According to our rules [15A NCAC 2H .0507 (A)], if final action is not taken within 60 days, the Certification is waived unless DWQ has objected in writing to your application. Therefore, DWQ has waived the requirement for a 401 Water Quality Certification for your plains to impact 0.06 acres of wetlands or 165 feet of streams for development of Carthage Colonies project at SR 1152 near Hwy 78 as described in your application. However if additional impact occurs or your development plains change, this waiver is no longer valid and a 401 Water Quality Certification will be required.

Specifically, the area shown as Crossing 3 on the attached impact map will utilize an open bottomed culvert. The open bottomed culvert will span from high ground to high ground to avoid impacting any channel or wetland areas. Due to this revision only the use of nationwide permits 14 and 18 are requested to cover impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters (i.e. stream channels) for the subject property. The impacts for this project will total 165 linear feet and 0.0585 acres of wetland. A Pre-construction Notification Form is attached. If any,further information is required or if you have any questions, please call me at (919) 846-5900.

Description of proposed work including discussion of type of mechanical equipment to be used (attach plans 81/2" x 11" drawings only): The proposed work for Carthage Colonies includes the construction of roads required to access the property and the construction of a dam and its subsequent pond. The construction will employ the use of mechanical equipment typically used to complete such work. Purpose of proposed work: The roads will provide access to the property and a connection between Carthage Street and Fire Tower Road. 13 14. State reasons why it is believed that this activity must be carried out in wetlands (include any measures taken to minimize wetland impacts): The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands present on the property prior to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional wetlands to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts 1. and 2 (see attached impact map) impact waters of the U.S. in order to provide access to the individual proposed home lots on the property. Impact 4 is due to a dam placed on a channel which is required to create the pond The wetlands within the proposed pond make up impact 5 and due to the close proximity to the channel, are unavoidable if the pond is to be built. 15. You are required to contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (see agency addresses sheet) regarding the presence of any federally listed or proposed for listing endangered or threatened species or critical habitat in the permit area that may be affected by the proposed project.

A Pre-construction Notification Form is attached. The proposed residential subdivision, Carthage Colonies, consists of the construction of houses and their required roads and utilities as well as the construction of a pond. The 195 -acre property is located south of Sanford on Fire Tower Road (SR 1152) approximately 1.1 miles north of its intersection with Highway 78 in Lee County, NC (see attached USGS site vicinity map). The property contains approximately 7 acres of bottomland hardwood and ephemeral jurisdictional wetlands of which 0.0894-acre and 217 linear feet (including 61 feet of unimportant channel) will be impacted by construction of the residential community. Of the total acreage of impacts, 0.0197 acres (this total includes acreage of important and unimportant channel impacts) are road impacts (NWP14), 0.0109 acres are due to other road impacts (NWP 39), and 0.0588 acres are impacts due to a pond (0.0028 acres due to channel impact of the dam and 0.056 acres of wetland impact from flooding)(NWP 18). Of the total channel impacts, 64 linear feet of impacts to an "important" stream channel and 61 linear feet of impacts to an "unimportant" stream channel are due to the road crossing utilizing NWP 14. An additional road crossing with 52 linear feet of Wetland Delineation/Permitting/Mitigation Soil/Site Evaluations On-Site Septic Systems Environmental Assessments/Audits Neuse Basin and Watershed Buffer Evaluations Groundwater Hydrology Endangered Species -?u -V C m Western Branch Offices: (828) 635-5820 (828) 312-7902 • (704) 516-3922 December 13; 2000 S&EC Project # 00-5534 Page 2 of 2 channel impact will require the use of Nationwide Permit 39. Nationwide Permit 18 will be utilized to cover the 40 linear feet of channel impacts associated with the constructed pond. It is the understanding of S&EC that flooded stream channel is not considered an impact. The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands present on the property prior to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional wetlands to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts 1, 2, and 3 (see attached impact map) impact waters of the U.S. in order to provide access to the individual proposed home lots on the property. The road associated with impacts 1 and 2 is required to connect the existing Fire Tower Road with the existing Carthage Street. Impact 4 is due to a dam placed on a channel, which is required to create the pond. The wetlands within the proposed pond make up impact 5 and due to the close proximity to the channel, are unavoidable if the pond is to be built. The pond will be used for recreation as well as a stormwater treatment structure. The perpendicular crossing distances associated with the requested Nationwide Permit 14 total 40 feet (i.e. less than 200 feet) and the associated acreage of the crossing equals 0.0197 acres (i.e. less than 1/3 acre). Several acres of protective greenspace have been left along both sides of Persimmon Creek and along the unnamed creek as it exits the proposed pond. S&EC, Inc. does not believe that any wetland mitigation will be required. If for some reason however mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program. At this time neither the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) nor the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been on site. If a site visit is required, please contact our office so that one can be scheduled. Please call me at (919) 846-5900 if you have any questions, require additional information, or would like to schedule a site visit. Sincerely, C? ?' (??

A Pre-construction Notification Form is attached. The proposed residential subdivision, Carthage Colonies, consists of the construction of houses and their required roads and utilities as well as the construction of a pond. The 195 -acre property is located south of Sanford on Fire Tower Road (SR 1152) approximately 1.1 miles north of its intersection with Highway 78 in Lee County, NC (see attached USGS site vicinity map). The property contains approximately 7 acres of bottomland hardwood and ephemeral jurisdictional wetlands of which 0.0894-acre and 217 linear feet (including 61 feet of unimportant channel) will be impacted by construction of the residential community. Of the total acreage of impacts, 0.0197 acres (this total includes acreage of important and unimportant channel impacts) are road impacts (NWP14), 0.0109 acres are due to other road impacts (NWP 39), and 0.0588 acres are impacts due to a pond (0.0028 acres due to channel impact of the dam and 0.056 acres of wetland impact from flooding)(NWP 18). Of the total channel impacts, 64 linear feet of impacts to an "important" stream channel and 61 linear feet of impacts to an "unimportant" stream channel are due to the road crossing utilizing NWP 14.

Nationwide Permit 18 will be utilized to cover the 40 linear feet of channel impacts associated with the constructed pond. It is the understanding of S&EC that flooded stream channel is not considered an impact. The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands present on the property prior to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional wetlands to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts 1, 2, and 3 (see attached impact map) impact waters of the U.S. in order to provide access to the individual proposed home lots on the property. The road associated with impacts 1 and 2 is required to connect the existing Fire Tower Road with the existing Carthage Street. Impact 4 is due to a dam placed on a channel, which is required to create the pond. The wetlands within the proposed pond make up impact 5 and due to the close proximity to the channel, are unavoidable if the pond is to be built. The pond will be used for recreation as well as a stormwater treatment structure. The perpendicular crossing distances associated with the requested Nationwide Permit 14 total 40 feet (i.e. less than 200 feet) and the associated acreage of the crossing equals 0.0197 acres (i.e. less than 1/3 acre). Several acres of protective greenspace have been left along both sides of Persimmon Creek and along the unnamed creek as it exits the proposed pond. S&EC, Inc. does not believe that any wetland mitigation will be required. If for some reason however mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program. At this time neither the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) nor the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been on site. If a site visit is required, please contact our office so that one can be scheduled. Please call me at (919) 846-5900 if you have any questions, require additional information, or would like to schedule a site visit.
