RE: The Point, Iredell County (FERC #2232, DWQ 980056,*- Golf Cart Bridges
Dear John,
The Lake Facilities Plan for The Point included three locations for crossings
of the Lake Norman Project Boundary by golf cart bridges. These bridges were
constructed under the approval authority of Duke Power Company last winter during
periods of low water to minimize impacts.
This letter is to advise you that during construction, field adjustments were
made regarding the positions, length and heights of these structures, based upon
practical site and aesthetic considerations. These adjustments have created
opportunities for the creation of several aquatic "preserves" where habitat for fish,
aquatic organisms, and waterfowl can be considerably improved. We are requesting
your assistance and advice in developing mitigation and enhancement measures to
this end.
Field Adjustments
The adjustments to the originally proposed locations and heights of the
bridges were made to reduce the scale and to lessen the visual impact of the
structures upon views from the lake and the surrounding shoreline. This was
accomplished by lowering bridge "A," by moving bridges "B and C" as close to the
rear of their respective coves as was practicable, and by winding them through the
trees to hide them (please see attached "proposed" bridge locations and field-
surveyed "as-built" locations). This created longer, more costly structures, but it had
the effect of blending the water crossings into the landscape where they were
screened or hidden entirely by vegetation and the slope of the land. What were
originally proposed as visually prominent "bridges" became low impact "catwalks."
(Please see attached photos).

Impact on Project Boundary
The structures do, however, still cross over the 760' Project Boundary contour
in several locations. This has the effect of restricting navigation in the small areas at
the extreme rear of the these coves, but the restriction is minimal at best, as the areas
in question are so confined and shallow as to render navigation implausible in any
case. Duke Power lake Management in its review has determined that the bridges
"have been pushed far enough toward the heads of the small coves so that navigation
is not impacted."
In addition, the location of the lowered crossings has the effect of protecting
these shallow areas from wave action, watercraft propeller damage, and craft landing/
launching. (Please see attached surveys delineating areas behind bridges).
Impacts on Existing Aquatic/Shoreline Vegetation
With reference to the Sev mkr 1998 Duke Pow Shoreline Managawz" Plan, the
field adjustments to the golf cart crossings have had the following effects:
• "Bridge A": No "Environmental Area" designations are shown for this
cove. No impact to "Environmental Areas" has occurred or will occur
because of this bridge.
"Bridge B": An identified "Environmental Area" at the extreme rear tip of
the south-western cove is crossed by the raised structure at a height of
approximately five feet. The total surface area of the catwalk deck over
the Environmental Area is approximately 230 sq.ft. The area of actual
permanent disturbance where supporting poles penetrate the ground is less
than four sq.ft. Any areas of temporary disturbance caused by
construction will be replaced and enhanced for purposes of re-establishing
improved habitat. (Please see attached proposed plant list).
"Bridge B" also crosses a designated wetland area behind the rear tip of
the northwestern cove at a height of six feet. The surface area of the
catwalk over this wetland is approximately five hundred sq.ft. The area of
actual permanent disturbance where supporting poles penetrate the ground
is approximately nine sq.ft. Any temporary disturbance to the wetland area
that occurred during construction will be replaced with suitable native
wetland plants. (Please see attached plant list).

• "Bridge C": Crosses an "Environmental Area" towards the rear of the
narrow, northeastern fork of its cove at a height of approximately five feet.
The surface area of the catwalk over this "Environmental Area" is
approximately four hundred fifty sq.ft. The actual area of permanent
disturbance caused by supporting poles is approximately thirty sq.ft. Any
temporary disturbance to this "Environmental Area" that occurred during
construction will be replaced and enhanced with suitable native plant
materials. (Please see attached plant list).
Proposed Actions: Creation of Enhanced Habitat "Preserves"
As noted earlier, the lowering of the cart path crossings and their
repositioning to the rear of their respective coves creates "fenced-off" areas where
water movement and fluctuations continue unabated but where wave action is
reduced and disturbance or damage by motorized watercraft is eliminated. The Point
development proposes to enhance the areas behind the structures (i.e. between the
back of the three crossings and the 760' contour) with appropriate additional
emergent and aquatic plant materials to create prime habitat for fish, aquatic
organisms, waterfowl and wildlife as well as to offer a pleasing visual experience for
cart path and lake users. The Point will (with appropriate Agency's advice and
approvals) install the plant materials and maintain them as preserves in perpetuity.
The areas proposed for enhancement of habitat and the creation of preserves
are:
"Bridge A" - 1 area of 3118 sq.ft.
"Bridge B" - 2 areas totaling 2679 sq.ft.
"Bridge C" - 1 area of 85 sq.ft.
(Please see attached surveys)
Identified wetland areas which are immediately upland of the proposed
preserves will also be enhanced with native obligate wetland plant materials to
improve their quality.
A suggested aquatic plant list has been compiled for the creation and
enhancement of habitats. We would be delighted to have any suggestions that you
might provide as to additional plant materials and to practices and management/
maintenance measures concerning the preserve areas.

