Specific plans and location information are described below and shown on the attached plans. This Public Notice and all attached plans are also available on the Wilmington District Web Site at www.saw.usace.army.lniUwetlands Applicant: Ginn-Laurel Creek GP, LLC p ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ D Attn: Mr. Doug Miller 389 Little Laurel Road Extension RPR 2 ~ 206 Boone, North Carolina 28607 DENk. -WATER 4UALIlY AGENT: E'nV Environmental Consulting Services, Inc. ~~pSq~,~pgT(~MWATERBRANCH Attn: Mr. John C,Vilas 3764 Rominger Road Banner Elk, North Carolina 28604 Authority The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Location The proposed project, Laurelmor, is located on an escarpment of the Blue Ridge physiographic region in the Elk and Blue Ridge Townships, Watauga and Wilkes Counties, North Carolina (36.155347°N, -81.530937°W). The site is bounded on the west by Sampson Road (SR 1526), on the east by Elk Creek Road (SR 1508), and is about two miles below the Blue Ridge Pazkway. The property is approximately 6050 acres. The site contains wetlands as determined by the USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual that are adjacent to several jurisdictional streams on site. The northern portion of the tract drains into South Fork Laurel Creek. Laurel Creek confluences with Elk Creek near the eastern boundary of the property. Several tributaries drain -, ,;f + ._+ Q.• the eastern section of the tract directly into Elk Creek. Dugger Creek drains a lazge portion of the tract's interior. The southwest region of the site drains into Little Dugger. Little Dugger Creek flows into Dugger Creek at the southern boundary of the property. Dugger Creek flows into Elk Creek approximately 1-mile below the property. A small azea of the property to the west of Little Dugger Mountain forms the headwaters of Tony's Branch. Horton Branch drains approximately 350-acres of the project area. Both Horton and Tony's Branch flow into Joe's Creek. These streams are tributaries the Yadkin River. The Yadkin River is a tributary to the Pee Dee River, which is navigable in fact below the Blewett Falls Dam. Existing Site Conditions The proposed Laurelmor project area is representative of valley and ridge topography common throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rugged ridges and steep side slopes (30-50%) typically characterize the uplands throughout the site. Vertical and neaz vertical rock outcroppings are frequent across the property. Scree fields, formed by an accumulation of unconsolidated rock debris, are present along mid to upper coves in the northwestern portion of the property. Valley bottoms along streams are generally narrow and steep to moderately sloping. Benches above stream channels and along side slopes aze relatively infrequent. Elevations across the site generally decrease from Mast Knob (approximately 3500 feet) southeast to the confluence of Dugger Creek and Little Dugger Creek (approximately 1400 feet). There has been relatively little human activity across most of this site. The project area consists primarily of undeveloped forested land. Logging occurred throughout the site in the late 1930s and early 1940s and was followed by a substantial fire. Approximately 50 acres was cultivated throughout the first half of the 20`h century, but has since reverted to mature forest. A second timber harvest occurred on portions of the site in the late 1980's resulting in the construction of numerous logging roads and skidder trails. There aze numerous first order streams that still suffer from the excessive erosion and sedimentation induced during this logging event. The only structures located within the 6050-acre tract are an old fire tower atop Dugger Mountain and a simple camping shelter located along Dugger Creek. Road improvements from Triplett Road along the ridges have been the primary recent work. Ten named blue line streams and fifteen intermittent streams were identified from the USGS topographic quadrangles. That number grew to 350 intermittent and perennial streams amounting to approximately 64 miles of channel after the completion of a field investigation of the property. In general the property drains to the southeast. Numerous headwater basins with intricate dendritic drainage patterns aze found throughout the site. The northern portion of the tract drains to South Fork Laurel Creek. The eastern section drains to Elk Creek, which is the primary collector for the site as South Fork Laurel Creek and the Dugger Creek system drain to it. The majority of the center of the property drains to Little Dugger Creek, a tributazy to Dugger Creek. All of the streams in this system (including these tributazies: Swift Ford, Flat Branch, Pine Knob, Long Cove, and Puncheon Cove) have been classified as by the NCDWQ as Trout Waters and Outstanding Resource Waters. A small section of the western side of the property forms the headwaters of Tony's Branch. Horton Branch drains approximately 350-acres of the project area. Both Tony's and Horton Branches are classified as Trout Waters. All streams are well shaded with a mix of hazdwood and conifer trees and shrubs and often a dense under story of rhododendron. A wetland delineation report was prepared and submitted to the USACE on