LAKE CORRIHER EXCAVATION PROJECT
DESCRIPTION OF WETLANDS IN THE PROJECT AREA
On 28 August 1997, RJG&A visited the north shore of Lake Corriher in Rowan County
(Figure 1) to determine whether jurisdictional wetlands, protected species, or other important
natural resources are present that will require permitting prior to the proposed lake excavation
project. Lake Corriher and its influent stream, Flat Rock Branch, are designated WS-IV-CA by
the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Drainage basin area at the dam is approximately
1.9 square miles.
Jurisdictional wetlands were delineated according to the Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), subsequent COE
Regulatory Guidance Letters, and supplementary literature for determining hydric soils and
hydrophytic vegetation. The lake level was eight to ten feet below normal pool elevation for
several months prior to and during the wetland delineation.
Wetland flags Al through A8 delineate the upslope edge of the jurisdictional wetlands
in the proposed construction area, and flags B1 through B18 delineate the downslope edge
(Figure 2). The area enclosed between the A-line and B-line comprises about 0.7 acre of
freshwater herbaceous marsh and shrub/sapling wetland. Dominant plants are alder (A/nus
serru/ata), red maple (Acer rubrum), swamp rose (Rosa pa/ustris), lizard tail (Saururus
cernuus), blackberry (Rubus species), tearthumb (Po/ygonum sagittatum), knotweed
(Polygonum species), soft rush (Juncus effusus), sedges (Carex and Scirpus species),
spikerush (E/eocharis species), and grasses (Poaceae). North of the A-line is upland mixed
hardwood/pine forest and mowed grass. South of the B-line is the unvegetated portion of
Lake Corriher, which constitutes non-wetland jurisdictional waters. Northeast of B18 the
shoreline is steep and contains no wetlands. The 5- to 15-foot wide strip of wetlands
extending west of B1 and Al is beyond the proposed construction area and was not
delineated.
RJG&A examined the site for evidence of state and federally protected species. Ten
protected species have been reported from Rowan County. Two species are federally listed:
the threatened bald eagle (Ha/iaeetus /eucocepha/us) and the endangered Schweinitz's
sunflower (He/ianthus schweinitzii). The remaining eight species (two animals and six plants)
are listed as endangered, threatened, or special concern under state law. No suitable habitat
for any of these species occurs in the project area, and no adverse impacts to these species
are anticipated.

EXTRACTION AND DISPOSAL OF STUMPS IN RESERVOIR AREA
1.5 EXECUTION OF WORK:
1.5.1 In areas where stumps are designated to be "extracted",
the entire stump shall be extracted from the ground including all
root matter greater than one (1) inch in diameter. This shall be
accomplished with a straight upward, machine assisted, pulling
movement on the stump. Extracted stump materials shall be
immediately loaded in transport vehicles. The "pushing over" of
stumps for extraction, excavating adjacent to stumps to facilitate
extraction, and the dragging of stumps across the lake bed to
transport vehicles shall not be allowed. All holes remaining as
a result of stump extraction shall be left "as is". In the event
stumps break off during extraction, the remaining stump structure
shall be "saw cut", totally severed by chain saw or equivalent
manner, flush to in-place grade, with neat and smooth severed cut
surface. The remaining stump material left in place.
1.5.2 Where contract drawings indicate that extracted stumps
are to be transported to a designated disposal site, it shall be
the Contractor's responsibility to load all parts of all removed
stumps, transport same from the project area to the designated
spoil site, and dump materials at the spoil site as directed by
Town personnel. This shall be accomplished in a safe manner, and
in accordance with all federal, state and local statutes,
regulations, codes and ordinances associated with activity.
Extracted stump materials shall become personal property of the
Contractor upon loading into transport vehicles in project area
and shall remain so until properly dumped at the designated
disposal site. Safe and legal offsite disposal of extracted
stumps shall be solely the Contractor's responsibility, including
all costs associated with the activity and all required permits
associated with the activity. The Contractor shall save and hold
harmless the owner and the Engineer from any claims by any other
parties as a result of transport or storage activities while the
stump materials are his/her personal property.

Drawings or as directed by the Engineers.
1.5.7 If, at the time of excavation, it is not possible to
place any material in its proper section of the permanent
construction, it shall be stockpiled in approved areas for later
use. No extra payment will be made for rehandling stockpiled
material.
1.5.8 Those areas outside of the construction area in which
the top layer of soil material becomes compacted, due to hauling or
to any other activity of the Contractor, shall be scarified and
disked to a depth of 411, or as directed to loosen and pulverize the
soil.

