1.17 ac.
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
4,929 If intermittent, 4,620 If perennial
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of this project was to develop the property into a single-family subdivision located in Mooresville, North Carolina. This area is experiencing rapid population growth due to
its proximity to 1-77 that provides easy access to
the area and connects it to other rapidly growing cities such as Troutman, Charlotte, and Kannapolis, while also being close to
Lake Norman amenities. There is a need for residential housing in order to meet the current demand within this highly desirable area and economic market.
A Nationwide Permit verification was originally issued for this project on March 8, 2017 (SAW-2012-00125). However, the original permit has expired and corrective measures are
needed to meet the 404/401 permit conditions as the installed culvert does not convey the flow properly.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
A Nationwide Permit verification was originally issued for this project on March 8, 2017 (SAW-2012-00125), authorizing 147 linear feet of stream impacts and 0.002 acre watland impacts
under Nationwide Permit No. 29.
However, the original permit has expired and corrective measures are needed to meet the 404/401 permit conditions as the installed culvert at Rankinhill Road does not convey the flow
properly (Stream Impact #1, Attachment C; Photographs 1 and 2, Attachment F).
In July 2021, a retaining wall failed above a culvert on Rankin Hill Rd. Subsequent repairs, including creating a poured concrete wall, disturbed the stream near the culvert.
Work within a stream is required to properly connect the outfall of the culvert back with the stream. This will result in approximately 50 If of temporary impacts upstream of the culvert and
150 If downstream of the culvert. The additional impacts will involve repairing the perched pipe by creating a step pools in order to bring the stream from the culvert elevation down to
the present stream elevation, pump -around system, sediment removal, and stream bank stabilization.
In order to connect the existing stream to the culvert and allowthe downstream end of the culvert to be buried, the downstream section of stream's bed will be raised to 1' above the
invert of the pipe. Additionally, the upstream section of the stream will be funneled, using boulder toes, into the upstream end of the pipe to eliminate stream flows underneath the
adjacent retaining wall. The stream's flowwill be forced into the pipe at an elevation 1' above the invert of the pipe. Once the stream exits the pipe it will be returned to the existing bed
elevation through a series of rock sills and constructed riffles. These structures will provide for a stable transition from the pipe outlet to the existing bed of the stream. Where the
stream bank is disturbed, restorative seeding using Native Wetland Seed and matting of CN125BN, a 100 % coconut and cotton fiber matting, or coir coconut fiber matting shall be used.
Matting should be secured With stakes . All disturbed areas will be restored. Please see Attachment E for details.

Cornelius House. CWS contracted TRC Environmental Corporation
(TRC) to evaluate the potential effects of this project on any Cultural Resources adjacent to this project.
TRC stated that "There are no previously recorded archaeological resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the proposed Rankin Hill Subdivision. One
NRHP listed property was found adjacent to the southern border of the subdivision. The Cornelius
House was an early nineteenth home that was listed on the NRHP in 1980. The home possessed architectural characteristics that were unique to this
area of North Carolina. Map research indicates that the National Register listed Cornelius House is no longer standing. The house has been
demolished and no longer meets the criteria necessary for inclusion on the NRHP. TRC recommends that the proposed subdivision will have no effect
on the Cornelius House property." A copy of the Assessment of
Effects on Cultural Resource report is attached. The aforementioned report was forwarded to the SHPO on November 11, 2016 to determine the
presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. In a response letter dated
December
13, 2016, SHPO states that they "are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." A copy of the SHPO response letter is
attached.

Rankin Hill Subdivision (AKA Atwater Landing)
Mooresville, North Carolina
CWS Project No, 2016-3979
Dear Ms. Stygar and Mr. Johnson,
The Rankin Hill site is approximately 212 acres in extent and is located west of the Rankin Hill Road and
Fern Hill Road intersection in Mooresville, North Carolina (Figures 1 and 2, Attachment A). DR Horton has
contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide Section 404/401 permitting services for this
project. An executed Agent Authorization Form is attached (Attachment B).
CWS is submitting an After -the Fact Pre -Construction Notification pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 29 to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality for the impacts
to the jurisdictional waters of the U.S. associated with developing the property into a residential development.
A Nationwide Permit verification was originally issued for this project on March 8, 2017 (SAW-2012-00125),
authorizing 147 If of permanent stream impacts and 0.002 c. permanent wetland impacts. However, the
original permit has expired and corrective measures are needed to meet the 404/401 permit conditions as
the installed culvert does not convey the flow properly. The proposed additional impacts total 200 If of
temporary impacts to repair the perched culvert and stabilize the stream.

Dear Mr. Carroll:
NORTH CAROLINA

Subject: Notice of Violation
NOV-2021-PC-0217
401 Water Quality Certification
15A NCAC 02H .0500, GC #4256
Atwater Development
Iredell County
On July 16, 2021, in response to a concern expressed by staff from the Land Quality Section, staff from
this Office conducted an investigation at the subject site. Mr. Bart Carroll with D R Horton and a
representative from Carolina Wetlands Service were present during the site visit. It was noted that there
were several issues associated with the culvert that had been constructed for the road crossing on Rankin
Hill Rd. Based on the observations noted at the site, this correspondence is being issued as a Notice of
Violation.
The following violation was observed:
Title 15A NCAC 2H .0500, General Certification (GC) #4256
The GC requires that the stream pattern, dimension, and profile not be changed and the culvert to be buried
to allowed aquatic passage. During the inspection it was noted that the culvert was perched approximately
two (2) ft. above the stream bed on the downstream side. The stream itself was not flowing through the
culvert, but flowing under the culvert and daylighting off to the side. Other minor issues were also noted
and discussed that must be corrected.
Required Corrective Actions:
1) An application shall be submitted providing a stream restoration plan and other action to
resolve the stream/culvert issues to bring the road crossing into compliance with the conditions
of the GC. Expectant date of PCN submittal shall be provided.
2) A pump around must be maintained until the situation is corrected and the area stabilized to
prevent sediment deposition issues.
3) Given the complexity of the issue regarding the structural integrity of the culvert, DWR shall
be kept informed of the progress. Action shall be taken to protect the stream channel from
further impacts from sediment deposition and construction activities.
4) It is anticipated that this work shall be completed by September 30, 2021.

