BOX 1890 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 April 8, 1997 IN REPLY REFER TO Regulatory Branch Action ID No. 199702348 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated Waters) Mr. David Griffin Stanly County Airport Authority 40659 Airport Road New London, North Carolina 28127 Dear Mr. Griffin: Reference your February 5, 1997 application for Department of the Army (DA) authorization to impact approximately 0.56 acre of headwater stream channel and wetlands along Little Mountain Creek at the Stanly County airport located off of SR 1549, north of Palestine, in Stanly County, North Carolina. The purpose for the project is to facilitate the construction of a parallel taxiway which will be located adjacent to the eastern edge of the existing runway. For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, the "December 13, 1996 Federal Register, Final Notice of Issuance, Reissuance, and Modification of Nationwide Permits (61 CFR 65874)" listed nationwide permits. Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters provided that the activity meets all of the following criteria: a. The discharge does not cause the loss of more than three (3) acres of waters of the United States nor cause the loss of waters of the United States for a distance greater than 500 linear feet of a stream bed; b. For discharges causing the loss of greater than 1/3 acre of waters of the United States, the permittee notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general condition; C. For discharges causing the loss of 1/3 acre or less of waters of the United States, the permittee must submit a report within thirty (30) days of completion of the work, containing the following information: (1) Name, address, and telephone number of the permittee; (2) Location of work; (3) Description of the work; and, (4) Type and acreage (or square feet) of the loss of waters of the United States (e.g., 1/10 acre of marsh and 50 square feet of a stream) -2- d. For discharges in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include a delineation of affected special aquatic sites, including wetlands; and e. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part of a single and complete project. Whenever any other nationwide permit is used in conjunction with this nationwide permit, the total acreage of impacts to waters of the United States of all nationwide permits combined cannot exceed three (3) acres. Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided you receive a Section 401 water quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. You should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919) 733-1786, regarding water quality certification. This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local approval. This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit expires, which will occur on December 13, 1998. All activity under the terms and conditions of this nationwide permit must be completed before the permit expires. It is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the nationwide permits, which will be announced by public notice when they occur. We have evaluated potential impacts of your activity, and we have determined that your proposal will not likely have an adverse affect on any endangered species. When you have completed your work and any required mitigation, please sign and return the enclosed certification form. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Steve Chapin in our Asheville Regulatory Field office at (704) 271-4014. Sincerely, r? 2 Robert W. Johnson office Manager Asheville Regulatory Field Office Enclosure -3- Copies Furnished (without enclosure): Mr. John Dorney Division of Water Quality North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 Mr. James R. Stowers S&ME, Incorporated 9751 Southern Pine Boulevard Charlotte, North Carolina 28273 NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY WATER QUALITY SECTION a ai?E STORMWATER GROUP St,y ^ 1997 September 2, 1997 ;,SCIENCES MEMORANDUM TO: John Dorney FROM: Jeanette Poweff f. THROUGH: Bradley Bennett SUBJECT: Stanly County Airport Taxiway Project Stanly County DWQ#970106 The stormwater management plan designed by Talbert & Bright to treat runoff from the subject facility has been reviewed. Based upon the July 3, 1997 submittal of revised design calculations and plans, the stormwater management systems should perform as acceptable water quality control structures to treat runoff from the proposed taxiway project. Submitted design revisions specify a dry detention basin, grassed swale and vegetated filter strip on the south end of the project. This system will treat runoff from station 10+00 to 37+30. The revisions also include upgrading the existing sediment basin on the east side of the project to perform as an appropriately designed dry detention basin. Revised plans are attached for your convenience. cc: Mooresville Regional Office Central Files Talbert $- Bright, Inc. mow! Project MANLY 4:W JTY AlaPoiz-r 4400-H Morris Park [Drivee ?.

