Re: American Hebrew Academy (DWQ Project #000640)
Dear Mr. Stevens:
I would like to thank you and your staff for the opportunity to work with your staff in
resolving the 401 Water Quality Certification Regulatory issues on the American Hebrew Academy
project.
For the record, American Hebrew Academy has asked me to notify your agency that there
has been no impact to streams on the American Hebrew Academy project, even though the Water
Quality Certification authorizes the placement of fill in 130 linear feet of streams. We understand
that American Hebrew Academy, through site design, completely avoided the placement of fill
material in streams.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
V. Randall Tinsley

Dear Mr. Drew:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 0.0133
acres of wetlands and 130 linear feet of streams for the purpose of developing the American Hebrew Academy at the former
Jefferson Pilot property as described in your revised application dated May 11. 2000 and revised on June 13. 2000 and updated on
September 26, 2000 with a letter from Randy Tinsley. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3101 and 3108. These certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers
12 and 26 when the Corps of Engineers issues them. 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 Certification replaces one issued to you on June 22, 2000.
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 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).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an ad judicatory 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.

campus that minimizes impervious surfaces, maximizes preservation of the natural biota, requires the use
of electri c-powered vehicles on campus, incorporates a geothermal system to minimize energy consumption,
and has otherwise taken extraordinary steps to protect the natural environment.
2. The total project impacts to waters and wetlands are the following:
a) only 0.0138 acre of fill in wetlands; and
b) zero stream impacts.
3. The written concurrence incorrectly states that the Project will impact 130 linear feet of stream
4. The Project satisfies all of the requirements under General Certification Number 3108 (for wetland fills
under \`WP 26) so that no written concurrence is required pursuant to General Certification Number 3108.
5. The Project satisfies all of the requirements under General Certification Number 3101 (for utility crossings
under NNWP 12 or Regional Permit 198100049), except that a sewer line crosses a stream at an approximate
45 degree angle, instead of the required minimum angle of 75 degrees.
6. The angle of the sewer line crossing is the only legitimate basis for requiring written concurrence and for
imposing additional conditions. There is no rational relationship whatsoever between the angle of the sewer
line crossing and the imposition of on-site stormwater management requirements as additional conditions.
7. The existing 22-acre manmade pond and the baffle system immediately upstream of the pond already
provide for 85% TSS removal and have been approved by the City of Greensboro as satisfying all
stormwater management requirements and fully protecting Greensboro's water supply.
8. The State is usurping the City's jurisdiction and the City's Environmental Management Commission
approved stormwater program.
9. Compared to the original plans submitted to and approved by DENR, there is actually less development but
the same or more stormwater management on the entire site (AEA tract and other tracts), making the
requirements imposed by the written concurrence and the letter dated August 8, 2000, inequitable and
arbitrary.
10. AHA has a vested right, having spent approximately 5350,000 on stormwater management facilities,
including AH A's share of dam improvements for the pond, and having committed the school to paying a pro
rata share of stormwater facility maintenance into the future, all in reliance on the State's position that the
pond and associated facilities would satisfy stormwater management requirements.
11. DENR has not required on-site stormwater management at an adjacent elementary school site, although the
American Hebrew Academy and the other school will have essentially the same amounts of impervious
surface. DENR personnel cite to an unwritten DENR policy to not require on-site stormwater management
for elementary schools because students do not drive to school, thus minimizing pollution of stormwater
runoff from such sites. The American Hebrew Academy is a boarding school for Jewish high school
students who live at school and therefore do not drive to school and, moreover, are not driven to school by
parents. friends, or school buses.