Dear Mr. Antemann:
Subject: Rankin Hill Residential Development; Iredell County, North Carolina
Log No. 4-2-17-081
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your
correspondence sent by email on December 15, 2016, wherein you request our comments
regarding potential impacts to federally protected species. We submit the following comments in
accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); Bald
and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d); the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(16 U.S.C. 703-712); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
According to the information provided, you are requesting our concurrence with your
determination of impacts to federally protected species associated with the proposed construction
of a 212-acre residential development adjacent to the Hobbs Creek arm of Lake Norman near
Mooresville, North Carolina. According to the information provided, the project area consists of
dry-mesic oak -hickory forests, mesic mixed hardwood forest, and loblolly pine plantation.
Proposed impacts to Waters of the U.S. were not detailed in your correspondence but at least two
unnamed tributaries to Hobbs Creek/Lake Norman and wetlands also occur within the proposed
project boundary.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project
area for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat. However, the final 4(d) rule (effective
as of February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat associated with
activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site, and greater than 150
feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Based on
the information provided, the project (which may require tree clearing) would occur at a location
where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule.

Given that no records of this species occur within 30 miles of the project area, and that maternity
roost habitat of comparable or better quality occurs in the project vicinity, we believe the
probability of take of this species that may result from the proposed project is insignificant or
discountable. Therefore, we concur with you determination that the project may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect this species.
You have determined that the proposed project will have no effect on any other federally
protected species based on several pedestrian surveys and desktop surveys. Moreover, the
Service has record of no other federally protected species for those species in the project area.
Therefore, we consider the requirements under the Act to be complete and require no further
action at this time. Please be aware that obligations under section 7 of the Act must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project and provide these comments.
Please contact Mr. Byron Hamstead of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 225, if you have any
questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log
Number 4-2-17-081.
Sincerely,

Re: Rankin Hill Subdivision Site: Background Review and Assessment of Effects on Cultural
Resource, Iredell County, NC.
Dear Renee:
On behalf of Carolina Wetland Services, Inc., TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) respectfully submits
the following information to assist you in evaluating the effects that the proposed Rankin Hill Subdivision
tract will have on Cultural Resources including the National Register -of Historic Places (NRHP) listed
Cornelius House (ID0016) (Figures 1 and 2). It is anticipated that U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
permit will be required in order to construct a residential subdivision near Mooresville, North Carolina.
On November 10, 2016 TRC conducted background research at the North Carolina Office of State
Archaeology (OSA) and via the HPOWEB GIS website to gather information on cultural resources within
and adjacent to the project area. A review of the archaeological site files indicates that there are no
previously recorded archaeological sites within a 0.5-mile radius of the project tract. The Cornelius House
is adjacent to the southern Boundary of the proposed subdivision (Figure 3).
The site is in the Piedmont Physiographic Province. The land is currently forested and surrounded by light
density residential areas and lake housed overlooking Lake Norman. Unnamed drainages that flow into
Lake Norman mark the northern and southern boundaries of the proposed subdivision. A new subdivision
is currently being built on the south side of Cornelius Road between the NRHP listed Cornelius House and
Lake Norman.
Cornelius House (ID0016)
The Cornelius House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its architectural
significance. It is was described as an example Federal tripartite house (ca. 1820-1830), a style that is rare
in the North Carolina Piedmont and Iredell County (NRHP Nomination Form 1980) (Figure 4). Large trees
surrounded the house and a number of twentieth century farm buildings were present on the property. The
NRHP Nomination Form indicates that the only outbuilding of interest was a two-story, gable roof structure
that was thought to be a mid -nineteenth century granary.

In 1980 it was noted that the house was becoming dilapidated. Based on aerial photographs the house and
the granary were torn down sometime between 2014 and 2015 (Figures 5 and 6). Remaining on the site are
the chimneys from the house, a large, twentieth century frame and cinderblock dairy barn and grain silos.
The open fields north of the house remain intact.
Potential Impacts
The Rankin Hill Subdivision will be located north of the former Cornelius House. The house is no longer
standing and no longer possesses the architectural integrity for which it was listed on the NRHP. Because
it is no longer extant the proposed subdivision will have no effect on the Cornelius House.
Planned Mitigation
As mentioned above, the field that was included as part of the viewshed of the Cornelius House is still
present. Current plans indicate there will be approximately 300 feet of forested land between proposed
subdivision and the open field include in the Cornelius House NRHP listing.
SUMMARY
There are no previously recorded archaeological resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the proposed
Rankin Hill Subdivision. One NRHP listed property was found adjacent to the southern border of the
subdivision. The Cornelius House was and early nineteenth home that was listed on the NRHP in 1980.
The home possessed architectural characteristics that were unique to this area of North Carolina. Map
research indicates that the National Register listed Cornelius House is no longer standing. The house has
been demolished and no longer meets the criteria necessary for inclusion on the NRHP. TRC recommends
that the proposed subdivision will have no effect on the Cornelius House property.
If you would like additional information or have any questions or comments about the Rankin Hill
Subdivision plans please do not hesitate to contact me at 803-960-0083 or snorris&tresolutions.com..

Sean Norris