MATERIALS 901-2.1 SEED. The species and application rates of grass, legume, and cover-crop seed furnished shall be those stipulated herein. Seed shall conform to the requirements of Fed. Spec. JJJ-S-181. Seed shall be furnished separately or in mixtures in standard containers with the seed name, lot number, net weight, percentages of purity and of germination and hard seed, and percentage of maximum weed seed content clearly marked for each kind of seed. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer duplicate signed copies of a statement by the vendor certifying that each lot of seed has been tested by a recognized laboratory for seed testing within 6 months of date of delivery. This statement shall include: name and address of laboratory, date of test, lot number for each kind of seed, and the results of tests as to name, percentages of purity and of germination, and percentage of weed content for each kind of seed furnished, and, in case of a mixture, the proportions of each kind of seed. The seeding mixture shall have a maximum of 2'/2% of weed seed and a minimum of 90% by weight of pure live seed. The seed mixture shall consist of a blend of two turf type tall fescues (90% of blend) and two or more improved Kentucky bluegrass varieties (10% of blend). The seed mixture shall be applied at the rate of 250 pounds of mixture per acre of seeded area. The preferred seeding dates are August 20 to October 31 and February 1 to April 1. Use of this seeding mixture outside the preferred seeding dates shall be approved by the ENGINEER. If Contractor cannot seed for permanent cover, temporary seeding shall be used in accordance with requirements of Item P-156 of this specification. T-901-1 ".t • 3 901-2.2 LIME. Lime shall be ground limestone containing not less than 85% of total carbonates, and shall be ground to such fineness that 90% will pass through a No. 20 mesh sieve and 50% will pass through a No. 100 mesh sieve. Coarser material will be acceptable, providing the rates of application are increased to provide not less than the minimum quantities and depth specified in the special provisions on the basis of the two sieve requirements above. Dolomitic lime or a high magnesium lime shall contain at least 10% of magnesium oxide. Lime shall be applied at the rate of'4,000 pounds per acre. All liming materials shall conform to the requirements of ASTM C 602. 901-2.3 FERTILIZER. Fertilizer shall be standard commercial fertilizers supplied separately or in mixtures containing the percentages of total nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and water-soluble potash. They shall be applied at the rate and to the depth specified herein, and shall meet the requirements of Fed. Spec. 0-F-241 and applicable state laws. They shall be furnished in standard containers with name, weight, and guaranteed analysis of contents clearly marked thereon. No cyanamide compounds or hydrated lime shall be permitted in mixed fertilizers. The fertilizers may be supplied in one of the following forms: A. A dry, free-flowing fertilizer suitable for application by a common fertilizer spreader, B. A finely-ground fertilizer soluble in water, suitable for application by power sprayers; or C. A granular or pellet form suitable for application by blower equipment. Fertilizers shall be 10-10-10 commercial fertilizer and shall be spread at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre. 901-2.4 SOIL FOR REPAIRS. The soil for fill and topsoiling of areas to be repaired shall be at least of equal quality to that which exists in areas adjacent to the area to be repaired. The soil shall be relatively free from large stones, roots, stumps, or other materials that will interfere with subsequent sowing of seed, compacting, and establishing turf, and shall be approved by the ENGINEER before being placed. T-901-2 W CONSTRUCTION METHODS 901-3.1 ADVANCE PREPARATION AND CLEANUP. After grading of areas has been completed and before applying fertilizer and ground limestone, areas to be seeded shall be raked or otherwise cleared of stones larger than 2 inches in any diameter, sticks, stumps, and other debris which might interfere with sowing of seed, growth of grasses, or subsequent maintenance of grass-covered areas. If any damage by erosion or other causes has occurred after the completion of grading and before beginning the application of fertilizer and ground limestone, the Contractor shall repair such damage. This may include filling gullies, smoothing irregularities, and repairing other incidental damage. An area to be seeded shall be considered a satisfactory seedbed without additional treatment if it has recently been thoroughly loosened and worked to a depth of not less than 5 inches as a result of grading operations and, if immediately prior to seeding, the top 3 inches of soil is loose, friable, reasonably free from large clods, rocks, large roots, or other undesirable matter, and if shaped to the required grade. However, when the area to be seeded is sparsely sodded, weedy, barren and unworked, or packed and hard, any grass and weeds shall first be cut or otherwise satisfactorily disposed of, and the soil then scarified or otherwise loosened to a depth not less than 5 inches. Clods shall be broken and the top 3 inches of soil shall be worked into a satisfactory seedbed by discing, or by use of cultipackers, rollers, drags, harrows, or other appropriate means. 901-3.2 DRY APPLICATION METHOD. A. Liming. Lime shall be applied separately and prior to the application of any fertilizer or seed and only on seedbeds which have previously been prepared as described above. The lime shall then be worked into the top 3 inches of soil after which the seedbed shall again be properly graded and dressed to a smooth finish. B. Fertilizing. Following advance preparations and cleanup fertilizer shall be uniformly spread at the rate which will provide not less than the minimum quantity stated in paragraph 901-2.3. T-901-3 C. Seeding. Grass seed shall be sown at the rate specified in paragraph 901-2.1 immediately after fertilizing, and the fertilizer and seed shall be raked within the depth range stated in the special provisions. Seeds of legumes, either alone or in mixtures, shall be inoculated before mixing or sowing, in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of the inoculant. When seeding is required at other than the seasons shown on the plans or in the special provisions, a cover crop shall be sown by the same methods required for grass and legume seeding. D. Rolling. After the seed has been properly covered, the seedbed shall be immediately compacted by means of an approved lawnroller, weighing 40 to 65 pounds per foot of width for clay soil (or any soil having a tendency to pack), and weighing 150 to 200 pounds per foot of width for sandy or light soils. 