Charlotte, NC, 28202
Dear Mr. Austin:
Your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification to fill 0.13 acre of wetlands and 274 linear feet of intermittent
and perennial streams in order to construct the Kannapolis Country Club residential subdivision in Rowan County was
received in the Division of Water Quality's Central Office on July 9, 2002. According to our rules [15A NCAC 2H .0507
(A)], if final action is not taken within 60 days, the Certification is waived unless DWQ has objected in writing to your
application. Therefore, DWQ has waived the requirement for a 401 Water Quality Certification for your plans to impact
waters as described in your July 9, 2002 application materials.
However, if additional impact occurs or your development plans change, this waiver is no longer valid and a 401
Water Quality Certification will be required.
If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney or Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
JRD/cbk

VM. 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/ncwetlands/strmizide.html.
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

Re: Kannanolis Country Club - Approximately 300 acres. Rowan County. North Carnlins -
Nationwide Permit #39. #14. #12 -
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Jeff Austin of Atlantic American Properties, Inc., I am requesting authorization
impact + 0.31 acres of isolated wetlands; .01 acres of jurisdictional wetlands; ± 269 linear feet of
important stream and ± 5 If of unimportant intermittent stream to implement 4 separate road crossings
over tributaries of Irish Buffalo Creek. Total impervious surface on the site is less than 30% overall and
less than 30% for each development pod. A meeting was held with Mr. Todd St. John of NCDWQ with
the planners and engineers to review the overall plan on May 20, 2002. As depicted on the attached map,
over 90% of the important perennial and intermittent streams are preserved. The following sections
present the results of the environmental planning and a description of the impacts with proposed
minimization and mitigation measures.
SUMMARY OF WATERS OF THE U.S.
Methodology
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined
according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with
Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA
Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the
Routine On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In
order to make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric sail, and
wetland hydrology must be identified as described in the manual.
Mr. Steve Chapin - USACE, Mr. John R Dorney, Mr. Mike Parker - NCDWQ
Page 3, July 3, 2002
Background
The site is within the headwaters of perennial and intermittent tributaries of Irish Buffalo Creek in the
Yadkin River Basin (Water Classification - WS-M. The majority of the site is a moderately sloping to
steeply sloping ridge. The current land-use is undeveloped woodland and an existing golf course.
Description
Wetland Hvdroloa and Hydric Soils
These riparian areas can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved and Scrub Shrub (PF01A,
PFO1C, PSS1A). According to the North Carolina Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide-
Section II-A-2, June 1991, Chewacla soils are listed as Map Units with inclusions of Hydric Soils in
Rowan County. The streams on the site are perennial to intermittent. The majority of the streams have
important aquatic value. Characteristics include persistent pools, riffle and pool complexes (a "special
aquatic site") in the perennial streams, fish in the lower portions, amphibians and macro-invertebrates;
evidence of wildlife utilizing the stream; and rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate. Vegetation in
riparian and along tributaries is dominated by Facultative Vegetation.
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and North Carolina
1) Important Intermittent and Perennial Streams
(+ 15,000 If) ± 2.00 acres
2) Unimportant Intermittent Channels (+ 330 If) + 0.03 acres
3) Wetlands + 0.20 acres
4) Ponds ± 9.50 acres
Total + 11.73 acres
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and North Carolina
1) Important Intermittent and Perennial Streams
(+ 269 lf) + 0.04 acres
2) Unimportant Intermittent Channels (+ 5 lf) + 0.001 acres
3) Wetlands + 0.09 acres
Total + 0.131 acres
PROPOSED MINIMIZATION AND MITIGATION
The following Best Management Practices will be employed and strictly enforced to minimize impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
Mr. Steve Chapin - USACE, Mr. John R Dorney, Mr. Mike Parker - NCDWQ
Page 4, July 3, 2002
d) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters.
e) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
The developers are committed to creating an environmentally responsible proiect Except for temporary
construction and development impacts, we believe that the proposed project with the proposed mitigation
will not cause significant cumulative impacts to the ecological functions or values of Jurisdictional Waters
of the United States.
