APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Eric Kenny
Altman Development Corp.
2201 Corporate Blvd. NW
Suite 200
Boca Raton, FL. 33431
Dear Mr. Kenny:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in about 0.33 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a road crossing and
apartment building and parking lot at Mallard Church Road and Prosperity Church Road, as you described
in your revised application dated August 25, 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued by the 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, Coastal Stormwatgr, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified
in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be
valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed
below. Deed restrictions, conservation easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with
remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters to restrict future wetland and/or water impact. These
mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit
(whichever is later). Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for
sensitive watersheds (T 15A:04B .0024). Stormwater shall be directed to flow at non-erosive velocities into
the remaining wetlands onsite.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a
written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Re: WQC #970255

Dear Mr. Dorney:
EIAD
AU6.24 1991,
Via Overnight Delivery
Our company is planning to construct a 360 unit apartment project on 30 acres of land located on the west
side of Mallard Creek Road approximately 300 feet north of the intersection with Prosperity Church Road,
Charlotte, North Carolina. Mike Parker inspected this site in May at the request of our environmental
consultant, Peggy Jackson of Trigon Engineering. I subsequently provided you with a copy of our
proposed site plan.
In a June 11, 1997 letter to me, you indicated that our proposed site plan would impact wetlands on the site
and asked that we take another look at it. In a subsequent telephone conversation, you made several
suggestions regarding possible site planning alternatives that might minimize the impact of our proposed
project to the wetlands areas without eliminating any proposed buildings.
The enclosed site plan has been prepared with your comments in mind. I would sincerely appreciate your
review and comments at your earliest convenience. If the plan is acceptable, I would like to request that the
401 Certification be processed and that you contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and remove the
administrative hold on their review of the project.
Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
ALTMAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Comments: The existing wetlands on this site are located in an area
that is experiencing rapid development. Wetlands observed by the
writer consisted of a mixture of intermittent stream channels
accompanied by a series of braided stormwater channels. The immediate
area surrounding the wetlands appears to have been left undisturbed
for at least 50+ years based on the size of the trees and understory.
A very diverse plant community was observed, including an excellent
population of what appeared to be pitcher plants. The existing
wetlands are performing very valuable functions based on its location
in the landscape, and should be preserved to the extent considered
practical.
It should also be pointed out that land grading equipment has
disturbed a section of the intermittent tributary (and associate
wetland) on the southwest portion of the site. The disturbance has
somewhat hindered stream flow in the tributary. This area should be
returned to natural grade and any felled trees removed from the
existing intermittent stream channel.
Altman Development Corp. 401
Page Two
Although the original 401 Certification submittal received by
this Office for this project did not identify the specific wetland
impacts on the site map, a preliminary site plan was faxed to the
writer on June 5, 1997. Based on our review of the preliminary site
plan, we concluded that the applicant has not taken sufficient
precautions to minimize wetland impacts in the layout of this project.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Central Office inform the
applicant that the current project layout is insufficient in its
attempt to minimize wetland impacts. Specifically, the location of the
site entrance and the thoroughfare which travels around the proposed
clubhouse does not even attempt to avoid wetland impacts. The
applicant has also indicated to the writer that if forced to move the
proposed site entrance northeast, it will eliminate one (1) of the
proposed commercial buildings planned for the site.
Such being the case, the applicant should be informed that it is
our intent to deny the project, pending receipt of a site plan which
shows a concerted effort on the part of the applicant to
avoid/minimize impacts to the existing wetlands.

Dear Mike:
As we discussed, I have enclosed a copy of our proposed Mallard Creek Road property site plan
with the wetlands lines highlighted in orange.
Because of the narrow frontage on Mallard Creek Road, this is a very difficult parcel from the
standpoint of creating an adequate site plan. With only one entry from a public street, our options
are very limited with regard to the driveway location.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Sirs:
A ??
ED FE F1
June 11, 1997
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into
0.93 acres of waters and/or wetlands located at Mall and Creek Church Road and Prosperity
Church Road in Mecklenburg County for apartment and commercial development. Based on this
review, we have identified significant uses which would be removed by this project. These uses
are water storage, pollutant removal and wildlife habitat. Furthermore, insufficient evidence is
present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as planned in waters and/or
wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, we are moving toward denial of
your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e). Until we receive additional
information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
place your project on administrative hold. We will also place the project on hold due to incomplete
information.
Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be
constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters
and/or wetlands. Specifically can you construct your project with only road crossings of the two
smaller wetlands and no lot (building) fill? The clubhouse would also have to be moved to avoid
wetland fill. Stormwater management could be done by constructing smaller dry detention basins
and then utilizing the remaining wetlands on-site to filter the runoff from the basins. Finally our
Regional Office staff observed some impact to the wetlands. You are hereby reminded that
wetland fill should not occur until DWQ issues the 401 Certification and the Corps of Engineers
issues the 404 Permit for this project. Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can
supply to address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401
Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and one copy to Mr. Mike Parker at the Mooresville Regional Office at 919
North Main Street, Mooresville, NC 28115. Any final approval will need to be coordinated with
the DWQ Central and Regional Office. If we do not hear from you in two weeks, we will assume
that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. I
can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.

