APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with.Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Lee:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
0.23 acre of wetland and 126 linear feet (If) of unnamed tributaries to the Broad River in order to construct
two dams at the Boot Hill Preserve in Cleveland County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on March 24, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined
that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3376, which can be viewed on
our web site at http://h2o enr state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 4 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note
that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including
those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply
Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permits expire unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you
described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, 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 the Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification, as well as
the additional conditions listed below:
1. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and
maintenance of such BMP in order to protect surface water standards. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any
kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the
Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities shall be performed such that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.

Mr. Scott Lee
Boot Hill Preserve, LLC
6135 Park South Dr., Suite 510
Charlotte, NC 28210
Subject: Boot Hill Preserve
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Lee:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
0.23 acre of wetland and 126 linear feet (If) of unnamed tributaries to the Broad River in order to construct
two dams at the Boot Hill Preserve in Cleveland County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on March 24, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined
that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3376, which can be viewed on
our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 4 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note
that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including
those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply
Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permits expire unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you
described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, 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 the Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification, as well as
the additional conditions listed below:
1. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and
maintenance of such BMP in order to protect surface water standards. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any
kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the
Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities shall be performed such that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.

2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two months of the date the Division of Land

5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): . ? uplands stream wetlands
Describe the method of construction. (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Dam/embankment with flashboard riser. Water level
raised 1.5 - 2 feet in winter; principal spillway (pipe) open spring - summer season.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): wildlife habitat enhancement
Size of watershed draining to pond: 139 acres Expected pond surface area:
Water intake structure 0.3 acres
Shallow water pond 2.7 acres
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Water intake structure will involve clearing and fill material at dam site only. Ponded area will
be left in woodland resulting in a shallow flooded wetland with an overstory dominated by mask
producing hardwoods during the fall and winter months. It will revert to natural conditions in
spring and summer when water is not impounded. The shallow water pond will create wetland
conditions (6" - 18" water) during the fall and winter months on 2.7 acres It is estimated that
0.1 acres or more of permanent wetland will be created by low areas within the pond The
planting of vegetation and crops for food and cover along with native volunteer vegetation from
the moist soils conditions will attract migrating birds as well as enhance the site for numerous
resident wildlife species. Dikes/dams will be stabilized with fescue Other disturbed area will be
stabilized including the planting of vegetation suitable for wildlife enhancement See enclosed
plan for further details.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
hLtp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/strrngide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

Plan for Wetland Area
The plan resulted from meetings between the team members and the Scott family. The
planning team has also completed a series of on-site investigations. The guidelines are
compatible with Wetland requirements and the landowner's objectives for encouraging
waterfowl, wild turkey, whitetail deer, bobwhite quail and other wildlife to use the property.
The bottomland is located on Broad River. If the river floods, damage to dikes is very likely.
Hydric vegetation exists in the forested areas. The under story vegetation consists of
sedges, rushes, grasses and some native forbs. None of the forested under story plants will
be destroyed during construction and will provide habitat for wildlife.
It is the landowners desire to have a large area of shallow water wetlands and also to have
an area that would serve as wetland wildlife management area. This management area will
be drained in the spring. In early fall after the native vegetation and the planted crops have
matured, the area will be flooded. Stream flow from a 139 acre drainage area will be used
to flood the shallow water wetlands. The water level will be controlled with flashboard risers.
Objective of Plan:
To develop shallow water areas to an average depth of 6 to 18 inches for wildlife.
Enhance shallow water habitat that provides nesting and foraging opportunities for
migratory birds, wild turkey, deer and many other animals and fish.
Plant annual crops for migratory birds, wild turkey and deer.
Description of Restoration & Management
The attached map identifies Habitat types within the Wetland area. The narratives describe
the:
• desired hydrologic regime,
• dominant vegetation,
• methods to improve hydrology and vegetation,
• compatible management of water and vegetation,
• wildlife intended to benefit from each habitat type, and
• any special considerations
1. Wet Meadow or Annual Crop Habitat
Installing water control structures and managing vegetation will improve this habitat. This
seasonally flooded wetland will be flooded from October 1 through April 1 each year. The