901-3.3 WET APPLICATION METHOD. A. General. The Contractor may elect to apply seed and fertilizer (and lime, if required) by spraying them on the previously prepared seedbed in the form of an aqueous mixture and by using the methods and equipment described herein. The rates of application shall be as specified in the special provisions. B. Spraying Equipment. The spraying equipment shall have a container or water tank equipped with a liquid level gauge calibrated to read in increments not larger than 50 gallons over the entire range of the tank capacity, mounted so as to be visible to the nozzle operator. The container or tank shall also be equipped with a mechanical power-driven agitator capable of keeping all the solids in the mixture in complete suspension at all times until used. The unit shall also be equipped with a pressure pump capable of delivering 100 gallons per minute at a pressure of 100 pounds per square inch. The pump shall be mounted in a line which will recirculate the mixture through the tank whenever it is not being sprayed from the nozzle. All pump passages and pipe lines shall be capable of providing clearance for 5/8 inch solids. The power unit for the pump and agitator shall have controls mounted so as to be accessible to the nozzle operator. There shall be an indicating T-901-4 4 pressure gauge connected and mounted immediately at the back of the nozzle. The nozzle pipe shall be mounted on an elevated supporting stand in such a manner that it can be rotated through 360 degrees horizontally and inclined vertically from at least 20 degrees below to at least 60 degrees above the horizontal. There shall be a quick-acting, three-way control valve connecting the recirculating line to the nozzle pipe and mounted so that the nozzle operator can control and regulate the amount of flow of mixture delivered to the nozzle. At least three different types of nozzles shall be supplied so that mixtures may be properly sprayed over distance varying from 20 to 100 feet. One shall be a close-range ribbon nozzle, one a medium-range ribbon nozzle, and one a long-range jet nozzle. For case of removal and cleaning, all nozzles shall be connected to the nozzle pipe by means of quick-release couplings. In order to reach areas inaccessible to the regular equipment, an extension hose at least 50 feet in length shall be provided to which the nozzles may be connected. C. Mixtures. Lime, if required, shall be applied separately, in the quantity specified, prior to the fertilizing and seeding operations. Not more than 220 pounds of lime shall be added to and mixed with each 100 gallons of water. Seed and fertilizer shall be mixed together in the relative proportions specified, but not more than a total of 220 pounds of these combined solids shall be added to and mixed with each 100 gallons of water. All water used shall be obtained from fresh water sources and shall be free from injurious chemicals and other toxic substances harmful to plant life. Brackish water shall not be used at any time. The Contractor shall identify to the ENGINEER all sources of water at least 2 weeks prior to use. The ENGINEER may take samples of the water at the source or from the tank at any time and have a laboratory test the samples for chemical and saline content. The Contractor shall not use any water from any source which is disapproved by the ENGINEER following such tests. All mixtures shall be constantly agitated from the time they are mixed until they are finally applied to the seedbed. All such mixtures shall T-901-5 a a be used within 2 hours from the time they were mixed or they shall be wasted and disposed of at locations acceptable to the ENGINEER. D. Spraying. Lime, if required, shall be sprayed only upon previously prepared seedbeds. After the applied lime mixture has dried, the lime shall be worked into the top 3 inches, after which the seedbed shalt again be properly graded and dressed to a smooth finish. Mixtures of seed and fertilizer shall only be sprayed upon previously prepared seedbeds on which the lime, if required, shall already have been worked in. The mixtures shall be applied by means of a high-pressure spray which shall always be directed upward into the air so that the mixtures will fall to the ground like rain in a uniform spray. Nozzles or sprays shall never be directed toward the ground in such a manner as might produce erosion or runoff. Particular care shall be exercised to insure that the application is made uniformly and at the prescribed rate and to guard against misses and overlapped areas. Proper predetermined quantities of the mixture in accordance with specifications shall be used to cover specified sections of known area. Checks on the rate and uniformity of application may be made by observing the degree of wetting of the ground or by distributing test sheets of paper or pans over the area at intervals and observing the quantity of material deposited thereon. On surfaces which are to be mulched as indicated by the plans or designated by the ENGINEER, seed and fertilizer applied by the spray method need not be raked into the soil or rolled. However, on surfaces on which mulch is not to be used, the raking and rolling operations will be required after the soil has dried. 