November 16, 2005. There were a total of 8.27 acres of jurisdictional wetlands delineated. They were generally restricted to narrow strips and small benches along stream corridors. There were three distinct types of wetlands identified. These were riparian forests, high elevation seeps, and a high elevation wet meadow. The riparian forest wetlands aze scattered throughout the site and are located within valleys containing pockets of riparian and abandoned side channel wetlands. The hydrology is typically provided by fluctuating stream levels, ground water dischazge, and direct surface runoff. Dryer habitats aze often embedded within these areas and the transition between them is usually mazked by an abrupt topographic break. High elevation seeps are ground water fed wetlands located at the head of streams and along stream channels. They were formed as a result of the underlying geology. Vegetation typically found in these azeas included Acer rubrum, Smilax rotundifolia, Leucothoe sp., Betula lenta, Juncus effuses, and Carex sp. The wet meadow occupies approximately 0.36 acres and is located near the head of a significant tributary to Dugger Creek at an elevation of approximately 2030 feet. This wetland is formed by multiple seeps with substantial discharge into a broad valley area of moderately low-grade along a relatively high-elevation shelf. A braided and sinuous perennial stream dissects the site, creating an intricate drainage network across the surface. It differs from the riparian wetlands by having fewer shrubs and trees. This is a result of continually inundated and/or saturated conditions. Typical vegetation within this area included Carex sp., Juncus effuses, Lobelia cardinalis, Yitus sp., Rhododendron calendulaceum, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Osmunda cinnamomea. Applicant's Stated Purpose The applicant has proposed to construct aloes-density, residential resort development with championship golf course(s) in southeastern Watauga County, North Carolina. Permanent impacts to aquatic resources associated with this development would be incurred with the construction of a golf course(s) and temporary impacts would be associated with the installation of utility lines. Project Description The proposed Laurelmor development has been designed as aloes-density residential destination resort community containing approximately 1200 individual lots. The community would be served by over 50 miles of roads and a privately owned and operated water and sewer system. There are also approximately 950 multi-family townhome and condominium units proposed that would be located in several cluster development areas. The proposed amenities include two 18- hole championship golf courses, a large indoor water park, an equestrian center, vineyards, restaurants, and recreational trails. 3 Permanent impacts to Waters of the US are proposed to occur at eleven locations within the project area. All proposed impacts aze associated with the construction of two 18-hole golf courses. There are five proposed impoundments and six proposed areas where portions of streams would be piped through aFrench-drain system. The proposed impacts can be described as either inundation or filUpipe. Total permanent impacts would include 0.18 acre of jurisdictional wetland and 6331 liner feet of stream. The stream impacts can be divided into 4413 linear feet of perennial stream (2842 linear feet inundated and 1571 linear feet filled/piped) and 1918 linear feet of intermittent stream (646 linear feet inundated and 1484 linear feet filled/piped). All of the proposed permanent impacts are associated with the two championship golf courses. The applicant evaluated "tens" of layouts for 36-hole combined courses and other combinations of independent 9-hole and 18-hole courses that would result in 36 holes available for play. The courses would be laid out along ridge tops, which, according to the applicant, would reduce impacts to Waters of the US, but would have greater irrigation requirements and no water features. To complete the desired plan, 1490 linear feet of stream (218 feet of perennial and 1272 feet of intermittent) and 0.034 acres of jurisdictional wetland would be piped and filled for the construction of 5 golf course holes and the driving range, and 4841 linear feet of stream (4195 feet of perennial and 646 feet of intermittent) and 0.144 acres of jurisdictional wetland would be piped or inundated for the construction of S lakes. There would be 25 locations where utility lines, primarily sewer lines, will cross jurisdictional Waters of the US. All of these crossings would involve temporary impacts to streams totally no more than 625 linear feet (no more than 25 linear feet per crossing). The restoration of the temporary impacts would involve the replacement of natural substrate material and the restoration of the pre-existing channel gradient. The applicant has provided information related to avoidance and minimization employed as part of the development of the proposed project. The development concept was to confine the majority of the development infrastructure to ridge tops and upper slope areas leaving the stream corridors and lower slopes largely undeveloped. Golf cart paths will include bridges to eliminate the need