Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Ward:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 122 linear feet of stream for the purpose of crossing a stream at the subject
property, as described within your application dated November 21, 2005, and received by the N.C.
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on November 21, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3404 (GC3404).
The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) NW14 when issued by the US Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE). In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required
federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion
and Sediment Control, Non-discharge, and other regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your
proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon
expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:

2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond
the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction
activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
Division of Land Resources has released the project;
5. Protective Fencing - The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor
within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning
fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the
buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC
2B .0233 and GC 3404;
6. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall
be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of
the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall
be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-
installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the
stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert. Therefore, you must provide plans with adequate details that indicate that the current
stability of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You must receive written approval from this
Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is installed. Culvert(s) must be installed according
to approved plans.
Jordan Lake Preserve

December 7, 2005
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below
the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,
and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures
including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the
above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip-rap is
necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of
Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed
to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the
401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please
send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.
7. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached
certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, North Carolina
Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct
impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this Certification shall expire upon
expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland or
stream impacts), 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 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Applicant utilized the Ecosystem Enhancement Program formerly known at that time as
the Wetlands Restoration Program) for all required mitigation and has already paid the
required mitigation fee for this requested impact.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
Page 6 of 9

If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
We have reviewed the "DRAFT Internal Policy Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality
Certification and Isolated Wetland Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water
Quality on October 3. 2002, version 1.6. The draft states that most residential subdivisions are
unlikely to cause cumulative impacts however an Environmental Impact Assessment was
composed for the then proposed Chapel Ridge (formerly known as Buck Mountain) Subdivision
We anticipate that you will advise us if you would like to review this document or if additional
information is needed.
XV. 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).

Dear Mr. Edwards:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill or to flood 0.1071 acre of
wetlands and to fill 296 linear feet of perennial streams and 2236 linear feet of intermittent streams in order to construct the
Buck Mountain Development in Chatham County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
on April 4, 2003, and in additional correspondence received May 30, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3404 and 3402. This Certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 14, 18 and 39 when it issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire
when the accompanying 404 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. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and the additional conditions listed below:
1. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate for the
impacts to streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402 and 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this contribution will satisfy
our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the
Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Wetlands Restoration
Program), stream Impacts (including fill) shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at [phone] if you
have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration Program. You have one month from the date of this
Certification to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the fill of 296 linear feet of

Introduction
The Overall Stormwater Management Plan for the entire Chapel Ridge Subdivision is based upon the
following criteria:
• Impervious Coverage (Entire Project)
The anticipated completed impervious coverage for the entire tract is 20.8%. The County
water supply watershed limits impervious coverage to 24% within the critical and protected
areas of the Jordan Lake watershed. The specific breakout of the proposed impervious
coverage is as follows:
Item Coverage Impervious Area
677 Homesites 7000 sf max. / lot 4,739,000 sf
Roads 1,501,338 sf
Sidewalks 131,402 sf

WWTP and Utility Areas 200,000 sf
Total Impervious 7,142,437 sf
Total Tract Area 34,403,688 sf
(789.8 Acres)

• Buffer Areas
A minimum 50' buffer (each side of stream) has been provided along all perennial and
intermittent streams as indicated upon the most recent USGS map. Within these buffers, tree
removal within 30 feet of stream channels shall be restricted to road and golf crossings. In
any locations where the outer 20' of the 50' buffer is disturbed, the buffer will be revegetated
with turf and natural grass to maximize pollutant trapping efficiency.
• Stormwater Collection and Treatment in Minor Drainage Basins of Phase 2B
This phase of the project consists of 166 single family homesites, approximately 9,7261f of
private streets ranging from 23'B-B to 27'B-B in width, approximately 5,335 if of 5' wide
concrete sidewalks and approximately 4,4001f of 8' wide concrete cart path along the golf
course. As shown in the stormwater calculations, each homesite is planned to contain no
more than 7,000 SF of imperviousness. There are several small natural draws within Phase
2B where stormwater will discharge. At these locations, the water quality basins or
extended dry detention structures are planned. The remaining water quality basins are
located generally downstream of proposed roadway cul-de-sacs or behind lots in natural low
areas adjacent to the stream buffers or Dry Creek.
Stormwater management facilities shown below will remove at least 50% TSS according to
the most recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Practices Manual. In addition,
this design adheres to the Conditional Use approval received from the Chatham County
Commissioners for the Buck Mountain (Chapel Ridge) subdivision. The following chart

