Dorney Wetlands Unit Supervisor NC Div. of Water Quality 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1621 Dear Mr. Dorney: WETLANDS 1401 GROUP MAY 12 2004 WAFER QUALITY SEC110N Aoza--' \`? Thank you again for the very pleasant discussion regarding our need to amend the conservation easement and your agreement to allow us to do so. As we discussed, the amendment is required to correct an error in the legal description of the intended preservation area. The amendment will change the description from one describing our entire camp property to a description that accurately reflects the preserved buffers around the lake and streams described in our USACE permit application. I am attaching a copy of a letter we received from the US Army Corps of Engineers in which they agreed to the amendment. Please let me know immediately if the above does not conform to your understanding of our discussion.

As discussed, this preliminary Mitigation Plan suffices the initial requirements for the permit process and is a first step toward compensating impacts to jurisdictional streams and wetlands within the project area. A more detailed Mitigation Plan will be completed in the near future following issuance of the 404/401 permits for the project impacts. The enclosed stream data from tributary-2 to Polecat Creek (see enclosed site plan map) reflects a compilation of data collected from scientists previously involved with the Victory Junction Gang project site as well as GreenVest and WESI scientists. Tributary- 2 to Polecat Creek generally flows south and east of the proposed camp as indicated on the associated site plan. Data includes existing condition information on the proposed enhancement/restoration reach, reference reach data, and proposed channel data. Proposed channel data is subject to change prior to final plan design and approval. Data provided from previous scientists includes current enhancement/restoration reach information. As discussed with regulatory agencies, the Mitigation Plan will include the enhancement/restoration of 280 if of stream (tributary-2). Stream enhancement/restoration work will include enhancing/restoring the dimension, pattern, and profile of approximately 280 if of a historically impacted tributary to Polecat Creek as required by NCDWQ. This tributary (tributary-2) is located on the Victory Junction Gang Camp property. Stream work will include bank stabilization, installation of stream structures (root-wad j-hook combinations and rock vanes), and the creation of bankfull benches within highly eroded areas. Specialized Consulting and Research In addition, the Plan will include the preservation of approximately 1,985.5 if of tributaries to Polecat Creek; including the preservation of Polecat Creek (one side) associated within the project property boundaries. Also, required by regulatory agencies to satisfy mitigation requirements, a minimum 50 ft minimum buffer will be implemented along all preservation/enhancement/restoration stream reaches including the proposed 7- acre lake. The total distance around the proposed lake is 3,313 if (-3.8 acres w/ 50 ft. buffer). Minor activities such as nature trails, fishing docks and landscape maintenance within the required buffer areas will be subject to regulatory approval and defined in detail within the Final Mitigation Plan. The Final Mitigation Plan will include existing condition survey data, CAD site plans, proposed channel data with CAD site plan, typical cross sections (riffle, run, pool, and glide), stream structure details, erosion and sediment control plan, erosion control details, and vegetative planting plan. Included with the vegetative planting plan will be details outlining the removal of invasive and competing species within the project area to include but not limited to Ligustrum sinense (Chinese privet). A potential recipient of the easement for the Mitigation Project has been identified. The Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation has agreed to hold all easements associated with the preservation/enhancement/restoration reaches, as well as the proposed lake buffer. Additional information about the foundation can be viewed at http://www.thewardburtonwildlifefoundation.orql. Following Final Mitigation Plan approval, enhancement/restoration construction will commence within a set period of time set forth by regulatory agencies. Monitoring requirements for this project will also adhere to criteria set forth by regulating agencies. We look forward to working with you all in seeing the successful completion of this stream enhancement/restoration project with the issuance of the 404/401 permits for the Victory Junction Gang Camp project.

