'Unless there are objections, it is my client's intention to utilize the same authorizations. Due to a chan4 in the plans, the project will require less impacts to Waters of the U.S., than previously permitted. The project changes primarily consist of a single family residential development instead of a mixed single family and multi-family development. Because of the reduc,.._E _-nsity, impacts to streams and wetlands to construct the stonmwater management facility will not be req ired. As previously indicated, mitigation to offset loss of important channel will be accomplished throu buffer establishment along the remaining streams on the property and along Lake Norman in accordance with the plans in the submitted application.

Field Office 151 Patton Avenue - Room 143 Asheville, NC 28801 - 5006 Mr. John R. Dorney Division of Water Quality - NCDENR Environmental Science Laboratories 4401 Reedy Creek Road Raleigh, NC 27607 Mr. Mike Parker NCDENR - Division of Water Quality 919 North Main Street Mooresville, NC 28115 Re: Approximate i58,8 Acre Templeton Road Residential Community, iredell County. North Carolina - Nationwide Permit #26, #14 Dear Sirs: On behalf of my client, Mr. Bob Dienst, of Dienst Enterprises, Inc., I am providing you with the following information concerning this well planned development for your consideration. The project site is located in rapidly developing Mooresville area, north of Charlotte. The site is currently zoned for a residential development. Current land use in the vicinity are agricultural land, single family subdivisions. The project has been planned sensitively to preserve the perennial and intermittent streams to the fullest extent feasible, and to minimize impacts to Lake Norman. There are approximately 1600 If of intermittent and perennial streams on the project site and approximately 0.40 acres of riparian wetlands. Due to sensitive land planning, stream impacts are primarily confined to only those necessary to implement necessary road crossings and to construct required water quality ponds. Clearly defined construction and grading limits will be implemented to minimize additional impacts as well as to preserve forested buffers to the extent feasible along the streams. The wetlands adjacent to Lake Norman will not be impacted. All fill material will be unpolluted and appropriate measures to control sedimentation and erosion will be employed. Wetlands and streams which will not be disturbed will be protected during construction from damage due to construction traffic, drainage and other forms of disturbance. Background The site within drainage areas of a tributary of Lake Norman in the Catawba Basin (Water Classification WS-IV). The majority of the site is a moderately to gently sloping ridge to the lake. Templeton Road, Page 3 February 9, 2000 Wetland hydrology is provided by a seasonal flooding, and from seeps, springs, and surface runoff over a clayey subsoil found at the toe of slopes where the ridge meets the floodplain. These wetlands can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved, Scrub Shrub, Temporarily to Seasonally Flooded (PFOIA, PFO1C, PSS1A, and PSS1F). The streams on the site include perennial and intermittent (except most upper reach)streams that have important aquatic value as determined by the USACE. Characteristics include persistent pools, riffle and pool complexes, fish in the lower portions, amphibians and macro-invertebrates; evidence of wildlife utilizing the stream; and rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate. There is a small braided channel which flows within the wetland area during rain events. HydrophZic Vegetation Vegetation in wetland areas and along tributaries is dominated by Facultative, Facultative Wet, and Obligate Vegetation and include black willow, green ash, willow oak, red maple, sweet gum, alder, silky dogwood, greenbriar, poison ivy, and others. Herbaceous plants include sedges, needle rush, jewel-weed, and other typical wetland species. SUMMARY OF WATERS OF THE U.S. Methodology Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the Routine On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland hydrology must be identified as described in the manual. The wetlands map has been used for planning and potential permitting purposes. Hydrophytic Vegetation has been identified according to the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands Southeast (Region 2?, US Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. SUMMARY OF A DI 'TION I WAT RS OF U.S. Surface Waters Perennial to Intermittent Streams ( + 11501f) ± 0.15 ac. Intermittent Streams ( ±5201f - unimportant) ± 0.03 ac. Wetlands ± 0.40 ac.

Road Crossing (one crossing of one tributary) ± 100 If ±0.02 ac. Headwalls utilized to minimize impacts TOTAL IMPACTS TO JURISDICTIONAL WATERS ± 825 If ±0.21 ac. Avoidance Minimization and Mi ig inn - As depicted on the plans, the wetlands and streams areas have been carefully incorporated into the layout of the site. The stream crossings are as perpendicular as feasible to the stream and/or wetlands to minimize impacts. - Except for the functional and necessary wetland and stream crossings and stormwater facility the overall plan has been designed to retain forested buffers along the wetlands and streams. Therefore the streams and wetlands remaining on the project site will be enhanced by buffers. Best Management Practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. These will include: a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees c) Preconstruction meetings d) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and natural areas to be preserved. e) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during construction of the project. fl Wetlands and streams to be preserved will be clearly marked prior to construction to prevent accidental damage to wetlands. The contractors will be held responsible for unauthorized wetland damage not permitted according to plans and specifications. Preconstruction meetings shall be held if necessary with rpprpapjggitres of the USACE apo Xhp NCDWQ. Templeton Road, Page 5 February 9, 2000 g) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life, such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface waters. A mitigation plan is proposed for a "no net loss" of stream habitat, value, and function to the extent feasible on this site. Unavoidable grading aa-=Qposed to be i i around the re ' in- r k Norman, TAcre are no impacts to important greater than 1501f per channel by construction Stream impacts by flooding will be mitigated by the protection o the remaining channels and the development of a forebay/ and vegetated littoral zone in connection with the required detention ponds. PROTECTION FROMFUTURE DEVELOPMENT The preserved wetlands and streams will be protected from future impacts by the applicant or by a group designated by the applicant for this purpose. As required, development of these areas will be deed restricted in accordance with restrictive covenants, or similar mechanisms which will be developed for approval by the USACE and/or NCDWQ. AQUATIC HABITAT The aquatic systems in the project area consist of wetlands and intermittent tributaries. A variety of wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid recovery. Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened. Aquatic resources are expected to be enhanced through the development of the stormwater detention ponds and littoral zones. CULTURAL RESOURCES The State Historic Preservation Office may review of the USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology and the Survey and Planning Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to determine if sites are indicated on the National Historic Register within the study area. CONCLUSION Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive and creative planning has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value and permitability. The goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental consequences of this development by creating a beneficial aquatic resource that will help maintain or minimize degradation of waters of the U.S. downstream of the project and through enhancement of remaining streams. The undisturbed wetland areas and the mitigation sites will be preserved by the applicant or by a group designated by the owner for this purpose.
