Dorney Division of Water Quality - NCDENR 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite 250 Raleigh, NC 27604 Mr. Michael Parker Division of Water Quality - NCDENR Interchange Building 59 Woodfin Place Asheville, NC 28801 Re: + 800 Acres Diamond Creek Golf Course and Residential Community, Request for Nationwide Permit #39 and NWP #14, Averv Countv, North Carolina Dear Sirs: On behalf of my client, John and Sharon McNeely and all the participants in the design team, I am pleased to request your review of this very sensitively designed project. A great effort has been made during the planning process to develop a plan that avoids impacts to over 96% of the streams on the project. The plan also avoids impacts completely to the perennial trout water streams. Overall, the plan avoids over 96% of all the jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including an approximate 2-acre boulder field/spring seep habitat. The proposed development takes full advantage of previously disturbed areas of the site. The plan also shows that the headwaters of a deeply shaded and nearly pristine riparian habitat. along a trout water stream dominated by birch, hemlock and rhododendron has been preserved. During the planning process site reviews and discussions were held with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, and representatives of Avery County. We have incorporated into planning process all the ideas and concerns. During the construction process, the developer will impose strict guidelines and requirements to prevent impacts to sensitive natural habitats and archaeological sites. The developer also proposes to work closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission and the NC Natural Heritage Program to develop guidelines to avoid impacts to the documented sensitive habitats associated with Hanging Rock Mountain. Previous plans for this site by others included a ski resort and a large condominium development Mr. David Baker, Mr. John Dorney, Mr. Michael Parker Page 2, March 17, 2001 Summary of Impacts and Proposed 1Viitigation/Minimization Out of over 15,000 if of stream we are requesting confirmation to impact only 300 linear feet of intermittent stream to develop the golf course; impact only ± 0.16 acres of wetlands; ± 0.10 acres of ponds; and 150 If of disturbed stream bed for a road crossing. Bottomless culverts will used to avoid impacts to the bank and substrate of other intermittent streams. One bottomless culvert is proposed over a perennial trout stream. The drainage system for the golf course will include no direct discharges of storm water to the streams or the sensitive boulder field wetlands. Drainage will be sheet drained across buffers by the use level spreading devices and/or constructed pocket wetlands and bio-filters. A storm water treatment facility will be developed for the proposed clubhouse and parking area as well as the grounds and maintenance facilities. Remaining wetlands and streams will be buffered by at least the minimum 25' required, however as indicated on the attached plans, it is expected that the buffers will substantially exceed this amount. All fill material will be unpolluted and appropriate measures to control sedimentation and erosion will be employed and maintained. Wetlands and streams, which will not be disturbed, will be protected during construction from damage due to construction traffic, drainage and other forms of impacts. As required the preserved wetlands and streams will be protected by deed restrictions or similar methods. Background The project site is located in rapidly developing areas in the North Carolina mountains. Current land use in the vicinity is developing single family developments and agricultural areas. The focal point of the site is Hanging Rock Mountain and Four Diamond Ridge. SUMMARY OF WATERS OF THE U.S. Methodoloey Preliminary identification and delineation of die 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 were be identified as described in the manual. General Wetland Classification and Description The wetlands on this site can be describe as Palustrine Forested Broad - Leaved and Scrub/Shrub Temporarily Flooded and Seasonally Flooded and Palustrine Emergent Seasonally Flooded. The site is within a drainage area of unnamed headwater tributaries of Horse Bottom Creek in the Watauga River Basin (Water Classification - C trout). The majority of the site is sloping former agricultural land and woodland in secondary succession. The steep mountain slopes are primarily wooded. Mr. David Baker, Mr. John Dorney, Mr. Michael Parker Page 3, March 17, 2001 SUMMARY Surface Waters Perennial and Perennial tributaries (+ 15,3001f) + 2.25 acres Wetlands + 2.45 acres Ponds ± 2.70 acres Approximate Total - Waters of the U.S. + 7.40 acres SUMMARY OF IMPACTS NWP #I4 (1 Crossing) Int/Perennial tributaries +1( SO If + 0.015 ac. NWP #39 Intermittent tributaries (+ 300 If) + 0.030 ac. Wetlands + 0.160 ac. Pond ± 0.100 ac. Total - NWP #14 and NWP#39 + 0.31 ac. Approximately 96 % of Waters of the U. S. are preserved WETLANDS PERMITTING AND MITIGATION Preliminary planning for the project involved site analysis and consideration of environmental, economic and regulatory issues. Topography, natural features and systems, circulation, site organization, open space, development requirements, and environmental issues were considerations in designing the overall plan. The plan and commitments made in this report reflect a positive response to the preliminary discussions, determinations, and concerns of the regulatory agencies. Except for temporary construction and development impacts, we believe that the proposed project will not cause significant impacts to the ecological functions or values of Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitization Best Management Practices will 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 important vegetation c) Preconstruction meetings d) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent Mr. David Baker, Mr. John Dorney, Mr. Michael Parker Page 4, March 17, 2001 wetlands and natural areas to be preserved. C) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during construction of the project. f) Wetlands 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. 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. h) 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. Proposed Compensatory Mitigation A mitigation plan is proposed for a "no net loss" of wetland, stream, and surface water habitat, value, and function to the extent feasible on this site. The goal of this plan is to preserve, protect and the extents of the existing wetlands and streams to be saved through enhancement by the use of protective buffers. Existing wetlands and streams to be preserved will be protected and enhanced with at least the minimum 25' required buffer however as depicted on the plans, this will be substantially exceeded for most of the proiect. An existing pond will he expanded to mitigate for lost open water. An additional pond near the clubhouse will be constructed for irrigation, as an amenity, and for stormwater management associated with the clubhouse and parking. Pocket wetlands and biofilters will be developed within the golf course to prevent direct discharge of stormwater into the streams and to filter and absorb nutrients and other pollutants. A stormwater management facility is also proposed for the grounds and golf course maintenance facility. CONCLUSION The approximate 800 acre golf and residential community is sensitively planned to avoid and minimize impacts to the fullest extent feasible. Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive site 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 preserving, protecting, and creating beneficial stream, wetland, and riparian habitat. 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. They will be managed as a wetland and stream systems of high value. WPB PUUA CUUN?Y SINE • Pv?RY SO H a' H v> LO ?." C 6l H U G. Q Z 0 Q U 0 J r " J \ ,`'')\,/ <rI•.

