Caldwell ' NC DENR, DWQ Winston -Salem Field Office Attn: Ms. Sue Homewood 585 Waughtown Street Winston - Salem, NC 27107 140976 Subject: City of Greensboro, Ardmore Park Stream Enhancement Project Nationwide Permit 27 and Water Quality Certification #3885 Dear Ms. Homewood: On behalf of the City of Greensboro, Brown and Caldwell is pleased to submit the enclosed Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) and supporting documentation for approval of a Nationwide 27 Permit and associated 401 Water Quality Certification #3885 for aquatic habitat restoration, establishment, and enhancement activities for the City of Greensboro's Ardmore Park Stream Enhancement project. The City proposes to enhance approximately 2,015 linear feet of stream channel within Ardmore Park, including construction of two offline wetlands within the existing stream buffer, to improve water quality and protect existing utility infrastructure. Proposed enhancement activities include the addition of meanders where feasible; incorporating in- stream measures to improve stream stability; and planting native vegetation to improve bank stability and enhance the existing riparian buffer. Much of the channel is currently very unstable and actively eroding, threatening infrastructure and degrading habitat and water quality. Several design constraints, such as existing utilities and narrow property corridors, are associated with this project. The proposed enhancement design works within the confines of the corridor and employs Natural Channel Design methodology to establish a stable, self- maintaining channel with a native vegetation riparian buffer. This project is necessary to address impairment issues; improve channel stability and in- stream habitat; protect adjacent infrastructure; improve safety and aesthetics; and provide educational opportunities for the public. Stream and buffer impacts have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Stream enhancement activities require a permanent change to the stream; however, these impacts are considered self - mitigating. Additionally, Zones 1 and 2 of the Jordan Lake Buffer are proposed to be impacted by two offline wetlands and are considered an acceptable activity, based on pre - application meetings with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE), since these will be allowed to return to their native state without scheduled maintenance. More detailed project information is provided in the attached permit support documentation. Based on the proposed project and guidance from the USACE and NC DWQ, this activity should qualify for a USACE Nationwide 27 Permit and associated Water Quality ardmore agency cover letter_homewood docx Ms. Sue Homewood U.S. Army Corps of Engineers August 14, 2013 Page 2 Certification #3885. On behalf of our client, attached is a completed PCN along with supporting project information for your review and approval.

The approximate 6 -acre site is located within the South Buffalo Creek drainage basin in Guilford County. The Park is linear in shape with a north -south orientation, and is bordered to the north by residential properties, to the east by Belmar Street, to the south by office buildings, and to the west by Swan Street and residential properties (Figure E -1). Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) require that any discharges of dredge or fill material into waters of the U.S. (WOOS), including wetlands, require a permit from the State and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE). Since stream impacts (although self- mitigating), and Jordan Lake Stream Buffer impacts are required for this project, the applicant is required to submit a Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) for approval of a USACE Nationwide Permit 27 and associated N.C. Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) General Water Quality Certification #3885 for aquatic habitat restoration, establishment, and enhancement activities. It should be noted that no known threatened or endangered species or their habitat exist within the project site. Additionally, no known historic structures or archeological features exist within the project site. A detailed wetland delineation was performed by Dramby Environmental Consulting, Inc. (DEC), which was field - verified by the USACE on September 25, 2012. Based on fieldwork conducted by DEC, wetlands are not present onsite; only tributaries were found to exist within the study corridor. Section 2 provides additional information on the wetland delineation and habitat assessment performed on the project site. Based on correspondence with the USACE, the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination will be issued with the Nationwide Permit 27. The design team has attempted to avoid and minimize impacts to streams to the maximum extent practicable while still maintaining the project purpose and need which is to use natural channel design principles to stabilize and enhance the subject streams and to protect adjacent utility infrastructure. The stream enhancement will result in a net increase of 5O linear feet of stream channel. Despite avoidance and minimization efforts, the following impacts to streams and Jordan Lake Riparian Buffers will occur. • 1,676 linear feet of permanent stream channel impacts • 0.03 acres of permanent impacts to unmaintained riparian buffer • 1.19 acres of temporary impacts to unmaintained riparian buffer for stream enhancement construction, equipment staging, and other construction disturbances, and • 0.95 acres of temporary impacts to maintained riparian buffer for stream enhancement construction, equipment staging, and other construction disturbances. Areas of temporary unmaintained riparian buffer impacts will be restored and re- vegetated with native riparian tree and shrub species and seeded with appropriate vegetative seed mix. Areas of temporary maintained riparian buffer impacts will be restored and re- vegetated with an appropriate lawn seed mix similar to the current condition of the Park. Indirect impacts will be minimized through implementation of a State- approved erosion and sediment control plan. Mitigation is not being proposed for this project, as this activity is self- mitigating resulting in an overall increase in stream function and value. Additionally, mitigation is not being proposed for impacts to the Jordan lake Buffer based on proposed activities discussed during a pre-application meeting with NC DWQ.

The project site is situated within the Park, and is generally bounded by South Holden Road to the west, Belmar Street to the east, Immanuel Road to the north, and Interstate 40 (1- 40) to the south. Site access can be obtained utilizing both Hayden and West Florida Streets within the study area, which bisects the unnamed tributary to South Buffalo Creek (Mainstem) in two locations. The project site is located within the Piedmont Physiographic Province, which consists of generally rolling, well - rounded hills and ridges with a few hundred feet of elevation difference between hills and valleys. Elevations in the Piedmont range from 300 feet above sea level to 1,500 feet 1.2 Surrounding Land Use The Park is linear in shape with a north -south orientation, and bordered to the north by residential properties, to the east by Belmar Street, to the south by office buildings, and to the west by Swan Street and residential properties. The usable park area and amenities are located on the east side of the Park property with the Mainstem located west of the usable park area. The Mainstem is split by two road crossings: one at West Florida Street and the second at Hayden Street An unnamed tributary to the Mainstem (Tributary) enters the Mainstem approximately 120 linear feet upstream of the West Florida Street culvert. Both systems are located in a highly developed urban watershed and have severely eroded and incised channels due to frequent storm events with large flow volumes, low times of concentration, minimal stream bank vegetation, and the absence of stormwater control measures (SCMs). The drainage area at the downstream limits of the Park is approximately 290 acres, with approximately 46% impervious cover. The land use of the watershed consists of industrial and commercial development in the upper portion of the drainage area and mixed residential in the lower portions of the drainage area. With the combination of a heavily developed watershed and no SCMs, the Mainstem has become incised and channelized with severe erosion on both banks. Similarly, water quality has been impacted from bank erosion and stream incision that has occurred.