901-3.4 MAINTENANCE OF SEEDED AREAS. The Contractor shall protect seeded areas against traffic or other use by warning signs or barricades, as approved by the ENGINEER. Surfaces gullied or otherwise damaged following seeding shall be repaired by regrading and reseeding as directed. The Contractor shall mow, water as directed, and otherwise maintain seeded areas in a satisfactory condition until final inspection and acceptance of the work. After seeded area has been placed and tamped, it shall be carefully and thoroughly watered during the germination period or as directed by the T-901-6 • ::-- 0 • ENGINEER. Additional watering shall also be done as required until final acceptance. Application of water may be made by the use of hydraulic seeding equipment, farm type irrigation equipment, or by other acceptable means. It will be required that the Contractor establish a good stand of grass of uniform color and density to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER. If at the time when the contract has been otherwise completed it is not possible to make 'A. an adequate determination of the color, density, and uniformity of such stand of grass, payment for the unaccepted portions of the areas seeded out of season will be withheld until such time as these requirements have been met. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT 901-4.1 The quantity of seeding to be paid for shall be the number of acres measured on the ground surface, completed and accepted. BASIS OF PAYMENT 901-5.1 Payment shall be made at the contract unit price per acre or fraction thereof, which price and payment shall be full compensation for furnishing and placing all material and for all labor, equipment, tools, watering, and incidentals necessary to complete the work prescribed in this item. Payment will be made under: Item 901-5.1.1 Seeding--per acre MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS ASTM D 977 Fed. Spec. JJJ-S-181 B Fed. Spec. 0-F-241 D Emulsified Asphalt Agricultural Seeds Commercial Mixed Fertilizer END OF ITEM T-901 T-901-7 ITEM T-908 MULCHING DESCRIPTION 908-1.1 This item shall consist of furnishing, hauling, placing, and securing mulch on surfaces indicated on . the plans or designated by the ENGINEER. MATERIALS 908-2.1 MULCH MATERIAL. Acceptable mulch shall be the materials listed below or any approved locally available material that is similar to those specified. Low grade, musty, spoiled, partially rotted hay, straw, or other materials unfit for animal consumption will be acceptable. Mulch materials, which contain matured seed of species which would volunteer and be detrimental to the proposed overseeding, or to surrounding farm land, will not be acceptable. Straw or other mulch material which is fresh and/or excessively brittle, or which is in. such an advanced stage of decomposition as to smother or retard the planted grass, will not be acceptable. A. Hay. Hay shall be native hay, sudan grass hay, broomsedge hay, legume hay, or similar hay or grass clippings. B. Straw. Straw shall be the threshed plant residue of oats, wheat, barley, rye, or rice from which grain has been removed. C. Hay Mulch Containing Seed. Hay mulch shall be mature hay containing viable seed.of native grasses or other desirable species stated in the special provisions or as approved by the ENGINEER. The hay shall be cut and handled so as to preserve the maximum quantity of viable seed. Hay mulch which cannot be hauled and spread immediately after cutting shall be placed in weather-resistant stacks or baled and stored in a dry location until used. D. Manufactured Mulch. Cellulose-fiber or wood-pulp mulch shall be products commercially available for use in spray applications. T-908-1 E. Asphalt Binder. Asphalt binder material shall conform to the requirements of ASTM D 977, Type SS-1 or RS-1. 908-2.2 INSPECTION. Within 5 days after acceptance of the bid, the ENGINEER shall be notified of sources and quantities of mulch materials available and the Contractor shall furnish him with representative samples of the materials to be used. These samples may be used as standards with the approval of the ENGINEER and any materials brought on the site which do not meet these standards shall be rejected. CONSTRUCTION METHODS 908-3.1 MULCHING. Before spreading mulch, all large clods, stumps, stones, brush, roots, and other foreign material shall be removed from the area to be mulched. Mulch shall be applied immediately after seeding. The spreading of the mulch may be by hand methods, blower, or other mechanical methods, provided a uniform covering is obtained. Mulch material shall be furnished, hauled, and evenly applied on the area shown on the plans or designated by the ENGINEER. Straw or hay shall be spread over the surface to a uniform thickness at the rate of 2 to 3 tons per acre to provide a loose depth of not less than 1-1/2 inches nor more than 3 inches. Other organic material shall be spread at the rate directed by the ENGINEER. Mulch may be blown on the slopes and the use of cutters in the equipment for this purpose will be permitted to the extent that at least 95% of the mulch in place on the slope shall be 6 inches or more in length. When mulches applied by the blowing method are cut, the loose depth in place shall be not less'than 1 inch nor more than 2 inches. 908-3.2 SECURING MULCH. The mulch shall be held in place by light discing, a very thin covering of topsoil, small brush, pins, stakes, wire mesh, asphalt binder, or other adhesive material approved by the ENGINEER. Where mulches have been secured by either of the asphalt binder methods, it will not be permissible to walk on the slopes after the binder has been applied. The Contractor is warned that in the application of asphalt binder material he must take every precaution to guard against damaging or disfiguring structures or property on or adjacent to the areas worked and that he will be held responsible for any such damage resulting from his/her operations. T-908-2 A If the ' 'peg and string" method is used, the mulch shall be secured by the use of stakes or wire pins driven into the ground on 5-foot centers or less. Binder twine shall be strung between adjacent stakes in straight lines and crisscrossed diagonally over the mulch, after which the stakes shall be firmly driven nearly flush to the ground to draw the twine down tight onto the mulch. 