MITIGATION PLAN
The proposed mitigation plan includes protective buffers for the remaining important perennial and
intermittent streams. To meet restoration mitigation requirements for stream impacts by grading, the
developer is proposing to contribute $33,625 to the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program (269 if
X $125/lf).
PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The preserved streams and wetlands will be protected from future development impacts by the applicant or
by a group designated by the applicant for this purpose. As required, development of these areas will be
deed restricted in accordance with restrictive covenants, or similar mechanisms, which will be developed
for approval by the USACE and/or NCDWQ.
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of succession
fields, margins, and forested openings. Based on a site reconnaissance, habitat conducive to support the
Schweinitz's sunflower is not present in the Droiect area.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project site is disturbed from previous agricultural activities, golf course, and timbering activities.
The State Historic Preservation Office may review of the USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology
and the Survey and Planning Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to determine
if sites are indicated on the National Historic Register within the study area.
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of important wetlands and streams in the Catawba Basin.
A variety of wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish,
insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation
Mr. Steve Chapin - USACE, Mr. John R Dorney, Mr. Mike Parker - NCDWQ
Page 5, July 3, 2002
control plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water
quality downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Short term construction impacts, primarily
stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent practicable
to promote rapid recovery. Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved sedimentation and
erosion control plan. Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other
erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface
waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to
prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
Aquatic resources are expected to be enhanced through the restoration of wetland areas that flood and
pond for longer durations.
CONCLUSION
Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive
site planning has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value and
permitability.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your
consideration.

A Survey of Plant Communities and Species of Concern
A survey of the Kannapolis Country Club was made on October 19, 2000. The purpose
of the survey was to determine the possible presence of exemplary plant communities and
for the occurrence of plant species of concern. In addition, observations were made on the
aquatic habitats. Renovation work, including a new entrance road and realignment of the
golf course, dictated this examination. The NC Natural Heritage Program lists of species
of concern for Cabarrus and Rowan Counties were used as a guide for the field work.
Copies of the lists for both counties are included at the end of this report.
The Kannapolis Country Club is located north of Kannapolis, on the eastern shore of
Lake Kannapolis. The Country Club was built in 1953 as the Cannon Mills Golf Club.
It has been maintained since then as an active golf club, with clubhouse, swimming pool,
and tennis courts. To quote from the brochure for the Club, "Nestled in the tall pines
along the shore of Lake Kannapolis ....", tells the dominant woody cover for the active
part of the golf course. However, there are segments of forests that are not dominated by
pines. The margins of the fairways, pockets of woody buffers in the interior of the
course, forests around the eastern boundary of the Club, and the wetlands associated with
the lake and the tributaries into the lake were examined. Not all areas will be described,
as there is a great uniformity to the property due to its consistent and intensive
management as a golf course.
All margins of woodlands along fairways have been treated with herbicide, so the course
extends up to and into the woods, with no herbaceous border. The banks of the
tributaries and ponds within the course have received similar treatment.
Due to the continuing drought in the Piedmont, the falling water level in Lake Kannapolis
has exposed a large emergent wetland zone all around the lake and into the coves. These
wetlands are dominated by only a few species, having not been exposed long enough to
generate a diversity of species. Where woody species were permitted to grow, Alder
(Alnus serrulata), Silky willow (Salix sericea) and Buttonbush (Cephalanthus
occidentalis) were present. Herbaceous species were represented by a dominant cover of
Fimbristylis (Finzbristylis autunrnalis), Eragrostis (Eragrostis hypnoides), Cyperus
(Cyperus strigosus), and Hypericum (Hypericum mutilum). Scattered individuals of
Pennsylvania knotweed (Polygonum pensyhanicunr), Amma.nia (Ammania coccinea),
Habitat Analysis, Endangered Plant Studies, Restoration of Habitats, Wetland Mitigation, Monitoring
Ludwigia (Ludwigia alternifolia) and Panicum (Panicum stipitatum) occur. A large
clump of Heteranthera (Heteranthera reniformis) was present. This coastal plain species,
originally documented from the NE coastal plain, is spreading into the Piedmont, likely
carried by birds.
