Please find a copy of the 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) regarding the Request for Pre -
Construction Notification for the approximate 22.26 acre site located on 4530 Poplar Tent Road
in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. The purpose of the project is to construct a
commercial warehouse building for industrial use for Griffin Industrial Realty (Griffin).
Background
The site is located at 4530 Poplar Tent Road in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina.
The site consists of three parcels totaling approximately 22 acres. According to the Cabarrus
County Online GIS Database website, the Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs) are: 02-004-
0022.00 (16.89 acres), 02-004-0020.00 (4.54 acres), and 02-004-0021.00 (0.83 acres). The
site consists of agricultural fields, wooded land, and a single-family residence. Surrounding
properties consist of agricultural fields, wooded land, single-family residences, and commercial
properties. Based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map, surface
waters are not depicted on site.
ECS received a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Letter (SAW -2017-01514) dated
August 22, 2017, from Ms. Catherine Janiczak with the Charlotte Regional Office. The letter
states that 261 LF of stream, 0.18 acres of wetlands, and 0.02 acres of impounded wetland area
are considered to be jurisdictional waters. The approximate boundaries of these waters are
shown on the enclosed delineation maps submitted with the original JD request. A copy of this
letter is attached.
Protect Description
Griffin is a leading regional owner, operator and developer of industrial and other properties.
Griffin owns over 3.7 million square feet in Connecticut and Pennsylvania and has land holdings
totaling more than 4,500 acres in Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania
and Florida. With a history dating back to the early 1900's, Griffin has deep-seated roots in land

ownership, real estate development and property management. Griffin has an acquisition and
development strategy focused on the flexible and modern warehouses and light industrial
buildings in strong regional markets in the Mid -Atlantic and Northeast. Griffin targets land for
development or buildings that are strategically located in close proximity to major highways and
transportation, and near densely populated markets. They have a history of developing on
speculation as well as delivering build -to -suits on land they currently own. Griffin's development
and construction work is performed in house by their construction team.
The purpose of the project is to construct a commercial warehouse building for industrial use for
Griffin. The site is located in the City of Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina, and is near
the International Business Park. The site is currently vacant, but is zoned for light industrial use
which is ideal for the intended use of the property.
The proposed development consists of two industrial warehouse buildings, BMP stormwater
ponds, and associated parking lots. Proposed Building A is 136,500 SF and 650' x 210', and
proposed Building B is 147,000 SF and 700' x 210'. Site access will be located off of
International Drive and Poplar Tent Road, and the two entrances and exits will allow for
appropriate ingress/egress for traffic flow and emergency vehicle access. Typical materials and
machinery will be used on-site during the construction process.
Griffin has designed the buildings in an effort to minimize the footprint needed for successful
tenant space, while also appropriately designing the parking lot to fulfill stormwater loading
concerns and traffic flow through the site. Also, Griffin has identified this site as the optimal
location for the two new facilities with the shared truck court: The building sizes, truck court
configuration, parking lot size and location and trailer parking capability is driven by market
demand and is necessary to lease these facilities. The minimum building depth and shared
truck court width of 210' was used. These dimensions are industry standards based on ideal
column spacing and 60 -foot speed bays for staging and shipping goods. Shared truck courts
require ample maneuverability to back trailers into the loading bays. Employee parking is driven
by market and local zoning requirements. The local zoning code requires two spaces per three
employees at peak shift plus one space for each company vehicle. Each building is designed to
accommodate 150 employees each (100 required parking spaces) and 10 company vehicles.
The proposed site layout and stormwater management ponds (designed to City of Concord
specification and meeting state minimum stormwater requirements) are designed to minimize
impacts to the stream -portion of the jurisdictional feature. Unless these features are
permanently impacted, this property cannot support industrial development for which it is
zoned. Avoidance and minimization of waters was performed to the greatest extent possible
with respect to the waters on-site and the space needed to allow successful operations for the
future tenants.
Impacts & Mitigation
Based on the current site layout, the proposed permanent impacts include 132 LF of
jurisdictional intermittent stream and 0.199 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. Based on the total
proposed stream impacts being less than 150 LF, stream mitigation is not proposed. Total
proposed wetland impacts are greater than 0.1 acres; therefore, wetland mitigation is included
as part of the permit application. Mitigation for the proposed wetland impacts will be procured
through payment into the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).