1.5.9 In cuts, all loose or protruding rocks on the back
slopes shall be barred loose or otherwise removed to line or
finished grade of slope. All cut and fill slopes shall be
uniformly dressed to the slope, cross section and alignment shown
on the Contract Drawings, or as directed by the Engineers.
1.5.10 Under certain conditions, sheeting and bracing may be
ordered by the Engineers to be left in place. Any sheeting so
ordered left in place will be paid for on the basis of the Contract
unit price for such work. If no Contract unit price is established
for this work, payment will be established in accordance with
provisions in the General Conditions of the Contract.
1.5.11 Sheet piling indicated on the Contract Drawings to be
placed for the purpose of retaining the stability of soil adjacent
to excavations shall be driven to lines and grades indicated
thereon and left in place. When so noted, depth of penetration,
type and weight of piling shall be as designated on the Contract
Drawings. Cost of such permanent sheet piling shall be included in
the Contract lump sum price.
1.5.12 Unauthorized excavations (removal of materials beyond
indicated subgrade elevations) may be filled and compacted with
acceptable material, filled with lean concrete or corrected by
extending the indicated bottom elevation of the footing to the
lower elevation, as directed by the Engineers.
1.5.13 Rock adjacent to existing structures shall be
excavated by drilling and wedging or by other means approved by the
Engineers. Openings to be cut into concrete or other masonry
structures shall be done by drilling and chipping. Blasting shall
not be done at any time in any part of the work where there is a
possibility of damaging another structure or item of the project.

' EARTHWORK AND SITE GRADING
ROCK EXCAVATION
Boulders shall not be classified as rock unless larger than 1/2
cubic yard. Should rock be encountered in the excavation, it shall
be removed, when removal is required by Engineers, by blasting or
other methods approved by the Engineers. Where blasts are made the
excavation shall be carefully covered with suitable brush, timber
or matting to prevent danger to life and property. The Contractor
shall secure all permits required by Law for blasting operations
and any additional hazard insurance required, the cost of such
permits and insurance to be borne by the Contractor. The
Contractor shall strip the rock of over burden, such stripping to
be done in sections. No blasting shall be done by the Contractor
until he has notified the Engineer and until the necessary cross-
sections of the top of the rock have been taken. The Contractor
shall determine from borings or other means the nature of the
material to be excavated before placing his bid.
1.7 BORROW AND SPOIL AREAS:

:-1
1.7.1 Borrow excavation shall consist of excavation made from
borrow areas within the limits of the owner's property outside the
normal grading limits and/or from areas outside the property when
required for the completion of the embankments or for other
purposes. Borrow area or areas within the property from which
borrow may be obtained will be designated by the Engineers. Borrow
excavation shall be made only at these designated locations and
within the horizontal and vertical limits as staked or as directed.
1.7.2_ When borrow sources are outside the boundaries of the
Owner's property, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to
locate and obtain the supply subject to the approval of the
Engineers. The Contractor shall notify the Engineers sufficiently
in advance (at least 14 days) of the beginning of excavation in
order that necessary measurements and tests can be made. All
objectionable material shall be disposed of as directed. All
borrow pits shall be opened up immediately to expose the vertical
face of various strata of acceptance material to obtain a uniform
product. Borrow pits shall be excavated to regular lines, and
shall be drained and left in a neat and presentable condition with
all slopes dressed uniformly. The borrow excavation shall be
handled and placed as specified in these Specifications for
excavation and embankment.
1.7.3 If private land is used as a spoil or borrow site, the
Contractor shall obtain written permission from the owner of the
land, or his agent, and provide the Engineers with a certified copy
of such agreement.
1.7.4 Borrow pits shall be excavated in such a manner that
they will be self draining. When the Contractor's excavation

