LONG CREEK. CHALLENGER III
STREAM MITIGATION PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Developers of Long Creek / Deer Run, Shelby, NC (Developer) proposes this
mitigation plan to satisfy a mitigation requirement for impacts to Long Creek and its
unnamed tributary. The plan, as outlined within this document, serves as initial guidance
for the proposed mitigation; the final work will be shown in the As-Built Plan.
Mitigation will be...
• at a one to one ratio for 476 linear feet
• primarily restoration, then enhancement for water quality and wildlife / fisheries, then
creation: For the COE only, littoral areas will be graded in the large pond.
• commenced (physical istallation) within one year of the issuance of the appropriate
permit.
• Conceptually, at places shown on the attached maps and where needed.
' The restoration of channels for this project will have oversight by the Developer's
Environmental Consultant and Engineer to review the scope of the mitigation and the
' functionality of any proposed project alterations, if necessary.
Water quality protection and fisheries habitat will be afforded by the restoration of a semi-
vegetated channel with hard and soft features consistent with natural channels within the
project area. The success and progress of the project will be quantified over a period of ?6( 0 l
five years with reports periodically furnished to DWQ and the COE. Mitigation success
will be measured in terms of herbaceous coverage and woody plant survival. Plant
material that is to be added to the site will be suited for the soils and final hydrology and
will be derived from local sources. Hydrology at the mitigation site is assumed as no
' creation is proposed.
t Long-term protection of the site will be through a permanent conservation easement.
t INTRODUCTION:
Mitigative activities will occur within a deeply incised scoured channel of Long Creek that
conveys base and storm water through old agricultural areas that will be converting to
' residential development. Historic channel flows and adjacent land use practices have
resulted in a highly degraded channel. The restored channel will provide a suitable
hydrology for wetland vegetation and improved habitat for native fishes.

One level of stream restoration will be deemed successful upon the establishment of a
plant propogule base similar to lost historic channels. This ecosystem when mature will be

comprised of a herbaceous layer, shrub layer and a tree canopy. Plantings, as needed and
proposed, are described in more detail in the attached planting plan.
The second level of stream restoration will be deemed successful upon the maintenance of
the existing macro fauna community. Benthic macroinvertabrates will be sampled to
ensure water quality is not further degraded. Sample techniques will be consistent with
the state Benthic Macroinvertabrate Ambient Network (BMAN) prodecures.
The establishment of a wetland plant propogule base within base of the proposed channel
will assist in water quality protection by enhancing channel stability and improving
pollutant removal.
No endangered species, archeological resources, or hazardous waste sites will be impacted
by this effort.
Additionally, the COE is requiring the grading of Littoral Areas around ponds.
INIPACT SITE:
The impact site is located in Shelby, Cleveland County, North Carolina, between New
Prospect Chruch Road and Airelee Road, and entirely in the Long Creek drainage basin;
as shown on the attached Site Vicinity May .
The impact site is channel that has been conveying base and storm water flow for many
years. Severe accumulation of sediments is evident in some reaches and vertical side-
slopes are found elsewhere.

The hydrology of the impact site is derived from the drainage basin within which the site is
located. Groundwater accounts for base flow. The site is not anticipated to experience
low or no flow periods.
The impact site is within an urban setting an adjacent to residential development and has
open areas in the canopy thereby increasing herbaceous diversity. Steep banks are
vegetated with upland species. Wetland vegetation at the impact site consists of the
species listed below which are found within flat areas of the channel.

MITIGATION SITE:
The proposed restoration channel is located on Long Creek and is essentially a channel
through high-ground. No portion of the proposed restoration channel is through a
jurisdictional wetland. Base flow hydrology in the mitigation area is not anticipated to be
altered. Storm flow within the mitigation area requires that channel banks be stabilized.
The restored channel will be constructed with 2 to 1, or shallower, side slopes (horizontal
to vertical) consistent with natural channels. Restoration will have to be consistent with
laws governing: erosion and sediment control, easement acquisition, and impeding flow.
The slope of the channel will be consistent with native natural channel. Side-slopes will be
stabilized with root-wads, geotextiles, plant material or other suitable material. Habitat
will be provided by root-wads. Plant material can be added to the side slopes within open
areas of the stabilizing material. Channel bed will be stabilized at existing nick-points.
The attached schematics illustrate the approximate horizontal and vertical design of the
channel.

Channel restoration is shown in the attached details. They show cross-section of
restoration channels and offer some potential treatment methods. The stream habitat
improvement details show the proposed method of creating a pool complex where the
restoration detail shows bank stabilization techniques that can be employed according to
site specific conditions. Locations of proposed structures are shown on the attached
maps; final locations of structures will be shown inn the As-built plans.
The attached map shows locations of proposed treatments; final locations will be shown
on maps included within the As-built Plans.
MITIGATION GOALS AND FUNCTION:
The primary goal is to create a self-sustaining plant propogule base within the area
identified on the attached Mitigation Site Mau.
The overall goal is to create a plant propagule base to stabilize channel bed and bank,
create fisheries habitat, and to encourage in-fill of local, wetland native plant species in
response to the existing hydrology. Plant material will be introduced to wetlands within
the channel at the site as needed (See Appendix 1: Planting Specifications and Plan).
Propagules from those plants along with existing on-site propagules will be relied on for
generation of the wetland plant community.
The intent of this mitigation is to create functional stream values within the mitigation site
to levels similar to, or greater than, the original values in the impact site. Additional
functional value is sought through the diversity of wetland types to be enhanced. Some of
the functional values of the target stream will be; 1) bank stabilization, 2) flood and
stormwater control, 3)wildhfe and aquatic life habitat, and 4) educational value of the
creation process.
The site will be designed to interface with the existing, adjacent agricultural and proposed
residential golf upland plant communities. Specific details pertaining to the design and
development of the mitigation site are described in the section titled MITIGATION
SEQUENCE: and Appendix 1: Planting Specifications and Plan.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
Success will be realized when 75% herbaceous coverage is attained and 75 % of woody
wetland plants have survived for five years. The herbaceous cover must be comprised of
at least three of the introduced or volunteer species. The estimated schedule for achieving
75% coverage is by the third growing season, however, the site will be monitored until
success is achieved. Woody plant survival is defined as the percent of material alive based
on the planting spacing (i.e. 3' x 3'- forbes spp. and 6'x 6' -shrub spp.), or volunteers within
that area. At least 50% of the vegetation must be FACW or OBL.

