RE: Alcoa Power Generating Inc Response To The Stoney Point Harbor
Environmental Assessment
Gary,
Alcoa Power Generating Inc. (APGI), through its Yadkin Division (Yadkin), has
completed its review of the Environmental Assessment (EA) and supplemental
documents as prepared and submitted by KEJ Marketing Co., Inc. (KEJ), for Lots 1-
62 of the Stoney Point Harbor subdivision located along the Flat Swamp Creek
embayment of High Rock Reservoir. Yadkin has also completed its review with
regard to KEJ's proposed multi-use facility - construction of a boat launch ramp at
Lot 62. Yadkin has reviewed the EA from the perspective of examining potential
impacts resulting from the proposed subdivision on the reservoir and Yadkin-
Managed Buffer that lies between the reservoir and the subdivision.
Yadkin would remind KEJ that High Rock Reservoir is operated as part of the FERC
licensed Yadkin Project. High Rock functions as a storage reservoir and serves as
the principal storage/regulation facility for the entire Yadkin/Pee Dee system
including Yadkin's Tuckertown, Narrows, and Falls hydroelectric power plants as
well as Carolina Power & Light's Tillery and Blewett Falls hydroelectric power
plants. The operation of the generation facilities at High Rock, and consequently
the releases of water through the turbines, depends principally on the supply of
water (inflow to High Rock), current water surface elevation, and time of year.
Because High Rock Reservoir is a storage reservoir, there are seasonal fluctuations
in reservoir water levels. Also, because of downstream flow requirements,
extensive drawdowns can occur during extreme drought conditions.
Yadkin manages the FERC licensed Yadkin Project in an environmentally
responsible manner, generally consistent with the recommendations of state and
federal resource agencies. Accordingly, Yadkin has reviewed the EA along with
agency comments from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Divisions of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) and Parks and Recreation (NCDPR), the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC), the NC Department of Cultural Resources (NCDCR), and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Yadkin believes KEJ has responded
adequately to the majority of the agencies' comments and, subject to completion of
the requirements noted below, Yadkin will consider the EA complete. Yadkin will
not issue any permits for private piers or multi-use facilities before total completion
of the EA.
The following is a summary of Yadkin's specific comments on the Stoney Point
Harbor EA.
Clarification of Yadkin-Managed Buffer & No Waterfront Lots
The Stoney Point Harbor EA incorrectly notes that Alcoa owns and Yadkin manages
a shoreline buffer of 10 vertical feet along the shoreline area proposed for
development. APGI owns, and Yadkin manages, a 5 vertical foot buffer along the
shoreline (Yadkin-Managed Buffer).
The Stoney Point Harbor EA also makes reference to "waterfront lots". As noted
above, APGI owns, and Yadkin manages, a 5 vertical foot buffer along the
shoreline. Thus, no lots in the Stoney Point Harbor development are "waterfront"
lots. KEJ must communicate this information to existing lot owners and prospective
buyers in writing and must provide Yadkin with evidence of this communication.
Yadkin's Shoreline Stewardship Policy
Yadkin's Shoreline Stewardship Policy (Stewardship Policy, July 1999, copy
enclosed) summarizes Yadkin's policies, procedures, and requirements regarding
use of the Project lands and waters and the Yadkin-Managed Buffer by owners of
property adjoining the Project boundary or the Yadkin-Managed Buffer and others.
The Stewardship Policy addresses issues including,,but not limited to: building
setbacks, construction (such as access pathways, structures, etc.), shoreline
stabilization (erosion control measures), shoreline alteration (excavation, dredge
and fill), vegetation removal, shoreline clean-up, aquatic vegetation (e.g. water
willow, buttonbush), private irrigation systems, and vegetative plantings. KEJ must
provide a copy of the Stewardship Policy to existing lot owners and prospective
buyers. KEJ must also inform existing lot owners and prospective buyers that
failure to comply with Yadkin's Stewardship Policy and unauthorized activities in the
Reservoir or the Yadkin-Managed Buffer may result in loss of eligibility for private
Reservoir access. KEJ must communicate this information to existing lot owners
and prospective buyers in writing and must provide Yadkin with evidence of this
communication.