NOV sent to all landowners on December 13, 2001. Response received December 27, 2001. They plan to move forward with their plans to apply for an Individual Permit/Certification for creating a 10-acre lake, road crossings and tunnel. Central Office (Todd, Dave, Danny, Cyndi) staff need to be aware of this in-coming application/public notice and the fact that this site is currently in violation of several WQ standards/regulations). Todd St. John performed site visit on January 9, 2001 for the purpose of evaluating potential mitigation sites. DWQ will require mitigation for the dam fill/road crossing/tunnel combination (>150 LF). If Permit/Certification is denied, all impacted stream length and wetland acreage must be restored to Division satisfaction. Page 3 of 3 NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500 to Richard and Lynda Petty, resulting in the discharge of fill into 0.2 acre of wetlands, the discharge of fill into 280 linear feet of Polecat Creek, and flooding of 2,150 linear feet of Polecat Creek associated with the proposed construction of the Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randolph County, North Carolina, pursuant to an application filed on 8th day of February of 2002. The application provides adequate assurance that the fill and flooding of waters of the Polecat Creek in conjunction with the proposed work will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application and as described in the Public Notice. If you change your project, you must notify us and send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. Should wetland or stream fill be requested in the future, additional compensatoryn*igation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Solid Waste, Sediment and Erosion control, Non-discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Conditions of Certification: 1. That the activity be conducted in such manner as to prevent significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction related discharge (50 NTU's in streams and rivers not designated as trout waters by DWQ; 25 NTU's in all saltwater classes, and all lakes and reservoirs; 10 NTU's in trout waters); 2. All temporary fill shall be removed to the original grade after construction is complete and the site shall be stabilized to prevent erosion; 3. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) compensatory mitigation is required for stream impacts. 280 linear feet of perennial stream mitigation is required at a 1:1 ratio. Plans and specifications for the stream channel enhancement or restoration shall be submitted to and approved in writing by this Office before impacts associated with the dam construction occur. The stream mitigation shall be designed according to the guidance provided in NC DENR's The Internal Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, Apra 2001 and The Interim, Internal Stream Mitigation and Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Policy which can be found at http:Hh2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/restore.html. The stream mitigation shall be butt accon:fing to the approved plans before any permanent building on the site is occupied. If the sh-e m rnitigation becomes unstable, the stream shall be repaired or stabilized using only natural channel design techniques. Rip rap and other hard structures may only be used as - temporary repairs if required by the Division of Land Resources or Delegated Local Program. Additionally, all repair designs must be submitted to and receive written approval from this Office before the repair work is performed- The stream mitigation shall be preserved in perpetuity through an easement or some other legally bang mechanism. The above easement or other legally binding mechanism must be in place before any permanent building associated with the project is occupied; 4. Waste or borrow shall not be located in streams or wetlands; 5. The enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" is to be used to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed.

I .1:o AV- Individual Permit Application Supplement Victory Junction Gang Camp Purpose and Need of Proposed Lake Many of the children coming to a Hole in the Wall Gang (HITWG) camp have never ventured far from home or medical institutions, much less camped in a wilderness setting. For these children, a summer session at one of the HITWG camps may be the only chance to have such an experience in their lifetime. For ill or disabled children, water activities are the great equalizer. Physically challenged children using specially equipped boats can feel like normal, healthy children on the water. For them, boating and fishing are activities most often associated with having fun, being healthy and going to camp. Boating and fishing are also two of the required camp program offerings to meet HITGW standards. The HITWG site manual states that, in reviewing the site, "boating and fishing are some of the most popular activities at camp, so a viable source of water is important." The manual also notes that the lake should support "canoes, paddleboats and rafts". Victory Junction's boating program will consist of rowboats, a pontoon boat (for wheelchairs), kayaks, canoes and "Huck Finn" rafts. Many of the watercraft will be specially designed for handicapped accessibility. It is noteworthy that each of the other domestic HITWG camps has access to or has developed lakes much larger than the one proposed for Victory Junction: • Boggy Creek Gang (Florida): 2 lakes over 10 acres in size • Hole in the Wall Gang (Connecticut): 40-acre lake • Painted Turtle (California): 27-acre lake • Hole in the Woods (New York): access to Lake Vanare (area not available) Each weeklong summer camp session will consist of 100 to 125 children representing a single disease group. During the remaining months, the camp will operate family weekends, sibling sessions and special programs for smaller disease groups. Regardless of the type of session, the children and/or families are divided into units. They are assigned to activities by units, and a one-on-one counselor assists each camper. A typical unit is approximately 20 to 30 children. Thus, any activity must be able to accommodate up to 30 children, plus an additional 30 counselors. Assuming half the campers and counselors are fishing and half the campers and counselors are boating, with 2 persons per boat, the lake needs to accommodate at least 15 boats at a time. Several agencies were contacted about water safety issues and the capacity of a proposed lake to support water recreation activities. Among those contacted were the US Coast Guard, US Army Corps of Engineers Planning Branch, NC Wildlife Resource Commission (state boat law administrators) Engineering and Enforcement branches, Greensboro Parks and Recreation, Hanging Rock State Park, North Carolina State University Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department, American Canoe Association, and the National Safe Boating Council. A comment made by several of the agencies is that the shape of a lake can be a limiting factor. Long, linear lakes have less carrying capacity than circular lakes. Moreover, the boating experience quality is limited in narrow channels (narrow channel is 300 feet wide or less). 2/13/2002 1 EcoLogic Associates Individual Permit Application Supplement Victory Junction Gang Camp A summary of the pertinent criteria for recreational boating on small lakes is as follows: 1) It is common practice for boating instructors to teach in groups of 5 to 10 boats at a time, using a minimum of 3 acres of lake to practice paddling maneuvers; 2) Safety zones limit usable paddling space. These safety zones, ranging from 50 to 100 feet, are established to keep boaters away from active spillways and fishing piers; 3) Maneuvering room and safe boating are compromised in waters 200 feet wide or less; and 4) Based on policies governing safe boat use on other small water bodies, a single, non-motorized boat such as a canoe or rowboat requires at least 0.5 acre of space. Motorboats require substantially more area. As a point of reference, Hanging Rock State Park in Stokes County allows a maximum of 18 boats (10 rowboats, 8 canoes) on their 12-acre lake at one time. At Hagan Stone Park in Greensboro, a maximum of 15 paddleboats operate on a 12 to 15-acre lake at one time. The proposed lake at Victory Junction Gang Camp is 7.8 acres, of which 7.0 acres are on camp property and available for recreational boating and fishing by campers. This lake can marginally support 15 non-motorized boats at a time. It is therefore barely adequate for the proposed use, particularly after setting aside safety zones around the fishing pier and principal spillway. Any reduction in pond area would create unsafe boating conditions. Avoidance and Minimization Alternative dam/pond designs and locations considered for Victory Junction Gang Camp include the following (see attached location sheets): Alternative 1: This alternative was located on adjacent property on a perennial stream flowing to Polecat Creek as shown on Figure 1. This stream provides the best source of water for a lake with a drainage area of approximately one (1) square mile. However, during preliminary project planning, it was determined that this alternative would cause significant environmental impacts to the stream and associated wetlands. The lake would be long and narrow (roughly 3,200 feet long by 200 to 600 feet wide) and impact over 3,000 linear feet of the perennial stream. Consequently, this alternative was rejected. Alternative 2: This on-site alternative, shown on Figure 2, avoids the perennial stream and minimizes the size of the dam on the unimportant intermittent stream, but the surface area of the resulting lake is only 1.7 acres and shaped like a narrow finger (roughly 630 feet long by 100 feet wide.) Such a long, narrow lake would severely limit the type and number of boats used in the camp program. Boating on this lake would be limited to two paddling lanes, one in each direction. The pontoon boat would be unusable on this lake. This lake cannot support boating activities for one unit of campers; therefore, it is too small to satisfy the purpose and need of the lake. Another problem with this alternative is that it lacks a reliable source of water, relying primarily on stormwater runoff. This raises concerns about low dissolved oxygen levels for fish. If supplemental water is used, it would also be low in dissolved oxygen. Lastly, due to the shape of the valley, shallow water habitat would be limited, limiting the variety of habitat for fish. 2/13/2002 2 EcoLogic Associates A? Individual Permit Application Supplement Victory Junction Gang Camp Alternative 3: This option avoids the perennial stream and maximizes the size of the lake on the unimportant intermittent stream as shown in Figure 2. This design, at 3.3 acres (roughly 850 feet long by 200 feet wide), has problems similar to alternative 2. It is long and narrow, which limits the types and number of boats as well as the value of the