On behalf of Sequoyah National Golf Course, Wetland & Ecological Consultants, LLC (WEC) is pleased to provide this final report documenting implementation of sediment removal actions on the above referenced project site. On -site restoration work has been completed in accordance with the Sediment Removal & Streambank Stabilization Plan (Plan) prepared by WEC and approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources,. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by letter dated April 28, 2010. WEC personnel monitored sediment removal actions on -site to document compliance with the Plan. As stated in previous correspondence, sediment removal actions required additional time to complete than stated in the Plan; therefore, an extension for submittal of this final report by June 11, 2010 was requested and approved by you via email correspondence dated May 19, 2010. Overview of Restoration Work Stream Sediment Removal Accumulated sediment was removed from two tributaries to Crooked Creek (Tributary 1 and 2, Figure 1) during the period of May 10-20, 2010. Sediment was removed from the subject streams by Landscapes Unlimited personnel using hand shovels and buckets (Photograph No. 1). Prior to sediment removal, coconut fiber (i.e., coir) logs (Photograph Nos. 2 and 3) were installed downstream of the sediment removal areas to prevent further release of sediment during removal actions. Sediment removal was limited to the subject stream channels and vegetated deposition bars were preserved per 3225 South Cherokee Lane Phone: 770-591-9990 Bldg.800 Fax: 770-591-9993 Woodstock, Georgia 3o188 www.wet-eco.com Sediment Removal Final Report June 8, 20I0 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProject No. 02-1124o6 DWQ guidance. In addition, all reasonable efforts were made to preserve coarse substrate (i.e., coarse sand and gravel), while removing fine sand and silt deposits. Per DWQ guidance, the wetland seep adjacent to Tributary i (Figure i) that received sedimentation due to failure of a fill slope on -site was seeded (Photograph No. 4) with a native herbaceous wetland plant mix to facilitate colonization of the area with wetland vegetation and stabilize accumulated sediment. In addition, coir logs were installed along the bank of Tributary i abutting the wetland area (Photograph No. 5) to stabilize the streambank and prevent the release of sediment from the wetland area into the stream prior to establishment of native vegetation. Removed sediment was placed in a sealed, tractor pulled trailer (Photograph No. 6) or a backhoe with a sealed bucket (Photograph No. 7) and transported from the subject streams to two upland disposal locations. In some areas sediment was placed directly in the trailer or backhoe bucket by hand (i.e., five gallon bucket) and in other areas, where accessible, sediment was placed in a sealed excavator bucket (Photograph No. 8) by hand and transferred to the trailer or backhoe bucket for transport to the disposal locations. Removed sediment from Tributary 1 and Tributary 2 was deposited at Disposal Area 1 (Photograph No. 9) and Disposal Area 2 (Photograph No. 1o), respectively (Figure 1). Earthen berms and silt fencing (Photograph Nos. 9 and 1o) were installed down slope of the sediment disposal locations to prevent escape of deposited sediment. Sediment deposited at the disposal locations will be allowed to dewater and then spread and seeded with native grass species. WEC personnel monitored sediment removal from the subject streams to verify that recently deposited sediment was removed from the stream channels while preserving pre-existing stream sediment and channel dimensions. WEC personnel recorded the number and volume of sediment loads transported from each stream in order to verify that the volume of sediment removed was consistent with estimated volumes from the pre -removal sediment assessment. Pond Sediment Removal Recently deposited sediment was removed from a 0.3-acre off -site pond located south of the golf course property (Figure 1) during the period of May 24 - June 4, 2010. Sediment was removed from the pond by lowering the water level in the impoundment and 2 Sediment Removal Final Report June 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProject No. 02-1124o6 implementing mechanical dredging with a Doosan Model DX3ooLC long reach excavator working from uplands (Photograph No. ii). Lowering of the pond was conducted using mechanical pumps that conveyed surface water, via hoses, through the emergency spillway pipe in the pond dam. Water pumped from the pond was diverted to an upland ditch installed with straw hay bales (Photograph No. 12) to trap suspended sediments prior to discharge to receiving waters on -site. In addition, temporary coir logs were installed in the stream channel below the subject pond during sediment removal to prevent sedimentation of downstream waters. Sediment excavated from the pond was placed in JCB Model 714 (Photograph No. i3) and Hydrema Model 912D articulated dump trucks with sealed beds for transport to two upland contained disposal locations (Figure i). Disposal Location 2, in which sediment removed from Tributary 2 was deposited, also was used for disposal of a portion of accumulated sediment removed from the pond. The remainder of sediment removed from the pond was deposited at Disposal Area 3 (Photograph No. 14, Figure i). An earthen berm was constructed and silt fencing was installed down gradient of Disposal Area 3 (Photograph No. 14) to prevent subsequent sediment runoff and discharge to jurisdictional waters. Sediment was stockpiled in the disposal areas and will be allowed to dry, spread and seeded with native grass species, and mulched for long term stabilization. WEC personnel monitored sediment removal from the subject pond to verify that recently deposited sediment was removed from the pond bottom while preserving pre- existing pond sediments and/or bottom contours. Recently deposited sediments were differentiated from older sediments in the pond by examining color, texture, and/or inclusion of organic matter. Newly deposited sediment in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the eastern U.S. is typically reddish in color (varies depending on source of the sediment) if it was eroded from an upland position since the parent soils are oxidized. Older sediment typically exhibits grayish colors indicating prolonged exposure to anaerobic conditions where reduction of iron has occurred. Older accumulated sediment was removed from the area surrounding the outlet control structure for the subject pond in order to access the structure for repair per the property owner's request. WEC personnel logged the number and capacity of sediment loads transported from the pond in order to verify that the volume of sediment removed from the subject pond was consistent with the estimated volume from the pre -removal sediment assessment. 3 Sediment Removal Final Report Sequoyah National Golf Course Post -Removal Assessment Stream Sediment Removal June 8, 2010 WECProjeetNo. o2-u24o6 Sediment removal actions on -site restored pre-existing stream hydrology to the two tributaries which had been altered by increased sediment loadings from golf course construction. Hydrologic restoration improved available habitat for aquatic organisms by increasing pool capacity and overall water levels through out the streams. Sediment removal also exposed coarse substrate (i.e., coarse sand, gravel, and cobble) that had been covered by accumulated sediment, thereby restoring additional aquatic habitat. Sediment removal also is anticipated to reduce stream turbidity as less sediment will be released and/or resuspended from the stream channel during storm events. Photograph Nos. 15-35 depict the sediment sample locations (Figures 2 and 3) included in the Plan following the completion of sediment removal. In addition, Photograph Nos. 9 and io depict the stream sediment disposal areas and associated erosion control measures. Based on the results of the sediment assessment of the two streams completed by WEC, it was estimated that Tributary 1 and 2 contained 73.3 and 52.7 cubic yards of sediment, respectively. Based on the load capacity of the equipment used to transport stream sediment calculated by WEC personnel and the quantity of sediment loads transported from the subject streams, it is estimated that approximately 65A and 39.8 cubic yards of sediment were removed from Tributary 1 and 2, respectively. The difference in the pre - removal estimated volumes and the removed estimated volumes of sediment is attributed to the averaging using in generating assessment estimates. An average width and depth of recently deposited sediment was established for each stream, based on field measurements taken at regular intervals, and the product of these two values was multiplied by the overall length of stream reach impacted by sedimentation to generate the estimated volume of recently deposited sediment. This method does not account for differences in accumulated sediment volume throughout the impacted reach, such as steep gradient areas that received less sediment accumulation. Pond Sediment Removal Removal of sediment from the off -site pond increased pond storage volume which had been reduced due to sedimentation associated with construction of the adjacent golf 4 Sediment Removal Final Report June 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProjectNo. o2 u2¢o6 course. The restored pond will provide increased warm water fish habitat and greater flood storage capacity than pre -removal conditions, while also providing greater recreational and aesthetic value to the property owner. Photograph Nos. 36 -39 depict the subject pond bottom prior to and upon completion of sediment removal. Based on the results of the sediment assessment of the pond completed by WEC personnel, it was estimated that the pond contained 1,185.8 cubic yards of recently deposited sediment. Based on the bed load capacity of the dump trucks used for sediment removal and the quantity of sediment loads transported from the subject pond, it is estimated that 2,586.9 cubic yards of sediment was removed from the subject pond. The estimated volume of sediment removed exceeds the estimated volume from the field assessment because, as stated above, older sediment present in the pond bottom prior to golf course construction also was removed, per the property owner's request, in order to repair the pond outlet control structure. Conclusion This report documents implementation of sediment removal actions on the Sequoyah National Golf Course as proposed in the DWQ approved plan for the project site. On behalf of Sequoyah National Golf Club, WEC respectfully request DWQ written concurrence that the approved sediment removal plan has been successfully implemented.

