DATE: January 9, 2003
SUBJECT: Review of 404 Application, Appalachian Crest Dam Repair, Boone Fork
Creek (above Price Lake on Blue Ridge Parkway), Watauga County
The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant,
and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977
(33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The applicant is requesting an after-the-fact permit to construct a sediment and
erosion control device in jurisdictional wetlands and to remove sediment from impacted
wetlands. It is our understanding that these activities have already been accomplished;
therefore, we will not comment on past activities.
We are concerned about piecemeal planning and permit activities relevant to
ongoing ground disturbing activities such as dam disturbance and future golf course
development at this site. This office has visited the Appalachian Crest site previously to
discuss opportunities to develop the old mining site into a golf course. During those
visits, opportunities to develop the golf course and restore previously disturbed wetlands
and streams were discussed at length. We generally supported the restoration and
defragmentation of streams and wetlands which we believe would benet7t golf course
development and aquatic habitats. NCWRC fish biologists indicted that restoring a
natural stream around a smaller dam could improve wild trout populations in the area and
in Price Lake.

Appalachian Crest Dam 2 January 9, 2003
We are now informed that the golf course and stream restoration may not be
pursued. If that is the case, we urge the owner to contact the NC Wetland Restoration
Program, the Clean Water Management Trust Fund or the NC Department of
'Transportation Environmental Division to determine if the site could provide a mitigation
bank. It is our understanding that the owner could receive assistance in the design,
construction and costs of restoring previously drained streams and wetlands. NCWRC
biologists believe that this site provides significant opportunities for stream and wetland
restoration that can improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats associated with the Blue
Ridge Parkway and trout waters.
Boone Fork Creek and associated wetlands in the area below the dam provide
significant habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species. Portions of Boone Fork are
Hatchery Supported trout water. Other tributaries of Price Lake support populations of
wild trout. Several state and federal plant and animal species are listed for Watauga
County. It is unknown whether or not listed species are present: or if they may have been
impacted by recent activities. Surveys for listed species should be provided before
additional impacts occur below the dam.
Based on the information provided and our knowledge of the project area, we
recommend that .future activities at the proposed golf course and dam be fully
coordinated as one project instead of piecemealed in order that regulatory and resource
agencies have a clear understanding of the proposed land disturbing activities. The
following recommendations are provided for consideration for any future activities:
1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone
are prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through
April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site
sedimentation during construction.
2. The dam section previously disturbed should be stabilized at current
height to prevent additional sediment impacts to Boone Fork. Creek and
wetlands below the dam. This must be accomplished to the satisfaction of
the NC Division of Land Resources.
3. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is
disturbed and maintained until project completion. Temporary or
permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within
5 days of ground disturbing activities within trout buffers to provide long-
term erosion control.
4. If the lake is reduced in size or removed, stream restoration activities
should be considered and provided if practicable to reconnect waters
around the dam using bioengineering stream restoration techniques. (It
may be possible to restore aquatic life and/or fish passage to the extent
that wild trout might extend their range above Price Lake.)
5. Any future darn and lake reconstruction activities should include
consideration and installation of cold water and minimum flow releases to
reduce thermal impacts to trout waters and Price hake.
6. Native species should be used for restoration activities and for streainbank
stabilization and shade.
Appalachian Crest Dam 3 January 9. 2003
7. If any concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet
concrete does not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of
altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
8. Prior to the removal of additional sediment from impacted wetlands or
work that may impact areas below the dam, the area should be surveyed
for listed species, including but not limited to, the Bog turtle (Clennnyc
muhlenbergii) and plants such as Heller's blazing star (Liatris helleri) and
Gray's lily (lillium grayi).
We believe that this site offers extensive opportunities for both stream and
wetland restoration with or without the proposed golf course. These restoration
opportunities have been discussed with Mr. John Broyhill and Mr. Al Childers. It may be
beneficial if one of the restoration programs would visit or contact Mr. Broyhill at 828-
295-3675 to determine if he is interested in restoration or mitigation programs.
'T'hank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you
have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Matt, I just received your message about this site and the proposed dam breeching. I think that most of us have
been waiting to see permit requests for land disturbances and probably 404 actions involving golf course
development and maybe stream/wetland restoration efforts. Below are some a-mails that I sent out previously. Due
to the location of this property upstream and next to Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) lands and the extent of wetland and
stream restoration potential as well as significant potential for trout habitat improvements, a coordinated approach to
the dam breech or land acquisition may be an option. Of course, this is all just dreaming unless everyone is willing
to pitch in, including the owner, who apparently is not interested in conservation easements but might sell for the
right price. Based on information from Kevin Hining, D-7 fish biologist, it might be appropriate to see if WRP, DOT,
TU, BRRLT, CWMTF, BRP, etc. might consider combining efforts to purchase the property and doing bioengineered
stream restoration activities. Much of the wetland and stream restoration activities would be simply blocking
drainage ditches and putting flow back into remnant channels. I may have more information from Kevin that I will be
able to pass on to you later. Kevin is trying to meet with the owners to see what they are willing to do.
Please do not use this e-mail as an official comment document as I am just trying to let folks know there could be
some great opportunities associated with this site. We thought these activities would occur during golf course
development (see previous comments attached for site details). One would think that preserving the site would be
preferred over adding golf course chemicals to the mix above the BR Parkway.
Officially, we are concerned about sediment, timing of activities due to trout spawning and trout buffer protection
measures. There could be some impacts to wetlands (direct or indirect).
Matt, thanks for the information. I will try to keep you posted if I hear anything from Kevin about a meeting. I think
we should be cautious with whatever we do so that we do not alienate the owners. I and others thought they woulc
move forward with a nice planned amenity. The amount of red tape has basically turned them off and they simply
want to get out of this dam situation if I understand Kevin correctly.
All, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please share them with us.

