APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Fisher:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 296 linear feet of intermittent streams
in order to construct the Hattie Meadows Subdivision Project in Mecklenburg County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 1, 2003, and in subsequent discussions with staff of the DWQ Mooresville Regional Office. After
reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be
viewed on our web site at htto:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when
it is issued by the U.S. Army 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 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 in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. 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, as well as the additional condition
listed below:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within
50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. 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). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit
web site at httr):Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands ;
2. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles at the outlet of the fill area are
not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including
the pattern and profile) are to be maintained at the lower end of the stream.
Use of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or
other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the
Division of Water Quality;
3. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form to notify
NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached
form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Alan Johnson in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office in
Raleigh 919-733-9721.

Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 20, 2003
SUBJECT: Review of 401 Certification Application, Hattie Meadows Subdivision,
NWP 39, Mecklenburg County
Landeraft Properties is requesting 401 Water Quality Certification from the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by
the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the
project area. 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).
Unavoidable impacts to 296 linear feet of unimportant intermittent stream channel
are proposed for a residential subdivision. The applicant proposes to avoid 108 linear
feet of important intermittent channel. Impacts are located on a tributary of Stonyk4wk,
which is tributary to Mallard Creek and the Rocky River. Suitable habitats may iv
present in the river basin for the Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), a fe'deral
endangered species and the Carolina darter (Etheostoma collis collis), a fedipraj species of
concern or listed aquatic species.
Based on our review of the project submittal, we will not object to the 401
Certification; however, we continue to be concerned about incremental cumulative and
secondary impacts within the Rocky River Basin. Avoidance and minimization of
stormwater impacts associated with increased imperviousness by the development should
be considered and provided to the extent practicable. Low Impact Development (LID)
techniques should be beneficial. Information about LIDs may be found at
www.lowimpactdevelo-pment.org. Naturally vegetated undisturbed permanent fifty (50)

foot buffers should be provided through protective fencing, deed restrictions and/or other
legal methodologies along remaining jurisdictional channels. Understory vegetation is
important to many species of birds and wildlife so we recommend preservation of small
caliber plants within buffer areas.

Existing Conditions
The Hattie Meadows Subdivision Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, approximately
two miles west of the Interstate 85 (I-85) - Mallard Creek Church Road interchange
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 24
acres of wooded area into a residential subdivision. Landcraft Properties has retained Carolina
Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for this project
(Attachment B). The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Current Land Use
The current land use for this project consists of undeveloped forest. Dominant canopy vegetation
includes red maple (Acer rubrum), red elm (Ulmus rubra), northern red oak (Quercus rubra),
Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciua), willow oak
(Quercus phellos), red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera).
Dominant understory vegetation includes Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), catbriar
(Smilax rotundifolia), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
Jurisdictional Delineation
From June 6-13, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, Isaac Hinson, and Matt Faircloth delineated on-
site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.' using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine
On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual.2 No wetland areas were identified within the project limits. A Routine
On-Site Data Form representative of on-site upland areas has been included as Attachment C.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ)3 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and
USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Stream A have been included as
Attachments D and E.
1 "Jurisdictional waters of the U.S." includes essentially all surface waters such as: all navigable waters and their tributaries, all
interstate waters and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.

The results of the on-site field investigations indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel
(Stream A) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figure 3). Stream A is an unnamed
tributary to Stony Creek. Stony Creek is part of the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)4 and is
classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ. CWS is requesting written verification of the
determination of the Stream A (Attachment F).
Stream A generally flows northeast across the center of the project area for approximately 423
linear feet (Attachment A - Figure 3). Approximately 108 linear feet of the downstream portion
of Stream A was evaluated to be Important Intermittent. This portion of Stream A exhibits a
two-foot average ordinary high water width, moderate sinuosity, and channel substrate consisting
of coarse sand to cobble (Attachments D and E - SCP 1). This portion of Stream A scored 25 out
of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of Important
Intermittent Stream A is included as Attachment G - Photograph A.
Approximately 315 linear feet (0.011 acre)5 of the upstream portion of Stream A was evaluated
to be Unimportant Intermittent. This segment of Stream A exhibits a one to two-foot average
ordinary high water width, a weak bankfull bench, and stream substrate consisting of coarse sand
to gravel (Attachments D and E - SCP2). This portion of Stream A scored 18 out of a possible
71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A is included as Attachment G - Photograph B.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 7, 2002, to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, of archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. In a letter dated October 29, 2002, SHPO stated that they
" ... are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project, and therefore,
have no comment on the undertaking as proposed" (Attachment H).
4 "HU#" is the Hydrologic Unit Code. Hydrologic Unit Map, State of North Carolina. U.S. Geological Survey. 1974.
5 Approximate acreage of Unimportant Intermittent channel was calculated using a 1.5-foot average ordinary high water width.
Hattie Meadows Subdivision Project April 30, 2003
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Application Project No. 2002-0212
Protected Species
Letters were forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) and U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on October 7, 2002 to determine the presence of any federally-
listed or candidate endangered or threatened species or critical habitat located within the project
area. In a letter dated October 17, 2002, the NCNHP indicated that they have no record of any
rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at or within 3/4 mile of the
site (Attachment H). To date, no response has been received from the USFWS.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 24 acres of wooded area into a
residential subdivision. This project is intended to provide single-family housing to an area that
is experiencing significant population growth.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Under the Proposed Site Plan, 100% (108 linear feet) of Important Intermittent
Stream A will be avoided (Attachment J - Figure 5). An additional 19 linear feet of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A and portions of the surrounding forest will also be avoided. Forested areas
to be avoided are labeled as "COMMON OPEN SPACE" in Figures 4 and 5. The Site Plan has
also minimized impervious coverage to 26% of the project area. Temporary sediment basins will
be constructed along both sides of Important Intermittent Stream A to protect downstream waters
during construction. These measures will be removed and a riparian zone will be allowed to
reestablish after construction is complete.
Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
Proposed impacts will total approximately 296 linear feet of Unimportant Intermittent Stream A.
Impacts will result from filling the channel to accommodate the proposed site grades and road
crossing (Attachment J - Figure 5). On behalf of Landcraft Properties, CWS is submitting a Pre-
Construction Notification application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands

' VII. Impact Justification Avoidance and Minimization
( )
' Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
' practicable. Under the Proposed Site Plan, 100% (108 linear feet of portant Intermittent
Stream A will be avoided (Attachment J - Figure 5). An additional 19 linear feet of
Unimportant Intermittent Stream A and portions of the surrounding forest will also be
' avoided. Forested areas to be avoided are labeled as "COMMON OPEN SPACE" in Figures
4 and 5. Temporary sediment basins will be constructed along both sides of Important
Intermittent Stream A to protect downstream waters during construction. These measures
will be removed and a riparian zone will be allowed to reestablish after construction is
' complete.
VIII. Mitigation
' Based on the limited extent of the impacts to jurisdictional areas, no mitigation is being, proposed at this
time.

Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at htta:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/wry/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

' XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
' Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
' Currently, the site contains no impervious acreage as it is comprised of undeveloped forest. The
proposed impervious coverage will total approximately 358,565 square feet, or 26% of the total
project area. A forested area, labeled "COMMON OPEN SPACE" in Figures 4 and 5 and
' located between the proposed development and Stony Creek, will be preserved and should
provide a buffer to protect Stony Creek and its downstream waters.
' XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
' wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Each home will be connected to the public sanitary sewer system.
