DWQ Project # 01 1360
Watauga County
Dear Mr. Hill:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of till material into
approximately 0.20 acres of wetland and 140 linear feet of two unnamed tributaries to Beech Creek,
Class C Tr+ waters, Watauga River Basin, Watauga County for the purpose of constructing three
road crossings for residential development access. 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.
(1) Additional information regarding the road crossings is necessary for our review. Please submit
detailed plans for each crossing, including designs for the arch span crossing of Beech Creek. 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 associated with each. In addition, please provide this office
with evidence that the design and placement of the culverts/arch 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. For each proposed crossing, also include
the following information: (1) clearly depict the width and span of each crossing, (2) indicate the
location of top of bank of the stream with respect to the actual crossing span, (3) discuss width of the
floodplain and (4) clearly detail why the removal of stream side vegetation coupled with increased
energy focused through this crossing will not cause destabilization of the stream banks and cause
sedimentation to the channels.

(2) For the road crossing of Beech Creek and associated wetland, please provide documentation that this
crossing will not cause secondary hydrologic impacts to the wetland. For example, this Division
requires evidence that this road will not cause a backwater effect upon the bog, thus altering
hydrology, habitat and community type.
(3) The Division is concerned about the effects of direct conveyance of stormwater upon the wetland and
believes that diffuse flow, versus stormwater ditches with rip-rap dissipaters, may be possible. Please
address and show the stormwater conveyances of the proposed road and associated development and
investigate the potentiality of directing run-off from any new impervious surface (roads, homes, etc.)
through diffuse flow mechanisms.
(4) Please submit a preliminary site development plan for the entire tract of land. The type of information
needed includes, but is not limited to, the boundaries of your property, roads, the location of surface
waters (streams and wetlands), sufficient riparian buffers, preliminary lot lines, lot acreages, locations
of future septic systems, and any areas to be designated as "common areas".
(5) It is our understanding that portions of the total acreage were investigated for suitable soils for
traditional sewage disposal systems. Please submit the results of that investigation, including a map
that depicts the areas of suitable soils.
(6) As you may be aware, if this 401 Certification is to be issued, the Division will require that the
remaining surface waters (streams and wetlands) and adequate riparian buffers be protected in
perpetuity from future development. The Division strongly recommends that these areas be placed
into a Conservation Easement. In addition to a tax credit for the property owner, the easement would
involve a third party that would act as a land steward to assist in the protection of the natural resource.
Please discuss the viability of this option.
If it is determined that a Conservation Easement is not possible, your other option is to have a deed
restriction or similar legal mechanism be placed upon the remaining surface waters and riparian
buffers. We would also recommend that all surface waters be recorded as one single lot, instead of
multiple lot lines bisecting the wetlands, streams, and buffers.
(7) Finally, this Office understands that you are in the preliminary stages of site development; yet we are
in the position of requiring assurance that secondary impacts will not affect the remaining surface
waters. That stated, if you have any plans to develop a homeowner's association, restrictive covenants,
or deed notifications regarding such things as a maximum square footage for homes,
pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer use, minimal vegetation removal for lot development, maintenance of
septic systems, etc., please convey those ideas. In addition to the other six (6) items listed above,
consideration and implementation of an environmentally sensitive development may help provide
some assurance that Water Quality will be protected, which is key to the issuance of any 401 Water
Quality Certification.
Please respond, in writing, both to this Office and to John Dorney, 2321 Crabtree Blvd.,
Parkview Building, 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

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

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
Page 7 of 14
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The proposed road alignment was established after an exhaustive search of alternatives The first
alternative was to utilize the existing driveway on the adjacent property to the south of the Hill
tract The owners of this parcel were unwilling to grant access. An atte t was made to purchase
a lot on this southern parcel that was/is for sale with the hope of gaining access through-that
piece but the current owner have retained a narrow stp between the lot for sale and the Hill tract
effectively blocking access.
The second alternative was to gain access to the developable portion of the property by directly
crossing the bog. To locate a crossing that would minimize direct impact to the bog, a delineation
was performed of the bog An area was located approximately 600 feet from the southern
property boundary where the width of the bog was only 130 feet. It is important to note that
while the bog-width at this location was only 130 feet, there are additional wetlands pockets
upslgpe (mostly seep wetlands and wetlands associated with swales) some of which must be
crossed to gain access to the upper part of the site A meeting was set up with representatives of
NC DENR DWQ, NC Natural Heritageg and NC WRC attending to gage the likelihood of
obtaining apermit to cross the boa at this location The agency representatives were generally in
concurrence that while the direct impacts may be at a minimum at this location, the secondary
impacts (channelized flow from culverts and ditches, disruption of subsurface flow, and impacts
to seep and swale wetlands) would result in more than minimal impacts to the bog, therefore a
permit at this location would be extremely difficult to obtain and could result in prohibitively
expensive road design considerations.
A third alternative was to gain access through the Town of Beech Mountain. This alternative was
quickly ruled out due primarily to access issues but also due to the fact that such a route would
add nearly an hour to travel time required to access the proper. While there are roads shown on
old maps (1970's) of the resort, Rights of Way were not legally, established or not maintained
that could be used todav. Therefore. anv access from the Town of Beech Mountain would require
the purchase of private pro
A forth alternative was to follow existing Burl Watson Road with a widening vroiect to brim the
road up to county subdivision standards. This option seemed practical gLven that the proper y
line runs along the center of the road for much of the length needed for access but there is no
defined rig rt-of- way. Unfortunately, the portion of the road over which the Applicant had no
ownership was the first 250 feet. This option was tabled when the owners of the first 250 feet
and the adjacent landowners refused to cooperate with a widening project.
The fifth option (Proposed) is to construct a new countytandard goad parallel to the existing
Burl Watson Road thereby eliminating the adjacent landowner issues. This option was facilitated
by the purchase of approximately 4.0 additional acres to the northeast of the original Hill tract.
This option will involve wetland impacts in two areas: First, the crossing of a small swale below
a spring house, and second, the crossing of Beech Creek and adjacent wetlands. A25 foot wide
bottomless arch culvert will be used to span Beech Creek thus avoiding any direct impact to the
creek. Temporary ' acts associated with the installation of footings will extend 2 to 3 feet
inside of the arch but these areas will be backfilled with sod,