' LONG CREEK, CHALLENGER III
STREAM MITIGATION PLAN
' If after the second growing season coverage is significantly lower than what is expected in
a normal progression necessary to reach 75% by the end of the third season (<1/3
' coverage), a plan to rectify the situation will be prepared and submitted to WRP, 'COE and
DWQ within 30 days of inspection. Coverage of less than 25% after the first year and/or
less than 50% after the third year, and /or 75% after the fifth year will require a
' contingency plan. The contingency plan will be submitted to the DWQ and COE for
approval. Contingency plans may include soil amendments, re-designed hard structure, re-
planting and / or removal of weedy species. Success monitoring for herbaceous plants will
' terminate upon establishment of 75% coverage by FACW and OBL species regardless of
growing season.
' Measurement of the success of the mitigation project will be relative to functional values.
Enhancement of bank stabilization, flow control, pollutant removal, wildlife habitat, and
educational aspects of the site may be assumed through successful revegetation with
' wetland plants. Additionally, the functional value as a dispersal corridor may be assumed
once the plant community interfaces with adjacent native plant communities.
' Benthic macroinvertabrate populations will be monitored at two stations for five years r/
(including pre and post disturbance) and reports will be furnished to DWQ. Monitoring
' will occur annually in coordination with vegetation monitoring.
COMPONENTS OF THE MITIGATION SITE:
' Vegetation:
Plant material is proposed to be added to the base of the channel, and side slopes until it
' has reached equilibrium (approximately two growing seasons after the site has been
prepared). Side slopes will be stabilized with plant material and constructed in accordance
with erosion control regulations. Plant material that is selected for the site will be based
' on compatibility with microclimatic conditions. Preliminary vegetation selections for this
mitigation are included in the attached Planting Plans and Specification; they may be added
after equilibrium has been reached. Additionally, the sources of the plant material are
' listed in Appendix 2: Proposed Sources of Plant Material.
' Equilibrium needs to be attained prior to planting side slopes due to the placement of this
channel through potentially relatively infertile parent material. The equilibrium period will
allow for organic and mineral materials to accumulate and the soils to become completely
' saturated. The equilibrium period will also allow for the mitigation designers to accurately
assess plant material that will thrive in the created condition.
Soils:
Soils in the ecosystem are assumed to be Chewacla Series. Soils within the excavated
' channel side slopes that are not Chewacla, may be infertile may and may require the
Soil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. 7

STREAM MITIGATION PLAN
addition of soil amendments. Potential areas requiring soil amendments cannot be
identified unless the soil is disturbed. Old fill areas, if any, may require amendments.
Hydrology:
Hydrology at the mitigation site assumed. Hydrology should be allowed a period to reach
' equilibrium in the restored channel to ensure that banks are initially stable. No low-flow
periods are anticipated; the drainage area associated with the project is greater than 0.5
square miles and flow is anticipated to be constant. (Low-Flow Characteristics of Streams
' in North Carolina; "lower drainage area limit of zero flow not determined, but probably
less than 0.5 square miles for Western Piedmont and mountains ".) Any periods of low
flow within the mitigation area would also be found in other channels in the project
' vicinity.
' MITIGATION SEQUENCE:
Mitigation is designed to interface with the existing suitable hydrology and plant
propogule base for a self-sustaining channel ecosystem. Elements for the creation of the
' channel are listed below.
Site Protection Document -Commencing within 30 days of Permit issuance-
The Developer will coordinate in the drafting of a permanent conservation easement. This
protection will satisfy requirements of Ms. Brooke Lamson, Legal Affairs, COE,
Wilmington (telephone: 910 / 251-4499).
Erosion Control-
The Developer will erect the appropriate erosion control devices in all necessary areas so
' as to avoid excessive siltation within the construction area and shall be responsible for
securing all needed land clearing permits.
' Side-slope Preparation -
Channel side-slopes will be studied to identify areas requiring erosional and depositional
' treatment, habitat structures and channel capacities. Selective excavation will then
commence and will be completed at low flow periods, if possible.
' As-built Plan -
The Developer, in conjunction with their consultant will prepare a general base map for
the site after excavation which shows relative elevations within site, establishes reference
' elevations, and locates all areas to be monitored during the equilibrium period.
Grading-
The designer will review and analyze the site after excavation to determine whether any
minor grading is needed. At the time of plan development an interpolation of excavation
practices indicates that some grading may be necessary to establish the water course

' within the base of the channel. Areas that are to be graded will be clearly marked in the
field and will be graded with small machinery.
' Bank Stabilization -
Side slopes will be stabilized in accordance with the engineering constraints of the channel
' design. Bank stabilization will be coordinated simultaneously with excavation and erosion
control. Stabilization will be by whips, facines and root-wads, where practical
' Stabilization Plantings-
Immediately (upon final grading or completion of construction) mulch and plant
bare areas and stream channels which resulted from excavation utilizing readily
' available seed mixtures for wetland areas (Appendix Proposed Seed Mixture for
Stabilization ). If season is appropriate (spring) plant marsh plants (sedges, rushes,
etc.), if not, use other appropriate temporary annual cover.
Secondary Evaluation - After clearing, initial cover and equilibrium period, wait
' until next growing season to allow plant succession to begin response to site
environmental changes. Evaluate site during mid to late growing season and
develop planting plan to compliment native succession as well as site development
' program.
Secondary Planting - Install plant material during next appropriate season (i.e.
' woody material in fall, forbes in spring) as per secondary planting plan.
' MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT:
The Developer will be responsible for all financial aspects of the project and the long-term
' maintenance of the mitigation site (after the fifth growing season). The Developer will be
responsible for reporting on and assisting with the monitoring, maintenance, and
' management of this site until success criteria are met. Bi-annual reports drafted by the
Developer will be furnished to DWQ and COE. Reports will contain data pertaining to
percent herbaceous coverage and plant survival, and a narrative of management activities
' and general project condition. A final report will be prepared upon the completion of the
monitoring period or until success criteria are met. Should an unanticipated catastrophic
event destroy the mitigation site within the monitoring period a contingency plan will be
' drafted. Meetings with regulators (DWQ, COE) will be called in the event of a
catastrophic event.
' Final design (As-built) and specifications (reflecting any alterations or refinement
as a result of any refinement/changes in channel design) will be submitted to
DWQ for review prior to construction.

