Hunt, Jr., Governor Bill Holman, Secretary Kerr T. Stevens, Director A!;7A?? D E N R October 19, 2000 DWQ# 00-1275 Mecklenburg County David Cushing Portrait Homes 9105 Monroe Road, Suite 120 Charlotte, NC, 28270 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Additional Condition Dear Mr. Cushing: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.30 acre of wetlands and to construct a utility line crossing of Campbell Creek at the Kimmerly Glen Site in Mecklenburg County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on October 3, 2000. Based upon our discussion with Mr. Phillip Hobbs of Site Solutions, Inc., there are no stream impacts associated with this project. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3287 and 3288. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 39 and 12 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 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. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and the additional condition listed below. 1. Deed restrictions or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds 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). A sample deed notification can be found on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands . 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 conforming 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. Sincerely, ?? . 4 err T.

(AGENT'S SIGNATURE VALID ONLY IF AUTHORIZATION LETTER FROM THE OWNER IS PROVIDED). Pre-Construction Notification Application Attachment 12. Wetland to be impacted by this permit will be excavated and filled with track- mounted equipment for the purpose of creating (2) permanent dry ponds for storm water detention. 14. A significant effort was made to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands and waters. Impacts to streams were avoided totally. Although only 0.3 acres of wetlands are impacted, a much greater area of the, site would need to be preserved to avoid all impacts, based on the location and configuration of the wetlands. The project design currently incorporates a considerable amount of retaining walls, two separate stormwater detention basins, and a substantial increase in development costs to preserve the waters and wetlands. The proposed project will result in preservation of 100% of the natural stream and a good consistent wetland buffer. 18(e) Surrounding Property: West - Zoned Multi-Family North - Zoned Industrial, with the Norfolk-Southern Railroad on its border South - Single Family Residential across Kimmerly Glen Lane 'Lke 2853 735 \ 7 I ??j :kA- - eoonshir l.• I? \?J/ t• c - \?:••?? •.?I - ?'

(S&M met with Mr. Steve Chapin of the U.S. Amy Corps of Engineers (ACOE) at the above-referenced site for verification of S&ME's Juiis&ctional Wetland Delineation (reference report dated July 5, 2000) and to evalum the on-Site stream in temp of aquatic siSrilicance. In addition, Mr. Pete Caldwell of the North Carolina Depatwmt of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) visited the site on July 13, 2000 to evaluate the on- sate sttr= in temps of potential permitting and compenwitory mitigation r Twemews, Based upon the ACOE's field review, the wetland area su mmnding the on-site strum has been broadened and now totals an agtimattd 1.0-acre in size. On July 13, 2000, S&,ME identified and delineated the updated upland/wetland boundary (reference the enclosed Figure 2: Estimated Waters of the U_S.). The newly delineated arcs should be surveyed, platted and combined to the previous swvvy of Waters of the U.S. The final survey of Waters of the U.S_ should be forwarded to the ALOE for review and jurisdictional determination- S&ME requests an olrporwWty to review the final survey prior to its issuance. With regards to the =eam evaluation, based upon obm rvations made during the July 13 site visit, the ACOE considers the entire length of the stream channel to be aquactically significant. Therefore, the ALOE would require compensatory mitigation for any impacts to the sumnbed. The NCDENR also co=d= the entire length of the stream significant based upon observations made during the site visit and would require compensatory mitigation for stream impacts. However, since heavy rainfall has bcfilleu the Charlotte area in the past several days, I& Caldwell indicated that the NCDENR would be willing to re-visit the site during fitwe 401 Watm Quality Certification permit review to rc-evaluate the steam.

The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are generally 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). Based on the information provided by the applicant, we do not object to the project as proposed. We recommend that pre and post development runoff conditions remain relatively equal so that any stream destabilization and flooding will be minimized below the site. We also recommend that trees and shrubs be planted around any detention facilities in order to lower water temperature elevations in the ecosystems and to provide avian and terrestrial habitats as well as visual aesthetics. Biologists of the NCWRC can provide planting specifications and schedules, if requested. 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.