908-3.3 CARE AND REPAIR. A. The Contractor shall care for the mulched areas until final acceptance of the project. Such care shall consist of providing protection against traffic or other use by placing warning signs, as approved by the ENGINEER, and erecting any barricades that may be shown on the plans before or immediately after mulching has been completed on the designated areas. B. The Contractor shall be required to repair or replace any mulching that is defective or becomes damaged until the project is finally accepted. When, in the judgment of the ENGINEER, such defects or damages are the result of poor workmanship or failure to meet the requirements of the specifications, the cost of the necessary repairs or replacement shall be borne by the Contractor. However, once the Contractor has completed the mulching of any area in accordance with the provisions of the specifications and to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER, no additional work at his/her expense will be required, but subsequent repairs and replacements deemed necessary by the ENGINEER shall be made by the Contractor and will be paid for as additional or extra work. C. If the ' 'asphalt spray" method is used, all mulched surfaces shall be sprayed with asphalt binder material so that the surface has a uniform appearance. The binder shall be uniformly applied to the mulch at the rate of approximately 8.0 gallons per 1,000 square feet, or as directed by the ENGINEER, with a minimum of 6.0 gallons and a maximum of 10 gallons per 1,000 square feet depending on the type of mulch and the effectiveness of the binder securing it. Bituminous binder material may be sprayed on the mulched slope areas from either the top or the bottom of the slope. An approved spray nozzle shall be used. The nozzle shall be operated at a distance of not less than 4 feet from the surface T-908-3 #,W ...W of the mulch and uniform distribution of the bituminous material shall be required. A pump or an air compressor of adequate capacity shall be used to insure uniform distribution of the bituminous material. D. If the "asphalt mix" method is used, the mulch shall be applied by blowing, and the asphalt binder material shall be sprayed into the mulch as it leaves the blower. The binder shall be uniformly applied to the mulch at the rate of approximately 8.0 gallons per 1,000 square feet or as directed by the ENGINEER, with a minimum of 6.0 gallons and a maximum of 10 gallons per 1,000 square feet depending on the type of mulch and the effectiveness of the binder securing it. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT 908-4.1 Mulching shall be measured in acres on the basis of the actual surface area acceptably mulched. BASIS OF PAYMENT 908-5.1 Payment will be made at the contract unit price per acre for mulching. The price shall be full compensation for furnishing all materials and for placing and anchoring the materials, and for all labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the item. Payment will be made under: Item T-908-5.1.1 Mulching--per acre MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS ASTM D 977 Emulsified Asphalt END ITEM T-908 T-908-4 Note for Eric Galamb From: Ron Ferrell on Tue, Apr 15, 1997 6:09 PM Subject: Albemarle Airport To: Eric Galamb I received your fax and I assume your question is in regards to payment into the fund for the stream impacts. If the only reason they are doing the stream mitigation is the 401 then we can accept their $$ after May 6. If the COE is also requiring the stream mitigation they may or may not accept the payment. We do not have a MOA at this time, hopefully soon. I will talk with Budget to find out how the checks should be made out, etc. There is also the bigger issue of when/if the stream restoration will take place if they pay into the fund. My preference is that after we evaluate the needs of the area, a project is developed to address this and other impacts, which may or may not include stream restoration. In other words if the needs assessment indicate a need for improved trout habitat, how could we best improve the trout habitat, through stream restoration,' riparian or weland restoration, or combination of above.

Stanley County L XAWO \J Dear Mr. Griffin: The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plants for the discharge of fill material into 0.56 acres of waters and/or wetlands located at the existing Stanley County Airport expansion. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses which would be removed by this project. These uses are aquatic life in Little Mountain Creek. Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, we are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e). Until we receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the N.C. Division of Coastal Management place your project on administrative hold. Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters and/or wetlands. A revised plan removing the rip rap from the stream substrate and a map with reduced wetland impacts (0.21 acres to be removed). Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can supply to address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification. Also this project will require compensatory mitigation as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h). Your stream mitigation proposal is insufficient because the application lacks one At least 125 feet of stream mitigation (similar size to Little Mountain Creek) will be needed to satisfy DWQ. Two copies of a stormwater plan will need to be submitted to us. These plans should have provisions for wet detention basins. Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to me and one -copy to Mr. Samir Bou-Ghazale at the Mooresville Regional Office at 919 North Main Street, Mooresville NC 28115.

The first item is the removal of rip rap from the Little Mountain Creek Relocation. This has been removed from the plans, and will be addressed in an Addendum. The second item was to either design a 125 foot stream mitigation plan; or purchase into the Wetland Restoration Program. If a stream mitigation plan is designed, we will coordinate this effort with your office for your approval. It is our understanding that if the Stanly County Airport Authority pays $15;625 to the Wetland Restoration Program, we will not be required to mitigate for this project. The final item is to prepare a stormwater plan for approval by Mr. Bradley Bennett with the Storniwater Division. As of this date, Talbert & Bright is currently working with Mr. Bennett on obtaining his approval. The contract for the construction of this project will not be executed until the stormwater plan is approved. If you should have any questions, regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Thank' you in advance for your cooperation. Si David M. Gri n Director cc: Talbert & Bright, Inc.

