Attached you will find a copy of the Carolina Golf Club Stream Mitigation Plan. The plan
was drafted by Backwater Environmental and demonstrates that stream restoration
practices will be conducted on 2091 linear feet of streams. Further, 1000 linear feet of
stream preservation will be conducted on the site. In concert, these actions will mitigate
the loss of streams flooded during the construction of the irrigation pond.
Additionally, the NC EEP has agreed to accept an in lieu fee payment for 252 linear feet
of stream impacts associated with the construction of the dam. The NC Division of Water
Quality is satisfied that the restoration can occur within an adjacent hydrologic unit
within the same drainage basin.
The application requested 167 linear feet of stream impacts for the construction of the
dam. This impact has been increased to 252 linear feet based on design modifications
necessary to meet the safety requirements of the Dam Safety Act. The approved plans
force additional impacts to streams at the toe of the dam to ensure against breach.
Specifically, the review required that an outlet channel be constructed from the outlet
basin to the natural channel: attached drawings illustrate this requirement. The outlet
channel will be constructed using natural design practices that are equivalent to the Class 1
riprap shown on the plans. Instead of rip -rap, the proponent will utilize the equivalent
river -stone and fabric; the banks will be re -vegetated with trees and shrubs. Much of this
reach is expected to be on shallow bedrock based on limited geotechnical studies. Flooding
impacts proposed in the original application have not changed; these impacts total 1800.

In addition to the mitigation plan and at the request of NC DWQ we have attached the
following: the application (July 5, 2006), Public Notice (August 11, 2006), and NC DWQ
correspondence (July 21, 2006, August 21, 2006, November 6, 2006, and December 21,
2006). Also, we have attached are portions of the most recent plans for the construction
of the dam (Sheets CG 101, 1 of 1 and 1 of 2, CG 102, and CG 104).
The Mooresville Regional Office asked that we detail the construction sequence of the
project. The intent is to construct the dam and fill the reservoir as the first phase of the
project (This would start as soon as the permit is issued). Filling the pond ensures that
ample water will be available to water the course during the re -construction which is
proposed for this fall. The incidental benefit is that the filled pond will have intrinsic
value for erosion control. Finally, the stream restoration will be conducted once the
course is re -sculpted; we anticipate that this work can be completed within 4 months of
the re -sculpting. Reserving the restorative actions to the end of the project will ensure
that the work is done with the least chance of sedimentation.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 336 / 406-0906 with questions relating to this
submittal or if you feel it would be beneficial to meet and discuss the project.

