According to our rules [ 15A NCAC 2H .0507 (A)], if final action is not taken within 60 days, the Certification is waived unless DWQ has objected in writing to your application. Therefore, DWQ has waived the requirement for a 401 Water Quality Certification for your plans to impact 0.373 acre of wetlands and 250 linear feet of streams for development at the North Davidson Road site as described in your application. This waiver replaces the one issued to you on June 5, 2001. However, if additional impact occurs or your development plans change, this waiver is no longer valid and a 401 Water Quality Certification will be required. Therefore, you still must submit acceptable plans for 1) an extended detention wetland for stormwater treatment and 2) channel relocation. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646 or Pete Colwell at the DWQ Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699. Sincerely, John R.

Attached is some limited correspondence that may provide links within your offices. Supplemental information that you both had requested took more time to compile than we had anticipated; we trust the attached information will satisfactorily complete the application to justify Gateway Homes request for authorization. We feel that it is appropriate for your offices to issue the requested permits because the attachments hereto complete a reasonable avoidance and minimization review in accordance with the Clean Water Act. The purpose of this package is to provide requested supplemental information for the North Davidson Mixed Use Master Plan that is proposed by Gateway Homes. The application is dated December 15, 2000 and was placed on hold by both agencies pending the submittal of supplemental information. We trust that you have maintained copies of the application and can refer to the document as needed; additional copies are available upon request. Attached hereto as supplemental information are the following: 1. Narrative justification from the applicant 2. Limited comparative proformas developed by the applicant 3. Fair Housing Act discussion 4. Detailed site development plan 5. Response to Cultural Resources Comments 6. Response to Wildlife Resources Commission Comments 7. Mitigation and Conceptual Relocation Plan. These items are compiled with the understanding that they will functionally fulfill the submittal requirements for the Corps and DWQ. 828-3121,9207 Chris 720 South Main Ave, 828-312-9205 Jennifer Newton, NC 28658 828-312-9206 Tamp -- 828-465-3050 Fax Revised and attached are the following: 1. Narrative of Nationwide 14 and revised PCN 2. Narrative of Nationwide 39 and revised PCN. Revisions were required to more precisely define impacts to wetlands and because of channel importance determinations made by the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps has reduced the linear feet of channels that we presented as requiring mitigation. The following information, presented in the original application has not significantly changed. 1. Supporting information, photos and resource maps 2. Minimization and Avoidance Narratives 3. Mitigation Narratives The applicant has yet to complete the storm water management plan and final channel mitigation plan because of the uncertainty of the projects approval. The applicant fully expects a conditional approval of the plan pending the satisfactory completion of an extended wetland detention facility and a channel relocation plan. Initial estimates for design of these elements are $70,000; therefore, without some understanding of the Corps and DWQ position we cannot proceed with this work. Within the original application for fill, Gateway Homes offered mitigation through the Wetland Restoration Program and additionally proposed to mitigate storm water impacts through the establishment of extended detention wetlands. In conclusion, your offices must issue a permit once an applicant has 1) provided justification for a proposed impact, has 2) demonstrated avoidance and minimization to the extent practicable as to not frustrate the equitable development of such site and has 3) offered to mitigate for anticipated impacts to the effected environment. Under item 3, consideration must be given to A) direct demonstrable adverse impacts to the environment and B) indirect cumulative adverse impact resulting from the development of the site. As such, contribution to the State WRP will compensate for losses attributed to piping and storm water facilities will mitigate for indirect impacts resulting from the development of the site.

