Jmments (continued from page 1):
Site 2, Stream F. The stream impact (30 linear ft.) is to allow for the construction of a driveway to
access two lots at the northwest corner of the suhrdivdsion_ At the time of the visit the stream was dry.
A_good stream channel definition and crayfish burrows were observed. Thirty (30) linear feet of
impact is imposed. A 20 ft. buffer is also proposed along, the west side of the stream and 10 ft. buffer
y?p?posed on the east side. Access to other lots is to be by bridge or bottomless culvert.
Stream R The headwaters of this channel was observed in the middle of the site. No impacts are
imposed for this channel- In the past cattle have had access. This portion of the channel was also
may. Approximately 100 feet downstream, ools of water were observed in the channel.
The remaining portions of Stream A and R will be left undisturbed in the subdivision's "open space".
The segments of the streams that flow through individual lots should have deed restrictions.
Approval recommended. Issued from MRO.

Site 1, Stream A. The road is being built in conjunction with the construction of a new dam for a
pond that is on site. The current dam is seeping and needs to be replaced. The seep at the base of
the dam has allowed for a small "wetl and" (.17 acre) to form. The stream channel to be impacted

results from the overflow of the pond. Debris and other material were observed in the channel. No
water was flowing from the pond's sp illway into the channel,

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Site No. 1
The Quintessa Subdivision site consists of approximately 116 acres of wooded land and
agricultural fields located off Underwood Road in Wesley Chapel, North Carolina. A
four acre farm pond occupies a large portion of the southeastern corner of the site. While
the developer desires to utilize this pond, perennial discharge creek and associated
upstream wetlands as amenities for the subdivision, the existing dam is over 50 years old
and in very poor condition.
In considering options for minimizing disturbances to this wetland area and perennial
stream, the following issues and regulations were considered.
1. Safety considerations require the replacement/repair of the existing dam.
2. Wesley Chapel Ordinances require residential developments be designed and
constructed to provide street connectivity throughout the project.
3. Based on topography, a road crossing down-gradient of the existing dam
would cause greater disturbance to the perennial channel discharging from the
pond.
4. Constructing a road on the dam to satisfy Wesley Chapel Ordinances and
minimize disturbances to the channel will require compliance with NCDOT
requirements for a 2.5:1 slope on the down stream side of the dam.
Edwards Land and Timber Company desires to replace the existing dam. Construction of
a dam complying with current regulations will disturb Wetlands Area A.
As a result of these considerations, to comply with Wesley Chapel Ordinances, the
NCDOT requirements, and to replace the unsafe dam, thereby preserving both the
perennial channel down steam of the dam and the ephemeral channels and wetland
upstream of the dam as well as preserve the pond and an amenity for the residents,
Edwards Land and Timber Company proposes to construct a new dam immediately
downstream of the existing dam. Construction of this proposed dam will disturb 0.17
acres of wetlands and 240 linear feet of Channel A.
Site No. 2
Approximately 3 acres in the northwestern corner of the 116 acre tract is land-locked by a
perennial stream (Channel E). Edwards Land and Timber Company desires to construct
four residential lots in this land-locked portion of the site. Sewer and water will be bored
under the stream channel, and the driveways of two of the four sites will be constructed
on either two bottomless culverts or bridge crossings. To allow heavy equipment to cross
to this portion of the site for construction activities, Edwards Land and Timber Company
desires to construct one culvert pipe crossing between Lot No. 14 and Lot No. 15. This
creek disturbance will be limited to 30 feet.
7A
All other stream crossings for sanitary sewer installation will be bored under the stream,
encased in steel pipe, with no stream impacts and no dewatering of the stream. Specific
instructions to contractors for access and temporary stream crossing is included in the
construction plans. A copy of a typical crossing is included on pages 7c, 7d, and 7e of this
application. All sedimentation and Erosion Control measures will be installed outside of any
jurisdictional stream channel and measures will be taken to prevent sediment from entering
any portion of the Waters of the U.S.
Summary
This development is located in an area of low density, with high lot values, and upscale
homes. The average lot will sell for $ 100,000.00 with the average home being valued at
$500,000.00. The intent of this development is to protect as much of the natural streams,
wetlands, and vegetation as possible. In order to obtain enough lots in the development to
make the project cost effective, we had to improve the condition of the existing pond dam,
and provide the street connectivity. If we were to eliminate the stream crossing downstream
of the dam, we still would have the stream impacts to improve the safety of the dam structure.
The Town's subdivision requirements pertaining to street improvements dictate the need to
cross this stream at some location, otherwise we would lose (6) six lots, or $ 600,000.00 in
revenue.