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document summarizes stream mitigation activities to be performed at the Carolina Golf
Club, located in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina (Figure 1). The project will provide
compensatory mitigation for stream impacts associated with construction of an impoundment,
primarily for irrigation and course habitat purposes, within this heavily urbanized landscape.
This concept plan is intended to facilitate issuance of a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
individual permit for the golf course improvements. The plan provides a description of stream
restoration, enhancement, and preservation activities along with a vegetation planting plan,
monitoring plan, success criteria, and final disposition / management of the conservation areas.
Detailed stream design and technical specifications will be finalized after further reference
stream studies and golf course renovation activities.
The mitigation includes approximately 2091 feet of stream restoration and enhancement and
approximately 1000 feet of stream preservation as depicted in Figure 2. In addition,
approximately 5.30 acres of riparian buffers will be established along the stream mitigation
corridors. The mitigation is contained on-site within the golf course and encompasses areas
surrounding the proposed impoundment. The streams have been identified as Reach 1, 2, 3, 6,
7, and 8 and range from former streams currently buried within pipes and culverts to impounded
sections that do not support viable riparian buffers or stream -side communities (Figure 3).
Land manipulations such as clearing of riparian vegetation, relocation, dredging, straightening,
and culverting of the streams has resulted in habitat loss, water quality concerns, and unstable
stream and riparian characteristics.
In this urbanized landscape, the primary objectives of this mitigation effort include the following:
1. Elevate and re -connect these stream channels and overbank flows to active
floodplains within the conservation areas.
2. Encourage wetland habitat and vegetation roughness within the stream channels
and on the restored floodplains to provide detention and to attenuate storm runoff
into downstream waters.
3. Establish in -stream and floodplain habitat for urban wetland species, including those
that assist in controlling mosquito populations (ex: tadpoles, toads, anoles, small
mammals, purple martin, waterfowl, etc.).
4. Restore and manage the conservation buffers for dense, herb, shrub and understory
dominated wetland species (for maximum vegetation roughness and golf course line -
of -sight requirements).
5. Prevent broadcast fertilizer, pesticides, or other chemicals from entering the
conservation buffers, the stream, and downstream waters.
6. Reestablish stream stability and the capacity to transport watershed flows and
attenuate sediment loads by restoring stable dimension, pattern, and profile
supported by natural in -stream habitat.
7. Improve aquatic habitat by removing culverts and enhancing stream bed variability
through the use of in -stream structures.
8. Provide wetland and wildlife habitat within buffers previously developed for urban
land uses.
9. Protect the streams and buffers in perpetuity with restrictive covenants.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
Physioaraphy, Watershed, and Land Use
The Site is located within the Charlotte and Milton Belts geologic formation within the Southern
Piedmont ecoregion of North Carolina. This hydrophysiographic region is underlain by the
metamorphosed granitic rocks characterized by moderately dissected, irregular plains with low
to moderate gradient streams (Griffith 2002). This region is characterized by moderately high
rainfall with precipitation averaging approximately 43 inches per year. This hydrophysiographic
region extends over a broad portion of the central North Carolina Piedmont from Greensboro to
the east and west to the base of the Blue Ridge Province. Reference stream attributes, used to
guide the stream mitigation design, will be further developed within the targeted
hydrophysiographic region for this project.
Approximate watershed areas are depicted in Figure 2 and range from 0.18 to 0.51 square
miles in size. Excluding the golf course area, the watersheds are heavily urban in character.
Impervious surfaces are expected to account for more than 50% of the land surface area.
Based on topographic mapping developed for this project (Figure 3), valley slopes range from
0.036 (3.6%) along the upstream periphery of Reach 1 to 0.009 (0.9%) within downstream limits
of the project. Stream channels are dominated by sand, silt, and small gravel beds in upper
watershed reaches to coarse sand, larger gravel, and small cobble dominated beds in larger
streams in the area.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 depict the approximate stream alignments and the proposed riparian
buffers. The 6 project reaches encompass 3091 linear feet of stream channel and 5.3 acres of
buffer restoration and management land. Detailed design parameters will be developed after
additional reference studies and golf course renovation activities Are completed.
Reference Studies and Functional Evaluations
A fundamental concept of stream mitigation involves the study of reference (relatively
undisturbed) streams and vegetation within the ecoregion as part of detailed planning.
Subsequently, measurement and analyses of existing and proposed conditions can be
performed. This method for stream mitigation ensures that the preferred ecosystem processes
and functions can be restored. This method ensures that form or shape of the stream channel
is not the most important design consideration for this project. Therefore, final design
parameters, based upon preferred riparian ecosystem functions, will be established in the Fall of
2007 once reference studies have been completed and golf course renovation activities are
underway.
Regional reference curves will be utilized to predict bankfull stream geometry, discharge, and
other parameters in the altered systems. Development of regional reference curves for North
Carolina was initiated in 1995. The curves characterize a broad range of streams within the
Piedmont physiographic province. Small watersheds or deviations in valley slope, land use, or
geologic substrates may not be accurately described by the curves; therefore, verification of
individual watersheds may be necessary. Off-site reference reaches will be utilized in
conjunction with regional curves for detailed planning and characterization of this mitigation
project. To the extent that channel form or shape is important in these projects, these regional
curves provide a reliable stream restoration tool in the Piedmont of North Carolina.

