U. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed MendenHall Project is located on approximately 104 acres between
Greensboro and High Point on NC Highway 68 in Guilford County, North Carolina. The
tract is approximately two to three miles south of Exit 210 on Interstate 40 and within
three miles of the Piedmont Triad International Airport. The site is ideally situated to
take advantage of and enhance the rapid economic growth related to the research, high
technology, financial, industrial, and business park developments and facilities in this
area of Greensboro. The project site is zoned for intensive industrial, commercial, and
business park development. The immediate project area is rural in character and consist
mostly of former agricultural and undeveloped land however large office, and other
commercial facilities have been developed in the vicinity. A large portion of the acreage
of the project is in open fields and the woodland areas in various stages of succession.
Due to the site planning constraints (earthwork) of a development of this type, large
contiguous areas must be graded as building pads and parking. The plan preserves and
enhances the water quality and habitat value of a large and high value wetlands area in
the Deep River floodplain. The wetlands which are impacted by the project include
primarily small tributaries, isolated wetland areas, and perched wetlands.
As shown on the Nationwide Permit (NWP) applications, the developer seeks approval to
impact approximately 1.42 acres of jurisdictional waters. All fill material will be
unpolluted and appropriate measures to control sedimentation and erosion will be
employed. Effective minimization and mitigation measures are proposed to offset the
replace wetland values lost and enhance the quality of the remaining wetlands. Wetlands
which will not be disturbed will be protected during construction from construction
traffic, drainage, and other forms of disturbance. A total of 2.40 acres of very high quality
emergent, scrub/shrub and bottomland hardwood wetlands will be preserved and
protected by buffers in an area which will be designated as Public Open Space. The
hydrology of the remaining wetland areas will be enhanced from the outfalls of storm
water quality detention basins. In addition, existing drainage ditches within the 'large
wetland "A" will be removed or plugged to restore hydrology to more natural conditions.
The following sections present the results of the environmental planning and regulatory
reviews of the project site and a description of the impacts and proposed minimization
and mitigation measures. The undisturbed wetland areas and the mitigation sites will be
preserved by the applicant or by a group designated by the Owner for this purpose.

III. THREATENED AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are
protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The Bald eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalus) is listed as threatened in Guilford County. A review of USGS (Guilford
Quad) Maps at the Natural Heritage Program at NCDEHNR in Raleigh did not indicate
any endangered species previously identified on the site. Concurrence with these findings
in a letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is attached.
IV. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and the Survey and Planning Branch (SPB) of
the NC Department of Cultural Resources - State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
was visited in May, 1996 to review potential existing designations on the USGS
(Guilford) Quad maps. The purpose of this review was to determine if there was of
previously identified sites in the project area.
Based on review of the maps at the OSA and at the SPB, no previously identified or
surveyed sites are currently indicated on the maps within the project area. Several areas
around the project area and in the vicinity have been surveyed, and although several sites
were indicated, none were determined eligible for the listing in the National Register.
Required formal contact was made with the SHPO. Their concurrence with these
findings is attached.
V. AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of headwater wetlands and intermittent
tributaries of Deep River and below headwater wetlands in floodplain. 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. Wetlands that are preserved will be protected by natural and protected buffer
areas as indicated on the plan.
Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic
habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid
recovery. 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. Also, 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.

Dear Ms. Martino
On behalf of my client, Mr. John Brandon of Liberty Properties, I am notifying the US Fish and Wildlife
Service regarding the presence of endangered species which may be affected by the proposed development.
Due to site development requirements, it may be necessary in the near future to apply for Section 404
Nationwide Permits. A review of USGS Maps at the Natural Heritage Program at NCDEHNR in Raleigh on
August 2, 1996 did not indicate any endangered species previously identified on the site. The tract is
wooded in mature hardwoods in various stages of succession from tree harvesting and areas of old field
succession. I have included for your use a copy of the portion of the USGS (Guilford Quad) Map, a soils
map created from SCS Soil Survey for your information. We look forward to your response and please
contact me if you have any questions about the site based on my evaluation or need additional information.
I am also requesting written confirmation if you concur with the findings so I may include it with our permit
application in the future.