United States Department of Agriculture
0 MRCS
area will be planted annually to crops such as corn or rice depending on weather conditions.
If native vegetation is allowed to grow, vegetation such as annual forbs, sedges, rushes
(reeds) are desirable throughout this area since they produce large quantities of highly
nutritious seeds. If annual crops are not planted, native vegetation is acceptable. Minor
areas of shallow water may remain in the lowest section of impoundment during years of
normal precipitation. Use of non-toxic shot is strongly recommended for any shooting over
this habitat to prevent accidental waterfowl poisoning.
2. Swamp Forest Preservation
Swamp forest is a shallow flooded wetland with over story dominated by mask-producing
hardwood trees. This area is located along streams flowing into the Board River. This
habitat provides nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. The under story is dominated
by habitat described above for wet meadow habitat with natural vegetation. A shrubby edge
zone is desirable along the buffer. If shrubs or trees begin to dominate beyond the edges of
the edge habitat, management such as burning, disking, chopping, or mowing is desirable.
The edge zone will provide wood duck brood rearing habitat, feeding habitat for wading
birds, shorebirds and wintering/migrating waterfowl. Use of non-toxic shot is strongly
recommended for any shooting over this habitat to prevent accidental waterfowl poisoning.
3. Bottomiand Hardwood Forest Buffer Preservation
This area consist existing forest buffer along the Broad River with over story dominated by
large, mast-producing hardwood trees and diverse under story plants. Existing vegetation
compliments the wetland habitat restoration objectives of the project. Any restoration
should consider species such as dogwood, redbud, black cherry, wild plum, mulberry, holly
and black locust. Also, mast-producing species such as oaks, hickories, elms, beech and
black gum should be considered for their wildlife value. The hydrology is influenced by the
depth of stream bank.
This habitat will provide nesting and foraging opportunities for migratory birds, wild turkey
and deer.
4. Habitat for Deer, Turkey and many other Animals
This area consist native grasses in the 20' buffer around shallow water impoundment. The
area also includes the area uphill of the shallow water. Management such as disking,
chopping or mowing will provide nesting and foraging opportunities for migratory birds, wild
turkey and deer. Use of non-toxic shot is strongly recommended for any shooting over this
habitat to prevent accidental waterfowl poisoning.

Management of Shallow Water and Swamp Forest for
Waterfowl & other Wetland Wildlife
• Native plants that become established under a moist soil management regime have
greater nutrient value for waterfowl and do not deteriorate as quickly as row crops
when flooded (see Table 1).
• Moist soil management creates diverse stands of plant species that in turn attract a
greater diversity of wildlife species.
• Moist soil management increases the population of snails, insects and earthworms that
are very important food sources for birds.
• Moist soil management provides water later into the year, providing wetland feeding
and resting habitat for late migrating birds and resident species.
• The water regime under moist soil management significantly decreases the potential for
nutrient runoff from the site.