Importance: High
I recently received some blueprints for this proposed dam breeching. They were sent to me just for information
purposes. Kevin Hining, D-7 fish biologist is trying to set up a meeting with the appropriate people on site to discuss
the owner's plans, both present and future. I think this would be a great place to add to the BRP or to have DOT or
WRP, etc. do restoration work, possibly conservation easements or purchases.
We have dealt with this site before concerning possible golf course construction and stream restoration
opportunities. We have trout in the area and the dam is above Price Lake on the BRP. If this breech is done
properly (preferably bioengineered), trout passage could be restored to thousands of feet of stream above the
present dam. Additionally, there could be other opportunities for water and wetland restoration activities or
parklands. This would depend on the owners and the players involved
The reason for this e-mail is simply to let you know we have recommendations and concerns that we would like to
have addressed through the 404/401 permitting process. Trout buffers considerations are present as well.
Sediment concerns are substantial due to streams/wetlands, trout stocking/propagation, and BRP Price Lake.
Attached is a previous WRC correspondence that contains some pertinent information. Thanks for any assistance.

DATE: May 28, 2002
SUBJECT: Review of an application by John D. Broyhill, Proposed Appalachian
Crest Golf Course, Boone Fork and tributaries thereof, Watauga County
The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field
biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977
(33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The applicant proposes to develop the area along Boone fork Creek into a golf course.
Mining operations previously disturbed the site. Streams and wetlands were also
impacted by drainage ditches and channel relocations. Determinations of current
jurisdictional waters and wetlands would be appropriate and helpful to the developer and
his consultants. Preliminary plans and potential impacts are difficult to review without
defined impacts and a specific facility design.
Kevin Hining and I conducted a site visit on May 21, 2002. Mr. Broyhill and Mr. Al
Childers were present. It appears that current and past drainage practices have diverted
two (2) smaller tributaries directly into Boone Fork Creek. In addition, Boone Fork
Creek is dammed on the lower end of the project. Below this dam, Boone Fork flows tc
Price Lake on the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP). Price Lake is hatchery supported water
that provides BRP visitors the opportunity to trout fish.
Appalachian Crest Golf Course 2 May 28, 2002
The following considerations and recommendations should be useful as final plans are
provided and permits are issued for the development site:
1. Flow should be restored to the two (southern) abandoned streams by plugging
diversion ditches and reestablishing flow to the old stream channels still present in
some areas of the woods. This would restore aquatic and terrestrial habitats as
well as restore hydrology and shade to the stream and associated wetlands.
Offline ponds could be provided for the golf course using ground water or
bioengineered diversions, if necessary.
2. If possible, lowering the spillway and bypassing the dam with a bioengineered
stream channel (Boone Fork) should restore stream functions and possibly aquatic
life and fish passage. Trout in Price Lake may be able to utilize the stream. This
could enhance/establish wild trout populations in Boone Fork and Price Lake.
3. The proposed golf course should recycle irrigation water from offline ponds
instead of using Boone Fork Creek as the main source of irrigation water.
4. Interceptor wetlands or other pollution control devices to reduce the risk of
chemical impacts or releases from golf course.
5. Thermal impact reduction is very important, so shade is critical. Undisturbed
buffers should be provided through conservation easements or deed restrictions
for restored waters as well as any remaining waters and wetlands on the site.
Cool water releases from ponds should be required whenever possible.
6. The developer should work closely with fishery biologists with the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to survey current trout populations and
enhance trout habitat wherever possible. If the smaller tributaries are properly
restored and shaded, trout might populate these smaller channels.
7. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission should be allowed to
monitor aquatic habitats and fish before and after the proposed work is completed
to determine the impacts to downstream habitats and the sport fisheries within
Price Lake.