VI. JURISDICTIONAL WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
The ecological, aesthetic and recreational values of Waters of the United States,
including wetlands, are protected by federal and state regulations. They are considered
sensitive habitats for fish and wildlife and also provide flood protection and pollution
control.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires regulation of discharges and authorizes the
US Army Corps of Engineers to regulate the disposal of dredged or fill material into
"Waters of the United States", which includes wetlands. The North Carolina Department
of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
Water Quality Section also reviews permitting effects based on Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act.
Wetlands are defined as:
"Those areas that are inundated or saturated by groundwater at a frequency and duration
to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adopted to life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps,
marshes, bogs, and similar areas" (33 CFR 328.3(b), 1986). An area is determined to be a
wetland when it exhibits hydric Soil, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology
characteristics. These characteristics are required to be in accordance with the definitions
in the US Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas which exhibit these
three characteristics are identified as a wetland and permits are required for development
activities within these areas. The Clean Water Act also protects surface waters through
Section 404 and Section 401. Surface waters can include, but may not be limited to
creeks, lakes, streams, ponds, and intermittent tributaries.
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were
determined according to the Corps 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 On-Site Determination
Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to make a
positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and
wetland hydrology must be identified as described in the manual. Typical observation
plots were located along transects perpendicular to the drainageway direction to observe
and record potential indicators. This information was then recorded on Data Form - 1
which indicates specific information about the typical plot. The upper boundary was
assumed to occur between the non-wetland and wetland plots.
6
Due to the complexity of this site numerous additional test plots and borings were
conducted when necessary to increase the accuracy of the delineation. Once the wetland /
non-wetland determination was made the characteristics at that point were utilized to
determine the wetland boundary between transects and additional test plots through
visual observation. The wetland boundary was marked in the field by Leonard S.
Rindner, Environmental Planning Consultant, and was reviewed, field adjusted, and
verified by the USACE (John Thomas) on May 9, 1996. The approved wetland boundary
is marked in the field with pink and yellow flagging. This delineation between upland
and wetland was then surveyed by a registered surveyor (David Mitcham and Associates,
P.A.) to determine the actual wetland extents for submittal to the USACE for
confirmation, planning, and potential permitting purposes.
Wetland Description
The wetlands on the site can be described as Palustrine Forested Broad - Leaved and
Scrub Shrub Temporarily Flooded (PFO 1 A, PSS 1 A) and Palustrine Forested Broad -
Leaved Seasonally Flooded (PFO 1 C, PFO 1 C). The PFO 1 C wetland areas are
characterized by more saturated and ponded conditions with various depths of
inundation. The largest contiguous wetland area occurs the base of the ridge where it was
currently inundated from surface runoff apparently from upstream sources and possibly
trapped flood waters from East Fork Deep River. Portions of this wetland "slough" may
be remnants of a former location of the Deep River as manifested by the steep banks. As
depicted on the approximate map there are extensive areas of non-wetland floodplain
which has been field verified by the USACE. The wetland area "A" in the north portion
of the site in the floodplain apparently has been attempted to be drained in the past by a
network of drainage ditches and channels.
The floodplain in the vicinity of the sewerline is primarily non-wetland riparian berm.
Although several other areas were ponded there were indications that portions of these
area have marginal soil conditions and are not wetland. East Fork Deep River and
adjacent wetlands in the vicinity of the project were determined to be below headwaters
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The remaining wetlands on the site are headwater
forest wetlands and are associated with seeps, springs, and intermittent tributaries.
11 Hydric Soil
Hydric soils are defined as soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough
during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. The soils in
the floodplain are mapped as being Chewacla loam. According to Soil Conservation
Service, Technical Guide-Section II-A-2, June 1991, Chewacla loam (Ch) soils are listed
as Map Units with inclusions (probably Wehadkee) of Hydric Soils in Guilford County.
Other wetland areas occur in a perched water table over a dense subsoils common to
slowly permeable Enon. A typical characteristic of these soils is a dense, sometimes
"plastic" sticky, clay layer close to the surface.
7
2) Mdmph ytic Vegetation
Most of the floodplain area is generally forested in bottomland hardwoods and scrub
shrub vegetation. Vegetation in wetland areas of the floodplain are dominated by
Facultative Wet and Obligate Vegetation including green ash, willow, American elm,
sycamore. Facultative such as sweet gum, red maple, and ironwood and others appear
along the transition areas to upland. The shrub layer includes silky dogwood, alder, and
buttonbush. The herbaceous layer includes lizard tail, sweet flag, duck potato, arrow-
arum, soft rush, jewel-weed and sedges, and other species characteristic of wetter places.
The headwaters are dominated by Facultative Vegetation such as of sweetgum, red
maple, ironwood. The lower strata are dominated by Facultative Wet species such as
silky dogwood, spice bush, jewelweed, spike rush, and other typical herbaceous
vegetation such as poison ivy. There are also red cedar which seem to be stunted.
Wetland Hydrology
Wetland hydrology is provided by flooding, groundwater seeps and springs at the base of
the ridge, and stormwater runoff from upstream development. Several required indicators
were found.
East Fork Deep River eventually flows into High Point Lake. It is in the Cape Fear River
Basin. The Water Classification is "WS IV CA" : waters protected as water supplies
which are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds; local programs to
control nonpoint source and stormwater discharge of pollution are required. It is suitable
for all Class C uses; aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary
recreation, and agriculture. For permitting purposes, East Fork Deep River and adjacent
wetlands in the vicinity of the project are "below headwaters". These include areas A, D,
and E. The smaller tributaries and the associated adjacent wetlands are headwaters.