Shoreline Vegetation Management
By letter dated September 20, 1999, NCWRC concurs that the following will help
mitigate direct impacts to fish and wildlife habitat from the Stoney Point Harbor
Development.
1. Trees that must be removed will be replaced at 2:1 ratio. Efforts should be
made to place paths and piers to avoid the need to remove shoreline or in-water
trees. In accordance with Yadkin's Stewardship Policy and considering this
recommendation, Yadkin will require 2:1 replacement of trees, including lap
trees, which must be removed for construction of private piers or multi-use
facilities.
2. KEJ must place 100 trees in-water along the shoreline of Stoney Point. The
placement of these trees must be performed in consultation with NCWRC.
Yadkin has received notification from NCWRC that this mitigation step has been
completed.
Significant Natural Heritage Areas (SN?IAs)
NCDPR indicates that a portion of the Stoney Point Harbor subdivision is in a SNHA
and has requested that Yadkin work with KEJ to implement the provisions of the
SMP. Specifically, NCDPR would like to see a 100-foot buffer of natural trees and
shrubs be permanently protected along the lakeshore, making allowances only for
limited clearing to maintain access to the lake. As previously noted, Yadkin will
require that all activities in the Yadkin-Managed Buffer be performed in accordance
with its Stewardship Policy. NCDPR also requests that no waterfront construction
be allowed within the Yadkin-designated Conservation Zone at the east-end of the
Stoney Point Harbor subdivision.
The Stoney Point Harbor subdivision pre-dates implementation of certain
requirements of Yadkin's Shoreline Management Plan. In addition, Yadkin made it
clear to agencies, developers, and the public that it would not implement those
requirements retroactively. None-the-less, Yadkin notes the designated
Conservation Zone at the east end of the project area (approximately Lots 1 through
18) was so classified for two reasons, a shrub/scrub wetland at the head of the cove
and a sensitive area/habitat. Yadkin's Specifications For Private Recreation
Facilities At High Rock And Narrows Reservoirs (Specifications, July 1999, copy
enclosed) and its Stewardship Policy state Yadkin's requirements for construction of
reservoir access facilities near aquatic vegetation. Yadkin will follow these
requirements. KEJ must communicate this information to existing lot owners and
prospective buyers in writing and must provide Yadkin with evidence of this
communication.
In addition, the basis for the sensitive area/habitat is a tract of mature hardwood
forest. As background, Davidson County has adopted a watershed protection
ordinance that requires a minimum vegetative buffer width of 50 feet along the
banks of all perennial streams or other waters for low density development. Also,
Yadkin's Stewardship Policy indicates that for adjoining property owners (in new
subdivisions as well as in subdivisions platted and recorded prior to July 1, 1999,
such as Stoney Point Harbor) who satisfy the requirements described in Section III
(100-foot Forested Setback Requirement) of the Policy on their property, vegetation
removal from the Yadkin-Managed Buffer will generally be considered, by written
permit, in accordance with the criteria listed under Section III.A.5. Supporting this
element of Yadkin's Stewardship Policy, KEJ has adopted a general policy for its
Stoney Point Harbor architectural review process, which, in conjunction with
requirements under the Stoney Point Harbor restrictive covenants, promotes greater
building setbacks than required by Davidson County and allows limited vegetation
removal within the setback for lots adjoining the Yadkin-Managed Buffer. Yadkin
requests KEJ to provide that general policy to Yadkin, in writing, especially noting
that Lots 1-18 will receive particular attention during the review process. In addition,
KEJ must communicate this policy to existing lot owners and prospective buyers in
writing and must provide Yadkin with evidence of this communication, especially
noting that Lots 1-18 will receive particular attention during the review process.
