Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality DWQ Project # 05-2094 Mecklenburg County Dear Mr. Mason: On May 16, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received the revised storm water management plan prepared by your engineer, Mr. David Braun, of E.M.H& T Inc. This Plan has been reviewed and satisfies the storm water management conditions of the 401 Water Quality Certification issued on December 5, 2005. The structural storm water practices as approved by DWQ as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural storm water practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. Storm water easements shall be recorded for a distance of at least 10 feet on each side of all storm water conveyances on all lots containing these structures including future access for maintenance. The storm water easements shall allow for the ability to maintain the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of the structures from potential alternations by future property owners. 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 Mr. Samuel A. Aghimien at 919-733-3574.

Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality December 5, 2005 DWQ# 05-2094 Mecklenburg County APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Permit with Additional Conditions Dear Mr. Mason: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 0.08 acre of isolated wetland and impact 272 linear feet (If) of an unnamed tributary to Clarke Creek in order to construct the Villas at Ridge Road Subdivision Mecklenburg County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on November 29, 2004 and in additional correspondence received November 21, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 and State General Permit for Impacts to Isolated Wetlands and Isolated Waters (IWGP100000). The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permits expire unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes are installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.

Use of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening methods. If riprap is necessary, it shall not be place in the streambed, unless approved by the DWQ. 2. Storm water discharge points shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential receiving streams (of the discharge) at the site will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion of the stream banks. 3. A final written storm water management plan shall be approved in writing by this Office prior to the construction of any permanent facilities at the subject site. The storm water facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the storm water management plan (as approved by this Office) shall be implemented. The structural storm water practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural storm water practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. 4. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. 5. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of such BMP in order to protect surface water standards. 6. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. 7. Continuing Compliance. The Applicant (Mr. Jeff Mason, Carolina Style Properties) shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with state water quality standards (including any requirements for compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify the applicant and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to the applicant in writing, shall be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project. 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 that conforms to Chapter 1506 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Mr. Alan Johnson in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721. Sincerely, Alan W.

WET DETENTION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT The wet detention basin system is defined as the wet detention basin, pretreatment including forebays and the vegetated filter if one is provided. Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows: After every significant runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly: a. Inspect the wet detention basin system for sediment accumulation, erosion, trash accumulation, vegetated cover, and general condition. b. Check and clear the orifice of any obstructions such that drawdown of the temporary pool occurs within 2 to 5 days as designed. 2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re-seed as necessary to maintain good vegetative cover, mow vegetative cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed. 3. Inspect and repair the collection system (i.e. catch basins, piping, swales, riprap, etc.) quarterly to maintain proper functioning. 4. Remove accumulated sediment from the wet detention basin system semi-annually or when depth is reduced to 75% of the original design depth (see diagram below). Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner ,and shall be handled in a manner that will not adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a wet detention basin or stream, etc.). The measuring device used to determine the sediment elevation shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments. ,When the permanent pool depth reads 4.9 feet in the main pond, the sediment shall be removed. When the permanent pool depth reads 2.9 feet in the forebay [and micro-pool], the sediment shall be removed.

Jurisdictional Delineation On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.3 This delineation was surveyed (using a sub- meter GPS unit) and field-verified by Mr. Tim Smith of the USACE Asheville Regulatory Field Office. Mr. Smith signed the Wetland Boundary Survey and a copy of this survey has been enclosed as Figure 1. There are two non jurisdictional, isolated wetland areas located within the property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Non- Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DP1- DP4). Jurisdictional, waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Streams A, B, and Channel C have been enclosed (SCP1 - SCP3). The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A and B) located within the project area. Stream A is an unnamed tributary to Clarke Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke Creek and Little Stoney Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy Smith of the USACE Asheville Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002. Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A. Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B. Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow, channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel. C appears to have developed as a result of storm water runoff from an adjacent development. 3 Environmental Laboratory.

Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum, willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. The area consists of multiple elongated depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (IOYR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPI). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed as Photograph C. Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green ash, red elm (Ubnus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 5/8), saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representing Wetland BB is enclosed (DP3). A photograph of Isolated Wetland BB is enclosed as Photograph D. Agency Correspondence Cultural Resources A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not yet been received. Protected Species A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received. Purpose and Need for the Project The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide access and additional space for condominium construction. Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. November 17, 2005 Ms. Amanda Jones Page 4 of 4 Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Non-Jurisdictional Wetlands AA and BB total approximately 0.104 and 0.07 acre, respectively. These proposed impacts are a result of fill activities. An Isolated Wetlands Permit Application is being submitted to the NCDWQ for these impacts. Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet (0.02 acre). Proposed impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf of Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification Application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3402 (enclosed). Compensatory Mitigation Construction of this project has avoided any impacts to perennial streams, therefore no mitigation is currently being proposed.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. VIII. Mitigation Construction of this project has avoided any impacts to perennial streams. therefore no mitigation is currently being proposed. 1. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option.

Jurisdictional Delineation On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual .3 There are two non jurisdictional, isolated wetland areas located within the property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Non-Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non- jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DP 1- DP4). Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDW& and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Streams A, B, and Channel C have been enclosed (SCPI - SCP3). The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A and B) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). Streatn A is an unnamed tributary to Clarke Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke Creek and Little Stoney Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy Smith of the USACE Asheville Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002. Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A. Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B. Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow, channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel C appears to have developed as a result of storm water runoff from an adjacent development. Wetland AA is located in the northeast portion of the project area and is approximately 0.104 acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum, willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and 3 Environmental Laboratory.