Box 455 Cherokee, NC 28719 SUBJECT: Sediment Removal Plan Approval Sequoyah National Golf Course [Ref. NOV-2010-PC-02081 Jackson County Dear Ms. Tarnawasky: The Division of Water Quality has received correspondence from Wetland & Ecological Consultants, Inc., dated March 16 and April 8, 2010, in response to the Notice of Violation submitted by the Division of Water Quality March 1, 2010. The March 16, 2010 correspondence was in relation to the Notice of Violation, while the April 8, 2010 correspondence was in relation to the sediment removal at the site. It is the Division's understanding that Sequoyah National Golf Club, LLC is still under an active Sediment & Erosion Control plan with Jackson County and the site has not been closed out by the County. As such, the site must conform with the monitoring and requirements set forth by the Division's construction stormwater general permit (NCG010000). If there is a misunderstanding between the County and Sequoyah National Golf Club, LLC, this should be clarified as soon as possible. . The letter and report regarding sediment removal dated April 8, 2010 was well written and the areas of impact were well documented. The remedial actions presented in the response have been found satisfactory and are approved. The Division appreciates the efforts involved in obtaining core samples and documenting the impacts to the existing pond. The Division also understands that removal of sediment from the pond may be delayed to due weather conditions. The Division does recommend that any adjacent and affected property owners be informed of the remedial action and access property be requested prior to work.

Introduction/Overview The subject site is approximately 28o acres in size and is located west of U.S. Highway 441 and south of Shoal Creek Road (Figure i). On February 2, 2010 Jackson County issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to Sequoyah National Golf Club based on erosion and sedimentation inspections conducted by Jackson County Planning personnel. Jackson County cited violations including failure to operate and maintain stormwater controls to optimum efficiency and follow the erosion control plan for the project. On February 11, 2010, WEC met with representatives of Jackson County and DWQ for inspection of portions of the project site cited for violation of the Jackson County Sediment Control Ordinance. During this site meeting, DWQ personnel noted sedimentation of two perennial tributaries to Crooked Creek on -site and a manmade pond off -site (Figure 2). Subsequently, DWQ issued the aforementioned NOV. In response to the NOV, WEC conducted an assessment of the extent of sedimentation to the two tributaries and pond 3225 South Cherokee Lane Phone: 770-591-9990 Bldg.

