Re: Mitigation Plan Comments
White Mitigation Project
Randleman Lake Watershed
Randolph County, North Carolina

Ms. Merritt,
As per your comments dated October 28, 2020, we have reviewed and addressed your review
comments as follows:

1. Title Page-
 Add the "Randleman Watershed" to this page in the Basin and CU block.
RE: Comply. Randleman Watershed has been added.
 Edit the DWR #, which is 2019-0884.
RE: Comply. The DWR # has been incorporated.
 Replace 0240 with 15A NCAC 02B .0703 and the new title for this rule is "Nutrient
Offset Credit Trading"
RE: Comply. The language has been replaced as written above.
 What document is being referred to here? No MOA or Instrument exists between DMS
& DWR. If that is the document being referenced here, please remove the reference.
RE: Comply. The reference has been removed.

2. Figures –
 Need to add a Service Map where the Buffer Mitigation credits can be provided. That
service area is only the Randleman Lake Watershed.
RE: Comply. A service area map has been added as Figure 1.
 Need a topographic map for the site. Zoom in enough so the project tribs can be seen.
RE: Comply. A topographic map has been added as Figure 4.
Appendices-
 Photos do not include timestamps. When were these photos taken? Do these photos
represent existing conditions to date? If not, describe any land use changes within
the riparian areas that have taken place since the date DWR visited the site in 2019.
RE: Comply. A note has been added to the Photo Log indicating the date the photos were
taken and that there have been no changes in land use since DWR’s initial Site visit it 2019.
 Mitigation Plan Sheet 2-E. DWR recommends removing Korean Lespedeza from the
temporary seeding table and to choose another annual if available.
RE: Comply. Korean Lespedeza has been removed from the temporary seeding table.

3. Section 1.0 Introduction – It says that the credits will serve the 8-digit 03030003 of the Cape
Fear River Basin. This is incorrect. The service area for this project is limited to only the
Randleman Lake Watershed, which is not as broad of an area as the 03030003. Please correct
this statement and include a map depicting that service area.

RE: Comply. The language in Section 1 has been updated to clarify that the service area is only
the Randleman Lake watershed.

4. Table 1–
 Add the Site’s coordinates
RE: The Site’s coordinates are already incorporated in Table 1.
 For DWR, we want to see where this Site is relative to the rules that we are approving
the Project under. We are reviewing this project to determine its potential to provide
buffer mitigation to the Randleman Lake WS. Therefore, in this table, please add that
this site's location is within the Randleman Lake WS.
RE: Comply. A service area row has been added to reflect Randleman Lake Watershed.

5. Table 3 Regulatory Considerations– Add Randleman Buffer Authorization Request to this table.
RE: Comply. Randleman Buffer Authorization request has been added to Table 3.

6. Section 3.4 – I suggest adding a 3.4 and including that a Buffer Authorization is required for
bank stabilization and will be submitted for the project.
RE: Comply. Section 3.4 has been added to include details regarding the Buffer Authorization
request.

7. Section 5.0, Mitigation Work Plan – I suggest mowing, ripping, etc be performed to remove
compact soils typical of long-term agricultural use within these riparian areas. Also, Fescue can
out-complete bare roots - no fescue treatment is proposed in the beginning or as maintenance
during monitoring, to avoid this issue. Please explain what efforts will take place to control
fescue during site preparation and minimize its impacts to bareroots.
RE: At this time there are no intentions to mow, rip, or otherwise treat the existing pasture for
fescue. Plant growth and vigor will be closely monitored throughout the Site and LMG will
address the fescue through herbicide spot treatments if need through the monitoring period.
Language to this affect has been added to Section 5.1.2. LMG will also perform supplemental
planting if needed to meet vegetative success criteria for the project.

8. Section 5.1.2, Planting Plan – DWR does not consider nitrogen -fixing stems appropriate for
riparian restoration projects where Buffer Mitigation Credits are being generated. Our Buffer
rules are intended to reduce nutrient loading to nearby streams. Adding nutrients to the soil with
these trees is counter-productive to our rule goals. Please consider replacing Tag Alder with
another tree that is just as good at stabilizing soils and stream banks. Providing that Tag Alder
is replaced, please remove the references in this Section and in Table 7. Planting Plan.
RE: Comply. Tag Alder has been replaced with Ninebark which is not a nitrogen-fixing stem.