' Balled and Bagged (Woody Plants):
The size of the earthen ball shall be at least as large as specified in the American Standard
for Nursery Stock (1980). Where plants are to be planted in soils that will be saturated
' most of the growing season, the bagged root ball shall have a surface diameter that is at
least 1/2 the diameter of the un-pruned drip-line and a depth that is at least 8" per 5' of
tree/shrub height.
' If not planted immediately upon delivery to the job site, plants shall be stored in shade and
root balls kept moist through periodic watering until the time of planting.
If growing, the plants shall appear healthy with no leaf spots, leaf damage, leaf
discoloration, chlorosis, leaf wilting or curling, or evidence of insects on the leaves.
Container (Woody and Herbaceous Plants):
' The soil within the root ball shall be at field capacity (1/3 atmosphere) or wetter upon
delivery to the job site. Any wilted, dry and/or light weight plants shall be rejected. If not
planted immediately upon delivery to the job site, plants shall be stored in shade and root
' balls kept moist through periodic watering until the time of planting.
The container size shall be at least as large as specified. Plants shall not necessarily be
' rejected when supplied in containers larger than specified. However, the soil/root masses
shall be the size of the specified container size. If the soil/root masses are substantially
t smaller than the specified container size and loose soil exists on the sides and bottom of
the containers, indicating that plants have not been in specified containers long enough to
root into surrounding soil, the plants shall be rejected.
' If growing, the plants shall appear healthy with no leaf spots, leaf damage, leaf
discoloration, chlorosis, leaf wilting or curling, or evidence of insects on the leaves.
' For trees and shrubs, where spiraling woody roots exist on the outside of the soil/root
mass upon the removal of the plants from the containers, the landscape contractor shall
separate (cutting where necessary) and spread them out (frazzle) prior to planting.

Re: Long Creek Golf Course, Cleveland County, NC NCDWQ-980055
Response to review letter of March 3, 1998
Minimization and Alternatives
Mitigation
Dear Mr. Dorney:
I understand that you are currently meeting with other staff members within DWQ to
assess your role in interpreting the Watershed Supply Rules as they relate to 401 Water
Quality Certification. 1 believe that this letter will satisfy your requests in your March 3,
1998 letter, if the WS rules allow the construction of irrigation lake. Revised plans are
being drafted.
In response to your letter dated March 3, 1998 and in follow-up to my facsimile of March
12, 1998. 1
ALTERNATIVES AND }1IINIMIZATIOX
The construction of an irrigation lake within Long Creek is necessary for the operation
and maintenance of the Long Creek Golf Course. According to the course designer, the
proposed golf facility has a projected irrigation requirement of approximately 500 to 600
thousand gallons of water per day in order to maintain the greens, tees, and fairways.
The high demand for water eliminates the use of groundwater wells as a primary source
for irrigation. According to the National Water Summary 1986, USGS Water Supply
Paper 2325, groundwater wells are charged by the Crystalline Rock Aquifer, and yields
commonly range from 5 to 35 gallons per minute. The course is anticipated to require
close to 600,000 gallons per day; at this rate, assuming 35 gallons/minute, at least 10
wells would have to be installed and utilized continuously to provide the necessary

amount o£water. This alternative is not economically feasible, and, additionally, could
effe&I the ground water supply of surrounding agricultural areas.
The use of tributaries to Long Creek for the installation and supply of irrigation lakes is
likely not be feasible due to water supply requirements during periods of drought, In
reference to the USGS Water-Supply Paper 2403, tributaries within the Long Creek
project area are anticipated to have a low flow statistical value of zero because these
creeks do not drain 0.5 square miles. Therefore, these creeks can not be anticipated
support irrigation demands during critical demand periods of low precipitation.
Assuming a uniform depth of 5 feet in proposed and existing ponds and potential zero
flow the ponds would be pumped dry in just over one week
Surface. area of existing and proposed ponds (appx): 108,500, square feet
Assumed uniform depth for entire pond 5 feet
Total volume 542,500 cubic feet
One cubic foot holds 7,48 gallons
Total storage of lakes on tributaries totals : 4,057,900 gallons
Weekly demand for Long Creek Golf Course 3,500,00 gallons
The installation of off-line lakes and pumps on Long Creek would be more costly, and
would not serve the same functions as the proposed in-line irrigation lake. The
installation of a pump in Long Creek would essentially result in a exaggerated low flow
scenario in drought times; similarly, an irrigation lake on Long Creek would have the
same net result. Off-line lakes were considered but abandoned because they would not
capture run-off from the entire site. This alternative was not chosen because of
additional costs and the belief that it would result in direct exposure to Long Creek by
rtmolE
It is believed that the placement of the required irrigation lake within Long Creek is the
only sensible (economically and environmentally) location for the lake, assuming
approval in accordance with the WS III regulations. Long Creeks drainage area is greater
than 1.0 square miles and is, therefore, anticipated to have perennial flow. Further, in
response to your statement that significant uses are removed or degraded by the Long
Creek project, we believe that aquatic life uses and functions are not necessarily lost but
are altered. Likely, the aquatic function will be altered to support different aquatic life
such as game fish, littoral benthos, and various other aquatic macro and micro organisms.
Additionally, the irrigation lake on Long Creek would act as a "catch basin" for runoff
within the irrigated areas of the project. This could potentially prolong on site
containment, and increase in functions relating to sediment, nutrient, and pollutant
removal.