The wetland and stream delineation was completed in May 2012 and followed the USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and technical criteria outlined in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0). Two perennial streams (Mainstem and Tributary) were identified and delineated and no wetlands were found on the project site. The USACE field- verified the wetland delineation on September 25, 2012 and will issue the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination with the Nationwide 27 Permit. An aquatic assessment was also conducted on the Mainstem and Tributary in order to provide baseline biological data of the site. The baseline stream assessment was completed to sample the macroinvertebrate community and perform a stream habitat assessment on July 23, 2012 (Appendix B). The NC DWQ QUAL 4 methodology and the DWQ's Habitat Assessment methodology for streams located in the Mountain /Piedmont physiographic provinces from NC DWQ's Standard Operating Procedures Manual was used for these assessments. The assessments indicated the Mainstem and Tributary are very stressed and rated as "Poor" under NC DWQ protocol standards. The Mainstem and Tributary had primarily extremely tolerant organisms, a low species richness, and low taxa diversity rating. 2.2 Existing Vegetation The forested riparian corridor on the right side of the Mainstem and along both banks of the Tributary is fairly intact A few private residences and part of Swan Street encroach into Riparian Buffer Zones 1 and 2 of this otherwise intact buffer on the right bank. Riparian Buffer Zones 1 and 2 on the left side of the Mainstem are primarily maintained as park and include an existing sanitary sewer main as part of this maintained area. Native vegetation observed on site includes, but is not limited to: • American beech (Fagus grandifolia) • green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) • red maple, (Ater rubrum) • sweet gum (Liquidamber styraciflua) • American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) • yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) • white oak (Quercus alba) • willow oak (Quecus phellos) • river birch (Betula nigra) • American sycamore (Platinus occidentalis) • flowering dogwood (Comus florida) • silky dogwood (Comus ammonium) Brown ,,Caldwell 2 -1 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document P: \Greensboro \140976 - Ardmore Park Stream Restoration \300- Permrttmg\Oi0- 404_401 Permitting \PCN\Ardmore PCN Support Document.docx Section 2 Ardmore Park Stream Enhancement Pre-Construction Notification and Supporting Documentation • eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) • elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) • strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus) • slender woodoats (Chasmanthium laxum) • deer- tongue grass (Dichanthelium clandestinum) • fox sedge (Carex vulpinoide) Exotic and invasive vegetation observed on site include, but are not limited to: • kudzu (Pueraria lobata) oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) • multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) porcelain -berry (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata) • greenbrier (Salix spp.) various turf grass species • olive (Elaeagnus spp.) 2.3 Threatened and Endangered Species A search was conducted for any known state or federal threatened and /or endangered species within the vicinity of the proposed project. This preliminary search was conducted by consulting the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information, Planning and Consultation System (httg:[ /www.fws.gov/ipac /ipac Details.html #list). The results of the database search are included in Appendix C. No known.threatened and /or endangered species or their habitat is known to exist within the project area. 2.4 Cultural and Historic Resources A project review request was submitted to the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources (DCR) in June 2013 to obtain information on potential cultural and historical resources within the project area. Based on a letter received from DCR, pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800, no historic resources exist which would be affected by the project. A copy of the letter is provided in Appendix C. 2.5 FEMA The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for Guilford County dated June 18, 2007 (Community Panel Number 7853, Map Number 3710785300J) was reviewed for 100 -year floodplain locations in relation to the project.

The section of South Buffalo Creek between McConnell Road and US-70 was listed in 1998 for ecological /biological integrity for fish communities. In 2008, the section of South Buffalo Creek between US-70 and the confluence with Buffalo Creek was added for copper and zinc. In the same year, the section of South Buffalo Creek from the source to McConnell Road was listed for ecological /biological integrity for benthos communities. In 2012, the section of South Buffalo Creek from the source to McConnell Road was added to the 303(d) list for ecological/biological integrity for fish communities. The Mainstem in the Park is upstream of McConnell Road and is within the section of South Buffalo Creek where ecological /biological integrity of benthos and fish communities are listed on the 303(d) list. The Park consists of maintained turf, disturbed forested areas, playground areas, general park amenities, two stream channels, and a mix of maintained and unmaintained riparian buffers. Additionally, a sanitary sewer line is located adjacent to the stream within the Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer. The length of Mainstem and Tributary within the Park property is approximately 1,800 linear feet and approximately 215 linear feet, respectively. The stream bed for both the Mainstem and Tributary range from bedrock to sand throughout the project reach. The highly urbanized watershed results in flashy storm flows with low base flow between storm events. Shear stress increases with depth during these flashy storm events and increases bank erosion. As the water surface recedes back to base flow elevations, the eroded material from the stream banks deposits in the lower gradient sections creating reaches of flat plane beds resulting in poor aquatic habitat. Geomorphic data was collected on the Mainstem and Tributary to better understand geomorphic characteristics of the impaired streams. Data collected included measurement and survey of channel cross-sections, longitudinal profiles, and dominant channel substrate consistent with the Rosgen Mainstem Channel Classification Level II survey. Existing geomorphic data for the Mainstem and Tributary are provided in Section 3.7, Table 3 -1- All reaches have generally straight channels with limited meanders with poorly developed riffle -pool complexes. These channels are incised, moderately entrenched with no bankfull bench, and limited connection to the historic floodplain. There has been some tree loss on top of the banks and there is a high risk for additional tree loss due to current bank erosion and widening of the Mainstem as it attempts to create a new floodplain terrace. The banks are severely eroded and are contributing sediment to the channels during storm events. These reaches are generally consistent with the Rosgen "G4" stream type (Rosgen, 1996). 3.2 Project Purpose and Need Staff from the City's Water Resources Department and Parks and Recreation Department partnered to identify and assess stream reaches located within City -owned park lands for stabilization /enhancement needs. The identified streams were assessed and ranked by City staff, and a priority list of candidate Brown ,,Caldwell 3-i Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document P• \Greensboro \140976 - Ardmore Park Stream Restoration \300- Permrtting\010- 404_401 Permrtbng \PCN\Ardmore PCN Support Documentdocx Section 3 Ardmore Park Stream Enhancement Pre - Construction Notification and Supporting Documentation streams were identified for potential restoration, enhancement, or stabilization. The stream segments located within City -owned land at Ardmore Park were identified as among the higher priorities for restoration, enhancement, or stabilization because of the quality of the streams, location within the Park, and close proximity to adjacent utility infrastructure. The, project's purpose and need is to enhance approximately 2,015 linear feet of stream channel within the Park property, including construction of two offline wetlands within the existing stream buffer to improve water quality and protect existing utility infrastructure. Proposed wetlands will be constructed with native vegetation in order to prevent permanent impacts to existing Jordan Lake Stream Buffers. This project is necessary to address impairment issues; improve channel stability, water quality, and in- stream habitat; protect adjacent infrastructure; improve safety and aesthetics; and provide educational opportunities for the public. 