Aquatic life found or seen along a walk of this emergent wetland area included the Paper
pondshell floater (Utterbackia imbecillis) Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea), Longnose
gar (Lepisosteus osseus), Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), and various turtles such as the
Yellowbelly slider (Trachemys scripta scripta) and Snapping turtles (Chelydra
serpentina).
The forest above the lake, not included in the golf course, is disturbed both around the
margins and internally. It is dominated by Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), Yellow
poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) and Red maple
(Ater rubrum), over Black cherry (Prunus serotina), Black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Red
maple and Black haw (Viburnum prunifolium).
A wetland occurs at the northeast end of the large pond, along a tributary flowing over
bedrock. Again, the vegetation is disturbed, although not a part of the active golf course.
The dominant woody species are mostly shrubs, Sweetgum, Alder, Black willow (Salix
nigra), Silky willow, Silky dogwood (C'ornus amomum), Elderberry (Sambucus
canadensis), Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), and Privet (Ligustrum sinense). Herbaceous
species present include: Lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), Arrow arum (Sagittaria sp.),
Bidens (Bidens frondosa), Soft rush (Juncus effusus), False nettle (Boehmeria
cyliridrica), Mikania (Mikania scandens), Aster (Aster puniceus), Microstegium
(Microstegium vimineum), Lycopus (Lycopus virginicus), Ludwigia, and Pennsylvania
knotweed.
An examination of the tributary revealed only two species of fish. One was the Mosquito
fish (Gambusia afnis) and the Creek chub (Semotilus atromaculatus). The habitat for
fish and macroinvertebrates is sparse in this stream since much of the bottom is bedrock.
The remaining substrate is mostly sand and pea-sized gravel.
Following the creek into the woods shows a fairly mature canopy along the floodplain.
The dominant species are Basswood (Tilia heterophylla) 23"dbh, Red maple 23'dbh,
Sweetgum 19"dbh, Yellow poplar 18"dbh, with some Beech (Fagus grandifolia) 17"dbh
along the base of the slope. The upland vegetation is Yellow poplar and Shortleaf pine,
20-22"dbh. The understory is open, with a subcanopy of Flowering dogwood (Cornus
florida) and Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana).
The upland vegetation north of the large pond is a mixed pine hardwood forest,
dominated by Loblolly pine (P. taeda) 28"dbh, Shortleaf pine (25"dbh), Red maple
19"dbh, Yellow poplar 17"dbh, White oak (Quercus alba) 17"dbh, Mockernut hickory
(Carya tomentosa), Sweetgum 12"dbh, Red oak (Q. rubra) 12"dbh, and White ash
(Fraxinus americana) 8"dbh. Understory species include Flowering dogwood,
Sourwood (Qaydendrum arboreum) and Persimmon (Diospyros vir?oiniana). This is
typical of most of the upland areas within the Club that are not directly part of the golf
course.
The pond at # 4 has a margin treated with herbicide and is stocked with Bluegill. The
nearby forest is Loblolly pine 18-20"dbh, with lesser sized specimens of Yellow poplar,
Sweetgum, Red maple, Mockernut hickory, Willow oak (Q. phellos), Post oak (Q.
stellata) and Tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima). The understory is Flowering
dogwood, Black cherry, and American elm (Ulmus americana) over Poison ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans) and Blackberry (Rubus sp.).
A nearby maintenance area is covered with weedy species, there being no other species
of interest. The unpaved path leading to the maintenance area has margins that have not
been treated with herbicide, but no species of concern were present.
An intermittent/perennial stream floodplain and forest near #8 tee had scattered large
trees, and a good quality mix and growth of species. This is the best forest at the Club.