Owner's / Agent's signature 3 • ? ? ? c2.'-1 Date Supplemental Information Attachment 1., Narrative justification from the applicant: The letter from Mr. Dave Ransenburg, details that affordable housing is needed in the Charlotte region. The site, when developed for residential use requires the proposed wetland impacts so that it can be equitable because: 1. Density defrays land prices which are higher than in rural settings 2. Fair Housing Act requirements require ground access units with flat entrances 3. Infrastructure costs are fixed for the site; therefore reduction of units do not change this costs. Attachment 2., Limited comparative proformas developed by the applicant: The proforma developed by Mr. Ransenburg and referenced in his justification, demonstrates that impacts are required to maintain the equitable development of the site. The proforma considers mitigation and storm water management under the development costs. Note that the site will require storm water facilities regardless of the impacts being approved. As such, channel mitigation, anticipated at $70,000 is not much in terms of overall profit. Attachment 3., Fair Housing Act discussion: The letter from Watts Leaf Architects, P.A., explains some of the Fair Housing Act requirements for the site. The architect has developed a plan that complies with the intent of the cited regulations. Attachment 4., Detailed site development plan: Attached is a site plan that depicts impacts. Impacts from this map are reflected in the attached PCN's. Attachment 5., Cultural Resources Comments: According to our calendar, this department did not respond within their allocated time period. Respectfully, we expect that their comments be waived. Attachment 6., Wildlife Resources Commission Comments: The commission comments are incorporated to the extent practicable; however, since there role is non-regulatory we request only minimal consideration of their comments. To the extent practicable: 1. The site will be stabilized with the recommended seed mixes to the extent that it is economically similar to fescue and available. 2. Native tree species will be planted along the relocated stream. The channel will be relocated using bio-engineering concepts and practices. The relocation will be submitted for review. 3. We do not conceptually oppose the idea of a park, however, the highly degraded site is encircled by industrial and residential uses; no quality wildlife corridor exists in either direction. Attachment 7., Mitigation and Conceptual Relocation: Concepts are outlined in the attached plan; they include meanders and stabilization. Additionally, estimated costs are included. Revised Information Narrative of Nationwide 14 Impacts Impacts associated with Road Crossing 1, Card Street, will be 135 linear feet. This channel is important by both DWQ and Corps standards. The crossing is as near perpendicular as possible and will require impacts associated with rip-rap energy dissipaters. Channel impacts will be associated with fill. Nationwide Permit 14 has been applied in consideration of Corps recommendations. Channels lost under 14: 135 feet Mitigation for loss: 135 feet Narrative of Nationwide 39 Impacts Impacts associated with a road crossing located at the southeast corner of the property have been removed from the request because the channel will now be spanned. Channel relocation and fill will not occur upstream of the existing pipe located at Academy Street. This channel will be contained between keystone walls. Impacts to wetlands located south of Card Street will be to 14,199 square feet (0.325 acres). Within this area 275 linear feet of important mitigatable channel will be lost to piping under Nationwide 39. The original application requested impacts under Nationwide 3 to relocate the pipe located under Academy Street; this relocation allow for the impacts as depicted. These impacts will allow for the development of up to 12 four story units and their supporting infrastructure. Impacts to the wetland located between Card and Warp Streets are the minimal that will allow the site to comply with the Fair Housing Act. This compliance is due to the flat topography located in this portion of the site. Minimal grading will allow for access to be granted in the most cost efficient manner. Impacts to the wetland that will be enhanced for storm water retention, will account for an additional 785 square feet (0.018 acres). This area will be replaced within the storm water facility and will be planted with native wetland tree species. These impacts will allow for the placement of up to 4 four story units and their supporting infrastructure. Impacts associated with the Warp Street Crossing will be completed under Nationwide Permit 39 as directed by the Corps. This crossing will require that and additional 870 square feet (0.020 acres) of wetland be impacted. This crossing will result in the loss of 70 linear feet of channels that support crayfish but that are not important to the Corps. Impacts between Warp and North Davidson Street will total 714 square feet (0.016 acres). These impacts will cause the loss of 465 linear feet of channels that the Corps finds not important. DWQ will find these same channels to be important due to the presence of crayfish. Additionally in this area, 225 linear feet of channel will be relocated to and existing property line.

