Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director December 8, 1997 Mecklenburg County WQC 401 Project #970805 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification Dienst Enterprises, Inc. 19200 Tyree Court Cornelius, NC 28031 Dear Sirs: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.33 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing an apartment complex as you described in your application dated October 20, 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 Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also 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. 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. 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 Dorney at 919-733-1786. Sincerely, Pestonard, Jr. P.E.

Site on Sunset Road Meckl ne burg ou_nty, NC Dear Sirs: On behalf of Mr. Robert B. Dienst, Dienst Enterprises, Inc. of eliaibility to-utilize NWP# 26 to imnact +0 11 acrPc ch n el ,no -pct-IQ5000' If limitation verified by Steve Chapin of he TTSAC E on 8/11/971 and 145 If of i=lmittent stream subject ?,_the 500' limitation (+0.02 2 acre) channel. The purpose of the fill is for general site development and construction of a required detention facility. A small excavated pond which was determined to be non- jurisdictional will also be removed. The wetlands are associated with the upper shallow area of the deteriorating pond and seepage. The small channels not subject to the 500 If NWP #26 limitation did not exhibit important characteristics such as persistent pools and/or saturated channel bottom; macro-invertebrates; reduced soils; algae; hydrophytic vegetation in or adjacent to the channel; or signs of wildlife utilizing the stream; and manifested limited sandy channel substrate. Impacts to intermittent tributaries is 145 linear feet. Total impacts to jurisdictional waters utilizing NWP #26 is ±0.33 acre. The majority of the site is moderately sloped to a well defined stream that begins close to the property line. The soils according to MRCS Soil Survey on site are made up of Cecil sandy clay loam (CeB2, CeD2) and Helena sandy loam (HeB). Although Hydric inclusions can occur within the Helena soils none were found and this was verified by the USACE on 8/20/97. The vegetation is primarily mixed hardwoods in early and secondary succession. Areas in former agricultural fields include old field succession and very dense scrub/shrub overgrowth. SURALARY Surface Waters Intermittent tributaries ± 700 If ± 0.03 ac. (not subject to 500 f limitationNSACE) Intermittent tributaries ± 150 If ± 0.02 ac. (subject to 500 if limitation) Wetlands Below pond* ± 0.03 ac. Associated with Bond + 0.25 ac Approximate Total - Waters of the U.S. ± 0.33 ac. * pond is not considered Waters of the the U.S. The developer will require strict adherence to an approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. and I have informed my client that a preconstruction application to the USACE will be required if the development area changes and impacts of 1/3 acre to wetlands and/or over 150 if to streams required. Best Management Practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. These will include: a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees c) Preconstruction meetings as required. d) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and natural areas to be preserved e) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during construction of the project. f) Wetlands to be preserved will be clearly marked prior to construction to prevent accidental damage to wetlands. The contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland damage not permitted according to plans and specifications. Preconstruction meetings shall be held if necessary with representatives of the USACE and the NCDWQ. g) Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid recovery. h) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface waters. i) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened. Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. Thank you. Sincerely, Leonard S.

Approval from DWQ is required to disturb more than 150 linear feet of streams under either Nationwide Permit 14 or 26 irregardless of whether the Corps of Engineers consider them as "subject to the 500 linear foot limitation" for permitting purposes. The enclosed application needs to be completed and returned to us with 7 copies of the application, supporting maps and documentation. In particular as described in 15A NCAC 2B .0502, we will require you to locate all streams and ponds on the property. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1 "=100 feet) so we can begin to determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500. Please call me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or procedural materials. S' J hn R.

Acre) a nel. The purpose of the fill is for general site development and construction of a required detention facility. A small excavated pond which was determined to be non-jurisdictional will also be removed. The wetlands are associated with the upper shallow area of the deteriorating pond and seepage. The small channels not subject to the 500 if NWP #26 limitation did not exhibit important characteristics such as persistent pools and/or saturated channel bottom; macro-invertebrates; reduced soils; algae; hydrophytic vegetation in or adjacent to the channel; or signs of wildlife utilizing the stream; and manifested limited sandy channel substrate. Impacts to intermittent tributaries is 145 linear feet. Total impacts to jurisdictional waters utilizing NWP #26 is ±0.32 acre. Impacts to surface waters utilizing NWP #14 for the road crossing is ±0.01 acre. The majority of the site is moderately sloped to a well defined stream that begins close to the property line. The soils according to NRCS Soil Survey on site are made up of Cecil sandy clay loam (CeB2, CeD2) and Helena sandy loam (HeB). Although Hydric inclusions can occur within the Helena soils none were found and this was verified by the USACE on 8/20/97. The vegetation is primarily mixed hardwoods in early and secondary succession. Areas in former agricultural fields include old field succession and very dense scrub/shrub overgrowth. ?'I 0, Inn b?l w Wad A9Mr?
