All questions in regards to this project should be directed to Land Management Group, 3y7 MColt cC Print Name Date CARROLL AT THE AVENUE NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC SECTION 404/401 PERMIT MODIFICATION REQUEST July 2020 INTRODUCTION At the request of 347 MCO, LLC (Applicant), Land Management Group (LMG) formally requests to modify the Individual Permit and 401 Water Quality Certification that were obtained for "Carroll at the Avenue", a mixed -use development with commercial retail, hospitality, office, residential units, and parking garages. The proposed development is situated on a 44.5-acre site that is located at 349 Military Cutoff Road in Wilmington, NC. In late 2019 and early 2020, the USACE issued an Individual Permit and the NC DWR issued a 401 WQC for this project, which authorized impacts to 0.47 acres of wetlands and 70 linear feet (LF) of stream for general site development and 3.4 acres of an open water jurisdictional pond in order to convert the pond to stormwater use (Action ID# SAW-2017- 02531 & DWR Project 2017-1606). Since that time, the site plan has changed slightly to include a grid road system that promotes better circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. This change in the road configuration will impact a small amount of additional jurisdictional channel (Relatively Permanent Waters) located between the pond and the existing culvert crossing. Additionally, the existing pond will be enlarged and will contain two islands. PURPOSE & NEED The applicant's continued purpose for the project is to construct a mixed -use development with commercial, retail, hospitality, office, and residential units that has access points from major roads and is centrally located within the northern part of New Hanover County to serve both Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach residents and visitors. Impacts are needed for site development and to convert a jurisdictional pond to a stormwater pond. The additional RPW impact is needed to provide better vehicular access between the buildings and to improve the safety of pedestrians. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 44.5-acre project area is located off Military Cutoff Road, between Old MacCumber Station Road and East Westwood Road in Wilmington, NC (New Hanover County) (Figures 1 & 2). The project area consists of six (6) separate parcels. Much of the project area was previously developed and contained commercial buildings, associated parking areas and the Hidden Lakes Mobile Home Park. This development has been removed and the site is currently vacant. A site delineation of 404 wetlands for the project area was performed by Huysman & Bandy, Inc. in 2015 and 2016. The delineation was approved by Mr. Brennan Dooley of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on March 16, 2018 (Action ID# SAW-2017-02531). The project area 1 0 contains 5.2 acres of 404 wetlands and 1,600 LF of stream channel (UT of Howe Creek). Additionally, two jurisdictional ponds are located on site; a smaller one adjacent to the stream in the northern part of the site and a larger one in the southern part of the site. A non -jurisdictional amenity pond is located in the center of the site and mobile homes were previously situated around it. The 404 wetlands in the northern portion of the site support a canopy of black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) and water oak (Quercus nigra), with a moderate shrub layer of red maple (Acer rubrum), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), and red bay (Persea borbonia). Uplands within the site are mostly f cleared, but some forested areas are scattered throughout the site. These uplands support a canopy and shrub layer mixed with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), red maple, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Surrounding land use consists of a mix of residential development and undeveloped and forested land to the north and east, with commercial development to the south. Military Cutoff Road is located along the western project boundary. A mix of residential and commercial development is located west of the road. According to the topographic quadrangle for this area, the 404 wetlands on site flow east and north to Howe Creek, which runs east to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Howe Creek is classified by the NC Division of Water Resources as SA and Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW). An SA water classification is given to tidal salt waters that are used for commercial shellfishing or marketing purposes and are also protected for all Class SC and Class SB uses. The ORW classification is a subset of High Quality Waters. This supplemental classification is intended to protect unique and special waters having excellent water quality and being of exceptional state or national ecological or recreational significance. Because Howe Creek is classified as ORW, the NC Division of Coastal Management's (DCM) Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) setback is measured 575' from the Normal High Water (NHW) line of this waterbody, which extends into the eastern part of the site (green line on site plan). Note that this site was previously developed before any water quality rules were implemented, so all existing runoff went directly into Howe Creek. The pond in its current state already accepts a small portion of the existing site runoff. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS This 44.5-acre site is one of the only remaining sites located in this part of New Hanover County that has good visibility and access from a major corridor and multiple access points. The project area is located at 349 Military Cutoff Road in Wilmington, NC (New Hanover County) (Figures 1 & 2). It has access from Military Cutoff Road, Old MacCumber Road, and Lance Drive. Military Cutoff Road is a major travel corridor that will provide convenient ingress/egress for commercial/retail users. The site is zoned Urban Mixed Use (UMX — CD) and is a designated area of high intensity in the Create Wilmington Comprehensive Plan. The previous Individual Permit application evaluated several on - site alternatives and a permit was issued for the preferred project. Therefore, this document only compares the previously authorized site plan with the revised plan. 2 Alternative #1: Previously Authorized Plan The previously authorized project consisted of a mixed -use development with commercial, retail, hospitality (hotel), office, residential units, and parking garages. Ten (10) buildings and three (3) parking garages were proposed. Two (2) outparcels were also planned. Parking for this alternative consisted of surface (435 spaces) and parking garage spaces (1,600 spaces). Proposed impervious coverage for this alternative was 42.8%. The area inside the 575' stormwater setback (red line on site plan) was limited to 25% impervious coverage. Stormwater management for this alternative was in accordance with City of Wilmington rules and regulations for high density development (impervious > 12%) and SA/ORW rules. Due to the size of the existing pond, this alternative met the 1-year 24-hour pre vs. post water quality requirement for SA/ORW waters. It was also able to store and meet the 2-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, and 100- year pre vs. post storm events for flood control. The project also proposed pervious pavement options (i.e. pavers and/or pervious concrete on surface parking spaces) to reduce runoff and disconnect areas of impervious coverage from the collection system and the wet detention basins. Proposed Impacts The authorized site plan proposed impacts to 0.47 acres of wetlands, 70 LF of a stream, and 3.4 acres of an open water pond. The wetland and stream impacts were needed for site development and access. The pond impact was needed to convert the pond to stormwater use. Alternative #2: Revised Site Plan (Preferred) The revised plan will have the same proposed uses (commercial, retail, hospitality (hotel), office, and residential) and square footages as the previously approved plan. The main difference is that the layout has been slightly modified to take on a more urban feel with a grid road system that promotes better circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. This revised layout has reduced total impervious cover from 42.8% to 37.5%. Much of this reduction is within DCM's 575-ft Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). Only 1.07 acres or 18.8% of impervious cover is proposed within the AEC. As with the permitted site plan, most of the surface spaces will be constructed of pervious material to further reduce stormwater runoff. Additionally, the number of parking spaces has been reduced. The previous plan proposed 435 surface spaces and 1,600 garage spaces. The revised plan proposes 329 surface spaces and 1,544 garage spaces. Some changes to the stormwater pond are also proposed. The existing pond's surface area is 148,625 sf (3.41 acres). The perimeter of this pond will be enlarged to 196,644 sf (4.5 acres). Additionally, two (2) islands will be constructed inside the stormwater pond with vertical walls. The proposed islands will be 22,777 sf and 23,874 sf for a total of 46,651 sf (1.07 acres). Therefore, there will be 149,993 sf (3.44 acres) of open water surface area for the proposed pond, which is slightly larger than the existing pond area. Note that this does not include the area of the proposed forebay, which is an additional 28,279 sf (0.65 acres). 3 The existing water surface elevation in the pond is controlled by a non-traditional wood log outlet weir that is rotting and falling apart as shown in the attached photo. It allows discharge from the pond to flow through a jurisdictional ditch towards Howe Creek. It appears that the permanent pool elevation of the pond is around elevation 13 feet, which is the bottom elevation of the logs. The log weir is approximately 30 to 36 inches in height, which would make the top elevation approximately 15.5 to 16.0. The existing weir does not seem to hold back much water or delay the release for runoff within existing parameters of 2-5 days for water quality. The proposed main pond will have a bottom elevation still around elevation 6.0 and a uniform top elevation of approximately 22.0 feet. Stormwater runoff will be collected on -site by a proposed collection system and discharged to the proposed forebay for pre-treatment. It will then be discharged to the main pond where the discharge will be controlled by a new concrete outfall structure that will allow the first 1.5-inches of runoff to discharge through a low -flow orifice in 2-5 days. Discharge from larger storm events will also be controlled by the new outfall structure and will meet pre/post requirements of the City of Wilmington for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. The pond as designed will also meet the pre/post discharge rates for larger storm events. The proposed measures will exceed the level of protection to Howe Creek than what is currently in place. The proposed stormwater basin will have vertical walls -as shown on the typical cross section. The required permanent pool surface area based on the percent impervious is 14,296 sf and the proposed permanent pool surface area is 149,993 sf, excluding the forebay area. Since the proposed permanent pool surface area is nearly 10 times larger than what is required, a vegetated shelf is not proposed for this project. Also, due to the additional volume of water in the main pond and meeting the pre/post runoff rates of even the 100-year storm event, the engineer believes the proposed pond as designed will far exceed the minimum design requirements. The following is a summary of the amount of stormwater runoff being held back with both the approved and revised pond configurations: Pre -Development Ql 17.48cfs Q2 26.20cfs Qio 56.88cfs Q25 80.48cfs Qso 102.17cfs Qioo 126.82cfs Post -Development (authorized) 14.35cfs 17.99cfs 41.87cfs 71.85cfs 101.68cfs 120.76cfs Post Development (revised) 5.49cfs 8.39cfs 19.19cfs 27.30cfs 34.68cfs 67.73cfs The revised plan will provide better treatment and attenuation for the receiving stream than existing conditions and the permitted plan. 4 Proposed Impacts The revised site plan will impact the same jurisdictional areas as the authorized plan, but will include one additional RPW impact area, which is needed for a road that will cross between the open water pond and an existing road crossing (see attached photos). Therefore, total proposed impacts are 0.47 acres of wetlands, 70 LF of stream, 0.037 acre of RPW, and 3.4 acres of open water pond. The wetland, stream, and RPW impacts are needed for site development and access. The pond impact is needed to convert the pond to stormwater use. As noted in the original permit application, the open water pond to be impacted is manmade. It is not present in the 1977 aerial of the New Hanover County NRCS Soil Survey and this area is labeled as a borrow pit (Figure 3). While the pond has naturalized to some extent over the years, its conversion to a stormwater pond will not significantly affect its primary function of water storage. Periodic maintenance of the pond may need to occur to remove accumulated sediments over time. The RPW to be impacted is a highly incised channel that contains a great deal of trash and debris. The site is zoned Urban Mixed Use (UMX — CD) by the City of Wilmington, which is suitable for the proposed project. Additionally, this site is a designated area of high intensity in the Create Wilmington Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map within the Wilmington - New Hanover County Joint 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan Update classifies the site as 'Watershed Resource Protection Area'. This subclass occurs along the tidal creeks and is defined as the area within %2 mile of the 100- year flood plain for those creeks. The impact that the resources is being protected from is pollutant laden stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces within the watershed. The protection strategy for this subclass of resource protection area focuses on minimizing new impervious surface, retrofitting protection measures to improve runoff water quality from existing impervious surfaces and to promote low impact best management practices for development and redevelopment. Although this is a high -density project, stormwater management will be in accordance with City of Wilmington rules and regulations for high density development (impervious > 12%) and SA/ORW rules. In addition to the detention basin, the project will provide pervious pavement options that will reduce runoff and disconnect areas of impervious coverage from the collection system and the wet detention basins. This will be achieved by using pervious surfaces such as pavers and/or pervious concrete on surface parking spaces to minimize surface runoff to Howe Creek. Surface parking outside of the 575' setback will also include pervious pavers and/or pervious concrete. Note that the applicant has obtained a CAMA Major Permit from NC DCM and a 401 Water Quality Certification from NC DWR. Modifications to these permits are being requested. Potential impacts to federally listed species are similar to the authorized plan. Forested sections of the site may provide suitable winter and summer roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat (NLEB). No hibernacula or roost trees have been identified by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in New Hanover County. Therefore, any associated take from the proposed project as a result of cutting trees 5 would be exempt per the Programmatic Biological Opinion for the NLEB. Additionally, mowed wetlands located in the easement along the eastern project boundary may provide habitat for several federally protected plants. No impacts to these wetlands are proposed. The site does not appear to provide suitable habitat for any other federally protected species known to occur in the area. MITIGATION The applicant has attempted to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts as much as possible during the site design. To mitigate for the additional 0.037 acres of RPW impacts, the applicant plans to remove an existing road crossing located just downstream of the impact area (see Figure 6). Mitigation credits from the LCFUMB will be purchased for the wetland and stream impacts. No mitigation was previously required for the open water pond impact since it will remain a pond. Although the changes to the pond configuration are now proposed, total pond square footage will remain the same and we request that no mitigation be required.

While accomplishing the authorized work, if the Permittee discovers or observes an injured or dead threatened or endangered species, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Wilmington Field Office, Attn: Rachel Capito at 910-251-4487, or Rachel.A.Capito@usace.atmy.mil will be immediately notified to initiate the required Federal coordination. 10. Maintain Flows and Circulation Patterns of Waters: Except as specified in the plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or to reduce the reach of waters and/or wetlands. 11. Sediment and Erosion Control: 1) During the clearing phase of the project, heavy equipment shall not be operated in surface waters or stream channels. Temporary stream crossings will be used to access the opposite sides of stream channels. All temporary diversion channels and stream crossings will be constructed of non -erodible materials. Grubbing of riparian vegetation will not occur until immediately before construction begins on a given segment of stream channel. 2) No fill or excavation impacts for the purposes of sedimentation and erosion control shall occur within jurisdictional waters, including wetlands, unless the impacts are included on the plan drawings and specifically authorized by this permit. This includes, but is not limited to, sediment control fences and other barriers intended to catch sediment losses. 