Subject: RE: Saddlebrook Site NCDWR Comments
The previous application indicated a road connection to hwy 601, but I don't remember it being a "for sure", more of a
potential or future. If the connector road is NOT required by the county and IS not going to be constructed this may limit
the separate and complete project aspect. If the culvert is to be constructed, the soil survey shows that "ditch" in the
adjoining field as an intermittent stream. I guess either William or myself can go take a look or just include it on the
impact sheet.
Send in a corrected impact sheet for the application with the corrections.

Alan,
Included in the package are three maps corresponding to the questions and comments (Figure 1. Jurisdictional
Boundaries Map, Figure 2. Original Proposed Site Plan Impacts, and Figure 3. Revised Proposed Site Plan
Impacts). These also display the updated/correct acreage of wetlands within the project area (totaling 0.555
acre), per our discussion at the field site visit on October 7, 2014. 1 have reattached°the package for your
perusal.
Thanks,
Erin

CWS Project No. 2013-3232
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Thank you for your letter, dated October 9, 2014, requesting a response to comments made by
your office, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). A copy of your
letter is attached for your reference. This letter is in response to your comments on the project.
Comments are addressed in the same order that they were provided.
• There is a question as to potential cumulative impacts for the proposed site.
Existing development has occurred under the name of Saddlebrook, which was
observed entering the site. This needs to be resolved to determine total impacts
and potential mitigation requirements for this project and possible future
development at the site.
In communication with our client regarding previous phases of the project, it was
determined that the existing Saddlebrook residential neighborhood was built by a
previous developer, which ultimately filed for bankruptcy. Furthermore, there is a
separate and complete entrance to the subdivision off of Highway 601 which satisfies
the "separate and complete' utility test.The current Saddlebrook project is related to
the previous project in name only, and thus previous impacts are not considered
cumulative with the current project.
• A post construction stormwater plan may be required for the site per condition
412 of General Certification 3890. Prior to issuance of the Certification, an
approved plan is required.
The post -construction stomtwater plan is currently under design and will meet the
requirements of condition # 12 of General Certification 3890.
Proposed Impacts need to be clarified

Resoonw to Request for Additional Information CWS Proimt No. 2013-3232
Based on field observations on October 7, 2014, with Mr. Steve Kichefski (US
Army Corps of Engineers, USACE), Mr. William Elliot (USACE), and Mr. Alan
Johnson (NCDWR), it was determined that Intermittent Stream A is a linear
wetland (Figure 1, attached). New calculations based on this assessment
amounts Wetland AA to be 0.555 acre in extent.
Figure 47 (original proposed impacts): shows Wetland AA as 0.51 acre and
Wetland BB as 0.039 acre, with 263 If of stream impact (there is no
indication of stream impact in the bottom southeast corner near the power
tower).
Based on verification of Wetland AA by USACE and NCDWR on October 7,
2014, new calculations of originally -proposed impacts to Wetland AA amount to
0.544 ac (0.011 ac avoided; Figure 2, attached).
• Figure 48 (revised impacts): shows Wetland AA as 0.421 acre and Wetland
BB 0.039 acre, with 2631f of stream impact and again no stream impact for
the stream section in the bottom corner.
Based on verification of Wetland AA by USACE and NCDWR on October 7,
2014, new calculations of revised impacts to Welland AA amount to 0.487 acre
(0.068 ac avoided; Figure 3, attached).
• None of the maps appear to account for the minor tributary located in the
lower corner of the map(s) to the main feature running through the site.
The power tower located in the southeastern area of the project limits is an
existing structure. Therefore, this portion of Wetland AA will be avoided with
no impacts.
• Please clarify where the wetland(s) begin and end as it related to the stream
channel(s) and provide clarity as to the total wetland and stream(s) on site
and the proposed impacts to the wetland/stream(s) at the site.
Based on verification of Wetland AA by USACE and NCDWR on October 7,
2014, the total area of Wetland AA amounts to 0.555 ac. No jurisdictional
streams are located on -site.
Proposed on -site mitigation. There is strong concern whether long term
functional uplift can be achieved through enhancement of the feature under
consideration. The hydrology of the site is controlled by an offsite pond to which
currently the developer has no control. Should the downstream pond be
removed or altered it would have an adverse effect on the water level. Also, it
wasn't clear if the purpose of the enhancement was to modify the wetland type.
Finally, given the location of the site there appears to be some difficulties; Bethel
Church Road is immediately adjacent to the south (which may be subject to
widening due to development growth), a sewer easement along the eastern
boundary and a storm water outfall is discharging into the "pond."

Response to Reauea for Additional Information CWS Proieet No. 2013d232
The client has decided to submit a request for mitigation credits through the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). The current North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program fee schedule (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/eep/fee-
schedules) states that the cost of compensatory mitigation for Yadkin River Basin (HU
#03040105) is $69,736 per acre. For the Saddlebrook project, impacts to 0.487 acres
of riparian wetland will result in a mitigation cost of $34,868, based on rounding to the
nearest 0.25 acre.
• Avoidance and minimization. With the exception of the wetland at the top
(north) of the subdivision, please provide comments to clarify why the other
wetland/stream feature could not be avoided or impacts minimized.
A "No Build" altemative was considered. This option was not considered as it is not
economically feasible. Furthermore, since the current property owner purchased the
property for the purpose of completing the development, this option would not meet any
of the project goals. Therefore, the No -Build Alternative was eliminated from further
consideration.
In order to complete to project, impacts to Wetland AA are unavoidable. The location for
these impacts is constrained by the existing road layout (Hill Pine Road, Saddlebrook
Road, and Route 601), as well as the natural site topography and existing natural
resources. Impacts were reduced through avoidance of wetlands originally planned to be
impacted. Lot lines were shifted to avoid the highest value on -site wetland area and
resulted in a reduction in buildable lots.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at 704-408-1683, or through email at [e-mail]
should you have any additional questions or comments regarding this permit submittal.

Am

Dear Mc Twiddy: . , .
On September 5, 2014, the Division of Water Resources (the Division) received your
application dated August 21, 2014, for the subject project. The application was reviewed and on
October 7, 2014, a site visit was conducted by this office along with your representative, Mr.
Greg Antemann and Steve Kichefski with the Army Corps of Engineers. During the visit, several
items were discussed that are related to both the application and observations made during the
site visit. These items are listed below and are needed in order to complete our review of the
application:
• There is a question as to potential cumulative impacts for the proposed site.

• Proposed impacts need to be clarified.

requesting that the Army Corps of Engineers place a hold on their processing of the application.