3.0 STREAM CHANNEL AND FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION
Stream Restoration on New Location
Stream restoration will be performed along Reaches 2, 3, and 6 as depicted in Figure 4. The
work is expected to entail 1) culvert removal, 2) belt -width preparation, 3) channel excavation, 4)
spoil stockpiling, 5) channel stabilization, 6) channel diversion, and 7) ditch backfill.
Belt -width corridor preparation will entail culvert removal, channel staking, floodplain clearing
and grubbing, and any necessary grading prior to channel excavation. After the floodplain has
been prepped, the proposed design channel will be staked and/or clearly marked to the design
parameters. Spoil material excavated during floodplain grading will be stockpiled adjacent to
the existing channels to be abandoned and backfilled after construction of the new channel is
complete.
Once belt -width corridor preparation is complete, the proposed channel will be excavated to the
average width, depth, and cross-sectional area derived from reference reach studies and
detailed measurements of the onsite reach. Stream banks and the belt -width area of
constructed channels will be immediately planted with shrub and herbaceous vegetation. Root
mats may also be selectively removed from adjacent areas and placed as erosion control
features on channel banks.
Once the proposed design channel has been excavated and stabilized, abandoned channels
will be backfilled utilizing spoil material stockpiled from floodplain grading and channel
excavation.
In -stream Structures
The use of in -stream structures for grade control and habitat are essential for successful stream
restoration. In -stream structures may be placed in the channel to elevate local water surface
profiles in the channel, potentially flattening the water energy slope or gradient. The structures
would likely consist of boulder -size rock vanes, j -hook vanes, and/or step -pool devices designed
primarily to direct stream energy into the center of the channel and away from banks. In
addition, the structures would be placed in relatively straight reaches to provide secondary
(perpendicular) flow cells during bankfull events.
Stream Restoration In -Place
As depicted in Figure 5, stream restoration on Reach 6, and Reach 7 will be performed along
the existing channels, including: 1) cessation of current land management practices adjacent to
the streams; 2) excavation of active floodplain benches adjacent to sections of the incised
channels; 3) installation of in -stream and bank structures to promote bed variability and aquatic
habitat; and 4) planting with native floodplain vegetation. Planting with native vegetation is
discussed in detail in Section 4.0 of this document.
Stream Preservation and Management
Preservation is being proposed on approximately 1000 linear feet of stream labeled as Reach 8
in Figure 5. Based on preliminary analysis and field investigations, this reach maintains a
relatively intact, forested riparian buffer and stable stream bed form. Long term management
will include periodic inspection and removal of garbage or contaminants from streams. These
areas will also be supplemental planted with native hardwood species characteristic of a
Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Hardwood Forest, as described in Classification of the Natural
Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley 1990). These areas will be protected in
Carolina Golf Club Stream Mitigation Plan Page 5 of 8
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina

perpetuity through the establishment of restrictive covenants encompassing the riparian
corridor.
4.0 VEGETATION COMMUNITY RESTORATION
Deep-rooted, riparian vegetation will be established within 5.3 acres of restored floodplain and
riparian buffer. Planting vegetation on cleared stream banks is proposed to reestablish
vegetation community patterns within the stream corridor, associated side slopes, and transition
areas. Revegetating the floodplain and stream banks will provide stream bank stability, shade
and cool surface waters, filter pollutants from adjacent runoff, and provide habitat for area
wildlife. The vegetated stream buffer will extend to a minimum of 30 feet on both sides of the
stream. Scarification of floodplain surfaces may be required prior to planting.
Variations in vegetative planting may occur based on topographic locations, line of sight
requirements for the golf course fairways, and hydraulic conditions of the soil. Vegetative
species composition should mimic reference forest data and onsite observations. Based on
reference communities in the region, species expected for this project may include the following
elements.

13) American Holly (Ilex opaca)
14) Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida)
15) Downy Serviceberry (Amelanchier arbores)
Species distribution and densities are expected to be determined during development of the
detailed specifications for channel and floodplain restoration work.
Nuisance Species Management
Prior to the revegetation phase of the project, nonnative floral species will be removed. Exotic
species currently identified within the project area include multiflora rose and Chinese privet.
These species are fast growing and tend to overwhelm and out -compete the plant communities
proposed for stabilization of the new stream channel. These species will be controlled as
needed within the riparian buffers by cutting and grubbing in addition to chemical herbicide
treatment approved for wetland applications.
Beavers and other potential nuisance species will be monitored over the course of the 5 -year
monitoring period. Appropriate actions will be taken to ameliorate any negative impacts
regarding vegetation development and/or water management on an as -needed basis.
5.0 MONITORING PLAN
Monitoring of Site restoration efforts will be performed for five years or until agreed upon
success criteria are fulfilled. Monitoring is proposed for the stream channel and vegetation
communities.
Stream Monitoring
Annual fall monitoring will include development of channel cross-sections on riffles and pools,
pebble counts, and a water surface profile of the channel. The data will be presented in graphic
and tabular format. Data to be presented will include 1) cross-sectional area, 2) bankfull width,
3) average depth, 4) maximum depth, 5) width -to -depth ratio, 6) meander wavelength, 7) belt -
width, 8) water surface slope, 9) sinuosity, and 10) stream substrate composition. A
photographic record of preconstruction and postconstruction conditions will also be compiled.
Stream Success Criteria
Success criteria for stream restoration will include 1) successful classification of the reach as a
functioning stream system (Rosgen 1996a) and 2) channel variables indicative of a stable
stream system.
Visual assessment of in -stream structures will be conducted to determine if failure has occurred.
Failure of a structure may be indicated by collapse of the structure, undermining of the structure,
abandonment of the channel around the structure, and/or stream flow beneath the structure.
Vegetation Monitoring
After planting has been completed in winter or early spring, an initial evaluation will be
performed to verify planting methods and to determine initial species composition and density.
Supplemental planting and additional Site modifications will be implemented, if necessary.
During quantitative vegetation sampling in early fall of the first year, sample plots will be
randomly placed within the Site. In each sample plot, vegetation parameters to be monitored
include species composition and species density. Visual observations of the percent cover of
shrub and herbaceous species will also be recorded.
Carolina Golf Club Stream Mitigation Plan Page 7 of 8
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina

i
Vegetation Success Criteria
An average density of 320 stems per acre of Character Tree Species must be surviving in the
first three monitoring years. Subsequently, 290 Character Tree Species per acre must be
surviving in year 4 and 260 Character Tree Species per acre in year 5.
Contingency
Stream
In the event that stream success criteria are not fulfilled, a mechanism for contingency will be
implemented. Stream contingency may include, but may not be limited to 1) structure repair
and/or installation; 2) repair of dimension, pattern, and/or profile variables; and 3) bank
stabilization. The method of contingency will be dependent upon stream variables that are not
in compliance with success criteria. Primary concerns, which may jeopardize stream success,
include 1) structure failure, 2) headcut migration through the Site, and/or 3) bank erosion.
Vegetation Contingency
If vegetation success criteria are not achieved based on average density calculations from
combined plots over the entire restoration area, supplemental planting will be performed with
native tree species approved by regulatory agencies. Supplemental planting will be performed
as needed until achievement of vegetation success criteria.
6.0 FINAL DISPENSATION
After restoration is completed, Carolina Golf Club will maintain ownership of the stream
corridors. In addition, restrictive covenants will be placed over the land area to protect the
conservation areas. Carolina Golf Club will remain responsible for project implementation,
achievement of success criteria, and long term management of the property.

Ms. Jones:
Attached is an application for an individual permit to construct an irrigation pond within
the Carolina Golf Club. All of the following information is available in digital format and
will be forwarded to you upon your request.
Applicant Carolina Golf Club, Inc.
Attn: Mr. Bobby Pifer
PO Box 668023
Charlotte, NC 28266
Agent Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants
Attn: Mr. Chris Huysman
115 Atwood Street, Suite 407
Sparta, NC 28675
Location
The project, a proposed 24 million gallon irrigation pond (7.16 -acre), is located within the
Carolina Golf Course, an approximately 171.5 acre piece of property that is located east of
Steele Creek Rd, and west of Donald Ross Road, approximately 2 miles west of I-77 in
Mecklenburg County, NC. Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the site are 35.21540
North, 80.89830 West. The site contains an unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek in the
Lower Catawba River Basin (8 -Digit Cataloging Unit 03050103).
Existing Site Conditions
The land use in the area surrounding the project is commercial and residential. The land
use on the project site is a recreational golf course comprised of fairways, greens and
tees. The site contains two ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and a tributary
that runs in to Irwin Creek. The unnamed tributary drains to Irwin Creek approximately

