Dear Mr. Kasey: C3 -
On 26 May, 1999 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your
application regarding your plan to fill streams and/or wetland for the purpose of developing the
Kasey Apartments site in Buncombe County. Approval from DWQ is required to disturb these
wetlands. In particular as described in 15A NCAC 2B .0502, we will require you to locate all
streams and ponds on the property. Please show these on legible maps of suitable scale (for
instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0500. A location map is also needed.
Please call me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would require copies of our
rules or procedural materials.

SITE PLAN
There will be 0.20 wetlands impacted at this site. Mitigation will be done onsite through a 0.13 acre constructed
wetland (see Figures 2 and 3). And 0.40 acres cf existing wetlands will be enhanced. Enhance will take place
through hydrology and plant enhancement on 0.20 acre, the area parallel to the wetland construction (see Site
Map). The remainder of the enhancement will take place on the upper edge of the property.
Constructed Wetlands
Wetlands act as nature's kidney's, filtering various pollutants from water. Constructed or artificial wetlands are
shallow pools that create growing conditions suitable for the growth of marsh plants. Constructed wetlands are
designed to control stormwater flows and pollution. Constructed wetlands can provide a moderate to very high
level of pollutant removal relative to other BMPs. They are especially effective in removing suspended solids, total
phosphorous, sediment-bound trace metals, bacteria, and oil and grease. Wetlands remove pollutants through the
processes of settling, filtration, biological uptake by aquatic vegetation and through other biochemical processes.
Wetlands also create fish and wildlife habitat and provide aesthetic benefits. They can be an attractive addition to
a development and enhance property value.

The enhancement of the exisiting wetlands will take place through the hydrologic Todification of the site and
particularly through the addition of numerous native wetland plant types. We plan to plant such species as Spike
Bulrush, Cinnamon Fern, Royal Fern, Belgrass, White Waterlily, Yellow Cowlily, Arrowhead, Broad leaf Cattail
and Pickerelweed.

SITE PLAN
There will be 0.20 wetlands impacted-at this site. Mitigation will be done onsitethrough a 0.13 acre constructed
wetland (see Figures 2 and 3). And 0.40 acres of existing wetlands will be enhanced Bnhance will take place
through hydrology and plant enhancement on 0.20 acre, the area parallel to the wetland construction (see Site
Map). The remainder of the enhancement will take place on the upper edge of the property.
Constructed Wetlands
Wetlands act as nature's kidney's, filtering various pollutants from water. Constructed or artificial wetlands are
shallow pools that create growing conditions suitable for-the-growth of marsh-plants. Constructed wetlands are
designed to control stormwater flows and pollution. Constructed wetlands can provide a moderate to very high
level of pollutant removal relative to other BMPs. They are especially effective in removing suspended solids, total
phosphorous, sediment-bound trace metals, bacteria, and oil and grease. Wetlands remove pollutants through the
processes of settling, filtration, biological uptake by aquatic vegetation and through other biochemical processes.
Wetlands also create fish and wildlife habitat and provide aesthetic benefits. They can be an attractive addition to
a development and enhance property value.
