Re: Sun_Ridve_ Residential Devtimment - ±
Dear Sirs
On behalf of my client, Mr. Pat McDonald of Sunchase American Ltd., I am requesting your review of a
very well planned project that avoids and minimizes impacts to wetlands and important streams. As a result
of a preliminary site analysis, sensitive land planning and review, the forested wetlands, streams, and natural
areas have been incorporated into the overall design in a way which we believe will create develop a pleasant
and highly marketable residential community. A stormwater treatment facility has also been provided to meet
local watershed requirements. Approximately 80% of the delineated streams and wetlands on the site are not
impacted by the development of this project. The delineated wetlands and streams on the site include +
1,700 If of perennial and permanent streams, ± 290 If of minor intermittent channels and + 0.79 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands. The perennial and permanent streams were determined to support aquatic life such
as fish, bullfrog tadpoles, and crayfish. The minor channels will most likely = support these organisms. The.
streams were evaluated based on important characteristics such as persistent pools; evidence of
macro-invertebrates; evidence of wildlife utilizing the stream; and channel substrate. Additional studies were
also conducted to evaluate the habitat of the intermittent and intermittent to perennial streams. As depicted
on the attached plans and in this report, the developer has taken great care in avoiding the perennial stream
and with important aquatic value and the adjacent wetlands. Proposed impacts are limited to + 0.20 acres of
wetlands; 290 If of unimportant streams. All the streams that are likely permanent or perennial will not be
impacted
BACKGROUND
The site is within a drainage area of headwater tributaries of Lake Norman (Water Classification - WS-IV) in
the Catawba Basin. The majority of the site is a moderately sloping woodland and former agricultural land.
Jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters were determined to be present on the site primarily in conjunction
with the headwater tributary. The proposed residential development is on approximately 20 acres in Iredell
County near Mooresville, North Carolina. This area of Iredell County is experiencing rapid economic and
population growth especially in conjunction with the Charlotte area. Current land use in the vicinity is single
family homes, agricultural areas, and undeveloped woodland. There are approximately 1.15 acres of
jurisdictional surface waters and wetlands on the project site. The jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this
site were be found to have very high value and function regarding water storage, pollution removal, bank
stabilization, aquatic life resources utilizing Guidance for Rating the Values of Wetlands in North Carolina -
Fourth Version.
Sun Ridge, Page 2, June 14, 1998
Mr. Steve Chapin - USACE, Mr. John R. Dorney - NCDENR
Wetlands and streams which will not be disturbed will be protected during construction from damage due to
construction traffic, drainage and other forms of disturbance. The remaining enhanced by utilizing the storm
drainage system which will increase their water storage, pollution removal, bank stabilization, and aquatic
life functions.
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined according
to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with Appendices.
Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA Soil
Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the Routine
On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to
make a positive wetland determination, indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland
hydrology were identified as described in the manual. The wetland boundary was marked in the field by
Leonard S. Rindner, PWS, Environmental Planning Consultant. The surveyed map has been used for
planning and for permitting purposes.
?kgglafion
The forested headwater wetland areas are dominated by Facultative, Facultative Wet, and Obligate species.
Trees include red maple, sweetgum, willow oak, hornbeam, and green ash. Understory and herbaceous strata
includes silky dogwood, alder, spicebush, smilax, microstegium, sedges, soft rush, and others. Where the
forest has been removed or the soils are more saturated Obligate species such as black willow are present.
The site includes Chewacla soils. These soils are map units which may have inclusions of hydric soils
according to the Soil Conservation Service (now Natural Resource Conservation Service) , Technical
Guide-Section II-A-2, June 1991.
The wetland areas on this site are the result of a primarily a spring, captured surface runoff, and a high
seasonal water table over a clayey subsoil.

WETLANDS PERMITTING AND MITIGATION
The layout minimizes impacts to the perennial tributary and intermittent tributaries which exhibit important
characteristics such as persistent pools and/or saturated channel bottom; evidence of macro-invertebrates;
reduced soils; algae; hydrophytic vegetation in or adjacent to the channel; evidence of wildlife utilizing the
stream; and sandy to gravelly channel substrate. Except for temporary construction and development
impacts, we believe that the proposed project will not cause significant impacts to the ecological functions or
values of Jurisdictional Waters of the U. S.
