APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, WRP
Mr. David Edwards
Bluegreen Corp.
451 River House Road
Bolivia, NC 28422
Dear Mr. Edwards:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 2,036 linear feet
of streams (0.388-acres of waters) for the purpose of constructing a residential and golf course community at the Harris
Tract on Big Woods Road (SR1716) near Jordan Lake, as you described in your application dated November 5, 1999 (and
as corrected on April 27, 2000). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Numbers 3102, 3103 and 3108. These certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permits
Number 13, 14 and 26 upon issuance by Corps of Engineers. 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 Certification replaces one issued
to you on June-23, 2000.
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 for a new
certification. 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). 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 remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters 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. A final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this Office before the impacts specified in this
Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications of stormwater management
facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Practices
Manual for the (3) three largest tributaries leaving the property (Impacts A, G and K). All other small tributaries leaving
the property shall have stormwater management facilities designated to remove at least 50% TSS according to the most
recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Practices Manual. A separate management plan must be proposed for
the golf clubhouse designed to remove at least 35% TSS at the clubhouse site provided that the runoff is then directed
through an 85% TSS removal structure prior to leaving the project. Also, before any permanent building is occupied in a
given watershed, the stormwater management facility for that specific watershed as approved by this Office, must be
constructed and operational. Constructed wetlands or ponds must be constructed on all three largest tributaries prior to
exiting the site. Written DWQ approval is needed for these plans. There shall be no direct discharge of stormwater from
golf course storm drainage piping system to any stream.
3. Additional written approval is needed from DWQ for a mid column, minimum flow (7Q10) release plan from all wet
ponds. If the (7Q10) release rate is calculated to be zero, a minimum release rate is not required.
4. All Sedimentation and Erosion Control measures for all development activities within the project shall conform to 15A
NCAC 4B .0024 (b)-(e)(i.e., High Quality water standards). In addition, uncovered disturbed areas for roadway and.
utility construction shall be limited to a maximum of 20 acres at anytime within each of the three major tributary

watersheds for the project. A revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan must be submitted to the N.C. Division of
Land Resources (attn: Mr. John Holley, Raleigh Regional Office) and be approved prior to any wetland impacts.
5. A minimum 30-foot vegetation buffer must be established and protected among all perennial streams shown on the most
recent version of the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic map (approximately at the crossing for hole No.S) and along
streams determined to be perennial by USGS methodology and excepted by Chatham County as perennial streams.
DWQ shall be copied with this plan within 90 days of the date of this Certification. This submittal must include written
conformation from Chatham County regarding perennial stream buffers for their Water Supply Protection Ordinance.
Development in this buffer zone shall be limited to water dependent structures or as otherwise outlined in 15A NCAC
2B .0216(3)(b)(I)(G).
6. Tree removal within 30 feet of stream channels shall be restricted to road and golf fairway crossings in order to protect
the temperature water quality standard.
7. Written DWQ approval is required for water chemistry, macrobenthos and parameters directed at TSS, temperature and
dissolved oxygen for all perennial streams at the site boundaries when channel flow is present. This monitoring plan
must continue for at least (5) five years after all road way and golf course construction is completed on the project.
Three (3) copies of the annual monitoring reports must be sent to the DWQ by April 1" of each year. Remedial actions
to correct any identified exceedance of water quality standards must be proposed by the applicant in these reports and,
when approved by DWQ, implemented by the applicant.
8. A non-discharge permit for wastewater/golf course application must be received from DWQ prior to any wetland
impacts.
9. The following changes need to be made in the site plan to further minimize impacts to streams and wetlands:
a) the road crossings at impact areas C and D shall be eliminated by using cul-de-sacs on the roads,
b) the fairway at hole 16 shall be realigned to avoid stream fill, and
c) the impact at hole 12 shall be eliminated unless required for a stormwater management facility.
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate for
these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402, this contribution will satisfy our
compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h), 876 feet of
restoration will be required. Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to:
DENR - Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at
919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration Program. Payment to the Wetlands
Restoration Program (WRP) shall be made within 30 calendar days of the final County plat approval for Phase I or prior to
any stream or wetland impacts, whichever occurs first.
For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the impact of 2,036 linear feet of streams (0.338 acre of
waters) in 030605 river basin and subbasin, and 876 linear feet of stream restoration is required. Please be aware that
the Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) rules require rounding of acreage amounts to one-quarter acre increments
(15A 2R.0503(b)).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You mast
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. 27611-7447. 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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.

S&EC, Inc. Project # 99-4247
1 I /5/99
Placement of culvert and fill within and flooding ofjurisdictional waters necessary for the construction of
the residential golf community. Mechanical equipment will include heavy machinery necessary to complete
the above mentioned activity.
13. Purpose of proposed work: To construct a residential golf community.
14. State reasons why it is believed that this activity must be carried out in wetlands (include
any measures taken to minimize wetland impacts):
The site is approximately 600 acres in size and is located within the Triassicgeologic zone of Chatham
County. The vegetated communities located within the project site consist primarily of open woods with
some harvested areas. The jurisdictional waters located on the site consist of stream channels and some
small wetland pockets. The jurisdictional waters determined to contain "importance" to "significant aquatic
function" (determined by the Mr. Todd Tugwell of the USACE) include the main stream channel bisecting
the property (south to north), its tributary stream channel entering from the western property boundary, the
small spring-fed stream channel along the northern property boundary and the stream channel along the
eastern property boundary. All other jurisdictional waters on the site consist primarily of "wet-weather
draws" containing some braided ephemeral / intermittent stream channels.
Impacts to stream channels containing "importance" to "significant aquatic function" total 1,015 linear feet
(not including rip-rap dissipaters). The majority of this 1,015 feet consists of impacts caused by the
proposed irrigation pond (200 If for the dam and 439 linear feet of flooding). The remaining 376 If of
impacts are caused by two road crossings (Impact Areas "A" and "E"). The main stream channel bisects the
property (south to north). Crossings of the stream were limited to only two road crossings. The developers
looked into bridging the two crossings. However, the steep terrain and width of creek caused this option to
be abandoned due to the required expense. The use of open-bottom culverts to span the crossings (Impact
Areas "C" & "D" on the attached impact map) of the tributary stream channel entering from the west,
however, proved to be a valid option.
The first step taken by the developers to limit impacts to jurisdictional waters was to revise their proposed
site plan. The original site plan called for two irrigation ponds within the main stream channel drainage.
One of the ponds was dropped from the plan and the other was relocated to an area that contained less
wetlands. The original site plan called for a sediment and erosion control pond to be placed within the
spring-fed stream channel near the northern property boundary. This pond was moved up hill so that no
impacts will occur to the spring or channel. The original site plan called for culverts to be placed on the two
stream crossings of the tributary stream entering from the western property boundary. The developers will
now be using "open-bottom" culverts so as not to impact the streambed. The original site plan called for
multiply crossings of the main stream channel. These have been limited to only two crossings.
The second step taken by the developers was to limit any off site impacts (sedimentation/erosion). Several
stormwater/sedimentation control ponds and weirs will be used on the property to prevent any off-site
sedimentation or erosion.
The third step taken by the developers was to mitigate for the 1,015 linear feet of impacted important stream
channel. The attached mitigation proposal will provide over 1,700 linear feet of a 75-foot wide
vegetated/undisturbed buffer around the proposed irrigation pond, a conservation easement on more than
2,653 linear feet of stream channel and a payment of $47,000 into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (see attached mitigation proposal).
14. You are required to contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) (see agency addresses sheet) regarding the presence of any federally listed or proposed for
listing endangered or threatened species or critical habitat in the permit area that may be affected by the
proposed protect. Date contacted: (attach responses from these agencies).

Re: Proposed Mitigation of Stream Impacts
Hams Tract
Chatham County
Dear Gentleman:
Bluegreen Golf, the developers of a Davis Love Golf Community, proposes the following
measures to mitigate 1,015 linear feet (376 If road crossings, 200 If pond dam and 439 If
flooding) of unavoidable "important' stream impacts detailed within the attached Pre-
Construction Notification Application (PCN).
Vegetative Buffers will be placed around the proposed pond located near the southern
property boundary to mitigate for the 639 linear feet of impact caused by the pond dam and
flooding. These vegetated buffers will be 75 feet wide and will be placed along the pond
edge (excluding the dam) providing 1716 linear feet and 3.0 acres of protective buffers.
These buffers will consist of both undisturbed and re-planted buffers. The re-planted
buffers will follow a "vegetation plan" including a minimum of at least two native hardwood
tree species planted at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity and a
"grading plan" that will ensure that all graded areas will be done in a manner to provide
diffuse flow through the buffers. The re-planted areas will be planted immediately following
the construction of the proposed pond (woody vegetation will be planted in the fall to ensure
proper survival).
A 100' wide Conservation Easement will be placed on the "important' stream and its riparian
habitat bisecting the property (north to south) from the proposed Hole # 2 fairway to the
proposed Hole # 5 fairway, as additional mitigation for the 639 linear feet of impact caused
by,the pond dam and flooding. This section of "important' stream channel protected under
the Conservation Easement will total 2,653 linear feet of stream and 6.1 acres of riparian
habitat. The Conservation Easement will ensure that no Disturbance of Natural Features,
Construction or Residential Use (other than possible trails), Industrial or Commercial Use,
Agricultural, Grazing or Horticultural Use, Dumping or Storage, Excavation or Dredging,
Mineral Use or Degradation to Water Quality or Drainage Patterns will occur within this area.
This area will be kept as an undisturbed area (except for potential trails for passive
recreational activities such as hiking or bird watching). The Conservation Easement will be
placed into effect prior to the development of the site.

To mitigate for the 376 linear feet of stream impacts associated with the two road crossings
(indicated as A and E on the attached site plan), Bluegreen Golf proposes payment of
$47,000.00 (i.e., $125 per linear foot) into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (WRP).
Please review the enclosed material. If you should require additional information, please
feel free to contact us.

Size and Location of Property (waterbody, Highway name/number, town, etc.):
The property is approximately 600 acres in size and is located west of Big Woods Road (SR 1715),
approximately 2.25 miles north of US 64, northeast of Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina. The
site is adjacent to an unnamed tributary of Lake Jordan, above headwaters, in the Cape Fear River Basin.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
There are waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, on the above described property which we strongly suggest
should be delineated and surveyed. The surveyed wetland 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 identification and delineation of your wetlands
cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to obtain a consultant to obtain a more timely
delineation of the wetlands. Once the 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., to include wetlands, on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of the 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.
There are no waters of the U.S., to include 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 five years from the
date of this notification.
This project is located in the Neuse river basin. You should contact the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
at [phone] to determine additional requirements specific to this river basin.
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 1311). 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 contact
Todd Tug?well at telephone number (919) 876 - 8441 extension 26

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, WRP
Bluegreen Corp.
451 River House Road
Bolivia, NC 28422
Dear Mr. Edwards:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
impact 1,884 linear feet of streams (0.388-acres of waters) for the purpose of constructing a residential and
golf course community at the Harris Tract on Big Woods Road (SR1716) near Jordan Lake in Chatham
County, as you described in your application dated November 5, 1999 (and as corrected on April 27, 2000).
After reviewing your application, we have decided that this impact is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Numbers 3102, 3103 and 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Numbers 13, 14 and 26 upon issuance by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project (including, but not limited to Sediment
and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed). 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,
unless revisions are proposed to further reduce wetlands or stream impacts, and as modified below. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application for a new
certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter; and thereby becomes 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). 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 remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters 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. A final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this Office before the
impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must
include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to
remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best
Management Practices Manual. A separate management plan must be proposed for the
club house site. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the
stormwater management facilities, as approved by this Office, must be constructed and
operational, and the stormwater plan, as approved by this Office, shall be implemented.
Constructed wetlands or ponds must be constructed on all three tributaries before the
tributaries exit the site. Written DWQ approval is required for these plans. Constructed
wetlands must be built where construction is feasible. There shall be no direct discharge
of stormwater from any portion of the golf course to any stream.
3. Additional written approval is needed from DWQ for a mid-column, minimum flow
(7Q 10) release plan from all on-line stormwater management devices, particularly the
pond at site A.
4. Sedimentation and Erosion Control measures designed to meet High Quality Water
standards must be designed, constructed and maintained properly for the entire site. A
revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan must be submitted to the N.C. Division
of Land Resources ( attn: Mr. John Holley, Raleigh Regional Office) and be approved
before additional land clearing occurs..
5. A minimum 30-foot vegetation buffer must be established and protected along all
perennial streams shown on the most recent version of the USGS 1:24,000 scale
topographic map (approximately at the crossing for hole No. 5) and along streams
determined to be perennial by USGS methodology and accepted by Chatham County as
perennial streams. DWQ shall be copied with this plan within 90 days of the date of this
Certification. This submittal must include written conformation from Chatham County
regarding perennial stream buffers for their Water Supply Protection Ordinance.
Development in this buffer zone shall be limited to water dependent structures or as
otherwise outlined in 15A NCAC 2B .0216(3)(b)(I)(G).
6. Tree removal within 30 feet of stream channels shall be restricted to road and golf
fairway crossings in order to protect the temperature water quality standard.
7. Written DWQ approval is required for a water quality monitoring plan for water
chemistry, macrobenthos and physical parameters directed at TSS, temperature and
dissolved oxygen for all perennial streams at the site boundaries when channel flow is
present. This monitoring plan must continue for at least 5 (five) years after all
construction is completed on the development. Three copies of the annual monitoring
reports must be sent to DWQ by April I" of each year. Remedial actions to correct any
identified exceedance of water quality standards must be proposed by the applicant in
these reports and, when approved by DWQ, implemented by the applicant.
8. A non-discharge permit for the wastewater/golf course application must be received from
the DWQ before construction begins.
9. The following changes need to be made in the site plan to further minimize impacts to
streams and-wetlands: _
a) the road crossings at impact areas C and D shall be eliminated by using cul-
de-sacs on these roads,
b) the fairway at hole 16 shall be realigned to avoid stream fill, and
c) the impact at hole 12 shall be eliminated unless required for a stormwater
management facility.
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in
order to compensate for these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC
2R.0402, this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A
NCAC 2H .0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h), feet of restoration will be required.
Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR
Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be
contacted at 919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration
Program. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment.
For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the impact of 1,884 linear feet
of streams (0338 acre of waters) in 030605 river basin and subbasin, and 724 linear feet of
stream restoration is required. Please be aware that the Wetland Restoration Program
(WRP) rules require rounding of acreage amounts to one-quarter acre increments (15A 2R
.0503(b)).
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. 27611-
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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.

? Table 1 lists nitrate-nitrogen, total nitrogen and total phosphorus as the nutrient suite
being analyzed.. We recommend adding to this suite of parameters ammonia (NH),
Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and phosphate (PO). In addition, please discuss your
reasons for not including fecal coliform bacteria and metals in your analysis.
? Please list the contracted laboratory responsible for collection and analyses of water
and sediment samples.
? Appendix I was not included in the monitoring plan. This Appendix is an example of
the field log that should be used for this project.
In section 3.1 why is station SW-3 listed as the pond near golf hole number 2? This
station is one of the monitoring locations being done during Phase I and the data are
intended to serve as water quality conditions upstream of the project.
? It is recommended that chlorophyll a be added to the parameter list. These data
should be collected seasonally from the pond at the lower end of the project following
construction.
s Minimum flow requirements for the stream outlet below the pond at the lower end of
the project should also be included as part of this monitoring plan.
Again, thank you for this monitoring plan. I feel confident that this plan when amended
will address the concerns of both DWQ, the comments noted at the public hearing and the
401 Certification.

Regarding: Environmental Monitoring Program
Harris Tract, Chatham County
DWQ # 991233
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Environmental Monitoring Program for the
Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club (DWQ # 991233). This appears to be a very
comprehensive monitoring program that will address most of the concerns noted during
the public hearing 27, April 2000 and addressed in the 401 Certification. Staff members
of the Division of Water Quality have reviewed this document and have the following
comments/concerns. Please respond to these issues by October 31, 2000.
Many of the potential water quality problems associated with this project are non-point
source perturbations and as such will be most noticeable during, or immediately
following, spate events. Sections 2.2 and 3.2 discuss the sample frequency for surface
water samples. We recommend that these samples be collected during each of the four
collection periods during both Phase I and Phase H of this monitoring program. We
recognize that water levels may present problems with collection at some stations during
low rainfall periods. Every attempt should be made to collect these samples following
significant rain events to effectively assess the non-point source perturbations. In
addition, baseflow conditions also should be sampled and noted. These latter data will
serve as low-flow background information.
Other comments include the following:
? Please add a List of References to this document where appropriate.
? It is strongly recommended that surface water samples also be collected from the
collection location noted on Figure 1 as Sediment 3/Monitoring Well 3 near the
western portion of the project.