boating experience. The majority of the lake in this alternative qualifies as a narrow channel. Safety zones around the active spillway and the fishing pier would further limit usable boating space. A pontoon boat would be limited to a single travel lane and its ability to turn would be compromised. For safety reasons, other boats could not be in use while the pontoon boat was in operation. A 3.3-acre lake is too small to support the stated purpose of the lake. Such a lake would also suffer from low dissolved oxygen levels as discussed above for alternative 2. In addition to pond and dam impacts on the intermittent stream, alternatives 2 and 3 would also create impacts to the perennial stream by necessitating a separate road crossing to access the main camp. A culverted road crossing would have a footprint similar in size to the footprint of the proposed dam (alternative 4) in order to match grades and reduce road slopes so that emergency vehicles can access the camp village. Alternative 4: This alternative, shown in Figure 3, was submitted with the DA Individual Permit application. The 7.8-acre lake was selected because it does not impact a stream that flows year round and it satisfies the purpose and need of the lake. This alternative minimizes stream impacts. It affects less than half the length of a significantly smaller perennial stream as alternative 1. Furthermore, the lake is wide enough and large enough to support a motorized pontoon boat. It also has enough room for groups of campers to engage in boating lessons and to maneuver their boats without interfering with other paddlers or infringing on the safety zones around the fishing pier and the principal spillway. The location of the boathouse is ideal for seeing the entire lake, an important safety consideration. The size of the lake and the variety of shallow and deep habitat will help ensure that fish will have the conditions required to thrive. Furthermore, due to inflow from the perennial stream, aeration is not a concern. 2/13/2002 3 EcoLogic Associates Y IC-'O,i .Jun c? ton Gowv QJ?YVIp J I D0.vrt Ai4f-'ru-tilv?'e- I --- 'an, r,n It or DO.rO_vtn%4& J S+rca- ri irviOQCt?s 3-D TopoQuads Copyright ®1999 DeLorme Yarmouth, ME 04096 Source Data: USGS 1 450 It Scale: 1: 12,000 Detail: 14-1 Datum: W GS84 FIGURE 1 W ? lea ?/ ? 710 o 'I l?

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. The proposed project consists of the development of a camp facility to provide camping experiences free of charge for critically and chronically ill children. A primary feature of the camp is a proposed 7.8 acre lake, with a 75 acre drainage area. Development of the lake includes the construction of a dam that would result in the fill of approximately 280 linear feet of perennial stream channel. Plans submitted with the permit request show impacts to jurisdictional waters caused by dam construction and impounded water are 1,270 linear feet of perennial stream channel, 1,160 linear feet of intermittent stream channel, and 0.2 acre of wetlands. The project property and the surrounding watershed consist of agricultural land, forest, and rural development. Site inspections conducted on November 28, 2001, showed that mechanized landclearing and grading of the proposed pond basin have already occurred. These activities have resulted in tree stumps and fill being placed into approximately 0.2 acre of wetlands, 1,270 linear feet of perennial stream channel, and 1,160 linear feet of intermittent stream channel. These activities, conducted in waters of the United States without authorization by a Department of the Army (DA) permit, are violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1311). The applicant has agreed to cease and desist any further work in jurisdictional waters of the United States pending DA permit authorization. The project's purpose and need is to develop a 7.8 acres lake for a camp facility to provide camping experiences free of charge for critically and chronically ill children. The existence of a lake is one of the requirements for all camps modeled after the "Hole in the Wall Gang Camp" for critically and chronically ill children. The lake will be stocked and used primarily for recreational fishing and boating. It will also serve as a visual amenity for the camp. I The applicant included a proposed compensatory mitigation plan with the permit request. The plan provides restoration of approximately 1600 linear feet stream channel downstream of the proposed lake. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. A copy of this public notice can be viewed on our web page at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished by the applicant and onsite observation, that the activity will not affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts, which the proposed activity may have on the public interest, requires a careful weighing of all those factors, which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits, which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors, which may be relevant to the proposal, must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, 2 c recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Wetland/401 Unit, 1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621, on or before March 04, 2002, Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. John Thomas, until 4:15 p.m., March 11, 2002, or telephone (919) 876-8441, Extension 25. 3 h RANDLEMAN QUADRANGLE RESOURCES NORTH CAROLINA- RANDOLPH CO.` + S 7.5 MINUTE SERIES (TOPOGRAPHIC) GREfN56Cf7L" !?