3.3 Project Details The City proposes to enhance two streams and their associated buffers within the Park. Enhancement activities will include the following: the addition of meanders where feasible; incorporating in- stream measures to improve stream stability; and planting native vegetation to improve bank stability and enhance the existing riparian buffer. These design elements will prevent further degradation of the streams while protecting adjacent utility infrastructure. Several design constraints, such as existing utilities and narrow property corridors, are associated with this project. The City requested that the design not require any access from private properties and minimize construction on private property. As a result of the required enhancement activities, two temporary construction easements will be obtained. Additionally, some construction equipment is required within stream channels and stream banks; however, approved best management practices will be utilized and work will be completed in the dry. A pump around with a dewatering device (e.g., silt bag) will be used to bypass stream flow around each of the five construction area phases. 3.4 Design Alternatives Based on the site constraints described above, the applicant evaluated three onsite project alternatives to meet the purpose and need of this project Various design elements were considered throughout the planning process in an attempt to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional features to the maximum extent practicable, while maintaining an environmentally and economically feasible project. The applicant has reviewed potential options to offer the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative that still meets the project's purpose and need as detailed below. 3.4.1 Alternative 1- No Action (Natural Recovery) The no action alternative would allow natural forces to shape and restore both the Mainstem and Tributary over time. This alternative may be suitable for some sections of stream that are not posing health and safety risks to the general public or threat to expose underground utilities. This particular site is actively eroding leaving several trees at risk of falling. Two areas of the stream are also actively eroding closer to adjacent underground sanitary sewer pipes. Exposing the sanitary sewer lines would put the pipes at risk of damage from floating debris hitting the pipes during larger storm events, causing the potential release of raw sewage into the stream. Since the Park is located along the entire unstable east side of the Mainstem, the Mainstem needs to be repaired to avoid further erosion into the Park and further risk to Park users. The Mainstem and Tributary are currently in a period of transition and the no action alternative will fail to address the continued imbalance of channel dimensions, flows, erosion, or protection against loss of trees around the Park or to the sanitary sewer lines. The channel will continue to incise down to a stable slope or to BrownwCaldweU 3-2 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document P. \Greensboro \140976 - Ardmore Park Stream Restoration \300- Permrtting\010. 404_401 Permang \PCN\Ardmore PCN Support Documentdocc Ardmore Park Stream Enhancement Pre-Construction Notification and Supporting Documentation Section 3 bedrock, and then erode outward as frequent high volume, high velocity storms repeatedly stress the system. Instream habitat conditions are also likely to remain poor as a result of not improving any instream stability or functions. 3.4.2 Alternative 2 - Stream Bank Stabilization The City considered stream bank stabilization as an alternative; however, this alternative was determined infeasible and did not meet the purpose and need of the project. Alternative 2 proposed only stabilization activities for both streams. Stabilization would likely include grading to lay back stream bank slopes for stabilization, stabilizing graded slopes with biodegradable erosion control matting, and vegetating with native riparian plant species. However, in order to avoid a variable stream channel width throughout the Park, grading of stream banks only was avoided as this activity would result in a loss of useable Park area. Large amounts of earthwork would be required, which would not meet the request of the City to avoid any further loss of the Park. Boulder toes, boulder vanes, vegetated soil lifts, or other bioengineering methods would likely be used as part of the stabilization measures to create scour pools, increase habitat for aquatic species, and reduce shear stress during bankfull flows. Most importantly, implementation of only stabilization efforts will not change the profile of the Mainstem and will not address the need to improve the poor instream habitat. Implementing only stabilization would also do little to correct the problems with dimension, pattern, or profile. Because stabilization does not correct the dimension, pattern, and profile, the Mainstem and Tributary would likely continue being susceptible to extreme shear stress which can erode the stream banks even with armoring. Stabilization may also do little to improve the poor variety of in- stream geomorphology, habitat, and structure. ' 3.4.3 Alternative 3 - Stream Enhancement with Additional Water Quality Improvements Alternative 3 proposes stream enhancement activities which include changing the dimension, pattern, and profile of the Mainstem and Tributary and adding floodplain benches to help reduce shear stresses on the stream banks. The confined corridor prohibits restoring the sinuosity typical of a riffle -pool stream type (Rosgen Type C), so the overall pattern would only be slightly augmented as part of this alternative. The dimension of the Mainstem and Tributary would be altered to create a cross-section that mimics bankfull dimensions and provides a bankfull floodplain where feasible. Reducing the cross - section area for the baseflow channel would improve the sediment transport within the Mainstem and Tributary and will help maintain clean bed substrates to benefit aquatic macroinvertebrate communities and habitat Pools would also be designed, based on surveyed dimensions from the reference reach site, to provide energy dissipation of higher stream flows and create additional habitat Various in- stream structures would be placed throughout the Mainstem and Tributary to control the grade of the stream bed, create scour pools to increase habitat for aquatic species, enhance the riffle -pool channel morphology, and reduce shear stress during bankfull flows. The stream banks would be stabilized with biodegradable erosion control matting and planting of native riparian species. Alternative 3 also proposes two offline wetlands to improve water quality. The first created wetland is proposed on the inside bend of the right bank at the confluence of the Tributary and Mainstem, and would serve to capture and temporarily retain high flows from the Tributary (see Sheet C,8 in Appendix E). it would be designed as a slough with an open channel inlet and outlet to minimize maintenance needs and would be allowed to naturally re- vegetate and capture sediment The second wetland would be designed in a naturally low -lying area behind a mufti-family housing development between West Florida Street and Hayden Street. The offline wetland would capture approximately 3.2 acres of runoff from the development that currently discharges through a 15 -inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) into an upland area before reaching the Mainstem.