3) The Permittee shall remove all sediment and erosion control measures placed in waters and/or wetlands, and shall restore natural grades on those areas, prior to project completion unless deemed necessary for the establishment of permanent stabilization. 4) The Permittee shall use appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" to ensure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. Erosion and sediment control practices shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to ensure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standards. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project shall remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4). Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures shall be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic resources. These measures shall be inspected and maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events. All fill material shall be adequately stabilized at the earliest practicable date to prevent sediment from entering into adjacent waters or wetlands. 12. Clean Fill: The Permittee shall use only clean fill material for this project. The fill material shall be free of items such as trash, construction debris, metal and plastic products, and concrete block with exposed metal reinforcement bars. Soils used for fill shall not be contaminated with any toxic substance in concentrations governed by Section 307 of the Clean Water Act. Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, all fill material placed in waters or wetlands shall be generated from an upland source. 13. Water Contamination: All mechanized equipment shall be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the Permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division of Water Resources at (919) 733-3300 or (800) 858-0368 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act shall be followed. 14. Aquatic Life Movement: No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate through the area. All discharges of dredged or fill material within waters of the United States shall be designed and constructed to maintain low flows to sustain the movement of aquatic species. 15. Prohibitions on Concrete: The Permittee shall take measures necessary to prevent live or fresh concrete, including bags of uncured concrete, from coming into contact with any water in or entering into waters of the United States. Water inside coffer dams or casings that has been in contact with concrete shall only be returned to waters of the United States when it no longer poses a threat to aquatic organisms (concrete is set and cured). 16. Compensatory Mitigation: In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be provided in accordance with the provisions outlined on the most recent version of the attached Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form.. The requirements of this form, including any special conditions listed on this form, are hereby incorporated as special conditions of this permit. 17. Culverts: 1) Unless otherwise requested in the application and depicted on the approved permit plans, culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter shall be buried at least one foot below the bed of the stream. Culverts 48 inches in diameter and less shall be buried or placed on the stream bed as practicable and appropriate to maintain aquatic passage, and every effort shall be made to maintain existing channel slope. The bottom of the culvert shall be placed at a depth below the natural stream bottom to provide for passage during drought or low flow conditions. Culverts shall be designed and constructed in a manner that minimizes destabilization and head cutting. 2) Measures shall be included in the culvert construction/installation that will promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a culvert or pipe shall not be modified by widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream in connection with the construction activity. The width, height, and gradient of a proposed opening shall be such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow without adversely altering flow velocity. Spring flow should be determined from gauge data, if available. In the absence of such data, bankfull flow can be used as a comparable level. 3) The Permittee shall implement all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure that equipment, structures, fill pads, work, and operations associated with this project do not adversely affect upstream and/or downstream reaches. Adverse effects include, but are not limited to, channel instability, flooding, and/or stream bank erosion. The Permittee shall routinely monitor for these effects, cease all work when detected, take initial corrective measures to correct actively eroding areas, and notify this office immediately. Permanent corrective measures may require additional authorization by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 4) Culverts placed within wetlands must be installed in a manner that does not restrict the flows and circulation patterns of waters of the United States. Culverts placed across wetland fills purely for the purposes of equalizing surface water shall not be buried, but the culverts must be of adequate size and/or number to ensure unrestricted transmission of water. 18. CAMA Permit: The Permittee shall fully abide by all conditions of the CAMA Major Development Permit No. 2-20, dated January 2, 2020, issued by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, which are incorporated herein by reference. 19. Compliance Inspection: A representative of the Corps of Engineers will periodically and randomly inspect the work for compliance with these conditions. Deviations from these procedures may result in a directive to cease work until the problem is resolved to the satisfaction of the Corps.
