Preserve at Forest Creek site in Waxhaw, Union County, North Carolina
USACE Assigned Project Manager, Messrs. Perez, Wojoski, and Hamstead,
Enclosed is a request for Nationwide Permit #14 & #18 for the Preserve at Forest Creek site on
272.79 acres located north, east, and west of Waxhaw Crossing Drive in Waxhaw, NC. The site
is a proposed residential development and consists of 13 streams and 11 wetlands. The site was
field verified by NCDEQ in August 2018 and by the USACE in November 2019 and a PJD was
issued in December 2019. Current site conditions were evaluated and the OHWL of the crossing
locations were flagged in June 2021. Please refer to the Jurisdictional Determination Information
for information on onsite surface waters.
As shown on the attached exhibits, the proposed project will include permanent impacts to five
streams and two wetlands for 5 road crossings and minor grading. Additional minor impacts to

one wetland and two streams are required for one required stormwater BMP. Temporary impacts
are limited to dewatering for culvert installations. Total permanent impacts proposed include 957
linear feet (0.05 acres) of stream impacts (Streams V, I, K, E, and S) and 0.023 acres of wetland
impacts (Wetlands G and L). Nationwide Permit 18 is proposed to apply to 114 LF (0.006
AC/14.52 cubic yards) of the Stream K impact and the entirety of Stream I and Wetland G
impacts. Nationwide Permit 29 is proposed to apply to the remaining impacts. Site impacts were
unavoidable due to roadway and connectivity requirements with respect to fixed intersection
locations and site constraints including grades, drainage patterns, and location of Heritage Trees
to be saved.
Overall impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited
through site selection location, design, and the location/orientation of the proposed lots and
access routes. Headwalls are proposed at each crossing and, where possible, 2:1 slopes will be
implemented to limit impacts to site surface waters. All utilities will be bored to avoid impacts.
Roadway crossings were narrowed to the greatest extent possible while meeting local roadway
design requirements. Extensive analyses were conducted and lots were removed to reduce site
impacts to the extent possible. Please refer to the Engineer Correspondence section for more
detail. The applicant has demonstrated substantial avoidance and minimization efforts in which
86.8% of the 7,267 linear feet of onsite streams and 97.5% of the 0.914 acres of onsite wetlands
will be avoided.
To compensate for the anticipated permanent impacts to onsite streams, the applicant is
proposing payment to the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services In -Lieu Fee Program at
a 2:1 ratio.
Also enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site. No listed
species were identified within the project area and we believe that there will be no effect on
listed species, or their critical habitat as designated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act. Please refer to the Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation Section for additional
details on the terrestrial species evaluation. Thank you for your consideration and please contact
me if you have any questions, [phone] or email at [e-mail].

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection, design, and location/orientation of the proposed lots & access
routes. Impact locations were influenced by the location of Heritage trees, existing grades/drainage patterns, & roadway requirements for emergency
vehicles. Roadway impacts were reduced as much as possible & lots were eliminated to avoid additional wetland areas. Please see a copy of the
engineer correspondence. The applicant has demonstrated avoidance & minimization efforts by avoiding —86.8% of streams and 97.5% wetlands.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the