Approximately 815 acres have been acquired for this project. The site is a northwest facing mountain slope east of Banner Elk, off Dobbins Rd. The majority of the site is in Avery County, but the eastern part includes some of Watauga County. The eastern property boundary crosses the summit of Four Diamond Ridge, but includes most of Hanging Rock (Fig. 1 - All figures are included in a separate section at the end of the text). It is important that the entire project be analyzed, planned and programmed carefully because of the topography, the streams and wetlands, and the biological importance of Hanging Rock and the Four Diamond Ridge. Beyond the eastern boundary of Four Diamond Ridge lies Seven Devils development and Ski Hawksnest Facility, with proposed development near the top of the southeastern end of the ridge. There does not appear to be development planned near the eastern end of the ridge and toward Hanging Rock from the Seven Devils side. Past ownership of the exact boundaries has been difficult to establish, however, ownership and management can be established for the Voncannon and Rasmussen families. Data were obtained from interviews with the present caretaker of the site. These data correspond with the information available from the Valle Crucis.USGS topographic map (1960). This map shows the site to be without timber cover from Dobbins Rd. up to ca. 4,200 ft. elevation on the south and extending along Four Diamond Ridge to about the 4,400 ft. elevation (Fig. 2). Since this map is dated 1960, the disturbance would have had to occur prior to that date, possibly many years. There is no USGS map available earlier than 1960 on which vegetation is shown. Interviews revealed that prior management included both agricultural and pasture use, and the present cleared area closely approximates the historically cleared area. The exception being an extension of clearing up the slope for ski lifts. In the early 1960's the quarry was developed. The rock was used to pave the roads for the nearby Sugar Mt. development. The quarry is currently filled with water and stocked with Rainbow trout. Unfortunately the revised Valle Crucis quad, 1994 from satellite data, did not pick up the quarry, although this revision does show the roads in the Seven Devils/Ski Hawksnest area. In the middle 1980's the site was purchased by General Andrews, who proceeded with the development of a ski facility. This development, which began in 1985, resulted in the current grassy slopes, with very little surface rock evident. No fill was hauled in, but rocks were removed, using picks and two front load tractors. The rocks were deposited in the woods and ravines nearby. This has resulted in some areas being more rocky than previously. The only major grading for the ski slope was just east of the quarry. A drainage from the slope was placed in a culvert and the ravine was fashioned into a bowl using cut and fill from the adjacent slope to the east (left)(Fig. 3). When General Andrews became incapacitated, work on the ski slope was suspended, although the same caretaker has been retained since 1985 to mow and control erosion on the site (Fig. 4). No ski equipment was installed on the slopes. Currently, due to an excellent stand of grass and well-designed water bars on the slopes, there is no apparent damage from erosion and the water in the streams and ponds is very clear. Some of the small ponds do show evidence of siltation in the past. Mowing the site has remained a priority over the years and there has been no replacement of the forest cover in the areas cleared for skiing (Fig. 5). During the development for skiing, most of the forest cover in the ravines and drainages within the confines of the active ski area was removed. The woody growth has been allowed to undergo normal succession. Hence, most forests are relatively even-aged and the composition is dominated by early successional species such as Hawthorne, Black locust, Red maple, and White ash. A cross-country ski trail was cut out of the side of the mountain in the late 1980's, along the southwest part of the site at about 4,600 ft., paralleling Four Diamond Ridge, sloping down to 4,200 ft. toward the north end of the property. Below this trail the woody vegetation has been disturbed and is obviously successional, although not all trees are the same size. Above the trail, toward the top of the ridge and toward northeast and Hanging Rock, the woody vegetation is relatively undisturbed. However, a winding, switchback access was developed from the 4,200 ft. elevation off the cross country trail up to 4,700 ft. This would have provided access to the ski lift. At this level, Hanging Rock is ca. 1,600 ft. to the north. The lift would have been at the southeastern boundary of the property and on the ridge leading over to Hanging Rock. Wetlands are scattered across the property. There are two major, perennial streams. One is along the north boundary close to Dobbins Rd. and one along the western boundary. Five small ponds occur on the slopes of the western part of the site and one small pond occurs in the lower middle of the site at ca. 3,800 ft.. Several other intermittent to perennial streams form on the slopes from springs, particularly one drainage in the middle of the property, in a wooded area. Proposed Project The golf course would be confined to ca. 200 acres, extending from the 3,850 elevation at Dobbins Rd. up on the slopes to ca. 4,200 ft., southwest-northeast across the slopes (Fig. 2). There are 30-40 home sited proposed below the existing cross country trail and accessed from a road built on this trail. Since the trail drops down the slope below Hanging Rock, at the 4,200 ft. elevation, there will be 1,000 ft. of elevation left undisturbed up to the top of the rock. Depending on how far the home sites extend to the southwest along Four Diamond Ridge, the homes will be closer to the top of this ridge, but further away from Hanging Rock. 2 The remainder of the report is based on several field visits and the Conceptual Routing Study Sixteen, dated January 15, 2001. Biological Aspects of the Site Describing the biology of the site is complex due to the past disturbance and management for most of the area and the high quality of Hanging Rock, Hanging Rock Ridge and Four Diamond Ridge. The golf course area will be examined first, then the higher elevations. The aquatic habitats in the golf course consist of ponds, streams and seeps. Visits to the area were limited to late fall, 2000, so it is not possible to produce a flora of the golf course area, although some inferences can be made. Figure 6 shows the uppermost, isolated pond at 4,175 ft. There are no fish present, the animals being macroinvertebrates and amphibians. This is the only pond with cattails (Typha latifolia). Note the ski slope at the top left of the figure where the cross country ski trail begins at the southwest corner of the property. Figure 7 shows the lowermost .pond at 4,125 ft. The floating vegetation is the pondweed, Potamogeton epihydrus. Again, the animal communities are composed of primarily macroinvertebrates and amphibians. The perennial stream, a tributary to Hanging Rock Creek, along the western boundary of the property begins in a boulder field and emerges as an open steam as it progresses down the slope. Near the northern end of the property, a culvert has been installed. Figure 8 shows the pool below this culvert. A brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) of 12" was found in this pool (Fig. 9) and below this pool are several smaller pools with smaller trout (6-. 8"). Brook trout are adapted to cold, clear, fast-flowing streams, including narrow creeks that are heavily shaded. Brook trout require high levels of dissolved oxygen and cannot tolerate temperatures that exceed the mid 60°F. Their diet consists of aquatic insects and arthropods. The only other fish species smapled during the visit was the Longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae), a common mountain species which is characteristic of small to medium-sized cool-water creeks with a slow to rapid current and substrate of sand, gravel, or rock. Near the property line, the water flows over rocks, without pools (Fig. 10). The macroinvertebrate population was examined here (Fig. 11) and the samples were identified in the laboratory of the NC Division of Water Quality. The findings are shown in a table in the Appendix, after the figures. The headwaters of Hanging Rock Creek, the other major perennial stream along the northern boundary of the property, near Dobbins Rd. does have sufficient habitat to support Brook trout, but there is a high diversity of macroinvertebrates present. Hanging Rock Creek, further downstream from the site, has a good population of Brook trout, according to the representative from the N.C. Division of Water Quality, who oversees this area. None of the other streams have sufficient water for fish or extensive macroinvertebrates, but do provide seasonal habitat for amphibians. 3 The quarry pond (Fig. 12) has been stocked with Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). In 15 minutes of fishing with an artificial lure, nine strikes were made and four fish were captured. The largest was 14 in. Figure 13 shows a portion of the ski slope above the trout stream with the rocks taken from the slope piled along the edge of the woods. Figure 14 is the boulder field headwater of the tributary to Hanging Rock Creek (trout stream), a habitat for amphibians. With the season so late, no systematic sampling was done, although this should be done in the 2001 growing season. The maximum size of the trees is 12-14 in. dbh, with multiple boles indicating the regrowth from stumps. These boles are particularly evident in Fig. 15, showing a 50 ft. buffer from the center of the boulder field out to the cleared area. The dominant species of this boulder field are Sugar maple (Ater saccharum ssp. saccharum), Red maple (A. rubrum), Cherry birch (Betula lenta), White ash (Fraxinus americana), and Black cherry (Prunus serotina). The understory consists of transgressives of these species, Hawthorn (Crataegus sp.) and a' high frequency of Witch-hazel (Hamamelis virginiana). Schafale and Weakley (1990) list the Boulderfield Forest as a natural community. Our interviews indicated significant disturbance for the forests around the cleared area and we observed multiple boles in the cover species. Comparison of the description of the natural community with the existing community shows that the typical Boulderfield Forest occurs at medium to high altitudes, in high, steep, north-facing coves which have a cool microclimate. The canopy is usually strongly dominated by Yellow birch (Betula lutea [alleghaniensis]), Yellow buckeye (Aesculus octandw [flava]) and Basswood (Tilia americana var. heterophylla). Characteristic shrubs include the Gooseberries (Ribes glandulosum, R. cynosbati and R. rotundifolium), Viburnum (Viburnum alnifolium [lantanoides], and Mountain maple (Ater spicalum). There is no mention of Witch-hazel as an important shrub. Since our examination was so late in the season, we cannot comment on the herbaceous cover, other than the presence of the Woodferns, Mountain (Dryopleris campyloptera) and Marginal (D. marginalis). Based on the above, this site does not support a typical Boulderfield Forest and the likelyhood that it will succeed into one is not high. A forest further up the slope, but below the cross country trail, will be affected by the practice range and several holes. This forest also has a dense flooring of boulders, making walking difficult. Although the boulder ground cover is present, the woody species are indicative of a Northern Hardwood Forest, but again, not the typical natural community expression. The birch present is Cherry birch, not the Yellow birch. Sugar and Red maple occur in the canopy along with Beech (Fagus grandifolia) and Red oak (Quercus rubra), while Yellow buckeye is more common in the subcanopy than the canopy. Black cherry is relatively abundant, and the two maples, Mountain and Striped (A. pensylvanicum) are common. Some of the trees approach 30-34 in. dbh, while the average dbh is in the 16-20 in. range. Based on the sizes of the trees and the mixed occurrence of atypical species, this forest reflects the past disturbance of the site and probably represents an atypical, successional, natural plant community. It is likely that the herbaceous species in the spring and early summer flora will be quite diverse and abundant. 4 Further to the east, fairways 13-18 also impact a forest, generally on a less steep slope and more disturbed. Large specimens of Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) 40 in. +, occur here along with smaller specimens of the more typical forest species. One of the common species present is Yellow poplar (Driodendron tulipifera). The subcanopy and shrub layers are open, which will probably permit a high diversity of spring herbs. Gooseberries (gibes sp.) were common. Other than several fruiting specimens of Blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) and Anise-root (Osmorhiaa claytonii), few herbs were detectable during the late fall survey. Although this part of the forest has a nice, open context, the species composition indicates a high degree of past disturbance. Species of Concern The presence of trout waters on the site and in Hanging Rock Creek below the site call for measures of protection during and following construction. It appears that no construction of facilities is taking place near the tributary to Hanging Rock Creek near the trout habitat. The headwaters of this tributary are in the boulder field and it is proposed that two holes will play over the boulder field wetland. From the existing cleared area there is sufficient buffer into the boulder field, Fig. ?. There should be no problem maintaining a 30 ft. buffer along the existing tributary, trout stream. Two other holes play across the stream below the boulder field. Regarding taxa that were not able to be sampled or identified prior to this report, we recommend that surveys of the amphibians (salamanders) in the boulder field headwaters of the tributary should be performed in the spring, 2001. Since the site is on the county lines of Avery and Watauga Counties, copies of the species of concern were obtained from the N.C. Natural Heritage Program for both counties (See Appendix). These have been analyzed as shown in Table 1. Table 1 Avery Watauga Total Records 151 123 Obscure and Historic Records 54 47 Bogs, High Elevation Spruce/Fir, Balds 60 44 Other Habitats, Other Specific Drainages 8 4 Subtracting the three lower categories from the totals leaves 29 species of concern for Avery and 28 for Watauga. These species could possibly be found on the site, and it will be important to survey the area for these species. However, with the past management and impacts by development, there is less habitat available than may be thought to be present on the 815 acres. The most exciting data on rare plants comes from the cliffs and ridges of Hanging Rock Mountain, Hanging Rock Ridge and Four Diamond Ridge (Figs. 16 and 17). The mountain tops out at 5,214 ft. and the upper reaches provide a High Elevation Rocky Summit Community, with the slopes below the exposed rock having the additional communities: High Elevation Red Oak Forest, Northern Hardwood Forest (both typical and Beech Gap subtype), and Rich Cove Forest. A High Elevation Seep has been reported along the north fork of Dutch Creek, north of Hanging Rock Ridge. This seep provides habitat for the American speedwell, Veronica americana, listed as SR by the State. The Rocky Summit Community on Hanging Rock Mt. provides habitat for the following plant species: Common Name Scientific Name State Rank fed.

Northern shorthusk grass, Brachyelytrum septentrionale, also listed as SR by the State has been reported from Hanging Rock Gap. (N.C. Natural Heritage Program Element Occurrence Records, Amoroso 1999, and Rohrer 1983). [E = endangered, T = threatened, SC = special concern, SR = significantly rare, FSC = federal species of concern (no longer used legally, but indicates a level of previous recognition)]. Rohrer (1982) reported on the bryophyte (mosses and liverworts) flora of the Hanging Rock area. Since the lower slopes had been impacted by development, he restricted his survey to the upper, drier slopes. As a result of not having the mesic habitats available, he found the bryophyte flora was not rich in species, nor distinctive. Eight species of mosses found during the survey were uncommon in this part of the Blue Ridge Province. Four species found were considered rare and one occurs on Hanging Rock Mt., the Golden tundra-moss. 6 Recommendations for the Biology of the Proposed Developntent With trout waters being present on the site, and with the headwaters of a significant trout water stream occurring along the northern boundary of the site, erosion control during construction will be critical. The 30 ft. buffer, with well designed silt fences and erosion barriers, will be extremely important because the tributary and stream occur at the base of the mountain. Also included in this concern for problems with erosion will be the protection of the diverse aquatic macroinvertebrate population, the food source for the trout in the streams. Since the fairways will traverse the side of the mountain, being a series of terraces, it may be possible to use the fairways to disperse the storm water runoff over the grassed areas remaining on the site. This will allow infiltration over a larger area and could reduce the concentration of water at the more critical collection points at the base of the mountain. Using the existing ponds for storm water storage could also help. Beside the trout, the information lacking on animal species and possible habitats on the site is in the area of salamanders. A spring survey of the boulder fields may reveal the presence of some species of concern. Most of the aquatic species of concern are located in the New and Watauga Rivers proper, as opposed to the smaller creeks near the site. No plant species of concern have been documented below the existing cross-country trail, and there are no exemplary community types occurring below this trail. Performing a botanical survey of the golf course area of the site during the growing seasons (spring, summer and fall) will permit the documentation of the flora of the area below the cross- country trail so that data are available for planning. As noted above, with no disturbance of woods and natural areas in the past 15 years, there is the potential of finding populations of species of concern that have become established. The slopes below and the top of Hanging Rock Mt., along with the undisturbed portions of Hanging Rock Ridge and Four Diamond Ridge are the most important habitats on the site. Data presented above support the importance of these areas. The following recommendations suggest ways to help protect these and should be considered as plans evolve. The slopes and crest of Hanging Rock Mt. and any contiguous areas that could serve as buffers should be placed into a conservation easement with an appropriate entity such as The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Negotiations for this easement could be compatible with the development and with the preservation of the mountain. It may be that negotiations with other owners and TNC could include more extensive areas of the two ridges as additional buffer. 7 3. Consideration should be given to closing the trails and clearings leading to the top of the ridge and near the top of the mountain that were developed to install ski lifts and allow maintenance. 4. Limit any development above the existing cross-country trail. If homesites are developed below the trail, and the trail becomes the access road, then access should be from the north end of the trail and not the south. Literature Cited Amoroso, J.L. 1999.

