Applicant has proposed impacts to 621 linear feet of unimportant ( nonmitigatable) intermittent
channel and 59 linear feet of important (mitigatable) perennial cha nnel for the purposes of
constructing a residential subdivision. Impacts to the various chan nels are expected as a result of
site grading, detention pond excavation, and the construction of a road crossing Many of the
channels identified by the applicant's consultant did not have disce rnihle flow at the time of his visit

however. some degree of flow was noted in many of the channels ,
at the time of the R sit vi it
Since all of the channels to be impacted were found to be jurisdicti onal, the fact that flow existed in
some of the channels during the RO site visit (and didn't during the consultant's visit) may have little
bearing on up rading the rating of each channel as provided by th e applicant. (see next p?g?)

20-Acre Valleydale Road Site October 3, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0250
Executive Summary
The 20-Acre Valleydale Road Site is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the southeast
quadrant of the Valleydale Road - Lakehill Road intersection (Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2).
' This project will involve the development of approximately 20 acres of woodland into a
residential subdivision. Diversified Development Group, Inc. is the developer of 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 indicate that there are three
' jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A-C), one jurisdictional wetland area (Wetland AA), and
one non jurisdictional open water area (Pond A) located within the project limits
(Attachment A - Figure 3). On behalf of Diversified Development Group, Inc., 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 designed housing sites 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 82% of on-site Perennial channels, 100% of on-site Important Intermittent
channels, and 39% of on-site Unimportant Intermittent channels. Unavoidable impacts include
approximately 59 linear feet of Perennial channel, 0.043 acre (621 linear feet) of Unimportant
Intermittent channel, and 0.011 acre of jurisdictional wetlands. To mitigate for these impacts,
riparian buffers will be maintained along all undisturbed stream segments and wetland areas
created along the shorelines and littoral shelves of the proposed wet detention ponds.
20-Acre Valleydale Road Site October 3, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0250
Existing Conditions
The 20-Acre Valleydale Road Site is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the southeast
' quadrant of the Valleydale Road - Lakehill Road intersection (Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2).
The site is generally wooded and is dissected by a Colonial gas pipeline. This project will
involve the development of approximately 20 acres of woodland into a residential subdivision.
Diversified Development Group, Inc. is in charge of developing the land and has retained
Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for this project
' (Attachment B). On behalf of Diversified Development Group, Inc., 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 project area is generally comprised of mature woods and is divided by an open area within a
Colonial Gas pipeline right-of-way. Dominant canopy vegetation includes red maple
(Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), red cedar
' (Juniperus virginiana), and sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum). Dominant understory vegetation
includes Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), autumn
' olive (Eleagnus umbellata), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Virginia creeper
(Parthenocissus quinquefolia), and netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata). The current land use
I of the surrounding area is mostly residential.
' Jurisdictional Delineation and Verification
CWS's Gregg Antemann and Kip Kerecman delineated on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.' on
' August 14, 2001 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 Manuae. Routine On-site Data Forms representative of Wetland AA and adjacent
upland areas have been included as Attachment D. Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified
I
"Jurisdictional waters of the U.S." includes essentially all surface waters such as: all navigable waters and their tributaries, all
I interstate waters and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.

according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)3 and USACE guidance.
NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for
Streams A-C have been included as Attachments E and F.
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are three jurisdictional stream
channels (Streams A-C), one jurisdictional wetland area (Wetland AA), and one
non jurisdictional open water area (Pond A) located within the project limits
(Attachment A - Figure 3). On-site jurisdictional stream channels are unnamed tributaries to
Gum Branch. Gum Branch is located within the lower Catawba River basin (HU# 03050101)4
and is classified as "Class WS-IV" waters by the NCDWQ. This site is located within the
"Protective Area" of the upper Lake Wylie watershed. Perennial stream channels, which are
' defined as streams that appear on USGS topographic mapping as solid blue lines, typically
require stream buffers within this watershed. Stream buffers vary according to the type and
density of the planned development. Table 1 is a summary of on-site jurisdictional areas. A
surveyed Wetland Delineation (Wetland Boundary Survey) and Jurisdictional Determination
package were forwarded to the USACE on October 19, 2001. Mr. Steve Chapin of the USACE
verified the wetland delineation on November 9, 2001 (Action ID# 200230130).