Re: American Hebrew Academy project
Stormwater requirement
Guilford County
DWQ# 000640
Dear Mr. Tinsley:
Thank you for your letter of August 24, 2000 concerning the regulatory rationale for
on-site stormwater for this project. DWQ's authority to require on-site stormwater management
does not relate to the sewer line approval as the letter states. However the access road which was
approved in our Certification Number 3108 under Nationwide Permit 26 on June 22, 2000
enables DWQ to condition the approval to require on-site stormwater management. Therefore
the Certification and its conditions are still in force as outlined in our recent (August 8) letter.
Frankly this continuing struggle with the American Hebrew Academy to conduct on-site
stormwater management is puzzling. It seems logical to me that that the Academy would want
strict stormwater controls from their site as well as within the upstream watershed in order to
assure that water quality in the lake would remain acceptable especially since the lake is a central
focus of the campus. These continuing attempts to avoid this responsibility are disconcerting to
our (DWQ and the Academy) mutual goal of protecting water quality in the lake. Please respond
to our August 8, 2000 letter which outlined several options for on-site stormwater management
so we can complete our action on this project.
I can be reached at [phone] if you have any questions.

Re: American Hebrew Academy
DWQ #000640 - Guilford County
Dear Mr. Dorney: G,?s
z?
I have reviewed the American Hebrew Academy plans and the written concurrence from your
office that General Certification 3108 authorizes fill in about one hundredth of an acre of low
quality wetland and that General Certification 3101 authorizes a sewer line stream crossing. The
written concurrence imposes additional conditions, including possible additional stormwater
management requirements.
It appears that the written concurrence (with additional conditions) from your office dated
June 22, 2000 (DWQ Project Number 000640) may have been triggered by the sewer line which is
planned to cross a stream at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the stream channel, instead of
the 75 to 90 degree angle that may be required for approval without written concurrence under
General Certification 3101. However, Water Quality Certification 3101 specifically provides the
following:
Stormwater management will not be required for this
Certification.
253312.1
Mr. John Dorney
August 23, 2000
Page 2
It therefore appears that the inclusion of potential stormwater management requirements may have
been inadvertent.
I did not find any other features of the American Hebrew Academy project that would have
triggered a requirement for written concurrence. We also note that the City of Greensboro has
imposed substantial stormwater management requirements and has determined those requirements
to be sufficient.
Based on the foregoing, we request written confirmation that stormwater management
requirements are not conditions of the water quality certifications that authorize the American
Hebrew Academy project (DWQ #000640).
I look forward to hearing from you in regard to this matter at your earliest convince.
Sincerely,
V. Randall nsley

Hebrew Academy looking for top students
The academy is scheduled to open in
fall 2001 on a 100-acre campus at
Jefferson and Hobbs Road on the
former Jefferson-Pilot Country Club site
in northwest Greensboro. Already, land
is being cleared at the site.
For the first year, the Hebrew Academy
will enroll 100 boarding students and an
unspecified number of area day
students in the 9th grade.
During the first few years, students who
are accepted by the school and
maintain highgrades will be able to
attend tuition-free for the full four years
of high school. Founders have yet to
decide exactly when the school would
begin asking students to pay their own
way.
The tuition offer shows how intent the
founders are on building a prestigious
school that will last for centuries, Mars
said.
"That's what it means to be a pioneer,"
he said. "You face the biggest
obstacles and the greatest challenges."
After the first academic year, one grade
will be added each of the next three
years, until the school includes grades
9-12 and an enrollment of 800, with
both boarding and day students. The
school will seek accreditation from the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools.
Founders envision that graduates of the
school will go on to some of the world's
elite colleges and universities for further
study.
"We're quite excited about the way
things have taken shape," said Mars, an
educator and former head of the
Brandeis-Bardin Institute, a Jewish
retreat in California. He was hired last
September to organize a staff and open
the school.
Already Mars has hired Rabbi Scott
Meltzer as the school's first dean of
student affairs. Meltzer, Harvard-
educated, is finishing a doctoral degree
at the University of Southern California.

