S. Army Corps of Engineers ~ ,; ~~ ~ J~,; ` P.O. Box 1890 ~~ J Wilmington, NC 28402-1890 )' < < ly3 ~ !li ~„F. Dear Mr. Smith: Please reference my letter dated Apri19, 2007 to Mr. Keith Harris and our subsequent telephone conversation and your recent visit to the Lionshead Condominium site at Kings Grant in Fayetteville, N.C. Your reference is also invited to the extensive Corps file for the Kings Grant project, Corps Action ID No. 200000671. Enclosed, as you requested, is an application to authorize the impacts to 7345 square feet (0.17 acres) of jurisdictional wetlands to facilitate the construction of the Lionshead Condominium project at the Kings Grant development in Fayetteville, N.C. 1. Description of Work: The Lionshead project is proposed to be sited on about five acres of high ground near the southern edge of the Kings Grant development. Work consists of the construction of an access street and the cutting away of hillsides for the construction of four multi-family buildings and resident parking. 2. Wetland Impacts: Please reference the attached site plan whereon nine small areas of wetland impact are identified. No buildings will be sited in the wetlands, but unavoidable wetland impacts are necessary for the access street and hillside cuts: Area 1: (400 sgft) wetland crossing of open ditch Area 2, 3, & 5: (489 sgft, 1587 sgft, and 1090 sgft) street crossings of wetlands Area 4, 6, 7, 8, & 91: (1811 sgft, 1544 sgft, 347 sgft, 65 sgft, and 12 sgft) cuts of hillsides for buildings Page 1 3. Avoidance and Minimization: Considerable effort has been made in the design and layout of this project to avoid wetland loss. The proposal represents the best of several engineering alternatives whereby the four buildings, the street and the required parking areas have been moved around to result in the least environmentally damaging alternative that can achieve the project requirements. Most of the affected wetland areas are at the upper edges of seasonal wetland seeps within the existing hilly terrain. 4. Miti ation: Mitigation for the unavoidable wetland losses requested in this application was included in the permit (Action ID. 200000671) issued on December 17, 2001. That mitigation involved various wetland creation and restoration and concluded with payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP); now the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program. The previous Corps Permit (ID 200000671) documents the thorough review and deliberation that extended for several months resulting in the authorization of the conclusion of the work at Kings Grant. Approval included the issuance of the NCDWQ Water Quality Certificate No. 3332. Work authorized by the Corps 2001 permit involved Lionshead and two other sites, Williwood Road Extension, and Ridgeway Drive Extension, which were completed within the permit period. Economic conditions prevented commencement of work on the Lionshead project before now. No other work or change in plans is proposed. Thank you for your assistance, please contact me if you have questions or need additional information. ely, Charlie Hollis Encls: 1. Application 2.

This application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into waters of unknown tributary of Carver's Creek in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the state of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the application portions of Section 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-2-17 if conducted in accordance with the application conditions hereinafter set forth. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us and send as a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or total perennial stream impact exceeds 150 feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations. 1. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of two manuals, wither the "North Carolina. Sediment and.,Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual° (available from the Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR regional or Central Offices.) The control practices shall be utilized to. prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50 NTU's in all fresh water streams and river not designated as trout waters; 25 NTU's in all lakes and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters). A sediment curtain shall be util'¢ed at all times until the dredging is completed in order to control tributary. 2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has replaced the project; 3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened; . 4. Shall waste or borrowsites be located in wetlands or other wafers, compensatory mitigation will be required since ft - is adirect impact from road construction activities; 5. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and water s to notify the stat in order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letfer or the issuance of the 404 permit (whichever is later). -:: 6. An additional condition is that a final, wntten stormwater management plan for the site shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified In this Certification occur, rf the fina_I percent impervious cover for this project exceeds 30°~ The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. These facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division~of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be constr~nd Wetlands/401 Unit 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 Ph: (919) 733-7015 Fax: (919) 733-6893 Cus~ES~ervice 1 800 623-7748 operational, and the stormwater managemer;~ plan (as approved by this Office) shall be implemented. 7.