Stream Classifications
Stream A begins as a wetland seep area (Wetland AA) and generally flows north across the site.
Approximately 0.04 acre (524 linear feet) of this channel appears to be Unimportant
Intermittent. This portion of Stream A exhibits weak stream substrate (coarse sand) and an
average ordinary high water width of two feet (Attachments E and F - SCP1). This stream rated
a 15.25 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form.
The Important Intermittent segment begins just beyond the Colonial Gas pipeline easement.
This portion of Stream A is approximately 195 linear feet in length, has channel substrate
consisting of coarse sand to cobble, and has a three to four foot average ordinary high water
width (Attachments E and F - SCP2). This portion of Stream A rated a 24 out of a possible 71
points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of the Important Intermittent
segment of Stream A has been included as Attachment G - Photograph A.
Stream A appears to become a Perennial channel shortly after its confluence with Stream C.
This portion of Stream A is approximately 328 linear feet in length and has channel substrate
consisting of coarse sand to boulders and has distinctive riffle and pool areas. Crayfish and
frogs were observed in the channel at the time of the investigation
(Attachments E and F - SCP3). This segment of Stream A scored 31 out of a possible 71
points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of the Perennial segment of
Stream A has been included as Attachment G - Photograph B.
Approximately 0.01 acre (116 linear feet) of Stream B occurs on site. This channel is classified
as Unimportant Intermittent based on its lack of significant substrate and flow. This channel has
an average ordinary high water width of two feet (Attachments E and F - SCP4). Stream B
scored 15 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form.
Stream C begins on-site and generally flows northeast across the site to its confluence with
Stream A. Stream C begins as an Unimportant Intermittent channel and runs for approximately
179 linear feet. This stream portion is less than 0.01 acre in size and has stable vegetated stream
banks and substrate consisting of coarse sand (Attachments E and F - SCP5). The Unimportant
Intermittent segment of Stream C rated a 15 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream
Classification Form.

The remaining on-site portion of this channel is approximately 253 linear feet in length and is
classified as Important Intermittent. This segment of Stream C exhibits strong sinuosity, weak
groundwater discharge, and stream substrate consisting of coarse sand to cobble
(Attachments E and F - SCP6). This segment of Stream C scored 26.5 out of a possible 71
points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form.
Wetlands
Wetland AA is a small seep wetland area that appears to be sustained through the presence of
groundwater discharge. This wetland is approximately 0.01 acre in size and is located
approximately 75 feet from the southeastern property boundary of the site. Dominant
hydrophytic vegetation includes netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata) and Japanese stilt
grass (Microstegium vimineum). Wetland AA also exhibits indicators of wetland hydrology and
hydric soils (Attachment D - DPI). A photograph of Wetland AA has been included as
Attachment G - Photograph C.
Ponds
Pond A is located on the northern side of the Colonial Gas pipeline clearing, near the northern
property boundary. Pond A is approximately 0.46 acre in size and is non jurisdictional based on
its lack of a clear jurisdictional surface water connection. The source of hydrology for this pond
appears to be groundwater. Almost the entire surface of the pond was covered in duckweed
(Lemna perpusilla) at the time of the investigation. A photograph of
Pond A has been included as Attachment G - Photograph D.

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on September 17, 2002,
to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, of archaeological significance
' that would be affected by the project. To date, no response has been received from SHPO.
' Protected Species
Letters were forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) and U.S. Fish
' and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on September 17, 2002, to determine the presence of any
federally-listed or candidate endangered or threatened species or critical habitat located within
the project area. To date, no response has been received from the NCNHP or USFWS.
t
Purpose and Need for the Project
This project will involve the development of approximately 20 acres of woodland into a high-
density residential subdivision. This subdivision is located close to existing city infrastructure
and will provide an opportunity for nearby residents to own a new home close to Charlotte. As
currently proposed, this site will provide 75 lots.

20-Acre Valleydale Road Site October 3, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0250
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, roads, and detention areas
were designed to avoid the majority of on-site Perennial and Important Intermittent stream
I channels.
Key elements of the avoidance and minimization strategy include:
t • Avoiding approximately 269 linear feet of Perennial stream (Stream A)
• Avoiding approximately 448 linear feet of Important Intermittent stream
(Streams A and C)
• Avoiding approximately 0.022 acre (318 linear feet) of Unimportant
Intermittent stream (Streams A and C)
In an effort to minimize impacts to on-site jurisdictional stream channels, approximately 3,786
square feet of retaining walls will be installed at a cost of $57,000. These retaining walls will
protect Intermittent and Perennial portions of Streams A and C from impacts associated with
road construction and adjacent site grading. This site plan avoids impacting 82% of on-site
Perennial channels, 100% of on-site Important Intermittent channels, and 39% of on-site
Unimportant Intermittent channels.

Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
The proposed development of the 20-Acre Valleydale Road Site 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 H - Figure 4.
Approximately 0.031 acre (445 linear feet) of Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will be
impacted for site grading, detention pond excavation, and the construction of a road crossing.
Approximately 59 linear feet of Perennial Stream A and 0.004 acre (60 linear feet) of
Unimportant Intermittent Stream C will be impacted for the construction of two additional road
crossings. Approximately 0.008 acre (116 linear feet) of Unimportant Intermittent Stream B will
be impacted for the excavation of a wet detention pond. The road crossing of Perennial Stream
A will be buried according to the Wilmington District regional conditions for NWP No. 39
Approximately 0.011 acre of Wetland AA will be impacted for site grading in the southeast
corner of the site. All totaled, this plan impacts approximately 59 linear feet of Perennial
channel, 0.043 acre (621 linear feet) of Unimportant Intermittent channel, and 0.011 acre of
jurisdictional wetlands. The site plan also proposes to fill non jurisdictional Pond A (0.457 acre)
to allow for construction of a road and housing pads. 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.

Proposed Compensatory Mitigation
Due to the limited 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 59 linear feet of Perennial stream impacts. Impacts to Wetland AA (0.011 acre)
will be mitigated by the creation of on-site wetlands along the shorelines and littoral shelves of
the proposed wet detention ponds.
° Acreage of Unimportant Intermittent streams was calculated using three-foot average ordinary high water width.

Storm Water Management Plan
' To compensate for the loss of approximately 0.47 acre of ponds and wetlands, two wet detention
' ponds will be created to treat storm water runoff. The two detention ponds will be 0.22 and 0.12
acre in size. Vegetated littoral shelves capable of removing a variety of surface water pollutants
' will be created along the slopes of the wet detention ponds. The shelves will have shallow slopes
and provide adequate zones for the establishment of wetland vegetation. The proposed wet
' detention ponds are expected to exceed the water quality function of the current wetland and
open water areas by providing increased flood attenuation, establishing native vegetation, and
providing an increased ability to filter storm water. Specific details of the Storm Water
Management Plan are being finalized by the site designer (Turnbull Sigmon Design). The ponds
are expected to have approximately 33,705 cubic feet of permanent pool water storage capacity.

Page 4 of 8

' VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
The site plan for this project has been developed to avoid jurisdictional features to the maximum
t extent possible while still achieving the project's goal. Housing sites, roads, and detention areas
were designed to avoid the majority of on-site Perennial and Important Intermittent stream
channels. In an effort to minimize impacts to on-site jurisdictional stream channels,
' approximately 3,785 square feet of retaining walls will be installed at a cost of $57,000. These
retaining walls will protect Intermittent and Perennial portions of Streams A and C from impacts
associated with road construction and adjacent site grading. This site plan avoids impacting 82%
' of on-site Perennial channels, 100% of on-site Important Intermittent channels, and 39% of on-
site Unimportant Intermittent channels. See the attached report for more details.
VIII. Mitigation
' 1. Due to the limited nature of these impacts, this project is aroposing -preservation of
undisturbed stream channels and the maintenance of riparian buffers along undisturbed
stream seg_m.ents to mitigate for the 59 linear feet of Perennial stream impacts. impacts to
' Wetland AA (0.011 acre) will be mitigated by the creation of on-site wetlands along the
shorelines and littoral shelves of the proposed wet detention ponds.
' 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 h=://h2o.enr.state.nc.uL/m=/index.htm. If
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

IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
' Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
land?
' Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
' requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
' Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? . No ?
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.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify: Upper Lake Wylie - "Protective
Area" )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers. N/A

If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0260.
Road Crossings are exempt from the Upper Lake Wylie Watershed "Protective Area" buffer
regulations.
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.
To compensate for the loss of gMroximately 0.47 acre of ponds and wetlands two wet detention ponds
will be created to treat storm water runoff. The two detention ponds will be 2.20 and 0.12 acres in size
Vegetated littoral shelves capable of removing a variety of surface water pollutants will be created along
the slopes of the wet detention ponds The shelves will have shallow slopes and provide adequate zones
for the establishment of wetland vegetation The proposed wet detention ponds are expected to exceed
the water auahty function of the current wetland and open water areas by providing increased flood
attenuation, establishing native vegetation and providing an increased ability to filter storm water.
Specific details of the Storm Water Management Plan are being finalized by the site designer
(Turnbull Sigmon Design) The ponds are expected to have approximately 33,705 cubic feet of
permanent pool water storage capacity.
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.
Public sanitary sewer system
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 Z
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).
' This project will begin as soon as permit is received.
