Box 528 Columbia. NC, 29202 Dear Mr. Holland: On October 16, 2000, the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your revised application for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Whiteville Towne Centre development in Columbus County. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0233, a thorough inspection of the site has been conducted by staff of the DWQ Wilmington Regional Office. The additional information provided in your revised application does not specifically address avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts on the property. We strongly suggest that you re-design the project to pursue alternatives to the proposed filling of wetlands in the outparcel. Furthermore, please note that the proposed stormwater pond with a littoral shelf will not replace the functions and values of the 0.4 acres of wetlands you propose to fill. We maintain that the existing wetland could be incorporated into your stormwater management plan, thereby reducing wetland impacts and improving stormwater treatment. It may also be helpful for you to provide copies of any your correspondence with the Department of Transportation pertaining to traffic issues in the vicinity of this project. Unless the proposed project is re-designed to minimize wetland impacts, or compelling evidence is provided to demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts, specifically in the outparcel, we will move toward denial of the 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e). Until the information requested in this letter is provided, I will request (by copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for our processing due to incomplete information (15A NCAC 2H .0507(h)). Thank you for your attention.

In Re: Whiteville Towne Centre Whiteville, North Carolina Dear Mr. Dorney: ' wRW?ii.?" 40, 1- 00i - 10 This letter serves as a response to your letter to Whiteville (E&A) LLC dated September 12, 2000. Our office has reviewed the construction drawings along with your letter in order to determine the feasibility of moving the three-way access drive off J.K Powell Boulevard into the proposed shopping center closer to the intersection of J.K. Powell Boulevard and Love Mill Road. There is a grassed median in J.K. Powell Boulevard that the NCDOT would like to maintain. Moving the three-way access drive in a southerly direction past the wetland area would remove about 180 feet of the grassed median.and would further complicate and restrict the traffic pattern near the intersection of J.K. Powell Boulevard with Love Mill Road (SR 1432). Much attention has been given to this project regarding traffic congestion problems in this area of J.K. Powell Boulevard. The City of Whiteville Rezoning Board as well as the City Council spoke at great length to our firm as well as the developer as to the importance of maintaining uninterrupted traffic flow on J.K. Powell Boulevard. As a result of the strict guidelines set forth by both the City of Whiteville and NCDOT, the developer will be responsible for lane widening that will occur on both sides of J.K. Powell Boulevard and on the northern side of Love Mill Road (SR 1432) to ensure that traffic flow will be maintained on both streets. Traffic congestion and flow are also affected by the location of access drives. If the three-way access drive (Drive A) on J.K. Powell Boulevard is moved in a southerly direction, this will become the only access to the proposed shopping center off J.K. Powell Boulevard. This would be right turn-in, right turn-out only, and would not be sufficient to maintain the desired traffic flow into and out of the center or to maintain the desired traffic flow along J.K. Powell Boulevard according to the NCDOT review and recommendations. The proposed development will disturb about 17,500 square feet of existing wetlands. However, the development will be creating approximately ## acres of open water and ## acres of wetlands (specifically the littoral/wetland shelf area) by means of the proposed stormwater detention/retention pond. The stormwater detention/retention pond has been designed as a wet pond. The upper portion of the detention/retention pond will serve as a marsh area (littoral shelf), with water depths averaging less than one foot under low-intensity rainfall events. The lower portion of the detention/retention pond will remain wet (open water), having an average water depth of up to 5.5 feet at the lowest point in the detention/retention pond. We have designed the grade of the detention/retention pond such that, at the point the main stormwater system enters the pond into the sediment forebay, there is about 150 feet of length at 2.00% slope and an additional 50 feet of length at 4.00% slope for the stormwater to flow along to the lower portion of the detention/retention pond where the sediments can settle out of the stormwater. At the lower portion of the pond, the stormwater will accumulate to a depth of approximately 5.5 feet before water exits the pond through an outlet structure. During this time of accumulation, sediments can settle to the bottom of the pond while the upper water levels, which will be exiting the pond through the outlet structure, will be of higher quality. A further measure for sediment control in the rip rap filter berm placed in front of the outlet structure to help filter water before it enters the outlet structure. Stormwater reaching elevation 76.50 or higher will filter through the rip rap berm, further assisting in sediment trapping. Please refer to the enclose plan for clarity regarding the scenarios I have described in this response.

(ECS) on behalf of our client Whiteville (E&A), LLC, is submitting the necessary supportive documentation for the issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification to impact 0.4 acre of wetlands on the Whiteville Towne Centre development site in Columbus County, North Carolina. This letter is intended to address all of your concerns regarding the proposed Whiteville Towne Centre development in your letter dated September 12, 2000. The Proposed Grading and Storm Drainage Plan is designed to optimize public safety and improve the water quality benefits of existing low quality on-site wetlands (Wetland A and B) through their replacement with a 0.97 acre wet detention pond/stormwater wetland area and a grassed swale approximately 735 linear feet long (Appendix A - Sheet 1). This wet detention/stormwater wetland area is located along the northwestern property boundary and will be designed according to Stormwater BMPs outlined by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)l. A completed DWQ - 401 Wet Detention Basin Worksheet has been included as Appendix C. An Operation and Maintenance Plan outline has been included as Appendix D. 870?. Red 0A Boulevard, Suite.