Mason Greeson <[e-mail]> Thu, Apr 14, 2022 at 12:03 PM
To: Sam Bennett <[e-mail]>, Daniel Kuefler <[e-mail]>, "[e-mail]" <[e-mail]>
We are revising a few things we saw. Sam will send when they are revised.
Narratives are below;
Stream V Phase 1- Roadway crossing with a double 72" culvert proposed. Double 72" culvert does fit within the stream properly for handling the base flow through both pipes, a single box culvert was proposed
originally but the size needed was not appropriate for the stream width as well as the utility separations that are along the roadway in relation to the top of the box culvert. Multiple analysis was run for reducing the
impact to this stream.
Intermittent Stream I- Impact was unavoidable due to the location of Heritage trees that are to be saved, as well as the location of the BMP in the natural drainage pattern for this area. Lot counts were reduced in
order to protect additional wetland areas as well as the heritage trees.
Wetland G- Impact was unavoidable due to the location of Heritage trees that are to be saved, as well as the location of the BMP in the natural drainage pattern for this area. Lot counts were reduced in order to
protect additional wetland areas as well as the heritage trees.
Wetland L- Impact was analyzed multiple times with different roadway configurations but found to be unavaoidable to meet roadway requirements for Emergency vehicle access.
Stream K- Impact was analyzed multiple times and found to be unavoidable for the roadway grading to tie back to natural grade and the location of the BMP in the natural drainage pattern. Lots were proposed as
the roadway grading was impacting this area the same as roadway tie back grading.
Stream E- Impacts were reduced as much as possible for this road crossing. It was requested to have the ability to reduce the width of the roadway at this crossing but the local Jurisdiction would not allow the
reduction.

Stream S- Impacts were reduced as much as possible for this road crossing. It was requested to have the ability to reduce the width of the roadway at this crossing but the local Jurisdiction would not allow the
reduction.
Stream V- Phase 2- Impacts were reduced as much as possible for this road crossing. It was requested to have the ability to reduce the width of the roadway at this crossing but the local Jurisdiction would not allow
the reduction.

Vicinity Map" and Printed Date of 12/08/2017.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appear to be waters, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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 11/26/2019. 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 are 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, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands 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
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands 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.

SAW-2019-01646
❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Bryan Roden -Reynolds at 704-510-1440 or

SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS:
Two plant species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Union County:
• Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), listed as Federally
Endangered, is typically found in open habitats which historically have
been maintained by wildfires and grazing bison and elk herds. Now most
occurrences are limited to roadsides, woodland and field edges, and utility
rights -of -way (ROW).
• Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii), listed as Federally Endangered,
requires habitat of sandy forests and woodland edges. This species
requires periodic fire as a part of its ecology.
Two animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Union County:
• Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), protected by the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act, typically inhabits forested areas near large
bodies of open water such as lakes, marshes, seacoasts and rivers,
where there are suitable fish populations and tall trees for nesting and
roosting.
• Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), listed as Federally
Endangered, is restricted to cool, clean, well -oxygenated water. Stable,
silt- free stream beds are required for this species. Typically stable areas
occur where the stream banks are well -vegetated with trees and shrubs.

Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results
• All potential habitats for Schweinitz's Sunflower along the roadsides, utility
rights -of -way, transitional areas and woods edges were examined, and the
species was not observed. WEPG concludes Schweinitz's Sunflower
(Helianthus schweinitzii) does not occur on the site.
• All potential habitats for Michaux's Sumac along the roadsides, utility
rights -of -way, transitional areas and woods edges were examined, and the
species was not observed. WEPG concludes Michaux's Sumac (Rhus
michauxii) does not occur on the site.
• There is no Bald Eagle habitat on site, and no eagles or eagle's nests
were observed. No habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there
were no sightings nor were any nesting sites observed. WEPG concludes
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus /eucocepha/us) does not occur on the site.
• Based on existing documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have
not been identified within this basin. WEPG concludes Carolina
Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) does not occur on the site.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the site investigation and the review of available data, WEPG did not
identify any protected species occurring on the subject property. No further
investigation of the presence of protected species on this site is recommended at
this time.