Yadkin believes that these steps, in conjunction with NCWRC's mitigation measures
for the proposed subdivision provide adequate protection of the resources in the
area. .F
Cultural Resources
In accordance with Yadkin's letter to KEJ dated February 4, 1999, KEJ has provided
Yadkin with a copy of the final cultural resources survey report as well as
correspondence from NCDCR indicating that NCDCR has no comment. KEJ has
also provided documentation indicating that there are no cultural sites located
wholly or partly within the Yadkin-managed buffer or within the project boundary
(655-foot contour, Yadkin datum). (NCDCR letter dated November 1, 1999;
NCDNR Nationwide Permit Review dated November 19, 1999 and Environmental
Services, Inc. letter dated November 29, 1999). KEJ has satisfied concerns with
regard to cultural resources in reference to Yadkin's subdivision access approval
process.
Private Pier Development
KEJ has proposed that the Stoney Point Harbor development will include 27 private,
individual piers and 11 shared piers. Yadkin would remind KEJ that per Yadkin's
Specifications, in order to qualify for a private pier permit, certain minimum
conditions must be met. First, lots proposed for private, individual piers must have
a minimum shoreline lot width of 200 feet as measured by extending the adjoining
property owner's side lot lines to the normal full-pool elevation of the reservoir (on
High Rock Reservoir, 655-foot contour, Yadkin datum) and lots proposed for
private, shared piers must have a minimum shoreline lot width of 100 feet each.
Second, Yadkin requires that each lot have access to a minimum water depth of 8
feet within 75 feet of the shoreline as measured from the normal full pool elevation.
Additionally, piers cannot be located in coves less than 100 feet in width at normal
full-pool elevation.
Yadkin staff has utilized plat maps and bathymetry to develop its own assessment
of lot widths, water depths, and cove widths for the Stoney Point Harbor
development lots 1-62. The attached table provides a summary of Yadkin's
determinations (measured as noted above).
Based on the information provided in the attached table, it is Yadkin's assessment
that the following lots have sufficient water depth to meet Yadkin's minimum water
depth requirement and the lots have a width of 200' or greater: #5-10; #12; #15;
#32-34; #37-44; #55; and #61. Lots which have sufficient water depth and a lot
width of at least 100' include: #1-4; #13-14; #16-31. Cove widths of 100' or more
are available for the lots listed in this paragraph.
Lot 11 has insufficient lot width and insufficient water depth to qualify for a private
individual pier.
This information on lot width, water depth, and cove width does not constitute final
approval, pre-approval or conditional approval of any private individual or shared
pier, or multi-use facilities, or activities to occur on the Yadkin-Managed Buffer
adjacent to the lots indicated, but is provided to you as Yadkin's assessment of
these minimum requirements. .i
Multi-Use Facility Development
KEJ proposes to construct a single boat launch ramp on Lot 62. USFWS, NCWRC
and NCDCR have stated that they have no further comments regarding KEJ's
proposal. Yadkin notes that KEJ has received an Approval of 401 Water Quality
Certification from NCDWQ for the proposed multi-use facilities, along with General
Permit Verification from the USACE. KEJ will need to notify USACE upon
completion of the activity authorized in its permit.
Issues Regarding Impact on Recreational Boatinq Use on the Reservoir and the
Need for the Boat Launch Ramp
By letter dated February 4, 1999, Yadkin requested KEJ to provide an assessment
of the combined effect of full build-out of the Crystal Bay, Emerald Bay, Springs and
Stoney Point Harbor subdivisions; an estimate of the recreational boating carrying
capacity within the Flat Swamp Creek arm of High Rock Reservoir; an assessment
of the effect of full build-out of Stoney Point Harbor and the Springs on recreational
boating use of Flat Swamp Creek; and further justification for the need for the
community boat launch proposed for Lot 62. Yadkin has previously indicated to
KEJ that it has withdrawn these requests and that these assessments are not
needed for Yadkin to complete its review of the Stoney Point Harbor EA.
Summary
To summarize, before Yadkin can consider the EA complete, it will need the
following information from KEJ.