9. Section 6.0, Monitoring Plan – A plan to address how fescue will be treated before initial planting
efforts and during the monitoring years should be included in this section.
RE: Comply. Fescue treatment has been added to Table 8. Fescue will not be treated before
planting but will be treated if necessary during the monitoring period via herbicide spot
treatments.

10. Table 8. Monitoring Plan Components – What will the data include? please add details to
include this missing information. data should at least include height & quantity of planted
species.
RE: Comply. Language including the data to be collected has been added to this section. Data
to be collected includes: planted stem density, planted stem height, planted stems ddh or DBH
(dependent on height), and planted stem vigor.

11. Section 7.0 Success Criteria – Performance standards are based on what you are planting. I
didn't see shrubs (only sub-canopy) in your planting table. Therefore, you need to choose the
performance standards (the rule offers 2 options) that fits this Site.
RE: Comply. The language regarding performance standards has been updated to reflect only
sub-canopy species.

12. Section 7.0 Success Criteria Text Edits – A minimum of four native hardwood tree species or
four native hardwood tree and native shrub species must be present. Natural Native and
desirable hardwood and native shrub volunteer species may be included to meet the final
performance standard of 260 stems per acre upon DWR approval (Title 15A NCAC 02B . 0295).
RE: Comply. Language has been updated as suggested.

13. Section 6.0, 1st paragraph – The vegetation in this area needs to be reassessed. I believe this
area should be Enhancement at a 2:1 ratio.
RE: The area in question (the most southeast extent of the project) is definitively buffer
restoration and not enhancement. According to the definition of “Restoration” as outlined in
section (b) (12) of the MITIGATION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION AND
MAINTENANCE OF RIPARIAN BUFFERS (15A NCAC 02B .0295), restoration is an area
categorized by less than 25% canopy cover and lack of dense growth of smaller woody stems.
The area in question has a canopy cover less than 25% and no undergrowth due to cattle
access. The background photo used on the Mitigation Plansheets have shadows that give the
appearance of a thicker canopy due to the position of the sun to the east at the time the photo
was taken, however the actual density of mature trees within the easement is extremely low. It
is also worth noting that this area was called for as restoration and not enhancement during
DWR’s initial Site visit and Buffer Viability Determination on June 14, 2019.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to give me a call
(843.830.1536).

Sincerely,
Land Management Group

Introduction 

Randolph County, NC Page 1 October 29, 2020 
1.0   Introduction 
The White Mitigation Project (Site) has been selected by the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) to 
provide Buffer Mitigation Units (BMUs) in the Randleman Lake Watershed (Figure 1). The Randleman 
Lake Watershed is located within the larger Cape Fear River Basin (Hydrologic Unit Code 03030003).  
This Site is located approximately 2.8 miles southeast of Archdale in Randolph County, NC (Figure 2). The 
Site encompasses approximately 12.2 acres of active cattle pasture and involves restoration and 
enhancement via cattle exclusion of 504,566 square feet of riparian buffers along UT Muddy Creek (UT 
MC, Index #17‐9‐(1)) and UT 1, UT 2, and UT 5.  
The intent of mitigation activities is to establish a vegetated buffer along the existing streams and 
provide functional uplift of features within the existing landscape. Functional uplift will be provided 
through the stabilization of actively eroding stream banks; planting of a riparian buffer; and excluding 
cattle from the easement.