115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407
Sparta, NC 28675
0.7 miles downstream of the proposed dam site. Specifically, the pond will be located
within an area that has been recently timbered; the timbering allows for a new golf hole to
cross in the vicinity of the proposed pond.
Applicant's Stated Purpose
As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide an irrigation pond with
a volume of 24 million gallons to maintain existing greens, tees, and fairways.
Project Description
The irrigation pond will allow for the facility to have a sustainable water source for the
approximately 70 acres of turf. Based on acceptable industry standards a golf course of
this size requires 630,000 gallons per day during dry periods. This total volume is based
on a daily requirement for 9,000 gallons per acre in consideration of an evapo-
transporation rate of 0.20 inches per day with. The irrigation pond will eliminate the need
for the applicant to purchase potable water from the City of Charlotte.
Site constraints limit the placement of the pond to the proposed location. In order to
achieve the volumes needed for the project the pond must be 7 acres in size and must be
an average of 10 feet deep. No high ground alternatives provide adequate volume for the
required water.
Development of the site will require grading the proposed dam site, and filling necessary
to impound the stream. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull
dozers, etc., will be used for the construction of the project. Completion of the proposed
project would require the construction of a dam embankment to impound water. The top
width of the dam is proposed to be 20 feet, and the side slope for the dam is proposed to
be 3:1. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels resulting from the placement
of fill material associated with the dam totals 167 linear feet or 0.015 acres of stream
surface area. The proposed impacts resulting from flooding streams total 1800 linear feet
or 0.101 acres of stream surface area. Plans included with this notice show the overall
proposed site layout as well as details of the proposed dam.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels through onsite
restoration of 2080 linear feet of streams and preservation of 1000 linear feet of
streams on the site. Mitigation Figures are attached to this application.
Other Required Authorizations
This notice and all applicable materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State
agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision until the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State

Carolina Golf Club
Project Purpose and Need
Carolina Gold Club plans to construct a seven acre irrigation pond for the
purposes of watering the fairways and the putting greens. The pond must be
this size to provide 24 million gallons of water for the existing 70 acres of
turf.
The proposed pond is needed to hold a large enough volume of water to last
five to eight days in drought conditions, and still maintain adequate flow
downstream. Currently the two existing ponds located on the property do
not have the volumetric capabilities required for the necessary irrigation to
sustain live turf during drought conditions.
Currently Carolina Golf Club has two small ponds located on the property for
the purposes of irrigation. These ponds are shallow, and do not hold the
volume of water required for the necessary irrigation to maintain fairways
and greens on the golf course, during the late summer months, and drought
conditions. The primary source of water for the ponds is ground water. The
groundwater discharge into the pond is not adequate to maintain suitable
pond levels for pumping. Based on statements from the applicant, it only
takes three nights of normal irrigation in drought like conditions for the
lower pond to be drained beyond use. Currently during periods of low rainfall
or no rainfall for several weeks in a row, the ponds have to be refilled
through the use of city water, bought from the city of Charlotte. Buying city
water is not an economically feasible option.
The golf course is just over eighty years old. The course has been relatively
unchanged in those eighty years. The course is now attracting fewer and
fewer players due to lack of changes, which in turn, takes an economic toll on
the club. During the late summer months and in drought conditions, the
course receives many complaints about the two existing ponds being drawn
down to aesthetically unpleasing levels. A larger pond with a large surface
area and larger volume, such as the proposed irrigation pond, would not show
the effects of irrigation pumping as bad, thus making the aesthetics of the
course more pleasing.

Y
Carolina Golf Club
Avoidance and Minimization
The proponents have looked to find alternate means to avoid building a new
pond. None of the other options looked at are feasible for the purposes of
the needed irrigation. Not only are the other options not feasible for
irrigation, they are not economically practical.
One of the options considered was dredging the ponds out to a deeper
depth, thus increasing the volume. Based on the opinion of a hydrogeologist
the underground water supply is not sufficient to keep the ponds full. Even
of this were possible it would take a more powerful pump to retrieve water
from the greater depths. The cost of buying new pumps and the increased
energy does not make this option cost efficient nor aesthetically pleasing to
the members using the course when they are drawn down for irrigation.
Another alternative that was reviewed and found unacceptable was creating
an offline pond in the low area near the location of the proposed pond. This
alternative would not provide the needed volume since only 4 acres of low
area is available. Theoretically, a dyke could be built along the banks of the
stream and across the lower end of high ground, creating pond in high ground
but the volume the volume cannot be achieved.
An alternative that has been utilized and is not cost efficient nor
responsible is the use of city water to keep the irrigation ponds full. On
average, $30,000 to $35,000 dollars is spent each year to buy water from
the City of Charlotte. In year 2002, during the drought, roughly $45,000
was used to buy water from the city. One particular time, pumps ran fifty-
four hours and pumped $10,000 worth of potable water into the ponds. With
the water restrictions Charlotte places during summer months and drought
conditions, it is unclear how much longer they will allow the use of city water
for irrigation purposes. From the prospective of the golf course
management, they need the water in order to maintain live turf and to stay
open for business, but do not want to be depriving the City of Charlotte of
water during dry times.

