Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0219

Executive Summary
The 82-Acre Oldstone Forest Subdivision Project is located in Waxhaw, North Carolina,
approximately 2 miles southeast of the Providence Road (NC-16) - Waxhaw Highway (NC-75)
' intersection (Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project will involve the development of
approximately 82 acres of property into a residential subdivision, and creation of an
approximately 4.5-acre lake and adjacent 0.73-acre pond. Mr. Ed Papworth is developing the
property, and has retained Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting
services for this project (Attachment B).
' The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicates that there are seven
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A-G), two non jurisdictional channels (Channels H and
I), six jurisdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA-FF), and one jurisdictional open water area
' (Pond A) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figure 3). On behalf of Mr.
Papworth, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application (Attachment C) with
attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to
' Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3362.
The proposed site plan has positioned lots and attendant features outside of jurisdictional waters
to the maximum extent possible while still achieving the goals of the project. This site plan
' avoids impacting 64% of on-site Perennial channel, 27% of on-site Important Intermittent
channel, 55% of Unimportant Intermittent channel, 100% of jurisdictional open water, and 98%
' of jurisdictional wetlands. All totaled, this plan impacts approximately 628 linear feet of
Perennial channel, 1,338 linear feet of Important Intermittent channel, 0.04 acre (864 linear feet)
of Unimportant Intermittent channel, and 0.006 acre of wetland area (Attachment I - Figure 4).
To mitigate for these impacts, riparian buffers will be maintained along all undisturbed stream
segments, and wetland areas will be allowed to develop along the shoreline of the proposed pond
and lake.
' Since impacts to Perennial channels resulting from dam construction and rip rap placement
(78 linear feet) will be limited to less than 150 linear feet, this project will not require
compensatory mitigation according to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's General
Certification No. 3362, and recent clarification, dated August 19, 2002. All other impacts to on-
site Perennial channels will result from the flooding of the proposed lake. These flood impacts
do not count towards the 300 linear foot threshold specified by Nationwide Permit No. 39. A
storm water management plan is not proposed for this project due to the low-density nature of the
' development. Home sites will be approximately one-acre in size, and consist of single-family
residences.

Existing Conditions
The 82-Acre Oldstone Forest Subdivision Project is located in Waxhaw, North Carolina,
approximately 2 miles southeast of the Providence Road (NC-16) - Waxhaw Highway (NC-75)
intersection (Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project will involve the development of
approximately 82 acres of property into a residential subdivision and creation of an
approximately 4.5-acre lake and an adjacent 0.73-acre pond. Mr. Ed Papworth is developing the
property, and has retained Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetlands permitting
services for this project (Attachment B). On behalf of Mr. Papworth, CWS is submitting a Pre-
Construction Notification application (Attachment C) with attachments in accordance with
Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and
Water Quality Certification No. 3362. The following sections describe the existing conditions of
the site.
Current Land Use
The majority of the site is comprised of forested areas and old fields. Dominant canopy vegetation
includes red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styracifula), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), red elm (Ulmus rubra), and willow oak (Quercus phellos). Dominant understory
vegetation includes Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium virmineum), Virginia creeper
(Parthenocissus quinquefolia), catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans),
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica).
Jurisdictional Delineation and Verification
CWS's Gregg Antemann, Isaac Hinson, and Kip Kerecman delineated on-site jurisdictional waters
of the U.S.' between June 4 and 5, 2002 using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) -
Routine On-site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual.2 Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Wetlands AA-FF
and adjacent upland areas have been included as Attachment D. Jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)3 and
USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel
1 "Jurisdictional waters of the U.S." includes essentially all surface waters such as: all navigable waters and their tributaries, all
interstate waters and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.

Wetlands
Wetland AA is approximately 0.21 acre in size, and is adjacent to Wetland BB, which is
approximately 0.01 acre in size. Both wetlands are contiguous with Stream C, and have wetland
hydrology and hydric soil indicators. Dominant hydrophytic vegetation includes false nettle
(Boehmeria cylindrica), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix nigra), and boneset
(Eupatorium perfoliatum) (Attachment C - DP 1).
Wetlands CC and DD are approximately 0.02 and 0.01 acre in size, respectively. These wetland
areas receive hydrologic input from surface water run-off. Wetland hydrology indicators include
water-stained leaves and drainage patterns in wetlands. Dominant hydrophytic vegetation
consists of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and willow oak (Quercus phellos). Hydric soil
indicators are present as low chroma soils with mottles (Attachment C - DP2).
Wetland EE is approximately 0.06 acre in size, and is contiguous with Streams A and G. This
area is a seep wetland as it is located at the base of the dam of Pond A. Dominant hydrophytic
vegetation includes soft rush (Juncus effusus) and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Wetland
hydrology and hydric soil indicators are also present (Attachment C - DP4). A photograph of
Wetland EE is included as Attachment G - Photograph C.
Wetland FF is approximately 0.01 acre in size. This wetland is located adjacent to the area
where Stream F enters Pond A, and is supported by backwater from these two areas.
Wetland FF exhibits hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology, and hydric soil indicators.
Ponds }
Pond A is approximately 1.26 acres in size, and is located near the center of the site. This pond
contains fish and aquatic turtles, and has inlet and outlet surface water connections. Based on
Pond A's position in the landscape and the presence of a surface water connection, it was
determined to be jurisdictional. A photograph of Pond A is included as

