Cyndi,
I received this a-mail from Paul Williams, Project Engineer with a local development company requesting our
assistance. When I read through the a-mail and information that DWQ was requesting, it came to me that the local
office may not have an understanding of the current environmental regulations that the Town enforces in the Lower
Abbott's Creek Sewer Service Area. In fact, at least one of the DWQ guys that worked with us on the permitting
process is no longer with the State.
In order for the Town to receive SRL funds to extend sewer into this area we amended our 201 Plan, prepared an
E.A., updated and added environmental regulations, adopted a Secondary and Cumulative Impact Plan along with
stream buffer requirements, etc. All of these regulations are enforced through the zoning and plan review process.
I would prefer not to get pulled into this process again. All the measures are in place to satisfy secondary and
cumulative impacts for the entire Lower Abbott's Creek Sewer Service Area as identified in the 201 Amendment.
Rather than trying to copy a book 3 inches thick for the local office, I'm attaching a picture of the book. If this book
could be located in the DWQ office, could someone quickly verify of its existence and approval and let the local
office know we went through a long process to ensure DWQ that secondary and cumulative impacts will be
adequately addressed? I have also attached a copy of my letter to Mr. McMillan with accompanying FONSI
approval.
I hope you can help us with this issue and please keep us informed of your findings.

Tim/Russell,
First, thank you both for your interest in helping us resolve this permitting issue. As I said, the issue is a surprise to
us because we understood just as you both do that cumulative impact concerns were already resolved through the
Abbotts Creek permitting process.
The brief summary is that in requesting PCNs for the first two sanitary sewer creek crossings at Carrollton we are in
a delay as we prepare additional information addressing planned mitigation of cumulative impacts. We are trying to
satisfy DWQ in Raleigh and avoid individual certification of the crossings, which will result in a public comment
period and further delay. Based on the conversation we had yesterday with Daryl Lamb of DWQ, Mark Taylor with
Ecologic (our environmental consultant from Greensboro) created the list below of information that we think is
needed and who would have that information.
I've copied out the entire list with which includes PM and Gupton's next steps so you can see what we are pulling
together. We do expect a letter from Daryl Lamb further clarifying the need list for resubmitting the PCN.
Tim, after talking with you, it appears that all items under Town of Kernersville are already in place, and most likely
already in the hands of DWQ in Raleigh from when the Abbotts permit was completed. From my interpretation, the
only thing that may need further clarification pertains to item 6, and that is because WQC 3631 just came out this
past Monday, March 19. It is attached. Otherwise, depending on how we proceed we may need to pull together
hard copies of this documentation to include in our submittal.
Our goal is to get our items resubmitted by the end of next week. If we need to get together early next week, I am

available at your convenience either in person or by telephone to address other strategies to solve this issue.
Again, the list of items we derived from our meeting with Daryl Lamb are listed at the bottom of the message.
Thanks again for your assistance. It is truly appreciated. I am thankful to have you both willing to assist us and
being as responsive as you have already been.
Sincerely,
Paul

Items to
PM Development
1. Address in writing any legal restrictions (deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, etc.) on future land transfers
with emphasis on limitations on 1) impacts to jurisdictional waters, 2) watershed protection, 3) compliance with
local and state erosion control and stormwater management requirements, etc.
2. Address status of zoning approvals, special use permits, conditional uses, and any other special conditions
imposed by the local planning authority.
3. Explain in more detail what PM's role is and how PM will influence future development of the project.
4. Explain the status of additional property acquisition beyond what is currently controlled (249 acres?).
5. Clarify what acreage should be included in this application (probably only that which is currently owned and has
been given a formal jurisdictional determination by the Corps).
The goal here is to assure and convince DWQ that PM has adequate controls in place to assure that future project
development won't exceed proposed impacts or violate current permits and certifications, and that future changes
in current plans will be brought to the attention of local and state agencies for permit modifications as needed.
Town of Kernersville
1. Provide complete documentation of the "comprehensive environmental review" referenced in the letter from
Tim Shields dated February 27, 2007.
2. Provide correspondence from DWQ regarding the environmental review and their acceptance of it.
3. Provide complete documentation of any resulting agreement(s) with DWQ.
4. Summarize conditions of the agreement with DWQ relative to cumulative impacts to jurisdictional waters,
watershed restrictions and stormwater management in the basin, with citations of document page and
paragraph.
Provide complete documentation of local watershed protection and stormwater management ordinances and
explain how the local ordinance is at least as stringent as applicable state watershed protection and stormwater
management rules.
6. Explain how the local ordinance(s) address(es) additional stormwater management BMP's required in water
supply watersheds by DWQ in WQC 3631 (Condition 4) (attached). Note deviations from those requirements if
any.

7. Explain review procedures for stormwater plan approval (and provide procedural documentation if available).
8. Explain any caps on impervious area associated with the project, project-specific zoning, water supply
watersheds, and/or the Abbott's Creek basin.
The goal here is to assure and convince DWQ that local ordinances and/or prior agreements with DWQ will protect
state waters by meeting or exceeding their requirements so they will yield to the Town of Kernersville and the W-S
Regional Office (Daryl Lamb or equivalent) without requiring further analysis or a more rigorous Individual
Certification.
Gupton & Assocs.
1. Prepare afull-size "Master Plan" showing conceptual development of the entire project, even though there is no
specific plan. Make some assumptions in collaboration with PM and present them as the current conceptual
plan.
2. Explain limits on impervious area and how the project will allocate impervious area to stay within those limits.
3. Assign land uses to each phase or tract along with maximum impervious area and maximum stormwater
management area required.
4. Show stream buffers and a stormwater management area in each area as scaled corridors or polygons to
match the designated area requirements.
5. Note that all stormwater management areas will incorporate one or more of the BMP's specified in WQC 3631
(Condition 4) and list those BMP's.
The goal here is to satisfy DWQ's requirement for a plan for the project at build-out and to show that sufficient area
is being set aside to accommodate watershed protection requirements. Assume a "worst case" or maximum impact
scenario.

Subject: Permitting for Proposed CarroNtan Sanitary Sewers PM Development
Town of Kernersville, NC
dear Mr. McMillan:
Information has come to our attention that your agency has concerns about possible
secondary and cumulative impacts related to the proposed extension of sanitary sewer
lines to serve the Carrollton Development. Carrollton is a development project located
in the southern portion of the Town of Kernersville's corporate boundary. Extension of
the proposed gravity, sanitary sewer lines will indeed provide service to the Carrollton
project and potentially to additional properties not included in the subject project.
However, all of the area potentially served by the Carrollton sewer extension was
previously considered as part of an amendment to the 201 Facilities Plan Amendment
for the Greater Winston-Salem Facilities Plan for the Town of Kernersville Service Area.
The review process conducted by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for the
referenced 201 amendment included a very comprehensive environmental review of
secondary and cumulative impacts, which concluded with the issuance of a Finding of
No Significant Impact. See Attached documentation. We believe your concerns have
already been addressed based upon actions taken by the Town of Kernersville and the
City/County Utilities Commission (CCUC} as part of the 201 amendment process.
The Town has implemented all measures and actions as expressly directed by DWQ.
We ask that your review consider steps already taken to minimize potential secondary
and cumulative impacts. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give
Russell Radford or myself or a call.
Sincerely,
~/~~