The city officials pound home on a daily basis the lack of affordable housing. This issue has taken a prominent position in city planning efforts to make affordable housing a reality. Their desire for affordable housing close to the city core is evident by the changing of zoning, transportation and building codes. By denser affordable housing near the city core many infrastructure and environmental stresses are reduced quickly. The need to go to the suburban markets to buy less expensive housing is curtailed. The monies required to extend roadway, sewer, storm water and water systems are greatly reduced by utilizing existing systems. Our project accomplishes the goals set forth by the city but does it in an area that needs revitalization. By introducing new homeownership in run down areas only spurs more urban redevelopment. This will further utilize existing services and curtail more suburban sprawl. The end result is more efficient use of utilities and a great reduction in environmental impacts suburban sprawl imposes. We can only realize these goals by doing two things, providing an affordable unit and building it affordably. Our housing prices need to compete with suburban housing prices. Our homes also need to be reasonably priced due to the fact the area around the project is in need of revilalization. This means that the project can only support a certain price point. In addition, we need the 4 units east of the wetland area to satisfy ADA requirements and provide disabled homeowners a place to buy. By reducing the number of units, each one of the remaining units will go up geometrically since many of our costs are fixed. Our land price is higher than it would be in the suburbs since we had to purchase I-2, (heavy industrial land usually is 2 to 3 times the cost of suburban multifamily land). Infrastructure costs do not reduce in proportion with the number of units built. Therefor, the remaining units will have to absorb the costs. Any reduction in the number of units will make this project unfeasible and will cause us to develop it for an industrial user. An industrial user will not solve the affordable housing problem. An industrial user will not stop the environmental impact 220 homes will make on 150 acres of suburban land. An industrial user will not curtail the need of tax monies to extend infrastructure. By adding these homes in the suburbs the stream basins would be adversly affected. Please review the enclosed projected proformas as they relate to the current condition and the reduced unit number based upon CDOT realignment of Davidson. The final proforma combines the CDOT reduction with the 12 units you propose to cut based upon your requirements. Please notice how the feasibility is reduced as units are removed. In conclusion, if we have to reduce the number of units, we cannot go forward with this plan. We feel that it would be ashamed to shift the burden to build these 220 homes from this 10.5 acre site to 150 acres in the suburbs. Sincerely, David Ransenberg Gateway Homes, LLC 'O cn CD Q-1?.*C7?

As I have explained, the Fair housing Act excludes townhomes 33 "covered units" as they aro multilevel and do not hove an elevator. The Act does state that if you have single level units above parking then the ground floor is raised to that' second level and you must provide an arces?bla entranca (ramps or elevator). We will have that condition. Fortunately we are planning to have some ground level single story plans. Thurso will assure that we are providing equal accommodation and will therefore not be rcquirod to have the ahvator access. The Fair housing Act is not clear 33 to the required number of such Plana.

Fullwood, E.-.Ccutlvc Director TO: John Dorney, DWQ 401 Certification Program FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: January 26, 2001 SUBJECT: Review of 404/401. Application by Gateway Homes, North Davidson Road Site, Mecklenburg County The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 Permit and 401 Certification. These continents are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). The application package is somewhat confusing. Impacts from the development appear to be the reduction of 2116.5 linear feet to 520 linear feet and a reduction of 0.83 acres of wetlands to 0.42 acres. It also appears that the remaining portion of stream will be a consolidation of existing waters into a bioengineered stream while the remaining wetland will be utilized in some fashion for stormwater management. The Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) will be requested to accept a $54,125 payment for site impacts. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) continues to be concerned about the fragmentation and loss of forested areas or woodlands as development occurs in areas near the City of Charlotte and in or near Mecklenburg County. We appreciate the efforts to protect water quality by providing stormwater detention and treatment. However, the NCWRC does not encourage the utilization of existing waters or wetlands for water quality treatment facilities. As the area is currently forested habitat that appears to reduce pollutants and remove trash from downstream areas, we recommend that the consultant and Charlotte Stormwater Services discuss the benefits of the site for stream and wetland restoration instead of development. The area might be utilized as a park and wetland/stream restoration site. This area could provide a Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fishcries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Ralelgli, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 241 • Fax: (919) 715-7643 Gateway Domes 401 2 01/26/01 small "wildlife refuge" in the urban area. Environmental enhancement activities should be beneficial. If a certification is issued, we recommend the utilization of bioengineering design techniques for the new stream segment. Any required wet detention facilities should include vegetated littoral shelves for aquatic edge habitat. In an effort to restore avian and terrestrial habitats as well as enhance aquatic/detritus habitats in a detention facility, we recommend that the applicant provide for the restoration of tree and shrub species similar to those