Alternative 3 also reduces increased sediment loads downstream, provides a starting point for improving water quality in the watershed, and provides educational opportunities to the public. Based on these reasons, Alternative 3 was selected as the preferred alternative for this project 3.5 Proposed Project The proposed stream enhancement design, which minimizes disturbance to existing stream buffers to the extent practicable, will incorporate the following design features and measures: • constructing riffles and meanders to improve in- stream habitat; • narrowing the base flow channel to increase the ability of the Mainstem and Tributary to transport sediment; • incorporating floodplain benches to reduce velocities and shear stress on the stream banks; • adding boulder vanes, boulder cross vanes, and boulder walls for stabilization and to improve in- stream habitat; and, • constructing two offline wetlands to improve water quality The existing and proposed conditions were modeled using the USACE HEC -RAS River Analysis System, version 4.1 to compare the changes to the existing water surface elevations as a result of the proposed stream enhancements. A requirement of the City was to not raise the 100 -year flood elevation on private properties. The proposed project meets this requirement. The modeling was also used to ensure proper stabilization matting was selected to protect the proposed streambanks under the new flow conditions. Stabilization matting was selected to provide a factor of safety of at least 1.3. The Construction Plan and Profile (Sheets C-8 and G9 in Appendix E) show the proposed enhancement measures for the project site. Portions of the existing incised channels on Reaches 1, 2, and 3 (Figure 3- 1) will be graded to create a new, stable stream and floodplain at the existing channel -bed elevation or higher. Major constraints throughout the entire length of the project are the confined corridors of the Mainstem in Reach 1 and not raising the elevation of the existing 100 -year flood elevation on adjacent private properties. The confined corridor limits the available space to create floodplain benches in many areas. The areas that are not as confined will consist of a riffle -pool stream type (Rosgen Type Q. Speck enhancement measures for each reach consist of the following: Reach 1- Station 0 +00 to 9 +50 (Sheet G8) 1. Grade existing eroded stream banks to a 2H:1V slope starting from the toe of bank due to existing bedrock on channel bed. 2. Create slight meandering riffle -pool section using the geomorphic design parameters in Table 3-1 upstream of the pedestrian bridge. Riffles will be constructed with slopes ranging from 0.6 percent to 1.5 percent and pools will have a depth of two to three feet The alignment was selected to avoid grading on private property to the extent practicable on the right bank and to maintain• a buffer from the existing sanitary sewer on the left bank. A vegetated soil lift is proposed on the outer bend of the meander (Station 3 +50) to prevent the stream from migrating toward the existing sanitary sewer and will extend approximately 150 linear feet downstream of the proposed meander to preserve a 40 -inch diameter oak. 3. Install boulder vanes in the meander complexes that will create scour pools to increase habitat for aquatic species, enhance the riffle -.pool channel morphology, and reduce shear stress during Brown m caldwell 3-4 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document.

Install a boulder cross vane immediately upstream of the pedestrian bridge and upstream of the West Florida Street culvert to stabilize the stream banks, dissipate and direct energy from higher flows from the banks to the center of the channel, and establish a stable stream bed profile. Reach 2 - Station 20 +00 to 22 +15 (Sheet C,8) 1. Slightly raise channel bed to create a riffle and pool at the confluence of the Mainstem in Reach 1. 2. Construct a minimum five -foot wide bankfull bench on the left bank to reduce shear stress during higher flows. Reach 3 - Station 10 +20 to 18 +52 (Sheet G9) 1. Install a boulder stacked wall on the left bank to stabilize the actively eroding bank along the exposed existing bedrock stream bed. The boulder wall will be constructed to allow access to the Mainstem by the public and can serve as a seating wall for park users. The bottom course of the boulder wall will be anchored to the exposed bedrock for added stability. 2. Construct a meandering riffle -pool stream type using the geomorphic design parameters in Table 3- 1. Riffles will be constructed with slopes ranging from 0.5 percent to 1.6 percent and pools will have a depth of two to three feet. The stream alignment will be shifted away from the Park and will preserve as many of the existing canopy trees as practicable. 3. Install boulder vanes in pools -that will create a scour pool to increase habitat for aquatic species, enhance the riffle -pool channel morphology, and reduce shear stress during bankfull flows to allow the native woody vegetation to become established and provide additional stabilization to the banks. 4. Install a boulder cross vane upstream of the Hayden Street culvert to stabilize the stream banks, to dissipate and direct energy from higher flows from the banks to the center of the channel, and establish a stable stream bed profile. 5. Enhance existing plunge pool immediately downstream of Hayden Street by stabilizing the toe of bank and re- grading the side slopes. 6. Construct a short riffle -pool complex by realigning the channel away from the existing sanitary sewer on the left bank and constructing a vegetated soil lift (Station 17 +00) on the outer bend of the meander to further protect the adjacent sanitary sewer line. Two offline water quality improvement wetlands are proposed as part of this project. Both of these measures will be located adjacent to the stream channels and will serve to improve water quality from runoff in the drainage area. The proposed wetlands include: an offline slough that will receive flows from the Tributary and will connect to the Mainstem and an offline wetland that will treat currently untreated runoff from an adjacent development before entering into the Mainstem. Each wetland area will be designed to minimize land disturbance and maximize pollutant removal to the extent practicable. The offline slough and wetland will be allowed to return to their natural state without scheduled maintenance. The slough is proposed on the inside bend at the confluence of the Tributary and the Mainstem. The slough is designed to capture flows from smaller storm events for treatment and provide minimal long- term storage from higher storm flows. The slough will be served by two, three -foot wide trapezoidal channels as the inflow and outflow that will be lined with appropriately sized riffle bed material to mimic a natural stream bed. The slough will be planted with native riparian vegetation and be allowed to naturally re-establish as part of the riparian buffer. This feature is located within Zones 1 and 2 of the riparian buffer and can be found on C-8 in Appendix E.