We would be most appreciative of receiving comments from you regarding
these proposals at your earliest convenience. With your agency's approval, we hope
to proceed with installation of plant materials early this fall.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM 'e9 7
TO:
John R. Dorney, Division of Water Quality Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources W??yv
??PrL1ei,..
FROM: Joe H. Mickey, Jr., Western Piedmont Region Coordi
Habitat Conservation Program 9 .
DATE: Action ID 980056, WQC Project 970610 "The Pointe" (previously called
"Queensland"), Iredell County
SUBJECT: Review of an application by Crescent Resources, Inc, to impact 0.6848 acres of
wetlands during construction of the "The Pointe", Iredell County.
Mr. Arthur H. Oldham, Oldham Planning and Design Associates, Inc., on behalf of their
client, Crescent Resources, Inc., is requesting 401 Water Quality Certification from the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the
applicant, and I discussed this project with Mr. Steve Chapin of the US Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) on February 9, 1998. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the
Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Crescent Resources, Inc. proposes to develop 1162 acres as "The Pointe" adjacent to
Lake Norman in southern Iredell County. Initial plans in the letter dated January 9, 1998 to your
office noted that 0.6848 acres of wetlands will be impacted by filling (0.5728 a) and three minor
road crossings (0.112 a) during construction of the 18-hole golf course and 924 residential lots.
Since the January 9, 1998 letter, Mr. Chapin (COE) has met on site with project sponsors and
plans have been revised to reduce wetland impacts to less than 0.3 acre (phone conversation on
2/9/98). Plans also call for a buffer between the lake and the golf course.
Based on discussion of revised plans as directed by Mr. Chapin (COE), we have no
objection to the project impacting less than 0.3 acres of wetlands provided the following
recommendations are implemented:
1. The impacts to wetlands do not require the filling or dredging of any coves or wetlands
associated with coves. If dredging or filling is proposed for these areas, application should
r
n
Mr. Dorney 2 2/9/98
"The Pointe" ID 980056
also be submitted through Duke Power Company's Excavation Permitting Program for
additional agency review.
2. Guidelines developed for projects impacting shorelines by Duke Power Company's Shore-
line Management Guide should be strictly followed. We recommend no or minimal
disturbance in shoreline areas designated environmental or as natural areas.
3. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained
until project completion.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/366-2982.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Cresent Resources, Inc.
17405 Jetton Road
Huntersville, NC 28078
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place
fill material for the purpose of conducting dredging, as you described in your revised application dated
June 1, 1998 from Mr. Art Oldham of Oldham Planning and Design Associates at The Point (Queensland
development). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Number 3105. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Number 16 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your new application
except as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and send us a new application.
If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is

Lake Facilities Plan, FERC #2232
Dear Mr. Fleek,
Pro
_ __ _
This letter is in response to comments received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the North Carolina DENR,
based upon those agencies' joint field visit to the subject property on March 26, 1998.
In reference to concerns expressed regarding the potential impacts on aquatic
resources and shoreline habitat associated with pier construction and proposed dredging
activities, we offer the following responses:
GENERAL RESPONSES:
• Sounding/bottom data: Prior to the initiation of site planning for The Point, a
boundary survey was undertaken by ESP Associates, the project's engineers. This
field survey accurately established the location of the 760' contour for the entire
property. At the same time, utilizing waterborne GPS sounding equipment
accurate to one-tenth (1/10) of a foot, the surveyors provided a topographic map
of the lake bottom contours for a distance of approximately one hundred-twenty
(120) feet from the 760' contour, for all eighteen (18) miles of shoreline. These
mapped bottom contours were used in combination with Lake Norman Dredging
Company's further site specific investigation to accurately determine the amount
of dredging required to achieve a ten (10) foot water depth at the Community
piers.
• Environmental Areas: The Environmental Areas delineated on the Lake Facilities
Plan are those identified in the approved Duke Power Shoreline Management
Plan. The applicant understands that there are other areas along the shoreline

Charlotte, NC 28203 Fax [phone]

which could potentially be classified as "Environmental" because they exhibit
buttonbush, sandy bottom, gravel or otherwise provided fish habitat. The
Western Piedmont Region Coordinator for The North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission has provided the applicant with a field map from the joint
agency site visit which identifies these additional areas. This map has been used
in the current relocation and reconfiguration of piers in order to avoid dredging
impacts to these potential habitat areas. Therefore, all areas identified as
"Environmental," whether by official designation in the Shoreline Management
Plan or by field identification during the joint agency site visit, have been taken
into account and protected, in the current Lake Facilities Plan, dated June 3, 1998.
• Notification to Prospective Buyers/Lot Owners: All waterfront lot purchasers at
The Point will be clearly notified in their deeds and in separate documentation,
that their property is adjacent to a Duke Power reservoir to which they have no
guarantee of access nor right of ownership. Buyers of lots adjacent to currently
designated Environmental Areas will also be notified of the limited uses which are
permitted on their property; no disturbance of vegetation below the 760' contour
and no piers or docks in, or crossing, the Environmental Area. For waterfront
lots which are adjacent to other areas that maybe suitable for classification as
"Environmental" because of the presence of buttonbush, sandy bottom, or
gravel, the applicant will provide, through the project's Covenants and
Restrictions, protection of these areas from handclearing of vegetation or
dredging. The Restriction will also indicate the acceptable location for a private
pier on each waterfront lot, and the requirement that it be permitted through
Duke Power's review and approval process. Duke Power maintains the authority
to approve or disapprove private piers on all waterfront lots. If dredging is
necessary to achieve an acceptable water depth for navigation, it will not be
allowed to occur within the area potentially classifiable as "Environmental." All
owners of waterfront lots will also be notified in their deed of the thirty (30) foot
watershed buffer which extends upland from the 760' contour across the lakeside
of their lot.
• Dredging Procedures: In an effort to reduce potential impacts associated with
dredging the applicant is adopting an improved procedure for all Community Pier
and Marina dredging at The Point. Rather than employing hydraulic dredging
methods which require considerable land disturbance for piping and dewatering
operations, the dredging will be conducted using a Track Hoe mounted on a
floating barge. Material will be excavated and placed in a watertight holding barge
for transport to an approved spoil site. Since the Track Hoe bucket dewaters as it