RE: Public Hearing request
Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf Community
Chatham County
DWQ # 991233
Attached is a copy of the file for this project. The Haw River Assembly requests
a Public Hearing for the 401 Certification for this project. The total impacts from the
project are still not clear (hence the 14 February 2000 letter) but total at least 0.413
acres of wetlands and 3,124 linear feet of streams. The site is almost adjacent to
Jordan Lake in a location which local environmental groups have.been monitoring
closely for several years. The streams are classified as WS IV, B with supplemental
classifications of NSW, CA. The applicant proposes to use WRP.for mitigation - given
the uncertainty with the amount of required stream mitigation, Ron Ferrell has not yet
decided whether to accept this challenge. The consultant has told me that if WRP is not
willing to do mitigation that he has a site near Siler City that might be suitable.
Given the continuing confusion with the technical details for this project, the
sensitive nature of the watershed and the high visibility of the project site, the Central
and Raleigh Regional Offices recommend that a Public Hearing be held for this project.
This request for a hearing was delayed in the confusion and consternation from the
snow storm. Therefore a prompt decision would be appreciated. Dave Penrose is very
familiar with the site and consultants and can answer any site-specific questions you
may have.

CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. David Edwards
Bluegreen Development
451 Riverhouse Road
Bolivia, North Carolina 28422
Dear Mr. Edwards:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.413
acres of wetlands and 3,124 linear feet of streams located at SR 715 in Chatham County for golf
course/residential development (Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf community) as described in your application
dated 5 November, 1999. 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 clarify the impact planned at holes #16 and #10? Are stream fills planned at
these locations or just clearings? Also we have determined that all three streams on site are perennial.
Since more than 150 feet of impact is planned for each stream, more mitigation is needed. 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 it did
-not account for 1: Lreplacement of the impact to perennial. streams. We calculate that this would be at least
13 14 feet (roads, riprap and dams).
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to
me and one copy to Ms. Beth Barnes, Raleigh DWQ Regional Office at 3800 Barrett Drive, 919- 571-4700.
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 919-733-9646 if you have any questions.

The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.413
acres wetlands located at SR 1715 in Chatham County for development of a golf course community. Based
on this review, we have identified significant uses, which would be removed or degraded by this project.
There are aquatic life uses in these streams. Furthermore, 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 provide biological information as to whether the stream at crossing F is
perennial in the field? Also are there stream restoration opportunities on site? Finally, we will need
documentation from the NC Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) to determine whether they are willing to
provide compensatory mitigation for this project. By copy of this letter we hereby request written

Mr. John Dorney
State of North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Division of Water Quality
RE: Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf Community
Chatham County
DWQ #991233
Dear Mr. Dorney:
?..
Thank you for giving the Haw River Assembly (HRA) this opportunity to comment on the
license request for Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf Community located on Big Woods Road. The
Haw River Assembly is a non-profit citizens group with 1,700 members, founded in 1982 to
restore the Haw River and protect Jordan Lake.
The streams where this proposed golf course community would be situated flow directly into
Jordan Lake at the State Educational Forest, Parker's Creek Campground and Page's Reef. Given
the fact that this development would be sited in the watershed of Jordan Lake, a public water
supply, we believe it is in the public's best interest to grant a hearing on this license. This will
allow all those that have concerns an opportunity to comment.
CURRENT CONDITION OF JORDAN LAKE
Since it was first built, Jordan Lake's water quality has had problems with nutrients like
phosphate and nitrogen. It is one of the most eutrophic lakes in North Carolina, with periodic
algae blooms and low oxygen levels existing. According to Chatham County's current Land
Development plan (attachment 2 page 10, -second paragraph); "the potential for Jordan Lake to
become eutrophic, that is to become so highly enriched by nutrients that parts of it may become
useless for any purpose, is still considered by the State to be among the highest for any lake in
North Carolina". The Haw River is listed as a high priority Category 1 river on the EPA's UWA
list of impaired streams. This listing of impaired streams includes the creeks that feed the
northern arm of the lake, including, Morgan, Northeast, Third Fork and White Oak. Jordan Lake
.f.
itself is listed as "threatened". The state's most recent "Ba-,inwide Assessment Report" for the
Cape Fear River Basin (June 1999) states that "Increasing population and development in the
watershed along with the increased discharges from wastewater treatment plants within the
drainage areas of the lake will likely contribute to continuing eutrophic conditions in Jordan Lake
(NCDWQ, December 1998)" (p. 76)
State and university personnel have performed intensive monitoring and research of the 14,300-
acre reservoir since the lake was filled 18 years ago. The New Hope arm of the reservoir has an
average retention time of 418 days. This means any pollut?mts entering the lake in this area will
contaminate the reservoir for over a year. The Haw River Assembly has been meeting with the
Jordan Lake/Haw River Partnership, which includes all municipal water dischargers and other
stakeholders to discuss development of a Jordan Lake Watsr Quality Modeling Project, that will
look at nutrient response for the lake. Any new development this close to Jordan Lake as the
Harris tract is, must have compelling justification for being; in such a sensitive area.
TOPOGRAPHY AND SOIL CONDITION
This proposed golf course and high-density development ,its on the western shore of Jordan
Lake. This side of the lake is marked by steep terrain and streams that runoff directly into the
lake. The developer proposes a water treatment plant and 3 holding ponds on the edge of Jordan
Lake's buffer land. The treatment plant and ponds would sit at an elevation of 400 feet with the
lake less than a mile east at an elevation of 200 feet (Attaa:hment 1). In addition, the heavily
wooded buffer that once would have protected the lake from the proposed treatment site was
logged out several months ago to make way for the new €;as lines that were laid across North
Carolina. Now all that remains is a grassy slope and a small tree buffer at the edge of the lake. In
a heavy rain event there will not be much to stop the effluent from entering the lake at this point.
It is downhill and free of most vegetation.
According to Chatham County's current Land Development plan (Attachment 2 page 7, -second
paragraph); "...These soils have a high shrink-swell potei.itial, very low percolation, high
erodibility and generally a low traffic support capability." According to Dr. Jennings in the
Symposium Proceedings - Is Golfing Green? The Impac of Golf Courses on the Coastal
Environment (Attachment 3, page 15; -fourth paragraph); "1) Pollution potential is proportional
to the intensity of land use in the watershed; 2) pollution results primarily from a few major
rainfall events each year, and 3) prevention is much more effective than remediation of affected
waters." The developer's plan to spray the effluent of a dense community of 516 homes onto the
golf course greens in this poor soil district next to Jordan Lake is not environmentally sound.
In addition, chemicals used to keep the fairways and lawns green are not likely to be well-
absorbed in this poor soil, and will likely end up in the :lake, regardless of planned design features
in a heavy rain event. Recent flooding and storms have shown that these events are more likely
to occur than current NC regulations currently provide for.

WATERWAYS
There are three streams that flow directly from the Harris property into the reservoir in the New
Hope arm (see attachment 1). Two streams flow directly into the lake at the dividing line of
Jordan Lake's Educational Forest and Parker's Creek Campground. The other stream flows
directly into Pages Reef, a favorite bank fishing recreational site. We are currently monitoring
two of the three streams and to date these streams are rated with high marks. The first sign of
degradation to these streams will come from sediment erosion during the construction process.
Increased run-off from impervious surfaces will also be detrimental to these small streams that
feed Jordan Lake.
The license shows damming the most significant stream on the Harris property and another
intermittent stream just above the open buffer land mentioned above. Who will monitor these
ponds and how often will they be cleaned of the chemicals that will concentrate there?
GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION
We have attached THE INTERAGENCY STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF PESTICIDE USE ON
GROUND WATER IN NORTH CAROLINA and an article from Raleigh News' and Observer
showing the results of this study conducted by NC Dept. of Agriculture (NCDA) and
Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DENR) (Attachment 4). The 5-year study showed
a high rate of pesticide contamination statewide in the test. wells they monitored. Are there plans
to place test wells around this development? A high impact development such as this will
overburden the land's ability to repair itself.
The developers would have us believe that their golf cow-se and high density development is a
closed system, and the insecticides, herbicides, fungicides fertilizers and spray field effluent will
never make their way beyond the borders of their development. With the steep terrain, close
proximity to Jordan Lake and streams that wash the land directly into the lake it is very likely
that the Cape Fear river basin and all who live downstre= will feel the effect of this project.
Keep in mind that this development is just the first in a long line of requests that will be coming
your way for dense development in the Jordan Lake Watershed - an area that was designed to
house low-density homesites.
Thank you for taking our remarks and request for a pub] is hearing into consideration,
Sincerely,

S&EC, Inc. Project # 99-4247
1 1 /5/99
Placement of culvert and fill within and flooding ofjurisdictional waters necessary for the construction of
the residential golf community. Mechanical equipment will include heavy machinery necessary to complete
the above mentioned activity.
13. Purpose of proposed work: To construct a residential golf community.
14. State reasons why it is believed that this activity must be carried out in wetlands (include
any measures taken to minimize wetland impacts):
The site is approximately 600 acres in size and is located within the Triassic.geologic zone of Chatham
County. The vegetated communities located within the project site consist primarily of open woods with
some harvested areas. The jurisdictional waters located on the site consist of stream channels and some
small wetland pockets. The jurisdictional waters determined to contain "importance" to "significant aquatic
function" (determined by the Mr. Todd Tugwell of the USACE) include the main stream channel bisecting
the property (south to north), its tributary stream channel entering from the western property boundary, the
small spring-fed stream channel along the northern property boundary and the stream channel along the
eastern property boundary. All other jurisdictional waters on the site consist primarily of "wet-weather
draws" containing some braided ephemeral / intermittent stream channels.
Impacts to stream channels containing "importance" to "significant aquatic function" total 1 0 5 U .at feet
(not including rip-rap dissipaters). The majority of this 1,015 feet consists of impacts caused by the
proposed irrigation pond (2001f for the dam and 439 linear feet of flooding). The remaining 376 if of
impacts are caused by two road crossings (Impact Areas "A" and "E"). The main stream channel bisects the
property (south to north). Crossings of the stream were linuted to only two road crossings. The developers
looked into bridging the two crossings. However, the steep terrain and width of creek caused this option to
be abandoned due to the required expense. The use of open-bottom culverts to span the crossings (Impact
Areas "C" & "D" on the attached impact map) of the tributary stream channel entering from the west,
however, proved to be a valid option.
The first step taken by the developers to limit impacts to jurisdictional waters was to revise their proposed
site plan. The original site plan called for two irrigation ponds within the main stream channel drainage.
One of the ponds was dropped from the plan and the other was relocated to an area that contained less
wetlands. The original site plan called for a sediment and erosion control pond to be placed within the
spring-fed stream channel near the northern property boundary. This pond was moved up hill so that no
impacts will occur to the spring or channel. The original site plan called for culverts to be placed on the two
stream crossings of the tributary stream entering from the western property boundary. The developers will
now be using "open-bottom" culverts so as not to impact the streambed. The original site plan called for
multiply crossings of the main stream channel. These have been limited to only two crossings.
The second step'taken by the developers was to limit any off site impacts (sedimentation/erosion). Several
stormwater/sedimentation control ponds and weirs will be used on the property to prevent any off-site
sedimentation or erosion.
The third step taken by the developers was to mitigate for the 1,015 linear feet of impacted important stream
channel. The attached mitigation proposal will provide over 1,700 linear feet of a 75-foot wide
vegetated/undisturbed buffer around the proposed irrigation pond, a conservation easement on more than
2,653 linear feet of stream channel and a payment of $47,000 into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (see attached mitigation proposal).

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
There are waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, on the above described property -which we strongly suggest
should be delineated and surveyed. The surveyed wetland 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 identification and delineation of your wetlands
cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to obtain a consultant to obtain a more timely
delineation of the wetlands. Once the 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., to include wetlands, on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of the 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.
There are no waters of the U.S., to include 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 five years from the
date of this notification.
This project is located in the Neuse river basin. You should contact the-North Carolina Division of Water Quality
at [phone] to determine additional requirements specific to this river basin.
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 1311). 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 contact

Re: Proposed Mitigation of Stream Impacts
Harris Tract
Chatham County J
Dear Gentleman:
Bluegreen Golf, the developers of a Davis Love Golf Community, proposes the following
measures to mitigate 1,015 linear feet (376 If road crossings, 200 If pond dam and 439 If
flooding) of unavoidable "important" stream impacts detailed within the attached Pre-
Construction Notification Application (PCN).
Vegetative Buffers will be placed around the proposed pond located near the southern
property boundary to mitigate for the 639 linear feet of impact caused by the pond dam and
flooding. These vegetated buffers will be 75 feet wide and will be placed along the pond
edge (excluding the dam) providing 1716 linear feet and 3.0 acres of protective buffers.
These buffers will consist of both undisturbed and re-planted buffers. The re-planted
buffers will follow a "vegetation plan" including a minimum of at least two native hardwood
tree species planted at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity and a
"grading plan" that will ensure that all graded areas will be done in a manner to provide
diffuse flow through the buffers. The re-planted areas will be planted immediately following
the construction of the proposed pond (woody vegetation will be planted in the fall to ensure
proper survival).
A 100' wide Conservation Easement will be placed on the "important' stream and its riparian
habitat bisecting the property (north to south) from the proposed Hole # 2 fairway to the
proposed Hole # 5 fairway, as additional mitigation for the 639 linear feet of impact caused
by the pond dam and flooding. This section of "important' stream channel protected under
the Conservation Easement will total 2,653 linear feet of stream and 6.1 acres of riparian
habitat. The Conservation Easement will ensure that no Disturbance of Natural Features,
Construction or Residential Use (other than possible trails), Industrial or Commercial Use,
Agricultural, Grazing or Horticultural Use, Dumping or Storage, Excavation or Dredging,
Mineral Use or Degradation to Water Quality or Drainage Patterns will occur within this area.
This area will be kept as an undisturbed area (except for potential trails for passive
recreational activities such as hiking or bird watching). The Conservation Easement will be
placed into effect prior to the development of the site.

RE: Your 2/14/00 letter concerning the Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf
Community Project (DWQ #991233) (Copy Attached)
The purpose of this letter is to respond to the specific questions in your
letter. There is no stream fill planned at -Hole # 10. Initially fill was
planned on Hole # 16 but our client has redesigned the hole so that no
stream/wetland fill will be required (see attached revised plan)
As far as mitigation requirements go, based on the revised plan and your
staffs findings that all three streams are perennial, we calculate the total
.stream mitigation required should be 856' (unless your policy has
recently changed, no mitigation for pond construction should be
required.). We do not agree with your staff's determinations on
significance but our client has advised us that he does not have time to
appeal the situation now. He also does not understand why this has just
come up since the application has been in DWQ's hands for almost 4
months. Therefore, if he has no other- choice to prevent holding up the
permit process, he will pay into the NCWRP for stream mitigation.
Please call if you have further questions or if you need anything else to
quickly finalize processing this application.
Substituting the attached impact table and site plan sheets for the ones
previously submitted should make the application current and complete.

Dear Mr. Edwards:

Im 1,
Lf.-O utivur
- :. T7 SFf,TIQrd
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.413
acres of wetlands and 3,124 linear feet of streams located at SR 715 in Chatham County for golf
course/residential development (Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf community) as described in your application
dated 5 November, 1999. 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 clarify the impact planned at holes #16 and #10? Are stream fills planned at
these locations or just clearings? Also we have determined that all three streams on site are perennial.
Since more than 150 feet of impact is planned for each stream, more mitigation is needed. 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 it did
not account for 1:1 replacement of the impact to perennial streams. We calculate that this would be at least
13 14 feet (roads, riprap and dams).
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to
me and one copy to Ms. Beth Barnes, Raleigh DWQ Regional Office at 3800 Barrett Drive, 919- 571-4700.
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 919-733-9646 if you have any questions.

RE: Public Hearing request

WETLANDS GWk
Attached is a copy of the file for this project. The Haw River Assembly requests
a Public Hearing for the 401 Certification for this project. The total impacts from the
project are still not clear (hence the 14 February 2000 letter) but total at least 0.413
acres of wetlands and 3,124 linear feet of streams. The site is almost adjacent to
Jordan Lake in a location which local environmental groups have been monitoring
closely for several years. The streams are classified as WS IV, B with supplemental
classifications of NSW, CA. The applicant proposes to use WRP for mitigation - given
the uncertainty with the amount of required stream mitigation, Ron Ferrell has not yet
decided whether to accept this challenge. The consultant has told me that if WRP is not
willing to do mitigation that he has a site near Siler City that might be suitable.
Given the continuing confusion with the technical details for this project, the
sensitive nature of the watershed and the high visibility of the project site, the Central
and Raleigh Regional Offices recommend that a Public Hearing be held for this project.
This request for a hearing was delayed in the confusion and consternation from the
snow storm. Therefore a prompt decision would be appreciated. Dave Penrose is very
familiar with the site and consultants and can answer any site-specific questions you
may have.

The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.413
acres of wetlands and 3,124 linear feet of streams located at SR 715 in Chatham County for golf
course/residential development (Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf community) as described in your application
dated 5 November, 1999. 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 clarify the impact planned at holes #16 and #10? Are stream fills planned at
these locations or just clearings? Also we have determined that all three streams on site are perennial.
Since more than 150 feet of impact is planned for each stream, more mitigation is needed. 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 it did
not account for 1:1 replacement of the impact to perennial streams. We calculate that this would be at least
13 14 feet (roads, riprap and dams).
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to
me and one copy to Ms. Beth Barnes, Raleigh DWQ Regional Office at 3800 Barrett Drive, 919- 571-4700.
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 919-733-9646 if you have any questions.