There is a natural low area in this location that is currently vegetated with trees and shrubs. This low area receives piped runoff from a 3.2 -acre drainage area that consists of a multi- family housing development located approximately 200 feet west of the Mainstem. Runoff from the development is through a 15 -inch RCP and discharges onto riprap that eventually becomes sheet flow across the existing riparian area. The offline wetland is proposed to be constructed in the Zone 2 riparian buffer with an open channel step -pool structure outfalling into the Mainstem located in Zone 1. This feature can be found on Sheet C-9 in Appendix E. 3.6 Reference Reach Natural channel design relies on the characteristics (i.e., cross - section, plan form, and profile) of a stable stream located in a watershed -of similar drainage area, land use, and geologic characteristics. A desktop analysis was performed to delineate and locate watersheds near the Park with similar drainage area and land use to the Park site. Three sites were identified near the project site that had streams within City-owned property that could be accessed without prior approval. Site visits were made to the three sites to identify stable sections of streams that could be used as reference reach data. Only one site was found to possess a reach of stream that was stable and could be used as a reference site. This reference reach is on an unnamed tributary to Mile Run Creek (Figure 3-2), located east of South Elm Eugene Street and north of West Florida Street approximately three miles east of Ardmore Park. This specific reference reach was selected due to the similarities in drainage area, land use types, geology, and a stable reach of stream. The riparian buffers along this reference reach were intact on the right bank with multistory vegetation. The left bank included a maintained sanitary sewer easement with a variable offset from the reference stream reach. The section of stream used for the reference reach had woody vegetation at the top of bank with stable stream banks. Data collected on the reference reach included a longitudinal profile; two riffle cross - section; one pool cross-section; two riffle pebble counts; one lateral bar pebble count; multiple photographs; and field notes regarding the overall conditions of the stream. The reference site contained a stable riffle /pool complex consisting of three riffles and two pools. The average slope of the three riffles is 2.4 percent, ranging from 19 percent to 2.8 percent. The width of the riffles ranged from four to seven feet and the width of the pools ranged from nine to 15 feet.

Riparian -areas from toe of stream bank to top of stream bank and side slopes of the stormwater wetlands. 2. Upland -from top of stream bank including all upland areas as part of the unmaintained riparian buffer. 3. Wetland - includes the bottom area of the proposed offline slough and wetland areas. 4. Maintained /Lawn - includes areas in the Park outside of designated riparian zones. All zones, except the maintained zone, will be permanently stabilized using a mixture of native plant species suitable for each of the three planting zones. These zones will be planted with a mixture of containerized plants, containerized tublings, plugs and live stakes for the tree and shrub species, and seed mix for herbaceous species. Herbaceous material for the offline slough and wetland will consist of shrubs and a wetland seed mix. The plant selection will include the native species observed on site during the site assessment and supplemented with other native species indicative of the region that will provide added stabilization to the stream banks, added habitat, shade the Mainstem and Tributary to help reduce water temperatures, and provide visual interest for Park users. Plants will also be selected to preserve views to the Mainstem from the Park. The Maintained /Lawn zone plants will be selected to be consistent with the existing turf species at the Park. The Planting Plan for the four zones is shown on Sheet C -19 in Appendix E. 3.9 Avoidance and Minimization In an attempt to avoid and minimize impacts to WOUS to the maximum extent practicable, as described in the alternatives analysis, the applicant evaluated several project design options. Based on engineering evaluations, environmental impacts, and costs, the preferred alternative is the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative that meets the projects purpose of enhancing and stabilizing deteriorating streams within the Park and protecting adjacent utility infrastructure. A State - approved erosion and sediment control plan will be followed to further minimize impacts to jurisdictional features. Stream enhancement has been divided into five phases of construction to limit the amount of disturbed area at one time in the stream channel and in upland areas. Each phase will be permanently stabilized with the appropriate permanent seed mix and stabilization matting before construction will commence in the next phases. Installation of trees and shrubs will occur once all phases of construction are complete. A pump around with a dewatering device (e.g., silt bag) will be used in each phase of construction to bypass clean upstream flow around the construction area and to treat sediment laden water within the construction area prior to releasing into the stream, downstream of the current phase of construction. Silt fence, temporary construction entrances, and temporary and permanent vegetation will also be used in each phase of construction to further control erosion and sediment runoff that may occur within the project limits. Tree protection will also be used to protect desired trees and groups of vegetation selected to remain as part of the project. 3.10 Direct Jurisdictional Impacts The design team has attempted to avoid and minimize impacts to WOUS to the maximum extent practicable, while still maintaining the project purpose. Despite avoidance and minimization efforts, the following stream and Jordan Lake Buffer impacts are required: 1,676 linear feet of permanent stream channel impacts; 0.03 acres of permanent impacts to unmaintained riparian buffer, BrownmCeldwell 3-8 Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document.