At minimum, 30 foot buffers from all fairways, tees, and greens are proposed for all areas
adjacent to Long Creek, this is consistent with the WS III regulations. Buffers are not
necessarily required around the irrigation lake according to the WS lII regulations; we are
getting resolve on this. If required, they will be observed and maintained.
NMGATION ISSUES:
Your letter of March 3, 1998 states that "...this project will require compensatory
mitigation if impacts to Long Creek exceed 150 linear feet... " and "_ .. Your mitigation
proposal is incomplete because no specific stream restoration site or monitoring plan was
prepared." Though not entirely correct, see letters of January 30, 1998 and February 20,
1998, we understand that there may have been some confhsion.
In the January correspondence we identified the NC WRP as a recipient of a payment in
lieu of on-site mitigation. In the February correspondence we conceded to some on-site
mitigation for the project array be selected if acceptable to the DWQ, otherwise the
proposal within the January application remained. As we understand your letter of March
3, 1998, you concur with the on-site proposal and will be requiring mitigation only if
impacts to Long Creek exceed 150 linear feet if we provide you with restoration sites and
a monitoring plan. Further., we understand that you require uo additional mitigation since
you do not state that mitigation will be required for impacts to the tributaries of Long
Creek. This being the case, we amend the correspondence of February 20, 1998 to
include the following.
• Impacts to Long Creek total 301 linear feet.
• Mitigation for impacts to Long Creek totals 301 linear feet and will occur at the
locations shown on the attached USGS tApo quad
• Mitigation will occur on-site at the eroded banks located on the attached maps. As
the Creek is located on bed-rock, no habitat or bed structures are proposed.
Mitigation is limited to bank stabilization in the highly eroded meanders of the creek.
• Monitoring will be consistent with prior plans submitted by S&EC. The February 20,
1998 correspondence already includes a species list and now is amended to include:
SUCCESS CRITERIA.:
Success will be realized when 75% herbaceous coverage is attained and 75
% of woody plants have survived for five years. The herbaceous cover
must be comprised of at least three of the introduced or volunteer species.
The estimated schedule for achieving 75% coverage is by the third
growing season, however, the site will be monitored until success is
achieved. Woody plant survival is defined as the percent of material alive
based on the planting spacing (i e. 3' x 3'- forbes spp. and 6'x 6' -shrub
spp.), or volunteers within that area. At least 50% ofthe vegetation must
be FACW or OBI,.
Apr 08 98 04s41p S&EC, Inc. HICKORY, NC 704 / 327-9164 p.4
If after the second growing season coverage is significantly lower than
what is expected in a normal progression necessary to reach 75% by the
and of the fifth season (<115 coverage), a plan to rectify the situation will
be prepared and submitted to the Permittee and DWQ within 30 days of
inspection.
Measurement ofthe success ofthe mitigation project will be relative to
functional values. Enhancement of bank stabilization, flow control,
pollutant removal, wildlife habitat, and educational aspects of the site may
be assumed through successful revegetation with wetland plants.
Additionally, the functional value as a dispersal corridor may be assumed
once the plant community interfaces with adjacent native plant
communities.
MON ORING AND_MANAGEMENT:
The Permittee will be responsible for all financial aspects of the project
and the long-term maintenance of the mitigation site (after the fifth
growing season). The installer and / or designer will be responsible for
reporting on and assisting with the monitoring, maintenance, and
management of this site until success criteria are met. Bi-annual reports
drafted by the designer will be furnished to the Permittee, DWQ and COE.
Reports will contain data pertaining to percent herbaceous coverage and
plant survival, and a narrative of management activities and general
project condition. A final report will be prepared upon the completion of
the monitoring period or until success criteria are met.
Should an unanticipated catastmphic event destroy the mitigation site
within the monitoring period a contingency plan will be drafted.
• Monitoring and evaluation of site will include:
Final design and specifications (reflecting any alterations or refinement as
a result of any refinement/changes in channel design) will be submitted to
DWQ for review prior to construction.
Pre-construction / planting meeting with the installer, Permittee
representative, designer (S&EC), and DWQ to review the plan and
confirm the roles of all involved parties. A log of this meeting will be
appended to this plan.
Site inspections, by S&EC and Permittee, during the planning, installation
and monitoring of the mitigation site to identify potential depredation and
degradation sources, if any are identified, a plan to rectify the
problem(s) will be appended.
Apr 08 98 04:41p S&EC, Inc. HICKORY, NC 704 J 327-9164 p.5
Final inspection after all site work is complete, preparation of appropriate
completion of work statement, preparation of a brief as-built report, sketch
plan, and documentary photos and submission of that report to DWQ for
review within 60 days of completion.
Location of original mitigation site limits in the field with markers that can
be seen from upland portions of the site (used in determination of
vegetation coverage).
Location of sample plots and planted material such that it can be
differentiated from native Succession.
Site inspection early in first growing season.
Of
She inspection at end of first growing season and preparation of fletter ailed
evaluation, documentary photos, and suggested treatment of any
areas and submission to DWQ within 30 days of inspection.
Site inspection during late growing season of second and third years with
documentary photos and letter of evaluation at end of third growing
season (to DWQ within 30 days of inspection).
Management and maintenance of the site will focus on establishment
and protection of the wetland and will consist of the following:
Removal of undesirable sprouting woody vegetation ((i.e. Chinese privet
(by hand, taking rootstock if possible)) !Within the systems. To be done in
late August -September of the growing seasons.
Installation of flow dissipaters / channel stabilization / detention measures
as necessary in response to changes in hydrology of watershed as
development occurs.
Re-planting of any bare or sparse spots daring season appropriate to plant
species as necessary to achieve success.
Maintaining ground cover and sediment control devices on all up-slope
uplands to prevent sedimentation within the mitigation area.
Removal and control of any potentially degrading factors such as