Re: Wetland Delineation for Approximate 104 Acre Piedmont Centre - Mendenhall
Site. Guilford County, North Carolina
Dear Ray:
I visited the proposed project site during the month of April at your request to delineate
the extent of wetland areas identified earlier for verification by the USACE. The
delineation was conducted in accordance with the definitions in the U.S. Army Corps
Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987. These wetland areas were then verified by the
USACE on May 9, 1996. Surface waters such as perennial/ intermittent creeks subject to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act were also identified.
The flags should now be located by a surveyor to determine the actual wetland extents.
The flagging is yellow and pink tied together numbered sequentially in Areas "A"
through "N" as roughly depicted on the attached map. Once the survey is complete, the
preliminary plan should be reviewed in regard to potential permitting issues. I will also
need to review the survey and submit it to the USACE with supportive documentation for
confirmation.
If you have any questions or need further explanation please let me know.
Sincerely,

Leonard S. Rindner, PWS

-197- WTI, 1995
The wetlands on this site were evaluated by the NCDWQ (Mr. Ron Linville) on May 17,
1996 according to the Fourth Version - Guidance for Rating Values of Wetlands in North
Carolina. The wetland areas in the floodplain were determined to of very high value.
Most of the values are attributed to:
- Water Storage
- Bank Stabilization
- Pollutant Removal
- Aquatic life habitat
The wetlands determined to be above headwaters were evaluated to be of moderate to
low value. The evaluation forms are attached.
VII. WETLANDS PERMITTING AND MITIGATION
Preliminary planning involved site analysis and consideration of environmental and
regulatory issues. Topography, natural features and systems, circulation, site
organization, future utilities, open space, development requirements, and environmental
issues were considerations in designing the overall plan. Once the final extents of the
wetland areas were determined, a very strong effort, as depicted on the land plan, was
made to avoid and minimize impacts to most valuable wetlands. Minimization and
mitigation measures were developed based on discussions in the field with the USACE
and the NCDWQ. The plan and commitments made in this report reflect a positive
response to the preliminary discussions, determinations, and concerns of the regulatory
agencies. Except for temporary construction and development impacts, we believe that
the proposed project will not cause significant impacts to the ecological functions or
values of Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
Due to the economic, engineering, and spatial requirements of a development of this
magnitude, large contiguous areas must be graded for building pads and parking. Filling
of the small areas of wetlands on this tract is unavoidable and not practicable. As
recommended by the NCDWQ and as depicted on the plan, large buffer areas will be
retained to protect these wetland areas. The outlets from the required stormwater
detention ponds will also designed to maintain the hydrology of these wetland areas. The
discharge velocity will be reduced to minimize erosion. Overall wetlands and surface
waters to be preserved, enhanced, and conserved will be within approximately 12 acres
of natural area. Best Management Practices will also be employed to minimize additional
impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. BMP's will include:

Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to
adjacent wetlands and natural areas to be preserved. Methods to prevent short term
impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during construction of the project.
Wetlands and buffers will be clearly marked rior 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.
The development of the project will require an estimated 1.42 acres of impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters of the U. S. utilizing NWP #26 and NWP # 18. These are detailed on
the following plans and schedules.
General Description of Impacts Utilizing NAP #26 (Headwaters & Isolated Wal

CoMensatorv Mitigation
A mitigation plan has been developed to provide for a "no net loss" of wetland habitat,
value, and function to the extent feasible on this site. The type of mitigation shown on the
plans are described below and generally fall under the category of Creation and
Enhancement. Many areas of the floodplain may have been wetlands in the past and
portions may qualify as Restoration.
Enhancement - Increasing one or more of the functions of an existing wetland by
manipulation of vegetation and/or hydrology.
Enhancement Mitigation to compensate for the proposed impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
include the following as depicted on the Wetland Permitting and Mitigation Plan:
Maintaining and supplementing hydrology to existing wetland areas "A", "D", by
utilizing discharges from the stormwater system. On-site stormwater will be treated in
wet detention ponds. The discharge velocity from the ponds will be reduced and diffused
utilizing standard rip-rap plunge pools and level spreading devices. Wetland areas
accidentally disturbed by construction will be restored and replanted with hydrophytic
vegetation such as bottomland hardwoods, shrubs, and herbaceous materials.
As recommended by the NCDWQ, wetlands will be enhanced and protected by
being incorporated within a natural buffer area as depicted on the plan. For aesthetic
reasons, many scrub areas consisting of ligustrum within the buffers areas and wetlands
may be thinned or removed. Thinning or plant removal within wetlands will be
conducted without mechanized land clearing equipment.
Creation - Construction of a wetland area where wetlands did not exist in recent past.
This will be achieved by providing a wetland fringe and littoral zone in association with
Wet Detention Pond in the floodplain of approximately 1/3 to 1/2 acre. A plant list will
be developed to select the appropriate vegetation according to hydrological zone. The
final aquatic bench plans and specifications will forwarded to the USACE and NCDWQ
for approval. Plant selection shall include those plants which have strong nutrient
removal capabilities.
Restoration - Wetland hydrology will be restored to portions of Wetland "A" by
removing or blocking drainage ditches installed in the past to drain the wetlands.
11
This wetland mitigation area has a diverse population of competitive hydrophytic
vegetation that will likely withstand the increased duration of saturation and ponding in
the winter and early spring. Dominant species include green ash, sycamore, boxelder,
elm, red maple, silky dogwood, privet, and sweet gum.
Herbaceous species currently include honeysuckle, poison ivy, microstegium, and others.
It is expected that with increased saturation some vegetation may suffer, such as
redcedar, tulip poplar, black cherry, eleagnus, privet, and other upland species. However
it is expected that willow, green ash, and other herbaceous species would succeed
naturally. Additional vegetation monitoring will be conducted following issuance of the
permit to determine the need for additional planting in the future to enhance the habitat
values.
At least one half of the vegetation will include plantings that benefit wildlife as a food
source. As part of the construction documents a list of specific plant species and
quantities will be prepared for approval by the USACE and the NCDWQ. The mitigation
site will be planted at an initial density of approximately 500 woody stems per acre
planted in a random pattern to match adjacent conditions if surrounding wetland areas
Herbaceous species will be planted at a rate of 1000 clusters per acre or will be seeded
when possible with a wetland seed mix which will result in a coverage of at least 100
stems per square meter upon germination. Survival rates of seeding versus individual
plants will be explored for each species selected based on availability, site specific data,
and cost factors. All new plantings will consist FACW and OBL species. Planting will be
conducted in the spring and the fall. Annual ryegrass or other annual vegetation will be
utilized in order to provide temporary stabilization during the summer and winter months
or until planting times become available. During planting wetlands and surface waters
will be protected from erosion and sedimentation. Control structures such as
sedimentation traps, siltation barriers, and/or at a minimum silt fence will be utilized as
necessary. Planting will be conducted in the spring and the fall. Annual ryegrass, Red
Top (Agrostis alba) or approved vegetation will be utilized in order to provide temporary
stabilization during the summer and winter months or until planting times become
available. Fescue shall not be used within the buffers or wetlands. Trees, shrubs, and
herbaceous plant materials will be selected from the following list.
Scrub/Shrub
Alnus serrulata.
Cornusamomum
Salix nigra
Betula nigra
Ilex decidua
Viburnum species
Cephalanthus occidentalis