The following information may be helpful for golf course design and planning:
1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone should be
prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to
protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during
construction.
2. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion. Temporary or permanent herbaceous
vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 5 days of ground disturbing
activities to provide long-term erosion control.
3. Culverts 48" or larger should be buried approximately V into the streambed.
Culverts less than 48 inches in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or
greater than 20% their size to allow for aquatic life passage. The installation
should be accomplished in a manner that prevents damming or drop outlets on
either end of the pipe in order to maintain aquatic life passage. No damming or

I
Appalachian Crest Golf Course 3 May 28, 2002
freefalling waters should occur during low flow conditions. The upstream and
downstream stream dimensions should not be modified.
4. Only native species should be used for the golf course project, including
streambank restoration and stabilization activities.
If any concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete
does not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's
water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
In conclusion, this development may offer some unique stream and wetland restoration
opportunities. In order to accurately review proposed impacts; it is necessary that the
applicant provide large color coded maps showing current conditions, stream/wetland
restoration, stream/wetland buffers and final site layout. Plans should include
information in detail about any Boone Fork Creek flow restoration around the existing
dam. Plans should indicate stream and wetland restoration/enhancements, protective
covenants, and buffers to waters and wetlands. Minimum twenty-five (25) to fifty (50)
feet buffers are recommended for trout waters. We believe that this project has potential
to provide a golf course and improve previously destroyed aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
The potential to provide mitigation credits should not be overlooked by the applicant or
the review agencies. The Clean Water Management Trust Fund, Wetland Restoration
Program, or North Carolina Department of Transportation may provide additional
insights or participation in stream and wetland restoration activities. We will provide
additional site specific comments and recommendations when we review final plans for
any restoration activities and the golf course.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you
have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Appalachian Crest Inc.
Introduction:
This project, even though it is for a golf course and development, has endless possibilities
for stream restoration and wetland enhancement and wetland creation.
There are excellent wetlands on site. There are wetlands that are struggling from lack of
water. There are areas available for construction of new wetlands. This will be presented
by Map Segment A-F on the 8 '/2 x I I format for Corps Permits.
All agencies are invited to visit the site and offer suggestions, alternatives and solutions.
Flexibility will be a major part of this project.
Appalachian Crest History
The following maps are a product of Donald G. Bolick Surveying and E'NV
Environmental Consulting Services, Inc. who did the wetland delineation. The impacted
areas are shown and delineated. There are seventeen (17) different wetland areas
numbered W-1 through W-17. There are two existing ponds. There is one pond that has
been drained. There are eight ponds proposed. In each case, the dam would be small, in
some cases no more that a plug in an existing drainage ditch. One (1) of these proposed
dams would impact wetland and directly benefit the golf course and development. Seven
(7) of these would directly benefit wetland and wetland hydrology.
Gravel Quarry
A large part of the bottomland on this site has been affected by farming and gravel
operations. Both of these endeavors have targeted the draining of wetlands and
disturbance of the vegetation and soils on the area. Aerial photographs are available in
the USDA NRCS office that chronicles these activities. A large pond located at the lower
end of the property also was the cause of depletion of the soils and natural drainage
patterns. Close inspection of the areas where Hole's #1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 18
are located show the impacts of these land uses. Some of the mining operation actually
created mediocre wetlands and areas with potential for improved wetlands. This is what
makes this project so interesting, exciting, and workable.