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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strin,gide.htmi.
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
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Every reasonable effort has been made to eliminate or minimize impacts both pr'
and secondary to the large bog wetland on this side The greatest area of impact to the bog
itself is at the crossing of Beech Creek (0.175 acres) The remaining areas of impact to
Waters of the US are associated with small tributary crossings Due to the small amount of
impact proposed with this project, no compensatory mitigation. in the form of constructed

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 http://h2o.enr.statc.nc.us/wrp/indcx.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

PROJECT SUMMARY
The Dale Hill project (Legacy Subdivision) is proposed on a 120 acre tract in western
Watauga County, NC. The project will initially involve the construction of approximately
1000 linear feet of a county standard road from existing Shawnee Road across Beech
Creek and associated wetlands to the lower slopes of the western side of the property.
The project site is unique in that it contains a large, high altitude Southern Appalachian
Bog wetland that straddles the headwaters of Beech Creek in the lower reaches of the
tract. Additional seep and groundwater slope wetlands he above the true bog wetlands
effectively doubling the area of wetlands on the site.
The proposed development will consist of a combination of lot sizes ranging from several
one to two acre clustered lots to larger 10 or 15 acre lots. Lots will be established in such
a way as to eliminate or greatly minimize the need for any additional wetland impacts
beyond those sought under this permit application. In addition a common area will be
established around the bog and associated wetlands; these areas will function essentially
as the centerpiece of the development.
A site soils analysis was performed on the western portion of the site above the wetlands.
The analysis was performed by Soil & Environmental Consultants P.A. for the purpose of
determining the location and potential of areas for septic installation. The results of this
study found sufficient areas for at least 15 systems. The majority of these areas are
located in the vicinity and just above the terminus of the proposed road.
Extensive efforts were made to explore alternatives to access the developable portion of
the property without crossing the bog. These efforts are detailed in the application. Total
proposed wetland impacts for this project are 0.02 acres of wetlands and 140 linear feet
of intermittent drainage. The wetland impacts are located immediately adjacent to an
existing driveway in the extreme northern portion of the property and the downstream
limit of the bog adjacent to an existing off-site pond. This was felt to be the best available
location for the proposed road.

WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT
PROJECT NAME: Dale Hill/Legacy Subdivision
LOCATION: Watauga County, NC
GENERAL:
The vicinity of the site is west of Boone at the intersection of Shawnee Road and Burl
Watson Road. West of this intersection is approximately 120 acres starting at an
elevation of 4600 feet on the eastern side and ascending up to 5120 feet in the west. A
Southern Appalachian Bog lies adjacent to the eastern property line and is approximately
20 acres. It is considered to be an A-rated, GI, pristine bog by NC Natural Heritage
Program. According to neighboring landowners, the northern section of the bog, adjacent
to Burl Watson Road, has been infringed upon by the farming of blueberries, which has
caused disturbance to the soil. Various large mounds of decomposing stumps and debris
reveal the evidence of land disturbance in this area. Seep wetlands and wetlands
associated with swales and drainage patterns are located on the western side and are
approximately 18 acres. Beech Creek is the only drainage for the site.
INVESTIGATION:
The wetlands were delineated along the alignment of the proposed road.
SOIL:
The most abundant soil is Wehadkee loam, peaty phase on the east side. Ascending up
the mountain to the west, the soil makes a transition into Stony colluvium and then into
Stony rough land as the slope of the land increases.
VEGETATION:
Dominant wetland trees include Birch, Maple, and Cherry. Dominant shrubs include
Elderberry, Blueberry, Rhododendron, and Mountain Laurel. Common herbaceous
species include several species of Carex, Juncus and Scirpus grasses as well as Cinnamon
ferns. Ascending westward, the bog grasses and ferns are lost, while Lycopodium
complariatum, New York Fern, blackberries and other facultative and upland plants are
introduced outside the boundary of the wetland.
HYDROLOGY:
The bog, which is situated in the headwaters of Beech Creek, is maintained by surface
flows from seeps and springs and shallow groundwater moving down the adjacent steep
slopes. The water level of the lake that lies immediately downstream and numerous
beaver dams also influence hydrology along the path of Beech Creek and the lowest parts
of the valley. Located on the western side, the seep wetlands and wetlands associated
with swales are considered groundwater slope wetlands.