The purpose of the survey was to find prehistoric and historical archaeological sites within the project area that might be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Field techniques relied on shovel tests at 100 foot (30 meter) intervals in the areas of high probability for significant archaeological remains. The field effort concentrated on areas suitable for settlement in prehistoric and/or historic times: floodplains, level ridges, hilltops, terraces, and the heads of hollows as well as steep inclines for rock shelters. In areas with exposed ground surfaces (plowed fields, logging roads, staging areas for logging, powerline corridors, tree falls, etc.), the surveyors closely examined exposures for prehistoric and historic artifacts. The project area falls into three distinct landforms; very steep (in some places nearly vertical) exposed rock surfaces, slightly less steep wooded areas with thin soils (less than 30cm) overlying rock with exposed rock outcrops, and heavily contoured and manipulated soils. The latter is the result of previous attempts to create and landscape ski slopes and runs on the property. In some instances this appears to have involved large-scale earth moving. In an attempt to lengthen and create consistent ski slopes much of the area's endemic soils have been shifted and fill brought in from elsewhere. The site inventory includes 12 archaeological sites (Figure 2) representing both preliisloric and historic periods (up to the late 19th or early 20th century). The prehistoric sites cannot be assigned a date, since they are represented only by stone flakes, the by-products of stone tool production. However we did record two possible rock shelters at 31AV89 and 31AV90. Historic sites include the remains of a stone chimney fall at 31AV91** and a probable grave marker at 31AV98**. Each site appears in the following list with its state-assigned site number, a brief description of the site and its research potential, and our opinion as to whether the site should be considered eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places: Site Number Type of Site Research Potential National Register Potential Dmnd Crk - 1 Prehistoric - rock shelter Possibly high Requires test excavations 31 AV89 Dmnd Crk - 2 Prehistoric - rock shelter Possibly high Requires test excavations 31 AV90 Dmnd Crk - 3 Historic - chimney fall Low Not eligible 31AV91 ** Dmnd Crk - 4 Prehistoric - lithic Low Not eligible 31 AV92 Dmnd Crk - 5 Historic - isolated find Low Not eligible 31AV93** Dmnd Crk - 6 Prehistoric Low Not eligible 31 AV94 Dmnd Crk - 7 Prehistoric & historic Low Not eligible 31AV95 / 31AV95** Dmnd Crk - 8 Prehistoric - lithic Possibly high; Requires test excavations 31 AV96 Dmnd Crk - 9 Prehistoric - lithic Low Not eligible 31 AV97 Dmnd Crk - 10 Historic - grave marked Low Not eligible - protected 31AV98** through state laws protecting burials Dmnd Crk - 11 Prehistoric - lithic Low Not eligible 31AV99 Dmnd Crk - 12 Prehistoric - lithic Low Not eligible 31AV100 Dmnd Crk - 15 Prehistoric - lithic Low Not eligible 31AV101 The rock shelters recorded as 31AV89 AND 31AV90 warrant further investigation. At the time of the survey the sites were above the frost line. The frozen soils were not ideal for testing at the time of survey however; there is the potential to find intact subsurface remains at these sites. They are currently out of the area slated for development and could wait for examination if and when development of this portion of the project area takes place. Site 31AV96 is a small prehistoric site located at the headwaters of the stream on the western edge of the tract. Soils at this site area indicated the possibility for an intact `A'- horizon and may yield evidence of prehistoric use and settlement in this region of the county/state. Given its proximity to the Golf hole up-lope this site will probably be impacted by the creation of the golf course. The inventory also includes one abandoned grave marker recorded as 31AV98**. The grave is overgrown with trees and low ground cover. The single marker is a large flat un- inscribed field stone with slight depression in the ground surface. Given its proximity to the now extant house site recorded on the USGS quadrangle (Valle Crucis, NC - 1994) it probably was associated with it. The grave does not appear to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, in our opinion, but the burial is covered by the state's laws protecting abandoned cemeteries. Either the burial must remain in place or the landowner must begin the process of obtaining permission to transfer the burial. It is currently adjacent to the marked wetland boundary and can easily be included in this protected area We do not recommend additional archaeological studies of the prehistoric sites at 31AV92, 31AV94, 31AV97, 31AV99, 31AV100 and 31AV101. We do not recommend further archaeological study at the historic sites of-3) 1AV91**, 31AV93**, 31AV95**, or the cemetery at 31AV98**, the cemetery site is protected by state laws concerning human burials. We recommend Phase II test excavations at 31 AV89, 31AV90, and 31AV96. The tests should include a minimum of three one-meter squares at each site area.

Figure 2: The project area with arclhaeological sites. 6 Physical Environment The project area falls within the Blue Ridge Province of the Appalachian Highlands. The eastern section of the study area crosses the steep face of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Avery and Watauga Counties are on an irregular, mountainous plateau (ranging from 2,600 to 5,000 feet AMSL) with higher, steep sided ridges abruptly rising hundreds of feet above the lowland valleys. In the study area, elevations range from about 3,880 feet at the northern edge of the tract to 5,200 at the top of hanging Rock. The lower elevations of the project area define the southern edge and slope of Hanging Rock Creek valley. The mountains tend have sharp ridges and steep sides, while the valleys below tend to have narrow, V-shaped, wet bottomlands. Over two-thirds of the county's terrain is steep to very steep (30 - 60% slopes). Over 85% of the land has slopes greater than 1501;. Dendritic stream patterns and drainages heavily dissect the entire area (Daniels et ul 1984:48: U.S.D.A. 1944). One of the most prominent natural features of the project area is the mountain pass at Deep Gap, which has provided a passage between the Appalachian highlands and the Piedmont to the east since prehistoric times. The climate of Avery and Watauga Counties is temperate and humid, with the high summer temperatures (69 degree average) moderated by the high elevations, and winter's low temperatures (36 degree average) alleviated by frequent warm spells. Rainfall is relative]}, high - - about 54 to 57 inches annually. The heaviest rainfall is in the summer, often in the form of afternoon thunderstorms, which contribute to some of the heavy soil erosion (U.S.D.A. 1944:55, 'N.C. Association of County Agricultural Agents 1988:95). The steep terrain and rapid runoff sometimes lead to major floods, such as the flood of July 15, 1916 and the flood of August 13, 1940. The latter flood caused major damage around the eastern end of our project area, especially near Deep Gap and Firescald Mountain. The floodwaters and more than 50 recorded avalanches caused major loss of life and property, washing away houses and mills and submerging the highway through the Deep Gap settlement (Greene 19411. The soils of the uplands (including the project area) have developed in place from material derived through the weathering of geologic formations composed primarily of highly metamorphosed crystalline rocks. Most prominent rock formations in the area are Cranberry granite, the Unicoi formation, Linville metadiabase, and Montezuma schist (U.S.D.A. 1955). Cranberry granite is found near Elk Park and Cranberry stretching east past Banner Elk. This formation is comprised of granite in varying texture and color. Schists and granitoid gnneisses, derived from the granite, are found within the Cranberry granite formation (U.S.D.A. 1955). The Unicoi fonnation extends south and east from Banner Elk, Smokey Gap, and Montezuma to the Cranberry granite formation. The Unicoi formation is an old sedimentary formation and includes some Montezuma schist and Linville metadiabase (U.S.D.A. 1955). Montezuma schist is found in a narrow strip, running north from Montezuma to Hanging Rock Mountain consists of bluish-green and green epidotic and chloritic schists (U.S.D.A. 1955). Linville metadiabase is found primarily north of Linville and is a green coarse metadiabase and metagabbro (U.S.D.A. 1955). Although Avery and Watauga Counties are dominated by Lranite, they also possess areas of volcanic and mctavolcanic rock (U.S.D.A. 1944:54), which probably provided sources of workable stone for prehistoric stone toolmakers. Quartz is also abundant and was heavily used in prehistoric times. 7 The soils of the project area are predominately of the Ashe, Clifton, Matney, Porters, Rarnsey, and Tate soil series (U.S.D.A. 1955). The specific soils are listed in Table 1. The soil erosion of the project area is classified as moderate gully erosion (G), moderate sheet erosion (S), moderate gully and sheet erosion (SG), or severe sheet erosion (SS) (U.S.D.A. 1955). Table 1. Soil series associated with the Diamond Creek tract. Ck Clifton stoney clay loam, eroded hill phase. Mh Matney stoney loam, eroded hilly phase. Pm Porters stoney loam, hilly phase.

Se Stoney roughland (Ashe, Porters, & Ramsey soil materials). Te Tate stoney loam, undulating phase. Th Tate stoney loam, rolling phase. T? Tate stoney loam, hill phase. The natural forests of the area varied widely within small areas, determined by the broken terrain and elevation, slope angle and exposure, and drainage of the soils. In the bottoms, coves, and terraces, the wetter "cove hardwoods" forests featured chestnut (made locally extinct by blight early in this century), yellow poplar, white and Northern red oaks, basswood, red and sugar maples, black birch, white ash, hemlock, and black locust. The "upland hardwoods" on the drier slopes (especially south or east slopes) featured chestnut, red, white, black and northern red oaks, hickories, and sounvood. The highest elevations featured red spruce and Fraser fir (U.S.D.A. 1944:57). The hardwood forests contained a number of edible plants, including chestnut, acorn, hickories, pawpaw, grapes, and hog peanut. Areas disturbed b_y forest fires or land clearing would have featured a wide variety of edible berries and herbs. Early explorers, such as Bishop Spangenberg in 1752, reported large meadows and old fields, including mountain balds (Spangenberg 1922:55-56). Some of these clearings were probably the product of fires or Indian farming. The area falls into the "oak-deer-chestnut" association described by Shelford 0963). The animals found there in natural conditions by prehistoric and early historic settlers would have included bison, elk, deer, wolf, black bear, beaver, opossum, mountain lion, bobcat, fox, raccoon, and squirrel. Birds important to early inhabitants of the area were passenger pigeon (now extinct), turkey, grouse, and dove. In his analysis and synthesis of prehistoric research in the Appalachian highlands of North Carolina, Burt Purrington (1983:117) divided the terrain into several landfonn types for studies of'prehistoric settlement patterns: 8 Terrain Description _ A4uin I 'alley, fertile bOtlOMS floodplains and levees of the larger streams, such as the South Fork of the New River Mule 1•'allev, limited Bottoms I back-swamps, stony areas along larger streams Alain Valley Allargins terraces, alluvial and colluvial fans, associated rockshelters less than 80 feet above the stream A1uin I alley Uplands slopes and low knolls or ridge spurs, rockshelters more than 80 feet above the main valley stream Upland I'alk, I- Bottoms and Alai-gins along the smaller streams, such as Gap Creek_ Laxon I .

