RE: Nationwide #12 application
Tri-Brunswick tract
St. James Plantation
Dear Allen:
.VW& 74
3805 Vi04vi& . umum
'(dtml V", .M M403
Please find enclosed an application to install utilities within a wetland crossing on the
Tri-Brunswick tract. Utilities would be installed within a planned road right-of-way
which contains the only wetland crossing on the 117-acre tract. The location of this road
crossing has been placed at the narrowest section of the wetland, and installation of
utilities within the right-of-way minimizes wetland disturbance to a single location. Two
trenches, 2'-wide each, would be placed 46' apart on opposite sides of the right-of-way.
This would result in approximately 430ft2 of temporary wetland disturbance. Following
installation of the utility lines, the wetland area will be returned to original grades.
A courtesy copy of this application is being provided to the NC Division of Water
Quality. Permanent wetland impacts within this road right-of-way have already been
permitted under a 401 Water Quality Certification, DWQ # 000041. However, fill for the
road itself has not been installed since Corps approval for that activity has not been
obtained.
The need to install utilities at this time, prior to Corps approval for actual road fill, has
resulted from the timing of utility installation. As upland portions of the property are
being developed, utility lines are installed in loops. There is a need to complete the loop
containing this wetland crossing at the time utility crews are on-site.
Attached with the application is a "Project History/Future Plans Supplement" which
further describes these issues. If you have any questions and would like to discuss the
information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Laura Stasavich

Project History / Future Plans Supplement
NW 12 Application
Tri-Brunswick tract, St. James Plantation
Southport, NC
Project History:
The utility installation is requested within the right-of-way of a planned road. There is no
wetland fill in the right-of-way at this time. Installation of actual road fill was requested
in 1/2000 under a joint Nationwide 14/401 Certification request. At that time, mitigation
was proposed since cumulative wetland impacts for the overall St. James Plantation
exceeded State and Federal thresholds. Although a 401 Certification was issued (DWQ #
000041), the Corps decided the road could not be issued under a Nationwide Permit and
that an Individual Permit would be required. In spite of this change, the mitigation plan
was implemented "up-front" (without an approved Corps permit) since construction in
the area surrounding the mitigation site was already scheduled and underway.
The utility installation requested in this application is not a permanent impact, and
therefore remains eligible for a Nationwide 12 permit without a requirement for
mitigation. However, it is noted that mitigation for the entire road right-of-way (in which
the utilities will be placed) has already been mitigated for at a 2:1 ratio.
Future Plans:
An individual permit will be submitted in the near future and will request wetland fill for
the road crossing shown in this application, and all remaining road crossings on the 2400-
acre and Paladin tracts. The 2400-acre and Paladin tracts are currently being delineated
and surveyed so that all remaining wetland impacts within St. James Plantation may be
submitted in a single application. However, the utility installation requested in this
application has been separated due to timing issues. Utilities are being installed on the
remainder of the Tri-Brunswick tract, with the exception of this one crossing, in ACOE-
approved upland areas. Since the utility installation is scheduled with the County and is
installed in loops, more immediate authorization was needed for this activity. All
permanent impacts at the crossing will be addressed in the future Individual Permit
application.

Utilities are being installed in "loops" and within the road right-of-ways. All roads have been
planned so as to avoid wetland crossings to the greatest extent practicable. A single road
crossing is needed on this 117-acre tract, and is the crossing shown in this application. The
crossing was placed at the narrowest section of the wetland to minimize impacts. In addition, the
installation of utilities within the road right-of-way minimizes all wetland impacts to a single and
distinct location. Following utility installation, original wetland contours would be returned to
original grades.
VII. 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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide,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.

Installation of the actual road fill was requested in 1/2000 under a joint Nationwide 14/401
Certification request. At that time, mitigation was proposed since cumulative wetland
impacts for the overall St. James Plantation exceeded State and Federal thresholds. Although
a 401 Certification was issued (DWQ # 000041), the Corps decided the road could not be
issued under a Nationwide Permit and that an Individual Permit would be required. In spite
of this change, the mitigation plan was implemented and installed "up-front" without an
approved Corps permit) since construction within the mitigation area was already scheduled
and underway.
The utility installation requested in this application is not a permanent impact, and therefore
remains eligible for a Nationwide 12 permit and does not require mitigation. However, it is
noted that mitigation for the entire road right-of-way (in which the utilities will be placed)
has been mitigated for up-front at a 2:1 ratio.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at haplih2o.enr.state.nc.usAvrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Tri-Brunswick, LLC
Post Office Box 10879
Southport. North Carolina 28461
Dear Sir or Madam:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 0.11 acres
of wetlands and 0.93 acres of ditches for the purpose of constructing a residential development at a part of St. James Plantation as
described in your application dated January 6, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when the
Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Water shed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified below. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new
owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described
in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and streams 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. Compensatory wetland mitigation is required for the 0.11 acre of wetland impact. Applicant shall provide a written
mitigation plan to DWQ for written approval within one month of the date of this Certification.
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.

