1201 Kenilworth Avenue
Charlotte, NC 28204
Dear Mr. Santee:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 0.048 acres of
wetlands and waters for the purpose of construction a residential subdivision as you described in your
application dated December 6, 2002. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3362, which may be viewed on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number 18
when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the
General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application
except as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to
send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this
Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the
corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For
this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ that all the work included in the 401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and
return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds to notify the state in order
to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put
in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is
later).

Request for additional copies and fee letter (December 30, 2002)
McAlpine Group, Hamilton Road Residential Subdivision (USACE Action ID: 200231017)
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Mr. Dorney:
Two copies of the permit application for the above referenced project were received at your office on
December 11, 2002. The application requests authorization under Nationwide Permit 18 for impacts to
regulated waters of the US including impacts to intermittent channel assessed to be unimportant in
aquatic function (field verified by DWQ) and wetlands. Your letter states that approval from DWQ is
required to disturb these wetlands and waters. At your request, we are submitting the additional fees
and maps of the proposed impacts at scale of I inch = 100 feet as requested in your letter dated
December 30, 2002 for these minor discharges.
We feel that the originally submitted PCN was satisfactory, and we respectfully request that the project'
not be placed on hold and the 60 day review processing time remain with the received application date
of December 11, 2002 for the following reasons:
I . The Army Corps has indicated that the review of the project under authorization of NW Permit
18 is appropriate.
2. The WQC Fee Memo (found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.htmi) states:
"Nationwide Permits for minor wetland impacts or those without wetland or stream fill that do not
require written approval of the 401 Water Quality Certification do not require payment of the fee. If
an applicant still chooses to submit an application in order to have written approval to file with
their project records, then the fee payment is required if wetland or stream fill is involved."
3. WQC #3362 states:
"Written notification to DWQ is required for all applications that propose to use
Nationwide Permit 18. This notification requirement will be satisfied by providing two
(2) copies of the PCN form to DWQ at the same time that the PCN form is sent to the
US Army Corps of Engineers. A formal application and fee is not required unless
DWQ decides that an Individual Certification will be required for the project. In this
case, the applicant will be notified in writing from DWQ within 30 days of the receipt
of the written notification."

Mr. Chapin and Mr. Dorney:
The McAlpine Group is requesting impacts to regulated intermittent channels and wetlands for
the proposed Hamilton Road Subdivision in Mecklenburg County. Impacts are assessed to be
minimal to the aquatic environment Channels to be permanently impacted are assessed to be
unimportant in aquatic function by the consultant and confirmed by Mr. Mike Parker with the
NCDWQ on a site visit.
K?
No perennial or important channels are to be permanently impacted. Approximately 1300
linear feet of perennial channels will remain in common open space. The large pond at the
northeast corner of the site will remain for recreation and aquatic uses.
Please call with questions.

viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and
explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the
desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during
construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to perennial and /or intermittent channel with important aquatic function have been been
avoided. Previous site plans proposed additional impacts that have been avoided and or minimized.
VIII. Mitigation
Page 4 of 4
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of
Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands
or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits,
published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure
that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed
impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining
acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be
appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing
and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and
replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving
similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for
USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required
mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also
choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for
Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htmi.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much
information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if
offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed
(restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed
restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed
method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No additional compensatory mitigation is anticipated for the project. All impacts are assessed
to be minimal to the aquatic environment. Intermittent channel to be impacted has been
channelized as evident by adjacent spoil piles. Additionally, no aquatic life has been observed
within channel reaches to be impacted.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program
(NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at [phone]
to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN.
For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/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

Dear Mr. Santee:
On December 11, 2002 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your
application regarding your plan to fill waters for the purpose of constructing a residential subdivision in
Mecklenburg County. Approval from DWQ is required to disturb these wetlands and waters. Please
provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ # listed above in your reply. Please
show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to determine your
projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
1. The application fee was insufficient because over 150 feet of stream and/or over 1 acre of
wetland impacts were requested. Please provide $275.00. This additional fee must be
received before your application can be reviewed.
Please telephone me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would require copies of our
rules or procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0505(c). The processing time for this application will begin when this information is
received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer
want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.

The McAlpine Group is requesting impacts to regulated intermittent channels And W
the proposed Hamilton Road Subdivision in Mecklenburg County. Impacts ar "GaMIj
minimal to the aquatic environment. Channels to be permanently impacted are assessed to be
unimportant in aquatic function by the consultant and confirmed by Mr. Mike Parker with the
NCDWQ on a site visit.
No perennial or important channels are to be permanently impacted. Approximately 1300
linear feet of perennial channels will remain in common open space. The large pond at the
northeast corner of the site will remain for recreation and aquatic uses.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
Tamp Bandy

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial
viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and
explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the
desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during
construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to perennial and /or intermittent channel with important aquatic function have been been
avoided. Previous site plans proposed additional impacts that have been avoided and or minimized.
VIII. Mitigation
Page 4 of 4
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of
Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands
or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits,
published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure
that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed
impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining
acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be
appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing
and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and
replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving
similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for
USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required
mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also
choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for
Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.htm1.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much
information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if
offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed
(restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed
restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed
method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No additional compensatory mitigation is anticipated for the project. All impacts are assessed
to be minimal to the aquatic environment. Intermittent channel to be impacted has been
channelized as evident by adjacent spoil piles. Additionally, no aquatic life has been observed
within channel reaches to be impacted.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program
(NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at [phone]
to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN.
For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/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
1IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state)
land?
Yes ? No
Page 5 of 5
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 (required by DWQ)
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 (Neuse), 15A
NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer
Requirements), or other (please identify ??
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.
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
M itigation
1 3
2 1.5
Total
* Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
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.

`? UJCTI Mine /l9n1 In
Mr. Chapin and Mr. Dorney:
The McAlpine Group is requesting impacts to regulated intermittent channels and wetlands for
the proposed Hamilton Road Subdivision in Mecklenburg County. Impacts are assessed to be
minimal to the aquatic environment. Channels to be permanently impacted are assessed to be
unimportant in aquatic function by the consultant and confirmed by Mr. Mike Parker with the
NCDWQ on a site visit.
No perennial or important channels are to be permanently impacted. Approximately 1300
linear feet of perennial channels will remain in common open space. The large pond at the
northeast corner of the site will remain for recreation and aquatic uses.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
Tamp Bandy

information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial
viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and
explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the
desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during
construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to perennial and /or intermittent channel with important aquatic function have been been
avoided. Previous site plans proposed additional impacts that have been avoided and or minimized.
VIII. Mitigation
Page 4 of 4
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of
Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands
or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits,
published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure
that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed
impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining
acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be
appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing
and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and
replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving
similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for
USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required
mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also
choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for
Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much
information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if
offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed
(restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed
restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed
method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No additional compensatory mitigation is anticipated for the proiect. All impacts are assessed
to be minimal to the aquatic environment. Intermittent channel to be impacted has been
channelized as evident by adjacent spoil piles. Additionally, no aquatic life has been observed
within channel reaches to be impacted.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program
(NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at [phone]
to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN.
For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/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