Subject: Findings - Cultural Resources Literature and Records Search
The Preserve at Forest Creek Development Tract
Waxhaw, Union County, North Carolina
R.S. Webb & Associates Project No. 20-649-127
Dear Mr. Kuefler:
BACKGROUND
During November 2020, R.S. Webb & Associates conducted a cultural resources literature and
records search for the Preserve at Forest Creek development tract near Waxhaw, Union County,
North Carolina. The study tract is located east of Rehobeth Road and north of Sims Road, south and
southwest of the town of Waxhaw in southwest Union County, North Carolina on the USGS
Catawba NE and Waxhaw, North Carolina 7.5-minute quadrangle maps (Figure 1).
A "cultural resource" is defined as a discrete area of human activity that is more than 50 years old.
Cultural resources include, but are not limited to, archeological sites, historic structures, military
earthworks, mines/mining features, historic cemeteries, historic landscape features, and other
features resulting from historic human activity. The purpose of the current study was to determine
if previously recorded cultural resources are located within the project area and if any of the
resources are listed in, or considered eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
METHODOLOGY
Literature and Records Search: Through the State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) HPOWeb
database, information regarding National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) properties, Union
County surveyed -only historic resources, other surveyed properties or resources, state Study List
sites, and/or historic resources that have been given a determination of eligibility (DOE) was
reviewed and collected. Historic county maps were viewed online through North Carolina Maps,
a collaboration of the University of North Carolina, the State Archives of North Carolina, and the
Outer Banks History Center. Historic aerial photography and additional historic maps were accessed
through Historicaerials.com, Earthexplorer.usgs.gov, Legacy.lib.utexas.edu/maps/, and
Alab amamaps .ua. edu.
Note: The North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) was closed to the public and to
consultants on March 17, 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, OSA provided RSWA with
limited information via email regarding archeological sites within 1.0 mile of the project area. Site
information includes site forms, location maps and partial or full reports.

Findings - Cultural Resources Literature and Records Search, Preserve at Forest Creek Development Tract Page 2
January 18, 2021
The following primary sources were found to be useful in searching for historic resources within and
adjacent to the project area:
1907 Miller Map of Union County
1910 Rural Delivery Routes on Union County
1914 USDA Soil Map, Union County Sheet
1930,1936,1940,1953, 1962,1967, 1968,1972 and 1980 State Highway and Public Works
Commission Map of Union County (individual buildings depicted on 1938 and 1967 maps
only)
1956, 1965 and 1969 aerial photographs of Union County
1968 USGS Catawba, North Carolina 7.5-minute quadrangle map
1970 USGS Waxhaw, North Carolina 7.5-minute quadrangle map
Google Earth aerial imagery, 1993-present.
RESULTS
Previous Cultural Resources Investigations: According to data provided by the OSA, there have
been at least two previously planned and/or performed cultural resources investigation projects
conducted within 1.0 mile of the current project tract. One of these projects, Cooper (1977),
included an investigation of an area located east of Rehobeth Road, within or near the study tract
(Figure 1), but the full report and survey maps were not available for review.
National Register of Historic Places: The HPOWeb online database indicates one NRHP-listed
historic property, the Waxhaw Historic District, located within 1.0 mile of the project area. Historic
district boundaries are approximately 2,400 feet north and northeast of the study tract (Figure 1).
State Study List Properties and Properties Determined -Eligible for the NRHP: The HPOWeb online
database shows several Study List and Determined -Eligible resources located within and northeast
of the NRHP-listed Waxhaw Historic District boundaries, from approximately 3,000 feet to 4,500
feet northeast of the study tract.
Union County Historic Resources: The HPOWeb database indicates numerous recorded historic
resources located within 1.0 mile of the project area, 17 of which are south and southwest of
Waxhaw and beyond historic district boundaries. The closest of these resources, Resources UN-
1113 and UN-1114, are situated on either side of Rehobeth Road, approximately 1,000 feet northeast
of the study tract (Figure 1). There is also a recorded historic resource, Resource UN-13 (1982),
located south of Sims Road, approximately 1,400 feet east of the project area (Figure 1).
OSA-Recognized Archeological Sites: According to OSA data, there are five recorded archeological
sites located within 1.0 mile of the project tract, two of which are cemeteries (31UN428 and
31 UN429) identified in 2020 for which locations and other details are as yet unknown to OSA. One
recorded site, 31UN244, is known to be located within 1,000 feet of the study tract (Figure 1). The
site was reported to an archeologist working on a sewerage treatment site within the current project
area in 1977 (see location of "Cooper 1977" on Figure 1). Based on the recollections of a "Mr.
Walker" (private collector), 31UN429 was located near the current western project area boundary.
Artifacts included late-Paleoindian and Early Archaic bifaces/projectile points (Clovis, Hardaway -
Dalton and Palmer), based on information from the circa 1999 site form. The official OSA site