Planting shall be in naturalistic / random clumps to encourage diversity. Specific plant
species, quantities, and size which will be utilized for the mitigation sites will be
dependent on availability, cost, time of year in which planting occurs, and number of
plants that can be successfully relocated.
Minimization
- Plans and overall scope of project modified to extent feasible.
- Wetlands, ponds, and creeks to remain within + 12 acres of natural areas
- Hydrology to existing wetlands to be maintained or enhanced to the extent
feasible
- Installation of wet detention ponds
- Strict adherence to an approved sedimentation control plan and other BMP's
management practices.
13
Mitigation
Enhancement of Wetland Area "A" and "D" with buffers and supplementing
hydrology.
Creation of wetland fringe and littoral area adjacent to the detention basin #2
Removal or blocking of ditches from Area "A" where feasible
VIII STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A Stormwater Management Plan will be designed and implemented for the project to
meet the 401 Water Quality Certification requirements. Stormwater runoff from paved
surfaces and landscaping has the potential to degrade water quality in all types of waters.
Wet detention basins shall be the primary treatment system. Properly designed wet
detention basins have been proven to be a viable solution to reduce pollution. They are
efficient in removing suspended solids and other pollutants, reducing peak runoff rates,
and controlling downstream erosion. There is also a potential aesthetic value if the pond's
can be designed into the overall plan.
Stormwater Management Plan Conceits
Stormwater management becomes necessary when increasing the impervious area within
an existing natural area. The impact of the increased runoff and reduction of natural
filtration will be analyzed with respect to the capacity and stability of natural channels
and the presence of environmentally sensitive areas. The pre and post-development
runoff will be determined and used as the basis of stormwater management techniques.
Special consideration will be given to avoiding erosion and degradation of
environmentally sensitive areas, wetlands, and surface waters.
The Stormwater Management Plan will include:
A. Wet Detention Basins that will attenuate 1.0 inch of rainfall over a 24 hour period for high density
sites including office, commercial and business uses.
B. Utilization of wetland mitigation areas where possible to increase filtration.
C. Riser outflow structures to maintain a pool and encourage filtration.
D. Directing runoff into natural areas and wetland/biofilters to treat runoff before entering surface
waters.
E. Maintaining natural and planted areas between the developments and
Jurisdictional Waters.
F. Development of a wetland littoral shelf where feasible in shallow areas.
The planners will utilize information and guidelines provided by the North Carolina
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources in developing the design of
wet detention basins.
14
Approximately eighty (80) acres will utilize constructed wet detention basins.
Stormwater treatment for the remaining area of the site, approximately twenty four (24)
will utilize Davis Lake. Davis Lake is a regional stormwater quality pond developed by
Guilford County.
IX. PLANS AND MONITORING
Detailed plans for the mitigation areas will be further articulated from the plans included
in this document. These plans will be submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and
the North Carolina Department of Water Quality for approval. Plans will include :
Site Preparation Requirements
Vegetation Requirements
Tracking and Monitoring Requirements
A monitoring program will be developed to monitor the mitigation areas to include:
Vegetation Parameters
Species Composition and Abundance
Survival
Growth
Monitoring of vegetation will be conducted on a semi-annual basis according to the
following general procedures.
A. Measure growth, species diversity, advise on removal of invasive species.
B. Establishment of a representative sample observation plots of at least 30' radius to
record the number and species of each surviving woody stem and the percent aerial cover
of the three most dominant species.
C. Within the 30' radius area a 10' radius area will be established to record the three
dominant herbaceous species.
D. Periodic site visits will be conducted for maintenance, aesthetic purposes, and
possible modifications to increase survival rates.
E. Field data will be recorded on a monitoring data form and submitted along with
representative photographs in a annual monitoring report. This will be submitted to the
Corps of Engineers, NC Division of Water Quality. At the end of the third year a report
will be prepared for review and to determine the need for future monitoring or
modifications.
15

