Dear Mr. Phillips:
Re: Proposed Wal-Mart Facility
Mitchell County
DWQ # 980003
On February 12, 1998 the Division of Water Quality sent a letter stating your
project was on hold since we were waiting to hear from you and the Corps. To date, we
have not received any information regarding this project.
If we do not hear anything from you within two weeks of the date of this letter, we
will be forced to withdraw the project.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Phillips:
Subject: 401 Water Quality Certification
Proposed Wal-Mart Facility
Mitchell County
DWQ # 980003
On December 31, 1997, you wrote to the Division of Water Quality requesting a 401 Water
Quality Certification for your project to fill wetlands for construction of a Wal-Mart facility at Spruce Pine
in Mitchell County. The US Army Corps of Engineers has informed us that this project will require an
Individual Permit rather than a Nationwide Permit. We cannot continue to process your application until
the Corps begins the permitting process. Therefore I must hereby place this project on indefinite hold until
you and the US Army Corps of Engineers gather the necessary information to develop an acceptable
Individual permit application.
If you believe that this decision is in error, please contact me at 919-733-1786 to discus the matter.
S' cerely,

FYI, I talked with Dave Baker this morning about the proposed WalMart
site in Spruce Pine, DWO ID 980003, and he said the COE would not issue
a permit for the project as designed, and told the consultants that.
They apparently went ahead and submitted it anyway. It will need to
be redesigned and then go out as an IP. I'll not be commenting on this
one until it comes out, If it does, as an IP.
TRIAGE CHECKLIST
Project Name:

County:
The attached project has been sent to you for review for the following reasons. Please consider whet a
site visit is needed to determine the impacts. Particular attention should focus on the below checked it°_ ?s.
Please feel free to call the central office staff member assigned to your region if you need assistance.
Stream length impacted.
Stream determination (i.e. intermittent or perennial, or any channel present).
- Wetland impact and distance to blue-line surface waters on USGS topo map.
Minim ization/avoidance options.
NW 14. (is access to hiQhground or wetlands)?
Neuse buffer rules.
Pond (water) fill (i.e. is the pond drained or holding water)'?
Pond creation (i.e. in uplands, in a drained channel, or in wetlands). Please locate streams and
channels (if any) so that the central office can determine.
Mideation ratios.
Stormwater pond placed in wetlands.
Ditching in wetlands.
Is the applicant's proposed stream/wetland mitigation site available and viable?
Applicant/consultant has a history of non-compliance (check drawings and application for
accuracy).
Has project been split from previous work to avoid mitigation requirements?
- Consistent with pre-application meetings?
- Cumulative impact concerns. /l

Dear Mr. Baker and Mr. Domey:
NCDEHNR - DWQ
Attn: Mr. John Domey
4401 Reedy Creek Drive
Raleigh, NC 27607
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization for wetland impacts under Nationwide
Permits 14, 18 and 26 and their general 401 Water Quality Certification for the project known as
Walmart, Spruce Pine NC. The project, as proposed, impacts approximately 1680 linear feet of
channels, under all Nationwide Permits, totaling approximately 0.13 acres of Waters of the US.
Additionally, approximately 0.44 acres of fill will be required under Nationwide 26. The proposed
activity is located within Mitchell County and is within lands owned by Thomas Phillips. The
attached site plans and USGS topo quad show the location of the project.
Grassy Creek is considered to be perennial on the USGS topo quad and was field observed with
flow in October 1997. The developer proposes to cross this channel with Nationwide 14; the
crossing will be less than 150 feet wide.
All other channels were observed with flow during the field review for wetlands. No fish were
observed in these channels, they are not shown on the USGS topo quad, and the Low Flow
Characteristics of Streams in North Carolina states that streams with drainage areas of less than
0.5 square mile, in this region, generally have a low-flow statistical value below zero. The
drainage areas above the site is estimated to be less than 0.5 square mile (320 acres).
As assessed by the S&EC, the primary function of channels, outside of the flood plain of Grassy
Creek, is the conveyance of storm and base flow. Along these channels, no significant
"floodplains" are present and therefore flood storage and pollutant removal is assumed to be
minimal. No wetland areas are associated with either bank. We assess that permitting fills for
these channels will result in no loss of significant function.
"Ditches" were created within the floodplain of Grassy Creek to provide suitable drainage for
horse pasture. These ditches are likely relocated ephemeral channels. Horses have trampled
these ditches and created wetlands adjacent to the channel; these areas have pollutant removal
and storage functions.
The use of either NW 26 or NW 18 would require notification to NC DWQ. Therefore, the
developer has contacted an engineer to develop a stormwater management facility for the
project. At this time no mitigation (for DWQ Water Quality Certification) for lost channels is
proposed because impacts to channels with a fish community are less than 150 linear feet. The
developer has states that all practical minimization has been observed; wetlands south of the
site are avoided.