RE: Nationwide Permit 14, 18, & 39 / 401 Water Quality Certification Request
Buck Mountain
Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 01-6231
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Tugwell:
On behalf of Jordan Lake Preserve (landowner), we request authorization from the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the use of Nationwide Permits 14, 18, and 39 for
construction of the proposed Buck Mountain golf course community. We also request
written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality (NC-DWQ) that the project
complies with the.401 Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide Permits
14, 18, and 39.. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as well as
an agent authorization form.
The proposed project consists of a single-family residential golf course community. The
project site is located 1 % miles north of Gum Springs, in Chatham County, NC. The site
is bounded to the east by SR 1520 and bounded to the north by Dry Creek. Figure 1
depicts the site on the applicable USGS topographic quadrangle.
S&EC delineated the wetlands on-site in 2002. Mr. Todd Tugwell, of the USACE,
reviewed our delineation and performed "importance" calls on the stream channels on-
site on November 2, 2002. Mr. Dave Penrose, of the NC-DWQ, visited the site in
December 2002 and performed "significance" calls. In late 2002, the applicant and
S&EC conducted a pre-application meeting with Mr. John Dorney and Mr. Steve
Mitchell of NC-DWQ. A jurisdictional determination has not been issued for this site at
this time. However, S&EC plans to submit the delineation of the entire project site for
USACE approval in the near future under separate cover. No permits have been issued

for this project at this time. Wetland and upland data forms taken adjacent to feature G
(see plan) are attached.
Proposed impacts include stream channel and wetland impacts associated with the
construction of four road crossings, a driving range and 18-hole golf course, an aesthetic
pond, and one water quality pond. The proposed impacts are depicted on the attached
site plans and are enumerated and described in the attached PCN form. The total
cumulative permanent impacts for this project consist of 296 linear feet of
perennial/important stream channel, 2523 linear feet of intermittent
(unimportant/insignificant) stream channel, and 0.1071 acre of wetland.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the thresholds for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge causes the loss of any
open waters. The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands and waters prior to site
plan development in order to avoid impacts to jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent
practicable. However, due to site constraints, impacts to multiple streams and wetland
areas are necessary to construct the proposed golf course and subdivision. The applicant
plans to treat wastewater on-site using a package plant / re-use facility. Wastewater will
then be applied to golf course areas using spray irrigation for the final stage of treatment.
Large upland areas with soils suitable for spray irrigation must be used for this purpose,
and the proposed location of these areas in part dictates the layout of roads and lots on the
remaining areas of the site. Roads and lots have been positioned so as to avoid these
areas, thereby necessitating road crossing impacts in locations A, C, D, and H. One golf
cart crossing is proposed over an intermittent stream channel (see sheet 1: #1, and sheet
14). This crossing will completely span the bed and bank of the intermittent stream
channel, therefore, no impact is proposed at this location.
It should be noted that the applicant made an effort to reduce impacts to perennial
channels to below 300 linear feet and avoid large, contiguous riparian wetland areas
adjacent to feature G, in the floodplain of Dry Creek, and along the western boundary of
the property (see plan). Impacts are also proposed that are associated with the
construction of an aesthetic pond for the golf course (impacts E2 and F), a driving range
(impact EI), and hole 5 and a water quality pond (impact 11 & I 2). These impacts are
restricted to intermittent stream channels determined to be "unimportant" by the USACE
and "insignificant" by the NC-DWQ and small pockets of headwater forest and emergent
wetland that total 0.0237 acre in size.
In an effort to reduce the impact of the proposed development on the water quality of Dry
Creek, the applicant plans to construct multiple local water quality ponds and preserve
200-foot forested riparian buffers on all the major stream features on-site (see plan).
The applicant proposes payment to NCWRP for mitigation for the 296 linear feet of
impact planned for perennial channels. Because the applicant has avoided impacting
large, contiguous riparian wetlands, because all other channels impacted on-site were

determined to be "unimportant" by the USACE and "insignificant" by the NCDWQ, and
because the applicant plans to preserve existing riparian buffers on the major streams on-
site, S&EC does not believe further mitigation for wetland impacts should be required.
However, if the USACE determines mitigation for these impacts is necessary, the
applicant proposes payment into the NCWRP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream channel impacts
greater than 150 linear feet and wetland impacts greater than 1 acre per project. To
mitigate for the proposed 296 linear feet of perennial channel impacts, the client proposes
payment to the NCWRP to satisfy this requirement. S&EC will be sending a request for
preliminary acceptance of payment to NCWRP under separate cover. S&EC does not
believe that wetland or intermittent stream channel impacts should require mitigation by
the NC-DWQ, therefore none has been proposed.