Mitigation Project Summary 

Randolph County, NC Page 4 October 29, 2020 
2.0  Mitigation Project Summary 
2.1 Restoration Project Goals and Objectives   
The Site is located in Randolph County within the Muddy Creek Watershed, USGS 14‐digit hydrologic 
unit 03030003010060.  Site streams flow directly to Muddy Creek (segment 17‐9‐(1)) approximately 1.0 
mile east of the Site.  Muddy Creek is a primary direct contributor to the Randleman Reservoir.  A Local 
Watershed Plan has not been developed for this hydrologic unit. However, the Site does fall within the 
Deep River Basin (HUC 03030003) which is discussed within the Cape Fear River Basin Restoration 
Priorities (RBRP) report (2009). The RBRP notes the goals for the Deep River Basin that are to protect 
several mussel species recognized by the Wildlife Resource Commission as a priority for protection, 
protect the federally endangered Cape Fear Shiner, and to improve water quality to waters draining to 
Randleman Reservoir. 
The latest Cape Fear Basinwide Water Quality Plan (2005) was reviewed to determine longstanding 
water quality stressors within the overall basin and within the Site’s sub‐watershed.  Some of the 
identified stressors and recommendations identified in the Plan are listed below: 
• Habitat Degradation – sedimentation, lack of organic material and channelization.  A 
recommendation was noted to maintain riparian buffers as an effort to assist in slowing 
degradation.  
• Arsenic, Chlorophyll a, Low Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Turbidity, Fecal Coliform Bacteria and 
Enterococcus, Mercury in fish tissue. 
• Agriculture – A recommendation noted was to continue and increase agricultural BMP’s. 
• Forestry – A recommendation noted was to continue and increase forestry BMP’s. 
In 2002, Muddy Creek was placed on the 303(d) list and a TMDL was created for Muddy Creek’s 
watershed in 2004 to address fecal coliform impairment. Two segments of Muddy Creek were 
considered impaired due to fecal coliform.  Site streams flow directly into one of those two segments 
(17‐9‐(1)).  Primary sources of fecal input as identified in the document include nonpoint sources and 
Point Sources. Nonpoint sources were identified in the document as runoff from pasture and other 
agricultural lands near streams, wildlife, and domestic animals.  The document also notes that 
agricultural land may contribute to greater runoff of fecal coliform compared with other inputs during 
storm events due to the increased impact of agriculture on riparian corridors. Point Sources of fecal 
coliform are identified as two low‐scale wastewater treatment plants and urban stormwater discharging 
directly to Muddy Creek. The document suggests reductions of fecal coliform to achieve the TMDL 
should target storm‐driven sources of runoff such as agricultural lands, residential areas, repairing aging 
sewer and septic systems and removal of SSO’s. 
Two of the primary redundancies from watershed information listed above is that fecal pathogens and 
nutrient/sedimentation from agricultural production is stressing the Cape Fear River Basin and 
specifically the Muddy Creek Watershed.  Buffer restoration at the Site will directly and significantly 
address both fecal pathogens and agricultural production.  Primary goals of this buffer restoration 
project focus on: 
1. Reduce water quality stressors associated with nutrient, sediment, and pathogen loading.  
2. Enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitat. 

White Mitigation Project | DMS Project No. 100112 
Mitigation Project Summary 

Randolph County, NC Page 5 October 29, 2020 
These goals will be accomplished through the following objectives: 
1. Reducing water quality stressors will be directly tied to the following: 
a) Reducing non‐point source (i.e. cattle accessing the channels, stormwater runoff 
through pastures and feeding stations) pollution associated with on‐site agricultural 
operations by installing exclusionary fencing to remove cattle and machinery from 
on‐site streams and riparian buffers. 
b) Reducing non‐point pollution associated with on‐site agricultural operations by 
restoring and enhancing riparian vegetative buffers on adjacent floodplains to treat 
surface water runoff from adjacent pastureland.   
c) Further removing agricultural equipment and cattle by providing and/or improving 
culverted agricultural crossings.  
d) Treatment of pollution associated with off‐site agricultural, institutional, and 
residential properties by restoring and enhancing riparian vegetative buffers on‐site 
to attenuate nutrient and sediment laden floodwaters.  
2. Enhancement of terrestrial and aquatic habitat will be directly tied to 
a) Restoring native vegetation to the existing maintained and highly impacted riparian 
corridors will diversify flora and create a protected habitat corridor that will provide 
an abundance of available foraging and cover habitat for a multitude of mammals 
and birds.  Additionally, establishment of woody vegetation in the riparian corridor 
will provide direct inputs of woody debris to adjacent conveyances that will assist in 
increasing biomass and cover habitat for aquatic species.    

2.2 Project Location Information 
The Site is located within the Southern Outer Piedmont, approximately 2.9 miles southeast of Archdale, 
NC.  One air transport facility (Darr Field (FAA Identifier NC03)) is located approximately 3.5 miles 
northwest of the Site.  The facility is privately owned. 
Directions to the Site: 
From Raleigh‐Durham International Airport: I‐40 west for 61.6 miles; keep left for I‐85 S, go 17.6 miles to 
exit 113; turn left onto NC‐62, go .2 miles; turn right onto Weant Rd, go to end; turn right onto Suits Rd, 
the project site will be on the left. 
2.3 Baseline and Existing Conditions 
2.3.1 Landscape Characteristics 
The Site is located within the Intrusive Rocks/ Metamorphosed Granite Rock region of the Piedmont 
(NCGS, 1985). Onsite elevations range from a high of 805 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 
to a low of approximately 740 feet NGVD.  
Soil series depicted in the Randolph county Soil Survey are shown on Figure 3. The majority of lands 
within the Site are mapped as Helena sandy loam, 6 to 10 percent slopes.  These soils are moderately 
well drained with slow permeability, and moderate to rapid runoff.  Parent material is a residuum 
weathered from a mixture of felsic, intermediate, or mafic igneous or high‐grade metamorphic rocks.