RE: Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf Community
Chatham County
DWQ #991233
Dear Mr. Dorney:
f t
'tc?+ _ 7
Thank you for giving the Haw River Assembly (HRA) this opportunity to comment on the
license request for Harris Tract/Davis Love Golf Community located on Big Woods Road. The
Haw River Assembly is a non-profit citizens group with 1,700 members, founded in 1982 to
restore the Haw River and protect Jordan Lake.
The streams where this proposed golf course community would be situated flow directly into
Jordan Lake at the State Educational Forest, Parker's Creek Campground and Page's Reef. Given
the fact that this development would be sited in the watershed of Jordan Lake, a public water
supply, we believe it is in the public's best interest to grant a hearing on this license. This will
allow all those that have concerns an opportunity to comment.
CURRENT CONDITION OF JORDAN LAKE
Since it was first built, Jordan Lake's water quality has had problems with nutrients like
phosphate and nitrogen. It is one of the most eutrophic lakes in North Carolina, with periodic
algae blooms and low oxygen levels existing. According to Chatham County's current Land
Development plan (attachment 2 page 10, -second paragraph); "the potential for Jordan Lake to
become eutrophic, that is to become so highly enriched by nutrients that parts of it may become
useless for any purpose, is still considered by the State to be among the highest for any lake in
North Carolina". The Haw River is listed as a high priority Category 1 river on the EPA's UWA
list of impaired streams. This listing of impaired streams includes the creeks that feed the
northern arm of the lake, including, Morgan, Northeast, Third Fork and White Oak. Jordan Lake
itself is listed as "threatened". The state's most recent "Basinwide Assessment Report" for the
Cape Fear River Basin (June 1999) states that "Increasing population and development in the
watershed along with the increased discharges from wastewater treatment plants within the
drainage areas of the lake will likely contribute to continuing eutrophic conditions in Jordan Lake
(NCDWQ, December 1998)" (p. 76)
State and university personnel have performed intensive monitoring and research of the 14,300-
acre reservoir since the lake was filled 18 years ago. The New Hope arm of the reservoir has an
average retention time of 418 days. This means any pollutants entering the lake in this area will
contaminate the reservoir for over a year. The Haw River Assembly has been meeting with the
Jordan Lake/Haw River Partnership, which includes all municipal water dischargers and other
stakeholders to discuss development of a Jordan Lake Water Quality Modeling Project, that will
look at nutrient response for the lake. Any new development this close to Jordan Lake as the
Harris tract is, must have compelling justification for being in such a sensitive area.
TOPOGRAPHY AND SOIL CONDITION
This proposed golf course and high-density development sits on the western shore of Jordan
Lake. This side of the lake is marked by steep terrain and streams that runoff directly into the
lake. The developer proposes a water treatment plant and 3 holding ponds on the edge of Jordan
Lake's buffer land. The treatment plant and ponds would sit at an elevation of 400 feet with the
lake less than a mile east at an elevation of 200 feet (Attachment 1). In addition, the heavily
wooded buffer that once would have protected the lake from the proposed treatment site was
logged out several months ago to make way for the new gas lines that were laid across North
Carolina. Now all that remains is a grassy slope and a small tree buffer at the edge of the lake. In
a heavy rain event there will not be much to stop the effluent from entering the lake at this point.
It is downhill and free of most vegetation.
According to Chatham County's current Land Development plan (Attachment 2 page 7, -second
paragraph); "...These soils have a high shrink-swell potential, very low percolation, high
erodibility and generally a low traffic support capability." According to Dr. Jennings in the
SMmposium Proceedings - Is Golfing Green? The Impact of Golf Courses on the Coastal
Environment (Attachment 3, page 15; -fourth paragraph); "1) Pollution potential is proportional
to the intensity of land use in the watershed; 2) pollution results primarily from a few major
rainfall events each year, and 3) prevention is much more effective. than remediation of affected
waters." The developer's plan to spray the effluent of a dense community of 516 homes onto the
golf course greens in this poor soil district next to Jordan Lake is not environmentally sound.
In addition, chemicals used to keep the fairways and lawns green are not likely to be well-
absorbed in this poor soil, and will likely end up in the lake, regardless of planned design features
in a heavy rain event. Recent flooding and storms have shown that these events are more likely
to occur than current NC regulations currently provide for.
WATERWAYS
There are three streams that flow directly from the Harris property into the reservoir in the New
Hope arm (see attachment 1). Two streams flow directly into the lake at the dividing line of
Jordan Lake's Educational Forest and Parker's Creek Campground. The other stream flows
directly into Pages Reef, a favorite bank fishing recreational site. We are currently monitoring
two of the three streams and to date these streams are rated with high marks. The first sign of
degradation to these streams will come from sediment erosion during the construction process.
Increased run-off from impervious surfaces will also be detrimental to these small streams that
feed Jordan Lake.
The license shows damming the most significant stream on the Harris property and another
intermittent stream just above the open buffer land mentioned above. Who will monitor these
ponds and how often will they be cleaned of the chemicals that will concentrate there? -
GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION
We have attached THE INTERAGENCY STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF PESTICIDE USE ON
GROUND WATER IN NORTH CAROLINA and an article from Raleigh News and Observer
showing the results of this study conducted by NC Dept. of Agriculture (NCDA) and
Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DENR) (Attachment 4). The 5-year study showed
a high rate of pesticide contamination statewide in the test wells they monitored. Are there plans
to place test wells around this development? A high impact development such as this will
overburden the land's ability to repair itself.
The developers would have us believe that their golf course and high density development is a
closed system, and the insecticides, herbicides, fungicides fertilizers and spray field effluent will
never make their way beyond the borders of their development. With the steep terrain, close
proximity to Jordan Lake and streams that wash the land directly into the lake it is very likely
that the Cape Fear river basin and all who live downstream will feel the effect of this project.
Keep in mind that this development is just the first in a long line of requests that will be coming
your way for dense development in the Jordan Lake Watershed - an area that was designed to
house low-density homesites.
Thank you for taking our remarks and request for a public hearing into consideration,
Sincerely,
Diana Haywood

The study contains a great deal of information on the relative impacts
of point and non-point sources of water pollution and generally
concludes that non-point sources--particularly urban runoff--are major
source of the heavy metals found in the lake.1 The Haw is apparently
the major source of these problems largely due to the urban areas of
Greensboro and Burlington and therefore the best water from a toxics
standpoint is to be found in that part of the lake north of US 64 but
south of SR 1008.2
The potential for Jordan Lake to become eutrophic, that is to become
so highly enriched by nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) that parts
of it may become useless for any-purpose, is still considered by the
State to be among the highest for any lake in North Carolina.
in general, the water quality of the streams and lakes in Chatham is
fair to good. Major problems originate in the urban areas outside the
County but come from the types of urban land uses which are just
beginning to multiply in the County. This argues for a continuation
of the policies of vegetated stream buffers and storm water-retention
begun by the County. From a water supply standpoint, there appears to
be adequate surface water available to supply the planning area's
needs for a considerable time. Commitments will have to-be made to
the construction of withdrawal, treatment and transportation
facilities to ensure that the water is available when and where it is
needed.
Groundwater is a source of water supply for a large percentage of the
population and most rural residents in Chatham County. The native
quality of the groundwater is generally very good but its availability
is highly variable. Table 3 (Page 11) shows the yields of selected
wells by.geologic area. Figure 4 shows the generalized geology of the
planning area.

A comparison of the soils map and the geologic map reveal that there
is a large degree of correlation between the soils of the planning
area and the underlying geology. Table 1 (Page 6) shows the
approximate percentage of the soil types and the basic geologic units
which exist in each township. Figure 3 shows the distribution of the
various soil types across the planning area and Figure 4 shows the
basic geology.
As a general.statement, large portions of the planning re
covered by soils which pose problems for development. Most .of
771T115ms New Hope, Cape Fear, and large portions of Haw and
a townships are covered by soils of the White Store-Creedmoor
associati.on.' Thes
aaiiiL=d and e are areas which are also un is
,- These soils have a
rand gh shrink-swell potential, very low percolation, high erodibility
generally a low traffic support capability. ey co
w ere, according o oun y ea epartment, it is very
difficult to find places to dispose of sewage. Groundwater yields in
these areas are also reported to be low.
The Liqnum and Goldston soils which cover large portions-of Haw River
and Oakland townships and the Helena and Vance soils which cover
portions of Baldwin township are also severely limited for most uses.
The Herndon and Appling soils which are interspersed with the major
soils listed above are only moderately limited for the major
development related uses. Hadley and Center townships are covered with
soils which are less restricting in their uses.
Of the major soil types found in the planning area, most are of a type
which qualifies them for consideration as "prime farmland" providing
that the slopes are not too steep.
A detailed soil survey does not currently exist for Chatham County.
Such a survey is scheduled to be initiated cooperatively between the
County and the Soil Conservation Service.
Chatham County is fortunate in containing a great deal of well
contoured but gently sloping land. Steep slopes (over 10%) are rare.
Those that do exist occur along the major stream channels and in
scattered areas such as Edwards Mountain. Figure 5 shows areas in the
county where slopes exceed 10%. These are areas where development
review ought to include ;; careful evaluation of the slope situation
and the developer's plans for dealing with it. Densities in these
areas should be kept.low to allow drainage and sewage problems to be
solved on-site.
b. Water Resource Availability and Quality
Because of the development of Jordan Lake and the considerable
controversy about its quality, surface water resources have received
much attention in Chatham County. However, a very significant number
of the current residents are reliant on groundwater for domestic
supplies and will probably continue to be'dependant on this source for
several years.

Turf Management in Coastal Environments -
What Does It Take to Keep That Grass Green?
M Charles H. Peacock
Department of Crop Science
North Carolina State University
Golf course management in environmentally sensitive locations must focus on a number of
r considerations. This demands that the golf course superintendent be cognizant of the natural
surroundings and develop management objectives to ensure any impact on the environment is
positive. This can be accomplished by taking into account a number of factors which blend
r cultural programs with skilled management.
Site Conditions - Golf course design considerations must be environmentally sensitive. In
coastal environs, wetlands and the impact of design and management on them is a key issue.
Within these areas, surface runoff should be contained on-site and subsurface drainage should
for
as much soil
allow for attenuation of fertilizers and pesticides.
as
before
Site vulnerability - Soil type is an important factor. Sandy soils which are low in organic
matter content make the site less capable of attenuating applied materials. Other factors which
are equally important include the depth to ground water, rainfall and/or irrigation potential, and
whether pesticides are injected into the soil or surface applied.
Agronomic Practices - Best Management Practices (BMP) should be incorporated into all
phases of design and management. Specific components of this approach could include the
following:
-Use of aquatic filtration ponds for pollution abatement
-Installation of subsurface drainage to retain potential pollutants on-site
-Regulated runoff impoundment
This approach greatly can eliminate the risk of pollution to the environment adjacent to
golf course property.

-Use of grassed waterways
-Management for cultural control of pests
-Prudent irrigation management
-Selective and judicious use of pesticides

A second consideration which impacts the agronomic program is the use of Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) for dealing with pest problems. This approach develops objectives
which include the following:
-Developing a health turf
-Beneficial organism enhancement
Proper timing in handling pest problems
-Judicious use of pesticides
'v
This is an ecologic- ally based program which uses the following components: 1) .
Monitoring - to prevent pest problems from becoming unmanageable or developing over a wider
area than necessary; 2) Establishing thresholds - so that pest problems which are less significant
will not be treated until necessary; 3) Decision making - using technical information and
experience to determine when and what should be used for pest control; 4) Education of
personnel - critical to decision making; 5) Timing and spot treatment - controlling pests in small
areas and/or early in development can result in less total area being treated; and 6) Evaluating
results - a continuing process to refine the program.
Culturally there are several practices which should be considered. These include using the
upper limit on mowing heights to develop a healthy turf and provide density to prevent runoff
and/or erosion. Fertilization should minimize the use of water soluble nitrogen sources, avoid
making applications unless the grass is actively growing and can assimilate nutrients, and use of
realistic nitrogen rates. Irrigation should be practiced to replace soil moisture, yet prevent
leaching and runoff of materials.
Pest Management - This is critical to maintaining turf in coastal environments. These
areas are difficult situations in which to maintain a monoculture of grasses. In order to effectively
deal with the pest problems it is important that the superintendent be familiar with specific local
problems and that pesticide selection be scrutinized.
emotion are not turf management related. These are pesticide exposure and toxicology. In a
golf course situation, few people are exposed to pesticides unless they are actually making
applications. All golf courses should consider posting signs on days pesticide applications are
made informing the players of the materials used- where they have hPE•n annliorl -A :F

federal, state an oc regulatory agencies with information concerning changes which would
need to be made in labeling of pesticides for golf course application.
Research on pesticide fate is focusing on runoff and leaching of materials to surface and
ground water and the impact this may have on organisms. Scientific studies published have found
little impact from golf course pesticide applications under either situation. A US EPA study on
Cape Cod, MA concluded that "the results show no cause for concern about use of these
currently registered pesticides". Additional studies being funded by the US Golf Association will
13
continue to determine if the interaction of pesticide application with management practices
presents any concern over environmental impact.
Pesticide Selection - Selection of materials should be made based on a number of factors
including the following:
-Pesticide factors
Half-life - short, less persistence
Reactivity with soil - less problems with leaching
Timing and rate - low rates, timed for optimum results
-Soil factors
Texture - materials leach faster on sandy soils
Organic matter content - attenuates chemicals
Pesticide movement from application sites is dependent on site conditions including
topography, soils, pesticide properties and management practices. Several scientific studies have
found that irrigation management in relation to turf growth and climatic conditions can be a major.
factor in preventing chemical movement after application.
Management of the Program - This is the responsibility of the golf course superintendent.
This is a college educated, experienced individual who uses awide variety of agronomic and
management skills to develop a sound program. This person is licensed, and regulated by the state
concerning the. application of pesticides and is ultimately responsible for pesticide safety.'
Monitoring - This is an area which is receiving more attention. While the exact program .
will vary from golf course to another, all are monitoring soil, surface and/or ground water and
irrigation water to some degree. In coastal areas and given the public awareness and concern
over environmental quality, more detailed programs may be warranted in sensitive locations. This
may include developing written programs for Best Management Practices and Integrated Pest
Management and more specific monitoring to include nutrients and pesticides Consultation over
the plan s and scrutiny of management practices on a periodic basis would provide an independent
evaluation ofTiow closely management objectives are being met.
Summary - There is a need for the following:
• Develop a greater scientific understanding of the impact of turf areas on, the
environment
• Develop practices and programs which eliminate any potential. negative effects of
turf areas
• Where potential problems exist, develop alternative practices or programs thaf
eliminate any negative effects
• Educate turf managers and others involved in turf and the ublic about the. benefits

"Water Quality Impacts of Golf Course Development"
Gregory D. Jennings
Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department
North Carolina State University
Introduction. Golf course development, like other land development, can potentially
.result in water quality degradation. Land development changes the amount of pervious area,
resulting in changes in surface water runoff. Development typically reduces rainfall infiltration and
increases runoff volumes and peak rates. Development also increases the number and availability
of potential pollution sources that may be transported to receiving waters.
Golf course construction and management practices that may affect water quality include:
1) exposure of bare soil; 2) construction of areas with disturbed soil; 3) turfgrass planting,
upkeep, and clipping; 4) irrigation; 5) pest management; and 6) fertilization. Because of the
complexity of golf course management and water quality protection, an integrated approach is
required. Designers, managers, scientists, regulators, and concerned citizens must work together
to maintain water quality while providing opportunities for golf course development. This paper
presents an overview of issue related to water quality and golf course development.
Water Quality. Golf courses can potentially affect both surface and ground water quality.
Potential pollutants are sediment, nutrients (primarily nitrogen and phosphorus), pesticides, and
hydrocarbons. Sediment is the leading cause of impaired rivers in the United States, while
nutrients are the leading cause in estuaries. Nitrate is the leading cause of impairment in ground
water.
Golf courses are nonpoint sources (of pollutants, meaning that pollutants move in
response to rainfall from. a diffuse area into receiving waters. Characteristics of nonpoint sources
are: I) pollution potential is proportional to the intensity of land use in the watershed; 2 ollution
results pnmarily from a few major rainfall events each year, and 3) prevention is much more
effective than remediation of affected waters. Nonpoint source pollution is highly variable
depending on climate, soil type, geology, topography, land use, and pollutant availability. Each of.
these factors must be considered in preventing nonpoint source pollution.
Sediment runoff is of greatest concern during construction. By following recommended
best management practices BMPs), developers can minimize the potential for sediment runoff to
streams and lakes. BMPs include minimizing bare soil areas, maintaining vegetative buffers along
water bodies, and using diversions and sediment filters where appropriate.