The area consists of multiple elongated depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (10YR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPl). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed as Photograph C. Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green ash, red elm (Ulmus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 5/8), saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns.

Agency Correspondence Cultural Resources A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not yet been received. Protected Species A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received. Purpose and Need for the Project The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide access and additional space for condominium construction. Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet (0.02 acre). These impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement. A Pre-Construction Notification Application pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification November 17, 2005 Ms. Cyndi Karoly Page 4 of 4 No. 3402 are being submitted to the USACE and the NCDWQ for these stream impacts. Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Wetlands AA and BB total approximately 0.104 and 0.07 acre, respectively. These impacts are a result of fill activities (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf of Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting an Isolated Wetlands Permit application with attachments in accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:02H.1300 (enclosed). Compensatory Mitigation Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non jurisdictional isolated wetlands, no formal mitigation is being proposed. Storm Water Management The total impervious area for the development exceeds 30%. Therefore, a Storm Water Management (SWMP) is being developed to treat storm water coming from the site. A detention basin is being planned in the western portion of the site (Figure 2). This plan is being designed by EMH&T and will meet the NCDWQ 85% total suspended solids removal goal.

Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: N/A VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. VIII. Mitigation Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non jurisdictional waters no formal mitigation is being proposed. Mitigation may also be made by payment. into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http:h'h2o.enr.state.ne.us%wip/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: ?a-, 4 of 7 Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only) Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local) land? Yes ? No If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?

No If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ? X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify: )? Yes ? No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers.

If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260. XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. Sources of nearby impervious cover include roads, driveways, and rooftops. This Droiect will cause an increase in the impervious coverage of the project area XI1. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.

Jurisdictional Delineation On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manua13 This delineation was surveyed (using a sub- meter GPS unit) and field-verified by Mr. Tim Smith of the USACE Asheville Regulatory Field Office. Mr. Smith signed the Wetland Boundary Survey and a copy of this survey has been enclosed as Figure 1. There are two non jurisdictional, isolated wetland areas located within the property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Non- Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DP 1- DP4). Jurisdictional. waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Streams A, B, and Channel C have been enclosed (SCP1- SCP3). The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A and B) located within the project area. Stream A is an unnamed tributary to Clarke Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke Creek and Little Stoney Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy Smith of the USACE Asheville Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002. Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A. Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B. Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow, channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel. C appears to have developed as a result of storm water runoff from an adjacent development. 3 Environmental Laboratory.

Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum, willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. The area consists of multiple elongated depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (10YR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPI). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed as Photograph C. Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green ash, red elm (Ubnus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 5/8), saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns.

Agency Correspondence Cultural Resources A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not yet been received. Protected Species A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received. Purpose and Need for the Project The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide access and additional space for condominium construction. Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. November 17, 2005 Ms. Amanda Jones Page 4 of 4 Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Non-Jurisdictional Wetlands AA and BB total approximately 0.104 and 0.07 acre, respectively. These proposed impacts are a result of fill activities. An Isolated Wetlands Permit Application is being submitted to the NCDWQ for these impacts. Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet (0.02 acre). Proposed impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf of Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification Application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3402 (enclosed). Compensatory Mitigation Construction of this project has avoided any impacts to perennial streams, therefore no mitigation is currently being proposed.

Jurisdictional Delineation On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual 3 There are two non jurisdictional, isolated wetland areas located within the property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Non-Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non- jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DPI - DP4). Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Streams A, B, and Channel C have been enclosed (SCP1- SCP3). The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A and B) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is an unnamed tributary to Clarke Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke Creek and Little Stoney Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy Smith of the USACE Asheville Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002. Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A. Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B. Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow, channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel C appears to have developed as a result of storm water runoff from an adjacent development. Wetland AA is located in the northeast portion of the project area and is approximately 0.104 acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum, willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and 3 Environmental Laboratory.

The area consists of multiple elongated depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (IOYR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPI). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed as Photograph C. Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green ash, red elm (Ubnus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 518), saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns.

Agency Correspondence Cultural Resources A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not yet been received. Protected Species A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received. Purpose and Need for the Project The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide access and additional space for condominium construction. Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet (0.02 acre). These impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement. A Pre-Construction Notification Application pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification November 17, 2005 Ms. Cyndi Karoly Page 4 of 4 No. 3402 are being submitted to the USACE and the NCDWQ for these stream impacts. Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Wetlands AA and BB total approximately 0.104 and 0.07 acre, respectively. These impacts are a result of fill activities (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf of Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting an Isolated Wetlands Permit application with attachments in accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:02H.1300 (enclosed). Compensatory Mitigation Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non jurisdictional isolated wetlands, no formal mitigation is being proposed. Storm Water Management The total impervious area for the development exceeds 30%. Therefore, a Storm Water Management (SWMP) is being developed to treat storm water coming from the site. A detention basin is being planned in the western portion of the site (Figure 2). This plan is being designed by EMH&T and will meet the NCDWQ 85% total suspended solids removal goal.