5. 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.): excavation & dam embankment
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): aesthetic & voluntary stormwater detention & treatment
(the surface areas & drainage areas for the aesthetic Fond & water quality pond that are
impacting waters & wetlands are provided below. Other water quality ponds are planned on-
site in upland areas and are depicted on the attached plans.)
Size of watershed draining to Aesthetic Pond (impacts E & F): 47.5 acres
Size of watershed draining to Water Quality Pond (impact I): 13.5 acres
Expected Aesthetic Pond surface area (impacts E & F): 1.95 acres
Expected Water Quality Pond surface area (impact I): 0.32 acres
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
Page 6 of 10
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant requested a delineation of jurisdictional wetlands and waters prior to site plan
development in order to avoid impacts to jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent practicable.
However, due to site constraints impacts to multiple streams and wetland areas are necessary to
construct the proposed golf course and subdivision. The applicant plans to treat wastewater on-
site using a package plant / re-use facility. Wastewater will then be applied to golf course areas
using spray irrigation for the final stage of treatment. Large upland areas with soils suitable for
spray irrigation must be used for this purpose, and the proposed location of these areas in part
dictates the layout of roads and lots on the remaining areas of the site. Roads and lots have been
positioned so as to avoid these areas, thereby necessitating road crossing impacts in locations A,
C D and H It should be noted that the applicant made an effort to reduce impacts to perennial
channels to below 300 linear feet and avoid laz g, conti ug ous.riparian wetland areas adiacent to
feature G in the floodplain of Dry Creek and along the western boundary of the property (see
plan) Impacts are also proposed that are associated with the construction of an aesthetic pond
for the golf course (impacts Ea and F) a driving range (impact El), and hole 5 and a water
quality pond (impact Iy & I2). These impacts are restricted to intermittent stream channels
determined to be "unimportant" by the USACE and "insignificant" by the NC-DWQ and small
pockets of headwater forest and emergent wetland that total 0.0237 acre in size. In an effort to
reduce the impact of the proposed development on the water Quality of Dry Creek the applicant
plans to construct multiple local water quality ponds and preserve 200-foot (100-foot off each
side of channel) forested riparian buffers on all the major stream features on-site (see plan).
The applicant proposes payment to NCWRP for mitigation for the 296 linear feet of impact
proposed to perennial channels Because the applicant has avoided impacting large, contiguous
riparian wetlands because all other channels impacted on-site were determined to be
"unimportant" by the USACE and "insignificant" by the NCDWQ and because the applicant
plans to preserve existing riparian buffers on the major streams on-site S&EC does not believe
further mitigation for wetland impacts should be required However, if the USACE determines
mitigation for these impacts is necessary the applicant proposes payment into the NCWRP.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
Page 7 of 10
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
NA- The applicant proposes payment into the NC Wetlands Restoration Program.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/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): 296 LF
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) 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)?

WETLANDS DETERMINATION
Hydrophytic Vegetation Present? Yes X No Is this sampling point within a wetland?
Wetland Hydrology Present? X Yes - No X Yes No
Hydric Soils Present? X Yes No
Remarks: Though hydrophytic vegetation as defined by the 1987 Manual is not present within this wetland, because the area
exhibits one primary indicator of wetland hydrology (drainage patterns), it satisfies the criteria of a jurisdictional wetland as set forth
by the 1987 Manual. 11

