DWQ # 01 0746 / I
Guilford County
Dear Applicant:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill
material into approximately 300 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Deep River, Class
WS-IV waters, Cape Fear River Basin, and 0.041 acres of wetland for the purpose of road
crossings. Insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be
built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0506.
Therefore, unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to
move toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0507(e) and will
place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. We are
requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers place your project
on administrative hold.
A. Section 401 Water Quality Certification
(1) Additional information regarding the road crossings is necessary for our
review. Please submit detailed plans for each crossing. The details (both plan
view and profile) must include culvert size and length, headwalls, endwalls,
and rip-rap and the linear footage of stream impact or wetland impact
associated with each. In addition, please provide this office with evidence that
the design and placement of the culverts and associated structures will be
conducted in such a manner that they will not result in a dis-equilibrium of the
stream bed and banks, adjacent to and upstream and downstream of the
crossings.
Triangle Lake Road Extension
Page 2
(2) Your application states that the stream impacts for two of the proposed
crossings equal 150 LF, respectively, and that the Division does not require
stream mitigation for impacts less than or equal to 150 linear feet. This is
incorrect. Compensatory mitigation is required for stream impacts equal to or
greater than 150 linear feet. Your mitigation proposal is insufficient since none
was proposed.
(3) If it is determined through a DWQ site visit that the road crossings are
proposed to occur on the same tributary, the impacts of both crossings will be
considered cumulative and mitigation would be required if the sum impact of
both crossings was equal to or greater than 150 LF.
(4) Will there be associated (direct or indirect) development of the adjoining
properties as a result of this road collector? Please explain if construction of
this road will provide the only access for the adjoining properties, such that,
development of those lots could not occur without this road. If this is not the
case, submit documentation that adjoining lot developments are not directly or
indirectly associated with your proposed project.
B. Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed
(1) Your plan shows an impact to Zone 2 of the Randleman Lake Water Supply
Watershed Riparian Area. It appears that this is an activity that would require
a minor variance. Your application included a letter from CPT Engineering
and Surveying, Inc., which states that the City of High Point Technical Review
Committee and the Watershed Review Committee have approved this plan.
Please submit any documentation from the City of High Point regarding this
matter.
(2) Please submit detailed plans, preferably at a scale larger that 1:300, showing
the location of the road with respect to all protected riparian areas, Zone 1 and
Zone 2, streams and wetlands. Show the extent of all fill slopes and any
proposed re-vegetation plans for any disturbance of Zone 2.

RE: Nationwide Permit14 /401 Water Quality Certification/Buffer Compliance
Request
Triangle Lake Road Extension
High Point, Guilford County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 01-6063
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Thomas:
On behalf of Carroll Investment Properties (property owner), we hereby request
authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 14 to
cover permanent impacts to two stream channels and a wetland resulting from the J
construction of a thoroughfare road. We also request written concurrence from the NC r
Division of Water Quality (NC-DWQ) that the project complies with the 401 Water rC-
Quality Certification associated with Nationwide Permit 14 and Randleman Water ; ,-1
Supply riparian buffer rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is c
attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
The proposed project consists of construction of a minor thoroughfare road (Triangle
Lake Road Extension). The proposed Triangle Lake Road Extension begins at Kivett
Drive and runs approximately 3300 feet north to the proposed point of connection with
Sherrill Street. Please refer to the attached map (Figure 1) for the location of the
proposed road on a USGS topographic quadrangle.
The wetlands and jurisdictional waters within the proposed road extension corridor were
delineated by another consultant. The Randleman Lake Watershed riparian buffers
shown on the attached impact map were identified by CPT Engineering and Surveying,
Inc., as per the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) approved High Point
Development Ordinance.