Resource Description/Impact Summary Streams The two perennial tributaries in which sediment was observed during the February ii, 2010 site inspection are located in eastern portion of the subject property. Tributary i originates at the eastern boundary of the Sequoyah National Golf Club and flows north approximately 1,285 linear feet as the eastern property boundary, prior to entering the property and flowing northwest approximately 895 linear feet to converge with Crooked Creek on -site. Tributary i exhibits a riffle/run flow regime, a predominantly sand and gravel substrate with exposed bedrock in high gradient areas, and an average width of approximately 3.0 feet (Table i). A wetland seep in the northeast portion of the property drains to Tributary i. As observed during the aforementioned site inspection, sedimentation of this wetland area also has occurred; however, this area contains scrub -shrub vegetation and removal of sediment from this area would require removal of existing vegetation. As agreed by DWQ and WEC personnel during the February 11, 2010 site inspection, removal of sediment from the wetland is anticipated to create a greater adverse affect to the resource than preserving the sediment in place and allowing native vegetation colonization. It was agreed that native herbaceous wetland seed mix will be applied to the area to promote the establishment of hydrophytic vegetation. Tributary 2 originates on -site, south of the golf course driving range, and flows west approximately 292 linear feet prior to exiting the property and flowing an additional 34 linear feet before entering a manmade pond on the adjacent property. Tributary 2 is discharged from this pond back onto the property and flows west approximately 650 linear feet prior to entering pre-existing corrugated metal pipe that conveys stream flow south. The stream is discharged from this pipe and flows southwest approximately 427 linear feet to converge with another perennial tributary to Crooked Creek located on -site. The segment of Tributary 2 above the off -site pond has an average width of 2 Sediment Removal Restoration Plan April 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProject No. o2-1124o6-os approximately 5.1 feet and exhibits a riffle/run flow regime with a predominantly gravel and cobble substrate that has been embedded with silt and sand from recent deposition (Table i). On March 23 and 24, 2010 WEC personnel completed a field assessment of the two tributaries and offsite pond to determine the extent of sedimentation to these waters from golf course construction and operation. Stream sediments were sampled in Tributary i beginning at the furthest upstream point of observed recent sediment accumulation (Station No. i) and continuing downstream at ioo-foot intervals to the stream's confluence with Crooked Creek (Station No. 15; Figure 3). Tributary 2 was sampled at 50400t intervals beginning at the stream point of origin (Station No. i) and continuing downstream to the boundary of the off -site, manmade pond (Station No. 6; Figure 4). Each sample station was photographed (Photograph Nos. 1-21) and flagged with blue and white striped survey tape. During completion of the sediment assessments, a soil probe was inserted into stream substrate until refusal and removed for inspection, with depth and color of recently deposited sediments recorded at each sample location (Table 1). Sediment color was classified using Munsell@ Soil Color Charts'. Pre-existing stream sediment color and depth also was recorded where observed. Sediment sample stations were located using a Trimble® Pathfinder® Pro XRS global positioning system (GPS) receiver that achieves sub -meter accuracy. These GPS locations were recorded for two-dimensional location only and not for elevation (third dimension) measurement purposes. Recently deposited sediment was identified by color and texture, as these sediments typically exhibit a reddish -orange chroma and silt/sand texture that is less coarse than the predominant and naturally occurring gravel/cobble stream substrate. In addition, the chroma of recently deposited sediment was brighter than that of underlying stream sediment where present. Based on the length, average width, and average depth of recently deposited sediment within each tributary, Tributary 1 and 2 are estimated to contain approximately 73.3 and 52.7 cubic yards of recently deposited sediment, respectively (Table i). 1 Munsell® Soil Color Charts, Year 20oo Revised Washable Editions. 3 April 8, 2010 WEC Projeet No. • o2-i124o6-oi Sediment Removal Restoration Plan Sequoyah National Golf Course Pond The off -site pond is approximately 0.3 acre in size and is located south of the golf course property, west. of the driving range. On March 24, 2010i WEC personnel completed a survey of pond sediments to determine the extent of recently deposited sediment in the impoundment. Recently deposited sediments can be differentiated from older sediments in ponds by examining intact sediment profile core samples for color, texture, and/or inclusion of organic matter such as seasonally deposited leaf litter. Newly deposited sediment in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the eastern U.S. is typically reddish in color (varies depending on source of the sediment) if it was eroded from an upland position since the parent soils are oxidized. Older sediment typically takes on grayish colors indicating prolonged exposure to anaerobic conditions where reduction of iron has occurred. Prior to the sediment survey, the subject pond was drained using a pump and siphon. A rebar stake was- driven into the pond bottom at the mouth of the pond to serve as a reference point for the survey. WEC personnel then established survey transects at 30, 90, 150, 21o, and 270 feet from the reference point (Figure 5). Transects were then established by driving wooden stakes along the edges of the pond and running measuring tape between the two stakes at the above -referenced transect intervals. Reference point and transect locations, as well as the pond boundary, were located using GPS. Core sediment samples were taken at io-foot intervals along each transect beginning at the southern boundary of the pond. On exposed mud flats, traditional tools such as a shovel or trowel can be used to dig a hole and directly examine the soil/sediment profile. In heavily saturated- to inundated areas, an intact core sample must be extracted to allow for visual examination since the unconsolidated nature of the material typically does not allow retrieval of an intact profile by shovel. In order to retrieve relatively intact sediment profiles, WEC used a sample device constructed of 2.o-inch internal diameter clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe fitted with an airtight cap at the top of the pipe and an airtight valve (spigot type water valve) fitted through a bored hole in the side of pipe near the cap. The threaded air valve was reinforced with epoxy cement to produce an airtight valve configuration. The 4 Sediment Removal Restoration Plan April 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WEC Project No. o2-1124o6-oi bottom open end of the pipe was beveled with a circular sander to aid in driving the pipe through the sediment without distorting the profile. With the air valve in the closed position the sampler was vertically lowered through the water column, where present, to the top of the sediment layer. The air valve was then opened and the sampler was driven vertically into the pond sediment. On exposed, de - watered mud flats, the sampler with air opened was driven into the sediment. A handheld reversible raft pump was then used to draw a reduced atmospheric pressure within the tube through the air valve. The air valve was then closed, and the sampler was extracted from the sediment with an intact sample, which was photographed within the clear tube. The air valve was then opened and the sample released onto a sheet of plywood for additional photographing and analysis (Photograph Nos. 22-38). In some cases the reversible raft pump was used to force air into the open valve to gently force the sample out of the tube. Core samples were analyzed for layer thickness, color, texture, and inclusion of organic debris. Pond sediment color also was classified using Munsell® Soil Color Charts. The results of this analysis are provided in Table 2. On Transects i, 2, and 3, we generally observed brighter sediment layer(s) atop dark layer(s). Very dark grayish brown (2.5Y 3/2) to black (2.5Y 2.5/1) silts were observed at 8 of the 17 sample locations within the pond, typically at the bottommost sediment layer. These sediments are believed to have been present within the pond prior to golf course construction due to their dark color, which requires prolonged exposure to anaerobic conditions for development. Here we relied on the assumption that the bright layer(s) are the more recently deposited materials. The dark sediments were not included in the calculation of recently deposited -sediment (Table 2). Stratification of core samples was observed at select sample locations along Transects 4 and 5. Observed stratification typically consisted of alternating layers of strong brown (7.5 YR 4/6) overtop very dark grayish brown (io YR 3/2) silt. This stratification is believed to be the result of a reduction of iron (ferric to ferrous) due to lack of oxygen within pond sediment and the associated decomposition of seasonal inputs of organic material (i.e., leaves and woody debris). Each stratified layer of very dark grayish brown silt is anticipated to correspond to associated organic matter decomposition in a reduced oxygen environment, with each successive dark layer signifying a previous seasonal 5 Sediment Removal Restoration Plan April 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProjectNo. 02-1124o6-oi organic input. The bright (7.5 YR 4/6) layers at depth are not in an oxidated state like aerobic sediment; rather these bright soils are likely not proximal enough to the organic/detrital material to be influenced by the reduction yprocess made possible by a source of energy (i.e., the carbon associated with the detrital layer). In simpler terms, the seasonally deposited organic materials provide the carbon (energy) source for the reduction to occur, thus forming the dark band of material around the organic layer. This results in an alternating layer of bright and dark sediment. Once we encountered a continuous profile of dark materials below this layering, we assumed that this corresponded to the historic sediments deposited prior to golf construction. The three discrete, alternating layers of strong brown followed by very dark grayish brown silt observed at sample locations along Transects 4 and 5 likely indicate three seasonal inputs of organic material. As stated in previous correspondence, construction on :the Sequoyah National Golf Course commenced in December 2007. Therefore, a seasonal (2007) input of organic matter into the subject pond occurred just prior to commencement of construction and two seasonal inputs (20o8 and 2oog) have occurred since construction began. Therefore, in the locations where we encountered the alternating bright and dark layers, we considered sediment above the third dark layer down from the surface (that is, Fall 2007) to be the newly deposited material since construction began. Less sediment stratification was observed at sample locations along Transects 1-3 and is attributed to the location of these transects in the upstream portion of the pond where higher energy flows from Tributary 2 could potentially remove organic material from pond sediment or disturb the stratigraphy. The texture of sediment observed along Transects 1, 2, and 3 ranged from silt to sand, but was typically coarser than sediment observed along Transects 4 and 5, which was predominantly very fine textured silt. This observed difference in sediment texture is typical of sediment within ponds receiving surface water from a stream, as coarser particles transported downstream typically fall out of suspension in the pond water column faster than fine particles. The results of the pond sediment survey indicate an average depth of recently deposited sediment within the pond of approximately 2.45 feet. Based on this average depth and T Sediment Removal Restoration Plan April 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProjectNo. o2-1124o6-oi the area of the pond (0.3 acre) calculated from the GPS boundary location, the estimated volume of recently deposited sediment is approximately 1,186 cubic yards. Sediment Removal Plan of Action Recently deposited sediment will be removed from the two tributaries using shovels or similar hand tools to preserve the underlying stream substrate. Excavated sediment will be transported from the subject streams by bucket or similar container and placed in a sealed truck bed or trailer for transport to upland contained disposal locations. Coconut/coir logs will be installed in the subject streams downstream of sediment removal areas to trap sediment released during removal, and prevent sedimentation into downstream waters. WEC personnel will monitor removal of sediment from the subject streams to verify that the reasonably retrievable, recently deposited sediment is removed from the stream channels and vegetated depositional bars and benches are preserved in place. At the conclusion of the removal effort, all coir logs will be removed from the stream. Recently deposited sediment will be removed from the off -site pond by lowering the water level in the impoundment and implementing mechanical dredging with excavators working on mats placed in the lake bottom. The outlet control mechanism for the pond consists of a standpipe with a wheel valve. The wheel valve is reportedly non-functional. Therefore, lowering of the pond will occur by pumping or siphoning over the dam. The freeboard storage created by lowering the water level will act as the Best Management Practice to control sedimentation of downstream waters. If significant rainfall occurs during the excavation effort and pond levels rise to the point where the standpipe may activate, a filter over the top of the pipe or sediment curtain will be deployed to reduce turbidity in downstream waters. Sediment excavated from the pond will be placed in a sealed truck bed or trailer for transport to an upland contained disposal location. In the event that pond bottom f conditions prevent excavator access to the entire pond, surface water entering the pond from Tributary 2 may be diverted by pump to bypass the pond to reduce exposed sediment saturation during the removal. Additionally, a suction pump ("trash pump") or similar device also may be used to remove sediment in the event that recently deposited VA Sediment Removal Restoration Plan April 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProject No. 02-1124o6-os pond sediments cannot be accessed by an excavator. WEC personnel will monitor the sediment removal effort from the subject pond to verify that recently deposited sediment is removed from the pond bottom while preserving pre-existing pond sediments and/or bottom contours. Sediment removed from the streams and pond will be deposited at upland contained disposal locations on the golf course property. Temporary sediment traps with earthen berms will be constructed at each disposal location to retain excavated sediment. An outlet control structure or similar device will be installed in the earthen berms to facilitate dewatering of stream and pond sediments. The sediment will then be stockpiled, allowed to dry, and then buried, or spread, seeded with native grass species, and mulched for long term stabilization. Double row, Type-C silt fencing will be installed down gradient of stockpiled sediment during drying to prevent subsequent sediment runoff and discharge to jurisdictional waters. WEC personnel will verify that the amount of sediment removed from the. subject streams is consistent with the estimated volumes of recently deposited sediment by recording the storage volume of the truck bed or trailer used to transport sediment from the subject streams and the number of loads removed. Verification of removal amounts for the off -site pond will be conducted in a similar manner with the storage volume and quantity of disposal loads recorded for vehicles used to transport recently deposited sediment from the pond to an upland disposal location. Removal of sediment from the subject streams will be initiated upon DWQ approval of this proposed plan of action and is anticipated to require approximately two weeks to complete. As stated above, in order to facilitate sediment removal, the off -site pond will be drawn down prior to sediment removal to allow pond sediments to dry. Therefore, the schedule for removal of sediment from the subject pond is dependent upon hydrologic conditions within the pond bottom which are influenced by rainfall and stream input. It is believed that sediment removal will be feasible during the upcoming summer season and should be completed by September 20io. In the event that sediment removal cannot be completed in this timeframe, Sequoyah National Golf Club will provide a revised schedule to DWQ for approval. WEC personnel will monitor laborers and contractors removing sediment from the subject streams and pond to verify that on -site work is conducted in accordance with the 8 Sediment Removal Restoration Plan April 8, 2010 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProjectNo. o2-1124o6-oi DWQ-approved plan. WEC personnel will complete a follow-up sediment assessment of the subject streams and a final report will be submitted to DWQ documenting the results of the follow-up assessment with comparison to stream reference conditions. WEC personnel delineated and photographed the subject streams during the period of December 13-18, 20o6 prior to golf course construction. The pre -construction instream conditions of the two tributaries will serve as reference conditions for sediment removal actions. Records of existing sediment conditions within the pond prior to golf course construction are not available; therefore, Sequoyah National Golf Club will make a reasonable attempt to remove the more recently deposited sediment from the pond while leaving historic sediment in place. However, differentiation of new versus historic sediment will be difficult once the removal process begins. Therefore, effective removal of sediment will be based on the amount removed relative to WEC's estimate of 1186 cubic yards. Photographic documentation of de -watered pond bottom conditions prior to sediment removal and upon completion of removal actions also will be provided in the final report for DWQ review. Qualifications/Assumptions The selected method of sediment assessment provides a reasonable estimate of recently deposited sediment with the project area. However, some amount of error is inherent in such efforts, due to factors such as the unconsolidated nature of completely saturated sediments, particularly in the offsite pond. Distortion of the sediment core samples may occur due to compaction while driving the sampler, application of negative pressure to contain the sample during extraction, and release of the core sampler from the sampler tube for analysis. Also, interpretation of the sediment cores is based on professional experience applied in the field without the benefit of laboratory analyses such as X-ray diffraction or chemical content determination. In summary, WEC has applied a reasonable standard of care that we believe is appropriate for the scale and purpose of this project. X Sediment Removal Restoration Plan Sequoyah National Golf Course Conclusion April 8, 2010 WECProjeetNo. o2-1124o6-oi On behalf of Sequoyah National Golf Club, WEC respectfully requests DWQ approval of the proposed Sediment Removal Restoration Plan.