excavates, no dewatering basins are required and no overland transport of
sediment back into the lake occurs. Where necessary or appropriate, turbidity
curtains will be used to isolate the dredging operation. Dredging will be limited to
the minimum amount necessary to achieve pier installation and safe navigation.
Dredging will be conducted "in the dry" if possible, when the lake level is low.
No dredging will occur in March, April, May and June because of potential
impacts to fish spawning sites.
• Community Pier Configurations: The comments provided from the reviewing
agencies have indicated a preference for piers that are perpendicular rather than
parallel to the shoreline, to reduce impacts to shallow water habitat. In almost all
cases, the Community Piers cannot be made to be perpendicular, as they will be
too long for the coves in which they are located. They cannot be longer than
one-third of the width of the cove nor over 120 feet. Building multiple, shorter,
perpendicular piers to provide the same number of slips as a parallel pier, would
create greater impacts to the shoreline as there would be more ramp locations and
hence, more disturbance. To respond to the need to preserve shallow water
habitat, submerged vegetation, and desirable bottom conditions, the applicant
proposes to relocate the parallel piers further out in the lake so that the identified
habitat areas are on the landward side, behind the piers. Only one access ramp
will occur with each pier so disturbance will be minimized. No dredging will
occur in the habitat areas, nor will there be any clearing of submerged or
emergent vegetation. (Duke Power Lake Management staff has indicated that the
occurrence of buttonbush is primarily within the lake normal operating level
which is between the 757' and 760' contours). In addition, the parallel pier
configurations will "fence off" the shoreline habitat areas, protecting them from
boat traffic, boat beaching, etc. The specific treatment proposed for each of the
Community piers and the Marina is explained in detail below.
Community Piers A&B: These piers cannot be redesigned to be perpendicular to the
shoreline rather than parallel as they will exceed the Duke Power regulation requiring
that piers be no longer than one-third the cove width in which they are placed. Piers
may also not be longer than 120 feet in length. In order to accommodate the concerns
expressed by the reviewing agencies, the piers will be moved away from the shore
approximately twenty (20) additional feet to preserve from disturbance any shallow water
habitat behind the piers. Dredging will not occur between the 755' and the 760' contours
as a consequence of this adjustment to piers A&B. In addition, the shallow water habitat

Charlotte, NC 28203 Fax [phone]

in the narrow back of the cove containing sites A&B identified during the field visit will
not be disturbed.
2. Pier Q This pier cannot be made perpendicular to the shore rather than parallel for the
same reasons that apply to A and B. The pier has been adjusted, however, so that the
from shallow water habitat from the 755' bottom contour to the 760' shoreline contour
will remain undisturbed by dredging activities.
3. Pier E: Duke Power's restrictions requiring pier length not to exceed one-third of the
width of the cove prevent this pier from being perpendicular to the shoreline rather than
parallel. This pier can, however, be positioned so that its backside is at the 754' contour.
The shallow water habitat between the 755' and 760' contours will not be disturbed by
dredging activities. In addition, the shallow area at the narrow back of the cove behind
the pier (shown on the field map as potentially being an environmental area) will remain
undisturbed.
4. Pier F: This pier, if relocated to another position in the cove as suggested and
reconfigured to a perpendicular alignment with the shoreline, would exceed the one-third
of the cove rule. In order to avoid impacting the emergent vegetation growing in the
shallow areas near the shoreline, the pier has been moved forward so that no dredging
will occur between the 755' and 760' contour. This repositioning will leave the area of
emergent vegetation and shallow habitat undisturbed.
5. Piers G and H: In order to minimize disturbance the length of riprap on the outside of
the outermost piers has been reduced to a maximum of 50' in these locations.
6. Pier I: The designated Duke Power Environmental Area in the same cove with this pier
will not be disturbed or otherwise impacted.
7. Pier J: Relocating this pair of perpendicular piers to the north, farther into the cove,
would place them in a position that violates the one-third of the cove rule. The cove
becomes narrow quickly so an alignment which is parallel to the shoreline would place
the pier close to the 760' contour. We propose instead to remove two sets of slips from
the shoreline side of each pier. This moves the start of dredging to a distance of thirty
(30) feet from the 760' contour at the back of the piers and preserves the buttonbush in
the shallow areas. The number of slips at Pier J is therefore reduced from 24 to 20 slips.
8. Pier L: To minimize shoreline disturbance, riprap for this pier will be reduced so that it
extends no more than fifty (50) feet on both sides of the pier.