Engineering from Pennsylvania State University and a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering from th"e
University of Nebraska. Dr. Jennings'telephone number is (919)-51S-6795.
Nutrient and pesticide runoff to surface water and leaching to ground water are concerns
for several reasons. Drinking water high in nitrate (above 10 parts per million nitrate-nitrogen) or
some pesticides is not safe for consumption. High levels of phosphorus and nitrogen in surface
waters can lead to algal blooms, oxygen depletion, and fish kills. Management practices that
minimize pollution by nutrients and pesticides are described later.
Hydrocarbons contaminate water primarily from leaking storage tanks and careless fuel
handling practices. Because cleanup of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and water is very difficult
and expensive, golf course managers should take care to prevent fuel leaks and spills.
Golf Course Management
The 1986 North Carolina Turfgrass Survey (NC Crop and Livestock Reporting Service,
1986) identified 478 golf courses, covering an average of 428 acres, with an average of 123 acres
of managed turfgrass. The most intensively managed areas on golf courses are greens, tees,
fairways, and roughs, in that order. On average, North Carolina courses have 3.7 acres of greens
and green surrounds, 4.6 acres of tees, 58.4 acres of fairways, and 42.9 acres of roughs.
Golf course turf management problems most frequently identified in the 1986 Turfgrass
Survey were traffic, poor soil, weeds, disease, shade, insects, nematodes, and erosion. The most.
frequently identified information sources for addressing these problems were University
Specialists, peers, commercial representatives, magazines, and County Extension offices. In
' contrast, homeowners were most likely to seek turf management information from garden centers,
neighbors and friends, County . Extension offices, newspapers, and magazines.
' Golf courses use irrigation to supplement rainfall. Approximately half of North Carolina
courses have manually operated permanent irrigation systems, one-third have automatic systems,
and the rest have portable systems. Greens are most frequently irrigated, with 82% receiving
' irrigation at least eve two d . Tees (43%) and fairways (24%) were less likely to be irrigated
at east every two days.
' Poor irrigation management can lead to wasted water and the potential for water quality
degradation. Irrigation losses are due to excessive evaporation, wind drift, nonuniform .
application, and inefficient operation. Irrigation scheduling should be used to carefully manage
irrigation amounts and timing to reduce water use and minimize the potential for surface runoff or
leaching of pollutants.
' Golf courses use nutrients and pesticides,to maintain healthy plants. Nutrients and
pesticide management practices that protect water quality include: 1) slow-release fertilizer
formulations, especially on sandy soils; 2) fertilizer applications at realistic rates based on plant
needs; 3) fertilizer applications at times when nutrients are needed and runoff potential is low; 4)
following pesticide label instructions; 5) maintaining and calibrating application equipment; 6)
proper disposal of containers and unused chemicals; 7) proper equipment for cheri igation; 8)
pesticide selection based-on efficacy and potential environmental impact; 9) managing pesticide

is needed in the following areas: 1) pollution processes and pathways o.f
contaminant transport; 2) water quality impacts of pollution; and 3) effects of management
practices on reducing pollution. Comprehensive golf course studies should monitor ground water
(saturated and unsaturated), surface water (runoff and instream), and management practices.
Results from these studies can be used to develop policies for protecting water quality while
supporting golf course development.

Although a central goal of the recent "Is Golfing Green" symposium was to examine the
impacts of golf course runoff on estuarine and coastal waters, this goal still eludes us because very
little information is currently available beyond the waters' edge. Many ideas for improved
management of golf courses to protect water quality have been under consideration by the USGA,
and at present several large-scale research efforts are underway to determine the impacts of golf
I course runoff on receiving waters. I believe that this research is critically needed, given the
near-total lack of existing data specific to the subject, and considering the danger of making
sweeping generalizations from the few research efforts that have been completed. One frequently
quoted -study, for example, concluded that there is no cause for concern regarding the use of
currently registered pesticides or nitrate levels in golf course runoff..' However, recent authors
have pointed out that "the sampling [used] did not necessarily coincide with major precipitation
events nor with pulses of water, moving through the unsaturated zone. Pulses of *elathmLy mobile
I ` compounds [such as some pesticides and the nutrient, nitrate could easily have "move
monitoring wells and escaped detection.'
Toward understanding the impacts of golf courses on the water and biological quality of
our estuarine and marine coastal habitats, the real questions we need to address are (a) What
concentrations of nitrate and other nutrients of concern, and of pesticides, reach our surface
waters from golf course runoff?; (b) What is the sensitivity of aquatic organisms to these nutrient
and pesticide concentrations; and (c) How are aquatic communities afforded legal protection from
these impacts?_
In considering these questions for coastal waters--thus far, on the basis, admittedly, of few
data--we need to weigh the following information. Currently there is exponential population
growth on all U.S. coasts, so that 75% of our nation's population is expected to be located 50
miles or less from coastal waters by 1995.' Coinciding with this population increase, according to
the recent treatise published by the USGA, there is a growing national trend for placement of golf
courses immediately adjacent to coastal waters, to afford access to oceanside views." North
Carolina is 9th among the 50 states in number of golf courses; we have nearly 500, with 25%- of
them having been constructed since 1980.`•5 The potential -impacts of golf course runoff on
adjacent surface waters are expected to result from sedimentation related to construction
activities, fertilizer loadings that can stimulate algal blooms, and pesticide loadings that can poison
waterfowl, cause fish kills, and result in poorly understood indirect effects on the aquatic food
chain.`

In southeastern North Carolina, 25%0 of the stream mileage is negatively affected by
nonpoint runoff sources, which include golf course runoff., This represents the highest
percentage of impacted waters regionally in the state, especially affecting the lower Cape Fear and
New Rivers. Non point source pollution accounts for about 85% of this im airment moreover,
40% of the sources of water quality degra ation ong our southern coast are. from urban ,runoff,
a general category that includes but still does not specify the contribution by golf course runoff
Only a little more about golf course impacts on surface water quality is known on a
national basis. Among the three general types of pollutants that can reach estuaries and coastal
waters from golf courses, remarkably little is known about necricidet given their widespread use
and common carcinouenic properties. Approximately 20% of the total pesticides used in the U.S.
annually are applied to lawns, gardens, and golf courses.` About 50 different pesticides
(insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, nematicides) are currently in major use on golf courses, and
many of these compounds are known to have widespread but, again, poorly understood
non-target impacts to humans and aquatic communities. Golf courses are known to contribute
to loss of fish and wildlife; for example, the pesticide diazinon applied on only three golf courses
killed 700 Atlantic brant geese, or 1/4 of the wintering population.' It is disconcerting to consider
the findings in a 1992 report by the National Academy of Sciences, that the Insecticide, Fungicide
and Rodenticide Act of 1972 [FIFRA., including amendments] represents this nation's Li weakest
and most poorly enforced federal environmental law.'
What does that mean, exactly? Here is what the FIFRA has accomplished': "This act
required the EPA to reevaluate the 600 active ingredients approved for use in pesticide products
before 1972 to determine whether any of them caused cancer, birth defects, or other health risks.
EPA was supposed to complete its analysis by 1975 using data submitted by pesticide
manufacturers, but it failed to do so [because of lack of funds]. In 1987, Congress extended the
deadline for completing the review to 1997. By 1989, EPA had been able to carry out preliminary
assessment of only 139 of 600 chemicals, and had completed its review on only 2, of them. The
FIFRA and its amendments allow EPA to leave inadequately tested pesticides on the market and
to license new chemicals without full health and safety data. It also gives EPA unlimited time to
remove a chemical when its health and environmental effects are shown to outweigh its economic
benefits. The appeals and other procedures built into the law often allow a dangerous chemical to
remain on the market for up to 10 years. Until 1990, the FIFRA required EPA to use its already
severely limited funds to compensate pesticide manufacturers for their remaining inventory and for
all costs of storing/disposing of the banned pesticide. For only one chemical, compensation costs
could amount to more than the agency's pesticide budget for one year. Usually, therefore, the
only economically feasible solution has been for EPA to allow existing stocks of a chemical that
should be banned immediately to be sold. The FIFRA is also the only major environmental statute
that does not provide for citizen lawsuits against EPA for violations in enforcement, an essential
tool to assure government compliance with a law."
Back in our own state, North Carolina's Pesticide Statute'(1971) does not require golf,
course managers to inform'its customers or the downstream public of when/what is sprayed,
resulting in reports of sickness to golfers from golf course pesticide application.' If human golf
19
course users are questionably protected, aquatic organisms would be expected to be less so. The
NC Agriculture Department's pesticide program has investigated some golf course-related fish
kill's. More disconcerting is the fact that many pesticide compounds currently in widespread use
are especially and acutely toxic to aquatic biota--and criteria have not yet even been .
formulated by regulatory agencies for their rotection? ` In part this lack of protection and
lac o ata have stemmed from the fact that pesticides are both difficult and costly to measure,
and environmental sections of state and federal agencies have been reduced in funding and staff
over the past 12 years.' But based. on this collective information, I do not believe that we can yet
afford the luxury of accepting a conclusion that the trace pesticide concentrations in golf course
runoff pose no threat to highly. sensitive aquatic organisms in adjacent receiving waters.
Another potential contribution of golf course runoff to receiving waters is nutrient
loading. The concept of cultural or accelerated eutrophication--nutrient enrichment to coastal
waters from human activities--is well known, and certain obvious effects are well understood.
Chief among these impacts is stimulation of algal blooms that can destroy the aesthetic appeal of
coastal waters and can also deplete oxygen at night, resulting in sometimes-massive fish kills.'
Recent aquatic research is beginning to send a strong signal, however, that we should go beyond
these obvious effects of nutrient enrichment in assessing subtle but ominous long-term impacts to
aquatic communities. Excesses of two nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, are commonly
recognized as potentially causing adverse effects on estuarine systems. Of these, the nutrient form
that is present in eatest concentration 'in most anthropogenic sources (including golf course
runoff), and with potential for long-distance transport, is the highly soluble nitrite."' Although N
and P loading are now decreasing in some river basins,' nutrient loading to many coastal areas is
still on the increase; Dr. Larry Cahoon (UNCW), for example, has noted 40-60% increase in
nitrate concentrations within Bradley Creek, Hewlett's Creek, and Howe Creek within the past
four years, attributed to lawn fertilizers including those used on golf courses.' Most turfgrass
researchers report 5-10 mg/L or higher concentrations of nitrate in golf course runoff, a range
that is considered acceptable for potable water supplies.'" But if we are to understand what
happens to aquatic communities that receive that nitrate, again, we must examine this issue from
below the water's surface--not from the perspective of human consumption or of land-based
activities (e.g., turfgrass cultivation) that stop at the water's edge.
In recent research my colleagues and I have established that even low levels of nitrate--10
to 100 times lower than m levels often reported in turf ass runoff studies -`--can 1

habitat throughout the world; on our own Atlantic Coast, for example, about 85% of eelgrass
meadows have disappeared in'New"Hampshire,.40% or more are gone from the Chesapeake Bay,.'.

Golf courses are a popular amenity to many development projects which provide
recreational opportunities and open spaces which are considered aesthetically pleasing by many
individuals. Water qualityconcerns regarding golf course development center around two issues:
(1) movement of sediment off-site during construction and (2) movement of pesticides off-site
during long-term maintenance of golf courses.
Sedimentation of surface waters as a result of poor erosion control activities during,
construction phases is the primary cause of adverse water quality impacts of golf courses, in the
opinion of the Division of Environmental Management. The most common result of such
activities are violations of the state's surface water quality turbidity standard and habitat damage
due to sedimentation. Habitat damage resulting from such sedimentation is usually associated
with poor implementation or maintenance of best management practices used for controlling
erosion and sedimentation, such as silt fences or catchment basins. Golf courses which properly
implement best management practices, including maintenance of vegetated filter strips and phased
construction activities to minimize exposed soil areas, have avoided these problems. Several .
recent golf course developments have used phase construction and sound best management
activities resulting in no measurable impacts to surface waters.
The long-term use of pesticides to maintain fairways, greens, tees and roughs pose other
potential water quality concerns. Attempts to monitor pesticides in stormwater runoff from golf
courses have been plagued with technical dt cuities. Commonly used analytical techniques are
not suitab a or anyztng recently developed non-chlorinated short-lived pesticides which are
currently widely used for golf course maintenance.
DEM Water Quality Section staff are presently modeling surface and ground water
movement of the most popular golf course pesticides to determine which pesticides are the most
suitable candidates for inclusion in a planned monitoring study. DEM staff are also involved in a
cooperative educational project with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Turf Grass
Council of N.C. and other agencies to develop a turf grass water quality management manual for
golf course designers, architects, golf course supervisors, homeowners and others. This
information is intended to assist in the development of environmentally sound designs and
management practices that will help protect water quality.
DEM staff believe that golf courses can be constructed, operated and maintained • in an
environmentally responsible manner that is also economically viable. Efforts to promote
cooperative educational projects are essential to ensuring that environmentally responsible
management of golf course development and maintenance continues to be implemented as an
industry-wide standard.

Are Our Environmental Policies Up to Par?
Douglas N. Rader
N. C. Environmental Defense Fund
Although we have made major progress in our struggle to protect many aspects*of our
environment, we have done particularly poorly when it comes to accounting for landscape-scale
processes. Piecemeal changes on the land are rarely examined adequately as to their cumulative
impacts, even though they commonly add up to big trouble for our most valuable natural
resources. Governmental agencies that stand firm in their oversight of waste pouring from pipes .
often lose their starch when it comes to dealing directly and forthrightly with nonpoint source
pollution and habitat losses that result from development. Similarly, we do a relatively poor job
of dealing with multiple pollutants released simultaneously from single sources.
Golf courses are particularly important players when it comes to land use changes in
coastal watersheds, because of their size and density in resort regions. Moreover, the potential
for negative impacts exists both during the development phase and the operation/management
phase. Most importantly, this enhanced liability when it comes to habitat losses and water
pollution also constitutes a major opportunity to manage large portions of sensitive landscapes in
an environmentally appropriate fashion if proper mitigative plans are devised and implemented.
Existing environmental programs are overtaxed by golf course development principally
because of the complexity and pervasiveness of the accompanying changes in watershed function.
Removal of natural vegetation not only removes the plants themselves (including whatever natural,
heritage significance they might have), but also their ecological functions. One of the most
important of these is the plants' ability to evaporate and transpire water back to the atmosphere.
When coupled to the compaction of soils the installation of impervious surfaces that normally
accompan olf course ro'ects, and the installation of drains a stems used to move water
quic y off these sites, the net result is considerable increases in movement of water. This is
particularly true when wetlands are filled during the development phase, since wetlands retain and
detain water. The installation of wet detention basins can sometimes partially offset this increase.
Water regulations are complicated by the need of turf for constant watering to maintain its green
appearance.

Stormwater not only carries with it pollutants such as pesticides, fertilizer nutrients and
bacteria, but also constitutes a direct threat when it flows in large amounts into brackish or marine
nursery areas, changing the salinity regimen during critical breeding seasons. Our existing
stormwater rules represent an important step toward dealing with this problem, but are based on,
politically expedient technologies, with minimal consideration for site-specific concerns in
receiving waters. Additionally, we currently have no standards for freshwater movement into
saltwater, for the specific toxicants used as pesticides on golf courses, or for nutrients (unless the
receiving water is supplementally classified "Nutrient Sensitive :Waters"). North Carolina does
employ a surrogate standard for nutrient enrichment (chlorophyll a, an algal pigment), but
excessive agal growth results from basinwide enrichment in most cases, and both identification of
sources and corrective action are complicated and politically difficult processes. We also lack an
effective mechanism for assessing cumulative impacts of multiple toxicants in stormwater. (A
similar problem related to point source wastes is addressed by the biological monitoring program.)
The existing in aream benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring program has the potential to detect
impacts of this sort after the facts but the program is not well developed for brackish or marine
waters. We have also done an extremely poor job of sealing with sediment pollution from diffuse
sources and bacterial pollution from stormwater.. Ironically, simply disturbing wetlands liberates
large numbers of bacteria which can then contaminate shellfish, even if additional human sources
are well controlled.
Even though many people feel that North Carolina leads the nation in protecting certain
types of special aquatic systems (Outstanding Resource Waters, High Quality Waters), those rules
do not protect the unique uses of these waters in the long term from accumulating development
within the watersheds. For the most parts those rules are technology-based, with no real caps for
development (except for wastewater flows, which are either banned or restricted to 50% of low
flows). Similarly, the existing wetlands protection program lacks real goals. No state policy
exists for the protection of wetlands that are not "coastal" (saltmarshes and similar systems); the
current 401 water quality certification programs operate without real rules and real policy
direction. Last, we do a particularly poor job at addressing questions related to habitat
maintenance for rare aquatic and terrestrial species and communities, much less addressing larger
scale problems of wildlife movement or habitat fragmentation. (Recent work shows clearly that
habitat fragmentation on the East Coast is at least as responsible as tropical rainforest clearing for
declines in neotropical migratory birds.)
Accumulating development impacts in watersheds is the Achilles' heel of the
environmental protection program in this country, and is particularly acute in small coastal
watershed where golf courses are often sited. It is critical at this time that we all find a way to
drop our sabres and work together to solve this problem. In a real sense, a healthy, vibrant '
environment is North Carolina's most important economic resource.

