proposed residential development, which will consist of town homes. The site consists
of privately owned parcels.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:"
Normal gravity sewer pipeline construction techniques will be used with this project. Normal residential structure practice will be used when building pads meet wetland area. The
construction of the project will not necessitate the use of any specialized construction techniques. Standard construction equipment such as cranes, excavators, dump trucks, and similar
vehicles would be used for the project. Proper erosion and sedimentation control measures would be employed throughout the project. Typical materials and machinery will be used on -site
during the construction process. Project related impacts include 0.051-acre of permanent wetland impacts for building footprint, 0.581-acre of functional wetland impacts for sewer utility
installation, and 0.02-acre of permanent stream impacts for road crossings. Hydrologic connectivity of the wetlands will be maintained across the sanitary sewer line easement with
occasional clearing of vegetation by property owner. Temporary impacts will be restored to preconstruction contours. See below for impact summary.

1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
0

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The potential alignment routes of the sewer outfall were limited due to the presence of
wetlands, streams, and topography of the site. The sewer utility corridor is proposed to
be placed within the narrowest portion of the wetland system, minimizing the impact as
much as reasonably possible.
Initially, the proposed sewer alignment impacted a larger area of wetlands. Alternative
alignments were reviewed to determine if it was possible to minimize the impacts. Based
on this analysis, the alignment of the sewer outfall was adjusted to have significantly
less impacts on the wetland system.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Disturbance of the wetlands shall be minimized to the extent practicable in order for the
proper installation of the sanitary sewer line and residential development. The
construction techniques shall be conducted in accordance with NCDENR standards.
Temporary and additional erosion control measures shall be maintained throughout the
construction process. Silt fencing will be placed at the bottom of the slopes to deter
sediment and erosion control during sanitary sewer line installation activities. Temporary
erosion, sedimentation, and pollution controls will be installed prior to and maintained
during the entire construction duration and until final stabilization is established.

ECS Project No.: 49:11542-D

To Mr. Chris Hopper,

Please find the attached Request for Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Nationwide Permit 29
and 58 for the Rowan Mill Road Residential Project. The purpose of the project is to build town
homes and corresponding sewer lines to service them.

The project site is located at the intersection of Rowan Mill Road and Mooresville Road in
Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. The site is identified as Rowan County Parcel
Identification Numbers (PINs) 460 152, consisting of 10.2 acres and 462 005, consisting of 59.04
acres both owned by Forest Glen, Inc., as well as Rowan County PIN 462 0060001, consisting of
66.8 acres owned by Grace Kent and Charles Edward Steel. Based on the available information,
the site consists of undeveloped, lightly wooded land. (Figure 1). Wetlands and streams were
delineated on site and were verified by the corp, see SAW-2020-01367 attached. The site has
historically consisted of wooded land and remains through to the present time. Areas surrounding
the site consist of commercial buildings, a church, and other residential/industrial buildings. Based
upon the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map, Grants Creek and
tributaries therof are present on-site.

For the PCN, the proposed project includes building townhomes including the corresponding utility
lines needed to service them. The enclosed development plan proposes permanent fill impacts
to jurisdictional wetlands and streams on site. There will also be functional impacts to wetlands
within the utility corridor. These will not contain fill, but rather change from one wetland type to
another (functional impact). Permanent impacts to the stream are also proposed.

On behalf of Sheerwood Development Group, LLC, ECS respectfully requests the use of NWP
29 & 58 to authorize the functional impact of 0.581 acre of wetland for a sewer utility, subject to
mitigation at a ratio of 1:1, a permanent impact of 0.051 acre of wetland, and a permanent impact
of 0.02 acre of stream. The attached permit application and associated attachments provide
details pertaining to the proposed project impacts.

ECS looks forward to your attention to this request. Please contact me at [phone]or
[e-mail] questions or if additional information is required.
Sincerely,

Jonathan Dale Grubb W. Brandon Fulton, LSS, PSC

B. Project Information and Prior Project History

4h. Explain the purpose of the project:

The project is being developed on behalf of Sherwood development Group. The main
purpose of this project is to install a gravity sanitary sewer outfall that will service the
proposed residential development, which will consist of town homes. The site consists
of privately owned parcels.

