Re: Caldwell Residential Community - Action ID 200030488-490, NCDWQ Project # 00-0249
On behalf of Forest City Land Group, I am notifying you of a minor revision to the plans for the project.
The plan has been modified to respond to site topographical conditions. The ;plan now preserves a stream
that was previously permitted for a stream crossing, and relocates the road crossing to a stream that was
previously designated to be preserved
- There are no net changes to the total impacts, and there are no changes that would trigger additional
stream or wetland mitigation.
- The proposed relocated stream crossing will not exceed 150 linear feet: Overall impacts to the
tributary will not exceed 150 linear feet
know if you have any questions, and for your consideration.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Charles Wagner
Forest City Land Group
3030 Woodcrest Drive
Youngsville, NC, 29596
Dear Mr. Wagner:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 1,640 linear feet of
intermittent and perennial streams and 0.55 acre of wetlands for the purpose of constructing a residential
development (Caldwell, Phase I), as you described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on
1 l February 2000 and in revisions dated 31 May, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this
fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3108, 3290 and 3289. This certification allows you
to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 26, 3 and 14 when issued by the 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, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 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 except as modified
below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one
acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box
27447, Raleigh. N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,

also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Preconstruction meetings
d) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and
natural areas to be preserved.
e) Methods to prevent short terns impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
f) Wetlands and streams to be preserved will be clearly marked prior to construction to prevent
accidental damage to wetlands. The contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland
damage not permitted according to plans and specifications. Preconstruction meetings shall be
held if necessary with representatives of the USACE and the NCDWQ.
g) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life, such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters.

Cyndi:
The application was filed on February 11, 2000; received the "3/24/00 nasty letter"
from DWQ via owner on 3/24/00 (not copied to me); I notified Mike Parker approximately
two weeks after the letter was received - I believe he e-mailed John; met with Mike
Parker and Pet Colwell on the site on May 5; owner agreed to modify plan based on
meeting - called Mike and Pete indicating that Forest City agreed to reducing wetland
impacts and impacts to mitigatable streams; followed up with Mike and Pete regarding
site plan changes that minimized future impacts to mitigatable streams; submitted
follow-up letter to John and Pete on May 31, 2000.
- no impacts to any particular mitigatable stream over 150 If.
- impacts to wetlands - reduced to 1/3 acre
- USACE requiring buffers for mitigation
- process resulted in site plan changes that minimizes potential impacts.
I'll be on vacation - but if you have any more questions please call and leave a
message at 704-904-2277.
Thanks for your help. Len

Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation
- Except for the functional and necessary wetland and stream crossings and stormwater facility the overall

Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life, such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters.
Proposed Compensatory Mitigation
A mitigation plan is proposed for a "no net loss" of stream habitat, value, and function to the extent
feasible on this site. Unavoidable impacts to streams by grading are proposed to be mitigated by
riparian buffers around the remaining streams There are no stream impacts greater than 150 if to
anysspecific important stream.
PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The preserved wetlands and streams will be protected from future impacts by the applicant or by a group
designated by the applicant for this purpose. As required, development of these areas will be deed
restricted in accordance with restrictive covenants, or similar mechanisms which will be developed for
approval by the USACE and/or NCDWQ.