Driveway A, located off of J.K. Powell Boulevard (US 701), is intended to be the major ingress/egress into the development and its proposed location is dictated by the current traffic conditions associated with the intersection of J.K. Powell Boulevard and Love Mill Road, a grassed median along J.K. Powell Boulevard, outparcels A and B along J.K. Powell Boulevard, and the orientation of the facility fronting J.K. Powell Boulevard. Driveway A has been designed as a full service (i.e., right and left turning capable) entrance and exit onto the site. Safety issues raised by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and City of Whiteville at the intersection of J.K. Powell Boulevard (US 701) and Love Mill Road (SR 1432) have dictated the placement of the driveways off of J.K. Powell Boulevard in their respective locations to allow safe ingress and egress to the site. Wetland Evaluations Following a conversation between you and our Mr. Jeff Holland, the two on-site wetland areas were evaluated utilizing the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Guidance for Rating the Values of Wetlands in North Carolina 2. The evaluation and ratings of the two on-site wetland areas were based on: • Water Storage • Bank/Shoreline Stabilization • Pollutant Removal • Wildlife Habitat • Aquatic Life Value • Recreation and Education The on-site wetland areas were classified as ephemeral wetlands based on their small size and dependence on rainfall as a primary source of hydrology (Appendix B - Wetland Rating Worksheet). These areas are primarily dominated by black oak (Quercus nigra), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), Baccharis (Baccharis halmifolia), and Chinese privet 2 NCDENR. Guidance for Rating the Values of Wetlands in North Carolina, January, 1995. 2 (Ligustrum sinense). All of these species are considered facultative and indicative of marginal wetland environments. These areas appear to have been formed by the redirection of off-site stormwater runoff for adjacent parcels. These areas do not represent good potential for use as a stormwater wetland area based on their limited water storage ability due to their small size and shallow depth, and the presence of invasive species. The proposed wet detention/stormwater wetland plantings are expected to exceed the current rating of the on-site low quality wetland areas by providing increased flood attenuation, establishing native vegetation, and an increased ability to filter stormwater. The on-site wetland areas rated a 22 out of a possible 100 points. The primary reason for the low ratings score include: • Limited water storage capabilities based on size and lack of good microtopographic relief. • The lack of a connection to any significant surface water feature and/or lack of significant ground water inputs. • The species composition of these wetland areas are primarily dominated by weedy species such as Chinese privet and Baccharis that provide limited food and cover to wildlife and restrict the establishment of native wetland vegetation. • The presence of raw sewage within Wetland B due to an upgradient leech field. Due to the low quality of the existing wetlands, it is our understanding that the proposed wet detention/stormwater created system can be engineered to provide a greater water quality benefit than the existing on-site wetland areas. Specific water quality benefits anticipated include: • Wetland B is currently receiving sewage from a leech field located upgradient. This potential source of pollution to downstream waters will be eliminated. • Currently stormwater is being routed from the Quick Stop Food Mart into the 0.128-acre Wetland 3 A. This stormwater is not being properly treated due to the limited size and water-holding capacity of Wetland A. This area will be replaced with a larger wet detention area capable improved water quality treatment. To compensate for the loss of approximately 0.40 acre of wetlands, a 0.32 acre vegetated littoral shelf capable of removing a variety of surface water pollutants will be created along the slopes of the wet detention/stormwater wetland. In addition to the littoral shelf, approximately 0.08 acre of open water habitat is expected to be created through the construction of this system. The shelf will be vegetated and have a shallow 6:1 slope that provides adequate zones for the establishment of wetland vegetation. Detailed plan and profile views of this pond have been included as (Appendix A - Sheet 2). In addition to the wet detention/stormwater wetland, a grassed Swale will be created to treat off site stormwater coming onto the site from adjacent commercial developments. The existing ditch along the western property boundary will be engineered and regraded into a grassed swale. This grassed swale will have shallow side slopes, a gentle bottom grade, and various check dams. Specific benefits of this swale include pollutant and sediment removal and increasing the flood storage capacity of the existing ditch. It is believed that the proposed storm water management plan provides effective mitigation for any current function and values found within the existing low quality wetlands and provides for a more environmentally sensitive means to dealing with the current source of pollution to downstream waters, as well as being able to effectively treat any off-site storm water that is currently being ditched onto the project site. This proposed plan is being submitted to help ensure that the activities proposed would have only minimum adverse effects on the aquatic environment and it shows that the applicant is committed to mitigating for the function and value of the existing wetlands due to unavoidable impacts. Thank you for your consideration of the eligibility of this project as proposed for authorization under section 401 for the Water Quality Certification. 4 s3 NVId 30VNIVHO WHOIS CL . fra/p, ¢ VNI?OWJHDION'HT16A ll" . > 5 NOUOfULDW MU iftfi8l f1f5RfP/f10 ?i fl l ?