currently found on the site. Species such as wild cherry, hickory and oak may be preferred due to structural concerns. These trees and shrubs should be planted. around and on the upper third of the detention structure, excluding the dam. They should provide habitat benefits that could offset those functions lost by development, partially restore aquatic habitats, reduce exposure of the water surface to surilight thereby minimizing thermal pollution, provide essential summer and winter habitats as well as provide an aesthetically pleasing green space which should enhance property values. Additionally, instead of using the typical fescue or grasses, the upper interior and exterior of the structure should be planted with the following mix: Spring/Summer Mixture, May 1 - Sept. 15 FallAVinter Mixture, Sept. 15 - April 30 Browntop millet 20 lbs/a Rye grain 120 lbs/a Korean lespedeza* 20 lbs/a Korean lespedeza* 201bs/a Shrub lespedeza 1 lb/a Shrub lespedeza 1 lb/a Switchgrass 10 lb/a Partridge pea 10 Ib/a * On slopes less than 3:1 use Korean lespedeza On slopes greater than 3:1 use Crown Vetch Add one of the following to the above mixture Crown Vetch 5 Ibs/acre Ladino Clover 5 lbs/acre Alfalfa 5 lbs/acre Note: Mowing should be limited to early spring and should only occur as needed to prevent tree growth on the dam or other areas. Mowing on a 2-3 year schedule should suffice. Lime and fertilize as recommended by Natural Resources Conservation Service standards when planted. Trees and shrubs (1 year bare root seedlings) should be planted randomly at a minimal rate of 100 trees per acre on the top and upper portions of the structure and at a minimal rate of 150 per acre around the normal water elevation and littoral shelf area. The following list of tree species may assist in providing habitat benefits: Loblolly Pine* Red Cedar Black Gum American Holly Dogwood Hickory Sumac White Oak Willow Oak Red Maple** Oak Viburnum Green Asti Ironwood Black Cherry Persimmon Water Oak Spice Bush Willow (sp) Swamp Chestnut Silky Dogwood Other species may be utilized depending on site requirements and availability. Pines* should not exceed 15% of the reforestation. No more than 20% of the tree species will be of a single species. An 80% success rate is acceptable over five years. Large or fast growing trees like Sycamore and Maple** may not be appropriate around detention facilities. Gateway Homes 401 01 /26/01 Native species are preferred for these activities. The above recommendation should be considered for the multiple benefits that they can provide to the community and to the environment. Initial costs should not be prohibitive and the long-term costs should be reduced, as constant mowing would not be necessary in the naturalized areas.

Cc: Steve Chapin, USACOE Pete Colwell, DWQ-MRO Attachment 7 ,Mitigation and Conceptual Relocation Plan: Maximum development efficiency will be achieved by relocating the impacted channel to follow property lines. Specifically, from the outfall of the storm water facility to North Davidson Street, the channel will be re-directed into a bio-engineered channel for 475 linear feet. We proposed that the open channel will offset impacts for the relocation of the 225 linear feet of channel relocated between Warp street and North Davidson Street. Additionally, this channel can offset some of the site impacts. We propose to offset the total impacts on the site by the 250 linear feet of relocation. The final channel relocation plan will include the design and planting recommendations for the channel. Also, it is understood that the final amount of mitigation will be based on the completeness of the plan and its compliance with generally accepted design standards. Conceptually, the channel would meander within the proposed 35' to 45' belt width. The channel would be designed with a small floodplain the entire width of the belt area. The channel will be stabilized with native plant species and natural structures to the extent practicable. Meanders will be incorporated to reduce velocities and the floodplain will account for additional water storage. From the floodplain, the side slopes will be either vertical and achieved through keystone walls or will be 2:1 side slopes stabilized with native shrubs and trees. Geometrically the channel will exhibit B characteristics (Rosgen). Final design will be constrained by the limited belt width and will be further limed by the Mitigation and enhancement of existing wetlands 1. NC WRP mitigation 560 linear feet, cost 2.

Fullwood, Executive Dircctor TO: John Dorney, DWQ 401 Certification Program FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: January 26, 2001 SUBJECT: Review of 404/401 Application by Gateway Homes, North Davidson Road Site, Mecklenburg County The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 Permit and 401 Certification. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). The application package is somewhat confusing. Impacts from the development appear to be the reduction of 2116.5 linear feet to 520 linear feet and a reduction of 0.83 acres of wetlands to 0.42 acres. It also appears that the remaining portion of stream will be a consolidation of existing waters into a bioengineered stream while the remaining wetland will be utilized in some fashion for stormwater management. The Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) will be requested to accept a $54,125 payment for site impacts. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) continues to be concerned about the fragmentation and loss of forested areas or woodlands as development occurs in areas near the City of Charlotte and in or near Mecklenburg County. We appreciate the efforts to protect water quality by providing stormwater detention and treatment. However, the NCWRC does not encourage the utilization of existing waters or wetlands for water quality treatment facilities. As the area is currently forested habitat that appears to reduce pollutants and remove trash from downstream areas, we recommend that the consultant and Charlotte Stormwater Services discuss the benefits of the site for stream and wetland restoration instead of development. The area might be utilized as a park and wetland/stream restoration site.