approved spoil areas.
1.8.3 All cuts and fills shall be covered with topsoil to a
depth of not less than 4" after compaction. The area to be covered
with topsoil includes the embankments, cuts and fills other than
for structures or paved areas and all graded areas around the
construction site. No topsoil shall be used in the formation of
embankments other than that used in the specified exterior cover.
1.9 COMPACTION:
1.9.1 Compact each layer of embankments, backfill and fill
soil materials to a 95% maximum density for cohesive soils and 100%
for cohesionless soils. Where specifically indicated on the
Contract Drawings such areas as lawns, spoil areas, and/or other
areas as may be designated on the Contract Drawings or as directed
by the Engineers, compaction of soils may be reduced to 85% maximum
density for cohesive soils and 90% for cohesionless soils. If such
areas permitted to receive less than the 95% level of compaction
are not specifically indicated on the Contract Drawings, the
Contractor shall compact all fill areas to the specified 95% level.
No fill soil material of less than 100 pounds per cubic foot dry
density weight shall be allowed in embankments, under structures,
' roadways, footings, foundations, paved areas, or structural fills
of any nature. When the maximum dry density exceeds 125 pounds per
cubic foot the required compaction may be reduced five percentage
points below that specified herein. In the top 3' of fills under
paved areas, slabs, footings, embankments, structures, etc., the
specified density shall not vary more than 3% more or less that the
average density of the compacted soil.
' 1.9.2 Compaction of each layer of fill shall be accomplished
by the use of any type of approved compacting equipment that will
obtain the specified density at optimum moisture as determined by
' the Engineers in accordance with, the "modified" method of test for
moisture density relationship of soils using a 10-pound rammer and
an 18" drop, AASHO Designation T180, Method D or ASTM Designation
' D1557, Method D and field controlled in accordance with ASTM D2167
(latest edition). Each layer of embankments and/or fills shall be
compacted to the required density and approved before material for
the next succeeding layer is placed. Placing and compacting areas
shall be kept separate.
1.9.3 Apply water to surface of subgrade or layers of soil
material if required. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry
all soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to specified
density.
1.10 BACKFILL AND FILL:

specified the individual foundation excavations.
1.17.3 If approved by the Engineers, a network of ditches
draining into sumps located around the perimeter of the individual
construction areas may provide an effective method of dewatering.
The rate of dewatering-is dependent upon the number of ditches or
lateral extensions. The ditches shall be maintained 31 below the
bearing elevation and shall be deepened as required as the
excavation perimeter to improve drainage to the sumps where the
water may be removed by continuous pumping. When the water level
has been lowered, as specified, and, upon approval of the
Engineers, the foundation may be excavated to final grade.
1.18 TESTING:
1.18.1 The Contractor shall include in his Base Bid the cost
of all testing services required under this Section of these
Specifications. The required soils testing shall be performed by
an independent testing laboratory, paid for by the Contractor.
However, the laboratory selected shall be approved by the Owner
prior to commencement of tests.
1.18.2 Specified tests shall be performed on each layer of
compacted fill at a rate of one test per 5,000 square feet of
compacted backfill or fill. However, in all cases, at least two
tests per compacted layer of fill shall be made. Certified copies
of all field tests shall be provided the Engineers in duplicate.

LAKE CORRIHER EXCAVATION PROJECT
DESCRIPTION OF WETLANDS IN THE PROJECT AREA
On 28 August 1997, RJG&A visited the north shore of Lake Corriher in Rowan County
(Figure 1) to determine whether jurisdictional wetlands, protected species, or other important
natural resources are present that will require permitting prior to the proposed lake excavation
project. Lake Corriher and its influent stream, Flat Rock Branch, are designated WS-IV-CA by
the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Drainage basin area at the dam is approximately
1.9 square miles.
Jurisdictional wetlands were delineated according to the Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), subsequent COE
Regulatory Guidance Letters, and supplementary literature for determining hydric soils and
hydrophytic vegetation. The lake level was eight to ten feet below normal pool elevation for
several months prior to and during the wetland delineation.
Wetland flags Al through A8 delineate the upslope edge of the jurisdictional wetlands
in the proposed construction area, and flags 131 through B18 delineate the downslope edge
(Figure 2). The area enclosed between the A-line and B-line comprises about 0.7 acre of
freshwater herbaceous marsh and shrub/sapling wetland. Dominant plants are alder (A/nus
serru/ata), red maple (Acer rubrum), swamp rose (Rosa pa/ustris), lizard tail (Saururus
cernuus), blackberry (Rubus species), tearthumb (Po/ygonum sagittatum), knotweed
(Po/ygonum species), soft rush (Juncus effusus), sedges (Carex and Scirpus species),
spikerush (E/eocharis species), and grasses (Poaceae). North of the A-line is upland mixed
hardwood/pine forest and mowed grass. South of the B-line is the unvegetated portion of
Lake Corriher, which constitutes non-wetland jurisdictional waters. Northeast of 1318 the
shoreline is steep and contains no wetlands. The 5- to 15-foot wide strip of wetlands
extending west of B1 and Al is beyond the proposed construction area and was not
delineated.
RJG&A examined the site for evidence of state and federally protected species. Ten
protected species have been reported from Rowan County. Two species are federally listed:
the threatened bald eagle (Ha/iaeetus /eucocepha/us) and the endangered Schweinitz's
sunflower (He/ianthus schweinitzh). The remaining eight species (two animals and six plants)
are listed as endangered, threatened, or special concern under state law. No suitable habitat
for any of these species occurs in the project area, and no adverse impacts to these species
are anticipated.