For instance, uplands seemed to be favored during the Earle Archaic period. Middle and Late Archaic and Early Woodland peoples seemed to range more broadly over both uplands and lowlands, ''Whereas later prehistoric settlements, dependent on arable farmland, focussed on better-drained floodplains. Early historic farmhouses tended to be located near springs at the junctures of floodplains and hill-slopes. (For detailed descriptions, see the following sections on prehistory and history). Avery and Watauga Counties today are still largely rural, with slightly over half of the county in woodland, about 20% in pasture, about 5% in cropland, and about 9% in urban or developed areas (North Carolina Association of County Agricultural Agents 1988:95). Prehistoric and Ethnohistoric Background The best recent synthesis of regional prehistory for our study area is Burton Purrington`s Ancient AllounlalneerR: un Overt icw of'Prehistoric Arch aeolciggv of'A,orlh Carolinu'c Western MOIMIClill I?Cgiott (Purrington 1983). The followin<a, description of prehistory in the current study area comes largely from his work. The earliest known humans in the area were probably small bands of'nomadic hunter- vratherers of the Clovis period (10,000 - 8,500 B.C. ). Clovis-like points have been found on very rare occasions in the New River valley and its vicinity, so it seems likely that the study area was sporadically occupied or at least visited by bands of Late Ice Age hunters 9.500 to 12,000 years ago. At that time, the Appalachian environment was radically different. From about 18,000 B.C. to about 13,000 B.C.. the highlands were covered with tundra while the lower elevations of the Appalachians were covered in boreal forests. The animals of these grasslands and boreal 9 forests included mastodon, mammoth, musk ox, elk, caribou, and mound sloth. From 13,000 B.C. to about 8,000 B.C., the tundra was gradually replaced with boreal forests, while northern hardwood forests of beech, birch, hickory, and elm invaded the lower elevations. Eventually, oak-chestnut forests covered the Appalachians in all but the highest elevations (Carbone 1974:89-91; Gardner 1974:29-30). We know almost nothing about these earliest North Carolinians. They were probably nomadic hunters and gatherers, but we do not know whether these eastern Paleo-Indians resembled their Paleo-Indian contemporaries west of the Mississippi River, who were hunters of now-extinct big game animals such as mammoth and bison. No intact Paleo-Indian sites have been excavated in the Appalachian highlands, but some of the locational information on fluted point finds suggests that these people were hunting among the herds of grazing animals in the upland tundras (Purrington 1983:107-109). Our survey found no evidence of Paleo-Indian settlements in the project area. The Hardaway-Dalton period (8,500 - 71500 B.C.) is the next phase of hunter-gatherer development in the Appalachian Summit region. Again, we know almost nothing about the culture of these early mountaineers, since their remains in the region are represented so far only by points found in surface collections, and not by excavated campsites. As in the preceding Paleo-Indian period, these sites are very scarce, suggesting either that the highland's resident population was sparse or that the region was only visited, not occupied, by small, transient groups such as hunting parties (Purrington 1983:109-110). We found no evidence of Hardaway- Dalton sites in our study area. The following Archaic period of prehistory is somewhat better known, but still the subject of a great deal of speculation because we lack information about major aspects of subsistence and social organization. Overviews of the Archaic period have suggested that the Archaic cultures of eastern North America show an evolutionary sequence in which normadic or semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, fishers, and shellfish collectors developed regional adaptations to the warner climates, expanding deciduous forests, and smaller game animals of the post-Ice Age Holocene (Willey 1966:60; Caldwell 1958). In Purrington's outline of Appalachian prehistory, the Early Archaic Kirk period is represented by Palmer and Kirk points (nonnally corner-notched) and by Big Sandy I and Kessel side-notched points. Evidence of Early Archaic settlements in the highlands is still scarce, but these sites are much more common than sites of the preceding Late Ice Age periods. Purrington has suggested that this period was the first to see permanent settlement of the upland Appalachian region by ven- mobile goups of hunter-gatherers. Early Archaic Kirk sites occur throughout the region's valleys and uplands, but they seem to show a strong bias for upland terrain (Purrington 1983:1 10-1 13). The Early Archaic LeCroy period (6,900 - 6,000 B.C.) is represented by bifurcated-based points such as the LeCroy, St. Albans, MacCorkle, and Kanawha types. Sites of this type are extremely rare in the highlands. In some parts of the Appalachian region of North Carolina, these sites seem to show a trend toward occupation of the floodplains and adjoining valley margins, a trend that continues throughout the rest of the Archaic (Purring-g-ton 1983:120). Our survey found no LeCroy or similar sites in the project area. 10 Middle Archaic Stanl_y period sites (6,000 - 5,500 B.C.) tend to be rare in the Appalachian Summit region, and Purrington suggests that the area was almost depopulated at the time. In contrast, the contracting-stemmed points of the following Morrow Mountain period (5,500 - 4,000 B.C.) are common in the region's bottomlands and uplands, suggesting a larger population and greater success in exploitation of the mountain environment. Like the Morrow Mountain period, the succeeding Guilford period (4,000 - 3,000 B.C.) is well represented throughout a wide range of terrain in the Appalachian Summit (Purring-ton 1983:121-125). Late Archaic Savannah River sites (3,000 - 1,000 B.C.) are common in North Carolina's Appalachian region. In the Great Smokies area, Late Archaic sites have been found mostly on the valley floors, but in the Watauga River basin closer to our project area, Late Archaic peoples used a wide range of lowland and upland terrain. The Great Smokies pattern of heavy use of the lowlands suggests that some Late Archaic groups were focussing on riverine and lowland resources, growing in size, and becoming more*settled and less nomadic. On the other hand, the Watauga River basin data suggest that some Late Archaic mountaineers still followed a Middle Archaic subsistence strategy- as nomadic hunter-gatherers, widely ranging over the lowlands and uplands in pursuit of a broad spectrum of plant and game resources. The Tenninal Archaic, or Otarre phase (1,000 - 700 B.C.), is represented by small, stemmed points resembling small variations of the Savannah River point type. Although archaeological evidence from Tennessee suggests that some Otarre populations in the Appalachians had domesticated crops (sunflowers), the locational information on Otarre sites from the Watauga River valley suggests that Otarre groups in the area were still exploiting the full range of the landscape, following a nomadic hunter-gatherer strategry similar to that followed in the Middle and Late Archaic periods (Purrington 1983:125-131). Our survey found no Late Archaic sites in the project corridors. In our project area, the Woodland period begins with the Swannanoa phase (700 - 300 B.C. ), featuring pottery for the first time. The diagnostic artifacts are ceramics featuring cord- marks and fabric-impressions (rarely with simple stamps, check stamps, or smoothed, plain surfaces) and projectile points classified as Swannanoa stemmed, Transylvania triangular (relatively large and crude), and Plott short-stemmed. Although farming and more sedentary villaL life were becoming common throughout much of southeastern North America at the time, the settlements of the Swannanoa period occur across a wide range of upland and lowland terrain, much like their Archaic hunter-gatherer predecessors or ancestors. Swannanoa settlements seem to show no particular preference for the farmable bottomlands, in contrast with the Woodland farming cultures of later centuries, when villages tended to concentrate on arable floodplains (Purringrton 1983:131-135). The Middle Woodland Pigeon phase (300 B.C. - A.D. 200) demonstrates the shift to lowland village settlements, although upland hunting and gathering camps were still common. The diagnostic artifacts of the Pigeon phase are pottery with crushed quartz temper, smoothed or burnished interiors, check-stamped or smoothed exteriors (rarely simple stamped or complicated stamped), and a variety of points, including large Garden Creek triangular, Camp Creek triangular, narrow Copena triangular, and side notched Pigeon points. The Middle Woodland Connestee phase (A.D. 200 - 600) is marked by sand-tempered ceramics with simple-stamped, brushed, or plain surfaces, and Connestee and Haywood triangular points. The Connestee peoples built long-term villages on the arable floodplains, and sometimes added platform temple mounds (e.g., the Garden Creek site in Haywood County). To judge from the high number of small Connestee sites in the uplands, hunting and gathering was still important. Influences from areas outside Appalachia, such as Ohio and Georgia, become noticeable in the archaeological record (Purrington 1983:135-141). Purrington describes an "Unnamed Late Woodland Phase" (A.D. 600 - 1000), possibly featuring Haywood triangular points and Southern Appalachian pentagonal points and Connestee-like ceramics. Much clearer evidence exists for the Mississippian Pisgah phase (A.D. 1000 - 1450), characterized by small, isosceles triangular points and fabric-impressed, smoothed, cord-marked, or complicated stamped pottery. The Pisgah phase has been intensively studied through archaeological excavations, yielding evidence of farming and palisaded villages, sometimes equipped with civic/ceremonial structures such as earth lodges and platform mounds. Pisgah villages and farmsteads in the Watauga River basin are apparently almost always found on floodplains and main valley margins, with small campsites scattered throughout the lowlands and uplands. The succeeding Qualla phase (A.D. 1450 - 1838), which grew out of the Pisgah phase, is the archaeological aspect of the Cherokee culture of the Appalachian Summit. Qualla artifacts include pottery v"rith folded rim fillets, curvilinear complicated stamping, incising, and occasionally cob-impressions, check stamps, cord-marks, and brushing. Small triangular arrow points are also common. Like the Pisgah phase, Qualla peoples built semi-permanent farm villages in the valleys, Occasionally with platform mounds as civic/ceremonial centerpieces. Unlike the Pisgah villages with their stockades and tight clusters of houses, Qualla villages tended to lack enclosing stockades and were spread out along wide riverbanks. Qualla sites in the uplands are relatively rare (Purrington 1983:142-151). The Cherokee Indians were formerly the largest tribe in the Southeast. The Cherokee were known to Europeans as early as the 1500's, when Spanish conquistadores under De Soto and Juan Pardo traveled into the Appalachian reygion. The English colonists of the Carolinas apparently became aware of the Cherokees by that name in the last half of the 1600's. South Carolina signed a treaty with some of the Cherokee in 1684, and some Cherokee sided with the Enulish in the Tuscarora War in 1713, but Indian relations with English explorers, traders, gold seekers tended to be rocky. Unlike most southeastern Indians, however, the Cherokee maintained much of their land, language, and culture well into the historic period, because their population was large, well organized, and settled in defensible mountain terrain. Around 1738, smallpox from the European colonies broke out among the Cherokee, with devastating results. (In 1 729., one English estimate put the number of Cherokee warriors at around 6,000, a number that dropped to around 2.590 by 1755, suggesting a population loss of over 50110.) During the French and Indian War, the Cherokee were initially allied with the English, who treated the Indians badly and turned them into enemies, however. In one incident, Virginia frontiersmen killed and scalped several Cherokee warriors and collected bounties on the scalps, which were passed off as enemy scalps. Some of the Cherokee warriors began raiding frontier settlements, but Cherokee leaders who sought to re-establish peace with the English in 1759 were taken hostage by South Carolina and later massacred by their captors. The Cherokee 12 defeated an English army in 1760 in a battle near Franklin, North Carolina but eventually lost the war when their Middle and Lower Towns were destroyed by Anglo-American troops. The peace treaty, concluded in 1763, led to massive immigration of colonists into Cherokee territory, and the resulting friction led to a Cherokee alliance with the British Crown at the outbreak of the Revolution. 