The purpose of this assessment was to identify wetlands in the vicinity of the proposed parallel taxiway to be constructed along the eastern edge of the existing runway. The opinions included herein are based on the information obtained during the study and our professional experience. The report is based on the observations made on the dates noted and using the procedures described herein. If additional information becomes available, we request the opportunity to review the information, reassess the potential environmental concerns and modify our conclusions and recommendations, if appropriate. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The parallel taxiway site consists of approximately 60 acres of undeveloped land located on the eastern side of the existing runway. The surface topography of the area appears to slope to the northeast toward Little Mountain Creek located on the northern portion of the site. The wooded areas of the site consist of primarily hardwood. Dominant plant species at the site include: Black Willow (Salix nigra), Brookside Alder (Alnus Serrulata), Tree Groundsel (Baccharis glomerulifora), Wool-Grass (Scirpus cyperinus), Soft Rush (Juncus effusus), Nodding Beakrush (Rhynchospora inexpansa), Poorland Flatsedge (Cyperus compressus), and Common Cattail (Typha latifolia). Stanly County Airport SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES At the request of Talbert & Bright, S&ME, Inc. performed a wetland delineation and assessment of the subject site. The scope of services included the following: 1. Field delineation and documentation of all areas of waters of the United States located at the site. 2. Verification of wetland/upland boundaries with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). 2 Stanly County Airport Wetland Delineation 4.0 WETLAND ASSESSMENT Procedures SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 February 3, 1997 An on-site reconnaissance of the property was completed on January 13, 1996 by Jim Stowers and Lanny Lowery of S&ME, Inc. During the site visit, all areas which would be considered as waters of the United States were identified and the wetland/upland boundary was marked with individual flags. The areas of jurisdiction were identified using the currently accepted interim methods of wetland determination described in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Identifying and Delineating Wetland Areas. These methods are detailed as follows: The present methodology for determining the specific location of the wetland jurisdiction line is presented in the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineation Wetlands (Reed, 1988). This methodology was adopted by the federal agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conversation Service (SCS) to provide a concurrent definition of wetlands. The 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual states that under normal circumstances, an area must demonstrate the presence of three components to be declared jurisdictional wetlands: 1) hydrophytic vegetation, 2) hydrology, and 3) hydric soils. Vegetation: The list on hydrophytic (wetland) plants is very broad and includes perhaps 90 percent of all species occurring in the coastal plain and lower Piedmont (National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Reed, 1988). The 1987 manual states that if greater than 51% of the dominant vegetation within the community is facultative (FAC), facultative 3 Stanly County Airport Wetland Delineation SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 February 3, 1997 wet (FACW), or obligate (OBL), the vegetation community is considered hydrophytic. Hydrology: Traditionally, wetlands are thought to require standing water or at least have very moist soil conditions at the surface. The hydrologic criteria includes evidence of floods such as water lines on trees, drift lines, buttressed bases on trees, crayfish burrows, etc., but this criteria can also be met by a high groundwater table. Generally, the determining factor of minimal hydrologic conditions is met by groundwater and not surface water with this federal wetland definition. Hydric Soils: The third requirement for a determination of jurisdiction is hydric soils. Prolonged standing water obviously implies that the underlying soils are hydric (wet). High water tables can cause the soils to be hydric within the requirement for standing water; however, the presence of the hydric soil component does not necessarily demonstrate the presence of the hydrology component. Positive indicators of hydrology must be visible and confirmed before the hydrology component can be confirmed. 4 Stanly County Airport SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 5.0 DELINEATION SURVEY RESULTS Results of the field delineation of wetlands may be seen on the attached topographic survey of the property with the estimated wetland/upland boundary marked. The majority of the wetlands identified were limited primarily to the northern side of the existing terminal. The designated wetland areas consist of: that portion of Little Mountain Creek located near the northern edge of the site ("waters of the U.S."); and one drainage feature located to the south of the creek. In addition, a small drainage feature was located to the south of Runway #4 (Refer to Sheet 1). The wetland areas identified supported facultative (FAC), facultative-wet (FAMN), and obligate (OBL) plant species. Hydrology indicators included standing water, water marks, and water-stained leaves. The soils in the drainage feature located to the south of the creek were observed to be hydric at a depth of approximately four inches below the surface. 5 Stanly County Airport S&ME Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 6.0 CONCLUSIONS Federal Regulatory Authority The Corps of Engineers generally issues two types of permits, Nationwide Permits and Individual Permits. A Nationwide Permit (33 CFR Part 330.6 (13)(26) or NWP 26) allows the filling or adverse impact of up to one-third acre of headwater (has an average annual flow of less than 5 cfs) and/or isolated wetlands. A Nationwide Permit may also allow the filling or adverse impact of between one-third (1 /3) and three (3) acres of these types of wetlands provided the applicant notify the District Engineer in accordance with 33 CFR Part 330.6 (C), also termed a "Pre-discharge Notification." This site contains a total wetland area of 0.73 acres. Approximately 0.56 acre of these wetlands are proposed for development. As a result, federal wetland permitting for this property will apply. North Carolina State Regulatory Authority The State of North Carolina has denied a blanket waiver of water quality certification for NWP 26 and requires that an individual 401 certification be obtained from the state Division of Water Quality. Generally, all proposed projects that impact more than 0.33 acres of headwater and/or isolated wetlands, such as this site, require notification prior to impact. 6 Stanly County Airport Wetland Delineation 7.0 SUMMARY SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 February 3, 1997 A jurisdictional wetland delineation was performed for the Stanly County Airport in New London, North Carolina on January 13, 1997 in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and USACOE/USEPA regulations. Wetlands were identified and boundaries delineated according to 1987 USACOE methods. The wetland area was limited to: that portion of Little Mountain Creek located near the northern edge of the site ("waters of the U.S."); and one drainage feature located to the south of the creek. In addition a small drainage feature was located to the south of Runway #4. Wetlands on the property were estimated to account for a total of 0.73 acres. The remainder of the property was considered non-wetland due to the presence of non-hydrophytic vegetation and non-hydric soils. 7 DATA FORM ROUTINE WETLAND DETERMINATION (1987 COE Wetlands Delineation Manual) Project/Site: Wetland Delineation - Stanly County Airport Date: 1/13/97 Applicant/Owner: Stanly County County: Stanly Investigator: S&ME - Jim Stowers State: NC Do Normal Circumstances exist on the Site?