EARTHWORK AND SITE GRADING
ROCK EXCAVATION
1.5.1 Prior to beginning excavation and grading in any area
all necessary clearing and grubbing shall have been performed in
accordance with Section 02102 of these Specifications. The area
designated to be graded shall then be stripped and stockpiled. See
also the paragraph in this section covering,tops,6il.
1.5.2 Excavation shall be made to the dimensions shown on the
Contract Drawings with due allowance for the minimum space required
for form work, etc. The Contractor will be held responsible for
the proper shoring and sheeting of all excavations. It shall be
the responsibility of the Contractor to protect all excavations
from sloughing off and thus destroying firm soil for footings and
foundations occurring adjacent to excavations carried to a lower
grade. Failure of Contractor to properly protect excavations will
result in the Contractor having to make such repairs as required to
correct the work. Such corrective measures will be made at the
Contractor's expense. %
1.5.3 The rough excavation shall be carried to such depth
that sufficient material will be left above the designed grade to
allow for compaction to this grade. Likewise on embankments,
sufficient material shall be placed above the designated grade to
allow for compaction and settlement. The Engineers shall have
complete control over the excavation, moving, placing and
disposition of all material and shall determine he suitability of
material to be placed in embankments. All material determined
unsuitable shall be disposed of in designated a d approved waste
areas either on-site or off the Owner's property as required. The
layer of topsoil shall not be used in fills or in subgrades, but
shall be stripped and stored. Approved topsoil material shall
later be placed on the completed work including embankments, as
otherwise specified and as directed.
1.5.4 Upon completion of the various Contract items, all
temporary forms, shores and bracing shall be removed. While being
withdrawn, all vacancies left by the sheeting and bracing shall be
carefully filled with sand and compacted or puddled as directed by
the Engineers.
1.5.5 During the process of excavation, the grade shall be
maintained in such condition that it will be well drained at all
times. When directed, temporary drains and drainage ditches shall
be installed to intercept or divert surface water which may affect
the prosecution or condition of the work.

1.5.7 If, at the time of excavation, it is not possible to
place any material in its proper section of the permanent
construction, it shall be stockpiled in approved areas for later
use. No extra payment will be made for rehandling stockpiled
material.
1.5.8 Those areas outside of the construction area in which
the top layer of soil material becomes compacted, due to hauling or
to any other activity of the Contractor, shall be scarified and
disked to a depth of 411, or as directed to loosen and pulverize the
soil.
1.5.9 In cuts, all loose or protruding rocks on the back
slopes shall be barred loose or otherwise removed to line or
finished grade of slope. All cut and fill slopes shall be
uniformly dressed to the slope, cross section and alignment shown
on the Contract Drawings, or as directed by the Engineers.
1.5.10 Under certain conditions, sheeting and bracing may be
ordered by the Engineers to be left in place. Any sheeting so
ordered left in place will be paid for on the basis of the Contract
unit price for such work. If no Contract unit price is established
for this work, payment will be established in accordance with
provisions in the General Conditions of the Contract.
1.5.11 Sheet piling indicated on the Contract Drawings to be
placed for the purpose of retaining the stability of soil adjacent
to excavations shall be driven to lines and grades indicated
thereon and left in place. When so noted, depth of penetration,
type and weight of piling shall be as designated on the Contract
Drawings. Cost of such permanent sheet piling shall be included in
the Contract lump sum price.
1.5.12 Unauthorized excavations (removal of materials beyond
indicated subgrade elevations) may be filled and compacted with
acceptable material, filled with lean concrete or corrected by
extending the indicated bottom elevation of the footing to the
lower elevation, as directed by the Engineers.
1.5.13 Rock adjacent to existing structures shall be
excavated by drilling and wedging or by other means approved by the
Engineers. Openings to be cut into concrete or other masonry
structures shall be done by drilling and chipping. Blasting shall
not be done at any time in any part of the work where there is a
possibility of damaging another structure or item of the project.

