DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY NO V 2 1 2003
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890 WATER QUALITY
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 SECTION
Action ID No. 200331090 August 12, 2003
03 PURTITC NOTICE,
MR LARRY U. CLARK, 210 POINTE ROAD, SENECA, SOUTH CAROLINA 29672 has
applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO CONSTRUCT AN
APPROXIMATELY 6.14 ACRE POND ON AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY TO
HOWARD'S CREEK, WEST OF REEPSVILLE ROAD, NORTHWEST OF
LINCOLNTON, IN LINCOLN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from
observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans
submitted with the application show that the applicant proposes to construct a 6.14-acre pond on
a perennial, unnamed tributary to Howard's Creek. The applicant has determined that in order to
create a 6.14-acre impoundment it will be necessary to deposit fill material in 56 linear feet of
channel for the dam resulting in the inundation of approximately 944 linear feet of channel.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for the loss of stream channel (by fill and inundation) through
implementation of the following: (1) Exclusion of cattle from the pond and a 68 acre area in the
vicinity of the pond through removal of cattle and subsequent installation of approximately 1,200
feet of fencing. As part of this plan, approximately 58 acres of eroding grazing land would be
converted to hay land; (2) Establishment of 50 foot wide wooded buffers in the following areas:
both sides of the tributary directly downstream from the proposed dam for a length of 600 feet,
both sides of the small stream that runs from west to east parallel to Howard's Creek for a length
of 700 feet, and the north side of Howard's Creek for a length of 1,200 feet. Much of these
riparian areas are sparsely vegetated and livestock grazing and watering has severely degraded
stream banks and stream channel. Buffers would be established through the planting of a
mixture of native herbaceous cover, shrubs and small trees, and larger trees. In addition, the
western shoreline of the proposed pond would remain wooded; (3) Construction of an
approximately 0.5 acre shallow planted wetland area at the upper end of the pond utilizing native
wetland plant species, and (4) Potentially entering approximately 2.2 acres of wetlands located
downstream from the proposed pond area into the USDA Wetland Reserve Program. The
applicant's stated purpose for the pond is recreation and to attract waterfowl and wildlife (not for
hunting purposes). If the project is approved, the applicant states that he envisions the pond and
buffer areas t6 have limited walking trails and wildlife viewing areas for recreational and
educationEd purposes. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.

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 worksite 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, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will
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, 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 NCDWQ 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 Environmental Operations Section, 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.
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) plans to take final action in the
issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after September 5, 2003.
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), 1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621, on or before
September 5, 2003, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office,
Attention: Mr. Steve Chapin, until 4:15 p.m., September 11, 2003, or telephone, [phone]

Mr. John Dorney
North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources
Division of Water Quality -Wetlands Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Mr. Larry U. Clark for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct an approximate 6 acre pond on
an unnamed tributary to Howard's Creek, northwest of Lincolnton, in Lincoln County, North F
Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in I
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations. L
E
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the C
provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted O
until the certification has been obtained or waived. P
Y
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a
request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on
the request, or asked for an extension of time, by October 11, 2003, the District Engineer will
deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steve Chapin, Asheville Field Office,
Regulatory Division, at [phone] extension 5.
Sincerely,

Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 SECTION
Action ID No. 200331090 0 1 1 5 August 12, 2003
MIL LARRY U. CLARK, 210 POINTE ROAD, SENECA, SOUTH CAROLINA 29672 has
applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO CONSTRUCT AN
APPROXIMATELY 6.14 ACRE POND ON AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY TO
HOWARD'S CREEK, WEST OF REEPSVILLE ROAD, NORTHWEST OF
LINCOLNTON, IN LINCOLN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from
observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans
submitted with the application show that the applicant proposes to construct a 6.14-acre pond on
a perennial, unnamed- tributary to Howard's Creek. The applicant has determined that in order to
create a 6.14-acre impoundment it will be necessary to deposit fill material in 56 linear feet of
channel for the dam resulting in the inundation of approximately 944 linear feet of channel.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for the loss of stream channel (by fill and inundation) through
implementation of the following: (1) Exclusion of cattle from the pond and a 68 acre area in the
vicinity of the pond through removal of cattle and subsequent installation of approximately 1,200
feet of fencing. As ;part of this plan, approximately 58 acres of eroding grazing land would be
converted to hay land; (2) Establishment of 50 foot wide wooded buffers in the following areas:
both sides of the tributary directly downstream from the proposed dam for a length of 600 feet,
both sides of the small stream that runs from west to east parallel to Howard's Creek for a length
of 700 feet, and the north side of Howard's Creek for a length of 1,200 feet. Much of these
riparian areas are sparsely vegetated and livestock grazing and watering has severely degraded
stream banks and stream channel. Buffers would be established through the planting of a
mixture of native herbaceous cover, shrubs and small trees, and larger trees. In addition, the
western shoreline of the proposed pond would remain wooded; (3) Construction of an
approximately 0.5 acre shallow planted wetland area at the upper end of the pond utilizing native
wetland plant species, and (4) Potentially entering approximately 2.2 acres of wetlands located
downstream from the proposed pond area into the USDA Wetland Reserve Program. The
applicant's stated purpose for the pond is recreation and to attract waterfowl and wildlife (not for
hunting purposes). If the project is approved, the applicant states that he envisions the pond and
buffer areas to have limited walking trails and wildlife viewing areas for recreational and
educational' purposes. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
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 worksite 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, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will
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, 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.
2
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 NCDWQ 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 Environmental Operations Section, 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.
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) plans to take final action in the
issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after September 5, 2003.
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), 1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621, on or before
September 5, 2003, Attention: Mr. John Domey.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office,
Attention: Mr. Steve Chapin, until 4:15 p.m., September 11, 2003, or telephone, [phone]

Mr. John Dorney

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Mr. Larry U._ Clark for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct'an approximate 6 acre pond on
an unnamed tributary to Howard's Creek, northwest of Lincolnton, in Lincoln County, North F
Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in I
accordance with Section 325:2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations. L
E
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the C
provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted O
until the certification has been obtained or waived. P
Y
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a
request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on
the request, or asked for an extension of time, by October 11, 2003, the District Engineer will
deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steve Chapin, Asheville Field Office,
Regulatory Division, at [phone] extension 5.
Sincerely,