assess your role in interpreting the Watershed Supply Rules as they relate to 401 Water
Quality Certification. I believe that this letter will satisfy your requests in your March 3,
1998 letter, if the WS rules allow the construction of irrigation lake. Revised plans are
being drafted.
In response to your letter dated March 3, 1998 and in follow-up to my facsimile of March
12, 1998.
ALTERNATIVES AND MINIMIZATION:
The construction of an irrigation lake within Long Creek is necessary for the operation
and maintenance of the Long Creek Golf Course. According to the course designer, the
proposed golf facility has a projected irrigation requirement of approximately 500 to 600
thousand gallons of water per day in order to maintain the greens, tees, and fairways.
The high demand for water eliminates the use of groundwater wells as a primary source
for irrigation. According to the National Water Summary 1986, USGS Water Supply
Paper 2325, groundwater wells are charged by the Crystalline Rock Aquifer, and yields
commonly range from 5 to 35 gallons per minute. The course is anticipated to require
close to 600,000 gallons per day; at this rate, assuming 35 gallons/minute, at least 10
wells would have to be installed and utilized continuously to provide the necessary

amount of water. This alternative is not economically feasible, and, additionally, could
effect the ground water supply of surrounding agricultural areas.
The use of tributaries to Long Creek for the installation and supply of irrigation lakes h
likely not be feasible due to water supply requirements during periods of drought. In
reference to the USGS Water-Supply Paper 2403, tributaries within the Long Creek
project area are antici ated to have a low flow statistical value of zero because these
creeks do not ain 0.5 square miles. Therefore, these creeks can not be anticipated
support irrigation demands during critical demand periods of low precipitation.
Assuming a uniform depth of 5 feet in proposed and existing ponds and potential zero
flow the ponds would be pumped dry in just over one week..
C?
,lot
Surface area of existing and proposed ponds (appx): 108,500 square feet
Assumed uniform depth for entire pond 5 feet
Total volume 542,500 cubic feet
One cubic foot holds 7.48 gallons
Total storage of lakes on tributaries totals : 4,057,900 gallons
Weekly demand for Long Creek Golf Course 3,500,00 gallons
The installation of off-line lakes and pumps on Long Creek would be more costly, and
would not serve the same functions as the proposed in-line irrigation lake. The
installation of a pump in Long Creek would essentially result in a exaggerated low-flow
scenario in drought times; similarly, an irrigation lake on Long Creek would have the
same net result. Off-line lakes were considered but abandoned because they would not
capture run-off from the entire site. This alternative was not chosen because of
additional costs and the belief that it would result in direct exposure to Long Creek by
runoff.
It is believed that the placement of the required irrigation lake within Long Creek is the
only sensible (economically and environmentally) location for the lake, assuming
approval in accordance with the WS III regulations. Long Creeks drainage area is greater
than 1.0 square miles and is, therefore, anticipated to have perennial flow. Further, in
response to your statement that significant uses are removed or degraded by the Long
Creek project, we believe that aquatic life uses and functions are not necessarily lost but
are altered. Likely, the aquatic function will be altered to support different aquatic life
such as game fish, littoral benthos, and various other aquatic macro and micro organisms.
Additionally, the irrigation lake on Long Creek would act as a "catch basin" for runoff
within the irrigated areas of the project. This could potentially prolong on-site
containment, and increase in functions relating to sediment, nutrient, and pollutant
removal.
At minimum, 30 foot buffers from all fairways, tees, and greens are proposed for all areas
adjacent to Long Creek, this is consistent with the WS III regulations. Buffers are not
necessarily required around the irrigation lake according to the WS III regulations; we are A'"(,fi
getting resolve on this. If required, they will be observed and maintained. PI
MITIGATION ISSUES:
Your letter of March 3, 1998 states that "...this project will require compensatory
mitigation if impacts to Long Creek exceed 150 linear feet..." and "... Your mitigation
proposal is incomplete because no specific stream restoration site or monitoring plan was
prepared." Though not entirely correct, see letters of January 30, 1998 and February 20,
1998, we understand that there may have been some confusion.
In the January correspondence we identified the NC WRP as a recipient of a payment in

Dear Mr. Huysman:
Subject: Proposed Long Creek Golf Club, Cleveland County, North Carolina
We received your letter of January 30, 1998, in which you requested our concurrence with your
determination that the proposed project would not affect listed species. The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) is providing the following comments in accordance with the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
According to your letter and telephone conversations with Mr. Mark Cantrell of our staff, you
have located Hexastlis specimens within the bounds of the subject project, which is under
review for the issuance of wetland permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Because the
specimens were located after the flowering period, identification to species was not possible. It
is probable, though, that these specimens are part of a population of the federally threatened
:l:. .-I-1?Ov:ered, he rtleaf (z??xaSi,'lrs ",p?;Onrc?) Tr vnii lc-tt- you inrjiratad that you trn„trht
that even if the specimens are Hexasrylis naniflora, there will be "no effect" to the species
because there will be no clearing or storm-water discharge within that area. You also indicated
that the Hexasrylis area would be clearly delineated in the field and that heavy equipment would
be excluded from that area.
At this time the Service cannot concur with this determination relative to Hexastliss naniflora.
Provided that the specimens are eventually identified as Hexasrylis naniflora, additional
questions need to be answered and other relevant i ws need to . How will
operat' e olf course i t these 1 t is believed that Hexasrylis na
ollinated b snails or slu s• how wi f this s ecies be affecte If course and
turf grass maintenance often rely on frequent applications of pesti des, including nemacides.
Other golf course maintenance practices include daylighting of d t areas; will this also affect