be removed, when removal is required by Engineers, by blasting or
other methods approved by the Engineers. Where blasts are made the
excavation shall be carefully covered with suitable brush, timber
or matting to prevent danger to life and property. The Contractor
shall secure all permits required by Law for blasting operations
and any additional hazard insurance required, the cost of such
permits and insurance to be borne by the Contractor. The
Contractor shall strip the rock of over burden, such stripping to
be done in sections. No blasting shall be done by the Contractor
until he has notified the Engineer and until the necessary cross-
sections of the top of the rock have been taken. The Contractor
shall determine from borings or other means the nature of the

approved spoil areas.
1.8.3 All cuts and fills shall be covered with topsoil to a
depth of not less than 4" after compaction. The area to be covered
with topsoil includes the embankments, cuts and fills other than
for structures or paved areas and all graded areas around the
construction site. No topsoil shall be used in the formation of
embankments other than that used in the specified exterior cover.
1.9 COMPACTION:
1.9.1 Compact each layer of embankments, backfill and fill
soil materials to a 95% maximum density for cohesive soils and 100%
for cohesionless soils. Where specifically indicated on the
Contract Drawings such areas as lawns, spoil areas, and/or other
areas as may be designated on the Contract Drawings or as directed
by the Engineers, compaction of soils may be reduced to 85% maximum
density for cohesive soils and 90% for cohesionless soils. If such
areas permitted to receive less than the 95% level of compaction
are not specifically indicated on the Contract Drawings, the
Contractor shall compact all fill areas to the specified 95% level.
No fill soil material of less than 100 pounds per cubic foot dry
density weight shall be allowed in embankments, under structures,
roadways, footings, foundations; paved areas, or structural fills
of any nature. When the maximum dry density exceeds 125 pounds per
cubic foot the required compaction may be reduced five percentage
points below that specified herein. In the top 3' of fills under
paved areas, slabs, footings, embankments, structures, etc., the
specified density shall not vary more than 3% more or less that the
average density of the compacted soil.
1.9.2 Compaction of each layer of fill shall be accomplished
by the use of any type of approved compacting equipment that will
obtain the specified density at optimum moisture as determined by
the Engineers in accordance with.the "modified" method of test for
moisture density relationship of soils using a 10 pound rammer and
an 18" drop, AASHO Designation T180, Method D or ASTM Designation
' D1557, Method D and field controlled in accordance with ASTM D2167
(latest edition). Each layer of embankments and/or fills shall be
compacted to the required density and approved before material for
the next succeeding layer is placed. Placing and compacting areas
shall be kept separate.
1.9.3 Apply water to surface of subgrade or layers of soil
material if required. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry
all soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to specified
density.

specified the individual foundation excavations.
1.17.3 If approved by the Engineers, a network of ditches
draining into sumps located around the perimeter of the individual
construction areas may provide an effective method of dewatering.
The rate of dewatering-is dependent upon the number of ditches or
lateral extensions. The ditches shall be maintained 3' below the
bearing elevation and shall be deepened as required as the
excavation perimeter to improve drainage to the sumps where the
water may be removed by continuous pumping. When the water level
has been lowered, as specified, and, upon approval of the
Engineers, the foundation may be excavated to final grade.
1 1.18 TESTING:
1.18.1 The Contractor shall include in his Base Bid the cost
of all testing services required under this Section of these
Specifications. The required soils testing shall be performed by
an independent testing laboratory, paid for by the Contractor.
However, the laboratory selected shall be approved by the Owner
prior to commencement of tests.
1.18.2 Specified tests shall be performed on each layer of
compacted fill at a rate of one test per 5,000 square feet of
compacted backfill or fill. However, in all cases, at least two
tests per compacted layer of fill shall be made. Certified copies
of all field tests shall be provided the Engineers in duplicate.

Review of an application by the Town of Landis to excavate 15,500 cubic yards
of sediment from a designated 2.95 acre area within Lake Corriher and extract
300 tree stumps left in the lake, Rowan County.
The'Town of Landis is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 pernlit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant. These comments
are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et.
seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-
667d).
Lake Corriher (17 acres) is a raw water supply not open to public fishing for the Town of
Landis. Work is to be accomplished while the lake is drained, then the lake will be refilled. We
have no objection to the project as proposed provided that adequate erosion control measures are
implemented to prevent sedimentation of downstream waters.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 910/366-2982.

RE: Lake Corriher excavation project, Town of Landis (Rowan Co.)
Project is located in WS-IV-CA watershed. For low density development,
built-upon areas limited to 24% impervious, thirty foot buffers from
perennial waters required. Buffer requirement may be waived for "public
projects such as road crossings ... where no practicable alternaitve exists ..."
(NCAC 15A 2B.0216 (3)(b)(i)(G)).
Project should theoretically not be a problem since the user of water supply is
the Town itself. Hopefully the Town would not do anything to mess up their
own raw water supply.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Bob Wood, Town Manager
Town of Landis
Post Office Box 8165
Landis, NC 28088
Dear Mr. Wood.
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to excavate 2.96 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of renovating an existing lake at Lake Corriher in Landis, as you described in your
application dated September 30, 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
coveted 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 Domey at 919-733-1786.