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on July 30, 2002, to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, of archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. In a letter dated September 3, 2002, SHPO stated that they
"... are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project, and therefore,
have no comment on the proposed undertaking." (Attachment H).
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on July 30,
2002 to determine the presence of any federally-listed or candidate endangered or threatened
species or critical habitat located within the project area. In a letter dated August 5, 2002, the
NCNHP specified that there is no record of any rare species, significant natural communities, or
priority natural areas within 3/a mile of the site. However, the NCNHP indicated that the
federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) and federal candidate and
state threatened Georgia aster (Aster georgianus) are located along NC 75, which is located
approximately one mile north of the project area (Attachment H). These species are generally
found along wooded margins and within mowed right-of-ways. CWS is planning to survey the
property for the presence of the Schweinitz's sunflower, and will forward a report of the results
to the appropriate agencies. The following species are also known to exist within the Waxhaw,
NC quadrangle: Carolina birdfoot-trefoil (Lotus helleri), Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona
decorata), notched rainbow (Villosa constricta), Carolina darter (Etheostoma collis), Heller's
rabbit tobacco (Gnaphalium helleri var. helleri), and white wild indigo (Baptisia albescens).
There are no records of these species within 3/a mile of the site. No survey is planned for the
presence of these species.
A letter was forwarded to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on July 30, 2002, to
determine the presence of any federally-listed or candidate endangered or threatened species or
critical habitat within the permit area of the proposed project. To date, no reply has been
received from the USFWS.

82-Acre Oldstone Forest Subdivision Project September 12, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0219
Purpose and Need for the Project
This project will involve the development of approximately 82 acres of property into a
residential subdivision. The purpose of this project is to provide single-family housing to an area
that is experiencing significant population growth. Oldstone Forest subdivision will provide
custom-built homes on one-acre lots in close proximity to Waxhaw.
Project History
A Nationwide Permit No. 14 (Action ID# 200230549) was previously issued for this project on
May 20, 2002 for a single road crossing. Since then the scope of the project was expanded to
include the construction of a 4.5-acre lake and 0.73-acre pond. On July 17, 2002, CWS
submitted a letter to the USACE on behalf of Frontier Land Surveying, requesting the withdrawal
of the previously issued Nationwide Permit No. 14. This permit application will replace the
previously submitted application, and includes impacts associated with the construction of ponds.
Avoidance and Minimization
The site plan for this project has been developed to avoid jurisdictional features to the maximum
extent possible, while still achieving the project's goal. Housing sites (including attendant
features) and the proposed lake and pond were designed to avoid the majority of on-site
wetlands, Streams C and F, and Pond A.
Key elements of the avoidance and minimization strategy include:
• Avoiding approximately 1,126 linear feet of Perennial stream (Streams A, C, and F)
• Avoiding approximately 504 linear feet of Important Intermittent stream (Stream A)
• Avoiding approximately 0.048 acre (1,047 linear feet) of Unimportant
Intermittent stream (Streams B, D, and G)
• Avoiding approximately 1.258 acres of open water (Pond A)
• Avoiding approximately 0.304 acre of wetlands (Wetlands AA, BB, CC, EE,
and FF)

82-Acre Oldstone Forest Subdivision Project September 12, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0219

