Dear Ms. Higgins:
We are in receipt of your September 30, 2011 response to our September 13, 2011 request for
modifications to the 401 Water Quality Certification for the Anderson Creek Club. The purpose of this
correspondence is to provide the additional information that you have requested.
Condition 7. Mitigation:
We are not able to secure documentation from the NCEEP that grants an extension until August 1, 2013.
However, attached is a letter from the EEP that states that an invoice will be issued to the Anderson Creek
Club once the 404 permit is issued. And, that "Extensions to the invoice can be requested and will be
issued until the permittee is ready to make a payment and move forward with their project." Each EEP
invoice will be valid for 60 days. Thus Anderson Creek will need to continually request extensions to the
invoice until they are ready to commence the project.
The language proposed in your September 30, 2011 letter does not need to be modified if the attached
letter from the EEP is acceptable in its form.
Condition 9. Lake and Stream Monitoring Plan:
We have attached a revised copy of the lake and stream monitoring and management plan for approval
(Attachment 2: Anderson Creek Club Lake and Stream Monitoring and Management Plan).
In closing, please let me know if there is any additional information that I might be able to provide to
expedite your review of these items. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call me at
336 / 406-0906.
Best regards,

Project: Anderson Creek Club Lake (DWQ# 11-0445)
County: Harnett
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as indicated in our letter
dated April 26, 2011. We have agreed to accept payment for the mitigation associated with impacts to up to 2,300 linear feet
of stream impact and 11.25 acres of riparian wetland impact. The acceptance letter previously issued has an expiration date of
January 26, 2012. The acceptance letter can be renewed if permits will not be issued prior to January 2012. If permits are
received prior to that date, EEP will issue an invoice that reflects the payment necessary to provide the mitigation required by
the issued 404 and 401 authorizations. It will not be necessary to maintain an acceptance letter after the permits are issued
since the requested mitigation will be assigned to EEP and EEP will take responsibility for the mitigation upon receipt of
payment.
The invoice will be valid as issued for 60 days. Extensions to the invoice can be requested and will be issued until the
permittee is ready to make a payment and move forward with their project. Payment must be made in accordance with the
issued permits prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In-Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is
calculated based upon the fee schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net. Any invoice extensions are subject to the fee
schedule in place at the time the invoice is issued.
Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. The mitigation will be
performed in accordance with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem Enhancement Program
In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010.
Thank you for your interest in the NCEEP. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kelly
Williams at [phone].

Anderson Creek Club
Lake and Stream Monitoring
and Management Plan
Anderson Creek Club
Lake and Stream
Monitoring and Management Plan
October 4, 2011
Objectives are to provide for an attractive, aesthetically pleasing, recreational lake for the general
use of the residents of Anderson Creek and the public with an efficient and organized
maintenance plan. This comprehensive plan will include lake and stream monitoring and certain
routine maintenance activities identified below. Our goal is to make certain the lake is
proactively-maintained as a safe and attractive recreational focal point for the property.
Duration:
After the lake is filled, Anderson Creek and its consultants will regularly monitor the lake and
streams for a period of five years. Technical management of the lake will be conducted by
Foster's Lake Management or other qualified lake management professionals. Proposed sample
locations are depicted on the attached map entitled Anderson Creek Club Lake and Stream
Sampling Locations (dated September 6, 2011).
Quantifiable parameters will be analyzed in State Certified laboratories. Observational
parameters will be conducted by trained staff familiar with the protocol in this document. An
annual report, which includes sampling forms, will be filed with the agencies at the end of each
monitoring year. The annual report will detail any corrective actions taken in response to water
quality sampling data.
Sample Locations:
Four jurisdictional stream locations are proposed to be monitored and are as described below:
• Stream 1: Downstream of the dam on the unnamed tributary (UT) to the South Prong
Anderson Creek
• Stream 2: At the confluence of the lake's UT and the South Prong Anderson Creek
• Stream 3: Proximate to Road Crossing 1 along the boundary of ACC North and ACC
South on a UT of the South Prong Anderson Creek
• Stream 4: Within ACC North on the South Prong Anderson Creek
Three in lake locations are proposed to be monitored and they are described as below:
• Lake 1: Proximate to the outlet structure at multiple depths
• Lake 2: Proximate to the middle of the lake at multiple depths
• Lake 3: Proximate to the head of the lake at multiple depths
One observational sample location will be defined in wetland areas as no streams enter the lake
• Wetland 1: Largest in acreage drainage into the lake
Potential Management Strategies:
Deviations from water quality standards within the lake will be addressed on a case by case basis
under the direction of qualified lake management specialists. Anticipated corrective actions
include but are not limited to the following: aerators will be used to influence issues with
dissolved oxygen and to a lesser degree temperature, liming will be used to influence issues
relating to pH and to a lesser degree hardness, plankton eating fish and approved dyes will be
used to influence issues relating to chlorophyll.