Areas of temporary unmaintained riparian buffer impacts will be restored and re- vegetated with native riparian tree and shrub species and seeded with appropriate vegetative seed mix. Areas of temporary maintained riparian buffer impacts will be restored and re- vegetated with an appropriate lawn seed mix. Indirect impacts will be minimized through implementation of a State- approved erosion and sediment control plan. A detailed impacts map is provided as Figure 3-3. This project is not expected to impact public water supply, any shellfish harvesting area, spawning grounds, waterfowl habitat; nor jeopardize threatened or endangered species, of which we are aware; nor disrupt the movement of aquatic life. Therefore, this activity should not cause or contribute to significant degradation of WOUS, nor should the activity adversely or substantially affect human health or welfare; life stages of organisms dependent upon the aquatic ecosystem; ecosystem diversity, productivity, or stability; or significantly degrade recreational, aesthetic, or economic values. 3.11 Compensatory Mitigation Mitigation is not being proposed for this project, as this activity is self - mitigating resulting in an overall increase in stream function and value. Additionally, mitigation is not being proposed for impacts to the Jordan Lake Buffer based on proposed activities discussed during a pre - application meeting with NC DWQ.

Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Field Office Attn: Mr. Andrew Williams 3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 105 Wake Forest, North Carolina 27587 Re: Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Ardmore Park Wetland Delineation, Guilford County, NC Latitude: N 36.OS298 Longitude: W 79.83916 Mr. Andrew Williams: DRAMBY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULnNG Dramby Environmental Consulting, Inc. (DEC) has been contracted by Brown and Caldwell (Client) to perform a detailed wetland investigation for the Ardmore Park stream enhancement project located in Guilford County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The subject property is generally bounded by South Holden Road to the west, Belmar Street to the east, Immanuel Road to the north, and Interstate 40 (1-40) to the south. Site access can be obtained utilizing both Hayden and West Florida Street within the study area, which bisects the mainstem tributary (unnamed tributary to South Buffalo Creek) in two locations (Figure 2). On behalf of the Client, DEC is requesting a preliminary jurisdictional determination of wetlands and other water features within the flagged wetland delineation boundary. Information required by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and a brief site description are presented below. Methodology DEC applied the technical criteria outlined in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0) and associated guidance to identify jurisdictional boundaries within the property (USACE 2012). Fieldwork was completed in May of 2012. Wetland (or other water feature) flags were placed in the field and numbered sequentially to provide an onsite record of the wetland delineation. A wetland delineation map was generated by surveying the flagged wetland boundaries by a North Carolina licensed surveyor. Data point sampling was conducted within the project study area and is attached. Representative site photographs were taken and are also included as an attachment. Site Description Based on the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey (WSS) ( htta:/ /websoilsurvev.nres.usda.itov/ai3 ),the site is predominantly underlain by the Enon- Urban Land Complex, 2 -10% Slopes (EuB) and the Mecklenburg- Urban Land Complex, 2 -10% Slopes (MuB). Of these, the Enon soil unit is mapped as a hydric soil in Guilford County. A review of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (Wetlands Mapper Dramby Environmental Consulting - 4812 Bristol Circle - Williamsburg, VA 23185 - (757) 894 -1673 Mr. Andrew Williams Raleigh Field Office August 8, 2012 Page 2 of 2 http: / /www.fws.gov /wetlands /Data /Mapper.html) shows no wetlands present within the project study area. The on -site wetland delineation determined that no wetlands were found to be present onsite; however, two unnamed perennial stream tributaries of South Buffalo Creek were Identified within the project study area (Figure 3). The presence of the ordinary high water mark in both the tributary locations is consistent and well defined, with characteristics including changes in the character of the soil, sediment sorting, multiple observed flow events, and an overall established bed and bank. Substrates of the tributaries consist of a combination of sands that varied in particle size with a mixture of small cobble, gravel, and boulder material. Both tributaries were highly incised, with severe erosional scarring present on both banks. In addition, large areas of sedimentation were identified in multiple locations, thus reducing the potential habitat and interstitial space that is commonly used by many macroinvertebrate and fish species. Vegetative species present onsite consist of American beech (Fagus grandifolia), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red maple (Acer rubrum), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American hornbeam (Carpinus carohniona), yellow poplar (Liriodendron Lulipifera), white oak (Quercus alba), southern sugar maple (Ater barbatum), American holly (Ilex opaca), and Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), among others. Most soils throughout the site did not meet any hydric soil indicators and indicators of wetland hydrology were largely absent within the study area. Confirmation Request We would like to arrange an on -site meeting with you to review the DEC wetland delineation and to answer any questions you may have. In the interim, if you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (757) 894 -1676. Sincerely, DRAMBY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, INC.

In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre - construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be "waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: h?