Attention: Mr. Greg Price
Reference: Permission to Alter Wetlands under Nationwide Permit
Mallard Creek Road Project
Charlotte, North Carolina
Trigon Project No. 025-97-030
On Behalf of Altman Development Corporation, Trigon Engineering Consultants, Inc.
(Trigon) is submitting a request for permission to alter a wetland under a Nationwide Permit
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. This letter documents the procedures Trigon followed to
locate and delineate potential wetlands located on two wooded tracts in totaling 29 acres in
Mecklenburg County that Altman Development Corporation intends to develop.

Potential wetland areas on the site were identified based on Trigon's visual observations, ,
USDA-SCS soils mapping, and the 1991 National Wetlands Inventory Map (US Fish and
Wildlife Service) of the area. One potential wetland area of approximately local on the site was
identified in the southeastern portion of the site. A second area, less than 0.05 acres insize, was
identical in the eastern portion, adjacent to the golf course. Due to the small size, not
applications are being submitted for this area.
The potential wetlands identification was conducted according to the January 1987 Corps
of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Vegetation types were identified using the
documents Southern Wetlands Flora (1988, USDA-Soil Conservation Service, Southern
National Technical Center), and the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands:
1988 (May 1988, National Wetlands Inventory/US Fish and Wildlife Inventory). Soil colors

were determined using the 1990 Munsell Soil Color Chart. The Routine Wetland Determination
Form included in the 1987 COE Wetlands Delineation Manual was used to record data and field
observations. A copy of the form completed by Trigon for the potential wetland area is attached.
An area in the eastern portion of the site was determined by Trigon to met the criteria for
wetlands, as defined by the Corps of Engineers. In accordance with Trigon's agreement with
Altman Development Corporation, the perimeter of the area was flagged in preparation for
surveying by ESP Associates. The identified potential wetland area extends onto the adjacent
property. Trigon delineated the perimeter of a portion of the wetland that extended beyond the
site boundary however, this area is not included in this permit application. The potential wetland
area on the Altman Development Corporation property encompasses 0.93 (calculated) acres. The
area of the entire wetland was not determined.
Trigon requests that a written response to this request for permission to alter wetlands be
submitted to the address below and that a copy of the response be submitted to Trigon for our
files.

m
On Behalf of Altman Development Corporation, Trigon Engineering Consultants, Inc.
(Trigon) is submitting a request for permission to alter a wetland under a Nationwide Permit
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. This letter documents the procedures Trigon followed to
locate and delineate potential wetlands located on two wooded tracts in totaling 29 acres in
Mecklenburg County that Altman Development Corporation intends to develop.
Potential wetland areas on the site were identified based on Trigon's visual observations,
USDA-SCS soils mapping, and the 1991 National Wetlands Inventory Map (US Fish and
Wildlife Service) of the area. One potential wetland area of approximately local on the site was
identified in the southeastern portion of the site. A second area, less than 0.05 acres insize, was
identical in the eastern portion, adjacent to the golf course. Due to the small size, not
applications are being submitted for this area.
The potential wetlands identification was conducted according to the January 1987 Corps
of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Vegetation types were identified using the
documents Southern Wetlands Flora (1988, USDA-Soil Conservation Service, Southern
National Technical Center), and the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands:

An area in the eastern portion of the site was determined by Trigon to met the criteria for

Altman Development Corporation, the perimeter of the area was flagged in preparation for
surveying by ESP Associates. The identified potential wetland area extends onto the adjacent
property. Trigon delineated the perimeter of a portion of the wetland that extended beyond the
site boundary however, this area is not included in this permit application. The potential wetland
area on the Altman Development Corporation property encompasses 0.93 (calculated) acres. The
area of the entire wetland was not determined.
Trigon requests that a written response to this request for permission to alter wetlands be

On Behalf of Altman Development Corporation, Trigon Engineering Consultants, Inc.
(Trigon) is submitting a request for permission to alter a wetland under a Nationwide Permit
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. This letter documents the procedures Trigon followed to
locate and delineate potential wetlands located on two wooded tracts in totaling 29 acres in
Mecklenburg County that Altman Development Corporation intends to develop.
Potential wetland areas on the site were identified based on Trigon's visual observations,
USDA-SCS soils mapping, and the 1991 National Wetlands Inventory Map (US Fish and
Wildlife Service) of the area. One potential wetland area of approximately local on the site was
identified in the southeastern portion of the site. A second area, less than 0.05 acres insize, was

Form included in the 1987 COE Wetlands Delineation Manual was used to record data and field

An area in the eastern portion of the site was determined by Trigon to met the criteria for