Re: Jurisdictional Determination Request
Wetlands and Waters of the US Evaluation
of an Approximately 120 Acre Undeveloped Tract
Underwood Road, Wesley Chapel, North Carolina
Project No. 315-02
Dear Mr. Chapin:
On behalf of R. D. Harrell Company, Inc., Harmon Environmental respectfully submits for your
review this report summarizing the methods and results of the wetlands and waters of the US
evaluation conducted at the approximately 120-acre site located on Underwood Road in Wesley
Chapel, North Carolina. Figure 1 presents the location of the site depicted on an excerpt of a United
States Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic map of the region. As indicated on this
figure the elevation of the site ranges from approximately 580 feet above mean sea level (MSL) near
the eastern property line to approximately 520 feet above MSL along the on-site creek.
Between April 16 and April 28, 2003, Harmon Environmental personnel evaluated the subject
property. Figure 2 presents the approximate property boundaries of the 120-acre site relative to roads
and drainage features.
Based on a Soil Survey of Union County, North Carolina, published by the United States Department
of Agriculture in January 1996, four predominant soil types are present on the site (Figure 3). These
four soil types include the Baden Channery Silty Clay Loam (BdB2 & BdC2), the Baden Channery
Silt Loam (BaB) and the Chewacla Silt Loam (ChA).
The Bd132 and BdC2 soils are described in the Soil Survey as a moderately deep, well drained soil
commonly associated with uplands. This soil type typically consists of approximately 6-inches of
reddish brown channery silty clay loam grading into approximately 23-inches of red silty clay and
red channery silty clay loam with yellow and strong brown mottles. Underlying this subsoil is
weathered fractured slate bedrock at typical depths of approximately 29-inches below grade. Hard
fractured rock is typically encountered at approximately 41-inches below grade.
Mr. Steve Chapin
August 13, 2003
Page 2
The Soil Survey describes the BaB soil as a moderately deep well drained soil associated with
upland areas. This soil type typically consists of approximately 7-inches of brown channery silt loam
grading into approximately 21-inches of red silty clay and red channery silty clay loam with yellow
and strong brown mottles. Weathered fractured bedrock is typically encountered at approximately
28-inches below grade and hard fractured slate bedrock is typically encountered at approximately
41 -inches.
The ChA soil is described in the Soil Survey as a somewhat poorly drained soil common to broad
flat regions along major streams and narrow flats along minor creeks and drainage way. Typically,
this soil consists of approximately 7-inches of brown loam silt, overlying a subsoil that is
approximately 45 inches thick. The subsoil is typically described as yellowish brown silt loam with
yellowish brown mottles grading into a yellowish brown loam with dark brown mottles and a
brownish gray silt clay loam with yellowish brown mottles. Underlying the subsoil to atypical depth
of 72-inches is a light gray loamy fine sand with yellowish brown mottles.
During the April 2003 site visits, Harmon Environmental personnel evaluated the site for the
presence of streams, surface water bodies, and/or criteria associated with wetlands. This evaluation
was conducted in general accordance with Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual,
published by the US Army Corps of Engineers in January 1987. During this site visit, Harmon
Environmental personnel observed and documented five areas (Areas A, B, C, D and E) on the site
which exhibited characteristics associated with wetlands. These areas were flagged in the field and
subsequently surveyed by Alliance Engineering and Surveying, Inc. personnel (Attachment C).
Complete Wetlands Determination Forms for Wetland Areas A through E are included in
Attachment A.
In addition to the five areas exhibiting characteristics associated with wetlands, Harmon
Environmental personnel observed numerous ephemeral stream channels and four intermittent or
perennial stream channels on the site. The headwaters and banks of these intermittent stream
channel were also flagged in the field and surveyed by Alliance Engineering and Surveying, Inc.
(Attachment C). Complete North Carolina Division of Water Quality Stream Classification Forms
for the four intermittent or perennial streams are presented in Attachment B.
Wetlands Area A was observed in the fallow field at the foot of the dam associated with the on-site
pond. Area A is approximately 0.17-acres. This portion of the site apparently receives subsurface
drainage through the pond dam. Based on the topography, Area A appears to be a Seep Wetlands.
The soil profile observed in Area A appeared to be hydric in nature. The soil profile described from
soil borings conducted in Area A consisted of greenish gray fine sandy silty clay grading into a
greenish gray silty clay with depth. Groundwater was observed at the surface of the ground in the
hand auger borings.
Mr. Steve Chapin
August 13, 2003
Page 3
Area A was void of vascular plants in the canopy and understory. The ground cover and woody vine
plants observed in Area A was primarily Common Smartweed (Polygonum hydropiper). Common
Smartweed is defined as OBL (obligate wetlands plant) in the National List of Vascular Plant
Species that Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary. Plants defined as OBL typically have a
greater than 99% probability of being associated with wetlands.
Wetlands Area B was observed in the fallow field at the up gradient end of the on-site pond. This
wetlands is an approximately 0.05-acres Seep Wetlands located in an ephemeral channel ofthe pond.
The soil profile observed in Area B appeared to be hydric in nature. The soil profile described from
soil borings conducted in Area B consisted of very bluish gray fine sandy silt overlying a light
greenish gray fine sandy silt with dark yellowish mottles. Groundwater was observed at the surface
of the ground in the hand auger borings.
No vascular plants were present in the canopy or under story in this wetlands. The predominant
canopy vascular plant observed contiguous to Area B was Fringe Tree (Chionanthus virginicus).
Fringe Tree is defined in the National List as a FACU species. Plants defined as FACU typically
have a less than 33% probability of being associated with wetlands. The primary ground cover
observed in Area B was Common Smartweed (Polygonum hydropiper).
Wetlands Area C is located near the northwest property corner. Area C is an approximately 0.25-
acre Seep Wetlands located along an perennial stream channel (Channel E) on-site.
The soil profile observed in Area C consisted of very pale brown silt with light yellowish brown
mottling. Groundwater was observed in the soil borings at a depth of approximately 4-inches below
the surface of the ground.
The predominant vascular plants observed within the canopy in Area C included American
Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), Chalk Mmaple (Acer leucoderme) and American Elm (Ulmus
americana). The National List defines American Hornbeam and American Elm as FAC (facultative)
and FACW (facultative-wet), respectively. Facultative plants are defined as plants with a 33% to
67% probability of occurring in either wetland or non-wetland environments. Facultative-Wet plants
are defined as plants that have a 67% to 99% probability of occurring in a wetland environment.
The predominant vascular plants observed in the under story of Area C included American Elm
(Ulmus americana), American Rhornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) and Privet Hedge (Ligustrum
sinense). Privet Hedge is defined as a FAC species by the National list.
The ground cover and woody vines observed in Area C included Soft Rush (Juncus effusus) and
Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). Soft Rush is defined as FACW+ and Poison Ivy is defined
as FAC in the National List.