Inc. December 4, 2012 Mr. Ben Nash, RLA Brown & Caldwell 5430 Wade Park Blvd, Suite 200 Raleigh, NC 27607 Subject: Ardmore Park Aquatic Assessment Letter of Findings DEC Project Number: DEC -0012 -2012 Dear Mr. Nash: DRAMSY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULaNG Dramby Environmental Consulting, Inc. (DEC) has been contracted by Brown and Caldwell (BC; Client) to perform an aquatic assessment, and production of a "Letter of Findings ", for the Ardmore Park stream enhancement project located in Guilford County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The subject property is generally bounded by South Holden Road to the west, Belmar Street to the east, Immanuel Road to the north, and Interstate 40 (1-40) to the south. Site access can be obtained utilizing both Hayden and West Florida Streets within the study area, which bisects the mainstem tributary (unnamed tributary to South Buffalo Creek) in two locations (Figure 2). This letter of findings summarizes results of fieldwork conducted by DEC within portions of Ardmore Park. The principal purpose of this assessment was to document the existing conditions of the macroinvertebrate community and to assess the habitat quality of the streams within the project study area. The results of this assessment will allow the Project Team to determine the most appropriate stream improvement measures that should be incorporated in the overall design. This assessment will also allow the Project Team the ability to identify changes within the macroinvertebrate community over time, which can provide critical information as it relates to water quality. Additionally, pre- and post - construction aquatic assessments for stream projects can likely be required by resource agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or the North Carolina Department of Water Quality (DWQ) to document and compare results. Stream monitoring is determined on an individual project specific basis and is based on several factors (for example, compensatory mitigation requirements vs. non - compensatory mitigation requirements). At the time of our July 23, 2012 site visit, it had not yet been determined how this project was going to fit in with City directives. A baseline stream assessment was completed by DEC field staff to sample the macroinvertebrate community and perform a habitat assessment of the stream resources located within the study area. The North Carolina Department of Water Quality's QUAL 4 methodology was employed pursuant to their Standard Operating Procedures Manual along with DWQ's Habitat Assessment methodology for streams located in the Mountain /Piedmont physiographic provinces (DWQ 2006). Initially, the scope called for utilizing DWQ's EPT ( Ephermeroptera - Plecoptera - Trichoptera) methodology to sample the macroinvertebrate community; however, based on the lack of EPT species observed during preliminary reconnaissance, DEC switched to using the QUAL 4 method, as approved by BC. This switch was 4812 Bristol Circle • Williamsburg, Virginia, 23185 • (757) 894 -1673 Mr. Nash, RLA December 4, 2012 Page 2 of 6 necessary in order to provide a better sampling of the macroinvertebrate community, allowing for more reliable water quality comparisons among sampling locations. METHODOLOGY DWQ QUAL 4 METHODOLOGY As previously mentioned, DEC utilized the QUAL 4 methodology from DWQ's Standard Operating Procedures Manual (NCDWQ 2006) to sample the macroinvertebrate community. This abbreviated methodology, in comparison to the detailed Standard Qualitative Method, provides the necessary baseline information needed in order to make reliable water quality comparisons among sampling locations. The QUAL 4 methodology, which is more appropriate for this type of project, reduces the amount of time spent in the field and lab by decreasing the number of collected samples from 10 in the Standard Qualitative Method consisting of two (2) kick samples, two (2) sweeps, one (1) leaf -pack sample, two (2) fine mesh rock and /or log wash samples, one (1) sand sample, and visual observations, to a total of four (4) collections in the QUAL 4 methodology. The four (4) collections consist of one (1) kick sample, one (1) sweep, one (1) leaf -pack sample, and visual observations at each of the five (5) sampling locations. DWQ MOUNTAIN /PIEDMONT HABITAT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY DEC utilized the Habitat Assessment methodology for streams located in the Mountain /Piedmont physiographic provinces from DWQ's Standard Operating Procedures Manual (NCDWQ 2006). DEC assessed a minimum of 100 meters of stream channel and up to 200 meters, if needed, while moving in an upstream direction at each of the five (5) sampling locations. Each sampling location was conducted at a riffle area that was representative of the entire reach segment, when available. This evaluation is based on best professional judgment of eight habitat metrics (see Table 2 and attached habitat assessment data sheets for more detail) including analysis of channel modification, four instream habitat measurements, one streambank measurement, and two riparian zone measurements at each of the five (5) Reaches assessed. Scores are given for each of the eight metrics and are then totaled (100 points possible, with 0 being the lowest and 100 being the highest) providing an overall habitat quality score for the particular reach /stream. Final scoring and results are depicted on the attached field worksheets completed on July 23, 2012. RESULTS MACROINVERTEBRATE AND HABITAT ASSESSMENT Results and locations relating to macroinvertebrates sampled by DEC within each reach can be found in Table 1 and Figure 3. Macroinvertebrates collected by DEC throughout the five (5) reaches yielded low taxa levels (especially EPT taxa - three total). Common EPT species 4812 Bristol Circle, Williamsburg, irrginia, 23185 - (757) 894 -1673 Mr. Nash, RLA December 4, 2012 Page 3 of 6 identified included Hydropsyche betteni, Cheumatopsyche spp., and Baetis flavistriga. Tolerance values (TV) for each species is varied, however, the majority of the EPT taxa collected have moderate to high TV values (i.e. moderately to highly tolerant to polluted waters). Overall, macroinvertebrates collected at each sampling location did not show major variations in overall taxa richness (see Table 1). Reach E did have the fewest species of taxa collected with five (5) present and Reaches A, B, and C having the highest with seven (7). Biotic indexes (measure of the tolerance values of organisms found in the sample relative to their abundance) varied from 7.51 in Reach A to 8.11 in Reach D, both of which depict species that are tolerant of polluted waters. Each of the Reaches assessed and their scores can be found in Table 2 (see also attached habitat assessment data sheets) and Reach locations can be found 'in Figure 3. Overall, each of the reaches exhibited marginal to sub - optimal levels of available habitat, riffle -run complexes, and an overall low diversity in pool size. Embeddedness was high throughout the majority of the reaches. This is likely attributed to the surrounding urban nature of the project area, resulting in excessive amounts of sedimentation entering into the system during various storm events. With this increase in sedimentation, pool variety has decreased, making the streambed become more homogenous throughout. Increases in sedimentation can also decrease dissolved oxygen levels as riffle areas begin to fill in, impacting the ecological communities. These and other degradations were observed throughout the reaches, including channel modifications resulting from historical road and bridgework and the mowing of vegetation up close to the stream banks. As previously noted, reaches A, B, and C were mostly dominated by a more homogenous substrate; however, reaches D and E scored higher as diversity within the substrate was increased with larger more diverse bed material. Riparian scores were mainly very low for this assessment as a combination of maintained lawns and residential homes were present within the surveyed areas. Reach E was found to score the highest (score of 71) of the four other reaches assessed as a result of elevated scores in in- stream habitat, substrate diversity, bank stability, and riparian area vegetation. In contrast, Reach A scored the lowest with a total score of 43. The low score attributed to Reach A was due in part to the overall lack of diversity of in- stream habitat and streambed substrate. The streambed was fairly homogenous throughout Reach A with finer materials dominating the streambed. This increase in fine materials is most likely a result of bank instability within Reach A and portions upstream that are made readily available during storm events, which is typical in most unstable urban systems. Reach B (score of 54) is very similar to Reach A, however; a reach break was warranted due to the stream channel reducing in overall stream width. Reach C (score of 62) was unique to the other streams assessed as the majority of the streambed substrate was dominated by bedrock, which has allowed for more bed and bank stability within the reach. Reach D (score of 60) was similar to that of Reach B but an increase in streambed substrate diversity was found to occur, thus elevating its total score. 