Map A
Note: Proposed diversion of stream to create new channel, feed wetland system
W-2, W-3, W-4, W-5, W-17, create new wetland (see Map B also).
Note: Existing bridge
Note: Impact to W-5 wetland enhances remainder of W-5 wetland by feeding
more water. Stream channel is northern boundary of this wetland; the
stream has cut down approximately 18", in effect draining the wetland.
Note: One small pond exists, left over remnant of mining operations. Proposed
new impoundment would flood W-2 wetland, but would allow feeding
more water to W-3 wetland. (See Map B also.)
4 Items
Map B
Note: Access road will cross small stream, propose to impound and build small pond,
create additional wetland.
Note: Adjacent and below Green #12 area is a proposed impoundment; it is a dry pond.
This will enhance wetland. Area east and adjacent to impoundment will be new
wetland.
Note: Major element on this page is new pond development, which will elevate the
water table and improve hydrology and allow diversion of more water through
wetlands.
Note: Impact to W-2 wetland is flooding. Impact to W-4, W-5, W-6, W-7 is fill.
Overall this page negative and positive impacts negate each other.
4 Items
Map C
Note: There are three areas of fill in the fringe areas of the large lake. One on the front
end of #8 Fairway, one in the middle of #2 Fairway, one to create the green for
#7. All were under water prior to pond stand pipe being lowered.
Note: The remaining three fills are in the edge of wetland W-8, W-9, and W-10.
Note: A ditch plug has been planned for lower end of W-11 wetland to improve
hydrology.
Note: Three areas for potential new wetland development.
2 Items
Map D
Note: Impact to W-13 is a culvert and access road for the development.
Note: Small dam placed at lower end W-15 will flood just enough of this wetland to
improve the hydrology.

Creation 1500 feet new channel
Estimated Enhanced Wetlands 5 acres
Impact Other
There are approximately 10.5 acres of lake fringe. These areas depend on the functional
level of the lake. The riser height has been lowered 51" below the level indicated on the
maps. The level indicated 1.5' below spillway; now that is 18" plus 51" = 69" or 5.75.

Approximately two acres of this fringe will be altered by placing fill and excavating in
the fringe and pool area. These areas are shown on primary frill-scale map.
Maintenance excavation will be done on the lake pool area to acquire sand and topsoil for
placement on greens and fairways. Excavation will be done 25' from the drained pool
edge. This excavation will be done by developing dug pools with no outlets.

WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT
PROJECT NAME: Broyhill Appalachian Crest
LOCATION: Watauga County, NC
GENERAL:
The location of the site is west of Blowing Rock at the intersection of NC highway 221
and Holloway Mountain Road. The site is located northeast of this intersection and south
of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The site is approximately 270 acres. Boone Fork Creek
flows west to east through the site, an existing dam at the lower end of the site creates a
lake covering approximately 11.0 acres. This lake was built in the late sixties by the
previous property owner. Elevations on the site range between 3420 and 3640 feet above
mean sea level. There are two drainage subbasins on the site. One of which is located in
the northern third of the site, Cold Prong Creek, and the other in the central and southern
portions of the site, Boone Fork Creek. The majority of the wetlands on the site are
located in the Boone Fork Creek subbasin.
HISTORY:
Appalachian Crest purchased the major portion of the land in 1972 as a partnership. Since
then the partnership has been dissolved leaving only Mr. Broyhill. In the past several
years Mr. Broyhill has purchased several additional small tracts around the perimeter of
the original tract. The site was first mined for gravel in the 1930's in conjunction with
constriction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The dam on Boone Fork Creek was constructed
in the 1960's creating the lake at the lower end of the site. Burns & Spangler Company
mined the area from 1980 to 1983 for gravel in conjunction with Hwy. 321 construction
between Boone and Blowing Rock. This latest mining activity caused major disruption of
the land. At the completion of the mining activity the property owner was "stuck" with
the responsibility of reclamation. Reclamation activities continued at a slow pace until
recently when activity ceased in anticipation of the proposed project.
SOIL:
The soils in the southern section are mostly Matney loam in the rolling, hilly, and eroded
phases. The broad valley consists mostly of Wehadkee loam and a small section of Tate
stony loam in the rolling stage just south of the lake. The lake area is dominated by
Chewacla loam. The northern section of the site has a mixture of Matney loam in the
rolling, hilly, and eroded phases and Ramsey stony loam in the steep and eroded steep
phases. Also located in this northern section are small pockets of Worsham loam, Tate
loam, undulating phase, and Perkinsville loam, eroded hilly phase. Wehadkee, Chewacla
and Worsham loam are contained in the Hydric Soils list for North Carolina.

VEGETATION:
The southern section of the site, in the Boone Fork Creek valley, consists of areas of open
fields, mostly upland, bordered by small islands of forested plots (mostly wetland), which
are dominated by Birch, Cherry, Maple, Hemlock and Willow. The understory in these
areas contains a variety of facultative and wetland grasses and herbs as well as blackberry
thickets in the fringe and open areas. There are numerous small pockets possessing bog
characteristics. Also located south of the lake are areas of dense Rhododendrons
interspersed with Birch, Maple and Hemlock. Open areas consist of mowed grass with
blackberry, elderberry and willow around the fringe. The northern section is mostly
forest dominated by Birch, Hemlock, Maple, and dense areas of Rhododendrons. In this.
northern section there are also small areas possessing bog characteristics. Uplands
contain many, of the same species but with the addition of Oak, Beech, and White Pine.
The understory in the upland areas is much less diverse being dominated by Laurel,
Rhododendron, and saptings of the above tree species.
HYDROLOGY:
The project site contains two major drainage systems. The northern section of the site
beyond the ridge drains northward into Cold Prong Creek (a tributary of Boone Fork
Creek). The western side of this section is generally dry containing no wetlands.
Contrastingly, the eastern side contains numerous intermittent drainages with small
perennial streams to the north. This section contains narrow (5 to 15 feet wide) riparian
fringe wetlands associated with numerous small drainages and occasional larger nodes at
points of confluence. Virtually all of these wetlands are located in dense Rhododendron
thickets.
The central and southern section of the project site drains directly into Boone Fork Creek.
This area includes wetland sites W-1 through W-17 and wetlands associated with Boone
Fork Creek. Boone Fork Creek enters the site on the western central side into an area
that is significantly impacted by previous mining and continues eastward across the
length of the property. The western and central section of this area is relatively open
fields and pockets of forests that contain many wetlands (W-1, 2,3 ),4,5,6,7 &17). This
area contains numerous ditches that actively drain the wetlands. Substantial areas within
several of the wetlands have become significantly "less wet" as a result of long term
draining from the ditches. Possiblv due to the intense alteration of the site during mining,
Boone Fork Creek has become severely incised in places and exacerbates the draining of
these wetlands. The eastern portion of this section contains wetland sites W-8 thru W-16.
These wetlands, it is speculated, are mostly remnants of a past larger system that was
likely impacted in the 1930's during initial construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway and
again during the 1960's when the existing dam and lake on Boone Fork Creek was
constructed. Most of the wetlands in this area are fed by upslope drainage and widely
dispersed flow from springs and seeps.