My specific recommendations for your consideration are these:
• require integrated nonpoint source pollution/water management plans for all major
developments in sensitive coastal watersheds; these plans should list specific "best
management practices" and "integrated .pest management practices" to be used on
each facility, and should be incorporated by reference into relevant permits issued
for these sites;
• develop integrated basinwide wetland restoration/mitigation plans for all coastal
basins, to address both nonpoint source pollution and wildlife concerns; and
• develop a specific program to address questions of biodiversity and natural
heritage; this program may well be based on economic incentives rather than
regulations alone.
We have learned here today that golf course developments, like all other activities, can be
done right or wrong. -As the public becomes more knowledgeable about these issues, it becomes
in everyone's best interest to do it right. We know it can be done; we know it sometimes is being
done. It is time to make sure that it must be done.

The acute and chronic impacts of turf glass pesticides on wild birds are legitimate -
community concerns that must be addressed prior to golf course construction and operation.
Poisoning of birds following pesticide application at golf courses is well-documented,. particularly
for diazinon. Although diazinon is no longer registered for use on turf, it took a decade for the
regulatory process to trigger an end to numerous documented cases of avian mortality associated
with this compound.
Several pesticides commonly used on golf courses have caused avian mortality when:.
applied in agroecosystems_Compounds frequently used on courses and recognized by the U.S.
Environmental Prot iQn_Agency as having caused bird poisonings include bendiocarb,
c orpyrifos, ethoprop, and isofenphos."The lack of rigorous field inspections, scavenging of
carcasses, and transitory nature of birds are among'the factors which make assessing the
magnitude of bird poisonings on golf courses difficult.
Direct sublethal effects of environmentally realistic considerations of organophosphorus
and carbmate pesticides include anorexia, muscular incoordination, lethargy, altered
thermoregulation, and altered behavior. Indirect impacts include the loss of prey base leading to
starvation and nest/territory abandonment. Although tolerated by organisms in controlled
laboratory studies, these sublethal impacts may translate to mortality in the field, particularly when
combined with other stressors, such as temperature extremes. Young birds (<1 to 3 weeks) are
particularly susceptible due to lack of complete thermoregulation and dependence upon parents
for food.
A proactive framework is recommended for addressing concerns about pesticide use and
wildlife in areas with intense development pressures. The approach would collect existing
toxicological and chemistry data and then interpret and apply this data with regard to local biota,
soils, hydrology, climate, and environmental regulations. The process should draw on the local
expertise available through the Cooperative Extension Service (e.g., Integrated Pest Management
and Best Management Practices), natural resource management agencies (endangered species,
important habitats, and extent of bird use in areas), environmental regulatory agencies (existing
water and sediment quality and standards), landscape architects (effective design considerations),
and the public.

A widely reviewed document addressing these concerns will provide all parties with
up-to-date guidance, and, to the extent possible, consensus on best management practices. The
process will also identify areas where information gaps exist; these will be the focus of research
and define monitoring objectives. monitoring should have pre-defined triggers for mitigative
measures which are essential components of course design and management.
The combined efforts of golf course planners, engineers, developers, landscape architects,
academia, regulatory agencies, and county residents can provide the framework to define and
address community concerns over the hazards of pesticide use on golf courses. This commitment
from all parties is essential to ensure that efforts -to make courses attractive to wildlife are not
creating attractive nuisances.

Bob Parr
New Hanover Physician
Today I would like to share with you some experiences from my life as a golfer, an
environmentalist, and a physician. As a Golfer, I offer you the premise that the challenge and
enjoyment of golf comes from developing an athletic skill in the company of good friends. Design
characteristics of individual golf courses are secondary to enjoyment of the game. Let me
illustrate this point. I learned to play golf from my father at Firestone Country Club in. Akron,
Ohio. We played the South Course, home of the World Series of Golf and the American Golf
Classic. Number 16, the "Monster", was my favorite hole - 625 yard par five ending with a ball
eating water hazard to the right of the green. In one incredible week as a teenager I battled the
"Monster" myself on Monday and Tuesday, then from the gallery that weekend I watched Palmer
and Nicklaus battle it out on the same hole. Quite an experience for a golfer of my age!
Yesterday, my wife and I played golf at a small public course in Wilmington. Although the
Wilmington course was no match for the ideal, velvet fairways of Firestone, our. match yesterday
was just as exciting and fun as any from my youth. Although the two golf courses are both years
and hundreds of miles apart, the experience of playing the game was the same, because of the
challenge of the sport and the fulfillment of good companionship.
During our discussions today it is important to keep in mind that the environmental
problems associated with golf courses result from the way we build and maintain our courses and
not from the game of golf. A championship course in the United States alters the existing
environment to create an aesthetic "ideal" - generally a carpet of exotic turf out of character with
the pre-existing environment. The natural environment is forced to fit the aesthetic "ideal". This
approach comes at eat environmental expense as se iment estici es, a ici es, an ertilizers
migrate off the course and degrade surrounding public waterways: Excessi-ve-3n-i-n-c-i-if costs are
incurred for construction/maintenance expenditures and regulatory/legal penalties:,. VL ast_
resources are depleted to construct and maintain the aesthetic "ideal" in the wrong lace. It is
time aest etic t eats" give way for environmental realities. I suggest to you that the "ideal"
course is not necessary for great golf. If you doubt this fact try one of the historic, low impact,
courses of Scotland.

I live on Howe Creek, a tidal creek of immense importance to the marine environment of
New Hanover County. For thousands of years people have harvested the fish, shrimp, crabs and
shellfish of the creek. Studies by marine scientists have identified an overwhelming abundance of
marine larvae, juvenile fish, and benthic invertebrates in the creek's productive waters. Benthic
surveys (studies designed to document organisms living on and within the creek bed) were first
completed in 1987 and identified many rare and unique organisms. The waters were so pristine `
that the State of North Carolina designated Howe Creek as Outstanding Resource Waters. In
1988 construction of a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course began. Despite assurances from the
developer, designer, and State regulatory agencies that "no harm would come to tha-c=k" Howe
Creek has never been the same Construction of the course alterc.

;e. Despite
hours of
monitoring by State an Fed - er genies, an es ite the stated intentions of the developer, the
public waters o Howe Creek have been severely damaged. _The lesson o owe creek is that a
championship golf course should never have been built on the present site. Despite all the
promises and fines, public waters have been severely damaged to maintain the aesthetic "ideal".
Truly 'a costly and avoidable error.
t.
Another case study with the same conclusion. A friend of mine lives on the Mitchell River 1.,
in North Carolina. An avid trout fisherman, he has watched the Outstanding Resource Waters of
the Mitchell River turn turbid and unproductive after a golf course was constructed upstream.
The bent is environment of the river. the foundation of the trout s erv, has been severely
dames Clear warnings were made to the developer and to State and Federal officials but too
tittle was done too late. OO?ce agn?public-waters of outstanding quality were severely damaged
by off-site pollution from golf course activities. The "ideal" course in the wrong placeAt is clear
that Outstanding Resource Waters can not be protected by outdated and after-the-fact State
regulations.
Should golf courses be located on the shores of Outstanding Resource Waters? Of course
not! These waters are of such value to the general public that they deserve our highest
protection-Even a children's Hospital or a Museum of Art would be out of place, destructive,
and contrary to the public good. Better sites for hospitals, museums, and golf courses exist.
As a physician, people often ask me about the dangers of golf course chemicals. The
pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers used on golf courses can cause both immediate
and chronic health problems. In my practice of Emergency Medicine I have seen both golfers and
greenskeepers affected by these chemicals due to acute exposures on the course. More
worrisome are the effects of chronic exposure that often go undetected.' 2,4-D, a common
herbicide used on golf courses, has been linked to excessive rates of non Hodgkins lymphoma in
Kans Even the dogs of home owners using this chemical are at risk.- The National
Cancer Institute has reported that dogs whose owners used,' the chemical on lawns only once a
year have an increased risk or developing malignant -lymphoma. Clearly golfers have a right to
35
know what chemicals they are being exposed to during a. round of golf. Clearly adjacent property
owners and public waters should be protected from off-site drift of golf course chemicals.
The environmental effects of these chemicals are equally hazardous. Marine larvae and
aquatic invertebrates the very foundation of the marine ecosystem, are exceedingly sensitive to
these chemicals. Clearly, golf courses which utilize these chemicals should not be constructed
adjacent to aquatic nursery areas. _
Can golf and a clear safe environment coexist? Most assuredly, but only if we recognize
our environmental realities and responsibilities, concentrate on golf and not the aesthetic "ideaP"
and learn from the mistakes of our past.

166 Executive Summary
167 The North Carolina Departments of Agriculture (NCDA) and Environment, Health,
168 and Natural Resources (DEHNR) conducted a cooperative study under the direction of
169 the North Carolina Pesticide Board, The purpose of this statewide study was to
170 determine if the labeled uses of pesticide products were impacting the ground water
171 resources in North Carolina. Thirty-one widely used pesticides, previously identified
172 by the U S. Environmental Protection Agency (19871 as potential contaminants of
7 3 ground water were selected as primary targets for the study.
74 In phase I of the study, 55 wells in the DEHNR Groundwater Section ambient
monitoring network, representing the major drinking water aquifers of the state, were
5 sampled at least twice and analyzed for pesticides.
7 In phase II of the study, 97 shallow cooperator monitoring wells were installed and
subsequently sampled at least twice in 36 counties across the state. Sites for the
9 cooperator monitoring wells were chosen based on an evaluation of the vulnerability of
s ground water to risk of contamination from the use of pesticides. Where possible, the
.1 areas of highest risk were intentionally selected for this study. Monitoring wells were
2 located adjacent to and downgradient from areas where pesticides were reported to have
33 been applied (within 300 feet) during the previous five years. They were constructed so
'84 that the shallowest ground water could be collected for analyses. The objective of these
s s siting criteria was to use a scientific method for determining monitoring well locations so
186 that the results from the study could be used as an early indication.of the potential for
87 problems associated with pesticides leaching into ground water. Results cannot be
s8 interpreted as representing the quality of ground water near pesticide use areas
89 statewide because study methods targeted areas of highly vulnerable ground water.
190 The cooperator monitoring locations included 79 crop sites and 18 other sites used for
191 electrical substations, golf courses, highway right-of-ways, mosquito abatement areas, and
92 structural termite control sites.
3 Wells were sampled in two rounds, approximately six months apart. If a chemical
was detected in any well, a follow-up sample was collected from the same well and
analyzed for the same chemical and any additional chemicals that the methods
would detect. If a chemical was detected twice in ground water during sampling events
on two separate dates, the closest domestic wells were sampled and analyzed for the
97
98 detected chemical(s) and any additional chemicals that the methods would detect.
199 The owners of the domestic wells were notified by the DEHNR Division of Epidemiology
200 of the laboratory results, the health significance of detections, and the options available
9

2 3 6 In the cooperator well monitoring phase of the study, 26 of 97 wells had pesticide
237 residues detected in at least one water sample collected from each of them. Nine
238 wells had detections of pesticides that exceeded 50 percent of North Carolina
239 ground water duality standards or health-based guidance levels Six of these nine
240 wells had levels which exceeded standards or guidance levels. The remaining
241 detections ranged from less than 1 percent to 45 percent of North Carolina
242 standards or guidance levels Seventy-one of the 97 wells had no pesticide residues
243 detected in water samples collected from them.
244. . Pesticides were detected at least twice in one or more of 17 cooperator
245 monitoring wells. Six of these 17 wells had pesticide concentrations greater than 50%
246 of their ground water quality standards or health-based guidance levels, which could
247 trigger the development of pesticide specific State Management Plans. One of the
248 following five pesticides was detected in these six wells: atrazine, BHC-alpha,
249 dibromochloropropane, 1,2-dichloropropane, and simazine. Simazine was detected at
250 least twice in ground water at four of 20 sites where applications were reported to have
251 occurred within 300 feet of the monitoring wells within five years prior to sampling. At one
252 of these sites, the simazine concentration in ground water exceeded the North Carolina
253 ground water quality standard (interim maximum allowable concentration). Atrazine was
254 detected at least twice in ground water at two of 22 sites where applications were
255 reported to have occurred within 300 feet of the monitoring wells within five years prior to
256 sampling. Neither of these atrazine detections exceeded the North Carolina standard
257 (interim maximum allowable concentration). At another location, dibromochloropropane
258 exceeded the ground water quality standard. At an additional location, 1,2-
2 5 9 dichloropropane exceeded 50% of the ground water quality standard. BHC-alpha
260 exceeded a health-based guidance level at a different location. Fourteen of the 17 sites
261 with detections were in locations where soils have high to very high leaching potential
262 indices. Only one currently registered pesticide was found in a location where the soil
263 had a low leaching potential index.
264 Forty-six domestic drinking water supplies, which are near monitoring wells with
265 detections, were sampled during the study. Eight of these supplies were found to
266 contain pesticide or nonpesticide residues. Five domestic wells contained at least one
267 pesticide (alachlor, 1,2-dichloropropane, and simazine) in excess of health-4ased
268 guidance levels.
269 Some of the pesticides or metabolites most frequently detected in ground
270 water monitoring wells in this study were in the triazine family of pesticides:
271 atrazine (two wells), hexazinone (two wells), metribuzin (one well), metribuzin DA

Started in 1901, the groundwater
study was a collaboration between
two state agencies often at odds
(pit environmental issues - the
Deparlmeii(of Agrimilhir a and the
Department of Environnlenl.
Health and Natural Resources.
The two agencies teamed till to see
if routine pesticide spraying -
rather than spills or intentional
dumping - posed a threat to
groundwater in various parts of
the slate.
In phase one of the study, scien-
tists checked an existing network
of 55 monitoring wells front the
mountains to the coast. They found
pesticides in 13 percens of those
wells, even though many were
located faraway from Geldls regu-
larly sprayed with chemicals.
In phase two, the researchers
installed 97 special monitoring
wells statewide in areas known to
be vulnerable to pesticide leach-
ing. The wells were also installed
within 300 feet of places where pes-
ticides had reportedly been
sprayed during (lie past five years.
Of those 97 sites, 26 were found
to liave some pesticide contand-

who reviewed the study's final
draft, said he thinks the findings
are a cause for concern. "It's not

show that some groundwater is
being contaminated."
The study also reported mixed
findings -for chemicals used out-
side-of farms. Tests near power
lines. for example, where power
companies regularly spray weed
killers. showed traces of a toxic
herbicide - tebuthiuron - in
groundwater. But tests near road-
sides showed no trace of the chem-
icals that the Department of Trans-
portation regularly sprays.
State agriculture officials say the
report will het them decide which

ronmental Protection Agency.
Because of groundwater concerns,.
the EPA Is requiring states to set
special regulations for five pesti-
cides - alachlor. atrazine,
cynazine, metolachlor and
simazine -And possibly others.
"No other study in North Caroli-
na has looked for as many com-
pounds as this one," said Henry
Wade, an agriculture department
employee who coordinated the pro-
ject. Altogether, he said, the state
tested for 31 common pesticides
and scores of other "breakdown
components" of those chemicals.
Umstead, however, says the
report didn't happen without a
fight. Last fall, he and other envi-
ronmentalists protested an
approved draft of the report that, in
their view, downplayed the conta-
mination found in monitoring wells.
Because of the protest. the Pesti-
cide Board directed Wade and
other authors to revise numerous
sections. Their revisions were
approved Tuesday by the Pesticide
Board.
Now the board will have the more
troublesome task of deciding which
pesticides are safe to use in certain
sections of the state. That will force
the panel to weigh whether fann-
ers can find alternative chemicals
- or other ways to control pests -
In areas vulnerable to pesticide
pollution.
.In eneral: we found that cer-
tain chemicals ten to each in

added tTiat Further study is need
to pinpoint areas that are vulner-
able to pollution, particularly in the

Environmental Monitoring Program Page 2
1.0 Introduction
A water quality monitoring program has been established for The Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf
Club. The monitoring program will include monitoring of surface water, pond sediments, and
ground water. The monitoring plan, based on sound, scientific principles will:
1. Establish a baseline of water and sediment quality prior to construction,
?2. Provide data that will establish environmental conditions, thus providing a basis for
measuring compliance with environmental regulations, and
? 3. Ensure that Integrated Pest Management is functioning properly. ,dV Aelt4 a?,cc
An adaptation from a model proposed Madhun and Freed (1990 otes that there are four
basic types of monitoring which can occur: - nodic observation to disclose
changes or trends. With IPM employed this is an integral part of this program; 2) Surveillance -
to comply with an enforcement program. Pesticide application licensing programs require record-
keeping which may be monitored at any time. This will be required by law and serves as a record
of a part of the cultural program; 3) Subjective - spot-checking for broad or open-ended
exploration of problems. A superintendent with training and experience in the golf course
management industry has the background and resources to investigate problems and make
intelligent decisions; and 4) Objective - to provide data for use in developing or confirming the
results of on-going programs. Monitoring operations at The Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club
will focus on maintaining environmental quality and obtaining information on which to make
adjustments in cultural programs using all of these approaches.
Results of the Environmental Water Quality monitoring program provide feedback to the golf
course superintendent, and thus provide a useful management tool. For example, the results of the
program are used in determining the correct application rates and timing of pesticides and
fertilizers, and the optimum operation of irrigation programs.
The Environmental Monitoring Program is established in two phases that coincide with golf
course development. Phase s during the construction and development phase and immediate
post-development time-frame, and Phase II is the post-development, operational golf course.