ECS completed NC WAM forms for both jurisdictional wetland areas A and B, in which the
wetland areas scored as low. Based on the information from the worksheet and field
observations, ECS is proposing mitigation for the wetland at a 1 -to -1 ratio. Copies of these
forms are included as attachments.
ECS reviewed the Ribits website in an attempt to find stream mitigation credits in the Concord,
Cabarrus County area or within the Yadkin -Pee Dee watershed. According to the Ribits
website, mitigation banks and available credits are not located in the area. ECS contacted Ms.
Kelly Williams, In -Lieu Fee Program Coordinator, with the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).
According to Ms. Williams, private banks that have credits in HUC 03040105 were not available
at the time of the request. Ms. Williams also indicated that the current DMS rate in that HUC is
$71,772/credit and that credits are available in quarter -acre (0.25) increments. Ms. Williams
also mentioned that an In -Lieu Fee Mitigation Request form would need to be completed to
request the appropriate mitigation credits. On January 16, 2017, ECS received the NCDMS
Mitigation Credit Approval letter in order to reserve the appropriate wetland mitigation credits to
mitigate for the proposed impacts on site. The Ribits mitigation bank request, email
correspondence with the DMS, a signed copy of the request form, and the NCDMS Mitigation
Credit Approval letter are attached to this permit application.
Water Quality Certification
ECS is providing 5 copies of this PCN to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, to request
the use of General WQC 4139. Since the project is located in a Phase II — Stormwater Section,
the Stormwater Management Plan is being reviewed and approved by the City of Concord.

Closing
On behalf of Griffin Industrial Realty, ECS respectfully requests the use of NWP 39 to authorize
the permanent impacts of 132 LF of jurisdictional intermittent stream, and 0.199 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands. The attached permit application, project information, and associated
attachments provide details pertaining to the proposed project impacts.
ECS looks forward to your attention to this request. Please contact us at [phone] or

.B. Project Information and Prior Project History
3d. Explain the purpose of the project:
The purpose of the project is to construct a commercial warehouse building for industrial use for
Griffin, who is a national industrial warehouse developer. The site is located in the City of
Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina, and is near the International Business Park. The
site is currently vacant, but is zoned for light industrial use which is ideal for the intended use of
the property.
Griffin performed an extensive study of the entire eastern seaboard for the new location, and
Concord, NC was determined to be the ideal location to construct the warehouse. Additionally,
commercial properties and industrial campuses are located on the western adjoining property,
matching the intended use in the International Business Park. Requirements for potential sites
that were evaluated included ease of access to highways and Interstates, sufficient property
size for required building configuration and truck traffic flow, and a workforce capable of
supporting the needs. The site met these requirements, and has shown to be the perfect
location for Griffin's new development.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, includingthe he type of equipment to be used:
The proposed development consists of two industrial warehouse buildings, BMP stormwater
ponds, and associated parking lots. Proposed Building A is 136,500 SF and 650' x 210', and
proposed Buiiaing b is 147,uuu bF and 7uu' x 2-10-. bite access will be iocatea off of
International Drive and Poplar Tent Road, and the two entrances and exits will allow for
appropriate ingress/egress for traffic flow and emergency vehicle access. Typical materials and
machinery will be used on-site during the construction process.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in
designing project:
Griffin has designed the buildings in an effort to minimize the footprint needed for successful
tenant space, while also appropriately designing the parking lot to fulfill stormwater loading
concerns and traffic flow through the site. Also, Griffin has identified this site as the optimal
location for the two new facilities with the shared truck court. The building sizes, truck court
configuration, parking lot size and location and trailer parking capability is driven by market
demand and is necessary to lease these facilities. The minimum building depth and shared
truck court width of 210' was used. These dimensions are industry standards based on ideal
column spacing and 60 -foot speed bays for staging and shipping goods. Shared truck courts
require ample maneuverability to back trailers into the loading bays. Employee parking is driven
by market and local zoning requirements. The local zoning code requires two spaces per three
employees at peak shift plus one space for each company vehicle. Each building is designed to
accommodate 150 employees each (100 required parking spaces) and 10 company vehicles.

www.ecsfimited.com

The proposed site layout and stormwater management ponds (designed to City of Concord
specification and meeting state minimum stormwater requirements) are designed to minimize
impacts to the stream -portion of the jurisdictional feature. Unless these features are
permanently impacted, this property cannot support industrial development for which it is
zoned. Avoidance and minimization of waters was performed to the greatest extent possible
with respect to the waters on-site and the space needed to allow successful operations for the
future tenants.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through
construction techniques:
Disturbance of the stream and wetlands shall be minimized to the extent practicable in order for
the proper installation of the facility. The construction techniques shall be conducted in
accordance with NCDENR standards. Temporary and additional erosion control measures shall
be maintained throughout the construction process. Silt fencing will be placed at the bottom of
the slopes to deter sediment and erosion control during roadway development activities.
Temporary erosion, sedimentation, and pollution controls will be installed prior to and
maintained during the entire construction duration and until final stabilization is established.