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints, of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution putposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1. Name of project: Chapel Ridge (formerly known as Buck Mountain)
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): n/a
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 9734-23-9527
4. Location
County: Chatham Nearest Town: Pittsboro
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): Chapel Ridge (formerly Buck Mountain)
Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): The project site is located
1 %2 miles north of Gum Springs, in Chatham County, NC. The site is bounded to the east by
SR 1520 and bounded to the north by Dry Creek. Figure 1 depicts the site on a USGS
topographic quadrangle.
5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that
separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 035.1308 ON 079.0363 °W
6. Property size (acres): +/- 800 acres
7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Dry Creek (16-34-(0.7), WS-IV, NSW)
8. River Basin: Cape Fear (03-06-02)
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Historically, the site was owned by International Paper and
used for timber production. Recently, this subdivision and golf course community is in the
Page 2 of 9
process of being developed. Roads are in various stages of construction. Lots have been
cleared and homes are being built.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The completion of this project will consist of a residential golf course comity and will
entail the use of conventional heavy equipment typical of subdivision and golf course
construction.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed work is-to provide
additional housing for the area. Proposed impacts to jurisdictional areas are needed in order
to gain access to the entire property.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
This project received a 404 permit on September 23, 2003 (Action ID #'s 200320488/
200321187/200321188), and received a 401 WOC on June 2, 2003 (DWQ # 03-0404
delineated the wetlands on-site in 2002. Mr. Todd Tugwell, of the USACE, reviewed our
delineation and performed "importance" calls on the stream channels on-site on November 2,
2002. The jurisdictional determination was issued on August 19, 2003. Mr. Dave Penrose, of
the NC=DWQ, visited the site in December 2002 and performed Intermittent/Perennial calls.
The purpose of this additional submittal is to repermit a previously permitted crossing that
was not installed prior to the August 21, 2005 expiration. All other impacts previously requested
and approved have been completed. The road crossing impacts being requested previously
required a mitigation payment to the NC-EEP. This payment was made in 2003.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No additional permits are anticipated at this time.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
Page 3 of 9
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
The proposed impacts include one previously permitted road crossing of a perennial stream
Proposed stream impacts will total 122 LF.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.
Wetland Impact Type of Wetland Located within Distance to Area of

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The proposed stream crossing has been designed with headwalls to minimize impacts. The
proposed crossing avoided a braided channel system, which is located downstream. The
Page 5 of 9
applicant is also retaining 00' riparian buffers on both sides of all perennial channels within this
development, which is above and beyond the 50' that was required by the County Watershed
Ordinance and is also retaining a 50' riparian buffer on both sides of two ephemeral channels.
The total area within riparian buffers being preserved is 65.4 acres opposed to the 26.2 acres
required. This is the last impact that is to occur within this previously approved subdivision and
golf course community.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions, Wetland Restoration Program
Dear Mr. Edwards:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill or to flood 0.1071 acre of
wetlands and to fill 296 linear feet of perennial streams and 2236 linear feet of intermittent streams in order to construct the
Buck Mountain Development in Chatham County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
on April 4, 2003, and in additional correspondence received May 30, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3404 and 3402. This Certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 14, 18 and 39 when it issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire
when the accompanying 404 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. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and the additional conditions listed below:
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate for the
impacts to streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402 and 15A NCAC 2B.0242(7), this contribution will satisfy
our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B.0233(10). Until the
Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Wetlands Restoration
Program), stream impacts (including fill) shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at [phone] if you
have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration Program. You have one month from the date of this
Certification to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the fill of 296 linear feet of
perennial streams and 2236 linear feet of intermittent streams in the Cape Fear River Basin, Cataloging Unit 03030002,
and 296 linear feet of stream mitigation is required. Please be aware that the Wetland Restoration Program (WRP)
rules require rounding of wetland impacts to the nearest foot (15A NCAC 2171 .0503(b));
2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or
areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds. 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). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from
the 401IMetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands ;
K3. Instream work shall be prohibited from March 15 through June 30 to minimize impacts to spawning fish;
4. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered.
Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) are to be
maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic
life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the
appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be
removed and re-installed correctly.

Buffer Areas
A minimum 50' buffer (each side of stream) has been provided along all perennial and
intermittent streams as indicated upon the most recent USGS map. Within these buffers, tree
removal within 30 feet of stream channels shall be restricted to road and golf crossings. In
any locations where the outer 20' of the 50' buffer is disturbed, the buffer will be revegetated
with turf and natural grass to maximize pollutant trapping efficiency.
• Stormwater Collection and Treatment in Minor Drainage Basins of Phase 2B
This phase of the project consists of 166 single family homesites, approximately 9,7261f of
private streets ranging from 23'13-13 to 27'B-B in width, approximately 5,335 if of 5' wide
concrete sidewalks and approximately 4,4001f of 8' wide concrete cart path along the golf
course. As shown in the stormwater calculations, each homesite is planned to contain no
more than 7,000 SF of imperviousness. There are several small natural draws within Phase
2B where stormwater will discharge. At these locations, the water quality basins or
extended dry detention structures are planned. The remaining water quality basins are
located generally downstream of proposed roadway cul-de-sacs or behind lots in natural low
areas adjacent to the stream buffers or Dry Creek.
Stormwater management facilities shown below will remove at least 50% TSS according to
the most recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Practices Manual. In addition,
this design adheres to the Conditional Use approval received from the Chatham County
Commissioners for the Buck Mountain (Chapel Ridge) subdivision. The following chart