Howes, Secretary ED E H N F1 A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director March 27, 1997 Mr. David Griffin Stanley County Airport 40659 Airport Road WQC #970106 Stanley County Dear Mr. Griffin: The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.56 acres of waters and/or wetlands located at the existing Stanley County Airport expansion. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses which would be removed by this project. These uses are aquatic life in Little Mountain Creek. Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, we are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e). Until we receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the N.C. Division of Coastal Management place your project on administrative hold. Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters and/or wetlands. A revised plan removing the rip rap from the stream substrate and a map with reduced wetland impacts (0.21 acres to be removed). Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can supply to address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification. Also this project will require compensatory mitigation as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h). Your stream mitigation proposal is insufficient because the application lacks one At least 125 feet of stream mitigation (similar size to Little Mountain Creek) will be needed to satisfy DWQ. Two copies of a stormwater plan will need to be submitted to us. These plans should have provisions for wet detention basins. Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to me and one copy to Mr. Samir Bou-Ghazale at the Mooresville Regional Office at 919 North Main Street, Mooresville NC 28115. If we do not hear from you in two weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. I can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions. Sincerely, ice/ Z?y-`"?h"?

Anderson, dmont Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program pate April 2,1997 Subject: 401 Water Quality Certification for Stanly County Airport Authority, Little Mountain Creek, Yadkin-Pee Dee River, Stanley County, DWQ 970106 Staff biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subioct project. Our comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stet. 401, as amended,, 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and Section 401(b) of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended). We have reviewed the application for certification to $110.056 acres of wetlands and to culvert u section of Little Mountain Creek for the construction of a runway at the airport. Specimens of Villosa vaughaniana, the Carolina creekshell, were found in Little Mountain Creek upstream from the Stanly County Airport by NCWRC biologists in July 1995. 'Ibis freshwater mussel is a state-listed special concern species that is now found only hi a few locations in North Caroling. The wetlands on this site are important to protection of aquatic habitat in Little Mountain Creek. We have the following recommendations and comments concerning this application: I . Require that stormwater from the airport impervious surfaces be routed to a wet detention pond prior to discharge to surface waters. Stormwater from refueling areas should be routed to oil/water separators prior to discharge. 2. Require mitigation in the Little Mountain Creek subbasin for the culvurtcd stream, section and the lost wetlands. 3. Where the trees will not interfere with flight operations, a minimum 140-foot forested buffer should be maintained along Little Mountain Creek. Along the sections that must remain free or trees, low growing shrubs along the creek bank are recommended to help maintain bank stability and provide canopy over the stream. Thank you for the opportunity to comment dining the planning stages for this project. If 1 can be of further assistance, contact me at (919) 528-9886.

After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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 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 and any additional conditions listed below. To compensate for the cumulative stream impacts, you are required to purchase stream credits for 125 linear feet by 30 May 1997 as you proposed in your 9 April 1997 correspondence and confirmed by Mr. Brian Salyers to Mr. Eric Galamb on 18 April 1997. Furthermore, a stormwater plan will need to be approved by Mr. Bradley Bennett prior to impacting the wetlands or stream. 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 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General 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.