The stream was dry at the time of field work. The largest trees are White oak 38"dbh,
Yellow poplar 32"dbh, Black gum 31"dbh, Pignut hickory (C. glabra) 27"dbh, and Red
maple 15"dbh. Shrubs include Flowering dogwood, Sourwood, American holly (Ilex
opaca), sapling Beech, and Chinquapin (Castanea pumila). The ground cover is a large
colony of Running cedar (Lycopodium flabelliforme). Near #8 green, the forest is not a
good quality, being drier and dominated by Scarlet oak (Q. coccinea) 33"dbh, Yellow
poplar 19"dbh, White oak 18"dbh, and Red oak 16"dbh.
One other area of woods occurs along #14. The top of the slope is disturbed, with fewer
disturbances down the slope to the lake. The dominants are Yellow poplar 21 "dbh,
Sweetgum 21"dbh, Southern red oak (Q. falcata) 18"dbh, Black walnut (Juglans nigra)
15"dbh, and Shortleaf pine 14"dbh. Again the margins of the woods have been treated
with herbicide. Below the green for #14, the emergent wetland of the lake is covered
with Fimbristylis.
Numerous buffer patches of woody vegetation dot the golf course, but all have been
cleared to support only the dominant pine trees.
None of the Natural Communities for Cabarrus or Rowan Counties were present, and
there was no indication that any of the species of concern were present. Naturally, it is
not possible to include all species, since some are move obvious in the spring. However
the management and past history of the area indicate little possibility of any of the
habitats or associated species being present.

Re: Wetland Delineation Survey : Kannapolis Country Club
Dear Dale:
A wetland and stream determination and delineation was conducted at the proposed project site. An area
is determined to be a wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil, Hydrophytic Vegetation, and Wetland
Hydrology characteristics. These characteristics are required to be in accordance with the definitions in
the U.S. Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas, which exhibit these three characteristics,
are identified as a wetland and permits may be required for development activities within these areas.
Surface waters such as perennial and intermittent creeks are also subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act.
Wetland Surve
The delineation should now be surveyed. These areas are approximately indicated on the attached map,
however this map should not be used as an accurate representation of wetland and stream extents. A
survey would determine the actual extents more accurately and clarify the regulatory issues and. potential
mitigation conditions, if necessary. The attached map is for illustrative purposes only. A survey is required
for the USACE to make a final jurisdictional determination on the property.
The flags used to define the wetlands are yellow and blue tied together numbered sequentially as roughly
depicted on the attached map. A slash (/) next to the number indicates a connection. All notes on the flags
should be recorded. The point numbers must appear on the survey in a clear and legible manner. Once the
preliminary survey is conducted it will need to be reviewed by me to make sure that the connections are as
intended. Additional site visits and coordination with the surveyor may be required if areas need to be
extended to meet the property lines or for clarification. The centerline of all streams must be surveyed
with approximate width identified. The map will need to be produced based on the following
requirements.
1. Metes and bounds tied to a property corner or other known point or listing of the northnngs and
eastings (NC Coordinate Grid).
Location of each point identified to be included on the map.
Property lines of the entire property or parcel. Mapped floodplains and contours should be
included on the map, if possible.
Mr. Dale Stewart
Wetland Survey, Page 2
4. Wetland boundaries should be closed into distinct polygons. Acreage should be indicated for each
polygon. It is helpful to have the polygons identified (i.e. Area "A", etc.). Surface waters such as
perennial and intermittent channels should also be identified calculated in acreage and linear
feet. The areas should then be listed in a table and totaled.
5. The map should have a vicinity map, north arrow, scale, project name property owner and/or
developer including name, address, telephone number, size of tract.
The surveyor must seal the survey.
7. The following note needs to be shown on the map for the USACE to sign:
Wetland Certifeation
This certifies that this copy of this plat accurately depicts the boundary of jurisdiction of Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act as determined by the undersigned on this date. Unless there is a change in the law of
our published regulations this determination of Section 404 jurisdiction may be relied upon for a period
not to exceed five (5) years from this date. This determination was made utilizing the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.
Name:
(signed by U. S. Army Corps of Engineers)
Title:
Date:
At least four sealed copies should forwarded to me for submittal to the USACE for their certification.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require further explanation.
Thanks.
