Withdraw of Notification Application
Dear Mr. Dorney:
In response to comments recieved from Mike Parker of the NC Division of Water Quality, Mooresville, NC office,
concerning the stream impacts proposed for the above, referenced project. We have decieded to further minimize
our impacts by removing lots encroaching the stream and thus eliminating the need for fill and pipe the stream.
We believe this new.layout will be acceptable. Since our total stream impact will now be 120" we respectfully
withdraw our PRE-CONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION PERMIT dated March 2 1999:
Please review the enclosed map for the changes to the above referenced project. Feel free to call me with any
questions or comments which you may have.
Thank You!
Sincerely,

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Lindsey McAlpine
McAlpine Co., Inc.
6725D Fairview Rd.
Charlotte N.C. 28210
Dear Mr. McAlpine:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 120 feet
of streams for the purpose of residential development at Highland Park subdivision, as you described in your application dated 8
April 1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that-this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 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 Water shed 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 you may be required 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 on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas
within 50 feet of all streams and ponds to notify the state in order to assure compliance for 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. Applicant is required that any stream fill which exceeds a total of 150 linear feet for this entire project (including this approval)
will require Certification from DWQ and may require mitigation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within
60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This
certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. McAlpine:

NC ENR
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF

April 19, 1999
DWQ Project # 990233
Mecklinburg County
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.01
acres of /430 feet of streams wetlands located at Highland Subdivision in Mecklenburg County.; 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, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 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. Specifically can you construct your development and limit stream impacts to 150 feet or less?
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 as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h). Your mitigation proposal is insufficient because none
was proposed.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to
me and one copy to Mr. Mike Parker, Mooresville Regional Office at Interchange Bldg. 59 Woodfin Place
28801. If we do not hear from you in three 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.

Comments:
A preliminary review of this project was conducted prior to the submittal of the 401 application. In this
review, the applicant's engineer (}Sevin Vogle with Land Design Engineering) was advised that the
proposed site lay-out did not attempt to avoid/minimize the proposed impacts to two stream
channels with aquatic functions (crayfish). An alternative plan was suggested, however, the project
was submitted without making the recommended changes. Prior to this Office recommending denial
of the Certification request, Mr. Vogle consulted with his client (the applicant), and has indicated by
phone that the project will be redesigned to reduce the total stream impacts to < 150 linear feet.
Therefore, pending receipt of the revised site plan showing impacts reduced to < 150 linear feet , a

Re: Highland Park Subdivision

Impacts Minimization Narrative
Deai Mr. Dorney:
The measures that were taken to minimize the stream impacts with this project were put into the planning process
at the very first stages of the design process„ The subdivision is bisected.into two distinct regions to maintain the
existing stream system which divides the site. The McAlpine Company worked closely with the Charlotte
Mecklenburg Planning Commission to minimize roadway crossings, as planning staff moved for more connectivity
thru the site, and thus was able to minimize further potential impacts. Ultimately, the roadway and lot layout
finalized in the design of the project was the most economically feasible while minimizing; the impacts to the
streams. As you can see; we effectively avoided impacts to approximately 2000 LF of "important" streams. T_hs,,
onlyalternative to further minimize impacts would be to delete lots from the current-plan. This would greatly affect
'tlie economic viability-of this project.
Please review the enclosed Pre-Construction Notification Application for the above referenced project for approval
or comments. Feel free to call me with any questions or comments which you may have as we would like to begin
construction as quickly-as possible.
Thank You!

Indicate Which of the following apply:
There are waters of the U.S. on the above described property which have been accurately flagged and delineated. We
strongly suggest that the flagged lines be surveyed. The surveyed lines must be verified by our staff before the
Corps will make a final jurisdictional determination on your property.
Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identificationand delineationof your wetlands
cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to employ a consultant to obtain a more timely delineation
of the wetlands. Once your consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property, Corps staff will review it, and,
if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for final approval by the Corps. The Corps
will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property without an approved survey.
X _ The waters of the U.S. your propertyhave been identifiedand the limits of Corps jurisdiction have been explained
to you. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. Please note that the waters of the U.S. on
the property include stream channels and a farm pond. The stream channels that are tributaries to the main channel
have been determined by us not to have important aquatic function and therefore, no notification will be required
to us for any impacts to these channels. If you plan to drain and fill the pond, then written authorization will
be required.
There are no wetlands present on the above described property which are subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,
this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed three years from the date of this notification.
The submitted survey plat dated * for the above referenced property accurately reflects the limits of
waters and wetlands on the property. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determinationof the limits of waters and wetlands may be relied upon for a period not to exceed 5 years from the
date of the survey plat.
Placement of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a Department of the Army permit is in most cases a
violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 13I1). A permit is not required for work on the property restricted
entirely to existing high ground. If you have any questions regarding the Corps of Engineers regulatory program, please