Table 5 - Operation & Maintenance Schedule
JANUARY - Annually:
MARCH Inspect the embankment for damage by erosion and burrowing animals.
Repair damage as necessary.
• Inspect water control structures and remove any debris that could
impair the operation of the structure.
Every 3-5 years (as needed):
• Mow or burn the vegetation on the embankment and buffer area to
prevent woody plants from becoming established.
• Mow or burn about 1/3 of the area each time to maintain a balance of
wildlife cover. Use fire or mowing between October and March to
protect ground nesting animals.
MARCH Waterfowl begin return migration to northern breeding sites. Migrating
shorebirds return to NC. Leave flooded through the month of March,
APRIL To provide water later into the season, begin removing boards at this time.
Remove one board every two weeks until drawdown is complete.
JUNE If you began removing boards in April, drawdown should now be completed.
Waterfowl Migration Begins
OCTOBER Start adding boards in water control structure. Boards may be installed all at
once or incrementally. However, all boards must be installed not later than
October 15 of each year.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF PONDS AND RESERVOIRS
Clearing:
to
be
The foundation of the impoundment structure (dam) shall be cleared of all trees,
stumps, roots, brush, sod, and debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding one (1) inch in
diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will
be made of all debris.
Afte roughly leveled, with rsuitable oequipment, before placement of shall be
materially and
Cutoff Trench: A cutoff trench shall be excavated as shown on the plans. The cutoff trench
shall be backfilled in thin layers, not to exceed 8 inches in depth: All standing water shall
be removed from the trench before backfilling is started.
Emhankment Construction: The material placed in the embankment shall be free of sod, roots,
stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable materials. The fill material shall
be placed and spread over the entire fill in layers not to exceed 8 inches in thickness. Con-
struction of the fill shall be undertaken only at such times that the moisture content of the
fill material will permit a reasonable degree of compaction.
Fill Materials: Borrow areas will be designated on the plans and assigned priority (1, 2, 3,
etc.). All fill material shall be taken from these designated areas. SCS technicians will
advise the contractor regarding the maximum depth of cut in each borrow area. The contractor
will not exceed this depth. In the event this depth is exceeded in the impoundment area, it
shall be the responsibility of the contractor, without additional cost to the landowner, to
cover the exposed area with a minimum of 2 feet of impervious material.
Riser & Conduit Pipe: When it is indicated on the plans that a riser and conduit pipe are re-
quired, they must be installed as a complete unit. The inlet of the riser shall be protected.
by an inverted bucket-type, or an equally effective type, of trash rack. The conduit shall be
placed on a firm foundation. Selected backfill material shall be placed around the riser and
conduit pipe in layers not exceeding 4 inches and each successive layer thoroughly compacted.
Anti-Seep Collars: Anti-seep collars will be of materials and dimensions, and located as shown
in the plans where specified.
Vegetated Spillway(s) : Spillway(s) will be excavated in undisturbed earth to the dimensions,
grades, slopes, and location as shown in the plans and as staked upon the ground.
Pollution Control Durin Construction: Stripping of embankment and borrow areas shall be done
as they are needed in a normal sequence of construction. Use temporary mulch protection on all
disturbed areas that are subject to erosion and will not have substantial additional work per-
formed for 30 days or more. Temporary stream crossing structures will be used where fording of
streams will cause excessive sediment pollution. Protection against pollutants such as
chemicals, fuel, lubricants, sewage, etc., will be provided during construction.
Vegetation: All exposed embankment, spillway, and borrow area shall be seeded to an adapted
type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction.
Special Provisions:
(continued on back)
r ?
VEGETATION SPECIFICATION
Rip and disk all disturbed area 5" deep. Incorporate two tons of lime
per acre. Apply 1000 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre and smooth seedbed.
Uniformly apply 60 lbs. of fescue seed per acre and 25 lbs. of Abruzzi
rye grain per acre. Seeding should be completed between March 15 and
June 1 or August 15 and October 15. Immediately mulch with 2 tons of
small grain straw or tame hay per acre. Reseed any rilled or gullied
areas that may develop.
Note: SCS will determine area to be seeded before vegetative work is
started.

Re: Road & Culvert History - River Bottom
Boot Hill Preserve, LLC
Cleveland County, N. C.
Dear Steve:
Pursuant to your comments and request, outlined below is a history of the culvert and road
location in the river bottom on Mr. Scott C. Lea's Boot Hill Preserve, Cleveland County, North Carolina.
Mr. Lea purchased the property on January 28, 2004 from John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
Company (Hancock). At the date of purchase, the location of the culverts and road were as they are today,
except for grading, installing rip-rap at culvert locations, and seeding the road. There was some repair
work done just prior to Mr. Lea's purchase because of logging damage that occurred during Hancock's
ownership. It appears that several culverts were replaced when the repair work was done.
Hancock purchased the property from Bowater, Incorporated on January 15, 2002. Bowater
purchased the property from Horace and Elsie W. Glenn on June 24, 1968.
Attached are copies of a 1968 Cleveland County aerial photograph tax map and a 1937 USDA
NRCS aerial photograph that shows the road in the same location as today. Also, a discussion with Mr.
Benny Smith, a forester who managed the property for Bowater can attest that the river bottom road was in
the same location while he was employed by Bowater. He is familiar with the road location on this
property since 1987. Another Bowater forester, Mr. Craig Senter, remembers the road from supervising a
timber sale on the property in 1991.
Our conservations with you and Mr. Ben Robinson with the NRCS indicate that several of the
culverts in the river bottom are out of compliance with current standards. When the shallow water
impoundment is constructed, my client, Boot Hill Preserve, agrees to make necessary corrections to bring
the culverts in compliance.
If you have any other questions, please contact me.
Attachment.