W
Report*
Annual Progress Reports will be prepared which summarizes the data collected in the
field and notes trends. Photographs at fixed stations will be taken to document the trends
and changes occurring at the sites. These reports will be furnished to the USACE and the
NCDWQ. After the third year of monitoring, a summary report and as-builts will be
furnished to the USACE and the NCDWQ for review and discussion regarding
compliance of the project with conditions of the permit.
The data collected during the monitoring period will be utilized to evaluate the success of
the mitigation areas. The success criteria will be as follows:
Soil saturation within 12 inches of the surface for a minimum of
approximately 12 consecutive days during the early part of the growing season.
Establish at least one hydrology indicator per the 1987 USACE Wetland
Delineation Manual in the sample plot.
Establishment at least one hydric soil characteristic or match adjacent
riparian habitat surroundings.
not less than 60% survival rate for planted saplings or other planted
vegetation.
These vegetative, soil, and hydrological characteristics must be met to determine success
of the wetland mitigation.
If the mitigation is determined to be unsuccessful the following one or more of the
following contingency plans will be implemented.
1) Selected re-installation of vegetation, thinning, and/or acceptance
2) Hydrological modifications or manipulation
Schedule
Grading and installation of water control structures where applicable will be conducted
concurrently with project construction and is expected to begin in the fall and winter of
1996. Vegetation planting and installation is expected to be conducted in the dormant
season of November, 1997 to March, 1998 and spring for herbaceous materials.
Temporary crops in areas to be seeded may be required for interim periods.

IV
8.0 CONCLUSION
The 104 acre development will provide enormous economic benefits to the region. The
goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental
consequences of this intense development by restoring, creating, and enhancing
beneficial wetlands or riparian habitats, protecting and enhancing water quality, and
preserving the Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. remaining on the site. The undisturbed
wetland areas and the mitigation sites will be preserved by the applicant or by a group
designated by the owner for this purpose. The preserved areas will be managed as a
wetland system of high value.

DATE: October 23, 1996
SUBJECT; Section 401 C'crtification for MendenHall by Liberty Property Trust, Guilford
County, North Carolina. DWQ ID: 960956
Biologists with tho Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject document.
Our commonts are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33
U.S.C. 466 et Neq.).
Liberty Property Trust proposes to develop a business park on a 140-acre tract in Guilford
County. A total of 1.42 acres of wetlands will be impacted by this development. The applicant
has done a good job of describing existing wetlands, minimizing impacts and protecting
undisturbed wetlands. Protection of the high quality wetlands adjacent to Last Fork Deep River,
maintaining a 50 to 100-foot buffer zone around these wetlands and the stream channel and
development of stortnwater control structures that maintain hydrology will help protect water
quality in East Fork Deep River. Although we are pleased with the efforts by the applicant to
minimize impacts; it is not clear what acreage, will be restored to wetlands.
We have the following recommendations concerning this certification:
I . Place deed restrictions on the property to prevent future impacts to wetlands, including
mitigation areas by current or future owners.

MendenHall 2 October 23, 1996
Guilford Co 960956
2. Require additional mitigation of the applicant if the restoration ix not sufficient (i.e., does
not provide a 3.1 radio for the restoration portion of the mitigation).
3. It would be preferable to substitute an annual small grain for red top for tetnporary
stabilization.
4. Delete tag alder (41nus serrulata) from shrub planting list because it is a nitrogen fixer
and downstream areas are nutrient sensitive.
Delete honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthns), which provides little value to wildlife and
bald cypress ('I axodium dislichum), which is primarily a Coastal Plain species from the
bottomland hardwood plantings. Additionally, several oak species should be planted and
include representatives from both the white oak and red oak groups.
6. Success criteria for vegetation, especially trees and shrubs, should be based on a
representative survival of all species planted,
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this Section 401 Certification. If we cats
provide additional assistance, please contact me at (919) $28-9886 or Shari Bryant at (910) 449-
7625.