Victory Junction Gang Camp Individual Permit Application Block 18: Nature of Activity Victory Junction Gang Camp will provide camping experiences free of charge to 120 critically and chronically ill children in weeklong camp sessions in the summer months and weekend retreats in the spring and fall months. The attached site map shows the proposed camp layout. The primary water feature at Victory Junction Gang Camp is a proposed 7.8-acre lake, with a 75-acre drainage area. The proposed dam is to be constructed of compacted earth. Dam dimensions are as follows: 34 feet from the top of the dam to the downstream toe of the embankment; 2:1 slopes on upstream embankment, 3:1 slopes on downstream embankment; crest width 40 feet, crest length approximately 280 feet. Campers will access the camp village by a road on the downstream side of the dam core; emergency vehicles will have access via a road along the dam crest. A bridge and a culvert will be constructed for the main access drive, which runs north along the west property boundary from Fred Lineberry Road. A boat dock and fishing pavilion will be constructed on the east side of the lake, supported by piers and floats. The only access to the lake for campers will be via the boat dock/fishing pavilion. A wooded buffer, at least 100 feet wide in most places, will surround the remainder of the lake except at the dam, bridge, and culvert crossings. The lake will be stocked and used primarily for recreational fishing and boating. It will also serve as a visual amenity for the camp. A littoral shelf will be constructed around most of the lake on camp property to improve water safety, create shallow water habitat, and increase aquatic biodiversity. The footprint of the dam will impact approximately 230 feet of a perennial stream channel (as defined by USACE staff on November 28, 2001). A riprap energy dissipater will affect an estimated 50 feet of additional stream channel. Total impacts to jurisdictional waters caused by dam construction and impounded water are 1,270 linear feet of perennial stream channel, 1,160 linear feet of intermittent stream channel, and 0.2 acres of wetlands (as determined by Todd Tugwell of the USACE Raleigh Regulatory Field Office on November 28, 2001). 1/21/2002 EcoLogic Associates 336-855-8108 Victory Junction Gang Camp Individual Permit Application Avoidance and Minimization: The project architect, in preparing the master plan, studied several sites before laying out the camp at its present location. Richard and Lynda Petty donated land for the camp to Victory Junction Gang Camp, Inc. Originally, the pond was proposed to be located on a significant perennial tributary to Polecat Creek (downstream of the current location). The architect believed there would be significant environmental impacts caused by locating the dam on this second-order stream, so he examined all available property for an alternate site for the dam. The current location is the result of examining nearly 500 acres of Petty property in Randolph County. The proposed dam and pond is located high in the watershed, below the confluence of what water resources consultant EcoLogic Associates classified as an important intermittent stream and an ephemeral stream. The hydrology at the dam site is so poor that, according to feasibility studies by project consultants, supplementary water will be required to fill the pond. The dam is located approximately 250 feet upstream of two wetlands, one of which coincides with an old stone spring box that served as a water supply for a farmhouse on the site. EcoLogic Associates believes the spring to be where the perennial stream classification begins. This area, richest in biological diversity, will be protected with a conservation easement below the dam. The dam will provide access to the camp from the Welcome Pavilion on the west side of the property. (see site plan.) The dam crest elevation ties into the natural grade on the abutments to minimize road sag, thereby improving traffic safety across the structure. The resulting impoundment at design normal pool (EL 696.0) has a surface area of 7.0 acres on camp property and 0.8 acres on Richard and Lynda Petty's adjacent property on the west. A sensitivity analysis that related normal pool elevation to stream and wetland impacts showed that lowering the pond's water surface elevation 4 feet reduces surface area by 29 percent but only reduces the impact to the important stream by 7 percent. If the water level is reduced 8 feet, the lake's surface area is halved, but this only reduces the impact to the important stream by 19 percent. The lake has been designed to accommodate all of its proposed uses and ecological functions. First, a littoral shelf will be incorporated around the majority of the lake on camp property to create shallow water habitat and for safety purposes. Second, there must be enough area on the lake for simultaneous use of the fishing pier and boating activities. There will be several types of boats used on the lake, including a pontoon boat. The pontoon boat, which allows wheelchair-bound campers access to recreational opportunities on the lake, requires significant space to maneuver. Thus, the lake is sized to accommodate the varied boating needs, the littoral shelf, and fishing activities. Based on the process of site selection and master planning, designing to minimize stream impacts, designing for safe access to the camp and multiple recreational uses including fishing and boating for campers, and creating shallow water habitat, the camp has maximized proposed benefits while minimizing environmental impacts. 1/21/2002 EcoLogic Associates 336-855-8108 Vicini ?.?