The following sections of this document provide a detailed response to the items requested by DWQ in the aforementioned Notice of Violation (NOV). Each item requested by DWQ is listed below in italics followed by a response in bold print. I. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGoi0000 a. Please detail the events that resulted in non-compliance with the above - mentioned NCGoi0000 permit conditions. As detailed in the aforementioned NOV, non-compliance with the construction stormwater permit for the project resulted from failure to: i) provide daily rain gauge data during the February ii, 2010 site inspection; 2) operate and maintain stormwater controls to optimum efficiency as cited by Jackson County's NOV dated February 2, 2010; 3) provide inspection records of erosion and sedimentation control measures and stormwater discharges, collected weekly and after every half -inch or greater rain event during the February 11, 2010 inspection; 3225 South Cherokee Lane Phone: 770-591-9990 Bldg. Boo Fax: 770-591-9993 Woodstock, Georgia 3o188 www.wet-eco.com Response to Notice of Violation Sequoyah National Golf Club March 16, 2010 14ECProjectNo. 02-1124o6-oi 4) follow the Erosion Control Plan for the project as cited in the aforementioned Jackson County NOV; and 5) notify DWQ within 24 hours regarding sediment loss. The following section details the events resulting in the aforementioned violations. i) Rain gauge data was not available for review during the February 11, 2010 inspection, as SNGC personnel maintain this data and were not present during the site inspection. As requested, rain gauge data from November 1, 2009 to March 9, 2010 is attached for review (Appendix A). 2) In response to the Jackson County NOV, erosion and sedimentation control measures were installed and maintained as depicted on the Jackson County approved Erosion And Sedimentation Control Plan prepared by Proctor -Hodge. The cited release of sediment from the project site resulted from a distressed fill slope adjacent to the hole 1.8 fairway, as well as the rupture of a water delivery line on the course driving range, not surface soil erosion resulting from the failure to maintain erosion control measures. Erosion and sedimentation control measures were not designed to retain the amount of sediment released from the distressed fill slope or water line rupture. In response to the distressed slope, S&ME, Inc. has been retained to complete geotechnical exploration of the slope adjacent to the hole 18 fairway. Based on the results of the exploration, S&ME concluded that slope distress was caused by saturated soils on the constructed slope. Based on information provided by LU personnel it is our understanding that Mr. Robert Shelton with Jackson County Planning initially inspected the distressed slope and associated stream sedimentation, as well as sedimentation of the stream and an off -site pond below the driving range during a December 2009 site visit. We also understand that Mr. Shelton acknowledged that due to saturated soil conditions repair of the areas was not feasible at that time and requested that the areas be repaired as soon as site conditions allowed. Nevertheless, several weeks later Mr. Shelton issued the aforementioned NOV in spite of the fact that saturated soil conditions persisted. SNGC has stated and remains committed that these areas will be repaired, and additional erosion and sedimentation control measures have already been installed to prevent further release of sediment from the proje site. g) Beginning November 14, 2007, LU began conducting weekly erosion control inspections and reporting in accordance with the Construction Stormwater Permit for the project and continued inspection and reporting through April 20, 2009. In addition, the professional engineers at Proctor -Hodge completed monthly erosion control inspections and reporting in accordance with the Jackson County Sediment Control Ordinance beginning January 2 Response to Notice of Violation Sequoyah National Golf Club March 16, 2010 WECProjectNo. o2-1124o6-o1 29, 2oo8 and continuing through July 21, 2009. Mr. Shelton participated in the July 21, 2009 inspection and issued a Sedimentation Inspection Report (Appendix B) stating that Proctor -Hodge would no longer be required to submit monthly inspection reports. The aforementioned monitoring reports can be provided upon request; however, weekly inspection reports for the period of November 1, 2009 to the present are not available. 4) Based on review of the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan prepared by Proctor -Hodge, as well as the erosion control inspection reports and site observations, land disturbing activities on -site were conducted in accordance with the Jackson County approved plan. As stated above, S&ME, Inc. concluded that prolonged soil saturation resulting from above average rainfall is anticipated to have caused fill slope distress. The fill slope was graded in accordance with the approved grading plan and sediment and erosion control measures were installed and maintained in accordance with the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. However, as stated above, these measures were not designed to control the amount of sediment released resulting from a distressed slope. Similarly, erosion and sediment control measures also were installed and maintained in accordance with the approved erosion control plan in the area of the driving range; however, these measures were not designed to control the release of sediment resulting from the volume and velocity of water released during water line rupture. Supplementary erosion and sediment control measures, in addition to measures included in the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, were installed following these two unforeseen events to prevent further release of sediment from the project site. 5) The permittee did not notify DWQ regarding the sediment loss, as Jackson County, the delegated local authority, was aware of the loss based on site inspections. In the event of future sediment release from the project site, DWQ personnel will be directly notified within 24 hours of sediment loss. b. Please explain when you anticipate being in full compliance with the NCGol0000 Permit and your Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. With the exception of the distressed slope and driving range, the remainder of the project site complies with the Construction Stormwater Permit and the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan: Due to prevailing soil saturation, these areas are currently inaccessible by the heavy equipment required for stabilization; however, additional sediment and erosion control measures have been installed along the periphery to prevent further release of sediment into streams. Repair to the 6 distressed slope is tentatively scheduled to commence March 29, 2010 and continue through May 14, 2010; however completion of the work is dependent on site conditions and rainfall. The driving range is currently stable; however, as noted during the DWQ site inspection, a temporary 3 Response to Notice of Violation Sequoyah National Golf Club March z6, 2ozo WECProjectNo. o2-1124o6-oz sediment basin at the base of the driving range slope requires maintenance (i.e., sediment removal), which will be completed concurrently with slope repair. Upon stabilization of the distressed slope and maintenance of the driving range the project is anticipated to be in full compliance with the Construction Stormwater Permit and the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. c. Please provide information detailing your compliance with the minimum monitoring and reporting requirements as requested above for each phase of the project. This information must include monitoring records through to the date of your written response to this letter. Specifically, it is requested that DWQ be provided a copy of all rain gauge data and weekly inspection/monitoring reports related to your inspections of the approved sedimentation and erosion control facilities and stormwater outfalls. Copies of all corresponding inspections subsequent to rain events greater than 0.5 inches are requested as well. This information should be provided for records from November 1, 2009 to present. Failure to provide this information will constitute violations of the subjectNCGoi0000 Permit. Rain gauge data from the project site for the period of November 1, 2009 to the present is included as Appendix A. As stated above, weekly inspection/monitoring reports, as well as inspections following rain events exceeding 0.5 inch, are not available for the requested time - period, but can be provided for the period of November 14, 2007 through July 21, 2009 upon request. As of March S, 2010 SNGC began conducting weekly erosion control inspection and reporting and will continue to do so until the project is determined to be complete by Jackson County and/or the NCDENR, Division of Land Resources in accordance with the Construction Stormwater Permit. Additionally, SNGC is committed to stabilizing the distressed slope as soon as possible and restoring waters of the State impacted by the release of sediment from the project site. d. You should include in your response and explanation of how you propose to prevent these problems from reoccurring on this project and on future projects. As stated above, SNGC will prevent these problems from reoccurring on the project by completing weekly erosion control inspections, repairing any problem areas in a timely manner, and notifying DWQ within 24 hours of any future sediment loss. However, it should be noted that the sediment loss cited for violation of the Jackson County Sediment Control Ordinance and Construction Stormwater Permit NCGol0000 by Jackson County Erosion Control and DWQ, respectively, resulted from unforeseen events (i.e., distressed fill slope and water line rupture) and not the failure to install and maintain sediment and erosion control measures in accordance with the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for the project. 4 Response to Notice of Violation Sequoyah National Golf Club March 16, 2010 WECProject No. 02-1124o6-o1 II. Stream Standard — Other Waste (In -Stream Sediment) a. Please explain when construction (excavation, grubbing, and clearing) began at the site. Based on information provided by LU personnel, clearing and grubbing began on the project site on December 20, 2007 and continued through July 16, 2008. Excavation and grading began on January 15, 2oo8 and was complete by October 15, 2008. Soil stabilization, including grass seeding, began on September 1, 2oo8 and was completed by April 15, 2009. b. Please provide a map that exactly details the jurisdictional waters on the tract. This map should indicate all of the jurisdictional waters on the tract as well as the areas that have been impacted both on and off -site. This information must be clearly depicted on a map that you provide as part of this response; ,A Jurisdictional Waters Map (Figure 1) depicting the extent of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. as delineated by WEC personnel during .the period of December 13 — 18, 20o6 is attached for your review. This map identifies the areas both on and off -site that have been impacted by the release of sediment from the project site. c. Please submit a Sediment Removal Restoration Plan (Restoration Plan) to this office for review and approval. The Restoration Plan must address removal of accumulated sediment from both unnamed tributaries to Crooked Creek. The Restoration Plan must be submitted to the Division of Water Quality for review and approval prior to implementation. You are encouraged to secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream restoration to assist you with your plan development. It is recommended that your consultant contact Susan A. Wilson of the Asheville Regional Office for additional guidance during restoration plan development. The Restoration Plan should include the following: • A narrative explaining how sediment will be removed and how impacted jurisdictional waters will be restored. • A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and complete the removal of sediment. • A diagram of the stream channel, referenced with photo documentation of sediment impacts. • A narrative explaining how sediment will be retained on the site and kept out of waterways, and how restoration activities will be conducted such that turbidity standards are not exceeded. The SNGC has retained WEC to prepare a Sediment Removal Restoration Plan for the project. However, the restoration plan has not been submitted with this response due to current weather conditions (i.e., rainfall) that prevent completion of a field assessment to locate and 5 Response to Notice of Violation Sequoyah National Golf Club March 16, 2olo WECProjectNo. o2-1124o6-ol measure the extent of sedimentation necessary to prepare the restoration plan. The Sediment Removal Restoration Plan will address removal of sediment from the two tributaries on -site and the off -site pond identified on Figure i and will include the above bulleted items as requested by DWQ. The Sediment Removal Restoration Plan will be submitted to DWQ under separate cover by April 9, 2010. d. Once the Restoration Plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting restoration of the stream should be submitted to Susan A. Wilson. Upon implementation of the Sediment Removal Restoration Plan a final report documenting stream restoration actions will be submitted to Susan A. Wilson for review and approval. The information provided above has been submitted in response to the DWQ NOV submitted to SNGC by letter dated March 1, 20io. Based on submittal of this response, WEC respectfully requests, on behalf of SNGC, that the project not be recommended for -enforcement, as SNGC is committed to correcting erosion and sediment control problems on -site and restoring waters of the State impacted by the unforeseen release of sediment from the project site. As stated above, a Sediment Removal Restoration Plan for waters receiving sediment from the project site will be submitted to DWQ under separate cover by April 9, 2010.