If a certification is issued, we recommend the utilization of bioengineering design techniques for the new stream segment. Any required wet detention facilities should include vegetated littoral shelves for aquatic edge habitat. In an effort to restore avian and terrestrial habitats as well as enhance aquatic/detritus habitats in a detention facility, we recommend that the applicant provide for the restoration of tree and shrub species similar to those currently found on the site. Species such as wild cherry, hickory and oak may be preferred due to structural concerns. These trees and shrubs should be planted around and on the upper third of the detention structure, excluding the dam. They should provide habitat benefits that could offset those functions lost by development, partially restore aquatic habitats, reduce exposure of the water surface to sunlight thereby minimizing thermal pollution, provide essential summer and winter habitats as well as provide an aesthetically pleasing green space which should enhance property values.

Division of Water Quality Attn: Mr. John Dorney 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27606 Re: Section 404 Permit / 401 Water Quality Certification Request Gateway Homes, North Davidson Road Site Charlotte, Mecklenburg County North Carolina Dear Mr. Chapin and Mr. Dorney: On the behalf of Gateway Homes, we request authorization for proposed impacts to jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. for their proposed North Davidson Road development site located within the city limits of Charlotte, North Carolina. The attached USGS Topo Quad and Mecklenburg County Soil Survey depict the location of the site. In its current state the site contains some 2116.5 linear feet of urban channels and 0.83 acres (36,167 square feet) of wetlands. The applicant has avoided and minimized impacts to the greatest extent practicable to allow for the equitable development of the site in consideration of housing demands and mitigating adverse impacts to the environment. The development is an urban in-fill project that will accommodate some 230 dwelling units on a site comprised of less than 11 acres. The site will result in 7 acres of impervious area and 3.59 acres of open space. Of particular note, with respect to issues germane to this permit, a storm water wetland has been proposed to assimilate pollutants from the development site. In its final developed state the property will contain a 0.42 acre wetland and 520 linear feet of bio-engineered channel. Existing Conditions: The on-site channel is assessed to be a low quality urban channel with high peaks in its hydrograph resulting from the 50 plus acre urban watershed. This channel becomes braided once it enters the site. The entire watershed upstream of the site is heavily developed and the channel up-stream of the site was historically piped for some undetermined distance. Currently the channel flows from a perched 48-inch pipe into an unstable channel reach. Severe down-cutting and bank failure are evident along the entire reach. Vertical banks 828."312."9207 Chris 720 South Main Ave. 828-312,19205 Jennifer Newton, NC 28658 828"312"9206 Tamp 828'4653050 Fax n D rn <:Z r-n r-n z =-) --i indicate that the stable natural morphology of the channel has been lost and that the channel is contributing excess bed-load (sediment) to down stream reaches. The upper reaches of the floodplain, though present, do not appear to function on a regular basis; the channel is deeply entrenched and the floodplain contains no regulated wetlands. Trash, including household and automotive debris, is also present along the entire reach. Even considering all the items listed above, fish and crayfish inhabit the entire channel. No ephemeroptera or plecoptera were observed; however, tricoptera were present. Moderate quality wetlands exist on the site downstream of the above-described reach of channel. Their quality is based upon pollutant removal and flood storage. Significant amounts of sediment have historically been deposited in the wetland from the degrading channel described above. Additionally, the wetland is a reservoir for trash. Woody species dominate the wetland and three invasive species are present. Primary tree cover is by black willow, ash, and red maple. Alder dominates the sub canopy. The invasive species becoming more prevalent within the area are Chinese privet, Japanese honeysuckle, and Kudzu. Downstream of the existing wetlands, the channel looses structure and becomes two distinct low-grade channels and one storm water feature. These two channels are extremely degraded with no substrate but still support fish and crayfish. De-nude channel banks are believed to contribute excess sediment to receiving waters. Immediately downstream of the project this same channel is confined between the fill slopes of North Davidson Road and the existing Rail Road (250 linear feet) before discharging into Little Sugar Creek. It is not certain what the pattern or profile of the stream was prior to its placement between the fill slopes. Incidentally, the railroad may be converted into a light rail connection between Charlotte and points north. The attached wetland survey map depicts the locations of wetlands and channels. Avoidance and Minimization Analysis: During the extensive alternatives analysis, open relocation of the