1776 was a particularly bad year for the Cherokee, who suffered from the invasions of four Revolutionary expeditions and saw scores of their towns leveled. Peace was re- established in 1794, but the Cherokee continued to lose territory throughout the ante-bellum period. In the 1820's, the eastern band of Cherokee established a constitutional government based on the U.S. government, and in 1821, Sequoyah unveiled his system of writing for the Cherokee language. By 1828, the Cherokee nation even had its own newspaper, The Cherokee IPhoeIV , published in both Cherokee and English. In spite of these developments, the Cherokee remained vulnerable to encroachments by their non-Indian neighbors, coming to a head after the discovery of gold in 1828 in Cherokee territory in Georgia. Agitation for the eviction of the Cherokees from the Appalachian re&non came to fruition in the 1835 Treaty of New Echota, signed by a small minority of Cherokees and opposed by the great majority. The Federal army forcefully removed the eastern Cherokees in 1838 and 1839, sending them on forced marches to the western territories in present-day Oklahoma. This shameful episode, known as "The Trail of Tears," led to the deaths of about one-quarter of the tribe. A few hundred Oconaluftee Cherokees hid in the mountains of North Carolina, where they were finally allowed to stay after 1842, eventually establishing the "Qualla Boundary" and the present eastern Cherokee reservation (Swanton 1946:110-115; Perdue 1985:32-44). Although Avery and Watauga counties were probably part of the Cherokee territory in late prehistoric and early historic times, the land was apparently depopulated by the time the earliest European explorers and settlers arrived. When Bishop Spangenberg spent two weeks travelling in the New River area in 1752, he apparently encountered not a single inhabitant, although he did observe cleared areas that he attributed to abandoned Indian farmland (Spangenberg 1922). Purrington (1983:150-151) has suggested from archaeological evidence that late prehistoric/early historic Qualla (or Cherokee) settlements in the region became relatively rare, although the area was still used by hunting, trading, or raiding parties. By the 18th century, at least, the Cherokee had been devastated by outbreaks of smallpox and warfare with colonists and neighboring Indian groups. It seems likely that they were withdrawing to the Cherokee heartland in the mountains to the southwest, leaving the study area almost uninhabited. Historic Background Our research on the history of the project area involved studies in the North Carolina Collection (UNC Chapel Hill). in the North Carolina State Archives Search Room and Genealogical Library, the North Carolina office of Survev and Planning as well as the Office of State Archaeology. 13 Watauga county was formed in 1849 form Ashe, Wilkes, Caldwell, and Yancey and named after a regional Native American tribe (Corbitt 1950). Avery county is relatively young, having been established in 1911 from parts of Mitchell, Watauga, and Caldwell Counties (Corbitt 1950). Prior to 1911 the section of Avery County that the current project area encompasses was part of Watauga County. The history of both Avery and Watuaga counties parallels that of the northwestern region of North Carolina in that it is notable for its turbulent history. In 1760, just after the French and Indian wear had ended, pioneers believed that the threat of Indian hostilities had ceased. Many received land grants from Virginia to settle land on the upper Holston, Watauga, and Nolichucky rivers (Brown 1993 :12). Among the first known colonists in the region was Daniel Boone, who explored the region extensively in the 1760's. Local tradition states that Boone lived for short periods of time in a cabin on the present site of Appalachian State University in the town that now bears his name (Whitener 1949:28-29). Soon after these pioneers had claimed land a survey was conducted to find that some of these settlers had actually cleared land in North Carolina and would no longer receive protection from Virginia. The settlers of the region obtained rights from the still present Cherokee to remain in residence and proceeded to infonn the state of North Carolina of their intentions. These early settlements that took place along the Watauga River (known as the Watauga settlements) were the first permanent white settlements in western North Carolina (Blackmun 1977: 99-100). Due to the physical location of the settlements they were isolated geographically, economically, and politically from the government of North Carolina. In 1772 the Watauga settlers came together and drafted the Articles of the Watauga Association defining political structure for purposes of overning and protecting themselves (Brown 1993:13). The Watuaga settlers were relatively unaffected by the opening of hostilities between the Colonies and England. The more immediate threat to the settlers were confrontations with the Cherokee who were intent upon exterminating white settlers throughout western North Carolina. In an effort to seek support the Watuaga settlers petitioned and were granted formal recognition by the state of North Carolina as the Washington District (Brown 1993:13). In 1777 new boundaries were drawn that allowed for European settlement of the region. With hostilities escalating between the colonies and the British, few of the western North Carolinians Joined the Continental Ann,, most of the settlers remained at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. However, when the Watauga settlers learned of the English plans to occupy the region action was taken. An untrained militia was formed which remained unattached to the state or Continental Army. The militia became known as the Overmountain Men and they were comprised of individuals from east Tennessee and western North Carolina. In 1780 the so-called Overniountain Men trekked from their settlements in the Blue Ridue to King's Mountain in South Carolina. The British were well established upon the ridgetop and proved to be a formidable force. In light of the obvious advantage of the British, traitors in the Overmountain Men militia deserted and informed the English of their plans to attack. As a result the Overmountian Men adopted an alternate strategy, which lead to the resounding defeat of the British at King's Mountain. 14 Subsequent to the Revolutionary War, conflicts of interest led the leaders west of the Blue Ridge to entertain notions of succession from the state of North Carolina. Regional leaders met in 1784 and drew up a constitutional document and proposed Franklin be the name of the new state they wished to create, however, official recognition never occurred. Strangely enough the unrecognized state operated locally and signed a treaty with the Cherokee. Although it held no official status all the counties in the state of Franklin were represented in the North Carolina General Assembly between 1784 and 1788 (Brown 1993:14). By 1789, the state of North Carolina conceded to the cession of its western lands, among them Washington District, to the Republic. This shrank the western boundary of North Carolina to its present position, its former lands absorbed by Tennessee (Corbitt 1950). The intervening years between the close of the Revolutionary war and the commencement of the Civil War allowed many the chance to farmstead. The choice of an Appalachian farmstead location was influenced by several geographical factors. Proximity to a spring (or at least a stream) for both water and food preservation was vital, since reliable well- drilling machinery for penetrating the rocky soil was not commonly used until the middle of this century. Hilltops were considered poor choices because of their exposure to winter storms. (In an interesting contrast, Early Archaic sites in the region are commonly found on such exposed hilltops [see above], suggesting that they were occupied during the warmer months.) A southern exposure was preferred because of the additional wan-nth provided by the winter sun. Access to roads was also necessary, but a buffer space between a main road and the dwelling was considered essential for privacy. A popular location for a dwelling was the juncture of floodplains and hill-slope, allowing the house to sit slightly above the floodplain. With this arrangement, the arable land was left for farming, and the house had protection from the rear while maintaining a view of the farmland. As the landscape filled up with settlers, such ideal house sites became scarce, and farmers began building their homes in coves and on higher slopes. In the second half of this century, improved roads, mobile well-drilling machinery, heavy earthmovinu equipment for land leveling, and a groNving population led to the construction of many houses in less accessible areas and on dry, exposed hilltops (Keber 1978:196-201). During the Civil War. Watau<(a County began as a pro-Confederate stronghold, providing about 1,000 soldiers to the Southern cause, but Union sympathizers were numerous among the mountaineers. By 1864, the Confederacy had weakened, Union supporters began to work more actively and openly, and Watauga County became a battleground between Confederate Horne Guards and Union guerrillas. In the bloodshed of those years, it was difficult to separate some of the incidents of violence into those stemming from "political" acts of war and those arising from feuds and the settling of old scores. The presence of bandits and marauding deserters or "bummers" added to the climate of violence and uncertainty. Troops from both sides and bandits claiming lovalr - to one side or another terrorized the mountains, often looting and killing almost at will (Hargrove 1989-11). One of the major events of the Civil War in Watauga County was Stoneman's Raid, taking place near the end of the war. In 1865, Federal cavalry under Major General George H. Stoneman, based in Tennessee, moved eastward through western North Carolina and Virginia with the assignment of destroying Confederate rail traffic. The advance guard attacked Boone 1_> on March 28, 1865. A number of raiders and local civilians were killed in brief skirmishes, and the jail at Boone was burned, along with the county records (Barrett 1963:350-351). After General Stoneman and the First Brigade moved on to Wilkesboro through Deep Gap, General George Kirk and the Second and Third North Carolina Mounted Infantry replaced him in Boone on April 6. Kirk's task was to hold the county and fortify the roads and passes in the area against counter-attacks by Confederate cavalry. Under Federal Brigadier General Tillson, the Second North Carolina Mounted Infantry built fortifications at Deep Gap. The construction work was apparently performed by conscripted civilians and captured members of the Confederate Home Guard. According to local tradition, the main fortification at Deep Gap was a stockade and an encircling trench, enclosing about one acre (Arthur 1915:179). In addition to the stockade, the Federals built breastworks to the east along the road through the Gap. This entrenchment was a. crescent-shaped ditch, largely destroyed by the construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway around 1959 (Van Noppen 1961). The site of the fort is marked on the south side of U.S. 421 by State Highway Marker N-33, which reads "STONEMAN'S RAID: On a raid through western North Carolina, Federal forces under Gen. George Stoneman erected a palisaded fort here in April 1865." Only a trace of the breastworks is visible in the area south of U.S. 421 and north of the Blue Ridge Parkway access ramp. After the War, Watauga County experienced few changes for several decades. The area remained one of North Carolina's "Lost Provinces," along with Ashe and Alleghany Counties (Avery County did not exist as of yet), isolated from the rest of North Carolina by poor roads from the Piedmont. For these northwestern mountain counties, trade with Tennessee and Virginia was much more important than with other parts of North Carolina. A rail connection did not reach the region until 1917, when the Eastern Tennessee and Northwestern North Carolina Railroad (primarily a timber railroad) connected Boone with Johnson City, Tennessee (This line was destroyed by the 1940 flood). The population grew steadily during the late- nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, however. In 1870, the population of Watauga County was 5,287, and almost double by 1890, and reaching over 13,000 in 1910 (Whitener 1949:48). Another change was the new emphasis on the tourist industry, catering to summertime visitors escaping the heat and malaria of the coast and Piedmont. Blowing Rock, to the south of Boone, was an early resort with summer residences and boarding houses dating to the antebellurn period. After the War, the summer tourist trade grew, leading to the construction of the Blowing Rock Hotel in 1885 (Van Noppen 1973:371). Tourism has since become a major part of the region's economy. In 1911, when Aver County was created from parts of Mitchell, Watauga and Caldwell Counties, it was decided that the county seat would be Newland (Corbitt 1950). The count) name comes from Colonel Waightstill Avery, who served in the Revolutionary War and later became North Carolina's first attorney general. At the time Avery Count), was created there were no paved roads within its boundaries. Many local attempts were made to construct roads and raise funds for road construction, however these attempts failed. It was not until the 1920's that the state took over all road construction and maintenance for Avery and Watauga Counties. Major changes came to Watauga and Avery Counties after about 1920. North Carolina's "Good Roads" campaign of the 1920's led to the construction of hard-surfaced roads within the counties 16 and with areas to the east, finally linking the "Lost Provinces" with the rest of the state. The Blue Ridge Parkway, begun in the 1930's, opened up larger sections of the mountains to tourists. Appalachian State University also became a major regional influence. Founded in 1899 at Boone as the Watauga Academv, the school became a state-supported institution, the Appalachian Training School for teachers, in 1903. It went through several transformations as the Appalachian State Normal School (1925-1929) and Appalachian State Teachers College (beginning in 1929), before it became Appalachian State University in the 1960's. The introduction of commercial farming led to the rise of the dairy industry, burley tobacco, and truck farming, as well as (in recent years) Christmas tree farming (Whitener 1949:49, 74-85). Today almost half of the farm income is from horticultural products, timber, and Christmas trees. About one-quarter is from poultry, 15% is from cattle and dairying, and about 10% from burley tobacco and other field crops (North Carolina Association of County Agricultural Agents 1988:95). Archaeological Research in the Project Vicinity Reviews of the site files in the Office of State Archaeology showed that no knONAm archaeological sites have been recorded within the project area. However, a total of 32 archaeological sites are found within a two and a half mile radius from the project area. Twenty- eight of these are found in Watauga County, and four are located in Avery County. Unfortunately very little information is available regarding the majority of the recorded sites in the area. This is most likely due to the time period in which they were recorded. All of the 32 archaeological sites were recorded in the early--mid l 970's under different guidelines and standards than emploved today. As a result, we find discrepancies in the recording of the sites and can therefor only give a brief summarization of the information found in the follm ing table. Table 2.