Mr. Robert Shelton, Jackson County Erosion Control, Mr. Doug Swartz, Superintendent — Landscapes Unlimited, and Mr. Jason Morrell, Wetland & Ecological Consultants, were also present during the site visit. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 and stream standards violations were noted during the inspection and file review. Sediment impacts to two different areas of an unnamed tributary to Crooked Creek, a Class C waterbody in the Little Tennessee River basin, were documented constituting permit and standard violations. Approximately 6 — 8 inches of sediment was noted in pockets along the unnamed tributary to Crooked Creek and to a delineated wetland area below the failed slope. The pockets were noted along the entire length of the unnamed tributary. Another unnamed tributary to Crooked Creek, below the driving range area, was also impacted by sediment due to another incident. This sediment was noted from below the sediment basin up to the pond (on Mr. Spangenberg's property). It was undetermined how much sediment from the area below the driving range may be deposited in the downstream pond.

On -site restoration work has been completed in accordance with the Sediment Removal & Streambank Stabilization Plan (Plan) prepared by WEC and approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by letter dated June 26, 2009. WEC personnel monitored sediment removal and streambank stabilization actions to ensure restoration work was conducted in accordance with the Plan. Overview of Restoration Work Sediment Removal Accumulated sediment was removed from two tributaries to Crooked Creek (Tributary i and 2, Figure i) during the period of July 7-15, 2009. Sediment was removed from the subject streams by LU personnel using hand shovels and buckets (Photograph No. 1). Prior to sediment removal coconut fiber (i.e., coir) logs were installed downstream of the sediment removal areas (Photograph Nos. 2 and 3) to prevent, further release of sediment during removal activities. Sediment removal was limited to the subject stream 3225 South Cherokee Lane Phone: 770-591-9990 Bldg.800 Fax: 770-591-9993 Woodstock, Georgia 30188 www.wet-eco.com Sediment Removal &Streambank Stabilization Final Report July 24, 2009 Sequoyah National Golf Course WEC Project No. 02-1124o6 channels and vegetated deposition bars were preserved per DWQ guidance. In addition, all efforts were made to preserve coarse substrate (i.e., coarse sand and gravel), while removing fine sand and silt deposits. Removed sediment was transported from the subject streams to an upland disposal location (Figure i) using a tractor pulled trailer (Photograph No. 4) and utility vehicle (Photograph No. 5). Sediment was deposited at the disposal location (Photograph No. 6), allowed to dewater, and will be spread and seeded with native grass species upon completion of golf course construction. Silt fence was installed down slope of the sediment disposal location to prevent escape of deposited sediment. Streambank Stabilization Streambank stabilization was completed at five locations along the downstream left bank of Crooked Creek on -site (Streambank Erosion Areas 2-4, 6 and 8, Figure 1) on July 13 and 14, 2009. Bank stabilization was completed using excavators operated by LU personnel (Photograph No. 7) and consisted of grading portions of the streambank that had eroded from stormwater runoff during project construction. As detailed in the Plan, streambank erosion areas were located at golf course stormwater drainage outlets (i.e. Areas 3 and 4) and at upland drainages on the golf course. During project construction temporary sediment catchment basins were installed at these locations to capture sediment from stormwater runoff. Streambank erosion occurred below these catchment basins and consisted of vertical bank erosion. Prior to stabilization, the areas consisted of vertical erosional channels containing riprap. Prior to grading each eroded bank segment, silt fence and riprap were removed from the Streambank and accumulated sediment was removed from catch basins (Photograph No. 8). Catch basin berms were removed (Photograph No. 9) to maintain the existing grade of adjacent, undisturbed streambanks and allow for sheet flow of stormwater runoff across the streambank. Dirt removed from catch basin berms was used to fill eroded portions of the streambank. In areas with large catch basins and severe bank erosion (i.e., Areas 3 and 8, Figure 1), fill dirt was brought in from other portions of the project site for bank stabilization. Additionally, boulders were installed at Area 3 (Photograph No. 1o) due to the close proximity of a pre-existing stream culvert to the eroded streambank. The proximity of the culvert prevented grading the streambank to a stable 2 Sediment Removal & Streambank Stabilization Final Report July 24, 2oog Sequoyah National Golf Course WEC Project No. o2-1124o6 slope; therefore, boulders were installed at the base of the eroded channel and fill dirt was placed above the stone. Stormwater drainage pipes present at Streambank Erosion Areas 3 and 4 were preserved in place. At Area 3, riprap outlet protection was not removed as the storm drain outlet did not require grading, where as at Area 4, riprap was removed from the storm drain outlet during grading and returned upon completion of bank stabilization. At each streambank stabilization area graded slopes were compacted with the excavator upon completion of cut and/or fill actions. Fescue (Festuca sp.) grass seed was then spread on the graded streambank and coir blankets were installed (Photograph No. i1) to stabilize the exposed slope. Live stakes of black willow (Salix nigra) and/or silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), both presently growing along Crooked Creek, will be installed on stabilized streambank segments during the upcoming dormant season (January -March 2010) to stimulate colonization of deep-rooted streambank vegetation. Post-Removal/Restoration Assessment Sediment Removal Sediment removal actions on -site restored pre-existing stream hydrology to the two tributaries which had been altered by increased sediment loadings from golf course construction. Hydrologic restoration improved available habitat for aquatic organisms by increasing pool capacity and overall water levels through out the streams. Sediment removal also exposed coarse substrate (i.e., coarse sand, gravel, and cobble) that had been covered by deposited sediment restoring additional aquatic habitat. Sediment removal also is anticipated to reduce stream turbidity as less sediment will be released and/or resuspended from the stream channel during storm events. Photograph Nos. 12- 3o depict the sediment sample locations included in the Plan following the completion of sediment removal. In addition, Photograph No. 6 depicts the sediment spoil area and erosion control measures installed at the disposal location. 3 Sediment Removal &Streambank Stabilization Final Report Sequoyah National Golf Course Streambank Stabilization July 24, 2oog WECProjectNo. o2-n24o6 Stabilization of severely eroded portions of the bank of Crooked Creek as described above will reduce sedimentation of Crooked Creek from further bank erosion during storm events and allow the streambank to vegetatively recover. Catch basin removal will restore preexisting bank elevations that are consistent with adjacent banks and promote sheet flow of stormwater runoff from the adjacent golf course. Also, the removal of accumulated sediment from catch basins will prevent the potential release of sediments into the stream from storm events. Removal of riprap from the streambank and subsequent seeding and live staking will provide long-term bank stabilization, as well as stream shading and sediment filtration. Photograph Nos. 31-35 depict the streambank segments upon completion of stabilization actions. Conclusion This report documents implementation of sediment removal and streambank stabilization actions on the Sequoyah National Golf Course as proposed in the DWQ approved plan for the project site. Additional actions to be taken in accordance with the Plan include live stake installation which will be completed during January -March 2010 and stabilization of sediment spoil which will be done upon completion of golf course construction. On behalf of LU, WEC respectfully request DWQ written concurrence that the approved sediment removal and streambank stabilization plans have been successfully implemented.