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 7/8/2017 (Revised
08/17/2017). Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including
determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other
resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that

determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part
331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further
instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary detennination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated MAP DATE. If you
wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and verify the survey upon completion. Once verified, this survey
will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA and/or RHA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is
no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below on SURVEY SIGNED DATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Catherine Janiczak at 704-510-1438 or

C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the nreliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 8/22/2017.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean water Aci jurisdiction for the pariicuiar site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and
obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having
discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may
be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWT) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit,
and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is
hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic
resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and
conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could
possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions;
(3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and
conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a
permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that
permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary;
(5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit
authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance
on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic
resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional,
and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or
enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the
applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable.
Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein),
or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If,
during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination
whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide
an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there
"may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the
subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected
by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Evidence of stressors affecting the assessment area (may not be within the assessment area)
Please circle and/or make note on last page if evidence of stressors is apparent. Consider departure from reference, if
appropriate, in recent past (for instance, approximately within 10 years). Noteworthy stressors include, but are not limited
to the following.
• Hydrological modifications (examples: ditches, dams, beaver dams, dikes, berms, ponds, etc.)
• Surface and sub -surface discharges into the wetland (examples: discharges containing obvious pollutants, presence of nearby
septic tanks, underground storage tanks (USTs), hog lagoons, etc.)
• Signs of vegetation stress (examples: vegetation mortality, insect damage, disease, storm damage, salt intrusion, etc.)
• Habitat/plant community alteration (examples: mowing, clear -cutting, exotics, etc.)
Is the assessment area intensively managed? r yYes rNo
Regulatory Considerations - Were regulatory considerations evaluated? .Yes jNo If Yes, check all that apply to the assessment area.

1. Ground Surface Condition[Vegetation Condition - assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider alteration to the ground surface (GS) in the assessment area and vegetation structure
(VS) in the assessment area. Compare to reference wetland if applicable (see User Manual). If a reference is not applicable,
then rate the assessment area based on evidence of an effect.
GS VS

r" ["B Severely altered over a majority of the assessment area (ground surface alteration examples: vehicle tracks, excessive
sedimentation, fire -plow lanes, skidder tracks, bedding, fill, soil compaction, obvious pollutants) (vegetation structure
alteration examples: mechanical disturbance, herbicides, salt intrusion [where appropriate], exotic species, grazing,
less diversity [if appropriate], hydrologic alteration)
2. Surface and Sub -Surface Storage Capacity and Duration - assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration (Surf) and sub -surface storage capacity and
duration (Sub). Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. A ditch <- 1 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only,

Refund Policv for Fees Paid to DMS In -Lieu Fee Programs (9/21/2009
Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to make clear the circumstances and process under which a
permittee can obtain a refund while simultaneously balancing customer service and responsible
business practices. This policy applies to all refund requests made on or after the publication date of
this policy.
Policy Statement: The policy of DMS is to allow for refunds under certain conditions.
1. All refund requests must be made in writing to the DMS In -Lieu Fee Program Coordinator at
kelly.williams lncdenr.gov.
2. All refund requests are subject to fund availability. DMS does not guarantee fund availability for
any request.
3. The request must either come from the entity that made the payment or from an authorized agent.
Third parties requesting refunds must provide written authorization from the entity that made the
payment specifying the name and address of the authorized refund recipient.
4. Refund requests related to unintended overpayments, typographical errors or incorrect invoices
should be brought the attention of the In -Lieu Fee Program Coordinator as soon as possible. Such
requests are typically approved without delay.
5. Payments made under the incremental payment procedure are not eligible for refunds.
6. Refund requests made within nine months of payment to DMS will only be considered for requests
associated with projects that have been terminated or modified where the permittee's mitigation
requirements have been reduced. Such requests must be accompanied by written verification from the
permitting agency that the project has been cancelled, the permits have been rescinded or have been
rnodified, or the mitigation requirements have been reduced.
7. Refund requests made more than nine months from the payment date will only be considered for
permits that were terminated or modified to not require any mitigation. Such requests must be
accompanied by written verification from the permitting agency that the project has been cancelled, the
permits have been rescinded and/or mitigation is no longer required.
8. Refund requests not meeting the criteria specified above are not eligible for a refund.
9. Refund requests that meet the criteria above will be elevated to DMS Senior Management for
review. The following considerations apply to all refund requests:
a. availability of funds after consideration of all existing project and regulatory obligations
b. the date the payment was made
c. the likelihood DMS can use the mitigation procured using the payment to meet other
mitigation requirements
10. Once a refund has been approved, the refund recipient must provide a completed W-9 form to the
DMS In -Lieu fee Program Coordinator within two weeks in order to process the refund though the
State Controller's Office.
11. All decisions shall be final.