9. Pier M: This pier cannot be reconfigured to be perpendicular to the shoreline as it will
violate the maximum one-third of the cove rule for length. Instead, the entire pier has
been moved forward so that no dredging will occur between the 755' and the 760'
contours, leaving the shallow habitat areas undisturbed.
10. Pier N: This pier cannot be reconfigured to be perpendicular to the shoreline as it would
violate the maximum one-third of the cove width for length. In order to avoid impacting
the shallow water habitat of buttonbush and sandy bottom, the pier has been moved out
to its maximum allowable position from the 760' contour and four (4) slips have been
removed from the configuration, reducing the total from 20 to 16. In this location, no
dredging for the pier will occur between the 755' and 760' contours.
11. Pier O: The designated Duke Power Environmental Area in the same cove with pier O
will not be impacted or otherwise disturbed by the dredging activities.
12. Pier P: This cove is too narrow to accommodate a pier perpendicular to the shoreline. It
also cannot be moved forward as a parallel pier without exceeding the maximum
allowable length of 120 feet. It has therefore been deleted from the plans.
13. Pier Q: To minimize shoreline disturbance the riprap on both sides of this pier will be
limited to a maximum length of fifty (50) feet.
14. Pier R: To minimize shoreline disturbance the riprap on both sides of this pier will be
limited to a maximum length of fifty (50) feet.
15. Pier S: This pier cannot be reconfigured to be perpendicular to the shoreline without
violating the one-third of the cove rule for maximum length. In order to avoid impacting
the shallow water habitat near the shoreline, this pier has been moved forward so that no
dredging will occur between the 755' and 760' contours. In its revised location, the back
of the pier is thirty-five feet from the 760' contour at its closest point.
16. Pier T: The shallow water habitat in the form of buttonbush, sandy bottom and gravel at
the back of the cove which contains pier T will not be impacted by dredging or otherwise
disturbed. The land area adjacent to this shallow habitat is planned as protected Open
Space in the master Site Plan.
17. Pier U: This pier cannot be reconfigured to be perpendicular to the shoreline as the cove
is too narrow and the one-third for cove of maximum length rule would be violated.
Creating multiple short piers would cause even greater disturbance to the shallow water

habitat near the shore. This pier has instead been relocated forward of its previous
position so that no dredging will occur between the 755' and 760' contour. The back of
the pier is thirty-five (35) from the 760' contour at its closest point.
18. Pier V: The width of the cove in which pier V is located does not permit a perpendicular
configuration of this pier without violating the one-third of the cove width rule for
maximum pier length. The pier has been moved approximately twenty (20) feet farther
out from the 760' contour at the back of the cove. The dredging has also been
reconfigured so that it begins farther from the shoreline so that no dredging will occur
between the 755' and 760' contours. The back of the pier is thirty (30) feet from the 760'
contour at its closest point. It is fifty (50) feet from the 760' contour along the entire
back portion of the cove where the field map from the site visit indicated the existence
of buttonbush and sandy bottom habitat.
19. Pier W: Pier W cannot be reconfigured to be perpendicular to the shoreline because of
the narrowness of the cove in which it is located. A perpendicular pier would violate the
one-third cove width for maximum pier length. In order to avoid impact from pier
dredging to the buttonbush and sandy bottom habitat, the entire pier has been moved
approximately thirty-five (35) feet farther away from the 760' contour at the back of the
cove. At the rear of the cove, where the field map from the site visit indicated the largest
area of desirable habitat, no dredging will occur within fifty (50) feet of the 760' contour.
20. Pier X: The cove in which pier X is located is too narrow to permit a reconfiguration of
this pier to one which is perpendicular to the shoreline. As in the previous cases, a
perpendicular configuration would violate the one-third of cove rule for maximum pier
length. To avoid impacting the buttonbush and sandy bottom habitat, pier X has been
moved away from the shoreline so that no dredging will occur between the 755' and 760'
contours. At the back of the cove, where the site map from the field visit indicated an
area of "excellent habitat," no dredging will occur within forty (40) feet of the 760
contour.
21. Community Marina: The marina area is governed by the same Duke Power regulations
as the community slips but has some additional requirements. A maximum pier length
of one hundred twenty (120) feet cannot be exceeded and the distance between piers
cannot be less than two (2) times the length of the largest slip to allow sufficient room
for boats to exit without colliding. Since the Community Marina will provide slips for
the largest boats (sixteen-foot wide slips, forty feet long) the distance between the piers
will also be the greatest (eighty feet). This accounts for the spacing of the piers along the
shoreline and is the reason for the one-sided piers. The wider slips can easily be at reach

the 120-foot maximum pier length with four slips plus finger piers on one side.
Reconfiguring the piers to make fewer longer piers is therefore not practical. To
avoid impacting stands of buttonbush along the shoreline, the piers have been
extended to their maximum, practical, allowable length. This leaves a wider band of
undisturbed area along the shoreline below the 760' contour. The minimum distance
from the 760' contour to the area of the first slips where dredging will occur is
twenty-six (26) feet. The majority of the piers will have distances of thirty-two (32) to
forty-one (41) feet between the 760' contour and the start of dredging. Shoreline
stabilization at the Marina, if required, will be done with riprap rather than
bulkheading to provide a greater opportunity for aquatic habitat.
OTHER CONCERNS:
• Shoreline Stabilization: Wherever riprap is used for shoreline stabilization at a
Community Pier or at the Marina, it will not extend more than fifty (50) feet from
each side of the pier.
• Upland Disposal: Any upland disposal sites proposed for disposal of dredge spoil
will request prior approval from NCDWQ's Mooresville Regional Office. As
required by the project's current 401 permit, a minimum thirty (30) foot buffer
will be left adjacent to all perennial waters. This requirement will be incorporated
into a conservation easement for any additional 401 permits requested for
dredging. If required, any upland, diked disposal basins will be designed using the
example found in the General Certification for NW16.
Observed Site Disturbance: The site disturbances noted on March 26, 1998 have
been addressed with the appropriate contractors and have been corrected. The
Army Corps of Engineers has been contacted and they have provided the
Nationwide Permits necessary to perform work in wetlands areas for which they
have regulatory responsibility. The shallow water habitat observed along the
north side of golf hole # 18 will not be disturbed below the 760' elevation.
SUMMARY:
The modification made to the Lake Facilities Plan to respond to agency concerns will
result in the number of boat slips at the Community Piers being reduced by eleven (11),

bringing the total number of slips within the project from 569 to 558. Dredging quantities
will be reduced by 5,553 cubic yards, bringing the total dredging from 127,464 cubic yards to
121,911 cubic yards. The amount of riprap will be reduced by 794 lineal feet bringing the
total form 10,280 lineal feet to 9,486 lineal feet.