2.3.2 Land Use – Historic and Current 
The watershed for UT Muddy Creek is 0.38 sq miles (245 acres) at the downstream extents of the Site 
(Figure 5). Land use within the Site’s watershed is dominated by forest, which totals approximately 32% 
of the contributing watershed.  The remaining contributing watershed is comprised of pasture and row 
crops (approximately 27%) and residential/schools (approximately 17%).  Figure 6 depicts land use within 
the Site’s watershed. 
Historic aerial photographs were utilized to collect information on Site changes in recent history. 
Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) provided aerials from the following years: 1937, 1948, 1950, 
1959, 1964, 1969, 1970, 1973, 1980, 1983, 1993, 1999, 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2016. According to the 
aerial photographs, current Site conditions and uses have changed little since 1959. It appears that the 
pond located immediately southeast of UT 1 was dug sometime between 1950 and 1959. It also appears 
that during this time frame the portion of the Site that is immediately north of UT Muddy Creek was 
cleared to be used for agricultural purposes.  
A review of historic aerial photography of lands proximal to the Site confirms rapid urban expansion 
associated with the growth of the Triad, including residential housing, building of schools and business 
and installation of new infrastructure, including Interstate 74 approximately 0.5 mile east of the Site.  
Historical aerials provided by EDR can be seen in Appendix A. 
2.3.3 Existing Site Conditions 
Six unnamed tributaries to Muddy Creek are located within the conservation easement. Current Site 
conditions are shown on Figure 7.  
Biological Impairment 
As noted above, most streams on the Site have various physical impairments that include: 
 Significant fine sediment and nutrient loading from runoff from cattle pasture. 
 Hoof shear of channel banks and bed form from cattle access and wading. 
 Continual maintenance of riparian buffers and denudation of deep rooted vegetation from 
those buffers. 
 Fecal loading into the channels from unabated access of cattle. 
 Agricultural machinery access.   
These physical impairments have detrimental effects on water quality and on the biological integrity of 
the Site. Effects of physical impairments include:  
 Silting of habitat for fish species and other macrobenthos in the stream channels, 
 Loss of essential bed form features, 
 Probability of increased loading of nutrients and pathogens to all stream systems on‐site due to 
maintenance of fields within riparian areas and access of cattle to stream channels,   
 Denudation of riparian vegetation reduces the ability of the Site to attenuate floodwaters and 
uptake and store nutrients and other pollutant inputs, 
 Denudation of riparian vegetation substantially reduces potential woody debris inputs to the 
channel that are vital for aquatic propagation and cover habitat, and  
 Denudation of riparian vegetation reduces semi‐aquatic and terrestrial habitat corridors through 
the Site.

Mitigation Project Summary 

Randolph County, NC Page 9 October 29, 2020 
Significant fecal and nutrient loads are entering UTMC and its tributaries because of direct cattle access 
to streams and overland sheet flow from adjacent pastures.  Evidence of this includes visual observation 
of cattle in the stream channel during site visits and fecal matter along stream banks and within the 
stream channel.  HDR used equations and guidance set forth by DMS in the document titled 
“Quantifying Benefits to Water Quality from Livestock Exclusion and Riparian Buffer Establishment for 
Stream Restoration” (June 15, 2016) to determine fecal load reductions that may result from proposed 
restoration activities.  Cattle exclusion (based on 30 animal units) and establishment of a riparian buffer 
will decrease the fecal load of the site by 2.96E+14 col/year for both options. HDR also used equations 
set forth in the NC DEQ memorandum titled “Approval of Cattle Exclusion Nutrient Reduction Practices” 
(April 5, 2017) as well as the document titled “NC Division of Water Quality – Methodology and 
Calculations for determining Nutrient Reductions associated with Riparian Buffer Establishment” to 
determine nitrogen and phosphorous reductions for the Site.  Cattle exclusion (based on 30 animal 
units) and establishment of a riparian buffer will reduce the nitrogen loads for the Site up to 931 lb/yr 
and reduce the phosphorous load for the Site up to 88 lb/yr. Existing stream conditions are summarized