1. KEJ must provide Yadkin with substantial evidence of its efforts to inform
existing lot owners and prospective buyers in writing about the following: (i) no
lots within the Stoney Point Harbor development are "waterfront" lots because
APGI owns, and Yadkin manages, a buffer of 5 vertical feet along the reservoir
(Yadkin-Managed Buffer); (ii) KEJ has provided a copy of the Stewardship Policy
and Specifications to existing lot owners and prospective buyers and
communicated that failure to comply with Yadkin's Stewardship Policy and
Specifications may result in loss of eligibility for private Reservoir access for lots
otherwise eligible; (iii) that trees or tree-laps that are approved by Yadkin to be
removed for private pier installation will have to mitigated at a 2:1 ratio; and (iv)
that piers located in areas of aquatic vegetation will have to be designed to span
the vegetation and will require the lot owner to sign an Aquatic Vegetation
Agreement.
2. KEJ must provide its general policy for its architectural review process for
Stoney Point Harbor that maximizes building setbacks and minimizes vegetation
removal within the setback for lots adjoining the Yadkin-Managed Buffer. Yadkin
requests KEJ especially note that Lots 1-18 will receive particular attention
during the architectural review process. In addition, KEJ must communicate this
policy to existing lot owners and prospective buyers in writing and must provide
Yadkin with evidence of this communication, especially noting that Lots 1-18 will
receive particular attention during the review process.
Once KEJ has provided Yadkin with the above requested information, Yadkin will
consider the EA for Stoney Point Harbor subdivision (Lots 1-62) complete.
Completion of the EA clears the way for Yadkin to begin processing private pier
permits and activity applications for any homeowner with a house under roof and for
KEJ to obtain from Yadkin a construction permit authorizing the construction of the
proposed multi-use facility.
This letter in no way constitutes pre-approval or conditional approval of any private
individual or shared pier, or multi-use facilities, or activities to occur on the Yadkin-
Managed Buffer, along the shoreline, or in the reservoirs (including installation of
private individual or shared piers, or multi-use facilities, shoreline stabilization
measures, pathways, or vegetation clearing). Permission to install pathways,
construct piers, clear vegetation or install shoreline stabilization facilities will be
considered on a case-by-case basis with individual property owners and will be
granted in accordance with Yadkin's policies and practices existing at that time.

Re: Response to a Request for Additional Information Concerning 98-004
The Springs at High Rock: DWQ Project # 00 084 and
Stoney Point Harbor: DWQ Project # 00 094
Dear Mr. Coble:
Please find attached a copy of a letter from you to Ms. Sandra Steed of KEJ Marketing/Waterfront
Properties dated February 28, 2000. This correspondence is submitted as part of an effort to respond
to you within three weeks of the date of the aforementioned letter. Please know that KEJ
Marketing/Waterfront Properties is interested in pursuing this project and does not wish to have the
project withdrawn.
The N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has enumerated five points in the request for further
information. Responses to the information requests are included below.
(1) Supporting Information for Stream Crossings. A healthy economy, growing population
along the nearby I-85 corridor, increased disposable income, and an apparently popular
desire and ability to purchase a second home or retirement home near a body of water and
outside of the urban environment of a city are primary factors resulting in the development
of the subject property.
The Springs development property is a linear strip of land adjacent to the Yadkin, Inc. buffer
along south shore of the Flat Swamp Creek arm of High Rock Lake (see attached Figure 1).
The main body of the development property is approximately 2.6 miles long and ranges from
550 to 700 feet in depth from the Yadkin buffer. An entrance road extends another 0.9 mile
from NC Highway 8 to the main body of the development. The entrance road and
development are crossed by 11 intermittent streams that flow down the north face of High
Rock Mountain into High Rock Lake. Roadway access to the length of the development
cannot be established without crossing these streams. The access roadway has been
constructed on a fairly steep slope, so linear impacts to streams are necessarily longer than
if the road was constructed on a level grade. With consideration to the stream reconstruction
work that is currently underway, linear impacts resulting from stream crossings have been
minimized to the greatest extent practicable.