This site plan avoids impacting 64% of on-site Perennial channels, 27% of on-site Important
Intermittent channels, 55% of Unimportant Intermittent channels, 100% of jurisdictional open
water, and 98% jurisdictional wetlands.
Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
The proposed development of the 82-Acre Oldstone Forest Subdivision Project will result in
unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. These impacts have been determined
utilizing an overlay of the Wetland Boundary Survey and the proposed site plan. Proposed
Impacts are illustrated in Attachment I - Figure 4.
Approximately 130 linear feet of Important Intermittent Stream A and 0.008 acre
(179 linear feet) of Unimportant Intermittent Stream G will be impacted for the construction of
interior roads. Approximately 78 linear feet of Perennial Stream A will be impacted for the
construction of a dam and its associated rip rap. Approximately 0.010 acre (211 linear feet) of
Unimportant Intermittent Stream E will be impacted for the site grading of Lot 6 in Phase 1.
Approximately 402 linear feet of Important Intermittent Stream E and 0.003 acre (75 linear feet)
of Unimportant Intermittent Stream D will be impacted for the flooding of the proposed pond.
Flooding of the pond will be accomplished by excavating upland areas immediately adjacent to
Streams D and E. This excavation will be performed outside of the streambeds, and will not
change the elevation of the stream channel. The remaining impacts are attributed to the flooding
of the proposed lake. All totaled, this plan impacts approximately 628 linear feet of Perennial
channel, 1,338 linear feet of Important Intermittent channel, 0.040 acre (864 linear feet) of
Unimportant Intermittent channel, and..0.006 acre of wetland area. Activities that will result in
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be required to follow the General Conditions of
Nationwide Permit No. 39 (Federal Register, Vol. 67, No. 10; January 15, 2002). Table 2 is a
summary of the proposed impacts.

t Since impacts to Perennial channels resulting from dam construction and rip rap placement
(78 linear feet) will be limited to less than 150 linear feet, this project will not require
' compensatory mitigation according to the NCDWQ's General Certification No. 3362 and recent
clarification, dated August 19, 2002. All other impacts to on-site Perennial channels will result
from the flooding of the proposed lake. These impacts from flooding do not count towards the
300 linear foot threshold for Nationwide Permit No. 39. A storm water management plan is not
' proposed for this project given the low-density nature of the development. Each home will be

Proposed Compensatory Mitigation
Due to the nature of these impacts, this project is proposing preservation of undisturbed stream
' channels and the maintenance of riparian buffers along undisturbed stream segments to mitigate
for the 78 linear feet of Perennial stream impacts. Impacts to Wetland DD (0.006 acre) will be
' mitigated by the creation of on-site wetlands along the shorelines of the proposed lake and pond.

IV. Prior Project History
A Nationwide Permit No. 14 (Action ID# 200230549) was previously issued for this project on
May 20, 2002 for a single road crossing. Since then the scope of the project was expanded to
include the construction of a 4.5-acre lake and 0.73-acre pond. On July 17, 2002, CWS
submitted a letter to the USACE on behalf of Frontier Land Surveying, requesting the
withdrawal of the previously issued Nationwide Permit No. 14. This permit application will
replace the previously submitted application, and includes impacts associated with the
construction of ponds.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
The site elan for this proiect has been developed to avoid iurisdictional features to the
maximum extent possible while still achieving the project's goal. Housing sites including
' attendant features) and the proposed lake and pond were designed to avoid the in ajorit?of
on-site wetlands, Streams C and F, and Pond A. This site plan avoids impacting 64% of on-
site Perennial channels, 27% of on-site Important Intermittent channels, 55% of Unimportant
Intermittent channels, 100% of jurisdictional open water, and 98% of on-site jurisdictional
wetlands. The majorily of impacts to Perennial and Important Intermittent channels do not
reauire mitigation because thev will be caused by flooding. See the attached report for more
details.
' VIII. Mitigation
1. Due to the nature of these impacts, this project is proposing preservation of undisturbed
' stream channel and the maintenance of riparian buffers along undisturbed stream segments to
mitigate for the 78 linear feet of Perennial stream impacts. Impacts to Wetland DD (0.006
acre) will be miti at?y the creation of on-site wetlands along the shorelines of the
' proposed lake and pond.
' 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
' reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
' process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at httn:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/wry/index.htm. If
Page 5 of 8
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:

Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
A storm water management Dlan is not Dronosed for this Droiect given the low-densitv nature of
the development. Each home will be situated on approximately one-acre parcels, therefore,
impervious area will be minimized. The proposed on-site pond and lake should perform storm
water treatment functions, thereby increasing the quality of downstream waters.
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Each home will have individual septic tanks.
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
Page 7 of 8
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
¦ It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
' choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
' Construction is scheduled to begin immediately following rpt of the appropriate permits.

' Dear Mr. Antemann:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or
' priority natural areas at the site nor within approximately 3/4- mile of the site. However, there
are numerous locations of rare plants along NC 75, due north of the project area. Both the
' Federally Endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) and the Federal
Candidate (and State Threatened) Georgia aster (Aster georgianus) have been found at several
sites along the wooded margins and mowed rights-of-ways along this highway:: Thus, it is
' certainly possible that these species could be present along wooded margins and old fields in the
project area. These species should be visible now (in leaf) and blooming'in the fall season - the
sunflower in September and October and the aster in October.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<www.ncsparks.net/nhp/search..html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant
' natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-715-8687 if you have questions or need further information.