Hebrew Academy looking for top students
at the University of Southern California.
He is expected to arrive in town this fall.
Mars is beginning the task of hiring a
full faculty, which would take over
teaching jobs in a state-of-the-art
facility. Classes will be limited to 12
students and a teacher, with each room
wired with the latest technology and
each student issued a laptop computer.
Classes will be taught in the Jewish Bet
Midrash tradition, which uses small-
group dialogue to explain and enhance
student texts. Teachers will sit with the
students around special tables, not
stand at the head of the class.
Dialogue, not lecture, is the preferred
method.
"It's the traditional mode of Jewish
learning, and we're bringing it into a
pluralistic, contemporary setting," Mars
said. .
Eight to 10 buildings will be constructed
during the academy's $40 million first
phase, which will begin in November.
The largest structure will be a 60,000-
square-footgym/fitness center.
Eventually, the campus will grow to 55
buildings,including a performing arts
center and many small student homes,
each housing 18 to 19students plus
faculty advisers. Students will be
housed two to a room, in homes
designed not to resemble dormitories.
The $40 million cost of phase one
already has been raised from within the
area'sJewish community. Famed
architect Aaron Green, an 82-year-old
disciple of the late Frank Lloyd Wright,
has been hired to design an eco-
friendly campus using building stones
from Jerusalem with copper and green
ceramic tile roofs and plenty of
skylights. A 22-acre lake will border the
campus.
The academy's curriculum is two-
pronged, Mars said. Students will
encounter a rigorous academic regimen
and participate in a full range of athletic
activities, just like at other top prep

Hebrew Academy looking for top students
Jewish studies and the culture's moral
and religious values.
"During part of every academic day,
we'll span the literature and history of
the Jewish people -- from biblical times
to the present," Mars said.
The headmaster has spent recent
months touring and speaking around
the country about the coming prep
school. The academy's Internet site
(www.americanhebrewacademy.org)
also contains information about the
project.
The academy will be a boon, both
academically and culturally, to the
Greensboro area, Mars said.
"We're proud it's happening in our
community," he said. "It will make us
one of the important Jewish educational
centersin the nation. The eyes of the
world will be on us more."
Greensboro's Jewish population is
relatively small, estimated at perhaps
no more than 2,500 to 3,000 of the
city's 210,000 residents, says the
Greensboro Jewish Federation. Their
local history is a powerful one, however,
dating to the 1890s, when the Cone
and Sternberger families came South to
build the Cone Mills empire.
The city's oldest synagogue, Temple
Emanuel, already has announced that it
will builds new sanctuary across from
the Hebrew Academy, which will have a
synagogue of its own.

Re: DWQ Site Visit Review
American Hebrew Academy Site
Hobbs Road
Greensboro, NC
A&A Proj. No. 17371
It is my understanding that there are two comments regarding the proposed American Hebrew
Academy development base on your June 7, 2000. The first comment was to determine and
confirm that the sanitary sewer easement along the Corporation Yard draw is located at least 10
feet from any wetland/stream area. The second comment was regarding the encroachment of
the lower softball field retaining wall within the 100 foot stream buffer.
We determined that the sanitary sewer easement was located closer than 10 feet to wetlands
along the Corporation Yard draw. The sanitary sewer line and easement was relocated in this
area to maintain this minimum separation. Attached is a copy of the revised sewer plan that
shows the relocation in this area.
To address your second comment of removing the hardscaping from the stream buffer, we
revised the location and orientation of the softball field and removed the proposed retaining wall
and provided a slope along the stream buffer area. The changes in this area are shown on the
attached copy of the revised grading plan.
The changes have been made and submitted to the City of Greensboro Technical Review
Committee (TRC) and Engineering for review and approval. A copy of this information has been
sent to Jennifer Frye in the Winston-Salem DENR Regional Office.
Please give me a call if you have any questions or comments regarding this project.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Please find seven copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application for the above referenced site.
The site is a portion of the former Jefferson Pilot property. The site is approximately 100 acres in area
and is located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Jefferson Road and Hobbs Road in
Greensboro (Figure 1). The site is to be developed with the American Hebrew Academy, a residential
high school. The development will require installation of sanitary sewer lines, the construction of several
roadways, buildings and athletic fields. As shown on the Phase 1 Wetlands Impact map, the development
will require three sanitary sewer line crossing and the construction of an access road. The construction
of the access road will impact approximately 600 square feet of a wetland seepage area.
We are requesting a Water Quality Certification to authorize the impact to 600 square feet of wetland
associated with the construction of the access road.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this request or if
additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES, LTD.
