Kevin Martin

Raleigh, NC 27614
Dear Mr. Martin:
You have our approval, to conduct improvements to Pine Hollow Golf Course in Wake County as
you described in your application dated March 21, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this is covered by the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). 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 Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or
CAMA 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 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 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, 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.

MEMORANDUM
"401 ISSUW
TO
John Dorney, DWQ
FROM: Kevin Martin
DATE: 3/12/01 Hand Delivered
GFITJ?
TE, _
RE: Pine Hollow Golf Course Applicability of Neuse Basin Buffer Rules
Wake County, NC
As per our office meeting on 2/23/01 the purpose of this memo is
to request that you provide written documentation of our previous
telephone conversation where you indicated that the proposed work on
Greens #5 and # 17 were in compliance with the buffer rules since an
existing use was present. I am sorry to have to request this information
but the engineer has advised us that the locality which issues grading
permits will not do so without a letter from your office.
Our client plans to revise two existing greens adjacent to ponds.
The reason for the revision is that current green design, construction and
size do not meet current golf standards. This course is an old one which
was built prior to current knowledge of "proper" golf design and
construction. The client understands that any new drainage will need to
be discharged 50' away from any water subject to the buffer rules and be
allowed to diffusely flow through the buffer prior to reaching the
stream/pond.
The areas affected contain no forest vegetation and are currently
maintained in turf to the waters edge. Upon completion of the work
there will still be turf at least 50' in all directions from the waters edge.
Therefore, there will be no loss of buffer. Some of the work at hole # 17
involves replacing a wood bulkhead with a stone one and re-establishing
turf but this is maintenance of an existing structure therefore does not
require a 401 Water Quality Certification. Some work involves

Neuse Basin and Watershed Buffer Evaluations Groundwater Hydrology Endangered Species
Western Branch Offices: [phone] • [phone] • [phone]
excavation of high ground (3428 sq. ft.) at hole #5 and #17 (See attached
JMP sketch plans).
In summary, based on our conversation, the project is in
compliance with the rules even though there will be grading in Zone 1 of
the buffer because of the presence of an existing use and the fact that
turf vegetation will be re-established 50' from the waters edge.* Please
call if you need further information to provide the letter of compliance
requested.
*Note: A stone retaining wall will be placed at one green, but it is in an
area that currently contains a deteriorating wood bulkhead
therefore, there is no new impervious surface being placed in the
buffer. There will be 50' of turf re-established landward of all
disturbed areas measured from the wall or waters edge as
applicable.