RECENT SITE HISTORY RELATIVE TO WATER QUALITY PERMITTING Victory Junction Gang Camp Level Cross, Randolph County, North Carolina EcoLogic staff first visited the VJGC site in September 2001 to identify and delineate wetlands on site. None were noted within the proposed impact areas. During a subsequent field visit in October, Ecologic classified the streams within the impact area as important intermittent and ephemeral. This work was done in preparation for seeking 404/401 permits. On November 28, 2001, at the invitation of VJGC and EcoLogic Associates, staff from the US Army Corps of Engineers, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office and NC Division of Water Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office visited the site to verify stream classifications prior to preparing water quality permits. At that time, Todd Tugwell classified the streams in the impact area as perennial and unimportant intermittent. The stream channels were dry during all our site visits from September 2001 until January 9, 2002, which is the most recent site visit date. Prior to the November site visit, some stumps were grubbed and erosion and sedimentation control devices were installed causing impacts to the intermittent and ephemeral streams, hence, the regulatory violations. The grading contractor, who was donating his services to the camp, was unaware of potential permitting requirements for the on-site streams. He understood, correctly, that the pond area contained no wetlands, but he was unaware of pending stream issues. During site preparation, trees located within the proposed pond limit were cleared, but the surrounding landscape was left natural to serve as a wooded buffer for the pond. Stumps were grubbed in the upper six (6) feet of the pond so they would not interfere with boating activities. The stumps were either piled and burned or pushed to a lower elevation to serve as fish habitat. The cleared and grubbed upper elevations were seeded and now have a well-established, evenly distributed grass cover. Below the grubbed area, vegetated, swales and temporary sediment traps were installed to control erosion and sedimentation damage downstream of the proposed dam. This work was required, permitted and approved by the NC Division of Land Quality, Winston- Salem Regional Office. 1/21/02 EcoLogic Associates, P.C.

Victory Junction Gang Camp Individual Permit Application Block 18: Nature of Activity Victory Junction Gang Camp will provide camping experiences free of charge to 120 critically and chronically ill children in weeklong camp sessions in the summer months and weekend retreats in the spring and fall months. The attached site map shows the proposed camp layout. The primary water feature at Victory Junction Gang Camp is a proposed 7.8-acre lake, with a 75-acre drainage area. The proposed dam is to be constructed of compacted earth. Dam dimensions are as follows: 34 feet from the top of the dam to the downstream toe of the embankment; 2:1 slopes on upstream embankment, 3:1 slopes on downstream embankment; crest width 40 feet, crest length approximately 280 feet. Campers will access the camp village by a road on the downstream side of the dam core; emergency vehicles will have access via a road along the dam crest. A bridge and a culvert will be constructed for the main access drive, which runs north along the west property boundary from Fred Lineberry Road. A boat dock and fishing pavilion will be constructed on the east side of the lake, supported by piers and floats. The only access to the lake for campers will be via the boat dock/fishing pavilion. A wooded buffer, at least 100 feet wide in most places, will surround the remainder of the lake except at the dam, bridge, and culvert crossings. The lake will be stocked and used primarily for recreational fishing and boating. It will also serve as a visual amenity for the camp. A littoral shelf will be constructed around most of the lake on camp property to improve water safety, create shallow water habitat, and increase aquatic biodiversity. The footprint of the dam will impact approximately 230 feet of a perennial stream channel (as defined by USACE staff on November 28, 2001). A riprap energy dissipater will affect an estimated 50 feet of additional stream channel. Total impacts to jurisdictional waters caused by dam construction and impounded water are 1,270 linear feet of perennial stream channel, 1,160 linear feet of intermittent stream channel, and 0.2 acres of wetlands (as determined by Todd Tugwell of the USACE Raleigh Regulatory Field Office on November 28, 2001). 