4812 Bristol Circle, Williamsburg, Virginia, 23185 - (757) 894 -1673 Mr. Nash, RLA December 4, 2012 Page 4 of 6 CONCLUSION MACROINVERTEBRATEAND HABITATASSESSMENT Macroinvertebrate and physical habitat assessments performed on the five (5) reaches (un- named tributaries to South Buffalo Creek) within the Ardmore Park boundaries show the quality of the stream system to be representative of a typical warm -water stream located in an urban setting of the piedmont physiographic region. Many factors can influence the biological community composition and habitat quality of stream systems. Available in- stream habitat for colonization, such as riffles and woody debris, flow conditions, watershed land -use and any upstream discharges are just a few criteria that can drastically impact biological communities and habitat conditions. It is likely that Increasing levels of pollution within the watershed of the project area have eliminated the more sensitive species (EPT taxa) within Reaches A -E, leading to lower species richness and higher TV values overtime, as demonstrated in Table 1. A bioclassification of "Good" will typically have a Biotic Index value (measure of the tolerance values of organisms found in the sample relative to their abundance) no higher than 5.78. Based on these criteria, Reaches A -E have Biotic Indexes ranging from 7.51 to 8.11, which would be considered very stressed and rated Poor utilizing NCDWQ protocol standards. Typical healthy streams in the Piedmont of North Carolina should have a much higher taxa richness and diversity. Samples obtained in this assessment can be characterized by extremely tolerant organisms, resulting in a very low taxa diversity rating. It is the opinion of DEC that the majority of the stream channel assessed is in poor condition and would greatly benefit from some form of "enhancement" or "restoration ", with the intent to stabilize the stream from further deterioration and to provide more available habitat for colonization of the biological community. However, it should be noted that additional stressors are present within the streams surveyed and water quality is likely a strong contributor influencing the biological community. In most stream enhancement or restoration projects, the primary purpose is to restore the natural function, stability, and biological conditions, with water quality often needing to be addressed beyond the above - mentioned natural system restoration activities. Moreover, in order to see actual changes in water quality overtime, implementation of various best management practices (BMP's) may need to be incorporated in combination with the stream improvement projects. Examples of BMP's may include stormwater retrofits, grass swales, sub- surface or surface created wetlands, and wet and dry detention ponds, all being implemented in strategic locations within the watershed. These locations can be determined based on water quality sampling data obtained from fieldwork conducted within the watershed. DEC recommends that further investigations of various water quality improvement projects be studied in concert with the proposed stream enhancement project by a water resource engineer with specific experience in watershed and stormwater management. 4812 Bristol Circle, Williamsburg, ftinia, 23185 - (757) 894 -1673 Mr. Nash, RLA December4, 2012 Page 5 of 6 DEC appreciates this opportunity to provide environmental consulting services for the Ardmore Park stream enhancement project.

There are a total of 1 threatened, endangered, or candidate species, and/or designated critical habitat on your species list. Species on this list are the species that may be affected by your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fishes may appear on the species list because a project could cause downstream effects on the species. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions. Species that may be affected by your project: Flowering Plants Status Species Profile Contact Small Whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) Threatened species info Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office FWS National Wildlife Refuges (USFWS National Wildlife Refuges Program). There are no refuges found within the vicinity of your project. FWS Migratory Birds (-U-,S—FWS Migratory Bird Program). Most species of birds, including eagles and other raptors, are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703). Bald eagles and golden eagles receive additional protection under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668). The Service's Birds of Conservation Concern (2008) report identifies species, subspecies, and populations of all migratory nongame birds that, without additional conservation actions, are likely to become listed under the Endangered Species Act as amended (16 U.S.0 1531 et seq.). NW[ Wetlands (USFWS National Wetlands Inventory). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency that provides information on the extent and status of wetlands in the U.S., via the National Wetlands Inventory Program (NWI). In addition to impacts to wetlands within your immediate project area, wetlands outside of your project area may need to be considered in any evaluation of project impacts, due to the hydrologic nature of wetlands (for example, project activities may affect local hydrology within, and outside of, your immediate project area). It may be helpful to refer to the USFWS National Wetland Inventory website. The designated FWS office can also assist you. Impacts to wetlands and other aquatic habitats from your project may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal Statutes.

(DEC) has been contracted by Brown and Caldwell and the City of Greensboro to assist with a stream enhancement project within Ardmore Park located in Guilford County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The subject property is generally bounded by South Holden Road to the west, Belmar Street to the east, Immanuel Road to the north, and Interstate 40 (1-40) to the south. The City of Greensboro is proposing to enhance approximately 2,000 linear feet of stream channel. Buffer enhancements and water quality features are also proposed as part of the project. DEC accessed the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) new online GIS Mapping Application for information on known historic properties located within or near the project area. Based on that information and a site reconnaissance during the stream delineation, no known historic properties are located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. An application for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Nationwide Permit and associated North Carolina State 401 Water Quality Certification will be submitted for the proposed project. As part of due diligence for permitting, please review this project for potential effects to historic and archaeological properties. Figures and photos of the project area are attached for your review. Please contact me at (757) 894 -1673 or sdramby @drambvenv.com should you have any questions or require additional information. Thank you for your time and consideration of this project. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Dramby Environmental Consulting, Inc. J. LO.
