Canterbury Place (03-0646) The 401 was issued, but left out information
regarding a pond to be impacted (.47 acres). I visited the site. The
pond was fed by a spring that is the headwaters of the stream. I was
trying to get mitigation for the impact, but the 401 was issued.
Regardless the pond needs approval.

Re: Canterbury Place - Approximately 50 acres. Mecklenbure County , North Carolina - Nationwide
Permit #39
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. Mike Hinshaw of Hinshaw Properties, LLC, I am requesting authorization to
utilize Nationwide Permit #39 to impact a + 0.47 acre degraded pond and approximately 55 If of
intermittent stream to develop the proposed single family community. There are no proposed impacts to the
2250 linear feet of perennial stream on the project site. As depicted on the plan the remaining streams will
be protected within common open space and local SWIM Buffers. Stormwater will be filtered over the large
buffer areas utilizing level spreading devices. There are no direct discharges of stormwater to any creek.
The following sections present the results of the environmental planning and a description of the impacts
with proposed minimization and mitigation measures.

Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined
according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with
Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA
Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the Routine
On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to
make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland
hydrology must be identified as described in the manual.

Background
The site is within the headwaters of perennial tributaries of Four Mile Creek of the Catawba Basin (Water
Classification - C). The majority of the site is flat to slightly sloping. The current land-use is single family
residential, and undeveloped woodland areas.
Description
Wetland Hydrology and Hydric Soils
These riparian areas can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved and Scrub Shrub (PFOI A,
PFO1C, PSS1A). According to the North Carolina Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide-
Section II-A-2, June 1991, Monacan (Mo) soils are listed as Map Units with inclusions of Hydric Soils in
Mecklenburg County. The streams on the site are intermittent and perennial. Characteristics include
persistent pools, small riffle and pool complexes (a "special aquatic site") in the perennial streams, and
rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate. Vegetation in riparian and along tributaries is dominated by
Facultative Wet Vegetation.

PROPOSED MINIMIZA TION AND MITIGATION
The following Best Management Practices will be employed and strictly enforced to minimize impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
d) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters.
e) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.

MITIGATION PLAN
The remaining perennial streams will be protected within forested common open space and within local
SWIM Buffers as depicted on the plan.
Stormwater Plan
The impervious percentage for development is approximately 28%. The developer proposing to utilize a
Level Spreader Design to filter runoff from the development into the forested buffers. The design will be
based on guidance provided in Draft Level Spreader Design Options - Version 1.0. with Preformed Scour
Holes.
PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Remaining streams and wetlands will be protected in common open space or within rear of lots. As
required, deed notifications or similar mechanisms will be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of al streams and ponds on the property.
COMPLIANCE WITH WETLAND REGULATIONS
In accordance with Title 15 NCAC 2H.0500, the following DEED NOTIFICATION shall be recorded in
the County Registry prior to the conveyance of lots. Said Deed Notification shall apply to (name
of subdivision), lot numbers in County, North Carolina as shown on plans titled (subdivision
name) prepared by ( name of designer) dated

THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified Schweinitz's sunflower
and the Carolina heelsplitter. Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of succession fields,
margins, and forested openings. Based on a site reconnaissance, habitat conducive to support the
Schweinitz's sunflower does not appear to be present in the project area The Carolina heelsplitter is a
freshwater mussel, which prefers shaded areas either, in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs along
steep banks with moderate current. Primary habitat is waters less than three feet deep with a soft mud,
muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate. It is normally restricted to protected silted areas or under banks
especially associated with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. The current distribution according to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is limited t portions of two streams -- Goose Creek and Waxhaw Creek
-- and a small river originating from rural are s in Union County. Therefore it is not expected to occur on
this site.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project site is disturbed from previous residential activities. Only contemporary structures were found
on the site. The State Historic Preservation Office may review of the USGS maps at the Office of State
Archaeology and the Survey and Planning Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources
to determine if sites are indicated on the National Historic Register within the study area.
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of wetlands and streams in the Catawba Basin. A variety of
wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects,
mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control
plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality
downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Best Management Practices will include utilizing
siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous
materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging
areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions,
measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the
concrete has hardened. Aquatic resources are expected to be enhanced through the restoration of wetland
areas that flood and pond for longer durations.
CONCLUSION
Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive site
planning has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value and permitability.
The goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental consequences of this
development by protecting waters downstream of the project and to preserve and enhance important
wetland and stream habitats on the site.

Re: Canterbury Place Subdivision
Dear Marc:
As you are aware, some months ago we drained a pond, located on a tract of land that we
have under contract, and is owned by Mr. & Mrs. C. A. Mermans. The Mermans
purchased a home in North Mecklenburg, and left the property vacant and unattended.
Earlier this year, vandals began doing significant damage to the dwelling, which is
immediately adjacent to the pond. The evidence left behind by the vandals led us to
believe that local teenagers were using the house and its surrounds as a place to gather in
the evening. We discussed the matter with the property owner, and shared a concern that
the pond was a potential liability and posed a danger to the teenagers in light of the
continued trespassing and vandalism at the property. We agreed that the pond needed to
be drained for safety reasons, and with the Mermans' approval, we drained it.
We understand you are proceeding with permitting the removal of the pond and hope that
this will not create more difficulty.