entire channel was assessed to be inappropriate because it would require extensive cuts of up to 15 feet deep and 50 feet wide along the border of the property. The relocation would then place the channel in a valley that was not consistent with the expected channel morphology. Relocation that would require up to a 20-foot riparian buffer on either side of the relocated channel would equate to the loss of up to 3 acres of developable land. Accordingly, the relocation was re-assessed for a shorter length so that it is consistent with cost and design constraints. Keystone walls were considered as a tool to reduce fills but were abandoned when it was determined that to comply with zoning and development needs channel impacts would be reduced by only 100 linear feet and compromise up to 5 four story units. The open segment would then be the only segment open to light within the upper limits of the project. Additionally, any open area within the channel would essentially become a scour-pool and would likely not be stable. Ecologically and hydrologically this solution was determined to be not acceptable because it would result in a scour pool inhabited by few organisms. Functionally a channel confined by keystone walls is the same as a pipe with regard to r? :+irv•. storage. The latter, however, will contribute less sediment and will be inhabited by fewer organisms. Keystone walls have been incorporated to the degree that they provide for suitable development zones. Minimization of impacts to less than 0.33 acres of wetlands and 150 linear feet of channels is not practicable. Therefore, the locations of proposed impacts were selected so as to comply with design considerations and to mitigate for their adverse impacts. The largest wetland on the site is the most valuable intact portion of the regulated landscape. As such, impacts to this area are minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Up stream of the wetland the channel is inhabited by fish but is contaminated by auto debris and tar, as such impacts to this area are not considered to be significant. Downstream of the wetland the channel looses definition and becomes a source of sediment to receiving waters. Fortunately, topography is such that the channel can be consolidated into one channel that would run in the buffer between the subject property and the neighboring property. Development plans call for impacts to the upstream portion of the channel that is degraded and that cannot be relocated due to topographical restraints; wetlands adjacent to this channel will also be impacted. Impacts are located upstream of the existing wetland in the top of the drainage where the stream discharges from an unknown length of pipe. Downstream of the wetland the existing channel will be "restored" to natural morphology within buffers after treatment by a storm water wetland. This portion of enhanced channel will have an increase in centerline flow from about 1 to 2 feet to 4 to 5 feet, which will greatly help decrease sediment loads to Litde Sugar Creek. Included with this permit are two early site plan maps that were abandoned once Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants, Inc. were retained to do the wetland delineation and permit application. Channel and vegetated wetland impacts have been significantly decreased from both of those earlier site plans. Proposed Development: Site development requires piping impacts to 567 linear feet of channel and 0.396 acres of wetlands will be filled (this liner footage includes the 100 linear feet of repair and retrofitting of existing pipe under Nationwide Permit 3). One hundred and forty-five linear feet of channel will be impacted under Nationwide Permit 14 for the construction of public access roads and three hundred and twenty-two linear feet of channel will be impacted under Nationwide Permit 39 for the construction of building pads. Nationwide Permit 3 will be used to retrofit an existing pipe for one hundred linear feet. Finally, 631.5 linear feet are requested under Nationwide Permit 39 for the purpose of relocating a stream. The current site development plan calls for the construction of 230 dwelling units on a 10.5 acres site. Zoning regulations dictate that impervious area cannot exceed 70% or 7.4 acres. Economics mandate that impacts be committed as illustrated and de facto limits the ability to minimize project impacts. Land cost, demand and location are the engines that promote urban in-fill. This infill site will place up to 230 residences within easy walling distance to a future light rail transportation route and within a few miles of the downtown metropolitan area of Charlotte. The attached site plan depicts the proposed site development. •. ,?''l??cjy Permit Issues: Permitting under a combination of Nationwide Permits 39 and 14 is consistent with Army Corps released Draft Questions and Answers (Draft 04/28/2000) and with Nationwide Permit General Condition 15 (Fed. Reg. Vol. 65,No. 47. pp. 12868 and 12896). Both the guidance and the condition allow for the proposed impacts by 1) separating the project into two distinct permits (public road and private development) and by 2) allowing impacts which are not more than minimal when viewed in terms of cumulative impact acreage. The channel is not assessed to be biologically important because it supports little biological