RE: Anderson Creek South Development, Harnett County,North Carolina
Action ID No. SAW-2006-41244
NC DWQ Project#0 4-2019
Dear Mr. McMillian:
On March 31, 2011 we met in your office to discuss additional information necessary for the review of
the Anderson Creek Club's request to construct a lake. Supplemental to our March 9, 2011 submittal we
are providing the following, 1)an acceptance letter from the NC EEP, 2)a copy of the soil survey, 3)a
commitment to a minimum low flow, and 4)a commitment to engage a lake management firm.
Under separate cover you will receive a site plan for Anderson Creek South Phase 1. Site plans for each
additional future phase of Anderson Creek South will be submitted to your office for review to ensure
compliance with DWQ rules and regulations.
NC EEP Acceptance Letter
On April 26, 2011 the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program issued a letter accepting mitigation
responsibility for up to 4,600 feet of stream mitigation and 22.5 acres of riparian wetland mitigation. This
quantity exceeds those determined on our May 5, 2011 site evaluation as shown in the table below. Our
understanding during the meeting was that there would be no mitigation required for stream flooding but
that there would be a 1:1 mitigation ratio for wetland flooding impacts and stream filling impacts. We
will address the US Army Corps of Engineer's mitigation requirements in a forthcoming submittal to their
office.
Wetland Impact DWQ Mitigation
8.63 ac wetland flooding 8.63 ac

Harnett County Soil Survey(Attachment 2.)
The approximate boundaries of the project are depicted on the attached published soil survey.
Low Flow Commitment
The lake will comply with all of the requirements of 15A NCAC 2K—Dam Safety, including 15 A
NCAC 2K.0502 Required Minimum Flow for Dams (Not Small Hydro Projects); and 15 A NCAC
2K.0504 Monitoring of Minimum Flow Requirements.
Lake Management Strategy
Anderson Creek Club will procure the services of Foster Lake and Pond Management, or another firm
specializing in lake maintenance, lake management and lake and stream water quality regulatory
parameters,to ensure responsible environmental stewardship of the impoundment and associated stream
waters is conducted as an on-going program. It is anticipated that, as a minimum,the overall erosion
control program in conjunction with the stormwater management plan associated with the lake and
surrounding subdivision as well as the general lake appearance and any required water quality analyses,
(consistent with other recent 401 Water Quality Certifications for similar impoundments)are in
compliance with NC Division of Water Quality standards.
Please feel free to call me at 336/406-0906 with any questions that you may have.
Best regards,
Chris Huysman

Project:Anderson Creek Club Lake County:Harnett
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program(NCEEP)is willing to accept
payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that the payment will
be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these
agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved. You must also comply with all other state federal or local
government permits reolations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity including SL 2009337 An Act to Promote
Compensato Mitigation by Private Mitigation Banks
This acceptance is valid for nine months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the
issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame,this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's
responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s)an invoice will be issued based
on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In
Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following
table.
River CU Stream(feet) Wetlands(acres) Buffer I Buffer lI
Basin Location (Sq.Ft.) (Sq.Ft.)
Cold Coot Warm Ri arian Non-Riparian Coastal Marsh
Impact Cape Fear 03030004 0 0 2,300 11.25 0 0 0 0
Credits Cape Fear 03030004 0 0 Up to UP to 0 0 0 0
4,600 22.5
Upon receipt of payment,EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies require
mitigation credits greater than indicated above,and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional mitigation,the
applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The mitigation will be performed
in accordance with the N.C.Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee
Instrument dated July 28,2010.
If you have any questions or need additional information,please contact Kelly Williams at(919)716-1921.