Approval Letter 
3.1 Protected Species 
Randolph County has 6 federally listed species as Threatened or Endangered. Records at the North 
Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) do not indicate an occurrence of a federally threatened or 
endangered species on the Site. The Categorical Exclusion (CE) documentation provided in Appendix C 
provides details concerning threatened and endangered species at the Site. The proposed project was 
determined to have “no effect” on all listed federally protected species.  
3.2 Cultural Resources 
The CE for the Site was approved by FHWA on March 17, 2020. The CE included information regarding 
cultural resources at the Site and coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office (SPO). Based 
on results from the CE research and documentation there are no historic of cultural resources that 
would be affected by this project. CE documentation is provided in Appendix C. 
3.3 Waters of the United States – 404/401 
Per email correspondence with David Bailey and Andrew Williams of the United States Army Corps of 
Engineers (USACE), construction activities will not require a Nationwide General Permit 27. All bank 
stabilization earthwork will take place above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) and culvert work 
qualifies as an agricultural exemption. Best management practices will still be implemented during 
construction.  
3.4 Randleman Buffer Authorization 
The Buffer Authorization for the Site was approved by DWR on October 26, 2020. A Buffer Authorization 
was submitted due to activities outline in the mitigation work plan, specifically bank stabilization, 
crossing removal and installation, and cattle exclusion fencing installation. After review of the Buffer 
Authorization application DWR determined that the impacts associated with the mitigation work plan of 
the project were allowable.

5.0   Mitigation Work Plan 
Buffer restoration on Site will be accomplished by planting cleared areas with native hardwood species, 
removing and treating invasive vegetation, fencing cattle out of the easement area, stabilizing eroding 
stream banks, and installation of new piped crossings. Herbaceous riparian vegetation will be planted in 
areas disturbed during construction but will generally re‐establish naturally. 
5.1 Planting Plan and Nuisance/ Invasive Species Removal 
5.1.1 Reference Vegetation Data 
A 30‐foot reference data plot was randomly recorded in an ecologically stable climax forest community 
downstream of the Site (Figure 7). Data collected within the plot in Table 6. The reference forest 
community for the Site is the mature hardwood forest immediately southeast of the property which will 
serve as a model for restoration efforts on Site. Historical aerial photographs show that the area of 
forest chosen as the reference has remained undisturbed for a minimum of 82 years.

Vegetation observed in the understory included Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), Chinese 
privet (Ligustrum sinense), Trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus 
quinquefolia). Based on the species present in the reference data plot, the forest community type is 
characteristic of a Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest (Schafale and Weakley, 1990).  
5.1.2 Planting Plan 
Within the easement boundary, Chinese privet is the dominant woody species along the banks of UT 
MC. Prior to planting, privet will be cleared and treated to ensure re‐colonization is deterred. Existing 
privet root mass will remain intact to provide structure and stability to the stream banks. It is worth 
noting that fescue is the dominant grass species in the existing pasture. Fescue will not be treated 
before the planting of buffer, however fescue will be monitored and treated with herbicide as necessary 
through the course of monitoring to ensure the survivability of the planted stems. Sections of stream 
bank to be stabilized will be planted with a streamside assemblage consisting of black willow, tag alder, 
and other common streamside species. The remaining restoration areas located in the pasture will be 
planted with species consistent with the target vegetation community Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial 
Forest. The stream bank will be planted on approximately four foot spacing and the bare root seedlings 
in the pasture will be planted on approximately eight foot spacing, corresponding to approximately 680 
stems per acre. It is expected that other characteristic species will recruit naturally into these areas after 
completion of construction. The herbaceous layer will be restored by seeding disturbed areas with a 
native riparian seed mix. Table 7 below identifies the proposed species composition for each planting 
zone. A plan view of the planting zones is depicted in Appendix E, Plansheet 8.

5.2 Exclusionary Cattle Fencing 
Fencing will be installed along the easement boundary to exclude cattle and clearly demarcate the 
easement boundary for the landowners. Fencing will be installed and incorporated into the existing 
pasture fencing. Fencing will be erected to NRCS and DMS standards to restrict cattle from accessing 
land within the easement. Existing fencing within the conservation easement will be removed.