for fill in Waters of the US. The road network for Laurehnor would consist of approximately 50 miles of county standard subdivision roads (widths from 18 to 20 feet) with no curb and gutters. Included as part of the roadway system, there would be 24 bridged crossings with no impacts to Waters of the US. The development plan has been designed such that no streams or buffers would be included within any residential lots. All streams, wetlands, and buffers would remain in the control of the Applicant and would be held in common area or conservation easements (held by Blue Ridge Rural Land Trust) to be permanently protected. The applicant states that the lakes proposed in the vicinity of the golf course are needed as a primary source of irrigation water as well as a reliable source of water for fighting fires both on the site and regionally. Alternate options for obtaining the necessary water have been evaluated. Treated effluent from the on-site waste water treatment facility would be used to the maximum extent possible, but availability would be limited until at least the year 2017 when it is anticipated that the site would reach 60% build out. A result of using treated effluent to the maximum extent possible as part of the irrigation system, which the applicant intends to do, there 4 would be no direct discharges of treated effluent to any streams on or off the site. Potential available flows from treated effluent would be significant, but would not meet the proposed demand, especially during the initial grow-in phase and severe droughts. The applicant has also investigated using groundwater pumped from on-site wells. Over asix-month period, 20 wells have been drilled in the areas with highest potential for ground water and to date approximately 550 gallons per minute has been yielded. This would all be needed for the potable water supply and would not be sufficient to satisfy the irrigation demand even if it could all be used for that purpose. Finally, the applicant investigated pumping water from local streams for irrigation and fire suppression. The required rate of pumping to meet peak demand would be approximately 3 cubic feet per second and this would occur during periods of severe drought. Sever drought would result in low stream flow. Based on all of this information, the applicant believes that a series of lakes would be the best way to obtain a reliable source of water to meet both irrigation and fire suppression demands. Compensatory Mitigation proposed for this project includes a combination of on-site restoration and enhancement, on-site preservation, off-site restoration and enhancement, and payment to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program. The applicant has proposed to use a 3:1 ratio for fill or pipe related impacts to perennial streams, 1.5:1 for flooding impacts to perennial streams, 2:1 for fill or pipe impacts to intermittent streams, and 1:1 for flooding impacts to intermittent streams. Wetland impacts would be mitigated at a ratio of 2:1. The applicant's consultant has identified several stream reaches on the site that have been altered or degraded due to past logging, agricultural, and residential activities. In addition, there are three existing on-line ponds that could be removed and a natural channel reestablished. The total of on-site restoration is approximately 2500 linear feet. In the vicinity of the on-site restoration is approximately 1000 linear feet of enhancement work that should be done. Also proposed is a large quantity of on-site preservation. A conservation easement area consisting of approximately 2000 to 2500 acres is proposed that will encompass over 60 miles of stream corridor and associated buffer area. The applicant is currently working with the Wilkes County office of the USDA NRCS to located additional off-site mitigation areas within the Upper Yadkin basin. A request has been submitted to the NC EEP to request payment into the In-Lieu Fee program and Mr. David Robinson of the EEP responded that payment would be accepted. The applicant proposes to use the EEP option to cover any unmitigated impacts after all other options are fully utilized. When the applicant initially purchased the 5600-arce property, there was an existing permitted project (Heavenly Mountain Resort (HMR) Golf Course) associated with a 1200-acre portion of the site. A permit was issued to Kaplan Holdings LLC for the HMR project on November 24, 2003 (Action ID No. 200330353). The HMR Golf Course has not been constructed and the current applicant does not wish to construct it in the future. Ginn-Laurel Creek GP, LLC is requesting that the single payment of $83,000 made to cover 415 linear feet of stream impact associated with the HMR project be applied toward the overall mitigation requirements that might be necessary for the current project proposal. Wetland mitigation would be accomplished with on-site, in-kind restoration and creation at a 2:1 ratio. The location of this work would correspond to the proposed stream restoration work in the old pond beds. In addition, there is an old home site on the property adjacent to Triplett Road that contains outbuildings surrounded by wetlands. The applicant proposes to remove the outbuildings and restore the wetlands at these locations.