Avojdanc .yM inimization. an Mitigation
Best Management Practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. These will
include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Temporary Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Preconstruction meetings as necessary
d) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and
natural areas to be preserved.
e) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
f) Wetlands to be preserved will be clearly marked prior to construction to prevent accidental
damage. The contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland damage not
permitted according to plans and specifications. Preconstruction meetings shall be held if necessary
with representatives of the USACE and the NCDWQ.
g) Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat,
however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid recovery.
h) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control
structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and
aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface
waters,
i) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
PROPOSED COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
A mitigation plan has been developed for a "no net loss" of wetland habitat, value, and function to the extent
feasible on this site. The &ad of this plan is to preserve, protect, the extents of the remaining existing
wetlands and streams.
Sun Ridge, Page 4, June 14, 1998
Mr. Steve Chapin - USACE, Mr. John R. Dorney - NCDENR
Hydrophytic vegetation will be utilized to restore the vegetation in the buffers, wetlands, and
stream banks, that is removed to allow if necessary. Vegetation will include bottomland hardwoods,
scrub/shrub, and herbaceous vegetation.
All new plantings will consist FACW and OBL species. Planting will be conducted in the spring and
the fall. Annual ryegrass or other annual vegetation will be utilized in order to provide temporary
stabilization during the summer and winter months or until planting times become available, During planting
wetlands and surface waters will be protected from erosion and sedimentation. Control structures such as
sedimentation traps, siltation barriers, and/or at a minimum silt fence will be utilized as necessary.
Streams will be protected from construction impacts and siltation. Wetland areas not to be
disturbed will be clearly marked and barricaded if required.
Mitigation has not been provided for streams determined unimportant and for intermittent streams
that did not have organisms such as fish, crayfish, and bullfrog tadpoles. Although mitigation is not provided
for these streams the developer has taken significant steps in developing the plans to minimize impacts to
streams and wetlands on the project to balance the sites economic viability, site planning requirements,
marketing issues, engineering requirements, local zoning conditions, and the environmental consequences.
Employment of strict erosion and sediment control procedures will be specified to avoid impacts to water
quality. Existing wetlands and surface waters and buffer areas will be protected from erosion and
sedimentation during construction and installation of the mitigation sites. Control structures such as
sedimentation traps, siltation barriers, and/or at a minimum silt fence will be utilized as necessary. The
preserved streams and wetlands will be protected from future impacts by the applicant or by a group
designated by the applicant for this purpose. Development of these areas will be deed restricted in
accordance with NCDWQ requirements.
State Protected, Spccies
The Carolina Darter (Etheostoma collis) is a fish that inhabits small streams such as those found in the
project area. This species has a federal status of Proposed Special Concern and a state status of Special
Concern. The species prefers small clear streams of less than 15' width with moderate to swift current and a
sand/gravel benthic composition. It apparently tolerates a wide range of water quality conditions and
vegetation types adjacent to the'stteams and appears resistant to pollution. (E. Menhinick). Therefore, strict
adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the construction
period in order to control degradation of water quality.,
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of headwater wetlands, and perennial and intermittent
tributaries. A variety of wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles,
amphibians, fish, insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and
sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation
of water quality downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Short term construction impacts,
primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent
practicable to promote rapid recovery. Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved sedimentation
and erosion control plan. Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other
erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and
aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface waters.
Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live"
or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened. Aquatic resources
are expected to be enhanced through the restoration of wetland areas that flood and pond for longer
durations.

Mr. Steve Chapin - USACE, Mr. John R. Dorney - NCDENR
CONCLUSION
The approximate 20 acre residential development has been designed to balance the site's economic viability
with its environmental value. The goal of the site plan and mitigation plan is to help balance the
environmental consequences of this development by preserving to the extent feasible the most valuable
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. on the site. Great care will be taken to minimize further impacts to
wetlands and streams. The undisturbed streams and wetland areas will be preserved by the applicant or by a
group designated by the owner for this purpose.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your
consideration.