(2) Sediment Basins in Stream Channels. EcoScience Corporation has contacted Ms. Jennifer
Frye and discussed methods for restoration of stream channels. Subsequently, a plan has
been devised to remove sediment basins established in stream channels. Stream channels
will then be restored as close as practicable to pre-construction conditions. Stream banks
will be seeded with grass to provide for stabilization and supplemental plantings of wetland
and mesic herbs and shrubs. Since the region is currently experiencing low-flow conditions,
basin removal and stream restoration work is being carried out now. Following
reconstruction, the linear footage of impacts at crossings will be determined and forwarded
to DWQ.
(3) Length of Stream Impact Discrepancies. The stream boundaries were delineated and
surveyed at The Springs in 1997. Since that time, further fill impacts (sediment pond
construction and boulder placement) have occurred in some stream crossings that were not
recorded on the jurisdictional delineation plat. Sediment ponds and boulders are currently
being removed from several streams. Stream banks will then be stabilized initially through
grass seeding, with supplemental plantings of wetland and mesic herbs and shrubs. The
linear footage of impact resulting from each crossing will be determined and forwarded to
DWQ. It is the intention of the developer to impact less than 150 linear feet of stream at
each crossing.
(4) Missing Road Crossing. One delineated jurisdictional stream and a road crossing of the
stream were inadvertently not included on the jurisdictional delineation of The Springs
development. The delineation plat will be revised to include this crossing. Length of impact
will be determined and forwarded to DWQ.
(5) The only planned future impacts to jurisdictional areas at The Springs include the
construction of three group piers on the shoreline of High Rock Lake. On December 17,
1999, DWQ issued an approval of 401 Water Quality Certification (DWQ# 99-1030) to
allow coverage of fill resulting from construction of these piers under Nationwide Permit
Number 18.
The only planned future impacts to jurisdictional areas at Stoney Point Harbor include the
construction of a residential pier and boat ramp on the shoreline of High Rock Lake. On
October 24, 1999, DWQ issued an approval of 401 Water Quality Certification (DWQ #
991049) to allow coverage of fill resulting from construction of these piers under General
Permit Number 198200030.

Dear Ms Steed:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill
material into surface waters in Davidson County for the purpose of residential
development. 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.
(1) 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. Documentation such as maps, narratives,
economic analyses, that you can supply to address alternative designs for your project
may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification request.
(2) Site visits to both The Springs at High Rock and Stoney Point Harbor on February 22,
2000 confirmed that the impacts have already occurred. At several of the road
crossings, small sediment basins have been installed within the channel. If these are
to be permanent structures for stormwater management, please submit plans,
specifications, and linear footage of impact for DWQ approval. If these basins are to
be removed, please forward your plans to restore the channels to pre-construction
conditions. It is strongly recommended that any reconstruction occur during low flow
conditions and bio-engineering is utilized for bank stabilization. If rock armoring is
MAR ' / 2000 installed, this length will count toward your total linear footage of impact.

exceeded the linear footage for which you applied. Length of stream impact includes
any hard armoring (rip-rap) used for bank stabilization above and below the culverts.
Please submit the exact length of impact for each road crossing. Keep in mind if the
length of impact for any one of these channels exceeds 150 linear feet, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h). If you wish to
remove any excess rip-rap and decrease the length of impact, please submit your
plans for restoration of these channels. As stated above, restoration activities should
occur at such times and in a manner as to minimize excessive sediment loading to the
channels.

Dcar.lohn:
Please find attached to this letter seven (7) copies of a Department of the Army Nationwide Pcnnit
notification packet (NWP #26) and cover letter addressed to Mr. John Thomas of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Raleigh field office. The purpose of this letter is to request Section 401
concurrence for this nationwide permit. Impacts to jurisdictional areas have occurred through the
installation of culverts and fill at five access road crossings. Three crossings impact intermittent
streams and two impact headwater wetlands. The stream crossings impact 60, 140, and 65 linear
feet, respectively, and a total area of 0.04 acre. The headwater wetlands crossings impact a total of
0.08 acre of vegetated wetlands. These crossings were constructed in the spring of 1998.