Sediment. Pond sediment will be sampled from the sediments of three tributaries. The
location is described below and shown on attached map (S means sediment).
Sample Station S-l, thru S-3 are downgradint.
Sample Station S-4.thru S-6 are upgradient to measure sediment that may be
entering the property.
The sediment sampling station will be impounded during construction. Thus, in
subsequent sampling phases, the location will be changed from the tributary to the pond
that will be constructed.
2.2. Sample Frequency. The goal of Phase I is to define c di]hs ate the site.

Surface Water. Surface water samples will be col ecte 'mes pri to begin ning
Phase H. Depending on the construction schedu e, one a eve ill be in Wi-
(December, January, February), Spring (March, nil, Min Summer (June, July,
August), and one in Autumn (Sefffember, October, ov). Should wader not be
available on a given samTZ date, two additional attempts should be made to obtain a
sample within the time period. c? ap 4/
Groundwater. Groundwater samples will be collected three times during this/phase.
Sediment. Sediment will be collected one time during the spring sample time.
This phase of the monitoring program will be converted to Phase II when grassing has been
completed.

variables listed in Table 1. 7
G
The inclusion of pesticides in the alytes as based on several factors that are detailed in the
Integrated Pest Management plan (i eparation) for The Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club.
The primary factors were potential quantity of a chemical that may be used at the club, and the
chemical's mobility, leaching potential, persistence and toxicity based on data in the scientific
literature and computer models. Restrictions have been placed on pesticides and herbicides that
have a high leaching potential; those that have a low to moderate leaching potential will be used
sparingly; and those that will be used most frequently have a very low to no leaching potential and
a rapid degradation time.

2.4. Field Methods. Variables, container type, preservation and holding times for water samples
are given in Table 2, and for sediment samples in Table 3.
Surface Water. A number of variables will be measured on-site, including pH, water
temperature, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance. pH will be measured with a pH
probe that has been calibrated just prior to use. Specific conductance will be measured
with a calibrated specific conductance meter. Dissolved oxygen will be measured with a
dissolved oxygen probe (or by wet chemistry methods) that has been properly calibrated.
Water temperature will be measured with a temperature probe attached to the specific
conductance meter or the dissolved oxygen meter.
Surface water will be sampled by obtaining 'discrete' grab samples of water. Discrete grab
samples are taken at a selected location, depth and time, and then analyzed for the
constituents of interest. Water will be collected in sample bottles that face upstream, and
water is transferred to sample containers that include proper preservatives and labels. The
sample containers are immediately placed in a cooler with ice and are taken to a laboratory
for analysis. /ewc Arl r, **- +
A chain-of-custody program is followed to assure that proper transportation and storage
practices are documented and that the appropriate analyses are being conducted.
A field sampling log of surface water sampling and observations will be maintained. The
log book documents site conditions, including stream water depth, weather conditions,
ements and observations. An example of a page from a field log is given in

roundwater. Groundwater elevation is determined for each well on each sampling date.
After measuring water elevation, the standing water in the well is removed, and replaced
by fresh formation water. The quantity of water removed is determined from the well
volume and recharge rate. In general, high-yield wells are purged of three well casing
volumes of water and low-yield wells are pumped to dryness. Each well is purged using a
portable pump or with a Teflon® bailer that is cleaned between well samples. Water is
suitable for sampling when three consecutive measures of water have stable pH,
temperature and specific conductance readings.
Wells are allowed to recharge after purging to allow the system to equilibrate. Depth to
the water table is re-measured, recorded and water samples are extracted. Extraction
occurs with a pump, or a dedicated Teflon® bailer. Water temperature, pH, and specific
conductance are measured in water that will not be used for laboratory analyses. Water

samples are taken and decanted or drained into an appropriate sample container that has
the proper preservatives and is labeled. Samples are transferred from the sample device to
the sample container in a manner that will minimize turbulence and the loss of volatile
compounds. Samples are immediately placed in a cooler with ice and transported to the
analytical laborato . _ er non-dedicated equipment is used, cleaning procedures
l? outlined by t EPA (1986) w' be instituted. Special attention will be given to
thoroughly cle s, tubing, and other equipment. And, to ensure that the
sample is not contaminated, blanks will be collected and analyzed.
A chain-of-custody program is followed to assure that proper transportation and storage
practices are documented and that the appropriate analyses are being conducted.
A field sampling log on groundwater sampling and observations will be maintained. The
log book documents site conditions, including water depth, observations, weather
conditions, and field measurements. An example of a page from a field log is given in

Sediment. Sediment will be collected with a gravity type sediment coring device or by
hand. Sampling will occur at three locations around the edge of the creek and will be
composited into one sample in the field. The three samples will be collected from near
shore sediments. The approximate top 10-cm of the sediment will retained and analyzed
for the variables listed in Table 1.

4.0. DATA, REPORTING, AND RESPONSE CRITERIA
4.1 Data Storage and Reporting
Data generated from this monitoring program will be maintained by the superintendent along with
other course records and data on pesticide and fertilizer use, personnel, and training. The data
from the monitoring report will be available to governmental officials within 20 working days
from the date of sampling.
Monitoring data from field sampling and from labor tory analyses will be entered into a computer
spreadsheet (e.g., QuattroPro, Lotus 1,2,3). Data analyses will be performed with this data set. A
summary of the results of the surface and groundwater and sediment samples, with a list of any
remedial actions that were taken will be kept.
The golf course superintendent will maintain records of cultural activities at the course. Items will
include application schedules of all pesticides and fertilizers applied to the golf course as outlined
in the Pesticide section of this Plan. Information will include the date of application, rate of
application, product used, and specific location where the material was applied. Scouting records
as part of the IPM program will also be kept.
4.2 Data Analysis
Data generated in the monitoring program will be compared to background concentrations and
State surface water and groundwater standards.
Data will also be compared with State water quality criteria and the USEPA pesticide Health
Advisories Limits (HAL's, given in Environmental Management Plan, Appendix 1, Table Al)
that have been reduced by a factor of 0.5. This is a very conservative factor given that HALs have
a margin of safety of 100 to 1000 already built into the HAL number. In Phase II , concentrations
Turf & Environmental Management Associates, Inc

Environmental Monitoring Program Page 13
of water and sediment variables will be compared with background concentrations to determine
changes from background conditions. Soils data will be compared with known requirements for
turfgrass and adjustments in the fertilization rates will be made.

factor of 10 to obtain a screening criteria (Suter et al., 1989; Warren-Hicks et al., 1989, 1995).
This is a conservative factor in that most measured chronic values would be higher than those
estimated from this factor (Suter et al. 1983).
4.3 Criteria for Management Response
Non pesticide analytes. If concentrations of non-pesticide variables exceed Applicable
State Water Quality Criteria, or if an increasing trend is observed (a statistically significant
trend), or if measured concentrations of nutrients exceed the standard deviation of
background levels by more than two-times, then the media will be resampled and a review
•? 1 /?'4 of management practices, site conditions and weather conditions will be implemented to
determine reasons for increased concentrations. The immediate action will also include a
reduction in fertilizer use and/or an increased proportion of slow-release fertilizers.
?Following the review cited above, these immediate restrictions may be lifted or modified,
as appropriate. Records of all actions taken will be maintained by the superintendent.
Pesticide analyzes. If a pesticide listed in Table 1 is detected in samples at concentrations
below a toxicologically significant level as determined by the USEPA Health Advisories
Limits (HAL x 0.5) or by the aquatic toxicity as measured by LCso x 0.1, whichever is
lower, the following responses will result:

The sample station, from which the exceedance was obtained, will be resampled
and reanalyzed for the pesticide.
Further testing will be required for an additional suite of pesticides ('secondary
level'). A list of secondary pesticides is given is Table 4. Pesticides were included
in this second tier based on the results of the Tier 1 analysis.

The preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club
-Add all nutrient parameters to parameters list for sediment sampling (not just total
phosphorus).
-Why not add a water monitoring location where sediment station S4 is to be consistent with
monitoring both water and sediment at all upstream locations
-Clarify which sediment station will be impounded and sampled in a pond during Phase II.
Surface water samples need to be collected 4 times during Phase 1 (one in each season) not
3 times as currently listed.
.-:?d all nutrient parameters to parameters list for surface water nutrients (not just
N02+NO3, TN, and TP).
-Where is Figure 1 as referenced on page 10?
-Clarify how many years Phase II monitoring will be performed.
-In Phase II monitoring, why is station SW3 listed separately as an addition to Phase 1
stations (it was sampled in Phase I).
-In Phase II monitoring, why not sample 4 times a year as in Phase I, i.e. perform a winter
monitoring as in Phase I monitoring.
1 -In Phase II monitoring, do not reduce monitoring to just spring and autumn after 3 years.
This would miss worst-case summer conditions.
-At station SW3 in Phase II monitoring (the impounded pond) add chlorophyll a to
parameter list.
Overall comments:
- n all sampling I would also suggest performing several sampling events after a rainfall.
-It would be useful to sample metals, fecal coliform bacteria, and also to perform flow
- measurements if possible.

401 Certification
Subject: 401 Certification
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2000 10:51:56 -0400
From: Mark Reich <[e-mail]>
To: John Dorney <[e-mail]>
We have been reviewing the revised wetlands/401 certification requirements.
I have a couple of questions regarding a project we are designing and if we
need to forward the plans to you for concurrence.
1. We are proposing to install a sanitary sewer line using an aerial
crossing to cross a proposed stream approximately 25 feet upstream of an
existing concrete box culvert. We are proposing to construct concrete piers
on both sides of the normal water elevation. The piers are proposed to be
constructed such that the disturbed limits will be at least 5 feet away
from the normal water edge. The pipe is designed to span 40 feet between
the piers and the contractor can install the pipe without encroaching on
the normal water level. We also are proposing to rip rap to stablize the
area between the piers and top of creek bank. It should also be noted that
solid rock is visible in the bottom and sides of the creek. Since we are
not encroaching on the stream banks, does this installation meet the
certification requirements or is concurrence required from your office?
2. The second location we plan to cross is proposed to be bored beneath
the creek bottom. We do not plan to disturbed the creek and to maintain a
10' undisturbed buffer on each side of creek. The proposed crossing has
been previously cleared to the top of bank and vegetation consists of grass
pasture on each side of creek bank. The width of water during normal flow
in bottom of creek is less than 10' wide and we can provide joints at
least 2' from bottom of creek normal water level. What is definition of
"footprint of a stream channel"? The width at top of banks exceeds 20 feet.
Does this crossing meet the certification requirements or is concurrence
required?
3. Would the following design meet the certification requirements? A steel
encasement pipe with welded joints making a continuous pipe length of 60
feet is installed by boring and jacking and ductile iron carrier pipe with
20 foot joints is inserted inside the encasement pipe. The bottom width of
creek at normal water level is 30 feet. The carrier pipe joints inside the
encasement pipe would be within the footprint of the creek bottom.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. We look forward to hearing
from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Reich, P.E.

Dear Mr. Edwards:
You have our ap oval, in acco anc with the attached conditions and those listed below, to 2,036 linear feet of
streams (0.388-acres f waters) for e p ose of constructing a residential and golf course community at the Harris Tract
on Big Woods Roa (SR1716) r w' g near Jordan Lak2i as you described in your application dated November 5, 1999
(and as corrected April 27, 2 0).. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality rtification Numbers 3102, 3103 and 3108. These certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permits -7
Number 13, 14 26 upon issuance by Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other feder. 1, state or local per t/
before you go Eead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control Coastal Stormwaterr
Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accocganying 404 or C A
permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This Certification replaces one issued to you on June
23, 2000.
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 for a new
certification. 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). For this approval to be S
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 remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters 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). iV
2. A final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this Office before the impacts specified
Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications water management
facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the R Stormwater Best Practices
Manual for the (3) three largest tributaries leaving the property (Impacts A, G ). All other small tributaries leaving
the property shall have stormwater management facilities designated to remove t least 50% TSS according to the most
recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Practices Manual. A separate management plan must be proposed for
the golf clubhouse designed to remove at least 35% TSS at the clubhouse site provided that the runoff is then directed
through an 85% TSS removal structure prior to leaving the project. Also, before any permanent building is occupied in a
given watershed, the stormwater management facility for that specific watershed as approved by this Office, must be
constructed and operational. Constructed wetlands or ponds must be constructed on all three largest tributaries prior to
exiting the site. Written DWQ approval is needed for these plans. There shall be no direct discharge of stormwater from
golf course storm drainage piping system to any stream.
3. Additional written approval is needed form DWQ for a mid column, minimize flow (7Q 10) release plans from all wet
ponds. If the (7Q10) release rate is calculated to be zero, a minimum release rate is not required.
4. All Sedimentation and Erosion Control measures for all development activities within the project shall conform to 15A
NCAC 4B .0024 (b)-(e)(i.e., High Quality water standards). In addition, uncovered disturbed areas for roadway and
utility construction shall be limited to a maximum of 20 acres at anytime within each of the three major tributary

Land ces (attn: Mr. John Holley, Raleigh Regional Office) and be approved prior to any wetland impacts.
5. 0-foot vegetation buffer must be established and protected among all perennial streams show on the most
rec ersion of the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic map (approximately at the crossing for hole No.S) and along
streams determined to be perennial by USGS methodology ad excepted by Chatham County as perennial streams. DWQ
shall be copied with this plan within 90 days of the date of this Certification. This submittal must include written
conformation from Chatham County regarding perennial stream buffers for their ytater_aupplyKotection Ordinance.
Development in this buffer zone shall be limited to water dependent structures or as offlJrwise outlined in 15A NCAC
2B .0216(3)(b)(I)(G).
6. Tree removal within 30 feet of stream channels shall be restricted to road and golf fairway crossings in order to protect
the temperature water quality standard.
7. Written DWQ approval is required for water chemistry, macrobenthos and parameters directed at TSS, temperature and
dissolved oxygen for all perennial streams at the site boundaries when channel flow is present. This monitoring plan
must continue for at least (5) five years after all road way and golf course construction is completed on the project.
Three (3) copies of the annual monitoring reports must be sent to the DWQ by April 1" of each year. Remedial actions
to correct any identified exceedance of water quality standards must be proposed by the applicant in these reports and,
when approved by DWQ, implemented by the applicant.
8. A non-discharge permit for wastewater/golf course application must be received from DWQ prior to any wetland
impacts.
9. The following changes need to be made in the site plan to further minimize impacts to streams and wetlands:
a) the road crossings at impact areas C and D shall be eliminated by using cul-de-sacs on the roads,
b) the fairway at hole 16 shall be realigned to avoid stream fill, and
c) the impact at hole 12 shall be eliminated unless required for a stormwater management facility. ! (P
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate for

Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the Harris Tract Development,
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Penrose:
I am writing to provide the following additional information concerning Bluegreen Carolina
Land Development, LLC's proposed development of the Harris tract in Chatham County. I am
providing this information in response to comments made at the public hearing concerning
Bluegreen's application for a § 401 Water Quality Certification, which was held in Pittsboro on April
27, 2000, and to written comments that have been entered into the hearing record.
1. General Project Information/Avoidance and Minimization. of Impacts
The proposed development of the Harris Tract provides for 516 residential units, an 18-hole
public golf course, and a community recreation area on 598 acres. The current zoning for the
property is RA-40 (average of 40,000 sf /lot).with. a conditional use permit for a planned unit
development of 516 dwellings: During the course of local approvals for the project, numerous public
hearings and meetings were held allowing public comment and input. As a result of these meetings,
comments, and approvals the site plan has been modified and improved-to reduce environmental and
other impacts. Some of the improvements include:
• Placement of a 100' undisturbed buffer on the property boundary adjacent to Big Woods Hills
Subdivision. 'A 50' undisturbed buffer follows the remainder of the property.
• Placement of a 75' permanent conservation buffer around the proposed stormwater pond at
the southern end of the property and a minimum 100' buffer along approximately 2900 linear
feet of stream running through the property-