Hexasrylus naniflora? Will the fairways fragment habitat of Hexasrylus naniflora and/or its
pollinators? How will the Hexasrylus naniflora population and its habitat be protected after
construction of the golf course? Will this area be set aside permanently?
In view of the above questions, the Service believes the requirements under Section 7 of the Act
can only'be fulfilled for this construction project, if (1) the Hexasrylus specimans are positively
identified during the flowering season, (2) a determination is made as to whether the proposed
activities may affect the species directly or indirectly, and (3) a summary of the planned
minimization actions is forwarded to the Service for concurrence.
According to information attached to your January 30, 1998, letter, approximately 476 linear feet
of streambed will be impacted under an application for authorization by Nationwide
Permit No. 26. Under this proposal an additional 2,280 linear feet of streambed will be flooded
by a,til:cial ;mpoundr,:ents.. One read crossing, prepogerl tinder N?t onwide Permit No. 14,
would impact 75 linear feet of streambed. If asked to comment on wetland permits for the
proposed project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Service will recommend that this
project be treated under an individual permit because of the magnitude of the stream impacts.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Mark Cantrell at
704/258-3939, Ext. 227. In any future correspondence concerning this matter, please reference

Dear Mr. Huysman:
1,998
Subject: Proposed Long Creek Golf Club, Cleveland County, North Carolina
We received your letter of April 1, 1998, in which you provided additional information about the
potential occurrence of the threatened dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora) at the
subject project site. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is providing the following
comments in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C.
661-667e), and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543) (Act).
According to previous correspondence and telephone conversations with Mr. Mark Cantrell of
our staff, you have located Hexastylis specimens within the bounds of the subject project, which
is under review for the issuance of wetland permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Because the specimens were located after the flowering period, identification to species was not
possible. It is probable, though, that these specimens are part of a population of the federally
threatened c wari flowered heart-leaf (Hexastylis naniJlora). In our March :), i998, ietter, we
requested additional information about the potential effects of the project on the Hexastylis
population there. In your April 1, 1998, letter, you addressed several issues with regard to the
proposed golf course. They are as follows, with our comments included:
A. Course operation and design: Golf holes in the vicinity of the Hexastylis
plants will be constructed with diversion swales to prevent storm water from
entering the area. In addition, spray head irrigation will not be directed into
the area. No daylighting of damp areas is proposed. In your letter you also
indicate that an Integrated Pest Management program will likely be
developed. The Service requests that this Integrated Pest Management plan be
developed prior to completion of the course so that implementation will be
immediate.
B. Protective measures: The Hexastylis area will be delineated and recorded on
the deed. The Service suggests that the language in the covenant be modified
to protect this population in perpetuity rather than terminate it when the
species is delisted. By maintaining protection in perpetuity, the population
can be considered protected and considered an action toward the recovery of
the species. If the protection measures end upon delisting, the population
cannot be considered protected in accordance with the recovery criteria and
will likely be listed for a longer period of time.
C. Habitat fragmentation: Hexastylis habitat will not be further fragmented by
this project. Previous timber-harvesting activities and land management of the
surrounding area likely influence the extent of this species within suitable
habitat in the area. Fragmentation of pollinators is not anticipated because
there will be no impacts to the slope and associated stream channel.
D. Minimization Actions: The operation and design of the golf course have been
coordinated to ameliorate potential impacts to Hexastylis.
Provided that the specimens are eventually identified as Hexastylis naniflora, the Service agrees
that this project will not adversely affect this species, provided there is strict implementation of
the avoidance and minimization measures identified in your letter as well as the following:
(1) the restrictive covenant language should be modified to protect this population in perpetuity
and (2) an Integrated Pest Management program should be developed and implemented.
However, obligations under Section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information
reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a
manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was
not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that
may be affected by the identified action.
With regard to wetland permitting, the Service does not agree that a nationwide permit is
appropriate for this project because of the extent of wetland and stream impacts and the
occurrence of listed species. The Service is, however, interested in reviewing any proposed
mitigation for unavoidable wetland and stream impacts prior to permit issuance.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Mark at 828/258-3939,
Ext. 227. In any future correspondence concerning this matter, please reference our Log
No. 4-2-98-082.

DWQ Project # 980055
Cleveland County
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material located at SR 1924, SR
1923, SR 1908 and NC 180 in Cleveland County for development of the Long Creek Golf Course. Based on this
review, we have identified significant uses, which would be removed or degraded by this project. These uses are
aquatic life in the stream, which is classified as Water Supply III. 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, unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to move
toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e) and will place this project on hold as
incomplete until we receive this additional information. 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 states your project must be constructed as
planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters and/or wetlands. Sp;cifically can
you construct your golf course irrigation ponds on tributaries to Long Creek rather than Long Creek itself? Also a
30-foot buffer will need to be maintained (i.e., no golf fairways, tees or greens) along Long Creek. A revised site
plan depicting the changes outlined in the February 20, 1997 (sic) letter from Mr. Chris Huysman will also be needed.
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 if
impacts to Long Creek exceed 150 linear feet as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h). Your mitigation proposal is
insufficient because no specific stream restoration site or monitoring plan was proposed.
Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to me and one
copy to Todd St. John, Mooresville Regional Office at 919 North Main Street 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.

SUBJECT: Wetland Staff Report and Recommendations
Permit Year: 98 Permit No.: 0000055 County: Cleveland
Applicant Name: Long Creek Golf Club
Project Type: Golf Course Permit Type: N W 14, 26

Request More Info?: N
Project Changes/Conditions been discussed with applicant?: N