commitment to providing a high quality, desirable, and environmentally responsible
development will gain your approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Dorneylp
4--
FROM: Eric Fleck.., l?
SUBJECT: "The Pointe" Dredging Project (Iredell-DWQ#980056)
Based on a review of the material provided from NCWRC and the applicant, I have the following concerns
regarding this dredging/pier building project and believe the following points should be incorporated into
the 401 to protect the existing aquatic life use and protect water quality in general:
LIT- Pi "should be deleted from the design. There appears to be plenty of nearby slips available at the
Lnthe nity Tin a approximately 500' feet away.
2? is provided, there is quantification regarding the amount of dredging required for each pier
wever, there is no sounding data supporting the need for both the amount of dredging and the
location of dredging. For minimization/avoidance issues, the 401 should not be issued without this
data.,
i VT rr?de p to shoreline/near shore habitat, community piers at Sites:
E7, V W, ar X should be redesigned to be perpendicular to the shoreline instead of parallel EXCEPT
in the following sites: 1) Pier A, 2) Pier B, and POSSIBLY: Pier E, M, N, S, T, U, V, W, and X). In a
phone conversation with Art Oldham (4/28/98), he noted that due to FERC/Duke Power Regulations
the Piers in some of the more narrow coves must be placed parallel to the shore rather than
perpendicular for safety and navigational purposes. As a potential compromise, Mr. Oldham has
agreed to place these piers parallel of the shore BUT they will be placed offshore of the
buttonbush/shallow water gravel/sand habitats. These piers will be placed approximately 20' offshore
to preserve these environmental zones. The applicant must demonstrate which parallel piers cannot be
redesigned due to the FERC rule and specify (in writing) how far the buttonbush extend from the shore
at these sites and how far the piers will be extended to avoid them.
4) To further reduce impacts to shoreline/nearshore vegetation and sand/gravel bottom, the piers at the
community marina area should be increased in length (from the shore) to reduce the number of
individual piers located in shallow bottom nears hore/shoreline habitat. As designed, these piers are
only a maximum of 7 slips long, while some are 3-5 slips long, while one has 4 slips on one side only.
It seems that impacts could be reduced xtending these piers to incorporate 10-15 slips and making
the "one-sided" 4 slip pier double sided.
L5Y "Environmental Areas" at Site and Site O should not be impacted.
Ill imps heuld be allowed to the shallow water habitat at the rear of the cove containing pier sites A
j P?ier'tes as mentioned in #3 above, should be placed perpendicular to the shore and in such a manner
l/as to avoid all buttonbush (as well as other nears hore/shoreline aquatic vegetation) except for: 1)
Impacts associated with the actual width needed for the pier, and 2) Instances where the applicant can
demonstrate that the parallel piers cannot be redesigned as detailed in #3 above. To further reduce
impacts to nearshore/shoreline shallow bottom sand and gravel habitat as much as possible active
searches at these sites should be made to place piers in areas without gravel/sand bottoms and
buttonbush.

VPiers G and Piers H (double piers) appear to have excessive amounts of riprap proposed (350' and
400' respectively). As designed, Pier G and Pier H will both have approximately 100' of riprap on
either side of the outermost pier. For minimization, there should be a 50' maximum of riprap on either
side of t outermost piers.
9) Pie a single pier) is proposed for 200' of riprap. At 200' approximately 100' of riprap will be on
either side of the pier. For minimization, a maximum 50' of riprap on each side of the pier should be

1 ier R (a single pier) is proposed for 250' of riprap. This will result in approximately 125' of riprap on
eit side of the pier. This should be minimized to 50' of riprap on either side of the pier.
1) or all remaining proposed perpendicular piers (i.e., D, H, I, J, K, and Q), as well as those needing
redesigned (where appropriate) as mentioned in #3 above, the 401 should explicitly limit the maximum
amount of rip-rap placed on either side of a pier to no greater than 50'.
.12) Due to concerns regarding aquatic life, fish spawning, and water quality impacts the following should
? be r ired: 1) No dredging allowed in March, April, May, and June, 2) Dredging should be restricted
ovember, December, January, and February while the lake is typically at its lowest level.
1 To protect emergent vegetation and sand/gravel bottom habitat, no dredging should be permitted from
the 755' to 760' elevation.
14) To protect nearshore/shoreline vegetation on private lakefront lots, deed notifications should be placed
on all lots adjacent to the lake specifying: 1) Any vegetation at or below the 760' contour is the
epland erty of Duke Power and, 2) This vegetation cannot be disturbed.
15 diked disposal basin(s) should be designed following the example found in the General
rtification for NW 16.

7) ditionally, as required by the 401 issued 3/18/98, a 30' buffer must be left adjacent to all perennial
waters. This requirement should be incorporated into a conservation easement for any additional 401
issued for dredging. This was discussed briefly with Art Oldham (via Phone) who noted that Crescent
Resources, Inc. would likely impose covenants and or deed restrictions/conservation easements to
prev t handclearing of the buttonbush and to also protect the existing 30' buffer.
(18)e 401 for this dredging should not be issued until: 1) A revised map of environmental areas is
provided to NCDWQ, or 2) A new site visit is scheduled with the entities below to address potential
unmapped areas of environmental concern. Joe Mickey (NCWRC) has requested that an additional site
visit with Duke Power, DWQ, USFWS, NCWRC, and Crescent Resources personnel be scheduled to
better identify the vegetated "environmental" zones along the shoreline since Duke Power is in the
process of "revising and ground truthing their shoreline maps for Lake Norman".