Introduction/Overview The subject site is approximately 28o acres in size and is located west of U.S. Highway 441 and south of Shoal Creek Road (Figure 1). On April 14, 2009 Jackson County personnel conducted a sedimentation inspection and noted erosion control violations associated with ongoing golf course construction. On May 7, 2009, WEC and Landscapes Unlimited personnel met with representatives of Jackson County and DWQ for inspection of the project site. During this site meeting, DWQ personnel noted erosional damage to the bank of Crooked Creek at golf course storm drain outlets, as well as sedimentation of two perennial tributaries to Crooked Creek and a linear wetland associated with one of the tributaries on -site. In response to the observed erosion and sedimentation violations, an assessment of the extent of sedimentation to the aforementioned tributaries and submittal of a streambank stabilization and sediment removal plan was requested for DWQ approval prior to commencement of corrective actions. 3225 South Cherokee Lane Phone: 770-591-9990 Bldg.800 Fax: 770-591-9993 Woodstock, Georgia 3o188 www.wet-eco.com SedimentRemoual &Streambank Stabilization Plan June 10, 2009 Sequoyah National Golf Course TIECProjectNo. o2-1i2¢o6 Stream Description/Impact Summary Sediment Removal Segments The two perennial tributaries in which sediment was observed during the May 7, 2009 site inspection are located in western portion of the subject properly. Both streams originate on -site and flow southwest to converge with Crooked Creek at the property boundary. The first tributary, Tributary i, is approximately 866 linear feet in length with an average width of approximately 3.9 feet (Table 1). Tributary i flows into a linear wetland area approximately 424 linear feet in length with an average width of approximately 14.7 feet (Table 1) that abuts Crooked Creek (Figure 2). As observed during the aforementioned site inspection, sedimentation of the wetland area also has occurred. The second tributary, Tributary 2, is approximately 1,175 linear feet in length with an average bankfull width of approximately 3.8 feet (Table 1). On May 19 and 20, 2009 WEC personnel completed a field assessment of the two tributaries and linear wetland to determine the extent of sedimentation to these waters. Stream and wetland sediments were sampled at loo-linear foot increments beginning at the convergence of each subject stream/wetland and Crooked Creek and continuing upstream until recently deposited sediment was no longer observed. Each sample station was photographed (Photograph Nos. 1-23) and flagged with blue and white striped survey tape. A soil probe was inserted into stream substrate until refusal and removed for inspection, with depth and color of recently deposited sediments recorded at each sample location (Table 1). Sediment sample locations were surveyed using a Trimble® Pathfinder® Pro XRS global positioning system (GPS) receiver that achieves sub -meter accuracy and are depicted on Figures 3 and 4. Recently deposited sediment was identified by color and texture, as these sediments exhibit a reddish -orange chroma and sand texture that is less coarse than the predominant and naturally occurring gravel and cobble substrate observed within the subject streams. In addition, the chroma of recently deposited sediment was brighter than that of underlying hydric soils within the linear wetland area and portions of Tributary 2 (Photograph No. 24). Based on site observations, recently deposited 2 Sediment Removal &Streambank Stabilization Plan June 10, 2009 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProjeetNo. 02112¢06 sediment in the streams and wetland appears to have resulted from the release of sediment from graded slopes on the golf course from storm events during golf course construction. Based on the length, average width, and average depth of recently deposited sediment within of each tributary, Tributary i and 2 are estimated to contain approximately 26.5 and 161.7 cubic yards of sediment, respectively (Table i). In addition, the linear wetland area is estimated to contain 73.9 cubic yards of recently deposited sediment. The removal of sediment from the wetland area is not recommended as herbaceous wetland vegetation has begun to colonize the area (Photograph Nos. 1 and 2) and sediment removal would require removal of existing vegetation. Streambank Stabilization Areas As stated above, erosion was observed on portions of the downstream left bank of Crooked Creek at golf course storm drainage pipe outlets during the May 7, 2009 site inspection. On May 20, 2009 WEC personnel conducted an inspection of Crooked Creek streambanks abutting the golf course. The field inspection consisted of characterization of erosional areas including proximity to the adjacent golf course, ordinary high water mark location, existing streambank vegetative composition, and bank substrate type, as well as photographic documentation of streambank erosion areas. Streambank erosion areas located during the field inspection were surveyed using the aforementioned GPS receiver (Figure 4). Based on the results of the field inspection, eight erosional areas were identified along the downstream left bank of Crooked Creek (Photograph Nos. 25-32, Figure 4). A majority of the erosional areas are located below the outlet of corrugated plastic pipes that discharge stormwater from the golf course and consist of vertical bank erosion. The dominant streambank soils consist, of sandy clay loam. To provide bank erosion control, riprap has been placed below pipe outlets to prevent erosion and is providing stability at some locations. However, at areas in which severe erosion was observed, the riprap�does not pro 'de sufficient bank erosion control. The dominant vegetation observed on the stream6can be described as early -mid 3 SedimentRemoual &Streambank Stabilization Plan June lo, 2009 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProjectNo. o2-1124o6 successional in composition. Specifically, observed streambank vegetation consists of herbaceous species including deer -tongue (Dichanthelium clandestinum), fescue grass (Festuca sp.), and jewelweed (Impatiens capensis); shrub species including Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum); tree species including black walnut (Juglans nigra) and black willow (Salix nigra); and vine species including mulitflora rose (Rosa multiflora), blackberry (Rubus sp.), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Significant bank erosion was observed at Areas 3, 6, and 8 (Figure 5). At these locations the streambank is unlikely to recover without restoration actions. In addition, streambank stabilization is recommended at Areas 2 and 4 (Figure 5). Area 4 is recommended due to the presence of bank erosion and the area's proximity to Area 3 which exhibits significant erosion. Areas 3 and 4 should be restored by stabilizing one continuous segment of streambank extending the length of the two areas. Minimal bank erosion was observed at Areas i and 5 and these locations are anticipated to recover without restoration actions. Area 7 exhibits a moderate level of erosion, however, due to the area's close proximity to areas of pre-existing lateral bank erosion, streambank stabilization is not recommended, as it is anticipated to aggravate lateral bank erosion. Plan of Action Sediment Removal Sediment will be removed fromithe-t o, -tui iitamesAisi.ng shovelwor-s-im larmhand tools to preserve the underlying. steam substrate. Excavated sediment will be transported from the subject streams by bucket or similar container for disposal. Coconut/coir logs will be q�n�=_ installed in the subject streams downstream of sediment removal areas to trap sediment released during removal, and prevent further sedimentation of downstream waters. Sediment removed from the streams will be deposited at an upland location on the golf course properly (Figure 2). The sediment will be stock piled and allowed to dry and then spread, seeded with native grass species, and mulched for long term stabilization. Silt fence will be installed down grade of the stock piled sediment during drying to prevent subsequent sediment runoff and discharge to jurisdictional waters. 4 Sediment Removal &Streambank Stabilization Plan June lo, 2009 Sequoyah National Golf Course WECProjectNo. o2-1124o6 Sediment removal will be initiated upon DWQ approval of the proposed plan of action and is anticipated to require approximately two weeks to complete. WEC personnel will monitor laborers removing sediment from the subject streams to verify on -site work is conducted in accordance with the DWQ-approved plan. WEC personnel delineated and photographed the subject streams during the period of December 13-18, 2oo6 prior to golf course construction. Pre -construction instream conditions of the two tributaries will serve as reference conditions for sediment -removal actions. Streambank Stabilization. Streambank stabilization is proposed at Erosional Areas 2-4, 6, and 8 (Figure 4) on the downstream left bank of Crooked Creek on -site. Prior to bank stabilization, golf course storm drain pipes will be temporarily removed, and riprap installed below pipe outlets will be permanently removed. Eroded streambanks will be stabilized by grading existing banks to a 2:1 slope or less. Graded banks will then be secured with heavy duty, biodegradable erosion control blanketing, such as coconut/coir fiber and seeded with native grass species. Stormwater drainage pipe outlets will be reinstalled above the graded slopes with a minimum amount of riprap to provide outlet protection The banks also will be staked with black willow and silky dogwood cuttings to promote the rapid growth of deep-rooted vegetation on the streambank. Live stakes will be installed during the upcoming dormant season (January - March 2010) to ensure the greatest likelihood of survival. Please note that-alLstreambank_stabilizati-own actions will occur above the ordinary high water of Crooked Creek. Therefore, the proposed action will not require a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit or DWQ Water Quality Certification. Streambank stabilization will be initiated upon completion of sediment removal activities and is anticipated to require two weeks to complete. WEC personnel also will monitor streambank stabilization activities to verify that on -site work is completed in accordance with the DWQ approved plan. 5 SedimentRemoaal &Streambank Stabilization Plan Sequoyah National Golf Course Conclusion June10,2009 WECProject No. o2-1124o6 On behalf of Landscapes Unlimited, WEC respectfully requests DWQ approval of the proposed sediment removal and streambank stabilization plan for the Sequoyah National Golf Course.

Bill Humphrey, site superintendent for Landscapes Unlimited, the contractor for the site, accompanied Mr. Whitbeck during the inspection. A monthly inspection under supervision of a Professional Engineer is required by the Jackson County Sediment Control Ordinance because the disturbed area at the site is greater than 5 acres. The Jackson County permit number for this site is 07-164. 2.0 Erosion Control Installation All of the erosion control measures have been installed at the site. 3.0 Construction Progress Construction on most holes is complete. Work is continuing on # I, # 16 (ladies tee), # 17, and the driving range. Conditions are very wet due to the recent heavy rains. Construction has been slowed by the weather. 3.1 Plan Revisions No plan revisions have been issued since the last report. 3.2 Stabilized Areas No large areas can be considered to be permanently stabilized at this time. Nearly all areas where irrigation is available have a good stand of grass. However, some slopes have only partial cover. Many of these areas will filter through a grassed area before encountering erosion control measures. Slopes will be reseeded, hydroseeded, and/or matted as needed to establish vegetation. 4.0 Site Operation A discussion of the operation and maintenance activities at the site follows. 4.1 Erosion Control Measures —Revisions No revisions have been made to the EC plans since the previous inspection report. 4.2 Erosion Control Measures — Previous Inspections Items which have been noted in previous inspections are listed below. ❑ #6 short tees • The short section of damaged silt fence along the construction road in this area has been repaired. ❑ #9 tee • Minor damage to silt fence has been repaired. ❑ 49 fairway (near the 2 eastern foot bridges across Wetland W5) • Dirt from road maintenance has been removed. Repairs to the silt fence and final seeding were underway and will resume when conditions allow. ❑ #11 green • The small areas of seed and mulch washed off the slope leading down to Wetland W7 have been replaced. The area has a good stand of grass cover. ❑ 417 fairway and green • A small amount of dirt remains on the timber mat temporary crossing at the P l stream. This appears to have come from normal traffic operations and should not pose a significant threat of contamination to the stream. • A short section of the silt fence about 1/2 way along the fairway is still nearly full and needs cleanout out. • Also, the silt fence around the toe of the slope at the green needs to be cleaned out. ❑ 918 fairway • There has been moderate slope erosion resulting in sediment overwhelming the silt fence at the toe of the slope. Repairs were ordered while I was on site. • The slope drain has slid down the slope and become disconnected. It should be repaired to reduce the potential for slope erosion. ❑ Entry Road from US 441 • A small section of silt fence is still damaged and needs repair. • Some areas need cleaning out as well. 4.3 Erosion Control Measures -- Current Inspection ❑ #2 tee • Moderate erosion has occurred in this area. Repairs to the silt fence and sediment removal were in progress. ❑ #3 fairway • Some rivulets have eroded down the slopes. These will be repaired when conditions allow. ❑ #3 green • The silt fence is about 1/2 full in a few areas and needs to be cleaned out. HA # 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report #10 Page 3 HA # 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report #10 Page 4 ❑ 97 fairway • A large rivulet has eroded down the slope. The silt fence appears to have contained the material. The rivulet will be repaired and reseeded. ❑ 415 green • Short sections of silt fence are down on either side of the creek at the cart path bridge. These sections should be replaced. 4.4 General Housekeeping The site was generally neat and tidy with no unusual litter or other debris. 4.5 Weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms Bill provided copies of his weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms for the weeks beginning September 13, 2008, to December 8, 2008.