The proposed Triangle Lake Road Extension will impact two unnamed tributaries of the
Deep River (see attached impact map). Road crossing 1 will impact 150 linear feet of
stream channel approximately 3 feet in width and an adjacent wetland, resulting in 0.041
acre (1783 square feet) of wetland and stream channel impacts. Road crossing 2 will
impact 150 linear feet of stream channel approximately 5 feet in width (746 square feet,
0.02 acre). Both tributaries are subject to the Randleman Lake Watershed riparian
buffers. Approximately 13,532 square feet of riparian buffer will be impacted by road
crossing 1, and approximately 17,028 square feet of riparian buffer will be impacted by
road crossing 2. In addition, Triangle Lake Road Extension will impact 91 square feet of
Zone 2 of the riparian buffer (see "Impact 3" on attached impact map). Please note that
0.021 acre (927 square feet) of wetland was previously impacted within the proposed
Triangle Lake Road Extension corridor under Non-reporting Nationwide Permit 39 (see
attached impact map).
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the thresholds for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge causes the loss of any
open waters. It is important to note that portions of the alignment and the connection
points of Triangle Lake Road Extension to the existing Triangle Lake Road (to the south)
and Sherrill Street (to the north) are generally fixed based on their presence on the City of
High Point's thoroughfare plan (see City of High Point Thoroughfare Plan document,
attached). The applicant requested a detailed delineation of wetlands present on property
prior to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional wetlands to the maximum
extent practical. However, two unnamed tributaries of the Deep River separate Triangle
Lake Road and Sherrill Street, making it necessary to impact these stream channels with
road crossings to construct Triangle Lake Road according to the thoroughfare plan. The
applicant has attempted to cross streams as close to 90 degrees as possible, and has met
with the City of High Point on numerous occasions in an effort to arrive at road design
specifications that will minimize road crossing impacts (see CPT Engineering letter,
attached). The total cumulative impacts of this project to wetlands and waters of the U. S.
(including previous impacts to 0.021 acre of wetland) total 0.062 acre of wetland and 300
linear feet of stream channel. For the reasons listed above and because the total impacts
to wetlands and stream channels (0.082 acre) are below the notification threshold, S&EC
does not believe further compensatory mitigation should be required for this project.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require stream channel or wetland mitigation for
wetland impacts below 1 acre and stream channel impacts less than or equal to 150 linear
feet per tributary. Because the cumulative impacts to wetlands, excluding stream channel
impacts, (0.062 acre) are below the aforementioned threshold and neither of the proposed
road crossings exceed 150 linear feet of stream channel impact, S&EC believes that
wetland and stream channel mitigation should not be required by DWQ.
As discussed above, the applicant has attempted to cross stream channels as close to 90
degrees as possible given that the proposed road's connection points were predetermined
May 17, 2001
S&EC Project #: 01-6063
Page 3
and a minimum road curve radius was specified by the City of High Point (see CPT
Engineering letter of justification, attached). Road crossing 1 will impact 13,532 sq. ft.
(0.311) acre of riparian buffer and 150 linear feet of stream channel. Road crossing 2
will impact 17,028 square feet (0.391 acre) of riparian buffer and 150 linear feet of
stream channel. As discussed in the attached CPT Engineering letter of justification, the
applicant has been unable to avoid 91 square feet of non-perpendicular impact to Zone 2
of the riparian buffer south of the connection point with Sherrill Street. The applicant has
met with the City of High Point on numerous occasions to agree upon the proposed,
reduced centerline radius of Triangle Lake Road Extension, which has greatly reduced
the original design's impacts to streams and riparian buffers (see CPT Engineering letter
of justification, attached). Moving the road surface beyond Zone 2 of the buffers will
require reducing the curve radius of the road below the allowable limits. The City of
High Point will not allow further reduction of the radius, due to motorist safety concerns.

Brad Suther

Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Pei-m app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlaiids to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at (919) 733-1786.
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at (919) 733-2293. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.anny.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg.pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.htrnl. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant reauested a detailed wetland delineation of wetlands prior to site plan
development in order to avoid jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the U.S. to the maximum
Page 7 of 12
extent practical It is important to note that portions of the alignment and the connection points
of Triangle Lake Road Extension to Triangle Lake Road (to the south) and Sherrill Street (to the
north are generally fixed based on their presence on the City of High Point's thoroughfare plan.
Two unnamed tributaries to the Deep River and a wetland adjacent to one of these channels
separate Triangle Lake Road and Sherrill Street, making it necessary to impact these areas with
road crossings in order to construct the extension according to the thoroughfare The
applicant has attempted to cross streams as close to 90 degrees as possible, and has met with the
City of High Point on numerous occasions in an effort to arrive at road design specifications that
minimize road crossing impacts. In fact the centerline radius of the proposed road has been
reduced substantially from the radius of the original design in order to minimize impacts to
stream channels and riparian buffers. Please refer to the CPT Engineering letter of justification
(attached) for further explanation of alignment constraints that necessitate impacts to
jurisdictional areas
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httl2://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlaiids/strm,gide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
Page 8 of 12
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at littp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/w!p/index.htm If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

