Laurie-
Ian is going to be out of the office all day today, so when this comes in, can you please let me
know? I'll be at Parkview first, but I should be at Archdale by 10.
Thanks!

Crystal,
You should have a hard copy by 10:30am tomorrow.
Ian,
The print shop just informed me that they sent you one copy of the submittal; you should have
it by 10:30am tomorrow - they had been directed to send you a total of 5. I will get them out
tomorrow.
Let me know if either of you need additional digital files.
Thanks,
Chris Huysman

I want to reply to this. Can we huddle for a few minutes to help me get my bullet points together?
Thanks.

Sounds like Ian is ss ying he's not doing anything till the 404 is issued. The 401 and 404 are dill ent processes with
different showings. The applicant has clearly detailed the total impacts and agreed to mitiga . All the information your
staff requested including some that was not necessary for the 401 (site plan for stormwater was provided to Ian two
weeks ago. He does not need the purpose and need clarification the corps is requesting to do the 401. Looks like an
end run again. The owners are not going to be very happy when they get this update. I've talked and met with Ian 2-3
times in the past three weeks and none of this was mentioned.
Again, typical and the kind of thing that has the regulated community wanting blood.

Do not see how this really affects the WQ certification! I thought your process was independent from the Corps. Wish
you had indicated this to me a week ago when I asked the status. One would think the purpose and need would be a
Corps consideration not WQ. The application is clear as to what the total impacts to stream and wetlands will be.

Steve,
We are waiting on the rebuttal package (regarding project purpose and need) that has been scheduled to be delivered
to the USACE for the last couple of weeks. I got an email this afternoon from Crystal Amschler with the USACE stating
that this package must be delivered to the USACE by June 15, 2011, or the USACE will withdraw the application. We
cannot write the 401 Water Quality Certification until we know what the project is (as this affects impacts to surface
waters) and this currently is not settled. Once the purpose and need is established, it will be more clear how the 401
Water Quality Certification will need to be written and ideally what the total impacts to streams and wetlands will be.
Hopefully we will receive this information soon and the project determination and impacts can be established so we
may move forward.
Thanks,
Ian McMillan

Afternoon Chuck,
Just wanted to follow up on that 401 certification for the Anderson Creek project in Harnett County that we have met on
a couple times. About two weeks ago we provided Ian the last of the information they had requested at the meeting you
attended with staff, Chris Huysman and me as couple months back. Still have not seen anything from the 401 folks and I
have to brief the owner (David Levinson) and Governor Holshouser this Friday. I also know that Representative Lewis
has been asking them about the project.
Whatever you can find out from staff would be beneficial. E-mailed Ian a week or so ago and all he said was he was
working on it.
I just hope to keep things on a positive note because I know you guys have plenty of more important things to be
working on than a simple 401.
The owners are ready to proceed with the next phase but the key for the entire design and layout centers around the
lake and this 401.
Appreciate any feedback.
Steve

Just to update you ian. Still nothing on Anderson creek south, but I spoke to chris
yesterday and he said he was having trouble getting info together and asked for another
extension until 6/15. If we don't get the info from him by then we will be withdrawing the
application.

Anderson Creek
1. Should information go to Steve Tedder, Chris Huysman, or both?
2. Project is "On Hold" until we receive all requested information.
3. Requested site plans at a scale of 1"=50', on full plan sheets. Received 81/2" x 11", 11"
x 17", sheets at 1"=100' and 1"=300'. Also requested all surface waters (wetlands and
streams) to be located on the site plans, as well as all existing and proposed roads,
structures, and proposed impacts.
4. Have not included mitigation plan as requested and stated that would not submit
mitigation plan without assurance of receiving certification.
5. Stated would not seek reclassification until received permits to build lake. Betsy thought
it unlikely EMC would approve reclassification.
6. Disagree with agencies position that residential development is actual purpose and need
of project.
7. States flows will not be altered by lake, and later goes onto state that estimated 7Q10 is
zero.
8. Has not provided storm water plans as requested. Applicant requests deed restrictions on
lots to control imperviousness.
9. Did not provide building envelopes on lots with surface water features as requested.
10. Did not provide dam details as requested.
11. States DWQ does not consider science in review of water quality impacts that may result
from construction of impoundment.
12. Page 14, states DWQ may not comment on alternatives analysis.
13. No geotechnical exploration of subsurface soils in vicinity of proposed lake has been
performed to assure lake will hold water.
14. Did not submit site plan boundary located on published Harnett County soil survey.

Ian,
Thank you for the productive meeting last week. I will be meeting with the applicant later
this week to address the outstanding issues. We understand that we will need to 1) get a
letter from the NC EEP that can serve as a place holder for the mitigation, 2) get detailed
site plans for the first couple of phases of work, and 3) get a lake management plan.
We understand that you will be sending us a copy of the soil survey of the project vicinity
and a copy of the lake management plan for the Girl Scout Lake in Iredell County.
I have emailed Crystal Amschler and asked that she coordinate a field visit.
Thanks again.