Bill Humphrey, site superintendent for Landscapes Unlimited, the contractor for the site, accompanied Mr. Whitbeck during the inspection. Randy Rogers and Jeff Wilson with Jackson County Erosion Control were on site for part of the inspection. A monthly inspection under supervision of a Professional Engineer is required by the Jackson County Sediment Control Ordinance because the disturbed area at the site is greater than 5 acres. The Jackson County permit number for this site is 07-164. 2.0 Erosion Control Installation All of the erosion control measures have been installed at the site. 3.0 Construction Progress Construction continues on most holes. Grading continues on # 1, # 18, the driving range, and the entry drive. Shaping, finishing, and seeding and strawing is continuing throughout the course where needed. 3.1 Plan Revisions No plan revisions have been issued since the last report. 3.2 Stabilized Areas Several holes can be considered to completed and largely stabilized: # 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. Nearly all areas where irrigation is available have a good stand of grass. However, some slopes have only partial cover. Many of these areas will filter through a grassed area before encountering erosion control measures. Slopes will be reseeded, hydroseeded, and/or matted as needed to establish vegetation as the weather allows. 4.0 Site Operation A discussion of the operation and maintenance activities at the site follows. 4.1 Erosion Control Measures —Revisions HA 9 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report #I I Page 3 Silt fence has been added along the new entry drive from US 441 between Shoal Creek Road and the access road near US 74. Also, some modifications have been made at the suggestion of Randy Rogers with Jackson County (See Section 4.3 below for details). 4.2 Erosion Control Measures — Previous Inspections Items which have been noted in previous inspections are listed below. ❑ #2 tee • Repairs to the silt fence and sediment removal are complete. The area will be seeded as soon as conditions allow. ❑ 93 fairway • At the last visit, some rivulets had eroded on the slopes. These were to be repaired when conditions allow. • This area was inadvertently skipped during the inspection and will be checked on a future visit. ❑ #3 green • At the last visit, the silt fence was about 1/2 full in a few areas and needed to be cleaned out. • This area was inadvertently skipped during the inspection and will be checked on a future visit. ❑ #7 fairway • A large rivulet had eroded down the slope. The silt fence appears to have contained the material but has filled to more than 1/2 full. The rivulet will be repaired and reseeded and the silt fence cleaned out. ❑ # 15 green • Short sections of silt fence on either side of the creek at the cart path bridge have been repaired. ❑ 417 fairway and green • Several areas of silt fence along the fairway need cleaning out. In addition a few sections are damaged and need repair. • The silt fence around the toe of the slope at the green needs to be cleaned out. 4.3 Erosion Control Measures -- Current Inspection ❑ 44 fairway • Silt fence needs cleaning out at one location. ❑ #8 fairway • Some sediment needs to be removed from the wetlands at one of the cart bridges. • Some sections of silt fence are down in this area. However, the area upstream is largely stabilized. HA # 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report #11 Page 4 ❑ 99 fairway This area experienced several failures of the silt fence. Because the original silt fence is in poor repair, Randy Rogers recommended a second row of silt fence be installed to '— protect this area. The area will be seeded and strawed as soon as possible. ❑ clubhouse area (per design) • Randy suggested additional measures at the natural draw where the clubhouse originally was to be located. There are no streams near the area, but the draw does ultimately s empty into stream P6. • Bill will install a berm and sediment trap in this area. • Note that the clubhouse planned for this area will not be constructed in this phase of construction. A temporary clubhouse will be constructed at a location down the hill. The area for the future permanent clubhouse will be seeded. 6 z ❑ entry drive • Randy recommended adding additional measures near the bottom of the new entry drive to prevent escape of sediment into the existing ditch. a • He also recommended adding a construction entrance once the entry drive is utilized as an entry way. ❑ various locations $ • There are numerous locations with isolated bare spots and rills. These areas are being filled and reseeded and strawed as allowed by the weather. • Randy suggested the use of coconut wattles to protect these areas after they are reseeded. ❑ Crooked Creek • Crooked Creek was clear on both the north and south sides of the project. ' 4 n 4.4 General Housekeeping m The site was generally neat and tidy with no unusual litter or other debris. 0 6 1 o 4.5 Weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms o. . Bill provided copies of his weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms for the weeks beginning 625 December 15, 2008, to February 15, 2009.

Bill Humphrey, site superintendent for Landscapes Unlimited, the contractor for the site, accompanied Mr. Whitbeck during the inspection. A monthly inspection under supervision of a Professional Engineer is required by the Jackson County Sediment Control Ordinance because the disturbed area at the site is greater than 5 acres. The Jackson County permit number for this site is 07-164. 2.0 Erosion Control Installation All of the erosion control measures have been installed at the site. As areas of the course are stabilized, erosion control measures will be removed. Accumulated sediment will be disposed of so that it will not be eroded again, and final seeding will be applied where the measures were located. 3.0 Construction Progress Mass grading continues on the driving range area only. Shaping, finishing, and seeding and mulching is continuing throughout the course as needed. 3.1 Plan Revisions No plan revisions have been issued since the last report. 3.2 Stabilized Areas Most holes can be considered to be completed and largely stabilized. Final shaping and installation of site features such as bunkers continues on a few holes. There are still areas on a majority of holes with'unvegetated areas and slopes as well as some rills. These areas are being repaired and hydroseeded or matted. It is expected that substantial completion will be reached on the grading operations next week. A crew will remain at the site to monitor grow -in of the grass. The course is expected to open for play in September. 4.0 Site Operation A discussion of the operation and maintenance activities at the site follows. HA 9 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report #12 Page 3 4.1 Erosion Control Measures —Revisions No revisions have been made to the EC measures since the last report. 4.2 Erosion Control Measures — Previous Inspections Items which have been noted in previous inspections are listed below. ❑ 93 fairway • Some rivulets had eroded on the slopes. The area has been repaired and now has a good stand of grass. ❑ #3 green • This area was identified as requiring maintenance to the silt fence. • No areas of silt fence are located around #3 green. This area was apparently actually referring to 94 tee (see next item). ❑ 94 fairway • Silt fence needs cleaning out and repair at one location just across the creek from the 94 tee. ❑ 97 fairway • A large rivulet had eroded down the slope. This area has been repaired, seeded, and matted. ❑ #9 fairway This area experienced several failures of the silt fence. The second row of silt fence that Randy Rogers with Jackson County recommended at the previous inspection has been installed. The area has been seeded and strawed. ❑ 417 fairway and green • Several areas of silt fence along the fairway needed cleaning and/or repair. • The silt fence has been repaired. A few locations are near 1/2 full, but a majority of the area has been seeded and matted. ❑ clubhouse area (per design) • Randy had suggested additional measures at the natural draw where the clubhouse originally was to be located. • A row of silt fence has been installed at the toe of the slope. This area receives only runoff from the slope in this area, so this should be sufficient. ❑ entry drive • During the previous inspection, Randy recommended adding additional measures near the bottom of the new entry drive. • There is little room in the area for additional measures due to the topography and an existing culvert. The silt fence is in good repair, and there is no evidence of sediment that has escaped beyond the silt fence. In addition, rock check dams have been installed in the ditch. • A second row of silt fence will be added in this area as additional protection. HA # 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report #12 Page 4 ❑ various locations • There are still numerous locations with isolated bare spots and rills. These areas are being filled and reseeded and strawed as allowed by the weather. 4.3 Erosion Control Measures —Current Inspection ❑ #9 tee • The silt fence is completely full in this area and will be cleaned out. ❑ driving range (# 19) • Sediment basins and silt fence are in place at the toe of the slope. Riprap inlet protection is installed around the catch basins. • The installation of silt fence inlet protection is recommended due to the large amount of earth exposed in this area. • A small amount of silt has escaped the EC measures and will be cleaned out. 4.4 General Housekeeping The site was generally neat and tidy with no unusual litter or other debris. 4.5 Weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms Bill provided copies of his weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms for the weeks beginning February 23, 2009, to March 23, 2009. (See Appendix). No bypasses, excessive sediment in runoff, or other unusual events were reported during this time period. 5.0 Appendix • Weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms HA # 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report #12 Page 5 0 5 o - W, c STORMWATERINSPEC'1'IONSF( )RGRNERALP. ,OTNCG010000-L4NDDtTUR 111NGACTIVITINS PRODS( :fcl 1110NIT, ORINGFO(b • W9UL5 INNING: /v.'/<••'� oq RAINFJ.it Li a?P:.'r1,V� `�",;1 'SQL• - y; °l� Y'�i.