Kevin:
Based on a site visit on February 12, 1999, 1 have determined that the streams noted "A" and "B" on the
attached plan could be subject to minimization and mitigation requirements by the USACE and the
NCDWQ
Stream "A"
This stream will likely be confirmed as having important aquatic value by the USACE. Characteristics
include persistent pools, riffle and pool complexes (a "special aquatic site"), small fish and crayfish: in the
lower portions, amphibians and macro-invertebrates: evidence of wildlife utilizing the stream; and,rocky, .
gravelly, and sandy channel substrate. Stream "A" is also lined with forested vegetation which is also. an
important attribute. This stream would be subject to NCDWQ minimization and mitigation requirements as
well.
Waffl-!K
This stream is small stream that flows through pasture and has been distur)ed by cattle. Unlike stream "ii" it
has a sandy to muddy substrate. Based on NCDWQ guidelines, the channel has the characteristics that could
result in minimization and mitigation requirenents by both the NCDWQ and/or the USACE. Characteristics
included a. distinctive and continuous bed which varies from the surrounding vegetation; hydric. soil and
hydrophytic vegetation (FACW and 08L) adjacent to the channel; etc. This stream had a very healthy
population of aquatic insects and crayfish.
The charnels and ditches beyond the blue and yellow flag appear to unimportant intermittent. to ephemeral
streams. Although insects were present in these channels, crayfish, tadpoles, and fish were not present on the
day we evaluated the site. Portions of these channels are also subject to review and. verification by the
NCDWQ if they have been determined jurisdictional ("unimportant" or "important") by the USACE.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

For your information the .following are potential regulatory issues:
The USACE and/or the NCDWQ in this case may request a minimization analysis to determine if
the stream impacts can be reduced below the 150 if threshold.
The NCDWQ may request analysts to determine if the stream can, be relocated before approving a. .
permit to pipe and provide mitigation utilizing the fee. Relocation would need to be bio-engmeered.
Rio-engineering includes establishing meanders, riffle-pools, a naturalistic substrate on. the s"Um bottom,
stabilizing ibe banks with riparian vegetation, and buffers.
If a permit is authorized - there is potential of participating in recently created state weds nd
Restoration Program (WRP) for wetland and stream restoration to meet NCDWQ requirements abd the
USACE requirements. The fee is based $125/lf for streams. C=cmUy, stream mitigation :begins at. a.
2:1(USACE) ratio, however a 1:1 ratio may be possible: due to the disturbed nature ofthe existing streams.
Deed restrictions will likely be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters
or areas within 30 feet of streams and ponds to notify the state in order to assure compliance far future
wetland and/or waters impacts as part of the 401 Water Quality Certification issued by NCDWQ.
Permits trust meet standard and general conditions, i.e. endangered species, historic properties, and
other particular conditions. Comments are possible with an application from USFWS, SHPO (Statt Hiatoris
Preservation Office), and other agencies.
dtl?' Pprmitt?ng-1ASn?
Current regulations prevent the loss of more than 500 if of "important" stream channels or. more
than 3 acres of wetlands by Nationwide Permit #Z6. Impacts over these thresholds would requirea more
complex individual Permit Review.
Pre-construction notitcative to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the. North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) is not required if impacts are less than 1/3 acre of
jurisdictional waters and less than 150 linear feet of stream. beds and are above headwaters and no, other
Nationwide Permit is required.
In order to have a valid permit, a pre-construction notification is required to the USACE and the
NCDWQ for impacts to streams (important or unimportant).
P
Mr. Kevin Vogel, Page 2
February 20, 1999
- In some cases the USACE has determined that impacts on parcels subdivided froth larger. tracts are
to be considered cumulatively. If this is the case than the thresholds may not apply. Therefore, wetland and
stream impacts may be considered in relation to previously authorized permits.
Incorporating the wetlands and stream areas into lots (i.e. backyard) is acceptable as long as there,
is adequate space to build the house and yard. Wetlands and streams in lots will be sect to deed
restrictions, conservation easements, or similar mechanisms.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require further explanation.
Thank you.