WETLANDS:
Wetlands on this site were delineated in the spring and summer of 2001 in accordance
with the 1987 Delineation Manual. Data sheets completed during the delineation are
included in this package. A total of 26 separate wetland areas are defined and listed in
Table 1. Total area of delineated wetlands on the site is 28.91 acres. The area of the lake
at the lower end of the site is approximately 11.0 acres. Locations of all wetland areas are
shown on the attached large map. There are four distinct groups within this list:
1. Wetland islands scattered throughout the Boone Fork Creek valley labeled as
W-i.
2. Wetlands immediately adjacent to Boone Fork Creek labeled as BF-i.
I Wetlands associated with the lake at the lower end of the site and a small pond
at the upper end. These are descriptively labeled.
4. Wetlands associated with a series of small swales, intermittent and perennial
drainages northern portion of the site and that drain to Cold Prong Creek. These
are labeled as D-(A-F).
STREAMS:
There is one named blue-line stream on the site, Boone Fork Creek. In addition there are
several other small perennial streams and intermittent streams. These are all listed on
Table 1. With the exception of Boone Fork Creek, IS-5, and portions of SP-1 and IS-6 all
small perennial and intermittent streams are located within delineated wetland
boundaries. Locations of these streams are shown on the attached large map.

This project is the property of John D. Broyhill.
Mr. Broyhill lives on the property and will be available for groups of agency and permit
personnel to visit in a timely manner during this process.
It is not our goal to destroy wetlands; but to develop a golf course and development
around 25-30 acres of wetland, stream and lake.
Tours will be provided for groups of three or more agencies at the same time. Questions
will be answered and alternatives discussed.
Thanks you. Please call 828-297-2540 for appointment.

Introduction:
This project, even though it is for a golf course and development, has endless possibilities
for stream restoration and wetland enhancement and wetland creation.
There are excellent wetlands on site. There are wetlands that are struggling from lack of
water. There are areas available for constriction of new wetlands. This will be presented
by Map Segment A-F on the 8 '/z x 11 format for Corps Permits.
All agencies are invited to visit the site and offer suggestions, alternatives and solutions.
Flexibility will be a major part of this project.

Appalachian Crest History
The following maps are a product of Donald G. Bolick Surveying and E'NV
Environmental Consulting Services, Inc. who did the wetland delineation. The impacted
areas are shown and delineated. There are seventeen (17) different wetland areas
numbered W-1 through W-17. There are two existing ponds. There is one pond that has
been drained. There are eight ponds proposed. In each case, the dam would be small, in
some cases no more that a plug in an existing drainage ditch. One (1) of these proposed
dams would impact wetland and directly benefit the golf course and development. Seven
(7) of these would directly benefit wetland and wetland hydrology.
Gravel Quarry
A large part of the bottomland on this site has been affected by farming and gravel
operations. Both of these endeavors have targeted the draining of wetlands and
disturbance of the vegetation and soils on the area. Aerial photographs are available in
the USDA NRCS office that chronicles these activities. A large pond located at the lower
end of the property also was the cause of depletion of the soils and natural drainage
patterns. Close inspection of the areas where Hole's #1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 18
are located show the impacts of these land uses. Some of the mining operation actually
created mediocre wetlands and areas with potential for improved wetlands. This is what
makes this project so interesting, exciting, and workable.