Wetlands Area D is located in the southeast corner of the site. Area D is an approximately 0.38-acre
Seep Wetlands located in the flood plain of Price Mill Creek (Channel F).
The soil profile observed in Area D consisted of approximately 3-inches of dark greenish gray silt
overlying a very pale brown silt with dark yellowish brown mottles. Groundwater was observed at
the surface of the ground in the hand auger borings advanced in this area of the site.
The predominant vascular plants observed within the canopy in Area D included Sweetgum
(Liquidambar straciflua), Chalk Maple (Ater leucoderme) and American Elm (Watus americana).
The National List defines Sweetgum as FAC+.
The predominant vascular plants observed in the under story of Area D included Chalk Maple (Ater
leucoderme), Northern Red Oak (Quercus ruba), and Privet Hedge (Ligustrum sinense). The
National List defines Northern Red Oak as FACU.
The ground cover and woody vines observed in Area D included Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans), and Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
Wetlands Area E is located in the northeast corner of the site. Area E is an approximately 0.08-acre
Seep Wetlands located in the flood plain of Price Mill Creek.
The soil profile observed in Area E consisted of a reddish brown silty clay with gray mottling
grading into a gray clayey silt with yellowish red mottles. Groundwater was not observed in the hand
auger borings advanced in this area of the site.
The predominant vascular plants observed within the canopy in Area E included Sweetgum
(Liquidambarstraciflua), American Hhobeam (Carpinus caroliniana), and American Elm (Ulmus
americana).
The predominant vascular plants observed in the under story of Area E included American
Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), Winged Elm (Ulmusalata), Sweetgum (Liquidambarstraciflua)
and Privet Hedge (Ligustrum sinense).
The ground cover and woody vines observed in Area E included Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans), and Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
One intermittent stream channel and three perennial stream channels were observed on the site. The
intermittent stream channel (Channel B) consisted of a headwaters located in approximately the
center of the site and draining toward the southeast into Channel A and subsequently into Price Mill
Creek. This channel is generally sinuous, with a weak flood plain present. This intermittent stream
is a first order stream expressing a relatively continuous bed and bank. The bed of the stream is
Mr. Steve Chapin
August 13, 2003
Page 5
relatively free of leaf litter with the exception of minor amounts of wracked material. Roc outcrops
were observed along this channel. At the time of the site visit, no evidence of fish, amphibians,
turtles or crayfish were observed. A completed North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) Stream Classification Form is presented in Attachment B.
The three perennial streams observed on site included Channel E, a first order tributary to Price Mill
Creek. Channel E was described as being slightly sinuous, with no braiding observed on-site. No
natural levees were present, and the channel was incised approximately one to two feet.
Channel A is a perennial channel draining the on-site pond to Price Mill Creek. This channel is a
first order stream between the pond and the junction with Channel B at which point it becomes a
second order stream. Channel A is primarily sinuous with minor braiding in areas. Wracked material
was observed in areas along this channel. Channel A was incised approximately one to three feet
across the site with no natural levees present.
Price Mill Creek located on the southeastern comer of the property was defined as Channel F.
Completed NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms describing Channels A, B and C are presented in
Attachment B.
Based on the April 2003 field observations, five areas exhibiting the characteristics associated with
wetlands, one intermittent stream and three perennial streams were observed on the assessed site.
The on-site wetlands appear to be primarily seep wetlands. The on site intermittent stream
originates in a headwaters in approximately the center of the site, and the three perennial streams
consist of Channel A draining the on-site pond, Channel E located in the northeastern corner of the
assessed property and Price Mill Creek (Channel F).