County: Cabarrus
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the L1MS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts,
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Per ilV401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.

Dear Kevin Ferguson:
Secretary Susi H. Hamilton
NCNHDE-4971
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area IT suitabie habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butlerno ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Fulton:
Subject: Site Assessment for a Twenty Two Acre Site on Poplar Tent Road, Concord, Cabarrus
County, North Carolina (ECS Project No. 49:4810)
We received your letter of December 26, 2017 (received via email on that same date), requesting
our comments on the subject project. The following comments are provided in accordance with
the pry visions of the NT E, nvironim.entai Pviivy' I - (-^,2 vT.S. C. X321 et -J.) — coevtivai 7
of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Impervious Surfaces/Low Impact Development (LIDI - Studies' have shown that areas of 10- to
20 -percent impervious surface (such as roofs, roads, and parking lots) double the amount of
storm -water runoff compared to natural cover and decrease deep infiltration (groundwater
recharge) by 16 percent. At 35- to 50 -percent impervious surface, runoff triples, and deep
infiltration is decreased by 40 percent. Above 75 -percent impervious surface, runoff is 5.5 times
higher than natural cover, and deep infiltration is decreased by 80 percent. Additionally, the
adequate treatment of storm water in development areas is essential for the protection of water
quality and aquatic habitat in developing landscapes. Impervious surfaces collect pathogens,
metals, sediment, and chemical pollutants and quickly transmit them (via storm -water runoff) to
receiving waters. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this nonpoint-source
pollution is one of the major threats to water quality in the United States, posing one of the
greatest threats to aquatic life, and is also linked to chronic and acute illnesses in human
populations from exposure through drinking water and contact recreation. Increased storm -water
runoff also directly damages aquatic and riparian habitat, causing stream -bank and stream-

channel scouring. In addition, impervious surfaces reduce groundwater recharge, resulting in
even lower than expected stream flows during drought periods, which can induce potentially
catastrophic effects for fish, mussels, and other aquatic life. Accordingly, we recommend that all
developments, regardless of the percentage of impervious surface area they will create,
implement storm -water -retention and -treatment measures designed to replicate and maintain the
hydrograph at the preconstruction condition in order to avoid any additional impacts to habitat
quality within the watershed.
We recommend the use of low -impact -development techniques,' such as reduced road widths,
grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens, and wetland retention areas, for
retaining and treating storm -water runoff rather than the more traditional measures, such as large
retention ponds, etc. These designs often cost less to install and significantly reduce
environmental impacts from development.
Where detention ponds are used, storm -water outlets should drain through a vegetated area prior
to reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention structures should be designed to allow
for the slow discharge of storm water, attenuating the potential adverse effects of storm -water
surges; thermal spikes; and sediment, nutrient, and chemical discharges. Also, because the
purpose of storm -water -control measures is to protect streams and wetlands, no storm -water -
control measures or best management practices should be installed within any stream (perennial
or intermittent) or wetland.
We also recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious materials (i.e., pervious
concrete, interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.) for the construction of roads, driveways,
sidewalks, etc. Pervious surfaces minimize changes to the hydrology of the watershed and can
be used to facilitate groundwater _recharge. Pervious materials are also less likely to absorb and
store heat and allow the cooler soil below to cool the pavement. Additionally, pervious concrete
requires less maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large voids
within the concrete.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species - Because the entire project is more than
65 miles from nearest known northern long-eared bat maternity site or hibernacula and there is
suitable habitat in the surrounding area, the low probability/amount of "take" occurring as a
result of this project is discountable and we believe this project is "not likely to adversely
affect" this species. Though the project will result in the removal/loss of very little suitable
northern long-eared bat habitat, and the probability of bats using the project area is very low,
we recommend all tree felling occur before May 15 (or after August 15) to further lessen the
likelihood of the proposed project adversely affecting this species. Our concurrence with a
"not likely to adversely affect" determination is not dependent on this action - the cutting
moratorium is a measure that can be implemented to further reduce the probability of "take" of
this species. Obligations under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act must be reconsidered
if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species
or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently

modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or
critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments and request that you continue to
keep us informed as to the progress of this proposed project. If we can be of assistance or if
you have any questions, please contact Mr. Allen Ratzlaff of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext.