The purpose of this assessment was to identify wetlands in the vicinity of the proposed parallel taxiway to be constructed along the eastern edge of the existing runway. The opinions included herein are based on the information obtained during the study and our professional experience. The report is based on the observations made on the dates noted and using the procedures described herein. If additional information becomes available, we request the opportunity to review the information, reassess the potential environmental concerns and modify our conclusions and recommendations, if appropriate. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The parallel taxiway site consists of approximately 60 acres of undeveloped land located on the eastern side of the existing runway. The surface topography of the area appears to slope to the northeast toward Little Mountain Creek located on the northern portion of the site. The wooded areas of the site consist of primarily hardwood. Dominant plant species at the site include: Black Willow (Salix nigra), Brookside Alder (Alnus Serrulata), Tree Groundsel (Baccharis glomerulifora), Wool-Grass (Scirpus cyperinus), Soft Rush (Juncus effusus), Nodding Beakrush (Rhynchospora inexpansa), Poorland Flatsedge (Cyperus compressus), and Common Cattail (Typha latifolia). Stanly County Airport S&ME Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES At the request of Talbert & Bright, S&ME, Inc. performed a wetland delineation and assessment of the subject site. The scope of services included the following: 1. Field delineation and documentation of all areas of waters of the United States located at the site. 2. Verification of wetland/upland boundaries with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). 2 Stanly County Airport S&ME Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 4.0 WETLAND ASSESSMENT Procedures An on-site reconnaissance of the property was completed on January 13, 1996 by Jim Stowers and Lanny Lowery of S&ME, Inc. During the site visit, all areas which would be considered as waters of the United States were identified and -the wetland/upland boundary was marked with individual flags. The areas of jurisdiction were identified using the currently accepted interim methods of wetland determination described in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Identifying and Delineating Wetland Areas. These methods are detailed as follows: The present methodology for determining the specific. location of the wetland jurisdiction line is presented in the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineation Wetlands (Reed, 1988). This methodology was adopted by the federal agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conversation Service (SCS) to provide a concurrent definition of wetlands. The 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual states that under normal circumstances, an area must demonstrate the presence of three components to be declared jurisdictional wetlands: 1) hydrophytic vegetation, 2) hydrology, and 3) hydric soils. Vegetation: The list on hydrophytic (wetland) plants is very broad and includes perhaps 90 percent of all species occurring in the coastal plain and lower Piedmont (National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Reed, 1988). The 1987 manual states that if greater than 51% of the dominant vegetation within the community is facultative (FAC), facultative 3 Stanly County Airport SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 wet (FACW), or obligate (OBL), the vegetation community is considered hydrophytic. Hydrology: Traditionally, wetlands are thought to require standing water or at least have very moist soil conditions at the surface. The hydrologic criteria includes evidence of floods such as water lines on trees, drift lines, buttressed bases on trees, crayfish burrows, etc., but this criteria can also be met by a high groundwater table. Generally, the determining factor of minimal hydrologic conditions is met by groundwater and not surface water with this federal wetland definition. Hydric Soils: The third requirement for a determination of jurisdiction is hydric soils. Prolonged standing water obviously implies that the underlying soils are hydric (wet). High water tables can cause the soils to be hydric within the requirement for standing water; however, the presence of the hydric soil component does not necessarily demonstrate the presence of the hydrology component. Positive indicators of hydrology must be visible and confirmed before the hydrology component can be confirmed. 4 Stanly County Airport SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 5.0 DELINEATION SURVEY RESULTS Results of the field delineation of wetlands may be seen on the attached topographic survey of the property with the estimated wetland/upland boundary marked. The majority of the wetlands identified were limited primarily to the northern side of the existing terminal. The designated wetland areas consist of: that portion of Little Mountain Creek located near the northern edge of the site ("waters of the U.S."); and one drainage feature located to the south of the creek. In addition, a small drainage feature was located to the south of Runway #4 (Refer to Sheet 1). The wetland areas identified supported facultative (FAC), facultative-wet (FACW), and obligate (OBL) plant species. Hydrology indicators included standing water, water marks, and water-stained leaves. The soils in the drainage feature located to the south of the creek were observed to be hydric at a depth of approximately four inches below the surface. 5 Stanly County Airport S&ME Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 6.0 CONCLUSIONS Federal Regulatory Authority The Corps of Engineers generally issues two types of permits, Nationwide Permits and Individual Permits. A Nationwide Permit (33 CFR Part 330.6 (B)(26) or NWP 26) allows the filling or adverse impact of up to one-third acre of headwater (has an average annual flow of less than 5 cfs) and/or isolated wetlands. A Nationwide Permit may also allow the filling or adverse impact of between one-third (1/3) and three (3) acres of these types of wetlands provided the applicant notify the District Engineer in accordance with 33 CFR Part 330.6 (C), also termed a "Pre-discharge Notification." This site contains a total wetland area of 0.73 acres. Approximately 0.56 acre of these wetlands are proposed for development. As a result, federal wetland permitting for this property will apply. North Carolina State Regulatory Authority The State of North Carolina has denied a blanket waiver of water quality certification for NWP 26 , and requires that an individual 401 certification be obtained from the state Division of Water Quality. Generally, all proposed projects that impact more than 0.33 acres of headwater and/or isolated wetlands, such as this site, require notification prior to impact. 6 Stanly County Airport SWE Project No. 1354-96-865 Wetland Delineation February 3, 1997 7.0 SUMMARY A jurisdictional wetland delineation was performed for the Stanly County Airport in New London, North Carolina on January 13, 1997 in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and USACOE/USEPA regulations. Wetlands were identified and boundaries delineated according to 1987 USACOE methods. The wetland area was limited to: that portion of Little Mountain Creek located near the northern edge of the site ("waters of the U.S."); and one drainage feature located to the south of the creek. In addition a small drainage feature was located to the south of Runway #4. Wetlands on the property were estimated to account for a total of 0.73 acres. The remainder of the property was considered non-wetland due to the presence of non-hydrophytic vegetation and non-hydric soils. 7 DATA FORM ROUTINE WETLAND DETERMINATION (1987 COE Wetlands Delineation Manual) Project/Site: Wetland Delineation - Stanly County Airport Date: 1/13/97 Applicant/Owner: Stanly County Investigator: S&ME - Jim Stowers County: Stanly State: NC Do Normal Circumstances exist on the Site?