Mr. Dave Penrose
May 30, 2000
Page 2
• Relocation of proposed residential lots near the entrance to Big Woods road away from the
entrance such that the existing visual character of the road is maintained.
• Relocation of the wastewater treatment plant away from the Big Woods Hills subdivision to
a knoll closer to the Golf Clubhouse and proposed residential lots within this development.
• Placing approximately 50% of the project area within open space. Half ofthis area will be left
undeveloped. Much of this open space encompasses existing wet weather draws that will be
left in their present state.
• Providing restrictive covenants that limit the maintained turf area to 35% ofthe actual lot area
and 6500 sf of impervious area for dwellings, walks, and driveways. The cumulative area left
undeveloped when including both natural areas within lots and common open space will be
approximately 40%0 of the project.
• Elimination of a significant road crossing on the main tributary to Jordan Lake running
through the property.
• Conversion of several dry detention ponds to wet ponds to provide enhanced water quality
protection.
2. Water Supply Watershed Protection/Stormwater Management
The project complies with all requirements ofthe Chatham County Water Supply Watershed
Protection Ordinance. The property is located within the WS-1V Protected Area for Jordan Lake,
and a small, portion of the property is located in the Critical Area. Both the Critical and Protected
Area designation require that the impervious, built=upon area not exceed 24%o for the project: The
planned maximum impervious area for the entire project is less than 20%, as indicated below.
Lots (516 lots @ 6500 sf/ lot) 3,354,000 sf
Roadways 1,011,251 sf
WWTP Site 43,560 sf
Golf Maintenance Site 87;120 sf
Clubhouse / Rec. Area 174,240 sf
Sidewalks in Roadways 79,548 sf
Water Tank Site 43,560 sf
Golf Course Cart Paths 256,000 sf
Total
Impervious Percentage
5,049,279 sf (116 Acres)
19.4%
Mr. Dave Penrose
May 30, 2000
Page 3
The County requires that the volume of runoff associated with the first half inch of rainfall
from impervious areas be detained and stored within the project. We have elected to provide storage
for the volume associated with the first inch from impervious areas. A cluster of four wet ponds and
seven extended dry detention basins will located at all defined swales leaving the project. These
devices are located upstream of any planned buffers at the property boundary. The dry detention
basins will be planted with native wire grass or other non-maintained ground covers to enhance
sediment trapping efficiency. The dry basins have been selected for drainage areas ranging from two
to 25 acres. The wet ponds will be used where drainage area exceeds 25 acres.
Additionally pocket weirs are proposed along the main creek running through the project. The
pocket weir is designed to allow normal stream flow to pass unimpeded through a sluice. During rain
events, the sluice will restrict flow allowing stormwater to spread beyond the stream banks and onto
existing vegetated shelves adjacent to the stream. Specific locations for these structures will be
determined in the field. A photograph depicting an example of this structure is enclosed.
Where practical, sheet flow runoff will be encouraged from the golf course areas. In areas
where stormwater runoff is concentrated or collected, all piped systems will be directed to wire grass
bowls or vegetated channels prior to release into wetlands. A 50' vegetated buffer will be maintained
between all golf turf areas and existing jurisdictional streams and wetlands. There will be no direct
discharge of golf course piping to existing streams or wetlands.
3. Sedimentation and Erosion Control during Construction
An erosion control plan for clearing and grubbing of the Phase l roads along with the golf
course has been approved by the regional office of the Division of Land Resources, Land Quality
Section. All. devices have been sized for the volume of sediment runoff expected during one year. In
addition, to ensure that all sedimentation and erosion control measures are functioning properly, we
have committed to hiring an individual solely, responsible for monitoring these control measures on
the project. All devices will be inspected and cleaned out after each significant rain event.
During golf course construction, all significant cuts and fills will be sodded rather than seeded
to minimize time required for stabilization. No disturbed areas will be left unstabilized for a period
of more than 20 working days or 30 calendar days after completion ofwork in that specific area. All
significant cut and fill slopes along the roadway will be tacked and hydroseeded to encourage timely
stabilization.
4. Golf Course Management
A number of concerns have been expressed in the comments concerning the potential impacts
of the golf course on. surface waters and groundwater. These concerns relate primarily to the
application oftreated wastewater, supplemental nutrients, and pesticides/herbicides to the golf course.
Mr. Dave Penrose
May 3 0, 2000
Page 4
By spreading reclaimed water over a large area and making the nutrients in the reclaimed
water available to the roots of the grass through a type of fertigation, there is virtually no risk of
either surface water runoff or groundwater contamination from the application process. Contrary to
the claim of one commenter, grass is an excellent nutrient retention system. Nutrient uptake results
in the fixing of nutrients into an organic form which is an excellent way to incorporate nutrients into
the soil profile. Moreover, the planned loading rate of 0.6 inch per week at very small doses of 0.1
inch will barely make the soil moist.
A study underway at North Carolina State University (NCSU) that is monitoring nutrient loss
from eight golf courses in the Piedmont and coastal plain has found no widespread or repeated
nutrient losses associated with runoff at these locations. Included in these are the Governor's Club
in Chapel Hill; River Ridge Country Club in Clayton; North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh;
Prestonwood Country Club in Raleigh; Keith Hills Country Club in Buies Creek; Kinston Country
Club in Kinston; Cape Fear Country Club in Wilmington and Landfall Country Club in Wilmington.
For more information on this study, you may contact Dr. Tom Rufty at [phone] at NCSU.
With respect to groundwater, the risk of contamination from the application of pesticides,
herbicides or supplemental nutrients has been determined to be extremely low for all golf courses
completed in the last fifteen years, largely due to the best management practices (BMPs) routinely
implemented.
It should be noted that the County requires all golf course projects to design an implement
an approved surface water and groundwater monitoring program. `Results from the periodic sampling
required for this project will forwarded to the County for review andwill be available to the public
for review at the County Environmental Health Office:
Let me turn now to the details of our planned nutrient and pest management practices and
their contribution to water quality protection.
Nutrient Management. The nutrient management program for the golf course will
encompass the requirements oftheNeuse/Tar-Pamlico guidelines for nutrient sensitive waters. BMPs
for water quality protection will including the following;
• Fertilization practices will be based on a soil test and supplemented with plant tissue testing.
• Compacted soils will be cored or aerified to reduce runoff and aid phosphorus (P) and lime
in entering the soil.
• Fertilizer rates on slopes, when using quickly-available sources of nitrogen (N) will be no
greater than 1 l to 22 lbs. of N per acre.
Mr. Dave Penrose
May 30, 2000
Page 5
• A buffer zone of low-maintenance grasses will be maintained around all surface water.
• On cool-season grasses, iron will be used as a supplement to N for a greening response.
• Slowly available sources of N will be used and no fertilizer will contain more than 50%
quickly available N.
• The time of applications will be made with great care (i.e. no fertilizer will be applied before
a heavy rainfall).
• After each application of quick-release fertilizer, it will be irrigated so that it washes off the
foliage and into the soil profile, allowing microbes to degrade and use the fertilizer.
• Irrigation management will be practiced to deficit irrigate and manage the soil from wet-to-
dry conditions to avoid over-irrigation.
• Grass clippings will be recycled to reduce the amount of fertilizer needed to produce healthy
turf.
• A drop spreader will be used near bodies of water for applying fertilizer.
No fertilizer will be applied within 25 feet of surface water.
• Fertilizer will be swept or blown off impenetrable surfaces and back onto turf areas.
• Realistic fertilizer rates will be used for all types of turfgrasses planted on the golf course and
surrounding grounds.
• All nutrient sources will: be quantified including the loading from the wastewater treatment
facility and a complete nutrient budget for N, P, and potassium will be developed,
• Records to document plan implementation will be kept and reviewed by 'a qualified turf
management or soil science specialist. This will include soil test results and recommendations
for nutrient application; quantities, analyses and sources of nutrients applied; dates and
methods of nutrient applications; in addition, records will include results of water and plant
analyses; and dates of review and person performing the review, and recommendations that
resulted from the review. These records will be maintained for five years, or for a period
longer than five years if required by Federal, state, or local ordinances, or program or contract
requirements.

Pest Management. Bluegreen will develop and implement an integrated pest management
(IPM) plan. IPM is a program that uses information about turfgrass pest problems and environmental
conditions which may precipitate these problems, and integrates these with turfgrass cultural practices
and pest control measures to prevent or control unacceptable levels of pest damage (Ferrentino,
1990). This approach integrates a number of efforts including:
• development of a healthy turf that can withstand pest pressure;
• judicious and efficient use of chemicals;
• enhancement of populations of natural, beneficial organisms; and
• effective timing of handling pest problems at the most vulnerable stage, often resulting in
reduced pesticide usage.
IPM is an ecologically based system that uses both biological and chemical approaches to control.
IPM strategies will be incorporated into every aspect of golf course operations as they relate to
environmental impact.
The IPM approach includes the following six basic components:
monitoring of potential pest populations and their environment;
determining pest injury levels and "establishing treatment thresholds;
• decision making, developing and. integrating all biological, cultural, and chemical control
strategies;
• educating personnel on all biological and chemical control strategies;,
• timing and spot treatment utilizing either the chemical; biological or cultural methods; and
• evaluating the results of treatment.
IPM programs rely on six basic approaches for plant and environmental protection. These
include the following:
1. Regulatory Using certified seed and sod to prevent unwanted weed contamination
and selecting the best adapted turfgrass species.
Mr.. Dave Penrose
May 30, 2000
Page 7
2_ Genetic - Selecting improved grasses which perform well in specific areas and show
a resistance to pest problems.
3. Cultural - Following recommendations made for proper primary and secondary
cultural practices which will maintain the turf in the most healthy condition and
influence its susceptibility and recovery from pest problems. Practices such as
aerification, vertical mowing, topdressing, maintenance of proper soil nutrient levels,
sound irrigation management and proper mowing techniques should produce a high
quality turf.
4. Physical - Cleaning equipment to prevent spreading of diseases and weeds from
infected areas.
5. Biological - For a limited number of pest problems biological control can be used
whereby natural enemies are introduced to effectively compete with the pest.
6. Chemical - Pesticides are a necessary and beneficial approach to turf pest problems,
but use can be restricted in many cases to curative rather then preventive applications,
thus reducing environmental exposure. Pesticide selection is based on a risk
assessment approach that strives to use only pesticides that are based on effectiveness,
that are not toxic to non-target species, that act quickly and degrade quickly, and are
not soluble and not persistent. Few pesticide applications will be made on a regularly
scheduled basis. , Exceptions may include preemergence herbicides and fungicides
used to control Pythium and patch diseases. Additionally, materials must be applied
strictly in accordance with label instructions, at labeled rates, under appropriate
environmental conditions (i.e., no spraying on windy days or when rain is forecast),
with a low-volume sprayer to reduce the possibility of drift, and materials will be
rotated as to use. This will deter the development of resistant strains of pests which
may require more frequent and/or higher rates of pesticide applications.
To ensure that surface water and groundwater are protected the IPM plan will address the
conditions of the site, the properties of the soil, the properties of the pesticide; and appropriate
management practices in. light of the other factors. Integrating all of these factors will minimize any
risk of unwanted chemical movement.
Depth to groundwater<and surface runoff potential are important considerations in protecting
natural resources. Attenuation of chemical concentration occurs through distance traveled and the
medium over which water must move (e.g., turf and thatch layers). Groundwater will be protected
by selecting materials which are less water soluble and less persistent and degrade in days to a few
months under these climatic conditions. Surface water will be protected by many mechanisms
Mr. Dave Penrose
May 30; 2000

included in the engineering (e.g., vegetative swales, buffers, locations of golf holes away from natural
resources, dry and wet detention basins, etc.).
In addition, pesticides considered for use will undergo a risk assessment procedure which will
detail criteria by which selection will be made and a recommended list will be developed using only
those materials which show a conservative margins of safety to not leach or be transported in surface
and which present no environmental impact concern.
In addition to providing the foregoing overview of our planned nutrient and pest management
practices, I would like to respond to a number of specific comments made at the public hearing.
One commenter made reference to a 1989 letter from the State Toxicologist recommending
that golf course not be sited near water supply reservoirs. To the best of our knowledge, a copy of
this letter was not entered into the record and we have not obtained one. However, we believe that
Dr. Rudo's remarks may have been made with respect to the golf course planned at Bryan Park in
Brown's Summit, which is sited on the shoreline ofthe City of Greensboro's drinking water reservoir.
Dr. Rudo subsequently reported at the North Carolina Turf Grass Conference in 1994 that in his
division's monitoring program, they have never detected pesticides in the reservoir. We also
understand from the golf course superintendent at Bryan Park that he is unaware of any detections
of pesticides in the surface water monitoring program conducted by the City of Greensboro. This is
strong evidence that sound turf management and integrated pest management can ensure that golf
courses do not adversely affect water quality.
Another commenter raised an issue about the capacity of the vegetation and soils at the site
to absorb phosphorus. In the opinion of our soils and turf grass experts, there is absolutely no danger
of the soils at the site becoming saturated with phosphorus at the proposed loading rate of 40 to 80
pounds per acre per year. In fact, this low rate of application will not meet turf needs and additional
phosphorus, fertilization will be needed;
With respect to the proposed vegetated buffers on fairway stream crossings and other water
bodies mentioned above, we. disagree with the suggestion by one commenter that such buffers will
be ineffective. If the areas in question are properly engineered, constructed and sound agronomic
practices are implemented, there will be no erosion or channelization. Grasses are the preferred
erosion control materials. In fact, we believe that the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has given
mitigation credits to Starmount Forest Country Club (which in turn sold these to NC DOT) for
establishing vegetative buffers on fairway crossings along a stream corridor which runs through the
Country Club's golf course.
Finally, a question was raised about the nature of the bedrock at the site and whether it
complicates groundwater monitoring or increases the risk of ;groundwater contamination. We
acknowledge that the subsurface features of the site make groundwater monitoring somewhat more
Mr. Dave Penrose
May 30, 2000
Page 9
difficult, but effective and accurate monitoring is by no means impossible and will be carried out in
accordance with an approved groundwater monitoring plan. According to our hydrogeologist, Dr.
Ed Andrews, the subsurface features in no way increase the risk of groundwater contamination.
5. The Wastewater Treatment Plant
Several commenters raised concerns about the performance of the on-site waste water
treatment plant and its potential impacts on water quality. The Harris Tract's wastewater treatment
plant will incorporate several components to minimize any potential for wastewater treatment plant
malfunction. These include: (a) 100 percent backup for main plant aeration blowers and most pumps;
(b) a second power supply (on-site generator) with an automatic transfer switch; (c) parallel treatment
processes for major components of the plant; and (d) both chlorine and ultraviolet disinfection
systems are provided for fecal coliform reduction.
In order to prevent the release of partially treated effluent into the irrigation pond system,
DWQ regulations require that a 5-day upset pond be constructed after the treatment plant and that
the plant's effluent be monitored for turbidity on a continuous basis. Ifthe turbidity level exceeds 10
ntu, then an automatic dialer system notifies the plant operator so that a site visit can be made to
discover the reason for the elevated turbidity and for the operator to transfer the effluent from the
irrigation ponds to the 5-day pond. Finally, the treatment plant is equipped with a flow equalization
chamber to provide a stabilized flow into the plant. This chamber reduces the potential for peak
surges through the plant, thus reducing. the potential for plant process upset due to a high hydraulic
loading during the daily peak flow periods. The treatment plant design as described above greatly
reduces the potential for a plan malfunction.
As stated previously, if the turbidity of the plant's effluent exceeds.10 ntu, then the effluent
is directed to the 5-day upset pond. The 5-day, storage period should provide the operator with
sufficient time to correct the treatment process upset and reduce the turbidity level below the transfer
level. Once the plant is operating properly, the stored effluent in the 5=day pond is then re-circulated
back through the plant for further treatment
Both the 5-day and inclement weather storage ponds are designed to provide the required
storage volume and still have an additional two feet of freeboard above those levels. Overflow should
not be a problem as long as the system operator is irrigating as required. Additionally, during
construction, every attempt will be made to direct surface waters away from the ponds so that storm
water entry is reduced to a minimum. Finally, all of the ponds have been designed with a 2-foot thick
interior clay finer to meet the DWQ standards for pond leakage.
Reasons that wastewater treatment plants fail to comply with their permit limitations include:
(a) inadequately sized, or lack of, treatment components (b) receipt of high-strength wastes or high
hydraulic flows beyond the plant's ability to treat; (c) mechanical equipment failure; and/or

(d) operator error or lack of attention. The design of the Harris Tract wastewater treatment plant
has attempted to reduce the impacts from items (a), (b), and (c) above by using conservative plant
component sizing criteria and by using back-up equipment. We believe that the criteria used for this
treatment plant's components either meet or exceed the DWQ's recommendations for plant
component sizing for this type of plant and the use of back-up equipment will reduce the potential
for loss of treatment process due to mechanical failures. With respect to item (d), the Harris Tract
must employ a certified and licensed wastewater treatment plant operator to maintain and operate the
plant. This operator will be required to visit the plant site on a regular basis and will be required to
make all adjustments to the plant which are necessary to ensure that the plant functions properly.
Finally, unlike most package plants, this plant will be monitored on a continuous basis for turbidity
and an automatic dialer will notify the operator if the turbidity level exceeds 10 ntu.
I am providing you under separate cover copies of the site plan drawing and cross-section of
a proposed golf course stream crossing, which we used as exhibits at the public hearing. My
understanding is that Kevin Martin has previously provided you with an updated impacts map.
If you have any questions concerning the project or the information provided herein, please
do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for the opportunity to provide these comments.