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:

Normal gravity sewer pipeline construction techniques will be used with this project.
Normal residential structure practice will be used when building pads meet wetland area.
The construction of the project will not necessitate the use of any specialized
construction techniques.

Standard construction equipment such as cranes, excavators, dump trucks, and similar
vehicles would be used for the project. Proper erosion and sedimentation control
measures would be employed throughout the project. Typical materials and machinery
will be used on-site during the construction process.

Project related impacts include 0.051-acre of permanent wetland impacts for building
footprint, 0.581-acre of functional wetland impacts for sewer utility installation, and 0.02-
acre of permanent stream impacts for road crossings. Hydrologic connectivity of the
wetlands will be maintained across the sanitary sewer line easement with occasional
clearing of vegetation by property owner. Temporary impacts will be restored to pre-
construction contours. See below for impact summary.

PROPOSED WETLANDS IMPACTS
IMPACT #1 FUNCTIONAL 0.186 AC
IMPACT #2 FUNCTIONAL 0.395 AC
IMPACT #3 PERMANENT 0.051 AC

PROPOSED STREAM IMPACTS
CROSSING #1 PERMANENT 96' 384 SF 0.009 AC
CROSSING #2 PERMANENT 166' 476 SF 0.011 AC

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation

1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in
designing project:

The potential alignment routes of the sewer outfall were limited due to the presence of
wetlands, streams, and topography of the site. The sewer utility corridor is proposed to
be placed within the narrowest portion of the wetland system, minimizing the impact as
much as reasonably possible.

Initially, the proposed sewer alignment impacted a larger area of wetlands. Alternative
alignments were reviewed to determine if it was possible to minimize the impacts. Based
on this analysis, the alignment of the sewer outfall was adjusted to have significantly
less impacts on the wetland system.

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts
through construction techniques:

Disturbance of the wetlands shall be minimized to the extent practicable in order for the
proper installation of the sanitary sewer line and residential development. The
construction techniques shall be conducted in accordance with NCDENR standards.
Temporary and additional erosion control measures shall be maintained throughout the
construction process. Silt fencing will be placed at the bottom of the slopes to deter
sediment and erosion control during sanitary sewer line installation activities. Temporary
erosion, sedimentation, and pollution controls will be installed prior to and maintained
during the entire construction duration and until final stabilization is established.

2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

Permanent wetland fill impacts associated with the project are 0.051 acre and 0.02 acre of
permanent stream bed impacts which are covered under Nationwide Permits 58 and 29.
Mitigation is required for the functional impacts (0.581) to the wetland impacted by the
sewer crossings at a ratio of 1:1. Therefore, mitigation is proposed through payment to
the DMS. A conditional letter of acceptance is included with this application.

There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 12/22/2020. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction
determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of
computation of /impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made
on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on
the site as if they a/re jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the
Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD,
which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.
Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA
jurisdiction over all of the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able
to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination

NC Hwy 150 & Rowan Mill Road
Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina
ECS Project Number 14542-D

Dear Ms. Mizzi:

ECS Southeast, LLP is pleased to provide our results of the Survey
conducted for the above-referenced site.

Background Information

The subject site is located at NC Hwy 150 & Rowan Mill Road in Salisbury, Rowan County, North
Carolina. According to the Rowan County Online GIS website, the site is identified as Rowan
County Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs) 460152, consisting of 10.2 acres and 462005,
consisting of 59.04 acres both owned by Forest Glen, Inc., as well as Rowan County PIN 462
0060001, consisting of 66.8 acres owned by Kent Grace Steel and Charles Edward Steel. Based
on the available information, the site consists of undeveloped, lightly wooded land.

ECS conducted a site reconnaissance for suitable habitat for threatened and endangered species
on September 14, 2021.

ECS is currently working on submitting a Request for Information and Concurrence related to
Threatened and Endangered Species/Critical Habitat to the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS). ECS consulted the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) tool to determine what species are known to
occur within the project area. The IPa
occur on the project area. ECS identified habitat for the species on site and performed a targeted
survey to determine their presence. Surveys were conducted within the appropriate survey
window for the sunflower.

Description

grows
approximately 6½ feet tall (though it can be shorter if young or injured) and can occasionally reach
heights of 16 feet. It has thickened roots that are specially designed to store starch. The stem is