Carolina Golf Club
Mitigation Proposal
Summary:
The proponent is requesting a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the flooding impacts
and a 2:1 ratio for the filling impacts. Wetlands and streams not impacted
by the proposed development as well as those areas restored and created
under this proposal will be preserved under a permanent restrictive covenant
in the spirit of the Corps guidelines dated August 2003.
Stream Mitigation:
Stream impacts can be separated into two separate classes that merit
differing mitigation ratios based upon the effect of the discharge and
subsequent flooding. Impacts resulting from the construction of the
impoundment result in a permanent loss of waters while impacts associated
with flooding result in a net increase in regulated Waters of the US.
The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be
protected through a low -flow cool -water / aerating discharge.
A final mitigation plan showing structures and their locations will be
submitted to the Corps within 30 days of the issuance of the permit. The
attached figures show the preliminary location of the reaches to be
mitigated. Preliminary studies indicate that there are approximately 2080
linear feet of restoration potential disbursed amongst 5 stream reaches.
Onsite Mitigative Treatments and Restoration Plan
Within 90 days of the approval of the restoration plans the applicant will
provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the
preservation areas and the restrictive language.

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
(33 U.S.C. 1344).
Location
The proposed 7 acre irrigation pond is located within the existing Carolina Golf Course, located
east of Steele Creek Rd, and west of Donald Ross Road, approximately 2 miles west of I-77 in
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (35.2154° North, 80.89830 West). The site contains an
unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek in the Lower Catawba River Basin (8 -Digit Cataloging Unit
03050103). The Catawba River ultimately reaches the Atlantic Ocean via the Santee -Cooper
River system in South Carolina.
Existing Site Conditions
The surrounding land use is commercial and residential. The land use on the project site is a
recreational golf course comprised of fairways, greens and tees. The site contains two existing
ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and unnamed tributaries to Irwin Creek. The

required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The receipt of the application and
this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh serves as application to the NCDWQ
for certification. A waiver will be deemed to occur if the NCDWQ fails to act on this request for
certification within sixty days of the date of the receipt of this notice in the NCDWQ Central
Office. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at
the NCDWQ Central Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-2260. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the
application for certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act should do so in writing
delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 Attention: Ms Cyndi Karoly by September 11, 2006.
Essential Fish Habitat
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the
Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial determination
is that the proposed project will not adversely impact EFH or associated fisheries managed by
the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the National Marine
Fisheries Service.
Cultural Resources
The Corps has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places
and is not aware that any registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion
therein are located within the project area or will be affected by the proposed work. Presently,
unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical data may be located within the
project area and/or could be affected by the proposed work.
Endangered Species
The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the applicant and
consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on available information,
the Corps has determined pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, that the proposed
project will have no effect on federally listed endangered or threatened species or their formally
designated critical habitat.
Evaluation
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts,
including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will
reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The
benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against
its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which maybe relevant to the proposal will be
considered including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife
values, flood hazards, flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use,
navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water

pipe is approximately 1801f. However, this figure does not account for the stream's sinuosity nor does it
include the riprap dissipater. The dissipater relocates (replaces) a segment of the existing stream channel
increasing the linear feet of stream impact. Based on our review, total stream impact for the dam and rip rap
dissipater is approximately 300 If. Not the 1671f proposed in the application.
Failure to submit the requested information by December 15, 2006 may result in the application being withdrawn
from consideration. You will be notified and at that time you may re -apply for a 401 Water Quality Certification,
however a new application and fee will be required.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(h), please be advised that this project will be placed on hold until such time as the
requested information has been received. In addition, this office is requesting that the Army Corps of Engineers withhold
processing the 404 permit until the requested information is provided. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Alan
Johnson at [phone] or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at [phone].

The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification for
the subject project on July 19, 2006. Mr. Alan Johnson of this office reviewed the application, and letters were
issued from this office on August 21St and November 6th requesting more information regarding a final stream
restoration plan and clarification of stream impacts. As of this date no information has been received. Due to
the failure to submit the requested information by the requested date of December 15, 2006 the application for a
401 Water Quality Certification is being withdrawn from consideration. Should you decide to reapply, a new
complete application and fee will be required. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Alan Johnson at
[phone] or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at [phone].