Re: Hyde Park - + 33 Acre Site Multi-Family Site, Charlotte, Meck County, NC -
NMT #26 DWQ #000738
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. Bill Kiselick, of Hills Communities of Charlotte, NC, I am
respectfully requesting a reconsideration of the additional conditions in the Approval of
401 Water Quality Certification. According to the owner and land planner for this project,
preparation of design documents began in 1998. Plans were developed anticipating
stormwater detention, however since this project was residential, they did not anticipate
stormwater treatment facilities. Except for rare circumstances the NCDWQ was not
requiring stormwater treatment facilities in 1998 for residential projects. The developer
has made a substantial investment in the planning and engineering of this project, and this
could cause a significant hardship in the construction of retaining walls, additional land
clearing, and possibly a redesign.
We are proposing the following for your consideration.
1) Total impervious surface on the project will not exceed 50%. It is anticipated that
maximum impervious area on the project site will be approximately 44%.
2) There will be no direct discharges of stormwater from buildings and parking lots
into any surface waters.
3) As indicated on the attached plan, water quality ponds will be provided to treat
runoff from the most concentrated area of the development or approximately 50% of the
total site, which includes the clubhouse area.
Hyde Park, Page 2
July 13, 2000
4) The discharge from the remaining dry detention basins will be diffused over the
surrounding natural and landscaped areas by the use of level spreading devices and plunge
pools. The plan indicates the nearest open channel or ditch.
Best Management Practices will be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
downstream. Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and
Erosion Control Plan. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and
aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters. As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures
will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters
until the concrete has hardened.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Caldwell Residential Community - Response to Comments - DWQ #000249
Dear Sirs:
Based on a site meeting with Mike Parker and Pete Colwell on May 5, 2000, my client has agreed to
modify the plan to further minimize impacts to important streams and wetlands on the project site. The
modifications are depicted on the attached plans and table.
Surface Waters Back Creek (±6200 If) + 2.13 ac.
Perennial to Intermittent Streams (± 5430 If) ± 0.75 ac.
Intermittent Streams ( ±1460 If - unimportant) ± 0.12 ac.
+ 3.90 ac.
+ 1.90 ac.
Total - Waters of the U.S.
+ 8.80 ac.
Road crossings and site prep. - important streams ± 425 if ± 0.06 ac.
(Mitigation provided - see compensatory mitigation)
Road crossings and site prep. - unimportant streams ±1065 if ± 0.07 ac.
(minor- non-mitigntable/Mike Parker)
Wetland impacts
Total - NWP #26
± 0.33 ac.
+1,490 if ± 0.50 ac.
Crossing (one crossing of one tributary) ± 150 if ±0.05 ac.
Pvalls utilized to minimize impacts, if required
AL 11"ACTS TO JURISDICTIONAL WATERS ± 1640 If ±0.55 ac.
- Additional permitting is expected in the future for utility installation utilizing NWP #12
- NWP #3 will be used to repair existing pond dams.
- Except for the functional and necessary wetland and stream crossings and stormwater facility the overall
plan has been designed to retain forested buffers along the wetlands and streams. Therefore the streams
and wetlands remaining on the project site will be enhanced by buffers. Best Management Practices will
also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Preconstruction meetings
d) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and
natural areas to be preserved.
e) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
fl Wetlands and streams to be preserved will be clearly marked prior to construction to prevent
accidental damage to wetlands. The contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland
damage not permitted according to plans and specifications. Preconstruction meetings shall be
held if necessary with representatives of the USACE and the NCDWQ.
g) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life, such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters.
A mitigation plan is proposed for a "no net loss" of stream habitat, value, and function to the extent
feasible on this site. Unavoidable impacts to streams by grading are p?posed to be mitigated by
riparian buffers around the remaining streams. There are no stream impacts greater than 150 if to
any specific important stream.
PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The preserved wetlands and streams will be protected from future impacts by the applicant or by a group
designated by the applicant for this purpose. As required, development of these areas will be deed
restricted in accordance with restrictive covenants, or similar mechanisms which will be developed for
approval by the USACE and/or NCDWQ.

Please contact me if you have any

Re: Hyde Park - + 33 Acre Site Multi-Family Site, Charlotte, Meek. County, NC -
NWP #26 DWG #000738
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. Bill Kiselick, of Hills Communities of Charlotte, NC, I am
respectfully requesting a reconsideration of the additional conditions in the Approval of
401 Water Quality Certification. According to the owner and land planner for this project,
preparation of design documents began in 1998. Plans were developed anticipating
stormwater detention, however since this project was residential, they did not anticipate
stormwater treatment facilities. Except for rare circumstances the NCDWQ was not
requiring stormwater treatment facilities in 1998 for residential projects. The developer
has made a substantial investment in the planning and engineering of this project, and this
could cause a significant hardship in the construction of retaining walls, additional land
clearing, and possibly a redesign.
We are proposing the following for your consideration.
1) Total impervious surface on the project will not exceed 50%. It is anticipated that
maximum impervious area on the project site will be approximately 44%.
2) There will be no direct discharges of stormwater from buildings and parking lots
into any surface waters.
3) As indicated on the attached plan, water quality ponds will be provided to treat
runoff from the most concentrated area of the development or approximately 50% of the
total site, which includes the clubhouse area.
Hyde Park, Page 2
July 13, 2000
4) The discharge from the remaining dry detention basins will be diffused over the
surrounding natural and landscaped areas by the use of level spreading devices and plunge
pools. The plan indicates the nearest open channel or ditch.
Best Management Practices will be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
downstream. Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and
Erosion Control Plan. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and
aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters. As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures
will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters
until the concrete has hardened.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 26, 3 and 14 when issued by the 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, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 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 except as modified
below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one
acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box

Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. Charles Wagoner of Forest City Land Group, I am providing you with the
following information concerning this planned development fbr your consideration, The project site is
located in rapidly developing areas northeast Mecldenburg County, The site is cmeatly zoned for a
residential development. Current land use in the vicinity ace agricultural land, single family subdivisions. The
project has been plagued sensitively to preserve the perennial, and intermittent streams to the fullest extent
feasible. Thera are approximately 11,630 if of important perennial to intermittent streams (including Back
Creek): and approximately 8.8 acrss of jurisdictional waters (streams, wetlands, ponds).
Due to Sensitive land planning, stream impacts are primarily confined to only those necessary to implement
necessary road crossings and to general site grading. Clearly defined construction and grading limits will be
implemented to minimize additional impacts as well as to preserve forested buffers to the extent feasible
along the Streams. The wetlands in the Back Creek floodplain will not be impacted. All fin material will be
unpolluted end appropriate measures to control sedimentation and erosion v411 be employed. Wetlands and
streams which will not be disturbed will be protected during construction from damage due to construction
traffic, drainage and other forms of disturbance,
The site within drainage areas of a tributary of Back Creek and the Yadkin Basin (Water Classification : C).
The majority of the site is moderately to a broad floodplain.
Wedand Hyftingv and Uxdri'e Code
Wetland hydrotogy is provided by a seasonal flooding, and from seeps, springs. and surface runoff over a
clayey subsola. These wetlands can be classified as Falustrine Forested Broad Leaved, Scrub Shrub,
Temporarily to Seasonally Flooded (PF01A,,PFO1C, MIA, &W PSS1F).