DWQ Project No. 980006
"The Pointe" dredge Project
Iredell County
On March 26th, myself along with Mr. Joe Mickey and Mr. Ken Hodges with the NCWRC and
Mr. John Ellis with the USF&W Service conducted a site visit (by boat) of the subject property.
Based on information obtained during the site visit, the proposed dredging activity should be able
to conform to the terms and conditions as established in the General Certification. However, as
pointed out in the attached response from Mr. Mickey to the applicant, there are significant
concerns regarding the protection of fisheries habitat that may be effected by the dredging activity.
Based on size alone, this dredging project is possibly the largest that this Office has ever been
asked to permit on Lake Norman. Although from a WQ standpoint impacts to Lake Norman from
the dredging activity are expected to be short term, the overall effects of the dredging, especially
to fish and their nursery areas may be more profound.
Although many of the coves to be dredged have little or no flowing water coming into them, the
emergent vegetation observed in the back of these coves help serve as a filter for any run off
entering the cove. Pollutant removal will become more critical once development of the site has
commenced and the land is disturbed during site preparation. Hopefully, the comments provided
by Mr. Mickey will encourage Crescent Resources to reconsider the placement of some of their
community piers to locations that will minimize impacts to aquatic vegetation. It is our
understanding that the dredging contractor is considering a single site for the location of the upland t
diked disposal basins rather that several sites. This will help minimize the effects of the dredging
activity on the lake.
If you have any questions, please advise.

Subject: Review of "The Point" (formerly known as Queensland) lake facilities plan, Lake
Norman, Iredell County
Dear Mr. Oldham:
This correspondence responds to a request by you for our review and comments
regarding "The Point" golf course, subdivision, marina, and community boat slips on Lake
Norman (FERC #2232) in Iredell County. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) is authorized to comment and make recommendations which relate to the impacts of
this project on fish and wildlife through the Federal License of Water Resource Project Act
(Federal Power Act-16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.), and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Crescent Resources, Inc. proposes to construct "The Point" development on
approximately 1160 acres impacting 18 miles of shorelinle. Project facilities consist of 391
Community Boat Slips in 24 separate locations and 178 Marina Slip in one central location,,
three bridges crossing narrow coves for use by golf vehicles, one causeway crossing for the same
purpose, and a water intake line. Shoreline stabilization associated with the Community Slips
and Marina total 10,280 linear feet of riprap for the 25 locations The amount of proposed
dredgin has been reduced by 82,705 cubic yards, bringing the proposed dredging total to
127,4 ards.? Revised plans have also elimiriaa eMe need for 8,720 Einar feet of
bulkheading associated with shoreline stabilization.
We conducted a site visit on March 26, 1998 with Mr. John Ellis, US Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) and Mr. Mike Parker, NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ). In general we `a
have no concern with the water intake structure, three bridges over narrow coves and one lake ZS-
causeway crossing. However, we are concerned with potential impacts on aquatic resources and
shoreline habitat associated with pier construction and proposed dredging activities at numerous
locations. I have addressed each of the 25 sites with recommendations as follows:
Community pier Sites A, B, C, D, E, G, H, I, K, L, M, O, Q, R, and U - we have no
concerns with these sites as proposed, however, our preference would be that
perpendicular piers instead of parallel piers be used at Sites A, B, C, E, M, and U. This
will reduce shoreline impacts. Also, care should be taken not to disturb shallow water
habitat in the back of the cove containing sites A/B and the desiunated environmental
areas should not be impacted at site I and O.
2. Community pier Site F - change design of this site to a perpendicular pier and move it to
avoid impacting buttonbush growing along the shoreline in this area. This could be
accomplished by placing the pier on the small left point joining the first lot (moving
,,vest).
3. Community pier Site J - move this site to avoid impacting buttonbush along the
shoreline.
4. Community pier Site N - redesign this pier to a perpendicular pier coming off the dam at
the small pond. This parallel shoreline pier as proposed will impact good shallow water
habitat in the form of buttonbush and sandy bottom.
5. Community Marina - no concern with this site provided that any shoreline stabilization
done in this location is with riprap instead of a bulkhead structure. Riprap provides more
aquatic habitat that bulkheads. Some of the perpendicular pier locations have
buttonbush growing along the shoreline, we recommend that these stands of buttonbush
not be disturbed if at all possible.
6. Community pier Site P - this site needs to be moved or redesigned as a perpendicular
pier to reduce impacts. There is good habitat in the form of buttonbush and sandy
bottom at this location. Perhaps these slips could be combined with sites R and Q.
7. Community pier Site S - to avoid impacting buttonbush and the sand and gravel bottom
at this location, the pier should be redesigned to be a perpendicular pier instead of a
parallel shoreline pier.
8. Community pier Site T - there is excellent habitat in the form of buttonbush, sandy
bottom and gravel at this location. Care must be taken to avoid impacting these areas
near the pier site.
9. Community pier Sites V, W, and X - these sites contain excellent habitat in the form of
buttonbush and sandy bottom. Piers should be designed to be perpendicular instead of
parallel to the shoreline in order to reduce impacts to shallow water habitat.
In general, to minimize impacts from proposed dredging activities, we recommend that
no dredging occur during the months of March, April, May and June because of potential
impacts to fish spawning sites. Dredging should be done in the dry if possible when the lake
level is low, this will minimize sedimentation into the lake. We also recommend that no
dredging be permitted from the 755 to 760 foot elevation that contain submerged or emergent
vegetation and a sand or gravel bottom.
During the site visit we also observed several items of concern associated with golf
course construction. Most notable were the lack of silt fences and ground cover at disturbed
sites. Some areas had silt fences, but they were located 10-20 feet above the waters edge,
allowing some sedimentation to reach the lake (especially at holes # 9, 17, 18). At hole # 9,
there was considerable fill in a small creek or ditch channel that led to the lake which should be
removed and erosion controls installed. We are also concerned about the amount of shoreline
clearing that has occurred or will occur at several locations (holes # 17, 18, 20). There appears
? r