Box 528 Columbia, SC, 29202 To Whom It May Concern: On August 4, 2000, the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification to impact 0.4 acre of wetlands in order to construct the Whiteville Towne Centre in Columbus County. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0506, a thorough inspection of the site has been conducted by staff of the DWQ Wilmington Regional Office. Based on this review, along with your application materials, we have determined that insufficient evidence has been provided to conclude that your project must be built as planned. Specifically, can the crossing off J.K. Powell Boulevard be relocated to uplands to avoid the wetland impact? Furthermore, have you investigated incorporating these wetlands into your stormwater management plan? Unless modifications of the proposal are made, or compelling evidence is provided to demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts, we will move toward denial of the 401 Certification as required in 15A NCAC 211.0507(e). Until the information requested in this letter is provided, I will request (by copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for our processing due to incomplete information (15A NCAC 2H.0507(h)). Thank you for your attention.

SEE ATTACHED July 27, 2000 Mr. Jeff Richter USACE P.O. Box 1890 Wilmington, NC 28402-1890 Reference: NWP-39 Whiteville Towne Centre Whiteville, North Carolina ECS Project M1916 Dear Mr. Richter: Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd. (ECS) on behalf of our client Whiteville (E&A), LLC, would like to request that an NWP 39 be issued for the proposed impacts with no additional mitigation conditions attached for losses of two low quality wetland areas located on the subject site. The function of these areas will be offset and mitigated with the development of a comprehensive storm water management plan. Avoidance/Minimization After extensive searches within the local land market over the past two years and having to walk away from several other sites in the area due to issues including but not limited to environmental impacts, Whiteville (E&A), LLC has purchased an approximate 15-acre site to develop a Necessity Retail Center and Food Store located at the intersection of Highway 701 By-Pass and Love Mill Road, in Whiteville, North Carolina. The proposed development footprint has been downsized considerably to fit the approximate 15-acre site being purchased and still meet the minimum requirements to ensure the center's economic success. Every consideration has been given to ensure this development is successful. The site was reengineered and redesigned numerous times with the final design being submitted to the City of Whiteville and the appropriate agencies for permitting. The civil engineers for the project have met numerous times with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to ensure safe ingress and egress to the property. The engineers have had to consider traffic patterns and access, balanced with the existing conditions, to determine the safest location of the curb cuts and meet the Department of Transportation's requirements. For the reasons discussed above, the scope and size of the project and the land available, it has not been feasible or economical to exercise avoidance/minimization strategies for wetlands. It is anticipated that the project development will result in unavoidable impacts to 0.398-acres of wetlands. A concerted and coordinated planning effort.between ECS and Whiteville (E&A), LLC has culminated in the current site plan, which minimized the development impacts to the maximum extent while still achieving the project goals. FunctionNalue & Mitigation The non-alluvial wetland depressions located on the site consist of dominant vegetation that is comprised of facultative species. These depressions are currently functioning as storm water retention areas for off- site impervious surfaces (Figure 1). These wetland areas are of low quality and value and appear to be supported mainly from the off-site storm water ditches that flow onto the site and accumulate in these low-lying areas. The function of the present storm water retention, pollutant and sediment removal areas (depressions) will be replaced by a proposed storm water management plan that will create a sediment forbay followed by a stilling basin - wet pond. It is believed that the storm water management plan will provide a more environmentally sensitive means to dealing with the off-site storm water currently being ditched onto the project site. To achieve project goals and to ensure that activities proposed would have only minimum adverse effects on the aquatic environment, the applicant is hereby committed to providing mitigation for the function of these wet depressions through the development of an on-site storm water management pond with a sediment forbay followed by a stilling basin - wet pond. This would serve as a replacement for any wetland functions that may be lost due to site development activities. Thank you for your consideration of the eligibility of this project for authorization under NWP 39, with regard to additional mitigation activities for these low quality wetland areas. 2 r w a ,.T ? .o? a ?' f ? .w ''ice-• _ `.w ?` I ... .- .. 1 M .?";: ? ? ,...dr .•--? ? ..?.- _#?+_ a 1?? r,"'? ..- y?? ^???. + ????r" A ?#"al.?'J?..?- f?'•s ; M:. ? ? ? is I ? ?' . ?' ?t??, f_.r ?Nh6ev11te' '' „` ? ?t ?.? c?lm?, ? ., „• --' ..• '?'
