A NWP No. 29 (SAC-2009-00545)was issued for the project on April 27, 2009 (attached). The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) conducted a site visit on April 24, 2009 and a request for additional information letter was issued on April 28, 2009 (NCDWQ Project Number 09-0306). It was not possible to respond to the comments within the time required, therefore the project was withdrawn. CWS is hereby reapplying for a WQC No. 3705 for this project, and applying for changes to the NWP No. 29. The comments arising from the field visit are addressed in this reapplication. These include an additional driveway crossing located on parcels that were not part of the original project area, and temporary impacts associated with septic drain fields. NORTH CAROLINA • SOUTH CAROLINA WWW.CWS-INC.NET The Oaks at Camden October 7, 2009 Nationwide Permit No 29 CWS Proiect No. 2008-2508 Current Land Use The current land use for the project area is agricultural with large adjacent wooded areas. Dominant vegetation within the project area consists of white oak (Quercus alba), red maple (Acer rubrum), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), green catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), and common blackberry (Rubus argutus). According to the Soil Survey of Union County', on-site soils consist of Baden channery silt loam (BaB and BaC), Baden channery silty clay loam (BdB2 and BdC2), Goldston very channery silt loam (GoE), and Chewacla silt loam (ChA). Baden and Goldston soils are well-drained and exhibit moderate permeability, while Chewacla soils are somewhat poorly drained and exhibit moderate permeability. Chewacla soils are listed by the NRCS as having potential inclusions of hydric soil for Union County2. Jurisdictional Delineation On March 6, 2007 CWS's Matt Jenkins, WPIT and Paul Bright delineated (flagged in the field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)3 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheets representative of Streams A - C, E, H, J and K are enclosed (SCP1 - SCP7). This delineation included the subject property and an additional adjacent tract which is not included in this permit submittal (Figure 1, enclosed) The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are six jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A, B, E, H, J, and K), two jurisdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA and BB), and one jurisdictional open water area (Pond A) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Wetlands AA and BB as well as non jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DPI - DP2). On-Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. include Stewarts Creek, Richardson Creek, and unnamed tributaries to Stewarts Creek and Richardson Creek. Stewarts Creek. and Richardson Creek are within the Yadkin River basin. (HU# 03040105)4 and are classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ. On-Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were surveyed using a sub-meter GPS unit and total approximately 3.02 acres (131,551 square feet). Linear footage and acreage of on-site jurisdictional waters are summarized in Table 1. 1 United States Department of Agriculture, 1980.