to be Rood shallow water habitat along the north side of hole # IS leading to the club house and
in the area of the practice facility. This shallow water habitat should not be disturbed below the
760 foot elevation.
Durinz the site visit we observed may shoreline areas on the project that contained
extensive areas of buttonbush associated \vith a sand and/or gravel bottom. We are concerned
that these areas were not designated as environmental areas on the Duke Power shoreline
management maps. Because good, natural, shallow water habitat is disappearing on Lake
Norman at a rapid rate, we believe that many of these areas will be impacted by future
homeowners, either through hand clearing or private pier construction. In order to protect these
sensitive areas, we recommend that a minimum 25 foot buffer zone be maintained along the
shoreline, possibly through lot deed restrictions. Since lots in these areas were not numbered on
the map, describing their exact location is difficult.
We realize that Duke Power is in the process of revising and ground truthing their
shoreline maps for Lake Norman. However, we are concerned that the areas we perceived as
being environmental might be impacted before the revised shoreline mapping is completed. We
recommend that a site visit be scheduled in the near future with personnel from your office, the
NCWRC, USFWS, DWQ, Duke Power Company and Crescent Resources to identify and
classify possible new environmental/natural sites that might exist on "The Point" before they are
disturbed.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at (336/366-2982).

RE: REV'II?'. / OI? THE POINT (FORMERLY KNOWN AS
QU FF N SLA N D) LAKE FACILITIES PLAN, LAKE NORMAN,
IRI'D 1:I .L COUNTY, NC
Dear John.
During t lie suns mer and fall of 1997 our offices corresponded about a
proposed development called "The Point" (formerly known as "Queensland"),
concerning the development of boat slips, a marina, and related facilities. The
property consisted of over 1160 acres of land and had approximately eighteen
miles of sll,,reline. III our correspondence we sought comments from the NC
Dh,HNR i ?-,t ding om- proposed activities. In your response letter to us of
Julie 27, 1O`);' VOU fo, used your attention on disturbance of wetlands and
indicated that i DW( approval was required for disturbance (see attached copy
of your let i el ; )f 6-27 97). Since that meeting we have obtained the necessary
401 Certification from your Department and Nationwide permits 14 and 26
from the Dep,irtmeni of the Army (see attached copies of 401 Approval and
permits H anti 26).
We have also amended the previously submitted Lake Facilities Plan
which you received in January 1997, to reduce the amount of disturbance
related to t i-cdging for the proposed Marina and Community Boat Slips. More
detailed in \ eat igation: of the bottom conditions observed during periods of low
mater this ?, infer hay e indicated that the amount of proposed dredging can be
reduced bN- 82.705 cubic yards. This brings the proposed dredging from a
previously ?,?,t i mated I otal of 210,169 cubic yards to 127,464 cubic yards. We

have also cl i n1 i elated t Ile need for 8720 lineal feet of bulkheading associated with
shoreline stabilization.
The 1lthrr- proposed facilities will remain the same as in our previous
application. Tliey consist of 391 Community Slips - in 24 separate locations
and 178 M,lrina Slips in one central location, three (3) bridges crossing narrow
coves for tiw b'v golf \-ehicles, one (1) causeway crossing for the same purpose,
and a -,vater intake line. Shoreline stabilization associated with the Community
Slips and 1\11irirna totals 10,280 lineal feet of riprap for the 25 locations.
The accomparnv-ing revised Lake Facilities Plan indicates the location and
type of each of the Community and the Marina slips as well as all the other
proposed facilities. NVe have also included a bound document entitled Lake
Facilities Prollram (2-?7-98) which references the Lake Facilities Plan and
contains cid,ir;,;ed drawings of coach of the proposed slip areas, the limits of
dredging 1(?r c,lch, Mid the amount of riprap shoreline stabilization associated

you described in your application dated March 10, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3103 and 3108. These
certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 26 when the Corps of Engineers
issues them. 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.
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 to send us a new
application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. 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.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters to restrict future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put
in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is
later).
2. A 30 foot vegetated buffer must be left adjacent to all perennial waters.
3. Stonmwater runoff from the golf course must be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers with
no direct discharge into waters.

revised map showing the reduced disturbance to wetlands at The Point. As noted in my
February 10, 1998 letter to Steve Chapin of the Army Corps of Engineers (a copy of which
was sent to you), proposed impact to U.S. Waters and Wetlands has been reduced from the
0.6848 acres requested in our initial submission to .083 acres. This reduction in impact was
based upon additional field verification conducted by Mr. Chapin.
The attached Wetlands Disturbance Plan at 1" = 300' scale delineates the three
locations where road crossings will disturb wetlands (totaling .019 acres) and the five
locations where filling for the golf course will disturb wetlands (totaling .064 acres).
I trust that this information will be sufficient for you to issue us a 401 certification for
this project. Copies of the two Army Corps permits we requested, # 14 and #26, are
attached for your information.
Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,,
Arthur H. Oldham

The proposed disturbance is composed of the following:
1. Road Crossings: Area #2 (on wetlands map) .008 acres
Area # 11 (on wetlands map) .008 acres
Area #25 (on wetlands map) .003 acres
Total
2. Golf Course filling total:
.019 acres
064 acres
GRAND TOTAL ROAD CROSSING AND GOLF: .083 acres
Thank you again for your assistance in confirming this reduced figure for proposed
disturbance. We will notify John Dorney of the North Carolina DEHNR of the revised
acreage as well.

