Chad Coburn
Re: Isolated Wetland Permit for Holy Cross Church
Dear Mr. Coburn:
This letter is in reference to your request to explain avoidance and minimization on the proposed
project.
To start on a "side note," I was given an approved stormwater plan for the original plan
submitted to DWQ for the Isolated Wetland Fill Permit. The stormwater plan, attached, is dated
7/8/2008.
What I would like to work out with stormwater and 401 is seeing if we can get together to get a
single process to work out the issues. Meaning, I don't want for stormwater to get approved with
401 review, but then the 401 review ends up requesting information prior to approval. Changes
in the 401 permit application likely will require changes to the already-approved stormwater
plan. This increases time and cost to the client/citizen while making it look like none of us
(consultants & state personnel) have it "together."
In this case, 401 is now requesting information that could have been obtained during the
stormwater application process. Since my client has an approved stormwater plan, they want to
get a wetland permit to implement the stormwater plan. It seems to me that DWQ has indirectly
approved the 401 permit since 401 has reviewed the stormwtaer application and did not request
any additional information at that time or in that application process. The DWQ should know
that the client will be applying for a 401 permit based on the plans and information submitted in
the stormwater application.
By approving a plan that requires the full wetland fill of 41,857.37 square feet without any
comment or additional requests, it seems to me that tacit approval of the required 401 would also
be included in that approval. Else, how can the Church build the stormwater plan as approved?
holy Cross: Practical6e Project [2/8]
sr-6I
While that issue (stormwater and 401) is not likely to be resolved in the short term, I think the
project's overall purpose would be frustrated if the requested fill is not permitted-especially
now when the proposed wetland impacts only total 21,771 square feet.
The church is not proposing to impact wetlands along the northern property boundary, and has,
through this avoidance, minimized impacts to the site in light of the overall project purpose.
Holy Cross is hoping to provide a full set of religious and community services and a location for
the congregation and the community to worship, meet, and recreate. The church's purpose is to
develop property to service the Church's purpose of housing their structures of worship (main
buildings, classrooms, etc.), providing parking required by county regulations, and providing for
use of open space on their property for church and community functions which include but are
not limited to Easter Sunday worship services, other church services (Easter Egg hunts, picnics,
fund raisers, etc.), recreational facilities for the church and churchgoers (soccer, kickball, picnics,
etc.), and services and activities for youth ministry events/activities.
Proposing a site with a total area of 4.92 acres and retaining a wetland, just shy of a 1/10'x' of an
acre, appears to be in line with other churches in the area when considering the overall project
purpose. Since the review of the wetlands on-site, the proposed impacts to isolated wetlands
totals 21,771 square feet, or 0.49979 acre, of wetland fill.
The Division of Water Quality asks the public to determine if their project has planned for
avoidance (Has the project been designed to avoid impacts to wetlands, streams and other natural
resources to the extent practicable?) and minimization (Where project impacts are unavoidable,
is the project designed such that the impacts have been minimized to the extent practicable?) of
wetland impacts. Both "avoidance" and "minimization" are considered "to the extent
practicable."
Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines define a "practicable" as what "is available and capable of being
done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall
project purposes." In this case, "overall project purpose" is defined as providing all of the
services a church normally provides to its members including structures for worship, education,
and gatherings and, in addition, to provide for outside activities including, but not limited to,
outdoor worship services (e.g., Easter Sunday), recreational religious activities (e.g., Easter egg
hunts,sports leagues such as Halo Hoops, playgrounds, picnics, and other youth ministry events).
Noiy Cross: rractica& Froject [518]

I don't know of a many churches that do not have significant area (e.g., lawn or other upland
area) for use by the church and its members. Please let me know why the DWQ thinks that the
Church's proposed impacts, when looked at in light of the overall project purpose, are
"unreasonable" or not practicable.
The Churches in the area include:
1. Myrtle Grove Presbyterian Church is located at 800 Piner Road and has over 15 acres of
area, including large grassed areas adjacent to and behind the Church;
Holy Cross: Practicalbe Project [9-/81
5E-6i
2. Myrtle Grove Baptist Church is located at 5524 Myrtle Grove Road and has 4.25 acres of
area, including a large grassed area adjacent to and behind the Church;
3. United Advent Christian Church is located at 4912 S. College Road and has 5.42 acres of
upland
area and a large grassed area adjacent to and north of the church;
HoI.9 Cross: Practicalbe Project [5181 5 E-6'
4. Vineyard Community Church is located at 4702 S. College Road and has 12.24 acres of
upland, and a large grassed area adjacent to and north of the church;
holy Cross: Practical6e Project [618)
SEG
5. The future site of Water of Life Lutheran Church is located at 480 Golden Road and has
5.4 acres:

