list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. As described in the attached letter from the property owner. Mr.
David Clark to the Corps. it was to his understanding that no permits would be needed. due
to the age of the lots and the impacts of less than 1/3 of an acre being proposed.
Unfortunately. before the work was completed. those guidelines changed. Unfortunately,
Mr. Clark was unaware of this change. The unauthorized work performed filled 0.911 acres
of wetlands. After a notice of violation from the USACE fiction ID 200400678). action was
ceased and Soil & Environmental Consultants PA was contacted.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future permits are anticipated.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe 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. As described above. when
the initial impacts were planned. rules stated that impacts of up to 0.1 acre qer lot were
acceptable. However. the work was not completed until after the "subdivision rule" was
changed in 2002. and the client was unaware of this change. This lead to the issuance of
the notice of violation (USACE Action ID 200400678
In order to minimize impacts, lot arrangements were altered. imaactin~ a smaller amount of
wetland. Although we were unable to eliminate all impacts impacts were reduced to less
than half an acre. The rearranging of lot lines. which were constrained by pre-existing
infrastructure (water and sewer), led to the loss of lots that were to be developed In
addition. adjacent lots that were to be developed will not be because of the discovery of
Page 5 of 9

wetlands on them (see attached maps. The property owner will lose access to several of the
originally planned lots.
VIII. Mitigation
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.
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, 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 USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP 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/strm gide.html.
1. 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.
Mitigation will include the restoration of approximately 0.413 acres of impacted
wetlands. Please see the enclosed restoration plan for details. The remaining 0.498
acres of impacted non-riparian wetlands will be mitigated by payment into the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program at a 2:lratio. This payment was initially
approved by NCEEP on July 21, 2005 (see attached letter).
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For

PLANTING PLAN
Once Site Preparation is complete per the following construction sequence, the site shall
be planted according to the plan described below.
SITE PREPARATION
Existing fill material in the area shown on the accompanying Concept Plan will be
removed to original grade where the hydric soils surface is evident. This removal should
be accomplished by toothed-bucket equipment while disturbing the original surface a
little as possible. The appropriate depth of fill to be removed should be evident to the
equipment operator since the fill material is a brightly colored sandy foam overlying a
nearly level surface of black sandy loam that represents the original surface of the hydric
soils. The fill can be removed in mass until the fill surface is near the elevation of the
hydric soil surface. The equipment operator will need to be careful at this point not to
significantly disturb the original surface. This will likely require a light "raking" of the last
remaining fill material with a toothed bucket so as to remove as much as possible but not
break the original surface. Some remnant fill material will remain on the surface but
should not damage the overall restoration. The dark color of the original hydric soil
surface should be visible uniformly across the restored area.
Once the fill is removed, the area will be immediately seeded to a native seed mixture
such as that referenced below and planted to tree seedlings (see typical species list
below) during the next appropriate planting season (late fall through early spring).
Completed site preparation and planting a shall be inspected by the S&EC Designer.
The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment and labor to implement the
planting plan. Specific planting guidelines are discussed below.
All plants shall be as called for by these Specifications. All plants shall be free from
plant diseases and insect pests. All shipments of plants shall comply with all nursery
inspection and plant quarantine regulations of the states of origin and destination, as
well as with Federal regulations governing interstate movement of nursery stock. If
nursery stock from other states is used, the stock shall be accompanied by a tag or
certificate stating, in effect, that the nursery stock has been inspected and certified by an
authorized official of the state of origin as apparently free from injurious plant pests.
All plants shall be subject to inspection at any time by the S&EC Designer. Any such
inspection before or during planting operations, however shall not be construed as final
acceptance of the plants involved.
BARE-ROOT PLANTINGS
Hardwood species planted as bare-root seedlings must have a minimum of four (4) first-
order lateral roots (FOLR) that exceed 1 mm diameter. Seedlings that do not have the
minimum number of FOLR will be culled from planting.
Hardwood bare-root seedlings that will form the canopy must have a minimum root collar
diameter (RCD) of 3/8-inch. Seedlings with narrower RCD's will be culled from planting.
Timberlodge Wetland Restoration Plan - USACE Action ID # 200400678 Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA
Revised Augustl2, 2005

For certain species of bare-root seed that do not typically display RCD's of greater than
3/8-inch, such as bald cypress or river birch, a minimum RCD of 1/4-inch may be
allowed with the permission of the Owner.
The plant growing stock should be grown by nurseries within the same Coastal Plain
physiographic province within 200 miles of the project site or come from the NC Forest
Service Nursery system.
The storage, handling, and planting of bare-root seedlings will follow the procedures
outlined in the NC Division of Forest Resources' (NCFS) Pocket Guide to Seedling Care
and Planting Standards, 4"' Edition, which can be obtained at all NCFS county offices.
Planting will not take place on `Severe Days" as defined in the Pocket Guide to Seedling
Cam and Planting Standards.
All hardwood seedlings will be planted with shovels or augers rather than with a hoedad,
KBC bar, or OST bar. The Designer will monitor the planting operation to enforce
correct planting techniques. Each planted bare root seedling must be mulched with two
flakes from a bale of hay.
The Designer will conduct inspections, per the NCFS guidelines, during and/or after the
planting of all permanent vegetation.

toothed bucket (or disked or harrowed in non-wetland portions) to ensure soil aeration
and to increase the surface roughness prior to seeding.
Rework the surface if soil becomes compacted or crusted prior to seeding. Complete
seedbed preparation by breaking up large clods and raking into a smooth, uniform
surface.
Apply permanent seeding to seedbed after preparation is complete. Use certified seed
for permanent seeding whenever possible. Certified seed is inspected by the North
Carolina Crop Improvement Association. It meets published North Carolina Standards
and should bear an ofFcial "Certified Seed" label. Broadcast seed into a freshly
loosened seedbed that has not been settled by rainfall. Mulch must be used on slopes
4H:1V or steeper and in areas when concentrated water may flow. Anchor mulch with
netting in areas subject to concentrated flow. In areas with temporary channel lining will
be installed, no mulch shall be used and erosion control matting shall be placed within
24 hours of seeding. Apply seeds and mulch in disturbed areas at the rates indicated
below.
A mixture of Rye Grain @ 40 Ibs/acre and Panicum virgatum (switchgrass) @ 10
Ibs/acre or a single species seeding at the following rates should be applied once
grading is complete:
Rye Grain - 80 Ibs/acre
Panicum virgatum - 20 Ibs/acre
MULCH
Apply grain straw, or equivalent cover of another suitable mulching material on any
upland (non-wetland) areas disturbed during construction as described below. Anchor
mulch by tacking with asphalt, roving, netting, or crimping with straight disks. Netting
