On April 6, 2016, Alan Johnson of the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) and
Gregg Antemann and Kelly Thames of CWS met on site to discuss the project and
jurisdictionally of the stream in question. During the site visit, additional NCDEQ Stream
Classification Forms were completed, which determined that the upper portion of Stream A is a
non jurisdictional ephemeral conveyance. A revised Jurisdictional Boundary map (Figure 1),
Stream Classification Points (SCP1 — SCP3), and a photopage are attached. Please consider this
permit application in light of the change in stream classification for the upper portion of Stream
A.

Response to Request for Additional Information CWS Protect No. 2016-3882
In response to your letter via email dated April 5, 2016 (attached):
In is unclear, from the plans submitted and the project description, why the course cannot be
redesigned to completely avoid this stream. Please submit a set of plans that clearly shows
how the entire course would be reconfigured and provide a detailed description of why this
stream cannot be avoided.
a. The purpose of this project is to make improvements for six holes within the existing
golf course for the PGA Championship that Quail Hollow Country Club is hosting in
August 2017 (Figure 2, attached). Quail Hollow Country club is the premier golf club
in Charlotte, NC and plays host to multiple golf tournaments. Six of the holes within
the golf course require a redesign in order to meet the standards for the upcoming
PGA Championship. The project's goals include longer distances from tees to holes
and a greater degree of difficulty in the fairway design to provide new challenges to
players. Sales for this event have already commenced and our client would like to
begin work on the north course in May of this year in order that work would be
complete in time for the tournament season in 2017.
b. The adjustment extension and reconfiguring of Hole #1 proposed for the PGA
Championship will result in the hole playing into the area of the current 2nd golf hole
(Figures 2 and 3, attached). This redesign of Hole #1 will result in an impact to
Stream A and is necessary to provide the fairway and rough play areas.
Moreover, this feature is highly eroded and incised and posing a safety hazard. With
regard to Quail Hollow annually hosting a significant professional golf tournament,
and especially in 2017 with a major professional tournament (the PGA
Championship), the current condition of Stream A would pose a safety risk daily for
the thousands of pedestrian spectators who will be circulating in proximity to this area
during each year's tournament. Additionally, outside of the annual professional
tournament, thousands of golfers play the course each year and would also be
susceptible to same risk. The proposed piping of Stream A will improve the daily
function of the annual professional golf tournaments by providing a safer, more
functional, and more usable circulation corridor on the right side of Hole #1 for
spectators, players/participants, tournament officials, maintenance personnel, and
others.
d. Therefore, due to the necessary redesign of Hole #1 required for the 2017 PGA
Championship and the safety hazard of its current condition, an impact to Stream A is
unavoidable. Proposed impacts include 117 linear feet of pipe.
2. Please submit a proposal to compensate for the loss of the stream. Generally speaking, lower
quality streams requires a compensatory mitigation ratio of 1:1 or less. The compensatory
mitigation proposal should be based on the functions currently being provided by the stream
and the likely functions that would be provided through the compensatory mitigation
proposal/project.
a. Per the site visit on April 6, 2016, the upper portion of Stream A is now considered a
non jurisdictional ephemeral conveyance and is depicted on the revised JD figure and
stream classification forms. Only 117 linear feet (0.01 acre) of jurisdictional channel
is located within the project limits and is proposed to be impacted. Therefore, as the
proposed impact linear footage amount is below 150 linear feet, compensatory
mitigation is no longer required.

3. The geographic coordinate found throughout the application is incorrect.
a. Yes the coordinates were incorrect, however, the correct ones are 35.112315,
-80.844985, which should be approximately where Photograph D (attached)
was taken and is illustrated on the revised JD map (Figure 1, attached).
4. You state in the drawings and the application that the upstream end of Stream A would be
permitted as acreage. This is not correct. Stream impacts should be quantified using linear
footage and cubic yards below OHWM. Wetlands should be quantified using acreage or
square footage. Impoundments of waters (ponds/lakes) should be quantified using acreage or
square footage and cubic yards below OHWM. It is helpful to provide the area of stream loss
in cases where the impacts are close to the 0.5 acre loss threshold under the NWP program
(very rare).
a. Per the site visit on April 6, 2016, the upper portion of Stream A is now considered a
non jurisdictional ephemeral conveyance and is depicted on the revised JD figure and

is proposed to be impacted.
Thank for you your consideration in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 704-408-1683,

On March 7, 2016, we received your application for a Department of the Army permit to place fill material into waters of the U.S. to facilitate the redesign of a golf course in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina. We have assigned the project the reference number SAW -2016-00481. Please cite this reference number in the subject line of all correspondence with us concerning this project. I will be the project
manager processing this application. I have completed the initial review of the application and it is incomplete. The following is necessary before I can proceed with processing your application:
a. In accordance with 2012 Nationwide Permit General Condition 31(b)(3), your pre -construction notification must include a description of the proposed project and the project's purpose. The description should
be sufficiently detailed to allow the district engineer to determine that the adverse effects of the project will be minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation. The stated purpose of the project
is "... to make improvements for six holes within the existing golf course for the PGA Championship that Quail Hollow Country Club is hosting in August 2017". The application also states that six of the holes
within the golf course require a redesign in order to meet the standards for the upcoming PGA Championship. I have reviewed the plans submitted with the application and aerial imagery of the stream. The
streams appears to be located in a wooded area between two existing grassed fairways. In is unclear, from the plans submitted and the project description, why the course cannot be redesigned to completely
avoid this stream. Please submit a set of plans that clearly shows how the entire course would be reconfigured and. provide a detailed description of why this stream cannot be avoided.
b. In accordance with Wilmington District regional general condition 3.2 of the 2012 Nationwide Permit, compensatory mitigation is required for any NWP that results in a loss of more than 150 linear feet of
perennial and/or ephemeral/intermittent stream to compensate for more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse impacts to the aquatic environment. Please submit a proposal to compensate for the
loss of the stream. Generally speaking, lower quality streams requires a compensatory mitigation ratio of 1:1 or less. The compensatory mitigation proposal should be based on the functions currently being
provided by the stream and the likely functions that would be provided through the compensatory mitigation proposal/project.
Also, the following errors in the application should be corrected:
a. The geographic coordinate found throughout the application are incorrect.
b. You state in the drawings and the application that the upstream end of Stream A would be permitted as acreage. This is not correct. Streams impacts should be quantified using linear footage and cubic
yards below OHWM. Wetlands should be quantified using acreage or square footage. Impoundments of waters (ponds/lakes) should be quantified using acreage or square footage and cubic yards below
OHWM. It is helpful to provide the area of stream loss in cases where the impacts are close to the 0.5 acre loss threshold under the NWP program (very rare).
Please submit the required information within 30 -days from the date of this correspondence. If you do not submit this information with 30 -days your application will be administratively canceled. Cancellation of
your application does not preclude you from reopening the application at a later time, provided you submit the information requested above. If you have any question please contact me via e-mail at
[e-mail] or by telephone at [phone].