It is assumed that the proposed action will be considered by the N.C. Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) to require a "Major Water Quality Certification", and as such requires a fee payment of
$475.00. Please find attached to this letter a check made payable to the N.C. Division of Water
Quality in the amount of $475.00.
The property is under development by a Charlotte-based company called KEJ Marketing, Inc. My
contact with KEJ Marketing is Ms. Sandra R. Steed, who works for a subsidiary of KEJ Marketing

Re: Section 404 Permitting for Impacts Associated with the Stoney Point Harbor
Development Adjacent to High Rock Lake, Davidson County, NC
Dear John:
rax J 828-3518
98-004
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention Section 404 jurisdictional area impacts associated with
a residential development referred to as Stoney Point Harbor on High Rock Lake in Davidson County, NC.
You and I and Jerry McCrain of my office visited the site on October 15, 1997. Impacts to jurisdictional
areas have occurred through the installation of culverts and fill at five access road crossings. Three crossings
impact intermittent streams and two impact headwater wetlands. The stream crossings impact 60, 140, and
65 linear feet, respectively, and a total area of 0.04 acre. The headwater wetlands crossings impact a total
of 0.08 acre of vegetated wetlands. These crossings were constructed in the spring of 1998.
It is my understanding that, due to the type and amount of jurisdictional areas involved, these impacts are
eligible for permitting under Nationwide Permit #26. And since the project is causing the loss of less than
0.33 acre of jurisdictional areas, and no single and complete stream crossing impacts 150 or more linear feet
of jurisdictional stream, no formal notification to the Corps of Engineers (COE) is necessary. This
information is being provided as a courtesy to keep the COE informed as to the status of jurisdictional areas
in regards to this project.
Please find the following items attached to this letter:
• A completed copy of a COE Pre-Construction Notification;
• Figure 1, of the project area vicinity;
• Sheets 1 of 7 through 7 of 7, combination lot configuration and jurisdictional area locations and
approved survey of jurisdictional area delineation;
• Figure 2, typical cross section of an impacted jurisdictional stream crossing; and
Table 1, impacts at jurisdictional crossings.
Stoney Point Harbor is a 159-acre, planned residential community on the north shore of the Flat Swamp
Creek arm of High Rock Lake (Figure 1). The main body of the development is connected to NC Highway
8 by an approximately 2.5-mile entrance road.
Section 404 jurisdictional areas in and adjacent to the development area are lcustrine and palustrine in
nature, as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979) and displayed on the NW I map of the Grist Mountain and High
Rock USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles. The Flat Swamp Creek arm of High Rock Lake is a lcustrine, limnetic
system. Palustrine areas include vegetated wetlands and unvegetated, unnamed tributaries to the Flat Swamp
EcoScience Corporation
Mr. John Thomas '

Creek arm and High Rock Lake. Two forested, palustrine systems occur within the main body of the
development, east of the entrance road (Stoney Point Drive) in an area not currently planned for development
(Sheets 6 of 7 and 7 of 7). Both of these systems are depressional wetlands whose source of water is
precipitation runoff from adjacent slopes.