Re: Triangle Lake Road Extension Alignment Justification
Dear Kevin:
i am writing this letter to explain and justify the alignment for the proposed Triangle Lake Road
Extension. This road was required by the City of High Point Transportation Department to
provide a north-south connector from Kivett Drive to Dillon Road. This road is to align with the
existing Triangle Lake Road and Kivett Drive intersection and run north to align with Sherrill
Street. Sherrill Street is to be improved to a 3 lane cross-section and the intersection with Dillon
Road is to be reworked to allow the Triangle Lake Road Extension to be the through street with
?Dillon Road to the north and to create a stop condition with Dillon Road to the West. These road
improvements were required to improve traffic conditions for the general public and improve the
ninety degree turn on Dillon Road where there have been numerous accidents. This is a
requirement of the zoning conditions and the Triangle Lake Road Extension is shown on the
official City of High Point Thoroughfare Plan adopted by the City of High Point City Council in
May 1989 as a minor thoroughfare.
The original design of Triangle Lake Road Extension called for the road to be designed using the
design guidelines for a minor thoroughfare. These guidelines call for a minimum of a 955 feet
centerline radius. The original design resulted in approximately 1,200 feet of stream and buffer
impacts. After numerous meetings with the City of High Point Transportation and Engineering
,epartments, it was decided that the road was to be designed using the design criteria of a minor
thoroughfare and the minimum radius requirements of a collector street. The minimum
centerline radius of a collector street is 765 feet. Using this design criteria and meeting the
original planimetric requirements to connect Dillon Road with Triangle Lake Drive resulted in
unacceptable stream and buffer impacts. It was finally concluded that a 550 foot minimum
radius would be acceptable. This is the absolute smallest radius that could be used without
endangering the motorist.
As a result of these meetings and design changes we have developed an alignment that meets the
trarsportation requirements of the public with the least impacts on the existing streams and
stream buffers. The small buffer impact just south of Sherrill Street is a result of the minimum
radius requirement and cannot be eliminated without reducing the radius. We also have

attempted to cross the existing streams as close to ninety degrees as possible. Again, minimum
radius requirements have required the stream crossings to be slightly less than ninety degrees.
'n conclusion, this plan has been studied and revised numerous times and an alignment has been
developed that,meets the traffic needs for the City of High Point with a minimum of impacts to
the existing streams. The plan has been approved by the High Point Technical Review
Committee and the Watershed Review Committee as required in Chapter 7, Environmental
Regulations - Watershed Protection Overlay Districts, of the High Point Zoning Ordinance. This
chapter has been approved by the State and incorporates the Randleman Lake stream buffer
requirements. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 336-834-8229.

built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506.
Therefore, unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to
move toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e) and will
place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. We are
requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers place your project
on administrative hold.

(1) Additional information regarding the road crossings is necessary for our
review. Please submit detailed plans for each crossing. The details (both plan
view and profile) must include culvert size and length, headwalls, endwalls,
and rip-rap and the linear footage of stream impact or wetland impact
associated with each. In addition, please provide this office with evidence that
the design and placement of the culverts and associated structures will be
conducted in such a manner that they will not result in a dis-equilibrium of the
stream bed and banks, adjacent to and upstream and downstream of the
crossings.

(2) Your application states that the stream impacts for two of the proposed
crossings equal 150 LF, respectively, and that the Division does not require
stream mitigation for impacts less than or equal to 150 linear feet. This is
incorrect. Compensatory mitigation is required for stream impacts equal to or
«reater than 150 linear feet. Your mitigation proposal is insufficient since none
was proposed.
(3) If it is determined through a DWQ site visit that the road crossings are
proposed to occur on the same tributary, the impacts of both crossings will be
considered cumulative and mitigation would be required if the sum impact of
both crossings was equal to or greater than 150 LF.
(4) Will there be associated (direct or indirect) development of the adjoining
properties as a result of this road collector? Please explain if construction of
this road will provide the only access for the adjoining properties, such that,
development of those lots could not occur without this road. If this is not the
case, submit documentation that adjoining lot developments are not directly or
indirectly associated with your proposed project.
B. Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed
(1) Your plan shows an impact to Zone 2 of the Randleman Lake Water Supply
Watershed Riparian Area. It appears that this is an activity that would require
a minor variance. Your application included a letter from CPT Engineering
and Surveying, Inc., which states that the City of High Point Technical Review
Committee and the Watershed Review Committee have approved this plan.
Please submit any documentation from the City of High Point regarding this
matter.
(2) Please submit detailed plans, preferably at a scale larger that 1:300, showing
the location of the road with respect to all protected riparian areas, Zone 1 and
Zone 2, streams and wetlands. Show the extent of all fill slopes and any
proposed re-vegetation plans for any disturbance of Zone 2.

(3) Even though road crossings are an allowable activity within the Randleman
Lake Water Supply Watershed, you must demonstrate, as stated in 15A NCAC
02B .0250 (2)(e), that the project shall be (or will be) located, designed,
constructed and maintained to have minimal disturbance, provide maximum
nutrient removal and erosion protection, have the least adverse effects on
aquatic life and habitat, and protect water quality to the maximum extent
practical through the use of best management practices. Please address these
issues in your response.
(4) Please provide documentation regarding the management of the stormwater
from this project. Please keep in mind that diffuse flow must be provided
through the buffer zones and temporary sediment and erosion control measures
cannot be located within Zone 1.
Please respond, in writing, both to this Office and to John Dorney, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 within three weeks of receipt of this letter outlining your
intent to proceed with this project or withdraw your application. If you wish to
proceed, please address the items listed above.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mrs. Jennifer Frye or
me at (336) 771-4600.