This correlation of Conalaree and similar soils with Woodland village sites also seems to hold true for the Piedmont. However, none of these soil types were present in the current project area. Our survey_ shows that smaller settlements sometimes occupied the less well-drained soils of narrow upland valleys and spring-heads. 18 1?

Field Methods Since most of the project area is in forest or pasture, the survey relied heavily on screened shovel tests at intervals of 30 meters (100 feet). The shovel tests measured about 35 to 45 centimeters (14 to 18 inches) across and were excavated to the underlying clay subsoil. Soil from shovel tests was screened through 1/4 inch hardware cloth. Whenever a surveyor uncovered an artifact in a shovel test, the survey crew dug additional shovel tests at 10 and 20 meter intervals along the transect and at right angles to it. In areas with exposed ground surfaces (plowed fields, farmroads, treefalls, etc.), the surveyors closely examined the area for prehistoric and historic artifacts. We defined a prehistoric site as an area where we found at least one artifact dating to the prehistoric period (for example, a flake from manufacturing or repairing stone tools, a stone projectile point, or a potsherd). We defined an historic site as an area containing patterned evidence of settlement (house foundations, for example) or industry (a mill or still site, for example) dating between colonial settlement in the mid-eighteenth century and 1950 (the minimum age for National Register of Historic Places eligibility is 50 years). Practically applied, we would classify the remains of a house, a mill, a bridge, a foundry, or even a garbage dump dating before 1950 as an archaeological site. An isolated fragment of whiteware or bottle glass would not be recorded as a site. Results of the Survey This section presents the inventory of archaeological sites recorded during our survey of the project area. Under each site, we include information on the site's period of occupation (if known), the artifacts collected, the techniques used to locate and define the site, some of the relevant environmental details, indications of preservation or disturbance, potential for future research, and speculations on the effects of project construction on the sites. The site forms submitted to the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) list additional environmental information (elevation, distance from water, etc.). Later sections address the question of each site's siunificance and recommendations for each site. The survey recorded 12 archaeological sites. Figures 2 and 3 show the location of each site. The site numbers are assigned by the Office of State Archaeology under the national system of site identification. in which "31" stands for North Carolina, "W7 stands for Watauga Countv and "AV" for Avery County. The last numbers represent the order in which the site was entered into the OSA site files for each County. The "**" suffix indicates a historic period site. Accession numbers are also assigned by the OSA, and each number is inked onto the artifacts to help in future identification after curation. In prehrninan? comments on the Diamond Creek Project (ER 01-7550), the State Historic Preservation Officer (see Appendix One) did not identify any previously known archaeological 23 sites,Aithin the project boundaries. However areas of concern and high probability were identified (Figure 4) for archaeological examination. A review of site files at OSA identified numerous sites nearby on the rocky southeast slopes on the eastern side of Hanging Rock and Snakeden Ridges, (Watauga County) as well as several lowland valley and floodplain sites close by in Avery County. A review of historic maps identified two houses previously on the tract (Figure 5). Only scant archaeological evidence survives at the location of one of these house sites (31AV95**) the other has been destroyed leaving no evidence of its location. Dmnd Crk I Site No. 31AN'89 Acen. No. 201003 UTM 0424820 x 3999899 Type ofsite: This prehistoric rock-shelter (Figure 6) is represented by a partial felsic preform and three felsic primary forming flakes. The artifacts were recovered from an exposure under the rock overhang. The overhang protects an area two meters wide and a meter and half deep with the highest point about a meter and a half at the opening. The lack of diagnostic artifacts makes it impossible to assign a date to the site. How recorded: During a surface inspection of the steep western slope of Four Diamonds Ridge, the surveyors found the large rock outcrop and stone overhang. A thorough check of the vicinity identified a second rockshelter 40 meters down slope. Based on the distance between the two areas and the lack of suitable outcrops between the two they were designated as two shelter sites. Figure 6. Photo of 31AV89. 24 Environment: The site is northwest (down slope) from the access road parallel to Four Diamonds Ridge on a slight flat on the ridge slope. This wooded slope has numerous rack outcrops with little undergrowth. Nearby (30 meters to the southeast) is a small seasonal spring. The soils are listed as Ramsey stony loam, eroded steep phase (Rc). Signs of-preservation or disturbance: Natural erosion processes are the primary sources of disturbance at the site. Rcscurch poientiul: Though the site has a low density of artifacts the area immediately associated with overhang may generate further archaeological information regarding the prehistory of the region.

The artifacts were recovered from a shovel test located at the base of a rock overhang. The lack of diagnostic artifacts makes it impossible to assign a date to the site. HoN, recorded: During a surface inspection of the steep western slope of Four Diamonds Ridge, the survevors found the large rock outcrop and stone overhang. This site is located 40 meters down slope from 31AV89. Based on the distance between the two areas and the lack of suitable outcrops between the two they wvere designated as two rockshelter sites. Fns ir•onment: 31 AV90 is northwest (down slope) from the access road parallel to Four Diamonds Ridge. The site is situated in a slight bowl on a wooded slope with little undergrowth near the headwaters of an intermittent spring. The soils are listed as Ramsey stony loam, eroded steep phase (Rc). Si(,ns of'preservution or clisturhunce: Natural erosion processes are the primary sources of disturbance at the site. Research pore ntiul: Though the site has a low density of artifacts, its proximity to the spring, and relative protection from the elements may generate further archaeological information regarding the prehistory of the region. The landowner has agreed to a Phase 11 testing of the site by Cultural Resources Assessment Group to be conducted by spring 2001. n?

No. 201005 UTM 0425140 x 4001500 Tape of'site: This historic-period house site is represented by a stone chimney fall (Figure 7) from an area of 20 meters in diameter. The house is not indicated on the Avery County soil survey map (1955) nor does it appear on the 193 8 State highways and roads map of the county. The 1938 map does indicate a nearby road traversing the saddle between Hanging Rock and the adjacent hill northward and would have facilitated transportation to and from the site. Artifacts recovered from the site are one piece of aqua window glass (ST-3); and one heavily corroded round kvire nail (ST-4). This would suggest that the structure dates from the late nineteenth- earl, twentieth century. Hoy, recorded: The survevors identified the stone chimney fall as well as a nearby fence line to the northeast while conducting a shovel transect along a low ridge above Hanging Rock Creek. A total of seven shovel tests were conducted at the site with only two yielding artifacts. 26 ??

The site area is approximately 10 meters in diameter. The lack of diagnostic artifacts makes it impossible to assign a date to the site. How'recorded. During a shovel test series at the confluence of a drainage wash and the main stream the surveyors recovered the flakes from ST-1, four additional tests were excavated in the vicinity. Environment: Like 31AV96 the site is on a small flat at the confluence of a small drainage/wash and the main stream. The site is located on the upstream side of the "V" confluence. There are a number of exposed rock outcrops in the vicinity, suggesting a repeated pattern of alluvial wash and flooding leaving no evidence for intact "A" soils. The soils present are also the same as those associated with 31AV96, stoney colluvium (Tusquitee and Tate soil materials-Sd). Signs ofpreservation or disturbance: Soil erosion and flooding are the primary sources of disturbances at this site area. Research potential: The low density of artifacts and the high degree of disturbance diminish the potential for additional research. Dmnd Crk 10 Site No. 31AV98** Accn.

How recorded: During a shovel test transect along the course of the stream the surveyors found the marker next to a partially collapsed fence line (seen in the background of one of the photographs). South of the site (upslope), there were several bulldozer berms, apparently associated with the contouring of the ski run. A thorough probing and examination of the vicinity (15 x 15 meter area) yielded no evidence of a larger gravesite area. Environment: The site is bounded on the west, about 20 meters from the bank, by the stream, and 15 meters from the edge of the grass covered ski run. The soils are the same as those associated with 31AV96 and 31AV97, stoney colluvium (Tusquitee and Tate soil materials-Sd). Signs ofpreservation or disturbance: The area is currently wooded and appears relatively undisturbed. Additionally, the site falls within the 30 foot wetland buffer of the near by stream. Research potential: The research value of the gravesite with its uninscribed and undated marker appears to be low. The cemetery is protected by state laws on the preservation of abandoned cemeteries and unmarked human burials. Dmnd Crk 11. Site No. 31AV99 Acen.

How recorded: The flake was recovered during a surface inspection of eroded and exposed ground surfaces associated with a rock outcrop on the south/southeast face of Hanging Rock. Visibility was good -- about 70-80%. Environment: The site is on the south/southeast face of Hanging Rock near the crest of the saddle between with four Diamonds Ridge. The soils in the area are heavily eroded and are reported as "Rocky" in the County Soil survey. Signs of preservation or disturbance: Soil erosion is the major source of disturbance at this site. Research potential: The low density of artifacts (one flake) and the high degree of disturbance diminish the potential for additional research. 39 Standards of Significance Our evaluations of archaeological significance come from the published criteria of the National Register of Historic Places (National Park Service 1986:1) for establishing historic significance for structures, sites, or objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, craft, feeling, and association and that: A. are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinctions; or D. have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. (National Park Service 1986) Some types of properties are usually not eligible for National Register status: properties less than 50 years in age; churches; cemeteries; commemorative items, such as public monuments; and structures moved from their original locations or substantially altered. If these types of properties are an integral part of a larger National Register district, they might qualify for National Register status. Cemeteries can sometimes be eligible for nomination if they contain graves of persons of transcendent historical importance, distinctive design features, or connections with historic events. The grave of a historical figure might be eligible for National Register status. "if there is no other appropriate site or building directly associated with his or her productive life" (National Park Service 1986:1). For prehistoric sites, the most relevant criterion is "D." Do these prehistoric sites have the potential to produce significant information and new insights on the region's prehistoric past? Since the majority of the prehistoric period sites recorded on this project are all small lithic sites of unknown age and identified in highly disturbed soils the answer is no with the notable exceptions of 31AV89, 31AV90, and 31AV96. These are all located in the uplands, an area commonly impacted by natural erosion processes. The rock shelters recorded at 31AV89 and 31AV90 both have the potential for presenting information on the regions prehistoric past. Jane Brown and Anne Rogers have reported Early Archaic habitation at the McKinney rockshelter site (31AV60). Site 31AV96 may also yield information on the regions uplands. For most historic-period archaeological sites, the most relevant criterion is also "D", and we must ask whether these historic sites have the potential to produce significant information and new insights on the region's history. The historic-period sites identified during survey tend 40 to be early-twentieth-century in date (possibly as early as late nineteenth century). These sites are poorly preserved and tend to be too recent to be good subjects for archaeological research. These sites include (31AV91** and 31AV93**). The overgrown grave site (31AV98**) is identified by an uninscribed fieldstone marker. To judge from the ground in the vicinity this is a single burial. The burial does not appear to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, in our opinion, but the burial is protected by the state's laws protecting abandoned and unmarked human burials. RECOMMENDATIONS We do not recommend additional archaeological studies of the prehistoric sites at 31AV92, 31AV94, 31AV95, 31AV97, 31AV99, and 31AV100. We do not recommend additional archaeological studies of the historic sites at 31AV91 **, 31AV93**, 31AV95** or the abandoned gravesite at 31AV98**. The gravesite is protected by state laws on human burials, however. We recommend Phase II testing at 31AV89, 31AV90, and 31AV96. The tests at 31AV89 and MAV90 should include a minimum of two one-meter test excavations. And 31AV96 should include ,a minimum of three one-meter test excavations. Testing at these sites is greatly limited 'by the natural geology of the site area in the form of large stone boulders and outcrops. 41 References Cited Arthur, John Preston 1915 A history of Watauga County, North Carolina.

Based on my initial review, additional information will be needed before I can proceed with review of 401 Water Quality Certification application. I have been in touch with Mr, Len Rindner, PWS, Environmental Planning Consultant, and requested that he submit large scale drawings indicating where the stream and wetland impacts will be. Until this information is received your application is being placed on hold for our processing, due the incomplete information. The small maps submitted with the application are not adequate to review a project of this size; therefore, the need for larger scale maps. By copy of this letter we are advising the Corps of Engineers of your project status. Your processing time will begin once we receive this additional information.

After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3289 and 3287. These certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 39 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 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). 2. An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan as proposed in the application shall be submitted for written approval to this Office in 60 days of the issuance of this Certification. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. Extended Detention Wetland facilities or bioretention areas must be designed to treat the runoff from the clubhouse and maintenance building areas, and pocket wetlands or bioretention areas for the greens unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent building (other than the existing cabin) is occupied at the subject _site, the facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be constructed and operational, and R?'.'?Df Division of Water Quality 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 Wetlands/401 Unit: (919) 733-1786 Fax: (919) 733-6893 LEONARD S.