Comments: The applicant has requested to culvert 476 feet of stream and flood an additional 2280 linear feet of
stream. There are several issues surrounding the proposed stream impacts:
I) 15A NCAC 2B .02153(b)(I)(G) may require a buffer along Long Creek since the stream is Class
WS III. This buffer may preclude the construction of ponds or dams as well as fairways, etc.
2) The writer observed fish in Long Creek but none in any of the tributaries. The consultant used a VZf`
dip net and reportedly found no fish, but did discover dragonfly nymphs which may indicate that
some areas of these tributaries are perennial. It may be necessary to determine which of they
tributaries may be perennial. 1%
I K
%eAAA +
3) Mitigation will definitely be required for all of the culverting of Long Creek. This includes R2,
L7, and L6. R2 will be covered by NW 14 and L6 and L7 are to be covered by NW 26. Tile
writer is not sure why L6 and L7 are covered by NW 26 since Long Creek is clearly not
headwaters.
Stream Index No.: 9-53-3-(1)
Wetland Type: Stream
Wetland Acre Est.?: N/A
4) The road and cart crossings appear to be perpendicular. However, road crossing No. I shown oil
Map C may include more impacts than the other crossings due to the fact the stream contains an
N
"S" curve at the crossing. Also, the consultant indicated that the engineer designed the roads to
be 50 feet wide and constructed with retaining walls to minimize the fill.
5) It is not clear why the lakes L-6 and L-7 need to be constructed on Long Creek as opposed to the
intermittent tributaries. There appears to be a plethora of available sites on the intermittent
channels that could be dammed and serve as irrigation supply ponds. Also, it is not clear whether
or not the irrigation ponds are needed or will only serve as water features.
There are issues that need to be resolved before this Office will recommend issuing a 401 Certification for this
project. However, this Office will recommend issuing a 401 Certification if the applicant abandons the plans to
dam Long Creek to create irrigation ponds, and, instead, uses an alternative irrigation source, including
damming one or more of the many intermittent channels located on the property. If the applicant does not agree
to abandon its plans to dam Long Creek, this Office recommends denying the 401 Certification on the grounds
that impacts have not been minimized and avoided, and that the construction of the dams would result in loss of
significant uses on Long Creek.

The purpose of this letter is to inform your offices of proposed revisions to the wetland impact
permit for the proposed Long Creek Golf Club: the project is currently being reviewed by your
office. The proposed project is described in a Joint Application dated January 30, 1998.
Fax[phone]
At the request of the Army Corps of Engineers, all cart crossings will now be bridged in order to
reduce impacts. The reduction of impacts totals 90 linear feet. Channel impacts under Nationwide
Permit 26 will now total 476 linear feet.
Impacts under Nationwide Permit 26 to streambeds will be mitigated for (according to USACE) by
stabilizing 476 linear feet of chaxmels within the Long Creek and Buffalo Creek sub-drainage
basins of the Broad River basin. Stabilization will be by willow whips, and juncus sprigs and will
be consistent with the attached schematic. If deemed acceptable by NCDWQ, a plan will be
drafted for on-site mitigation that will satisfy both agencies, otherwise, the mitigation proposal
found in the initial application stands.
Additionally, it should be noted that the USACE presented an offer whereby wetland creation
(htoral bench plantings) could be used in lieu of channel mitigation to mitigate for some chaimel
losses associated with this project. This mitigation, if acceptable to the DWQ, may be utilized. , lL
Please call with questions.

Attn: Mr. John Domey

The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permits 14 and 26, and their General
Certification for the proposed Long Creek Golf Club. The proposed activity is located within
Cleveland County and is shown on the attached site plans and USGS topo quad.
The attached portions of the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, by Odom and Associates,
illustrate that the proposed golf facility has been designed with buffers ("roughs") and diversion
swales (berms) to ameliorate impacts to water quality. These environmentally sensitive efforts are
the work of Robbins and Associates, the course designer, who is familiar with the Division of
Water Quality's design requirements.
A population of the Federally Threatened Dwarf-flowered Heartleaf (Hexasylis naniflora) has
been preliminarily identified on the site, this finding will be confirmed during the flowering season
for the plant: we anticipate the finding is accurate. The population is close to Hole 2 which has
been re-designed as to have no impact to the population and thus negates the need for Section 7
Consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The developer is considering the best course
of action to protect this plant. The limits of the population, plus buffers including large specimen
trees (white and red oaks), has been flagged in the field. Diversion swales will be utilized to
prevent run-off from the course entering this area. See attached documentation.
Permanent impacts to significant streambeds under Nationwide Permit 26 are calculated to be 476
linear feet. Flooding impacts to significant streambeds is calculated to be 2280 linear feet. Impacts
under Nationwide Permit 26 will result in the creation of approximately 5.6 acres of surface
waters.
Impacts under Nationwide 14 and 26 to non-significant streambeds total 325 linear feet. One road
crossing is of a significant streambed, it totals 75 linear feet. Impacts associated with road
crossings and outfall protection are minimized by the use of concrete headwalls and small rip-rap
pads.

Impacts for the proposed facility are found in tabular form after the PCN. This information was
utilized to determine potential mitigation; a Mitigation Table follows the Channel Impact Table.
Mitigation for 551 linear feet of hard impacts is proposed through the NC Wetland Restoration
Program; this is anticipated to satisfy any Corps required mitigation.
DWQ mitigation requirements were determined by tallying permanent impacts to channels that
support fish. The presence of fish was determined by utilizing a dip-net at proposed impact areas;
each proposed impact area was "netted" for approximately 5 minutes.
Please call with questions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Brian Cole, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Asheville, NC
CC: Mr. Steve Chapin, USACE, Wilmington District
Ms. Jamie Amoroso, NC Natural Heritage Program
From: Chris Huysman, S&EC, Inc., Western Branch Office
Date: January 30, 1998
RE: Dwarf-flowered Heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora)
Long Creek Golf Club, Cleveland County, NC
The purpose of this memo is to notify your office that I have potentially located a new population
of the federally threatened Hexastylis naniflora. The population is found within the bounds of a
project that is currently being reviewed for impacts to wetlands under the.Nationwide Permit
Program administered by the Army Corps of Engineers. The population is not in flower, but
morphologically it resembles other populations that I have recently identified in th e greater
project area. These other populations are located at the Cleveland County Landfill (shown on
attached map) and along the Washburn Switch Sewer Outfall (reference our conversations of
June, 1997).
As the population will not be effected by the proposed action we believe that Section 7
Consultation is not required. No effect will be achieved by no clearing of the area and by routing
nutrient loaded stormwater around the population. This population will be clearly located in the
field and heavy equipment will not be permitted in the area.
Respectfully request confirmation of the above interpretation. Thank you, in advance, for your
attention to this matter.
Additionally, my co-worker, Mr. Steve Roberts, has recently drafted an application for a permit
to collect material from plants to make positive identifications of potentially protected species, I
understand that Mr. Roberts will not collect viable reproductive portions of the plant, if possible,
and will surrender all portions of collected protected species, once identified, to the nearest office
of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Mr. Roberts holds a Masters in Plant Ecology and has
exhibited exemplary professional ethics. If issued, this permit will facilitate the identification
process for our staff and will allow for earlier consultation under Section 7.

