RE: Kings Grant Club - Lionshead Condominiums, 404/401 Application, Public Notice
USACE AID# 2000-671-026, Cumberland County
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed
the subject application for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. Our comments are provided
in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.), and Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act (as
amended).
The project is located adjacent to McPherson Creek (College Lake) and approximately one mile
west of the intersection of US 401 and Shawcroft Rd. in Fayetteville. The site is surrounded by
residential subdivisions, a golf course, and forested land.
The applicant proposes to expand an existing residential subdivision by constructing four multi-
family buildings and access/parking. This would require impacts to approximately 0.17 acre of
wetlands in addition to 0.71 acre that was previously impacted. No mitigation for these impacts
is offered.
We have the following comments:

Kings Grant - Lionshead
July 26, 2007
We recommend 100 ft and 50 ft native forested buffers are maintained adjacent to all
permanent and intermittent streams, respectively.
2. The directional bore method should be used for utility crossings wherever practicable.
These should begin and end outside the 100 yr floodplain or the forested buffer,
whichever is greater.
3. We recommend that all remaining wetlands on-site are to be preserved through
conservation easement/deed restriction using language consistent with U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USAGE) guidelines for the preservation of wetlands. It is not
clear from the application if any of the wetlands on this site are a part of the 10.42
acres of wetlands that had previously been offered in preservation as mitigation for
expansion of the single-family portion of the subdivision in March 2007.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application. If you have any
questions or require additional information regarding these comments, please call me at (910)
796-7217.