diversity. The diversity is limited by the sites extreme exposure to un-treated storm water flows generated from the vastly impervious watershed. Non-point discharges from the watershed have resulted in a degraded channel system. For reasons stated within this letter we believe the channel is not subject to the 300 linear foot limitation under Nationwide Permit 39. This assessment is consistent with regional guidance that allows for impacts to exceed the 300 linear foot limitation under Nationwide 39. tion• Mitigation: As a mitigative measure the site incorporates a storm water extended wetland detention facility. The facility will be sized to treat all of the site-generated run-off. The total acreage dedicated to detention facilities totals approximately 0.42 acres. Targeted pollutant removal will be consistent with the published effectiveness of storm water wetlands. The presence of exotic species will be controlled through periodic flooding. The Exotic Plant Guidelines published by the North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation states that "Prolonged flooding can kill plants that infest impoundments or other areas where water levels can be controlled." Chinese privet, Japanese honeysuckle, and kudzu are all on the guidelines' high priority list for highly invasive species. The storm water wetland will provide a functional lift by detaining storm water and a value lift by flooding out the highly invasive species. Mitigation credit for the open relocated segment of channel is requested at the location of the bio-engineered natural channel. The developer requests that the 520.5 linear feet of relocation be credited toward the 631.5 linear feet of relocated channel. Through this exchange, some 520.5 linear feet of stable channel replaces 631.5 linear feet of highly degraded channels and results in a net increase in wetland functions because the width of the channel will be doubled from previous states. Mitigation for channels impacted by this activity, and that are not compensated for through the channel enhancement, are proposed through the NC Wetland Restoration Program (NC WRP) at a 1:1 ratio because of the channels low quality. Early conversations with NC WRP indicate that the program will accept the mitigation proposed. Payment into the NC WRP will be for 433 linear feet and will result in a source of funding of $54,125 for restoration within the adjacent areas. An evaluation of the channel down stream of the site identified suitable reaches for mitigation but no landowners willing to participate in any mitigation. Additionally, all land within the drainage basin and the adjacent basins falls within city limits and the cost per acre is assessed to be too high when coupled with the lack of willing participants, existing structures, high construction and utility cost and design costs. Onsite channel mitigation is not possible and local offsite mitigation is not practicable. ~ V? rv Authorized impacts will not more than minimally impact downstream water quality and potential adverse impacts are ameliorated through storm water best management practices and a contribution to the NC Wetland Restoration Program. Water quality, based on the channels urban situation as described above, is not high quality and its loss will not likely alter downstream water quality. Water entering the water ways after treatment within the storm water treatment facility will be of higher quality and will be at a reduced rate therefore compensating for the loss of subject channel. Those impacts not mitigated through the storm water facilities will be satisfied through the NC WRP. Channel impacts are to Corps important channels under Nationwide Permit 39. We believe that the channel is biologically important but not physically important because it supports only few organisms with little diversity and because it is down cut and contributing sediment to down stream reaches. If permitted the loss of the channel will be traded for storm water control, channel enhancement, and a contribution to the NC WRP. All Things Considered: Sprawling developments comprised of 230 dwelling units, each with a quarter acre lot, minimally require 70 acres of land. (This acreage allows for roadways but does not consider utility ROW or open space requirements; the acreage is conservative.) These subdivisions typically achieve 20% imperviousness, or approximately 14 acres of solid surface. These new subdivisions are the catalysts for new roads, stores and other support infrastructure. Urban in-fill developments comprised of the same number of dwellings can achieve multiple environmental dividends by moving the population more toward employment centers thereby reducing linear infrastructure such as sewer and roadways. These projects are essentially filling in the gaps that exist in the urban centers. These gaps do have ecological value but they are compromised. This development recognizes the value of the wetland as a tool that can be used for assimilating storm water and maintains a relatively low impervious area per dwelling unit. The issue needing consideration is that the infill projects reduce the secondary and cumulative impacts from roadways that are built to these projects and from the ancillary commercial development spawned from the sprawling developments Please call with any questions or concerns that you may have.