USACE Stream Quality Assessment scores for these chamnels ranged from 49 to 65 out of a possible 100 points and from 30.5 to 41.5 out of 71 possible points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form, indicating perennial status (SCP1, SCP4, and SCP7, enclosed). Due to evidence of year-round flow, Perennial Streams A, B, E, H, J, and K were classified as perennial Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs) according to USACE/EPA guidance. Photographs of Perennial Streams J and A are enclosed as Photographs A and B, respectively. Unimportant Intermittent Streams Unimportant Intermittent Streams B and E are located in the southern and northern portions of the property respectively (Figure 1, enclosed). These channels typically exhibited average ordinary high water widths of 1 to 3 feet, intermittent flow, and substrate consisting of silt to fine gravel. USACE Stream Quality Assessment scores for these channels ranged from 26 to 45 out of a possible 100 points and from 23.5 to 25.5 out of 71 possible points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form, indicating intermittent status (SCP3 and SCP6, enclosed). Due to evidence of flow for less than three consecutive months a year, Unimportant Intermittent Streams B and E were classified as Non- Relatively Permanent Waters (Non-RPWs) according to USACE/EPA guidance. Photographs of Unimportant Intermittent Non-RPW Streams E and B are enclosed as Photographs C and D. Wetlands Wetlands AA and BB are located in the southeast portion of the project area and are approximately 0.16 and 0.36 acre in size, respectively (Figure 1, enclosed). These floodplain wetland areas are hydrologically connected to Perennial Streams A and K. Dominant vegetation within these areas includes river cane (Arundinaria gigantea), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), ironwood The Oaks at Camden October 7, 2009 Nationwide Permit No. 29 CWS Project No 2008-2508 (Carpinus caroliniana), and various sedges (Carex spp.). These areas exhibited low chroma soils (2.5Y 5/2), many distinct mottles (7.5YR 4/4), inundation from 0 to 36 inches, drainage patterns, sediment deposits, water-stained leaves, and saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representative of Wetlands AA and BB is enclosed (DPI). A photograph of Wetland AA is enclosed as Photograph E. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representative of on-site non jurisdictional upland areas is also enclosed (DP2). Open Water Pond A is located in the southeast portion of project area and is approximately 0.13 acre in size. This open water area is hydrologically connected to Wetland BB. A photograph of Pond A is enclosed as Photograph F. Agency Correspondence Cultural Resources A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on March 5, 2007 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. In a response letter, dated March 28, 2007 (enclosed), the SHPO stated "based on the topographic and hydrological situation, we have determined that there is a very high probability that archeological sites exist in the project area". The SHPO archeologist responsible for Union County stated that this assertion was made based on landform rather than known occurrences. Protected Species A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on March 5, 2007 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. In a response letter, dated March 12, 2007 (enclosed), the NCNHP stated that they have "no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or significant natural heritage areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area." Purpose and Need for the Project The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 114 acres of property into a low density single-family residential development comprised of 75 lots. This project will provide residential housing to an area of Union County that is experiencing significant population growth due to proximity of the City of Monroe and the City of Charlotte. Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters are necessary to provide roadway access to the site. Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Construction of this project will completely avoid any impacts to on-site jurisdictional wetland areas. The number of stream crossings, and the impacts associated with each crossing have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable (over 95% of the linear footage of on-site streams has been avoided). Impervious coverage for the proposed subdivision will be less than 24% and includes roads (3.8 acres), and houses and driveways (23.5 acres). Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. All stream work will be conducted in the dry. 4 The Oaks at Camden October 7, 2009 Nationwide Permit No. 29 CWS Proiect No 2008-2508 Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters Unavoidable permanent impacts to on-site stream channels total approximately 1136 linear feet of perennial stream channel and approximately 70 linear feet of unimportant intermittent stream channel. Impacts are the result of culvert and rip rap placement, and grading activities associated with two roadway crossings and a driveway crossing. There are also 12 linear feet of unavoidable temporary impacts associated with septic line crossings. These impacts are temporary in nature and all impacted areas will be returned to their pre-impact condition. Unavoidable impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters are summarized in Table 2 below. Impacts to Perennial Stream A are the result of a road crossing (Figure 3, enclosed), a private driveway crossing (Figure 4, enclosed), and an existing gravel driveway crossing (Figure 5, enclosed). Impacts associated with the road crossing include the installation of 40 linear feet of culvert and 26 linear feet of rip-rap apron. An existing approximately 20 linear foot off-site driveway culvert will be removed (Figure 3) resulting in a net loss of 46 linear feet of stream channel for the crossing. Impacts associated with the private driveway crossing (Figure 4, enclosed) include 40 linear feet of culvert and 30 linear feet of rip-rap apron. Impacts associated with the existing gravel driveway crossing (Figure 5, enclosed) include 20 linear feet of 24"culvert.Unavoidable impacts to Perennial Stream A total 136 linear feet. Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream B are the result of a road crossing (Figure 6,. enclosed). Impacts include 48 linear feet of culvert and 22 linear feet of rip-rap apron. Unavoidable permanent impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream B total 70 linear feet. In addition, there will be 3 linear feet of temporary impacts to Perennial Stream B. These temporary impacts are the result of a septic line crossing (Figure 7, enclosed). A typical cross-section of the septic line crossing is enclosed as Figure 8. These impacts are temporary in nature and all impacted areas will be returned to their pre-impact condition. Unavoidable temporary impacts to Perennial Stream E are the result of two septic line crossings (Figure 7, enclosed). These septic crossing impacts total 3 linear feet each. A typical cross-section of the septic line crossings is enclosed as Figure 8. These impacts are temporary in nature and all impacted areas will be returned to their pre-impact condition. Unavoidable temporary impacts to Perennial Stream E total 6 linear feet. Unavoidable temporary impacts to Perennial Stream K are the result of a septic line crossings (Figure 7, enclosed) and total 3 linear feet. A typical cross-section of the septic line crossing is enclosed as Figure 8. These impacts are temporary in nature and all impacted areas will be returned to their pre- impact condition. Unavoidable temporary impacts to Perennial Stream K total 3 linear feet. The Oaks at Camden October 7, 2009 Nationwide Permit No. 29 CWS Proiect No. 2008-2508 Table 2.

Compensatory Mitigation Construction of this project has limited the amount of perennial stream impacts do not exceed 150 linear feet and completely avoided impacts to jurisdictional wetland and open water areas. Therefore, no mitigation is required for this project. Our client, Ron R. Rushing Construction, proposes to preserve all remaining on-site streams with 30-foot stream buffers, protected by deed restriction. In addition, approximately 15.3 acres of buffer preservation is being proposed for this project. This buffer includes Wetlands AA and BB, Pond A, and the avoided portions of Perennial Streams A and E (Figure 3, enclosed).

Channel Sinuosity: Straight -Occasional Bends X -Frequent Meander -Very Sinuous -Braided Channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 65 Comments: Evaluator's Signature Date This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in order to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change - version 05/03.

Based on the topographic and hydrological situation, we have determined that there is a very high probability that archaeological sites exist in the project area. We recommend that, if any earth moving activities are scheduled to take place, a comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist to identify and evaluate the significance of any archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project. Please note that we now request consultation with the Office of State Archaeology to discuss appropriate field methodology prior to tl)e archaeological field investigation. If an archaeological field investigation is conducted, two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report, as well as one copy of the appropriate site forms, should be forwarded to us for review and comment as soon as they are available and well in advance of any earth moving activities. A list of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed interest in contract work in North Carolina is available at ,vww.arch.dcr.state.nc.us/consults. The archaeologists listed, or any other experienced archaeologists may be contacted to conduct the recommended survey. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preserv:I!ion Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Thank you for your cooperation and considerations. If you have any questions concerning the above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-733-4763.

Ross Jr., Secretary Subject: Lake Twitty Site - Proposed Residential Housing Development; Old Camden Road, Union County CWS Project No. 2007-1777 Dear Mr. Bright: The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or significant natural heritage areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area. Although our maps do not show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas. You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the quad map. NC OneMap now provides digital Natural Heritage data online for free. This service provides site specific information on GIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species occurrences and Significant Natural Heritage Areas. The NC OneMap website provides Element Occurrence (EO) ID numbers (instead of species name), and the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage Program for detailed information. This service allows the user to quickly and efficiently get site specific N HP data without visiting the NHP workroom or waiting for the Information Requast to be answered by NHP staff. For more information about data formats and access, visit <www.nconemap.com/data.html>, or email NC OneMap at <dataq@ncmail.net>.