RE: Nationwide Permit 14, 18, & 39 / 401 Water Quality Certification Request
Buck Mountain r ?. ,-,7 r I7 1 n
Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 01-6231
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Tugwell:
N1LiIPdl:iwFIIL
On behalf of Jordan Lake Preserve (landowner), we request authorization from the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the use of Nationwide Permits 14, 18, and 39 for
construction of the proposed Buck Mountain golf course community. We also request
written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality (NC-DWQ) that the project
complies with the.401 Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide Permits
14, 18, and 39. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as well as
an agent authorization form..
The proposed project consists of a single-family residential golf course community. The
project site is located 1 %z miles north of Gum Springs, in Chatham County, NC. The site
is bounded to the east by SR 1520 and bounded to the north by Dry Creek. Figure 1
depicts the site on the applicable USGS topographic quadrangle.
S&EC delineated the wetlands on-site in 2002. Mr. Todd Tugwell, of the USACE,
reviewed our delineation and performed "importance" calls on the stream channels on-
site on November 2, 2002. Mr. Dave Penrose, of the NC-DWQ, visited the site in
December 2002 and performed "significance" calls. In late 2002, the applicant and
S&EC conducted a pre-application meeting with Mr. John Dorney and Mr. Steve
Mitchell of NC-DWQ. A jurisdictional determination has not been issued for this site at
this time. However, S&EC plans to submit the delineation of the entire project site for
USACE approval in the near future under separate cover. No permits have been issued

for this project at this time. Wetland and upland data forms taken adjacent to feature G
(see plan) are attached.
Proposed impacts include stream channel and wetland impacts associated with the
construction of four road crossings, a driving range and 18-hole golf course, an aesthetic
pond, and one water quality pond. The proposed impacts are depicted on the attached
site plans and are enumerated and described in the attached PCN form. The total
cumulative permanent impacts for this project consist of 296 linear feet of
perennial/important stream channel, 2523 linear feet of intermittent
(unimportant/insignificant) stream channel, and 0.1071 acre of wetland.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the thresholds for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge causes the loss of any
open waters. The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands and waters prior to site
plan development in order to avoid impacts to jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent
practicable. However, due to site constraints, impacts to multiple streams and wetland
areas are necessary to construct the proposed golf course and subdivision. The applicant
plans to treat wastewater on-site using a package plant / re-use facility. Wastewater will
then be applied to golf course areas using spray irrigation for the final stage of treatment.
Large upland areas with soils suitable for spray irrigation must be used for this purpose,
and the proposed location of these areas in part dictates the layout of roads and lots on the
remaining areas of the site. Roads and lots have been positioned so as to avoid these
areas, thereby necessitating road crossing impacts in locations A, C, D, and H. One golf
cart crossing is proposed over an intermittent stream channel (see sheet 1: #1, and sheet
14). This crossing will completely span the bed and bank of the intermittent stream
channel, therefore, no impact is proposed at this location.
It should be noted that the applicant made an effort to reduce impacts to perennial
channels to below 300 linear feet and avoid large, contiguous riparian wetland areas
adjacent to feature G, in the floodplain of Dry Creek, and along the western boundary of
the property (see plan). Impacts are also proposed that are associated with the
construction of an aesthetic pond for the golf course (impacts E2 and F), a driving range
(impact Ei), and hole 5 and a water quality pond (impact I1 & I 2). These impacts are
restricted to intermittent stream channels determined to be "unimportant" by the USACE
and "insignificant" by the NC-DWQ and small pockets of headwater forest and emergent
wetland that total 0.0237 acre in size.
In an effort to reduce the impact of the proposed development on the water quality of Dry
Creek, the applicant plans to construct multiple local water quality ponds and preserve
200-foot forested riparian buffers on all the major stream features on-site (see plan).
The applicant proposes payment to NCWRP for mitigation for the 296 linear feet of
impact planned for perennial channels. Because the applicant has avoided impacting
large, contiguous riparian wetlands, because all other channels impacted on-site were