RE: 401 Certification
Dear John,
As agent for Crescent Resources, Inc. we are submitting a Pre-
Construction Notification Application and request for 401 Certification for
"The Pointe," an approximately 1162 acre proposed development in Iredell
County, North Carolina.
As background, on November 30, 1995 Steve Chapin of the Army Corps
of Engineers inspected the wetland/upland boundaries established with flagging
by our wetland/ecological consultant, Dr. Joe Edmisten. His inspection
revealed that the flagging accurately reflected the wetland/upland boundaries
and we subsequently received a letter from Robert W. Johnson of the Asheville
Regulatory Field Office indicating so. All flagged areas were then surveyed and
platted on a property map by ESP Associates according to Mr. Chapin's
instructions. Studies to determine the presence of endangered species and
historic properties or archeological sites were also conducted at this time. These
studies and responses from the appropriate State and Federal agencies concluded
that no endangered, threatened or "of concern" plants or animals were found or
were likely to be on the subject property.
Subsequent land planning of the property was carried out with the intent
of impacting the existing wetlands as little as possible in the layout of a
proposed 18-hole golf course and 924 residential lots.

The total acreage of wetlands within the project is 2.32 acres. The total
proposed disturbance of wetlands, where it was unavoidable, amounts to 0.6848
acres, comprised of .112 acres for three minor road crossings and 0.5728 acres of
filling for the golf course. The proposed disturbance is confined primarily to
the upper ends of narrow drainage channels. In all other areas the wetlands and
an existing pond have been left undisturbed within the golf course or the
project's open space areas.
In addition to your Department, we have contacted the US Fish and
Wildlife Service, the State Historic Preservation Office, and the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission. Their response letters are attached. The
Army Corps of Engineers has been sent copies of this application also.
The map of surveyed, platted wetlands is attached along with a Master
Plan at the same scale. Areas of proposed disturbance of wetlands are shown on
both maps.
If there is any further information you need from us to process this
application, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear Mr. Raymond:
On November 30, 1995, Mr. Steve Chapin of the Asheville Field office
staff met with your representative, Mr. Art Oldham, on your property located
on Lake Norman, near Mayhew, in Iredell County, North Carolina, to determine
the presence of wetlands subject to our regulatory jurisdiction pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The property is an approximately 1,500
acre tract and is referred to as "The Pointe".
On the above referenced date, we inspected wetland/upland boundaries
established with flagging on the property by Dr. Joe Edmisten. Our inspection
revealed that the flagging accurately reflected the wetland/upland boundaries.
Issuance of'Department of the Army authorization must precede any
placement of excavated-or fill material within any wetlands on your property.
Unauthorized activity would be a violation of Federal law. Before you
undertake any work, we strongly suggest that the wetlands be surveyed and
platted on a property map. Such mapping would help you avoid any
unintentional disturbance of wetlands on the site and would-assist your
planning and be essential to any application for a permit which you might
submit. Surveyed wetland lines, shown on property maps, must be field
verified and confirmed in writing by our staff to be acceptable.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Chapin at [phone].

Robert W. Johnson

Subject: Queensland, Lake Norman, Iredell County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Holtzen:
Thank you for the June -12, 1997, letter requesting -W.Sishz and
Wildlife Service (Service.) comments regarding the -pot'ntlft"? F
environmental .impacts of., the Queensland Pt6 ect 'on Lace o xnari,.
Iredell County; NC. ..These.,comments are provided in acco?0a ad
;
with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Aet Q1.:;3_;
Stat. 401, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and SeictZion 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C 1531-1543).
Based on our records and the information you provided, there are
no Federally-listed or.proposed endangered or threatened plant or
animal species in the impact area of the project._.Therefore, the
requirements of Section-7 of the Endangered Species Act are
fulfilled. However, obligations under Section 7.6f 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 which was not considered in'
this review; or, (3) a. new species is listed or critical habitat
determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Bulkhead G and bridge C are adjacent to and crossover,
respectively, an area delineated as environmental on the
Shoreline Management Plan. It is the Service's understanding
that Duke Power does not allow these types of ac6vitie_s' to occur
in areas classified as "environmental" to protect Viater quality
and fish and wildlife habitat. You should confer with Duke
Power's Lake Management personnel about these activities and
revise the Lake Facilities Plan accordingly. The Service also
recommends that Crescent Resources notify prospective buyers of
adjacent to other environmental areas of the limited uses which
are allowed within the project boundary.
If any-of the proposed work occurs in or adjacent to wetlands and
streams, measures should be taken to avoid and minimize adverse
environmental impacts. Also, we recommend that you consult with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at 151 Patton Avenue, Room 143,
Asheville, NC 28801-5006, regarding the need for Department of
the Army permits to perform work in wetlands for which they may
have regulatory responsibility.
Based on our initial review, the proposed action may impact fish,
and wildlife resources. However, because of staffing
limitations, we have elected not to conduct a field inspection of
the project and no further action is anticipated. If, prior to
permit issuance, further information becomes available which
affects our position, we will forward supplemental comments to
your office. Under no condition should this response be
construed as a "no objection" report.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please
contact John Ellis at [phone] (ext. 26) or-.?.t the above
address.
Sincerely,
Oohn M. He ner
Field Supervisor