The entrance road corridor is a narrow strip of land, approximately 2.5 miles in length (Sheet 1 of 7),
purchased from adjacent landowners for access to the main body of the development. There are five, small
palustrine systems associated with the entrance road corridor (Sheets 2 of 7 through 5 of 7). Three of these
systems are narrow, intermittent drains, or linear waters of the United States (waters of the U.S.) that vary
from 2 feet to 15 feet in width. The northernmost drainage is fed by a man-made pond while the other two
are fed by precipitation runoff. The entrance road has been designed to cross these linear drains at as near
to perpendicular angles as possible. A typical cross section of an impacted stream crossing is provided in
Figure 2. Two of the systems within the entrance road corridor are small, spring-fed vegetated wetlands that
eventually drain into linear tributaries. The northern wetland supports a mixture of emergent and forest
vegetation. Impacts to this wetland have been minimized (0.01 acre) and impacts to the associated stream
have been avoided by shifting the entrance road to the east. The southern wetland is one of a series of
wetlands that occur on a timbered slope. This wetland was disturbed by machinery during recent logging
operation and presently supports emergent vegetation in tire ruts. Impacts to this wetland have been
minimized (0.07 acre) by shifting the entrance road to the west.
Jurisdictional areas were delineated in the field in September 1997. The delineation was verbally verified
by you following a field visit on 15 October 1997, and the delineation survey plat was signed on June 11,
1998.
For the purposes of my client's record-keeping, I am interested in obtaining from you written verification that
jurisdictional impacts resulting from this project are covered under Nationwide Permit #26. Please let me
know if you have questions or need further information. Thank you for your assistance on this project.
Yours truly,

Block 10.
Three unnamed tributaries to High Rock Lake and two small areas of vegetated wetlands will
be impacted by the proposed action: construction of a residential access road, Stoney Point
Drive (See attached Sheets 1 of 7 through 7 of 7). The tributaries are characterized by
intermittent flow, and the vegetated wetlands support a secondary growth shrub assemblage.
Impacts are quantified in Table 1. The crossing on Sheet 2 of 7 will impact approximately 60
linear feet (ft) of a 3.5 ft wide intermittent stream (approximately 0.008 acre). The crossing
on Sheet 3 of 7 will impact approximately 0.01 acre of vegetated wetland. The crossing on
Sheet 4 of 7 will impact approximately 140 linear ft of a 3 ft wide intermittent stream
(approximately 0.013 acre). The crossings on Sheet 5 of 7 will impact approximately 65 linear
ft of a 15 ft wide intermittent stream (approximately 0.022 acre) and approximately 0.07 acre
of vegetated wetland. Two vegetated wetlands located within the main body of the
development will be avoided by proposed activities. The area of fill has been limited to the
minimum necessary for the actual crossings.
Block 10b.
The three stream crossings are all impact intermittent tributaries to High Rock Lake. The
crossings all occur within a narrow (approximately 60 feet wide) access corridor that extends
for approximately 2.5 miles from NC 8 to the body of the development. No streams occur
within the main body of the development.
Block 12.
The proposed work in surface waters involves the construction of a culverted crossing at each
of three unnamed tributaries to High Rock Lake using 24-inch reinforced concrete pipes. The
area around the pipes will be backfilled with soils from adjacent uplands, and the pipes will
have a minimum of 4 ft of cover. Two, small vegetated wetlands will be backfilled with soils
from adjacent uplands. The road surface will consist of two 10-ft, asphalt, travel lanes and
an 8-ft grassed shoulder on each side. Final fill slopes have been stabilized by a maintained
grass cover. The crossings have been designed to prevent the restriction of , and to
withstand, expected high flows, and to prevent the restriction of low flows and the movement
of aquatic organisms. The crossings conform to guidelines outlined in the North Carolina
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. Appropriate sediment and erosion control
practices will be implemented during construction. After construction, all sediment and erosion
control practices placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and the natural grade restored.
Block 13.
The proposed crossings will support a road (Stoney Point Drive) providing direct access to 62
lots within the Stoney Point Harbor development area.
Block 14.
Property owners will have to cross these two tributaries to reach their lots. The locations of
the stream crossings have been planned to avoid and minimize impacts to waters of the U.S.
The crossings have been located to minimize impacts to nearby vegetated wetlands and
designed perpendicular to the orientation of the tributaries where practicable. Fill slopes will
be stabilized with vegetation immediately upon completion and out-of-stream sediment basins
will be employed to protect downstream water quality.