Raleigh, NC 27604 = Re: DWQ# 010429 + 800 Acres Diamond Creek Golf Course and Residential Community, Request for Nationwide Permit #39 and NWP #14, Avery County, North Carolina Dear Todd: Based on additional discussions with you, yesterday and this morning, the developer will reduce the impacts from 225 If to 145 linear feet at the impact labeled "A" on the attached map. The golf course architect believes that although the reduction is possible, it may compromise the success of the golf course on the 418 fairway. Therefore we may need to modify the permit in the future through a re-application for permits and mitigation. Because the area is within a complicated zone of the golf course, we will not know if the additional impact is necessary until the play of the golf course can be evaluated on the ground. If impacts exceed the 150 linear foot threshold we understand that mitigation will be required for the entire stream impact. There are many opportunities for mitigation on this site through the daylighting of existing piped stream channels. We hope that this additional information is adequate for you to recommend approval of the 401 Water Quality Certification. The developer has understood from the beginning the sensitivity of the trout waters and natural habitats in the area. We have worked closely and in good faith with all the natural resource agencies in developing a plan that significantly avoids and minimizes impacts to streams and wetlands. The McNeely's are also considering placing Hanging Rock Mountain in a conservation easement and have been discussing this with the USFWS and the NCWRC and other interested parties. The timing of your approval is very important. Being in the mountains and in trout waters areas it is important for construction to be accomplished before the spawning season begins. We would appreciated your consideration regarding this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation.

Field Office 151 Patton Avenue - Room 208 Asheville, NC 28801 - 5006 Re: + 800 Acres Diamond Creek Golf Course and Residential Community, Requgst for Nationwide Permit #39 and NWP #14, Avery County, North Carolina Dear David: It appears that we are close to receiving the 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Division of Water Quality. The NCDWQ included the bottomless culverts as impacts in their calculations. Therefore there will be a difference in the total permitted impacts between the USACE and the NCDWQ. The attachments depict the results of changes made to the plans as the result of discussions with the NCDWQ regarding the site plan since the submittal on 5/21/01. Impacts to streams and wetland have been further reduced to the following: USACE IMPACTS SUMMARY OFIMPACTS NWP #14 (1 Crossing) Int/Perennial tributaries (5' wide X 150` length) + 0.015 ac. NWP #39 Int/Perennial tributaries (+ 290 ID + 0.030 ac. Wetlands + 0.090 ac. Pond + 0.100 ac. Total - NWP #14 and NWP#39 + 0.24ac. The total length of stream impacts is less than 300 If. Nationwide 13 for bank stabilization may be required on the streambanks below the proposed bottomless culverts. Maximum linear footage of stabilization is 490 linear feet for 245 linear feet of stream spanned by bottomless culvert). NCDWQ IMPACTS SUMMARY OFIMPACTS NWP #14 (1 Crossing) Int/Perennial tributaries (150` length) + 0.015 ac. NWP #39 Int/Perennial tributaries (+ 535 If) + 0.060 ac. (includes all bottomless culverts) Wetlands + 0.090 ac. Pond + 0.100 ac. Total - NWP #14 and NWP#39 + 0.27 ac. SUMMARY OF Waters of the U.S. Surface Waters Perennial and Perennial tributaries (+ 15,3001f) + 2.25 acres Wetlands + 2.45 acres Ponds + 2.70 acres Approximate Total - Waters of the U.S. + 7.40 acres SUMMARY OF IMPACTS - Orieinal Proposal NWP #14 (1 Crossing) Int/Perennial tributaries (±1501f length) + 0.015 ac. NWP #39 Intermittent tributaries (+ 300 If) + 0.030 ac. Wetlands + 0.160 ac. Pond + 0.100 ac. Total - NWP #14 and NWP#39 + 0.318c. Approximately 96 % of Waters of the U.S. In the project area are preserved The following revisions and modifications were made: 1) # 17 and #16 Area - Wetland impacts are now completely avoided. The bottomless culvert has been reduced from approximately 200 If to only 85 linear feet. The proposed impacted stream impact near the #16 green was reduced from 145 linear feet to only 60 linear feet. The 85 linear reduction here is proposed to be utilized on hole #15. 2) An 85 linear foot culvert impact is proposed before the #15 green. The channel crossing at #15 was originally proposed to be a bottomless culvert. This was the very dry "marginal' intermittent channel. 3) The channel crossing at #18 has been changed to have to 145-1f stream impact. The proposed 80 linear foot long bottomless culvert has been removed. 4) The bottomless culvert crossing near #7 green has been reduced from 85 linear feet to 60 linear feet. Overall, the bottomless culvert crossings have been reduced to 245 linear feet. The longest bottomless crossing is 100 linear feet that will span a trout stream. The plan has been modified to preserve the headwater wetlands near the #16 green and #17 tee. This particular modification should especially please the NCWRC and the USFWS. Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation A great effort has been made during the planning process to develop a plan that avoids impacts to over 96% of the streams on the project. The plan also avoids impacts completely to the perennial trout water streams. Overall, the plan avoids over 96% of all the jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including an approximate 2-acre boulder field/spring seep habitat. The proposed development takes full advantage of previously disturbed areas of the site. The plan also shows that the headwaters of a deeply shaded and nearly pristine riparian habitat along a trout water stream dominated by birch, hemlock and rhododendron has been preserved. During the planning process site reviews and discussions were held with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, and representatives of Avery County, During the construction process, the developer will impose strict guidelines and requirements to prevent impacts to sensitive natural habitats and archaeological sites. The developer also proposes to work closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission and the NC Natural Heritage Program to develop guidelines to avoid impacts to the documented sensitive habitats associated with Hanging Rock Mountain. Proposed Compensatory Mitigation A mitigation plan is proposed for a "no net loss" of wetland, stream, and surFace water habitat, value, and function to the extent feasible on this site. The goal of this plan is to preserve, protect and the extents of the existing wetlands and streams to be saved through enhancement by the use of protective buffers. Existing wetlands and streams to be preserved will be protected and enhanced with at least the minimum 25' required buffer however as depicted on the plans, this will be substantially exceeded for most of the project. An existing pond will be expanded to mitigate for lost open water. An additional pond near the clubhouse will be constructed for irrigation, as an amenity, and for stormwater management associated with the clubhouse and parking. Pocket wetlands and biofilters will be developed within the golf course to prevent direct discharge of stormwater into the streams and to filter and absorb nutrients and other pollutants. A stormwater management facility is also proposed for the grounds and golf course maintenance facility. Best Management Practices will 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 important vegetation 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. 0 Wetlands 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. 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. h) 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.

John and Sharon McNeely have demanded from the beginning that their project have no adverse impact on sensitive environments. As you know, we have worked diligently and in good faith with all the regulatory agencies to blend our development objectives with protection of sensitive natural resources and cultural resources. We have had enormously positive responses to our project from the USFWS, NCWRC. The McNeely's are also considering a conservation easement for Hanging Rock Mountain. We believe that we have indicated that we will protect potentially important cultural resources in an appropriate manner, and are willing to work with the State Historic Preservation Office. None of the determined potentially eligible for the National Historic Register will be directly impacted by any construction activity. In order to build the project in an efficient and sensitive manner, the best time for construction is late spring and summer. We intend to fully protect the streams and wetlands from construction impacts and are aware that all permitted impacts to streams and wetlands must be complete before the trout-spawning season. Therefore, we are requesting issuance of the requested Nationwide Permits as soon as possible. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation.

The attached proposal has been corrected. We apologize for the confusion. My client, Mr. and Mrs. John McNeely, of Diamond Creek, LLC, are proposing to avoid the potentially important rock shelter areas as shown on the plan within an approximate 4 acre deed restricted protected area. The owners will take reasonable and practical steps through appropriate and sufficient means to protect this and other sensitive areas on the site. These steps could include fencing that will blend in with the existing natural environment; deed restrictions; placement of creation of obstacles to foot traffic; appropriate additional planting to further block views and inhibit access. The owner is willing to work with the State Historic Preservation Office in developing these or other appropriate measures for this site. We look forward to meeting with you, hopefully at the site.

The slope is heavily wooded and virtually 100% looking down from the existing dirt road. Constructing an entry road for trucks and equipment could also attract more attention to the shelters than just leaving them alone and unidentified. We have also requested that the natural resource agencies respond to you with their concerns. Bringing in machinery will affect both the vegetation and wildlife habitat to a considerable degree. According to Dr. Randy Forsythe, a hydrologist and geologist who works with us, and a professor at UNC-Charlotte, filling the shelters will greatly affect the current microclimate. This is a north-facing slope with dense shade. A rock filled shelter will accumulate more ice and runoff will be delayed. As such, the overhanging rock will be more strongly affected by the freeze-thaw action of water. This will cause the shelter roofs to break down quicker, destroying the shelter quicker than has been in the past. Well-meant protection could result in inadvertent and enhanced destruction. Diamond Creek will be a gated and secured community. The number of lots is expected to only 35 to 40 large estate lots. The developer/owner of this site is willing to work with the State Historic Preservation Office on reasonable and appropriate measures to protect this area for this site. This can include unobtrusive fencing that can be installed around the shelters without machinery; deed restrictions; placement or creation of obstacles to foot traffic; appropriate additional planting to further block views and inhibit access. If desired, an educational program will be developed for the residents within this area. We look forward to meeting with you, hopefully at the site.

Ross, Jr., Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Kerr T. Stevens Division of Water Quality May 23, 2001 Memorandum To: John Dorney From: Todd St. John ' Subject: Diamond Creek G4om unity Avery County DWQ# 010429 I have reviewed the revised submittal dated May 21, 2001 for this project. According to the final revised plans dated May 18, 2001 and Len Rindner's letter dated May 25, 2001, total impacts are 685 feet of stream, 0.7 acres of wetland and 0.1 acres of pond. 245 feet of the impacts are from open bottom culverts and 440 feet of regular culverts. The 18th fairway crossing has been reduced to 145 feet; however, it is possible that the applicant may request to expand the impact to 225 feet in the future. This is the only area that mitigation would be required even though it is an intermittent stream because it is in Trout Waters. I spoke to Len Rindner this morning and he said that the applicant is not anticipating that the impact will exceed 145 feet at this time. However, if they had to apply for a modification in the future the applicant is willing to daylight at least that amount of existing culverted stream on the site as mitigation. I do not anticipate any stormwater requirements for this site other than for the clubhouse and greens. Bioretention areas and/or pocket wetlands are proposed for the greens, etc. Additionally, the applicant proposed an unspecified stormwater management facility for the clubhouse. As such, I recommend issuing the 401 WQC with stormwater management for the clubhouse. As usual the applicant is in a rush to begin construction. Considering the overall project impacts and concessions made, I recommend that we issue the 401 WQC with the following language to accommodate their construction needs and insure the proposed stormwater and stream restoration is conducted. For the stormwater management: An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan as proposed in the application shall be to this Office in 60 days of the issuance of this Certification. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. Extended Detention Wetland facilities or bioretention areas must be designed to treat the runoff from the clubhouse and maintenance building areas, and pocket wetlands or bioretention areas for the greens unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent building (other than the existing cabin) is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved by this Office) shall be implemented. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. If the applicant determines that it will be necessary to expand the impact at the 18th fairway crossing beyond 150 feet in the future and we decide to approve it, I recommend the following language for the stream daylighting: Plans for the 255 feet of stream channel mitigation by daylighting shall be submitted for approval in writing by this Office within 60 days of the issuance of this Certification. It is recommended that The Internal Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, April 2001 be used as a guide to the types of design parameters that must be addressed in order to obtain plan approval. The stream mitigation shall be conducted according to the approved plans before any permanent building (other than the existing cabin) on the site is occupied. If the daylighted streams become unstable, the streams shall be repaired or stabilized using only natural channel design techniques. Rip rap and other hard structures may only be used as temporary repairs if required by the Division of Land Resources or Delegated Local Program. Additionally, all repair designs must be submitted to and receive written approval from this Office before the repair work is performed. The 225 foot portion of the relocated stream used as compensatory mitigation for stream impacts shall be preserved in perpetuity through an easement or some other legally binding mechanism. The above easement or other legally binding mechanism must be in place before any permanent building associated with the project is occupied.