typical, wetland species.
.STIMMARY OF WATERS OF TAM U.X
Preliminary identification and delineation of the. JurWictional'Waters on the site were determined according
to the Carps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with Appendices.
Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA Soil
Conservation' Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the_ Routine
Oa Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to
make a positive wetland determipation indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland
hydrology must be identified as described in the manual. The wrO ds map has been used for planning and
potential pemaitting purposes, Hydropbytic Vegetation has becrz identified according to the rational List of

- Except for the fimetional and necessary wetland and stream crossings and stormwater facility the overall
plat!, has been designed to retain forested buffers. along the wetlands and streams. Therefore the streams and
wetlands remainft on the project site will be enhanced by buffers. Best Management Practices will also be
employed to mini a impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. These wil include:
P
a) Stiltadon Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive Was 6d to protect trees
e) Proconstruction meetings
d) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and
natural areas to be preserved
e) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected
constriction of the project regularly and maintained during
.
Wetlands and streams to.be preserved will be clearly marlred prior to conshuction to prevent
accidental damage to wetlands. The contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland
damage not permitted according to plans and specifi cati?cpus. Preoonstruction meetings shag be held
if necessary with representatlvea of the USACE and the 14CDWQ,
S) Project construction will.strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Lrosion Control Plan.
Best MrA&gement Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control
structures where apln'opriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and
aquatic life, such as Riels will be avoided by not porn-itting staging arenas to to located near surface
waters.

PROTECTION FRWFUTU)MDEVELOPMENT
The preserved wetlands and streams will be protected from future impacts by the applicant or by a group
designated by the applicant for this purpose- As required, development of these areas will be deed restricted
in accordance with restrictive covenants, or -similar mechanisms which will be developed ;for approval by the
USAC& and/or NCDWQ,
ALUATIC44BITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of wetlgn-' -.1!t It tributaries, A variety of wildlife
is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, mollusks, and
crustaceans, Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be
maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality downstream and
protect the areas to be preserved. Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will
affect aquatic habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid recovery.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control
structures where appropriate. Impacts tom hazardous material; and other toxins to fish and aquatic life
such as &ele will be avoided by not permitting staging areas tb be located near surface waters. Also,, as
required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or flesh
concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened. Aquatic resources are
expected to be enhanced through the development of the stormvater detention ponds and littoral zones,
THRF,. 7TMI) AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
]Federally listed plant and animal.species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified two endangered species -
Schweinites sunflower (Helienthus schweinitzH), and the Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorats).
Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of succession fields, margins, and forested opernngs.
Portions of the site are currently in old field nccesslou and secondary succession. The site is forested and
oharaeterized by heavy overgrowth in open areas including blackberry, honeysuckle, eleagnus, and
ligusttum. An evaluation of the t119i.SGhBtcit113?: 1 wer at i ,.1ltLk lY?o r s n in

The Carolina heelsplitter is a freshwater mussel which p*er - ?-7ass either in a ponded portion of a
small stream or in runs along steep banks with moderate curreut.!Primary habitat are waters less than, three
feet deep with a soft mud, muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate, It is normally restricted to protected
silted areas or under banks especially associated with obstruct=4 such as stumps or men trees, Its current
distribution according to the US Fish and wildlife service is led to portions of two streams -- Goose
Creek and Warhaw Creek - and a small river originating from rural area in Union County. Therefore it is
does not occur on this site.

The Carouse Darter (Etheostoma eollis) is a Sah that inhabits, small streams such as those found in the
project MR. This species has a federal statui of Proposed Special Concern and a state status of Special
Concern the species pxefero small cleat streams of less than 1S' width with moderate to swift current and a
sand/gravel beathic composition. It apparently tolerates a wide range of water quality conditions and
vegetation types adjacent to the streams and appears resistant to pollution. (E. Menhinick). Therefore, strict
adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the constmotion
period in order to control degradation of water quality,
CULTURAL RESO'URCES
The State HWoric Preservation Office may review of the. USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology
and the Survey and Planting Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to determine if
sites are indicated on the National Historic Lister within the study area.
CONCLUSION
Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive and
creative planning has chosen to, balance the site's.economic'viability with its environmental value and
peiMitability. The goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental
consequences of this development by creating a beneficial aquatic resource that will help maintain or
mio? degradation of waters of the U.S. dowmweam of the project and through enhancement of
remaining streams. The undisturbed wetlaad areas and the mitigation sites will be preserved by the applicant
or by a group designated by the owner for this purpose.