4 Items
Map A
Note: Proposed diversion of stream to create new channel, feed wetland system
W-2, W-3, W-4, W-5, W-17, create new wetland (see Map B also).
Note: Existing bridge
Note: Impact to W-5 wetland enhances remainder of W-5 wetland by feeding
more water. Stream channel is northern boundary of this wetland; the
stream has cut down approximately 18", in effect draining the wetland.
Note: One small pond exists, left over remnant of mining operations. Proposed
new impoundment would flood W-2 wetland, but would allow feeding
more water to W-3 wetland. (See Map B also.)
4 Items
Map B
Note: Access road will cross small stream, propose to impound and build small pond,
create additional wetland.
Note: Adjacent and below Green #12 area is a proposed impoundment; it is a dry pond.
This will enhance wetland. Area east and adjacent to impoundment will be new
wetland.
Note: Major element on this page is new pond development, which will elevate the
water table and improve hydrology and allow diversion of more water through
wetlands.
Note: Impact to W-2 wetland is flooding. Impact to W-4, W-5, W-6, W-7 is fill.
Overall this page negative and positive impacts negate each other.
4 Items
Map C
Note: There are three areas of fill in the fringe areas of the large lake. One on the front
end of #8 Fairway, one in the middle of #2 Fairway, one to create the green for
#7. All were under water prior to pond stand pipe being lowered.
Note: The remaining three fills are in the edge of wetland W-8, W-9, and W-10.
Note: A ditch plug has been planned for lower end of W-11 wetland to improve
hydrology.
Note: Three areas for potential new wetland development.
2 Items
Map D
Note: Impact to W-13 is a culvert and access road for the development.
Note: Small dam placed at lower end W-15 will flood just enough of this wetland to
improve the hydrology.

Approximately two acres of this fringe will be altered by placing fill and excavating in
the fringe and pool area. These areas are shown on primary frill-scale map.
Maintenance excavation will be done on the lake pool area to acquire sand and topsoil for
placement on greens and fairways. Excavation will be done 25' from the drained pool
edge. This excavation will be done by developing dug pools with no outlets.

WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT
PROJECT NAME: Broyhill Appalachian Crest
LOCATION: Watauga County, NC
GENERAL:
The location of the site is west of Blowing Rock at the intersection of NC highway 221
and Holloway Mountain Road. The site is located northeast of this intersection and south
of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The site is approximately 270 acres. Boone Fork Creek
flows west to east through the site, an existing dam at the lower end of the site creates a
lake covering approximately 11.0 acres. This lake was built in the late sixties by the
previous property owner. Elevations on the site range between 3420 and 3640 feet above
mean sea level. There are two drainage subbasins on the site. One of which is located in
the northern third of the site, Cold Prong Creek, and the other in the central and southern
portions of the site, Boone Fork Creek. The majority of the wetlands on the site are
located in the Boone Fork Creek subbasin.
HISTORY:
Appalachian Crest purchased the major portion of the land in 1972 as a partnership. Since
then the partnership has been dissolved leaving only Mr. Broyhill. In the past several
years Mr. Broyhill has purchased several additional small tracts around the perimeter of
the original tract. The site was first mined for gravel in the 1930's in conjunction with .
construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The dam on Boone Fork Creek was constructed
in the 1960's creating the lake at the lower end of the site. Burns & Spangler Company
mined the area from 1980 to 1983 for gravel in conjunction with Hwy. 321 construction
between Boone and Blowing Rock. This latest mining activity caused major disruption of
the land. At the completion of the mining activity the property owner was "stuck" with
the responsibility of reclamation. Reclamation activities continued at a slow pace until
recently when activity ceased in anticipation of the proposed project.
SOIL:
The soils in the southern section are mostly Matney loam in the rolling, hilly, and eroded
phases. The broad valley consists mostly of Wehadkee loam and a small section of Tate
stony loam in the rolling stage just south of the lake. The lake area is dominated by
Chewacla loam. The northern section of the site has a mixture of Matney loam in the
rolling, hilly, and eroded phases and Ramsey stony loam in the steep and eroded steep
phases. Also located in this northern section are small pockets of Worsham loam, Tate
loam, undulating phase, and Perkinsville loam, eroded hilly phase. Wehadkee, Chewacla
and Worsham loam are contained in the Hydric Soils list for North Carolina.
rR '4
VEGETATION:
The southern section of the site, in the Boone Fork Creek valley, consists of areas of open
fields, mostly upland, bordered by small islands of forested plots (mostly wetland), which
are dominated by Birch, Cherry, Maple, Hemlock and Willow. The understory in these
areas contains a variety of facultative and wetland grasses and herbs as well as blackberry
thickets in the fringe and open areas. There are numerous small pockets possessing bog
characteristics. Also located south of the lake are areas of dense Rhododendrons
interspersed with Birch, Maple and Hemlock. Open areas consist of mowed grass with
blackberry, elderberry and willow around the fringe. The northern section is mostly
forest dominated by Birch, Hemlock, Maple, and dense areas of Rhododendrons. In this.
northern section there are also small areas possessing bog characteristics. Uplands
contain many of the same species but with the addition of Oak, Beech, and White Pine.
The understory in the upland areas is much less diverse being dominated by Laurel,
Rhododendron, and saplings of the above tree species.
HYDROLOGY:
The project site contains two major drainage systems. The northern section of the site
beyond the ridge drains northward into Cold Prong Creek (a tributary of Boone Fork
Creek). The western side of this section is generally dry containing no wetlands.
Contrastingly, the eastern side contains numerous intermittent drainages with small
perennial streams to the north. This section contains narrow (5 to 15 feet wide) riparian
fringe wetlands associated with numerous small drainages and occasional larger nodes at
points of confluence. Virtually all of these wetlands are located in dense Rhododendron
thickets.
The central and southern section of the project site drains directly into Boone Fork Creek.
This area includes wetland sites W-1 through W-17 and wetlands associated with Boone
Fork Creek. Boone Fork Creek enters the site on the western central side into an area
that is significantly impacted by previous mining and continues eastward across the
length of the property. The western and central section of this area is relatively open
fields and pockets of forests that contain many wetlands (W-1, 2,3,4,5,6,7 &17). This
area contains numerous ditches that actively drain the wetlands. Substantial areas within
several of the wetlands have become significantly "less wet" as a result of long term
draining from the ditches. Possibly due to the intense alteration of the site during mining,
Boone Fork Creek has become severely incised in places and exacerbates the draining of
these wetlands. The eastern portion of this section contains wetland sites W-8 thru W-16.
These wetlands, it is speculated, are mostly remnants of a past larger system that was
likely impacted in the 1930's during initial construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway and
again during the 1960's when the existing dam and lake on Boone Fork Creek was
constructed. Most of the wetlands in this area are fed by upslope drainage and widely
dispersed flow from springs and seeps.
14
WETLANDS:
Wetlands on this site were delineated in the spring and summer of 2001 in accordance
with the 1987 Delineation Manual. Data sheets completed during the delineation are
included in this package. A total of 26 separate wetland areas are defined and listed in
Table 1. Total area of delineated wetlands on the site is 28.91 acres. The area of the lake
at the lower end of the site is approximately 11.0 acres. Locations of all wetland areas are
shown on the attached large map. There are four distinct groups within this list:
1. Wetland islands scattered throughout the Boone Fork Creek valley labeled as
W-i.
2. Wetlands immediately adjacent to Boone Fork Creek labeled as BF-i.
3. Wetlands associated with the lake at the lower end of the site and a small pond
at the upper end. These are descriptively labeled.
4. Wetlands associated with a series of small swales, intermittent and perennial
drainages northern portion of the site and that drain to Cold Prong Creek. These
are labeled as D-(A-F).
STREAMS:
There is one named blue-line stream on the site, Boone Fork Creek. In addition there are
several other small perennial streams and intermittent streams. These are all listed on
Table 1. With the exception of Boone Fork Creek, IS-5, and portions of SP-1 and IS-6 all
small perennial and intermittent streams are located within delineated wetland
boundaries. Locations of these streams are shown on the attached large map.

This map unit consists of areas where the natural soils
have been altered by digging, grading, or filling, to
the extent that individual soil types can no longer be
recognized. These areas consists primarily of borrow
areas, fill areas, or sanitary landfills. The
characteristics of the soil material varies such that
interpretive statements can not be made without an
on-site investigation.

This project is the property of John D. Broyhill.
Mr. Broyhill lives on the property and will be available for groups of agency and permit
personnel to visit in a timely manner during this process.
It is not our goal to destroy wetlands; but to develop a golf course and development
around 25-30 acres of wetland, stream and lake.
Tours will be provided for groups of three or more agencies at the same time. Questions
will be answered and alternatives discussed.
Thanks you. Please call 828-297-2540 for appointment.