Monitoring Plan 

Randolph County, NC Page 20 October 29, 2020 
5.3 Stream Bank Stabilization 
Bank stabilization is proposed for areas where banks are experiencing active erosion that is not expected 
to stabilize naturally after cattle exclusion. Proposed bank stabilization areas along UT 1, UT 2, and UT 
MC are shown in Appendix E, Plansheets 3 ‐ 7. All work will take place above the OHWM. Bank 
stabilization will consist of grading the banks at a 2.5:1 slope, spreading seed and straw over the 
disturbed area, and installation of coir fiber matting. Livestakes and bare root seedlings will be planted 
to establish a root system for permanent stabilization. 
5.4 Piped Channel Crossings 
Replacement and installation of piped crossings are necessary to allow farming operations to continue 
on land adjacent to the project. The existing upstream crossing on UT 2 and the existing crossing on UT 
MC will both be removed. The channel will be extended in place of the existing crossings by matching 
upstream and downstream channel invert elevations and base widths. The banks will be sloped at a 
2.5:1 gradient from channel toe to existing ground. Banks will be stabilized with seed and straw, coir 
fiber matting, and planted with live stakes and bare roots. A typical cross section has been included in 
the Pipe Removal detail on Plansheet 2A (Appendix E). The existing downstream crossing on UT 2 will be 
upfitted with an 18 foot, 30 inch diameter corrugated plastic pipe. An 18 foot, 36 inch diameter 
corrugated plastic pipe crossing will be installed on UT MC downstream of the existing cattle crossing to 
maintain access to the pasture south of UT MC. Lastly, an 18 foot, 24 inch corrugated plastic pipe will be 
installed at the upstream end of UT 1. All pipes will be covered with a minimum 1 foot of fill material. Fill 
material will then be topped with a minimum 8 inches of crushed stone. Details for both crossings can

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — White Site
Located near 5792-Suits Rd., Archdale, NC
Randleman Lake Watershed
Dear Mr. DiGeronimo,
DWR# 2019-0884
Randolph County
On June 14, 2019, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from HDR for an onsite mitigation determination near the above -referenced site (Site). The Site is
located within the Randleman Lake Watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin in the 8-digit
Hydrologic Unit Code 03030003. The Site is being proposed as part of a full -delivery riparian buffer
mitigation project for the Division of Mitigation Services (RFP #16-007703). On June 19, 2019, Ms.
Merritt performed an onsite assessment of riparian land uses adjacent to streams and channels onsite,
which are shown on the attached map labeled "Determination Features Map". Staff from the
Division of Mitigation Services were also present onsite.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination for the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB)
and landward 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295
(effective November 1, 2015).

'The area of preservation credit within a buffer mitigation site shall comprise of no more than 25 percent (25%) of the total area of buffer
mitigation per 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(5) and 15A NCAC 0295 (o)(4). Site cannot be a Preservation Only site to comply with this rule.
4The area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Cattle
exclusion fencing is required to be installed around the mitigation area to get buffer credit under this part of the rule.

Subject: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Randleman Lake Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0250)
Subject Property: White Buffer Mitigation Site, 5796 Suits Rd, Archdale NC, Randolph County
DWR# 2019-0884

Dear Mr. DiGeronimo:

On June 19, 2019, at your request, Sue Homewood conducted an on-site determination to review features
located on the subject project for stream determinations with regards to the above noted state
regulations. Katie Merritt with the Division of Water Resources (Division) – 401 & Buffer Permitting
Branch was also present during the site visit.

The attached sketch depicts the channels that were reviewed during the site visit. Channels UT1, UT2,
UT to Muddy Creek, and UT5 as shown on the attached sketch were determined to be at least
intermittent channels and subject to the Randleman Buffer Rules cited above. UT3 and UT4 were not
evaluated as they exist within the buffer of UT to Muddy Creek. Please note that these regulations may
be subject to change in the future.

The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in
any future correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination shall expire five (5)
years from the date of this letter.

Page 2 of 2

Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the Division or Delegated Local
Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination
by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing
c/o 401 & Buffer Permitting Branch, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. Individuals that
dispute a determination by the Division or Delegated Local Authority that “exempts” surface water from
the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you
receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60-day statutory appeal time does not start
until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision. The
Division recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third party
appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This determination is final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing within 60 days.

This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within
Waters of the United States or Waters of the State or their associated buffers. If you have any additional
questions or require additional information, please contact me at 336-776-9693 or
[e-mail].