Deviations from water quality standards within receiving waters located at stream sample point
one will be addressed on a case by case basis. Anticipated corrective actions include but are not
limited to the following: low flow orifice alterations will be used to increase flows, splash-pad
modifications will be used to increase dissolved oxygen, depth of low flow orifice will be
manipulated to decrease / increase temperature.
Proposed Activities for Year-Round Management
? Consistent Monitoring
o Schedule quarterly visits to the lake and stream observation points during the year
with more frequent observations occurring during the months of May through
September. Upon filling, the quantifiable parameters will be measured each year
for five consecutive years in the pond and streams during January, April, July and
October. Fecal coliform will be sampled throughout the year when human
contact is expected. Observational parameters will be evaluated monthly between
May and September.
o Monitor the following during each visit to the lake and stream sampling points.
Observations will be included on each visit report. Adverse observations will
result in contacting Foster's Lake Management if developing conditions need
additional attention.
¦ general appearance including lake and stream water level, flows, presence
of surface film, and weather conditions
¦ water color and clarity
¦ aquatic vegetation present and healthy
¦ presence of aquatic life at each sampling point (informal BMAN
sampling)
¦ nuisance animal activity
¦ water quality (i.e. temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific
conductance, secchi depth, fecal coliform, turbidity, and hardness)
¦ fish population conditions
¦ presence of trash and/or debris
¦ drainage structure and emergency spillway condition
¦ condition of sediment collection forebays, berms, swales and riprap rock
channels
¦ condition of storm water inlets, outlets, pipes, conduits and conveyances
¦ condition of dam slopes, embankments, conduits and cover vegetation
¦ presence of aquatic life diversity at each stream sampling point
? Aquatic Vegetation Management
o Use an Integrated Pest Management approach to control nuisance aquatic
vegetation. Treatment strategies will be determined by existing conditions at the
time of the visit.
o If the need occurs, re-plant native, non-invasive aquatic plants to stabilize the
shoreline, provide cover for the fish and reduce excess nutrients. Plants can be
added to shoreline areas
? Lake Appearance Enhancement
o Pick up and remove trash (not including sticks, logs, leaves, pine straw, mulch
and natural debris) along the shoreline and on the lake surface; leaving organic
matter because it rarely causes problems, is a natural part of the lake ecosystem,
stabilizes the shoreline, provides habitat for aquatic organisms and may help
clarify the water.
o If circumstances arise resulting in the requirement of aeration and circulation
systems the lake management contractor shall advise recommended equipment
and applications that reduce the film (dust, pollen, tree litter, algae, etc.) or other
water quality issues of the lake if it becomes an issue.
? Fishing Enhancement
o Sample the fish population or make direct observations each visit. Sample with
cast nets, quadrant seines, hook and line and electro fishing. Make restocking
recommendations when necessary to achieve the lake objectives. Add fish of a
certain size and species that will gradually lead to meeting the approved balance
in the fish population.
o Stock the lake with sterile grass carp 10 - 12 inches long during the first service
year to help provide the least expensive long-term control of nuisance vegetation.
Stock an additional sterile grass carp each subsequent service year to account for
natural mortality.
o Stock tilapia each service year in the spring. Tilapia are tropical fish and will not
survive through the winter. The fish help control planktonic and filamentous algae
and are excellent forage fish for bass and other predator fish.
o Carefully monitor the forage, predator fish relationship and make
recommendations about adding structure, cover and habitat to the lake.
o Maintain a healthy minnow population in the lake that will help control insects
such as mosquitoes.
? Structures Monitoring and Enhancement
o Make recommendations as necessary to improve storm water flow and correct
erosion issues.
o Maintain floating docks, fish feeders, piers and fountains
o Maintain low flow orifice.
After each site visit, provide a detailed report explaining observations, activities and
recommendations.
? Additional Lake Management issues to be addressed on an as-needed basis.
o Make recommendations and suggestions for correcting conditions that could
develop into problems.
o Discuss lake management and answer questions at any time during the service
year.
o Provide guidance for the control of nuisance animals. Contract a licensed Animal
Damage Control Agent for the State of North Carolina as required addressing
these situations.