Bill Humphrey, site superintendent for Landscapes Unlimited, the contractor for the site, accompanied Mr. Whitbeck during the inspection. Robbie Shelton and Randy Rogers from Jackson County participated in the review of holes 7, 8, and 9. A monthly inspection under supervision of a Professional Engineer is required by the Jackson County Sediment Control Ordinance because the disturbed area at the site is greater than 5 acres. The Jackson County permit number for this site is 07-164. Robbie suggested that a final close-out inspection could be performed in May which would serve as the final required monthly inspection. 2.0 Erosion Control Installation All of the erosion control measures have been installed at the site. Measures have been removed in a few areas where the drainage area has been stabilized 3.0 Construction Progress Mass grading has been completed. Only minor repairs of rills and washouts remain. 3.1 Plan Revisions No plan revisions have been issued since the last report. 3.2 Stahilized Areas All playing surfaces have been seeded and mulched. There are still numerous small unvegetated areas and slopes as well as some rills. These areas are being repaired and hydroseeded or matted. 4.0 Site Operation A discussion of the operation and maintenance activities at the site follows. 4.1 Erosion Control Measures —Revisions No revisions have been made to the EC measures since the last report. 4.2 Erosion Control Measures — Previous Inspections Items which have been noted in previous inspections are listed below. HA # 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report 413 Page 3 ❑ #4 fairway • The silt fence needed cleaning out and repair at one location just across the creek from the 94 tee. • This item was not checked during This inspection. It will be checked during afuture visit. ❑ 99 fairway and tee • This area had experienced several failures of the silt fence. The second row of silt fence which Randy Rogers with Jackson County had recommended has been installed. • The silt fence experienced several blowouts during recent heavy rains. See the following section for more details. ❑ 417 fairway and green • The silt fence along the fairway has been cleaned and repaired. • Silt fence around the green is near 1/2 full and needs to be cleaned out. ❑ clubhouse area (per design) • A row of silt fence had been installed at the toe of the slope. The silt fence appears to be effective. • The slope has been seeded and is partially vegetated. ❑ entry drive • This area exhibited the potential for erosion during previous inspections. • A second row of silt fence has been installed at the bottom of the drive. • Matting and rip rap check dams were being installed along the ditches. • Randy recommended seeding a few areas in the woods at the bottom of the drive to prevent escape of sediment. ❑ driving range (# 19) • The installation of silt fence inlet protection was recommended due to the large amount of earth exposed in this area. These were not in place at the time of the inspection. Bill stated that they had been knocked down during seeding operations. ❑ various locations • There are still numerous locations with isolated bare spots and rills. These areas are being repaired as allowed by the weather. 4.3 Erosion Control Measures — Current Inspection ❑ #8 and 9 • There were several areas along 49 where the silt fence has blown out. • Inlet protection has been damaged at 48 tee. • There were significant deposits of silt in Crooked Creek, in one location in the wetlands along #8, and in P5 and the wetlands near its outfall into Crooked Creek. • Robbie recognized that some of this sediment had likely settled out in the pool formed behind the beaver dam, which has blown out. However, he feels it is significant enough to be reported to NC DENR. HA # 6059.0 Monthly EC Inspection Report 913 Page 4 • He will submit his report to NC DENR. They will forward information to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the party with financial responsibility for the site. He does not expect any fines, but he does believe that a stream restoration consultant will be required to develop a remedial plan. ❑ #19 (driving range) • Silt fence is down in one area at the proposed parking. • Silt fence is needed along the rock retaining wall. 4.4 General Housekeeping The site was generally neat and tidy with no unusual litter or other debris. 4.5 Weekly Stormwater Inspection Forms Bill provided copies of his weekly Stonnwater Inspection Forms for the weeks beginning March 30, 2009, to April 20, 2009.

An access road was established to get to a structure during construction, but will need to remain for future access. The coordinates are N35d 17.447m, W83d 16.692m. This is located off of 441, behind the church. If you are facing the church, you would go to the right up the hill and follow the drive. Then bare back to the left and you'll see a curve in the road, which is the location we are interested in. Please verify whether or not your office requires anything for this work. Thank you for your assistance. Steve Cromer is familiar with this project and can assist you with further information if needed.

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 60 linear feet of perennial streams in order to replace a cuLvert on the campus of Western Carolina University in Jackson County, as described In your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 24, 2003, and in additional correspondence received January 31, 2003. • After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3362, Which can be viewed on our web site'at httQ./fi26.enr,state.no.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Array Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval Will expire when the accompanying 40A permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval Is only valid for the purpose and design that you described -In your application...

All culverts must be designed, constructed and placed to allow aquatic life passage_ Culverts 48" or larger should be buried approximately 1' into the streambed. Culverts less than 48 inches in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% their size to. allow for aquatic life passage. These measurements' must be based on natural thalweg depths. To the extent possible, pipe installation should be accomplished in a manner that prevents damming or drop outlets on either end of the pipe in orderto maintain aquatic life passage. No damming or freefalling waters should occur during low flow conditions. The upstream and downstream stream dimensions should not be modified; 3. Construction activities shall be conducted In such a manner as to prevent significant increase in turbidity outside the . area of construction or construction related discharge (50 NTU's in streams and rivers not designated as trout waters); 4. lnstream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off -site sedimentation during construction; S. High Quality Waters Best Management Practices for Sedimentation and Erosion Contror -measures shall be used for this project: 6_ Native species should be used to provide aridlor restore streambank stabilization and shade; 7. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished SO that wet Concrete does not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill; 8. Spanning structures and pipes should be sized and installed in a manner that will preserve floodplain and stream functionality, including flood passage; APA N. C.

This information remains subject to further change until the completion of the final report, however we anticipate any such modifications would be minor. The routing schematic presented on the enclosed plan was developed using the following assumptions, criteria and basis of preliminary design: 1. All existing sewer mains and individual sewer laterals serving Dicks Gap residents are in poor condition and/or are improperly installed and should be replaced as an integral part of this project. 2. All properties will be provided with gravity sewer service without the need for pumping. 3. No more than one building should be connected to a sewer service lateral. Any section of new sewer line intended to serve two or more buildings should be designed, permitted and constructed as a sewer main. 4. Replacement of individual sewer services to customer connections will be included as an integral part of this project rather than making the installation of sewer laterals the responsibility of the individual property owne I pn, is taken to have better quality,control over construction. I SEP _ 8 Page Two Mr. Hugh Montgomery Executive Director September 4, 2003 5. Contiguous access to a sewer main should. be provided to all involved properties. 6. Based on stream. impact and economic considerations, it is recommended that two separate replacement sewer mains be extended along both stream banks of Dick Gap Creek. If a single sewer main were used with multiple creek crossings to serve all properties, then much greater sewer main depths and/or aerial crossings would be required. 7. New right-of-ways will be obtained for all sewer mains and all right-of-ways will be contributed by the individual property owners at no cost. 8. No stream modifications or restoration will be performed as a part of this sewer - rehabilitation project. If any of the listed assumptions and criteria does not meet project expectations, please notify us in the immediate future and we will make the necessary corrections prior to completion of the preliminary engineering report. We hope this advance information will be helpful to you at this stage of project planning. Please do not hesitate to call if you wish to discuss this matter or have any questions.

As the.Executive Director of Tuckaseigee Water & Sewer Authority, have input into the impact an additional 320 TWSA, (appreciate the opportunity to homes and associated facilities will have on Jackson County's regional water and wastewater .provider. The location of the project is not in the traditional service area of TWSA. However, as operators of the only WWTP in the County, the safe and sanitary disposal of the bio- residuals generated by this development,dand of Por of olu�s towill septic 1 auleefault r sludge ends ecome the responsibility of TWSA. From the provider J up at TWSA Plant #1 on the Tuckaseigee River. As the permits necessary for the construction of such a development wind their way through the process, I would respectfully request consideration for TWSA from several perspectives: 1) integration of either Class A or Class B bio-residual as a soil enhancement during the grow in of fairways and other areas where land disturbing activities - are to take place; 2) establish areas «�ithin the development where bio-residuals can be land applied after facilities are up and operational with the consideration being that this development can effectively, safely receive this product for application on it's property following treatment by TWSA as contributor to the problem. The issues of a safe and effective means to deal with the blo-residual and we pruct in m st get the Jackson County have become one of the utmost importance to T WSA message across that effective bid -residual manaement has a direct correlation to water g quality and the costs associated therewith. Areas, which have traditionally received the product for agricultural uses, are on decline asfarms are being replaced with housing and other laird uses. It is my contention that by revealing the challenges of effective and environmentally safe bio-residuals management to new comers and natives to Jackson County alike that solutions can be found locally versus trucking the product out of county or the State for disposal. Thank you in advance for your considerations.

Jackson County Dear Mr. Mongomery: The Division of Water Quality, Asheville Regional Office, is in receipt of your letter dated April 8, 2003, As the request for the connection to your sewer line places the sewer lateral across adjacent property under ownership of the same family, and verbal permission of the adjacent family member, this office sees this as a building lateral, and not a permitable collection system. Construction of the proposed _temporary line should be started as soon as possible, to minimize the public health impact of the surfacing sewage. The two property owners in question should begin filing papers to create a legal easement across the adjacent family member's lot, so as to protect Mr. Gates' connection, should any of the property change hands. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-251-6208. Kevin H.