1/21/2002 EcoLogic Associates 336-855-8108 Victory Junction Gang Camp Individual Permit Application Avoidance and Minimization: The project architect, in preparing the master plan, studied several sites before laying out the camp at its present location. Richard and Lynda Petty donated land for the camp to Victory Junction Gang Camp, Inc. Originally, the pond was proposed to be located on a significant perennial tributary to Polecat Creek (downstream of the current location). The architect believed there would be significant environmental impacts caused by locating the dam on this second-order stream, so he examined all available property for an alternate site for the dam. The current location is the result of examining nearly 500 acres of Petty property in Randolph County. The proposed dam and pond is located high in the watershed, below the confluence of what water resources consultant EcoLogic Associates classified as an important intermittent stream and an ephemeral stream. The hydrology at the dam site is so poor that, according to feasibility studies by project consultants, supplementary water will be required to fill the pond. The dam is located approximately 250 feet upstream of two wetlands, one of which coincides with an old stone spring box that served as a water supply for a farmhouse on the site. EcoLogic Associates believes the spring to be where the perennial stream classification begins. This area, richest in biological diversity, will be protected with a conservation easement below the dam. The dam will provide access to the camp from the Welcome Pavilion on the west side of the property. (see site plan.) The dam crest elevation ties into the natural grade on the abutments to minimize road sag, thereby improving traffic safety across the structure. The resulting impoundment at design normal pool (EL 696.0) has a surface area of 7.0 acres on camp property and 0.8 acres on Richard and Lynda Petty's adjacent property on the west. A sensitivity analysis that related normal pool elevation to stream and wetland impacts shoved that lowering the pond's water surface elevation 4 feet reduces surface area by 29 percent but only reduces the impact to the important stream by 7 percent. If the water level is reduced 8 feet, the lake's surface area is halved, but this only reduces the impact to the important stream by 19 percent. The lake has been designed to accommodate all of its proposed uses and ecological functions. First, a littoral shelf will be incorporated around the majority of the lake on camp property to create shallow water habitat and for safety purposes. Second, there must be enough area on the lake for simultaneous use of the fishing pier and boating activities. There will be several types of boats used on the lake, including a pontoon boat. The pontoon boat, which allows wheelchair-bound campers access to recreational opportunities on the lake, requires significant space to maneuver. Thus, the lake is sized to accommodate the varied boating needs, the littoral shelf, and fishing activities. Based on the process of site selection and master planning, designing to minimize stream impacts, designing for safe access to the camp and multiple recreational uses including fishing and boating for campers, and creating shallow water habitat, the camp has maximized proposed benefits while minimizing environmental impacts. 1/21/2002 Ecologic Associates 336-855-8108 vic;h; -.l Ma.F 74 1I +2113 VNE9ERRY RO.

Fullwood, Executive Director TO: Melba McGee of Legislative Intergovernmental Affairs ?-- FROM: Danielle R. Pen er, Piedmont Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: 5 March 2002 SUBJECT: Public Notice for Richard and Lynda Petty, Victory Junction Gang Camp, Inc. for a camp facility for critically and chronically ill children, Randolph County, North Carolina. Action ID No. 200220199 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject document. A site visit was conducted by NCWRC biologists on 25 February 2002 to further assess impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). Prior to our site visit, significant impacts had already occurred within the associated stream channels and wetlands. The applicant has agreed to postpone any further work within jurisdictional waters until all applicable permits are issued. The applicant proposes to discharge fill material into 280 linear feet (If) of perennial stream channel for dam construction associated with a 7.8 acre impoundment to be utilized for camp fishing and boating activities, which will provide free of charge camping experiences for critically and chronically ill children. Additionally 1,2701f of perennial stream channel, 1,160 if of intermittent stream channel, and 0.2 acres of wetlands will be flooded by the 7.8-acre impoundment. All impacted water bodies flow into Polecat Creek, a tributary of the Deep River. There are records for the existence of federal and state listed species in the Deep River, including the federally and state endangered Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas) and the federal species of concern and state threatened yellow lampmussel (Lampsilis cariosa). The applicant provided an application supplement, which included three alternative analyses that illustrated avoidance and minimization of impacts. In addition, the applicant submitted a proposed mitigation plan that would restore approximately 1,600 if of stream channel along Polecat creek downstream of the proposed lake. Stream restoration would occur approximately 50 yards upstream of the confluence of the impacted streams and Polecat Creek on the adjacent property. The applicant indicated that the restored stream and the riparian area would be placed in a permanent deed for use by the camp. The applicant also indicated that the unnamed tributary flowing from the dam to Polecat Creek would remain unaltered and impacts along the adjacent proposed impoundment shoreline would remain as natural as possible. We are pleased that the applicant plans to incorporate a littoral shelf along the proposed shoreline. Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 • Fax: (919) 715-7643 Page 2 5 March 2002 Victory Junction Gang Camp Action ID No. 200220199 This littoral shelf should provide increased areas for uptake of nutrients by plants, as well as provide additional fish and wildlife habitat. We are concerned with the permanent impacts to jurisdictional streams and wetlands. Our preference would be that the streams and associated wetlands on the project site not be impounded. Streams provide important habitat and have inherent aesthetic, recreational, and educational value. Impounding these aquatic resources will remove their natural functionality and will likely result in vegetation shifts and water quality modification with concomitant changes in wildlife and fish species compositions. However, we do not object to the proposed project provided that the following conditions are incorporated into the permit to reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources. In our opinion, given the location of the proposed lake and the location of the known occupied habitat of the Cape Fear shiner, yellow lampmussel, and other rare mussel species in the Deep River, and provided that the following conditions are incorporated, impacts to these rare species should be minimized. 1. Stream impacts total 2,4301f, yet proposed mitigation totals 1,600 if. Perennial and intermittent streams are obviously interconnected, and headwater streams can significantly reduce nutrient export to rivers (Peterson et al. 2001), and therefore, are instrumental in protecting downstream water quality. We request that the applicant be required to fully mitigate for total stream impacts due to the significant effects that will result in the aquatic and terrestrial community. 2. We have concerns about the effects on downstream flows and aquatic habitat. We recommend that flow releases maintain the natural, instream flow volumes downstream of the dam. 3. Remaining wetlands and streams on the site should be protected from additional impacts by placing them in a permanent conservation easement to prohibit filling, draining, flooding, and excavation. 4. We recommend a minimum 100-foot undisturbed, forested buffer along the lake. A minimum 100-foot undisturbed, forested buffer should be maintained along all perennial streams, and a minimum 50-foot forested buffer should be maintained along all intermittent streams and wetland within the project area. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources, water quality, aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area, and help prevent the extirpation of endangered and threatened species. In addition, wide riparian buffers are helpful in maintaining stability of stream banks and for treatment of pollutants associated with urban stormwater. 5. We recommend that the stream restoration process involve restoring as much of the natural geomorphic dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream as possible and that bioengineering methods are utilized. 6. Trails constructed of natural material are preferred. No new hardened surfaces should be added except where such surfaces are needed to prevent an adverse environmental impact (e.g., erosion) that cannot be corrected by more environmentally friendly means. Bark mulches and other porous natural materials are preferred for erosion control. Page 3 5 March 2002 Victory Junction Gang Camp Action ID No. 200220199 7. Grassed swales should be used instead of curb and gutter for conveyance, and water from parking lots and buildings should be sheet flowed into grassed swales or routed to bio- retention areas, also referred to as rain gardens. If parking lots are to be landscaped, we request these be designed as bio-retention areas instead of raised islands. We encourage the applicant to consider the use of porous pavement materials instead of asphalt for parking areas and the access roads. These materials would further encourage infiltration of storm water. Stormwater ponds could be developed as wet detention ponds or as rain garden ponds without having to dam the wetland.and stream. If stormwater ponds are required and approved, trees and shrubs should be planted around and on the upper third of the detention structure, excluding the dam. They should provide habitat benefits that could offset those functions lost by development, partially restore aquatic habitats, reduce exposure of the water surface to sunlight thereby minimizing thermal pollution, and provide essential summer and winter habitats. 8. If the site will be landscaped, we recommend that it be accomplished with native species that provide food and nesting sites for urban wildlife. Using native species instead of ornamentals should also provide benefits by reducing the need for fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Additionally, native species should require less water. 9. Concrete is toxic to aquatic life and should not be allowed to come in contact with surface waters until cured. 10. Locate sewers and other utilities as far away from creeks as functionally possible and minimize stream crossings. It is preferable that sewers be located outside the riparian buffers.
