see the attached USACE and NCDWQ
stream classification forms used to determine which channels are perennial and which channels
are intermittent (Attachments E and F). Stream Classification Points (SCP's) have been labeled
on the site plan for Alternative 3 (Attachment I - Figure 6) with the respective NCDWQ score
for your reference.

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap,
dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usgs.aov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., ?,Nr),vw.topozcme.com,
www.mamuest.ccnn, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: 92 linear feet of Perennial
and Important Intermittent channels and 0.007 acre (232 If) of Unimportant Intermittent
channels

flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A
Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
The protect designers used a proactive approach in designing the subdivision to minimize
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. First, jurisdictional areas were delineated and
verified prior to the design phase of the project. In an effort to further reduce impacts to on-site
jurisdictional areas, an alternatives analysis was conducted to determine the least damaging plan
for_the_proiect. Three Alternative Site Plans (Alternatives 1-3) were considered for the design of
this subdivision. The preferred site plan (Alternative 3) has reduced impacts to on-site
® jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent practicable while still achieving the
1 project -goals. The three site plan alternatives are included as Attachment I - Figures 4-6. Key
elements of the alternatives analysis include redesigning the site plan to decrease the number of
home sites, and increasing the size of the "Tree Save" natural areas to protect on-site
jurisdictional areas. The original site plan (Alternative 1) proposed 260 home sites and only 7
acres of on-site "Tree Save" areas (Attachment I - Fiuure 4). The first revision of the site plan
(Alternative 2) reduced the number of home sites to 250, while still proposing 7 acres of "Tree
Save" areas (Attachment I - Figure 5). The preferred site plan (Alternative 3) proposes to create
225 home sites and approximately 17 acres of "Tree Save" areas (Attachment I - Figure 6).
Total impacts under Alternative 1 would have included approximately 567 linear feet of
important stream channels and 0.133 acre of wetlands and unimportant channels. Through the
elimination of 10 home sites and the redesign of a cul-de-sac in the southwest corner of the site,
Alternative 2 reduced impacts to 267 linear feet of important channels and 0.134 acre of
wetlands and unimportant channels. Alternative 3 eliminates 25 additional home sites and
increases the natural riparian area by 143% (10 acres), thereby further reducing impacts from the
original plan by 475 linear feet of important channels and 0.081 acre of wetlands and
unimportant channels. Table 3 provides a summary of the avoidance and minimization strategy.

VIII. Mitigation
Since impacts have been minimized to less than 150 linear feet of perennial stream channels and
'/2 acre of wetlands, mitigation in the form of buffers is currently being proposed for this project.
Stream buffers will be maintained to the maximum extent practicable along on-site undisturbed
stream segments. These buffers are represented in Figure 6 (Attachment I) as the "Tree Save"
areas located along the proiect's southern, southwestern, and southeastern boundaries. These
areas are currently forested with a mature. Please see the attached USACE and NCDWQ stream
classification forms used to determine which channels are perennial and which channels are
® intermittent (Attachments E and F). Stream Classification Points (SCP's) have been labeled on
the site plan for Alternative 3 (Attachment I - Figure 6) with the respective NCDWQ score for
your reference.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at litip://112o.eilr.stite.lic.us/wM/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
® applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
® (Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
® Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify: )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers. N/A

* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
N/A
C3 XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
The site is currently undeveloped with no impervious coverage. A storm water management
plan is not proposed for this project given the low-density nature of the development (less than
30 % impervious area). On-Site impervious coverage will consist of the proposed roads,
sidewalks, houses, driveways, and the pool and parkin; lot area. Impervious area for the site will
total approximately 18.7 acres, or 27% of the total project area. A summary of the site's
proposed impervious coverage is provided as Table 5. Impervious area has been minimized to
the maximum extent possible through the elimination of home sites and the extensive use of `tree
save" and landscaped areas.
Page 6 of 7
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and. disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Each home will be connected to an existing public sanitary sewer and water system.
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No F<J
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
Construction is scheduled to begin upon receipt of appropriate permits.

Subject: 67-acre Cauthen/Fincher/Kirkpatrick Site; Charlotte, Mecklenburg County
CWS Project No. 2003-0447
Dear Mr. Antemann:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or
priority natural areas at the site nor within a mile of the site. Although our maps do not show
records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not necessarily mean that
they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural
Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the
project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority
natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<www.ncsparks.net/nhp/search.html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant
natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-715-8697 if you have questions or need further information.
Sincerely,