This office feels that mitigation i? raauir 1 for tha0.11 arse of wetland for the road crossing due to
past impacts w/in St James Sin The 0.93 AC wetland impact due to ditch filling may or may not
require mitigation Most of the ditches cut throughhiplands and only connect to wetlands. This office
feels additional input from Central office and others is required to consider if mitigation is or is not
;.uire? for this portion

I have contacted Steve Morrison of Land Management about the mitigation for this project.
Basically, Land Management may propose something else soon, and I was told to forget about
the mitigation plan. I said okay, and would wait (not too long) to hear from them. If I do not hear
from them soon (within 10 days or so), I will call them and see exactly what they intend to
propose. (I have the project file in my office.) --Steve Steven Kroeger

Dear John,

As required within the approved 401 Water Quality Certification issued 2/14/00, we are
describing the mitigation for the 0.11 acre of wetland impact for the proposed road crossing. On-
site wetland creation adjacent to the same impacted wetland system totaling .25 acres is to take
place within two areas within 240' of the road crossing. These are shown as wetland areas A and
B on the enclosed wetland mitigation drawing.
Wetland area A is located to the east of the road crossing near the tee area for golf course hole
#8. This 7,000 square foot area will be graded down to form an emergent wetland shelf with <<<' ,'
water depths to 6". Emergent wetland species from pond edges within the nearby developed
subdivisions and selected commercially available aquatic specimens will be planted in this area.
Desired species include himhristylis sI)cidicea, Pellandra virginica, Potygonum hydrol)il)eroides,
Ponlederia cordala, Saururu,v cernuus, Nymphaea odorala, Ycirl)us rohuslus and Typha
auguslifolia. Additionally in this area, four 6' to 8', container grown nixodium distichum trees
will also be planted within the central portions of the mitigation area. This emergent wetland area
will adjoin a deeper pond to the east. The combined system is designed to compliment the existing
wetland and provide a diverse array of shelter and food sources for waterfowl, amphibians and
reptiles. Any overflow of water from large rainfall events will be directed toward the existing
wetland to the west through sheet flow over a level gradient.
Wetland area B is located to the southwest of the road crossing and also adjacent to the existing
wetland. A 4,000 square foot area is to be graded down to produce elevations which range from
featuring soil saturation within the upper 12" for more than 5% of the early growing season to a
potential 6" maximum inundation after root mat addition and planting. The adjacent existing
wetland will serve as the reference for the establishment of proper elevation. Root mat and
associated upper hydric soil material will be removed from the road crossing area and spread
within the mitigation area. The root mat will contain living root and stems of the native wetland

C
flora which include I,yonia hicida, Cyrilla racemiflora, Ilex glabra, Persea borbonia, Magnolia
virginiana and Smilax lauri folia.
Please review this information and the attached mitigation plan drawing. I will be happy to answer
and questions you may have at your convenience. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Steve Morrison
Environmental Consultant

Dear Mr. Dorney:

RECEIVED

Enclosed is a NWP 14/26 application by Tri-Brunswick, LLC for 1.04 acres of fill for the Tri-Brunswick at
St. James Plantation tract, Southport area, Brunswick County, NC. The 0.11 acre road crossing is being
requested in order to access additional lots/uplands within the project. The crossing has been located as
to cross the wetlands at its narrowest point to minimize wetlands impact. The original ditches determined
to be Waters of the US by the US Army Corps of Engineers are also being requested to be filled. The
total linear footage of the ditches is 10704 feet with an average width of 3.8 feet totaling 0.93 acre. In
order to further minimize wetlands impact the original lots which impacted jurisdictional wetlands have
been eliminated from this project. Also, approximately 5.3 acres of uplands ponds are also being
proposed for this tract.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Piner
Environmental Scientist
