APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Robert E Stack
1719 Walden Pond Lane
Waxhaw, NC 28173
Dear Mr. Stack:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 264 linear feet of
streams for the purpose of developing the Windy Ridge subdivision at NC 16 near Melynda Road as described in your application dated May
10, 2000. After reviewing'your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3287.
This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Water shed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA
permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified below. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a
copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and streams to notify the state in order
to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this
letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of
the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina
General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are
final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions,
please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646.

Comments:
The "unimportant" channel is a stormwater channel that flows into a small headwater forest wetland.
T
The other channels are perennial urban streams with some aquatic life. The proposed impacts of
100 linear feet of stream and 0.2 ac of wetlands are below thresholds.

S&EC, Inc. Project #00-5300
NCDENR-DWQ
Attn: Mr. John Dorney
4401 Reedy Creek Rd.
Raleigh, NC 27607
The purpose of this letter is to request the use of Nationwide Permit 39 for construction of the proposed
project Windy Ridge Subdivision. The proposed Windy Ridge Subdivision is located south of NC 16 in
northwest Charlotte, Mecklenburg County (NC Grid X-1432500, Y-560000). The site is shown on the
attached plans and USGS Topo Quad vicinity map. Proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters will total
0.208 acres for Iroad crossing and lot fill. Construction of the subdivision will comply with all of the
general conditions stated within Nationwide Permit 39.
Proposed stream channel impacts total 264 linear feet. Proposed impacts to important streams total 100
linear feet and involve a single perpendicular crossing (see construction plans). Although not confirmed by
NC DWQ or USACE, S&EC believes that no stream mitigation will be required for this project
because impacts to significant channels are unavoidable, perpendicular, minimized, and less than 150
linear feet. If for some reason mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the North Carolina
Wetland Restoration Fund.
S&EC can meet with either agency on-site if needed for confirmation. Please allow a couple of days for
scheduling.
Included are: (1) a completed Pre-Construction Notification application, (2) Agent Authorization Form, (3)
USGS Site Vicinity Map, (4) Site Plans, (5) Justification Letter, (6) Wetland Data Forms, and (7) a $475
check for 401 fees.
Please call if you have questions or require further information. If you intend to perform site visits please
call and we will arrange for someone to accompany you.
Sincerely,
Wendell Overby

Re: Windy Ridge Subdivision
City of Charlotte, North Carolina
Windy Ridge Subdivision is a proposed single family residential subdivision consisting of 141 lots on 47.46
acres located in the Charlotte city limits in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. This letter has been issued
to illustrate the justification for the wetland impacts requested in the permit being submitted by S&EC for the
aforementioned project. We respectfully request that the USACE and NCDENR-DWQ issue the requested
permit due to the following reasons:
• The project boundary contains 0.696 acres of wetlands. The layout of the subdivision was intentionally
designed to avoid wctland impacts as much as possible. 13.2 acres of common area have been
incorporated into the site plan to avoid wetland disturbance to the 100, 400, and 500 series of wetlands.
The total area of disturbed wetlands, shown as impact number 1 on the Wet/und Lnpuct Mal) is 0.197
acres.
• The 0.197 acres of disturbed wetlands have been determined by S&EC personnel to be a low quality
wetland feature.
• The 163.91 l.f. of channel through the impacted wetlands has also been determined by S&EC personnel
to be an insignificant feature.
• Significant channel disturbance has been avoided at all but one location. The three significant channels on
site have a combined length of 4,365 I.f. with a requested impact length of' 100 11. The westerly flowing
channel disturbance shown as impact number 2 on the 14'el/und ImInicl Mup is necessary to provide
access to the portion of the property on the south side of this channel. This portion of property is land-
locked and has no other access available due to the surrounding channels and railroad tracks. The 100 I.f'.
of requested disturbance is necessary to build the proposed road to the City of Charlotte standards for a
local residential street at the anticipated till height over the channel.
Due to the items listed above, we feel that our request for the issuance of Nationwide Permit 39 is reasonable
and justified. Please contact our wctland consultant, S&EC, if you have any questions or need any additional
information.
Respectfully,
Anthon Y3rcnt Cowan, Project Manager