The golf course architect believes that although the reduction is possible, it may compromise the success of the golf course on the 418 fairway. Therefore we may need to modify the permit in the future through a re-application for permits and mitigation. Because the area is within a complicated zone of the golf course, we will not know if the additional impact is necessary until the play of the golf course can be evaluated on the ground. If impacts exceed the 150 linear foot threshold we understand that mitigation will be required for the entire stream impact. There are many opportunities for mitigation on this site through the daylighting of existing piped stream channels. We hope that this additional information is adequate for you to recommend approval of the 401 Water Quality Certification. The developer has understood from the beginning the sensitivity of the trout waters and natural habitats in the area. We have worked closely and in good faith with all the natural resource agencies in developing a plan that significantly avoids and minimizes impacts to streams and wetlands. The McNeely's are also considering placing Hanging Rock Mountain in a conservation easement and have been discussing this with the USFWS and the NCWRC and other interested parties. The timing of your approval is very important. Being in the mountains and in trout waters areas it is important for construction to be accomplished before the spawning season begins. We would appreciated your consideration regarding this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your consideratiyrR s .'

Averv Countv. North Carolina Dear Sirs: On behalf of my client, John and Sharon McNeely, I have attached a plan indicating the revisions to the plan based on our meeting to reduce impacts to streams and wetlands. The following locations were revised: 1) # 17 and #16 Area - Wetland impacts are now completely avoided. The bottomless culvert has been reduced from approximately 200 if to only 85 linear feet. The proposed impacted stream impact near the #16 green was reduced from 145 linear feet to only 60 linear feet. The 85 linear reduction here is proposed to be utilized on hole #15. 2) An 85 linear foot culvert impact is proposed before the #15 green. The channel crossing at #15 was originally proposed to be a bottomless culvert. This was the very dry"marginal' intermittent channel. 3) The channel crossing at #18 has been changed to have to 40 linear foot sections of bottomless culvert on each side of the proposed 145-If stream impact instead of one 80 linear foot long bottomless culvert. 4) The bottomless culvert crossing near #7 green has been reduced from 85 linear feet to 60 linear feet. Overall, the bottomless culvert crossings have been reduced from 365 linear feet to 225 linear feet. The longest bottomless crossing is 85 linear feet reduced from 200 linear feet. The plan has been modified to preserve the headwater wetlands near the #16 green and #17 tee. This particular modification should especially please the NCWRC and the USFWS. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your consideration. H U Q C7 CL Z W W -- ' !

Avery County, North Carolina Dear David: The following attachments depict the results of changes made to the plans as the result of discussions with the NCDWQ, NCWRC, and USFWS, regarding the site plan. Impacts to streams and wetland have been further reduced to the following: SUMMARY F Waters of the U.S. Surface Waters Perennial and Perennial tributaries (+ 15,300 if ) Wetlands Ponds Approximate Total - Waters of the U.S. SUMMARY OFIMPA?TS NWT #14 (1 Crossing) Int/Perennial tributaries (+1501f length/3' wide) NWP #39 Intermittent tributaries (+ 29010 Wetlands Pond + 2.25 acres + 2.45 acres + 2.70 acres ± 7.40 acres + 0.015 ac. + 0.030 ac. + 0.090 ac. + 0.100 ac.

Approximately 96 % of Waters of the U.& in the project area are preserved The following revisions and modifications were made: 1) # 17 and #16 Area - Wetland impacts are now completely avoided. The bottomless culvert has been reduced from approximately 200 If to only 85 linear feet. The proposed impacted stream impact near the 916 green was reduced from 145 linear feet to only 60 linear feet, The 85 linear reduction here is proposed to be utilized on hole #15. 2) An 85 linear foot culvert impact is proposed before the #15 green. The channel crossing at #15 was originally proposed to be a bottomless culvert. This was the very dry`marginal" intermittent channel. 3) The channel crossing at #18 has been changed to have to 40 linear foot sections of bottomless culvert on each side of the proposed 145-1f stream impact instead of one 80 linear foot long bottomless culvert. 4) The bottomless culvert crossing near #7 green has been reduced from 85 linear feet to 60 linear feet. Overall, the bottomless culvert crossings have been reduced from 365 linear feet to 225 linear feet. The longest bottomless crossing is 85 linear feet reduced from 200 linear feet. The plan has been modified to preserve the headwater wetlands near the #16 green and #17 tee. This particular modification should especially please the NCWRC and the USFWS. Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation A great effort has been made during the planning process to develop a plan that avoids impacts to over 96% of the streams on the project. The plan also avoids impacts completely to the perennial trout water streams. Overall, the plan avoids over 96% of all the jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including an approximate 2-acre boulder field/spring seep habitat. The proposed development takes full advantage of previously disturbed areas of the site. The plan also shows that the headwaters of a deeply shaded and nearly pristine riparian habitat along a trout water stream dominated by birch, hemlock and rhododendron has been preserved. During the planning process site reviews and discussions were held with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, and representatives of Avery County. During the construction process, the developer will impose strict guidelines and requirements to prevent impacts to sensitive natural habitats and archaeological sites. The developer also proposes to work closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission and the NC Natural Heritage program to develop guidelines to avoid impacts to the documented sensitive habitats associated with Hanging Rock Mountain. Proposed Compensatory Mitigation A mitigation plan is proposed for a "no net loss" of wetland, stream, and surface water habitat, value, and function to the extent feasible on this site. The goal of this plan is to preserve, protect and the extents of the existing wetlands and streams to be saved through enhancement by the use of protective buffers. Existing wetlands and streams to be preserved will be protected and enhanced with at least the minimum 25' required buffer however as depicted on the plans, this will be substantially exceeded for most of the project. An existing pond will be expanded to mitigate for lost open water. An additional pond near the clubhouse will be constructed for irrigation, as an amenity, and for stormwater management associated with the clubhouse and parking. Pocket wetlands and biotllters will be developed within the golf course to prevent direct discharge of stormwater into the streams and to filter and absorb nutrients and other pollutants. A stormwater management facility is also proposed for the grounds and golf course maintenance facility. Best Management Practices will 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 important vegetation 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. t) Wetlands 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. 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. h) 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. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your consideration. Leonard S.

North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission 0 Charles R.FullwOOd, FACCUtIVC Director MEMORANDUM TO: John Dorney, DWQ 401 Certification Section Steve Chapin, Permit Coordinator O tJ (,{ Asheville Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator,.,, Habitat Conservation Program DATE: May 1, 2001 SUBJECT: Review of an Application by Diamond Creek Residential and Golf Community, unnamed tributaries to Horse Bottom Creek, Avery County The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain 404 Nationwide Permits (NWP) 14 and 39 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and associated 401 Certifications for road and fairway crossings. Ms. Nora Murdock (USFWS), Mr. Chris McGrath, and I conducted a site visit on April 25, 2001. Less than 0.33 acres of wetlands will be impacted during construction. Minor stream impacts are anticipated. The applicant's consultant has indicated that wooded areas will not be disturbed, that trout water buffers will be protected, and that the upper elevations of the project (Hanging Rock and Four Diamond Ridge) will be placed in permanent conservation easements. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are 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). During our visit, it became apparent that the owners, John and Sharon McNeely, and their consultants, Leonard Rindner and Jim Matthews, had minimized impacts to the site considerably. Some minor reductions may still be possible as the project moves forward. Resource agency personnel should commend such astute stewardship ethics and practices. The visiting agencies expressed concern that secondary and cumulative impacts could occur to listed species due to construction and development. We Mailing Address: DIN, Isioil o1 Ii laud Fislieries • 1721 Mail ScrN ice Ccntcr • KaIcigll, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 1 Fax: (919) 715-7643 Diamond Creek GC 2 05/01/01 encouraged the owners to protect the area by setting aside biologically important areas in conservation easements. Mr. Chris McGrath with the NCWRC indicated that he did not envision any direct impacts to listed species such as Alleghany woodrats, wellers salamander, northern flying squirrels, rock voles, water shrews and others, as their habitat is located at higher elevations than the proposed development. He indicated that protection from secondary and cumulative impacts should be provided using conservation easements for the higher elevations. Ms. Nora Murdock of the US Fish and Wildlife Service has provided the following pertinent information: The mountain area involved has four federally listed endangered and threatened plants on the site, and a fifth plant that is under consideration for federal listing. They are the Roan Mountain bluet (Hedyotis purpurea var. montana) - Endangered, spreading avens (Geum radiatum) - Endangered, Heller's blazing star (Liatris helleri) - Threatened, Blue Ridge goldenrod (Solidago spithamaea) - Threatened, and Gray's lily (Lilium grayi) - under consideration for listing. This plant will probably be elevated to candidate status this year. To our knowledge, there have never been any systematic surveys of the entire property for plants and animals; the above species are just the ones that we know about from cursory surveys done before the property came into the hands of the present owners. Based upon the recent find of a northern flying squirrel at 4,000 feet elevation on Grandfather Mountain, there's a chance that they could be found on the Four Diamond property. It wouldn't hurt to put up some nest boxes, or do some trapping for the squirrel. Other species of federal concern that could be found are on the Heritage Program list; however, the most likely include the Alleghany woodrat, possibly saw whet owl, southern rock vole, possibly the Southern Appalachian yellow-bellied sapsucker, and Appalachian cottontail. I didn't see anything yesterday that looked like good bog turtle habitat. Two more plant species of federal concern may also show up with further surveys. They are the mountain bittercress (Cardamine clematitis) and Carolina saxifrage (Saxifraga caroliniana). This is one of only three remaining sites in the world for Blue Ridge goldenrod. The other three federally listed species are known from less than a dozen populations each. This is an extraordinarily significant piece of property, biologically. The presence of the four-federally-listed species places it among the highest priority sites in the State for protection. This site has national significance as well. The FWS have been attempting to work with three separate landowners to protect the most significant parts of the site for the past 20 years. The current landowners are to be applauded for their stated intention to set aside the habitat for the federally listed species, as well as much of the more significant lower-elevation areas. A conservation easement or other form of permanent protection for the cliffs where the federally listed plants are present would be ideal. Protecting the area and the listed plant species from trespassers may be difficult. But helpful possibilities with state and national land trust are worth consideration. Land conservancies can provide for limited number of guided hikes, with a small number of people allowed so that damage from foot-traffic can be controlled. Conservancies can also help limit access to the top of the mountain and the most sensitive vegetation as well as help provide alternative places for people to enjoy the view. Diamond Creek GC 3 05101101 Concerning the 404Permit and 401 Certification, based on the information provided by the applicant and our information on the range of trout in the project area, we do not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters supporting trout providing the following conditions are implemented: 1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during construction. 2. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained until project completion. 3. Pipe culverts or pipes should be installed into the streambed (approximately one foot into the substrate whenever possible) to maintain aquatic life passage. No damming or freefalling of water should occur during low flow conditions. The upstream and downstream channel dimensions should not be modified. Native vegetative species and materials should be used for streambank stabilization. 4. If any concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments on the 404 Permit or 401 Certification, please contact me at 336/769-9453.