location map shows 31UN429 on the west side of a creek and beyond the current western project
area boundary (Figure 1).
Historic Cemeteries: Historic maps and aerial photographs show no cemeteries located within or
adjacent to the project area. The closest known cemeteries are approximately 2,100 feet southeast
(Piney Grove Church Cemetery) and north (Waxhaw City Cemetery) of the study tract (Figure 1).
Revolutionary War Actions/Features: There was one Revolutionary War battle, potentially, that
occurred in Union County. South Carolina Governor John Rutledge escaped Charleston as the
British laid siege to the town in late March -early May, 1780. British cavalry under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton and troops led by Colonel Abraham Buford clashed at the
Battle of Waxhaws on May 29, 1780, somewhere near the boundary between Union County, North
Carolina and Lancaster County, South Carolina. The British won the day, but Buford and Rutledge
escaped and for the remainder of the war "Tarleton's Quarter" meant no mercy and "Buford's
Massacre" became a rallying cry for the Americans (Powell 1989, Lewis 2020).
Civil War Actions/Features: Review of the Official Military Atlas of the Civil War (Davis et al.
1983) revealed that no significant Civil War military activity occurred in present-day Union County,
North Carolina. Union General William T. Sherman, following the capture of Columbia, South
Carolina on February 17, 1865, moved north to the vicinity of Lancaster County, South Carolina, but
his army then turned northeast and moved toward Laurel Hill and Fayetteville, North Carolina, thus
bypassing the project region to the south and east (Davis et al. 1983).
Structures and Features on Maps and Aerial Photographs: Maps of Union County produced in 1907
show Waxhaw and the courses of Rehobeth Road (west), Old Waxhaw-Monroe Road (east), Sims
Road (south), and Richardson King Road (west of Rehobeth Road) more or less as they currently
appear. The maps show no buildings located along the east side of Rehobeth Road, at or near the
project area, and one building (E.J. Sims place) located north of Sims Road, near the south project
area boundary (Figure 1). Maps produced in 1910 and 1914 also show the primary routes
surrounding the project area, as well as secondary roads passing from Sims Road to Rehobeth Road
via the west part of the project area and from Sims Road to Waxhaw via the east part of the project
area; one building each are also shown in or near these sections of the project area (Figure 1). The
1938 county highway map shows two buildings located east of Rehobeth Road and north of Sims
Road, near the project area (Figure 1). The county highway map produced in 1967 indicates
increased development along the east side of Rehobeth Road, in or near the project area (as depicted
in Figure 1), and little change to the distribution of buildings along Sims Road to the south.
Aerial photographs taken in 1956 show the primary and secondary roads located in and near the
project area. One additional road leads east from Rehobeth Road to a cultivated area and a house
located in the southwest part of the study tract (Figure 1). Other isolated cultivated areas located
along secondary roads within the project area do not appear to have associated dwellings as of 1956.
Aerial photographs from 1965 and 1969 show a decline in cultivation and a corresponding increase
in wooded land within the study tract. Two cultivated areas within and near the south and west
project area boundaries remained in cultivation through 1969 (as depicted in Figure 1).

CONCLUSIONS
Literature Search: There are no NRHP-listed properties, known archeological sites or recorded
historic resources located within the project tract. A potential Late Paleoindian-Early Archaic site
(31 UN244) was reported by an avocational archeologist south of Rone Branch near but beyond, the
current western project area boundary. Maps and aerial photographs indicate relatively sparse human
occupation and use of the project area during the 20th century, though three building locations appear
to have been within the study tract.