Draft Level Spreader Design Options Version 1.0 October 10, 2001
Using Level Spreaders to Provide Diffuse Flow Through Buffers for Compliance with Riparian Area Protection Rules
Level spreaders are one means of providing diffuse flow through protected buffers. It is always preferable to not
concentrate stormwater initially and provide as many outfalls as possible. This can reduce or even eliminate the need for
engineered devices to provide diffuse flow. However, this is not feasible in many cases. Some buffer protection rules such
as the Neuse, Catawba, and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules do not allow direct discharges of stormwater
through the protected buffers. However, it is "allowable" with written approval from the DWQ to provide best management
practices (BMPs) that remove the nutrients or pollutants in question in order to discharge directly through the buffer.
These measures could include the use of the buffer itself as a forested filter strip, for instance, to remove the desired
substances. In addition to providing diffuse flow, level spreaders can be used to distribute flow into filter strips.
There are certain criteria that apply to every design that utilizes level spreaders to provide diffuse flow:
1) The entire system must safely pass a 10 year storm event without failing or causing erosion, gullies or rills.
2) The design of the level spreader must take into consideration site specific conditions such as topography, vegetative
cover, soil and other geologic conditions. If diffused flow is not attainable based on site conditions they should not be
used. (i.e. the slope of the natural ground away from or parallel to the level spreader should be relatively smooth in
the direction toward the stream so that the flow will not reconcentrate.)
3) Level spreaders should have a minimum length of ten feet and an absolute, maximum length of 300 feet.
4) It is always easier to keep flow distributed than to redistribute it after collection.
5) The type and amount of vegetative ground cover must also be considered.
6) Level spreaders must be level.
Level Spreader Design Options:
Conventional level spreader design option where entire discharge is passed through the level spreader with
no bypass conveyance for larger storms:
• For grass or thick ground cover vegetation:
1)13 feet of level spreader for every 1 cis flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
ill) Slopes of 8% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
• For forested areas with little or no ground cover vegetation:
1) 100 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
ill) slopes of 6% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
Another conventional level spreader design technique that can be used to accommodate steeper slopes where grading is
allowed or exempt in zone 2 of protected buffers is to provide level spreaders in series as follows:
• Can be used on slopes of up to 15% for forested areas and 25% for grass or thick ground cover
• Structural level spreader just outside of zone 2 followed by a grassed berm level spreader just outside of zone 1

• Maximum Q10 discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level
spreader for grass or thick ground cover
In some instances, because of topography, the size and imperviousness of the drainage area, or other site constraints,
conventional level spreader designs are not appropriate. However, there are alternative designs, like the ones listed
below, that would allow a level spreader to function properly by bypassing the larger discharge events. This is based on
the assumption used in designing most water quality BMPs that the "first flush" of stormwater discharge contains the
most substances of concern. These other alternatives are "allowable (require written approval from DWQ)" for protected
buffers in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Catawba basins, but would not be allowable in protected buffers of the Randleman
watershed.
Level spreader with bypass for larger drainage areas that require 85% TSS removal or where lateral constraints limit the
level spreader length severely:
• Dry detention basin designed per NCDENR Stormwater BMP Manual" sized to detain 1" rain and release it over 2-5
days" through a level spreader.
• Level spreader length based on the maximum release rate discharge
• Discharges from greater than a 1" rain can be bypassed via an appropriate conveyance such as a grassed swale (rip
rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cis per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
in order to most 85% TSS Removal criteria)
Another bypass alternative can be used that would not be considered to remove 85% TSS:
• Detention basin such as a type B silt basin preceding the level spreader
• Level spreader length based on the 1" per hour intensity storm
• A system designed to bypass the greater than V in per hour intensity storm through an appropriate conveyance such
as a grassed Swale (rip rep lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
Yet another design that can be used in very specific areas with virtually flat slopes is a Preformed Scour Hole with a Level
Spreader Apron (typical detail attached):
• Discharge area must have virtually flat slopes such as those in flood plains or wetlands
• Must be located outside of zone 2
• B = 3 x discharge pipe size for pipes of either 15 or 18 inches B= base width (see detail)
• Maximum allowable discharge (Q10) of 6 cis for a 15 inch pipe and 10 cis for an 18 inch pipe
• Minimum apron width of 4 feet.
Any of the above options will be considered acceptable if designed in accordance with the outlined criteria. Please keep in
mind that some of the above practices may still require written approval, for instance when a direct bypass discharge is
proposed through a protected buffer in the Neuse or Tar-Pamlico River Basin.