S&EC Project #: 01-6231
Page 3
determined to be "unimportant" by the USACE and "insignificant" by the NCDWQ, and
because the applicant plans to preserve existing riparian buffers on the major streams on-
site, S&EC does not believe further mitigation for wetland impacts should be required.
However, if the USACE determines mitigation for these impacts is necessary, the
applicant proposes payment into the NCWRP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream channel impacts
greater than 150 linear feet and wetland impacts greater than 1 acre per project. To
mitigate for the proposed 296 linear feet of perennial channel impacts, the client proposes
payment to the NCWRP to satisfy this requirement. S&EC will be sending a request for
preliminary acceptance of payment to NCWRP under separate cover. S&EC does not
believe that wetland or intermittent stream channel impacts should require mitigation by
the NC-DWQ, therefore none has been proposed.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): aesthetic & voluntary stormwater detention & treatment
(the surface areas & drainage areas for the aesthetic pond & water quality pond that are
impacting waters & wetlands are provided below. Other water quality ponds are planned on-
site in upland areas and are depicted on the attached plans.)
Size of watershed draining to Aesthetic Pond (impacts E & F): 47.$ acres
Size of watershed draining to Water Quality Pond (impact I): 13.5 acres
Expected Aesthetic Pond surface area (impacts E & F): 1.95 acres
Expected Water Quality Pond surface area (impact I): 0.32 acres
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
Page 6 of 10
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant requested a delineation of jurisdictional wetlands and waters prior to site plan
development in order to avoid impacts to jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent practicable.
However, due to site constraints impacts to multiple streams and wetland areas are necessary to
construct the proposed golf course and subdivision. The applicant plans to treat wastewater on-
site using a package plant / re-use facility. Wastewater will then be applied to golf course areas
using spray irrigation for the final stage of treatment. Large upland areas with soils suitable for
spray irrigation must be used for this purpose and the proposed location of these areas in part
dictates the layout of roads and lots on the remaining areas of the site. Roads and lots have been
positioned so as to avoid these areas thereby necessitating road crossing impacts in locations A,
C D and H. It should be noted that the applicant made an effort to reduce impacts to perennial
channels to below 300 linear feet and avoid large, contiggous s-riparian wetland areas adiacent to
feature G in the floodplain of Dry Creek, and along the western boundary of the property (see
plan) Impacts are also proposed that are associated with the construction of an aesthetic pond
for the golf course (impacts E2 and F), a driving range (impact E1), and hole 5 and a water
quality pond (impact It & Ia)- These impacts are restricted to intermittent stream channels
determined to be "unimportant" by the USACE and "insignificant" by the NC-DWQ and small
pockets of headwater forest and emergent wetland that total 0.0237 acre in size. In an effort to
reduce the impact of the proposed development on the water quality of Dry Creek, the applicant
plans to construct multiple local water guality ponds and preserve 200-foot (100-foot off each
side of channel) forested riparian buffers on all the major stream features on-site (see plan).
The gpplican proposes payment to NCWRP for mitigation for the 296 linear feet of impact
proposed to perennial channels Because the applicant has avoided impacting large contiguous
riparian wetlands because all other channels impacted on-site were determined to be
"unimportant" by the USACE and "insignificant" by the NCDWQ and because the applicant
plans to preserve existing riparian buffers on the major streams on-site S&EC does not believe
further mitation for wetland impacts should be required. However, if the USACE determines
mitigation for these impacts is necessary, the applicant proposes payment into the NCWRP.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
Page 7 of 10
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
NA- The applicant proposes payment into the NC Wetlands Restoration Program.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrv/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): 296 LF
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA

If rperty, }r?itiption is required, please discuss what type of Ritiptigh is proposed (i.e., Donation 11
of Ir Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer I iKK;ion' % thharicefri&, Preservation n or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
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.
Page 9 of 10
According to Mr. Mark Ashness of the CE Group, total impervious coverage for the project site
will be less than 30%. In order to satisfy local stormwater requirements, the applicant plans to
provide local stormwater management using numerous water quality ponds see attached plans).
Please contact Mr. Mark Ashness at [phone] for further information regarding
stor nwater management on-site.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
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.
The applicant plans to treat wastewater using an on-site package plant / re-use facility. The
wastewater will then be applied to golf course areas using spray irrigation for the final stage of
treatment.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
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).

Wetland Hydrology Present? X Yes No X Yes No
Hydric Soils Present? X Yes No
Remarks: Though hydrophytic vegetation as defined by the 1987 Manual is not present within this wetland, because the area
exhibits one primary indicator of wetland hydrology (drainage patterns), it satisfies the criteria of a jurisdictional wetland as set forth
by the 1987 Manual. 11