6. The list could continue...
To summarize, similar churches provide for large areas to provide worship, gathering, and
recreational areas for their congregation and the community. Most churches in the area have
areas for outdoor and/or indoor recreation, and most churches use such areas as part of their
religious and non-religious community-oriented outreach programs (e.g., youth ministry, etc.).
hoI y Cross: Practicalbe Project [718]
SEGO
There may be churches that do not have or want such areas and, generally, do not provide the
overall scope of services for their congregation. Such a church appears to be the Federal Point
Pentacostal that is located at 629 Piner Road and is located on a very small lot (about 1 acre).
However, the Pentacostal church has position papers on organized sports (See
http://www.spiritualabuse.orp-/issues/position/sports.html) that states:
Adopted by the General Board and presented to the General Conference in the
form of a recommendation in 1984
Whereas the General Board has carefully and prayerfully considered the
matter of organized sports and the effects it could have upon our churches,
and
Whereas organized sports as the world knows it has an attitude and
appearance that oppose Pentecostal principles, teachings, and standards, and
Whereas we would be entering into an area that could adversely affect our
doctrine of separation, and
Whereas in the interest of preserving the beautiful things of holiness and
dedication given to us by prayerful, godly men who sacrificed and suffered
for the great cause we represent,
The General Board recommends that United Pentecostals refrain from
participating in organized sports. This recommendation is not to restrict
the local church in its recreational activities which offer good wholesome
exercise and Christian fellowship.
Due to this and other religious positions taken by Pentacostal churches in general, I do not think
the Pentacostal church should be used as a reasonable or practicable comparison to the Holy
Cross Church.
Hoiy Cross: Practical6e Project [8/8]
sr-6I
In summary, denying the proposed permit would deny Holy Cross the ability to provide the
services it seeks to provide and would frustrate and prevent the overall project purpose from
being realized, especially when similar churches in the area provide similar or significantly more
area for use by their congregation.
I think that 401 needs to look at the proposed project in light of the overall project purpose and
decide whether the impacts requested are practicable in light of the overall project purpose. If
the overall project purpose is practicable (and I think it is), DWQ, in my opinion, should issue
the permit to fill the 21,771 square feet (just shy of 0.50 acre) of low-quality isolated wetland
found on the subject parcels so the church can provide all of the services expected of this church
and all of the services proposed to be provided by this church.
Let me know how you want to proceed.
Sincerely,
James

Wet Detention Basin Operation and Maintenance Agreement
I will keep a maintenance record on this BMP. This maintenance record will be kept in a
log in a known set location. Any deficient BMP elements noted in the inspection will be
corrected, repaired or replaced immediately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity
of structures, safety of the public, and the removal efficiency of the BMP.
The wet detention basin system is defined as the wet detention basin,

incorporate pretreatment other than a forebay.
Important maintenance procedures:
Immediately after the wet detention basin is established, the plants on the
vegetated shelf and perimeter of the basin should be watered twice weekly if
needed, until the plants become established (commonly six weeks).
No portion of the wet detention pond should be fertilized after the first initial
fertilization that is required to establish the plants on the vegetated shelf.
- Stable groundcover should be maintained in the drainage area to reduce the
sediment load to the wet detention basin.
- If the basin must be drained for an emergency or to perform maintenance, the
flushing of sediment through the emergency drain should be minimized to the
maximum extent practical.
- Once a year, a dam safety expert should inspect the embankment.
After the wet detention pond is established, it should be inspected once a month and
within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches (or 1.5 inches if in a
Coastal County). Records of operation and maintenance should be kept in a known set
location and must be available upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.