Re: The Preserve at Jordan Lake, DWQ #991233
401 Water Quality Certification - Chatham County
Dear Mr. Dorney:
We are in receipt of your certification letter dated June 23, 2000. We request that certain conditions included
within the certification be clarified or modified. Our requested revisions to the certification are as follows:
Conditions
#2 A final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this Office before the
impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and
specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the
most recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual for the (3) three
largest tributaries leaving the property (Impacts A,G,&K). All other smaller tributaries leaving the
property shall have stormwater management facilities designed to remove 50% TSS according to the
most recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. A separate
management plan must be proposed for the golf clubhouse designed to remove 35% TSS at the
clubhouse site provided that the runoff is then directed through an 85% TSS removal structure prior to
leaving the project. Also before any permanent building is occupied in a given watershed, the
stormwater management facility for that specific watershed as approved by this Office, must be
constructed and operational. Constructed wetlands or ponds must be constructed on all three largest
tributaries prior to exiting the site. Written DWQ approval is required for these plans. There shall be no
direct discharge of stormwater from golf course storm drainage piping system to any stream.
#3 Additional written approval is needed from DWQ for a mid column, minimum flow ( 7Q10 )
release plan from all wet ponds. If the ( 7Q10) release rate is calculated to be zero, a minimum release
rate is not required.
#4 All development activities within the project shall conform to 15A NCAC 4B .0024 (b) - (e). In
addition, uncovered disturbed areas for roadway and utility construction shall be limited to a maximum
of 20 acres at any time within each of the three major tributary watersheds for the project. A revised
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan must be submitted to the N.C. Division of Land Resources
attn: Mr. John Holley, Raleigh Regional Office ) and be approved prior to any wetland impacts.
July 12, 2000
#7 Written DWQ approval is required for a water quality monitoring plan for water chemistry,
macrobenthos and physical parameters directed at TSS, temperature and dissolved oxygen for all
perennial streams at the site boundaries when channel flow is present. This monitoring plan must
comtinue for at least 5 ( five ) years after all roadway and golf course construction is completed on the
project. (3) three copies of the annual monitoring reports must be sent to DWQ by April 1' of each year.
Remedial actions to correct any identified exceedance of water quality standards must be proposed by
the applicant in these reports and, when approved by DWQ, implemented by the applicant.
#8 A non-discharge permit for wastewater/golf course application must be received from DWQ
prior to any wetland impacts.
Payment to WRP Payment to the Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP) shall be made within
30 calander days of the final County plat approval for Phase 1 or prior to any wetland impacts
whichever event occurs first.
Based upon the requirement to meet 85% TSS on the major tributaries, we will need to impact an
additional 152 LF of stream channel below the proposed water quality pond at Impact "A". The
additional impact will provide the required surface area necessary to meet the 85% TSS at this
location. The mitigation payment to WRP will be increased to account for the additional length of
impact.
Please contact this office if you should require additional information.
Sincerely yours,
J
Did Edwards, General Manager

Attached is my report on the Public Hearing held on April 27, 2000, regarding the
issuance of a 401 Certification for wetland/stream impacts related to the subject project.
The proposed project entails the construction of a golf course and 516 single-fancily
dwellings on a 598-acre track of land. During the development of the project
approximately 1,015 linear feet of stream and 0.413 acre of wetlands (waters) were to be
impacted. Approximately 72 people attended the hearing, including six DWQ staff.
Twenty-three people provided comments at the hearing. The hearing record was closed
on May 29th in order to receive additional written comments. A final decision must be
made within 60-days of the date of the hearing (12y June 25h) or the certification is
waived.
Most of the comments were in opposition to the project, and covered a wide range
of concerns. Due to the size of the project and its proximity to'Jordan Lake, many
comments centered on the impact to the lake. However, due to the slope of the land and
the type of soil and bedrock, concerns also related to the impact to both surface and
groundwater that may result from the spray irrigation of wastewater, the application of
fertilizers, herbicides/pesticides and other toxic chemicals to the golf course. Concerns
were also expressed about sediment runoff from the site during construction. Due to the
steep slopes and hilly terrain, some commentators envisioned considerable earth
disturbing activities so as to "flatten" the ground where greens would be located, thereby
reducing the depth to the "fragile" bedrock and groundwater table.
Apparently this is the first golf course/residential community to be built near/on
the shore of Jordan Lake. I understand the concerns presented during the hearing
process, however, not all of the comments related to the wetlands/stream impact issue of
whether the state should issue a 401 Certification.
The 401 Certification application for this project reflected impacts of 0.413 acre
of wetlands and 1,015 linear feet of stream, including 639 linear feet for the construction
of an irrigation pond and 376 linear feet required for two road crossings. Actual impacts
should be 1,884 linear feet of stream and 0.388 acre of waters. Corrections to the
application were received on April 27, 2000. In order to (better) familiarize myself with
the project, I visited the site on May 18''.
Based on my review of the comments, plus my personal observations, I find no
reason to deny issuance of the 401 Certification. It should be noted that the applicant has
also satisfied the Wetlands/401 Group as regards efforts to avoid, minimize, and mitigate
impacts to streams/wetlands. It is, therefore, my recommendation that the 401
Certification be issued. The attached draft/suggested 401 Certification includes
conditions recommended by the Division and the hearing officer. Hopefully these
conditions will allay concerns expressed at the hearing.
Please note that I did not include Groundwater Sections' recommended conditions
in the Certification. One of their recommended conditions related to the fill material that
would be used and the other condition related to the construction and operation of the
storm water retention pond. Both conditions addressed the protection of groundwaters at
the location of the filling and the retention pond. The actual point of impacts covered by
the Certification are to surface waters, ie, the creeks, and at that point groundwaters and
surface waters are pretty much one and the same. To include the comments would
probably be needlessly confusing. If it is necessary to include the comments, I have
enclosed a disk that contains the suggested/draft 401 Certification. I will be on vacation
next week, but Dave Penrose in John Dorney's shop can handle this.
This is the second 401 Certification case that I have been a hearing officer. I have
found both to be very challenging and stressful because of the short time allowed for a
final decision. I would strongly suggest that the 30-day extension for written comments
NOT be published in the public notice, but instead be at the discretion of the hearing
officer at the time of the hearing. If this is not possible then the deadline for final action
needs to be extended, which may require a rule change or action by the legislature.
Thirty days is simply not enough time, particularly when you consider that other routine
activities must also be handled.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please advise.

HEARING OFFICER'S REPORT
401 Water Quality Certification
Bluegreen Corporation
Harris/Davis Love Golf Community
At the request of Kerr T. Stevens, Director of the Division of Water Quality of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Division), a public hearing was held
on April 27, 2000 to obtain public comments pertinent to the issuance of a 401 Water
Quality Certification for wetlands/stream impacts at a proposed golf course/residential
community in Chatham County, NC. The hearing was held at the Chatham County
District Courthouse in Pittsboro. The hearing was called to order at approximately 7:00
pm on April 27, 2000, and the record of the hearing was closed at 5:00 pm on May 29,
2000. Mr. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional Supervisor in the Division's
Mooresville Regional Office, was appointed Hearing Officer to preside at the -hearing.
Mr. David Penrose with the Division's 401/Wetlands Certification Unit presented an
explanation of the 401 Certification process. Also in attendance from the Division were
John Dorney, Cyndi Bell, Steve Mitchell, and Beth Barnes.
There were approximately 72 people in attendance at the hearing, including
Division staff. Twenty-three people offered oral comments.
Following the opening of the hearing and an explanation of the purpose of the
hearing by the hearing officer, Mr. Penrose provided an explanation of the 401
Certification process. Mr. David Edwards and Mr. Mark Ashness, representing the
applicant, Bluegreen Corporation, were called on to explain the project and measures
proposed to prevent/reduce impacts to wetlands and streams. Following Messrs.
Edwards and Ashness, comments were received from those in attendance that desired to
comment on the proposal. The following is a discussion of the comments received. A
summary of each individual's comment is not provided since most of those opposing the
project basically had similar concerns. Therefore, the following summary limits
discussion to the major concerns of those presenting comments.
DESCRIPTION/SCOPE OF PROJECT
Mr. David Edwards and Mr. Mark Ashness with Bluegreen Development
presented a discussion on the project. Basically the proposal is to develop a golf
course/single family dwelling residential community on a 598-acre tract of land off Big
Woods Road near Jordan Lake in Chatham County. During the development of the
project approximately 1,884 linear feet of stream and 0.388 acre of wetland will be
impacted [note: these figures were corrected from the original application]. The impacts
will result from the construction of road crossings of streams and stormwater structures at
release points from the site. The use of the land for the golf course community has been
approved by Chatham County following several public meetings and hearings. In order
to provide protection from runoff into surface waters and adjoining property the site will
be surrounded by an undisturbed buffer. There will also be stormwater structures
(ponds/filters) constructed at release points from the property to prevent any direct
discharges from the property. The ponds will be designed to retain and store a one-inch
rainfall from impervious surfaces instead of the one-half inch required by Chatham
County. A creek that flows through. the center of the property will also have a 100=- foot
wide buffer (requested by the Corps of Engineers). Over fifty percent of the property will
be retained in open space, with no disturbance to at least 25 percent, excluding property
for home sites. The development would result in 19.4-percent impervious surface. The
development has received an erosion control permit to clear, grub and grade roadways
and golf course areas. Water for the community will be provided by the County, and
wastewater will be treated on-site to reuse requirements for disposal (spray irrigation) on
the golf course.
COMMENTS FAVORING THE PROJECT
Besides the comments made by the developers, there were two others speakers
that stated their outright approval of the proposal, saying that the project would be good
for the area, including Jordan Lake, and that the development could result in improved
roads around the area. Mr. Rick Givens, Chairman of the Chatham County
Commissioners, advised that the subject project met all the requirements of the County,
and that the County had given its approval.
COMMENTS OPPOSING THE PROJECT
Although there were speakers that opposed the entire project/concept, most were
concerned about the impact of the project on the environment, particularly surface and
ground waters, and the loss of habitat and canopy. Runoff from the golf course that
would be high in nutrients and herbicides/pesticides (and other toxicants) plus sediment
would enter Jordan Lake, which has a WS-IV, B, CA classification and is also designated
as Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). The impact on fishing, swimming, and other
recreational activities was of major concern, particularly considering the NSW
designation. Likewise, the impact on groundwater from the nutrients,
herbicides/pesticides, etc., applied to the land was an issue for people living around the
site who depend upon wells for their drinking water. There were also major concerns
about the overall suitability of the site for a golf course due to the steep slopes and hills
on the site. Because of this it is believed that a considerable amount of grading would be
necessary to "flatten" the surface for greens and fairways, resulting in reduced cover to
bedrock and groundwater table. The sediment created from the grading would/could also
impact streams/wetlands if the runoff is not properly controlled. Concern was also
expressed regarding spills of raw wastewater from the on-site wastewater
collection/treatment facilities, and the need for monitoring of stormwater leaving the site.
Part of the project proposal is to construct a dam on a creek that flows through the center
of the property. The need to maintain a minimum flow of water in the creek below the
dam was a concern.
DISCUSSION
Based on a review of the comments received from those opposing the project, it is
apparent that wetlands/stream impact is not the only issue of importance. Many of the
concerns expressed at the hearing do not fall within the scope of the 401 Certification
process. Matters related to sediment runoff from the site during earth disturbing activities
are reviewed and approved by the Division of Land Resources through an Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan. Matters related to the spraying of treated wastewater onto the
golf course for irrigation purposes are reviewed and approved through the Division's
Non-discharge Permitting Unit. Matters related to the use of the subject site for a golf
course/single family dwelling community are reviewed and approved by the County
having jurisdiction over the watershed in which the project is to be built. Any decision
made by the Director must consider whether avoidance, minimization and/or mitigation
proposed by the developer satisfies the intent of 15A NCAC 2H.0500. As previously set
forth in this report; 1,884 linear feet of stream will be impacted by the project. It should'
be noted that the 0.388-acre of proposed wetland (water) impact represents the area of the
streams that will be impacted and is not in addition to the 1,884 feet of stream impact. A
review of the project by the Division's Groundwater section resulted in the following
recommendations: 1) The fill material will be of such quality that it shall not create a
contravention of the 15A NCAC 2L .0200 Groundwater Quality Standards. 2) The
construction and operations of the stormwater detention pond shall not create a
contravention of the 15A NCAC 2L .0200 Groundwater Quality Standards.
CONCLUSIONS
Actions to avoid, minimize and mitigate wetlands/stream impact have been
proposed by the developer, and have been thoroughly reviewed by appropriate Division
staff and the hearing officer. The comments received at the hearing basically reflected an
overall concern about the size of the development and whether there could be adequate
controls over sources of pollution (such as the chemicals applied to the golf course, the
wastewater collected and treated and ultimately disposed on the golf course, and the
sediment and erosion that would occur during the construction of the project, etc.). The
lack of adequate controls and monitoring of these controls could result in the impairment
to the waters of the state expressed at the meeting. However, based on the proposal
presented by the developer it appears that the project can be constructed with adequate
controls and monitoring to assure that surface and ground waters are not impaired by the
project, except in those areas allowed by the 401 Certification. The impacted areas have
been minimized and the developer has agreed to contribute to the Wetlands Restoration
Program to compensate for the impacts to the stream/wetlands noted above.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on a review of the comments received as well as the Division's review of the
application and supporting material, it is recommended that a 401 Certification be issued
to Bluegreen Corporation. The attached suggested/draft 401 Certification has been
prepared to included appropriate provisions/conditions recommended by the Division and
the hearing officer.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, WRP
Bluegreen Corp.
451 River House Road
Bolivia, NC 28422
Dear Mr. Edwards:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
impact 1,884 linear feet of streams (0.388-acres of waters) for the purpose of constructing a residential and
golf course community at the Harris Tract on Big Woods Road (SRI 716) near Jordan Lake in Chatham
County, as you described in your application dated November 5, 1999 (and as corrected on April 27, 2000).
After reviewing your application, we have decided that this impact is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Numbers 3102, 3103 and 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Numbers 13, 14 and 26 upon issuance by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project (including, but not limited to Sediment
and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed). 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,
unless revisions are proposed to further reduce wetlands or stream impacts, and as modified below. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application for a new
certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter, and thereby becomes 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 211.0506 (h). 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 remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters 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. A final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this Office before the
impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must
include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to
remov /o S-
cording to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best
2
Management Practices Manual. A separate management plan must be proposed for the
club house site. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the
stormwater management facilities, as approved by this Office, must be constructed and
operational, and the stormwatcr plan, as approved by this Office, shall be implemented.
Constructed wetlands or ponds must be constructed on all three tributaries before the
tributaries exit the site. Written DWQ approval is required for these plans. Constructed
wetlands must be built where construction is feasible. There shall be no direct discharge
of stormwater from any portion of the golf course to any stream.
3. Additional written approval is needed from DWQ for a mid-column, minimum flow
(7Q 10) release plan from all on-line stormwater management devices, particularly the
pond at site A.
4. Sedimentation and Erosion Control measures designed to meet High Quality Water
standards must be designed, constructed and maintained properly for the entire site. A
revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan must be submitted to the N.C. Division
of Land Resources ( attn: Mr. John Holley, Raleigh Regional Office) and be approved
before additional land clearing occurs..
5. A minimum 30-foot vegetation buffer must be established and protected along all
perennial streams shown on the most recent version of the USGS 1:24,000 scale
topographic map (approximately at the crossing for hole No. 5) and along streams
determined to be perennial by USGS methodology and accepted by Chatham County as
perennial streams. DWQ shall be copied with this plan within 90 days of the date of this
Certification. This submittal must include written conformation from Chatham County
regarding perennial stream buffers for their Water Supply Protection Ordinance.
Development in this buffer zone shall be limited to water dependent structures or as
otherwise outlined in 15A NCAC 2B .0216(3)(b)(I)(G).
6. Tree removal within 30 feet of stream channols shall be restricted to road and golf
fairway crossings in order to protect the temperature water quality standard.
7. Written DWQ approval is required for a water quality monitoring plan for water
chemistry, macrobenthos and physical parameters directed at TSS, temperature and
dissolved oxygen for all perennial streams at the site boundaries when channel flow is
present. This monitoring plan must continue for at least 5 (five) years after all
construction is completed on the development. Three copies of the annual monitoring
reports must be sent to DWQ by April I" of each year. Remedial actions to correct any
identified exceedance of water quality standards must be proposed by the applicant in
these reports and, when approved by DWQ, implemented by the applicant.
8. A non-discharge permit for the wastewater/golf course application must be received from
the DWQ before construction begins.
9. The following changes need to be made in the site plan to further minimize impacts to
streams and wetlands:
a) the road crossings at impact areas C and D shall be eliminated by using cul-
de-sacs on these roads,
b) the fairway at hole 16 shall be realigned to avoid stream fill, and
c) the impact at hole 12 shall be eliminated unless required for a stormwater
management facility.
We understand thatyouu have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in
order to compensate for these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC
2R.0402, this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A
NCAC 2H .0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h), feet of restoration will be required.
Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR -
Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be
contacted at 919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration
Program. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment.
For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the impact of 1,884 linear feet
of streams (0.338 acre of waters) in 030605 river basin and subbasin, and 724 linear feet of
stream restoration is required. Please be aware that the Wetland Restoration Program
(WRP) rules require rounding of acreage amounts to one-quarter acre increments (15A 2R
.0503(b)).
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. 27611-
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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.