Mr. Chris Iluysman
Soils & Environmental Consultants
Dear Chris,
Pursuant to our conversations regarding the construction of the new golf course project near Shelby,
i would like to explain our design concepts to you as they relate to the placement and quantity of
lakes on site. Long Creek which flows through the project has several tributaries entering it that also
flow through the golf course area. In conjunction with the sedimentation/erosion control needs, golf
course strategy and irrigation storage, we have tried to lay out a system in which all of these needs
can be accommodated. We have chosen the last lake (at hole #5 and hear New Prospect Church
Road) as the source lake for our irrigation water. This choice was made based upon the fact that it
will capture the largest amount of surface water flow during drought tithes and the fact that the other
ponds would provide a great deal of settlement and filtering capability before removal of irrigation
water. We would also be able to use some of the storage capacity of the upper ponds if neede'+
during stress periods. The course has been designed in such a way as to retain as mach natural buffer
area of vegetation alongside streams as possible to provide for natural filtering prior to any discharge
into the ponds. We have had very good success in the approval process with designs such as this at
Mill Creek in Mebane, N_C. and at Sweetwater near Clayton. We hope that this helps explain the
design and please call if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Rick Robbins

Dear Mr. Dorsey:
I understand that you are currently meeting with other ataf#'memtbora within DWQ to
assess your role in intespretfng the Watershed Supply Rules as they relate to 401 Water

A M1UIVES AND m
DUIIZATION•
The construction of to irrigation lake within Long Creek is necessary for the operation
8nd mainteuaace of the Long Creek Golf Course. Aeoording to the course desigasr, the
proposed golf facility has a projected irrigatim requiroment of approximately 500 to 600
thousand gallons of water per day in order to wAintain the greeat , tees, and fahway&
The high demand for water eliminates the use of groundwater welt as a prizavy source
for ,irrigation. According to the Naiiwwl WaW Summary 1966, USiGS Woo Supply
Paper 2325, groundwater wells are charged by the Crystalline Rock Aquifer, ad yjelds
commonly range Stom S to 35 gallons per minute. The course it antie'.ipated to require
close to 640,000 gams per day; at this rate, assuming 35 gallottalminute, at least 10
wells would have to be installed and atilized continuously to provide the necessary

The use of tributaries to Long Creek fbr the installation and supply of nr gWon later is

crooks do not drain 0.5 square miles. Therefore, these oreeks can pot be mated

The installation of off-lino lakes and pumps on Yong Creek would be more costly, acid

it is believed that the placement of the required irrigation lake within; Fong Creek is the
only sensiblo (economically and cavironmem44y) location for the lake asm wing

response to your ststelfwd that s4mif cast User are romoved or dgpded by the Long

are altered. Likely, the aquatic function will be shored to support different aquatic M
such as game fish, littoral beathos, Asti various other aquatic nnacro and micro owuliw=
Additionally, the h=igation lake on Long Creek Wald act as a "catch. basin" for n mfr
within the irrlgated areas of the project. This could potentially prolong oa-site

Your lector of March 3, 1998 states that . -tilts project will require conVensatory
mitigation if itupacts to Long Creek exceed 150 liucer feet..." and " yM won
proposal is incomplete beosusc no specific stream restoration site or monitoring pleat was
prepared." Though not wtirely correct, we ]enters of January 30, 1998 and February 20,
1998, we understand that there may have been some confi,sioa.
In the January correspondence we identified the NC UW sip it rewipiow of & payawnt in
.lieu of on-site mitigation. In the 1~ebtuary correspondence we conceded to amm art-site
mitigation for the project may be selected if acceptable to the DWQ, otherwise the
proposal wic}un the January applicatiou rematned_ As we aaderstaud your letter of Mawh
3, 1998, you concur with the on-site proposal and will bo regturkS mitigation only if
impacts to irons Creek oxoeed 150 linear &et if we provide you with restoration aitea ad
a monitoring plan- Further, we undeeorstand that you require no additional mitigation since
you do not state that mitigation will be required for imparts to the tributaries of Long
Creel- This being the case, we amend the correspondence of February 20, 1998 to
include the following.
• Impacts to Long Creek total 3011inear feet.
• Mitigation fax impacts to Long Creek totals 301 linear feet and will occur at the
locations shown on the attached USGS topo quad.
Mitig4tion will occxu on-site at the eroded banks located on the attached maps. As
the Creek is looated on bed-rock, no habitat or bed structures are proposed.
Mitigation is limited to bank stabilisation in the highly eroded meanders of the crew.
• Monitoring will be consistent with priorplsuss submitted, by SdcF,C. The Febntary 20,
1958 Correspondence already iaaludee: a apoeries list and now Is amended to include:
MCCESS CRELEM:
Success will be realized when 75% herbaceous coverage is Attained 4ad 75
9'o of woody plants have survived for five years. The herbaceous cover
must be comprised of at least three of the introduced or vokmteer spe des.
The est uated schedule for achieving 75% coverage is by the third
srowing season, however, rho site will be monitored until aucoew is
achieved. Woody plum wrrival is daFined as the Moot of material alive

end of the tsft season (<1/5 coverage), it plea to rectify the shustion will
be prep" and submitted to the Perminee and DWQ widdri 30 days of

Measurement ofthe success ofthe mitigation project will be relative to
functional values Enhanoeme& of battle stabilisation, Bow comol,
pollutant romoval, wildlife habitat, atad educadonal aspects ofthe site may
be assorted through successful Mvegetation whit WUhnd plains.
Additionally, the functional value as a dispersal corridor may be assumed
once the plant community interhCes with adjacent native plant
communities.
