Dear Mr. Martin:
WQC Project #970026
Franklin County
On 9 January 1997, you requested a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division
of Water Quality for your project (Beechwood Hills North) located near Franklinton in
Franklin County. Based on our earlier conversation, I understand that you would like to
withdraw.
Please call me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would like to discuss this
matter.
S' cerely,

Dear Mr. Dorney:
The purpose of this letter is to request a Nationwide Permit 26 for the project.
known as Beechwood Hills North. The project is currently owned by Kevin
Martin and is located near Franklinton, NC (Franklin County). The site is shown
on the attached plans and USGS Topo Quad vicinity map. The Corps has
already issued a Nationwide 26 permit for this project (see attached).
A 401 Water Quality Certification will be necessary to impact 0.88 acres (see
map) of jurisdictional waters and wetlands above headwaters for the
construction of a road and two recreational/wildlife lakes. The lakes have been
part of an overall plan (first conceived in January 1995) since I purchased the,
tract.
The lake that is proposed will offer some increased wetland functional values in
comparison the existing on-site wetlands. The proposed lake will be capable of
molding more stormflow and will better allow for suspended solids to settle out.
In light of the proposed development of the watershed, an increased stormwater
flow holding time will assist in maintaining water quality downstream. Also
based on preliminary staking, several acres of wetland will be inadvertently 1 j
created when the lake is constructed. This will be a result of the upper stretches
of the lake containing less than a 12 inch water depth and/or surrounding land
being less than 12 inches above water elevation.
Wetland impacts are to wet seepage areas at the toe of the slope in a partially
harvested bottomland forest and to unvegetated channels. If channel impacts:
were not included, total impacts would be only 0.24 acres.
The subsequent conversion of the headwaters of the lake and some margins of
the lake to wetlands will more than off-set adverse impacts to vegetated
wetlands.

The attached Schematic Lake Plan contains information regarding the sizes of
channel and wetland that are to be impacted. There is no final plan for
development of the land surrounding the lake but I do not anticipate the need;
for further impacts.
Please call if you have questions or if you intend to perform a site visit. I would
like to receive a "tear sheet" for this work so I can enter into a contract for
construction on or prior to 1/20/97.
Sincerely,
Z
