Project Description 3a Describe the existinq conditions on the site-and the general land use in the vicinity of'the project at the time,of this application The Project Site is located on the southern portion of the Blue Ridge Mountain Club (BRMC) residential development, accessed from Sampson Road. The Project Site occupies a large wooded tract that is primarily forested The Project Site forms the headwaters to Horton Branch with its many tributaries and wetlands Two existing live ponds are located on Horton Branch in the project vicinity There are numerous existing timber trails throughout the site, as well as a 10' wide maintained all terrain, vehicle (ATV) trail, approximately 4,000 If,' The Project is composed of two point applicants as the Project Site'is located on two properties BRMC property, ,on the southern end of the Project Site, will convey a 45' wide easement °to allow- access to the Chetola property (T &T Legacy, LLC), on the northern portion of the Project Site that will house the shooting facility. The primary portion of the Project Site is the shooting club site Total Project Site�size is approximately 36 26 -acres 'The existing ATV traill crosses Horton Branch four times at existing fords and crosses one unnamed tributary at an existing pipe Total of three existing pipes observed along the maintained ATV trail, only one of which conveys jurisdictional waters. The Project Site appears to have been logged'in the past, with large stands of white pine and the presence of logging trails Additionally, there is evidence of an old residence or other structure near the end of the ATV trail where remnants of a foundation and chimney were observed General land use in the vicinity of protect is undeveloped, timbering, and rural single family residential. ` 3b List the total estimated'acreage of all existing wetlands on the property 0 74 -ac 3c List the total estimated-linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property 9,604 If 3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project The, purpose of the, Horton Branch Trail project is to create a road, 20' wide, to access a�proposed skeet shooting range with associated lodge, parking area, and.trads Theroad has to be wide enough to allow emergency vehicle,access Additionally, the purpose of the project is to construct five bndges.accessible by ATVs, as part of the shooting facility Page 3 of 14 PCN Form — Version 1 3 December 10, 2008 Version 3e Describe the overall proiect'in detail, including the type of equipment to-be used Project Siteiis a 36 26 -acre area located on two separate properties and is a cooperative, effort between -BRMC and Chetola BRMC is providing a 45' wide easement across its property to access a shooting facility located on the adjoining Chetola property. Chetola property is managed under T &T Legacy, LLC, and is approximately 66 -acres in size Proposed Project is applying for a Nationwide Permit #39, Water Quality Certification #3890 The Horton Branch Trail will follow and upgrade an existing 10' wide ATV trail to the maximum extent possible The existing ATV trail fords Horton Branch 4 times and crosses an unnamed tributary to Horton Branch one time, where °an existing 18° x14' pipe is located The proposed access trail will be a.20' wide gravel road usedito access a new skeet shooting facility located approximately 4,100 If from Sampson'Road Electrical utility line to be installed along shoulder of gravel road Utility line to be trenched 3' under streambed at each proposed culvert °crossing site 4-feet of temporaryampacts associated'with utility line at each stream crossing A total of 5 stream crossings are proposed with the new gravel road There will be four culvert crossings on Horton Branch, each 25' long and use Arch CMP (Pipes#1 -3 & 6, shown on attached Erosion Control Plan Sheets and Site Plan). Pipes will be countersunk according to General Certification Condition #13 The fifth proposed stream crossing (Pipe#4) will replace an 18 "`x 14' CMP on a first order tributary to Horton Branch (UT=4 -HB) Existing pipe will be replaced with a 29" Arch CMP, 25' long (Pipe#4), to be countersunk 6" below streambed elevation An additional existing pipe will be replaced during new road construction which does not have live flow, pipe conveys stormwater runoff, 6" x 20' CMP to be replaced with 18" CMP (Pipe#5), no stream impacts associated with Pipe#5 Three wetland impact sites with new roadaconstructiom(see Impact Map) Project proposed impacts to Jurisdictional Waters will,be split between joint applicants (refer to Impact Map), as follows 69 If permanent impacts to streams associated with Chetola, 42 If permanent impacts to streams associated with BRMC Total permanent stream impacts not to exceed 111 If Culvert installation will be completed in the dry according to General Certification Condition #6 A pump -a -round detail is includedwith the PCN application, but the contractor may decide -to use an alternative method Following culvert installation work,,disturbed streambanks,and riparian areas will be stabilized with erosion control seed mix and straw top dress A total of 14 feet oflempora ystream impactsmnil occur at each,culvert installation; 40 feet of temporary impacts associated with pump around operations and 4 feet associated with utility line trenching Proposed skeet shooting facility will consist of a central lodge with water and sewer amenities, well water - septic,tank and drainfield Electricity to be supplied by generator until utility lines have been connected A gravel parking lot with four vehicle spaces to be built Five shooting platforms will be arranged surrounding the lodge with an additional five shooting stations spread out over the grounds Trails will be constructed to accommodate ATV and.golf cart travel linking the shooting stations. As part of the ATV trail network, five, footbridges will be constructed to allow for•clay trap machine operation and maintenance (see ATV Trail and Bridge Locations Map) Each footbridge will span jurisdictional tributaries with no proposed permanent impacts, Footbridge dimensions are;proposed to be 10' wide by 20' long 10 feet of,temporary stream impacts at.each footbridge location due to streambank disturbances,during construction Following bridge construction; dreambanks4o be ,restored to pre - existing elevations /slopes and all disturbed riparian areas to be stabilized with native seed mix and straw top dress. Project completion will be accomplished using a trackhoe for trenching utility lines and culvert removal /installation, bull dozer for grading during road construction, dump truck for material transport, mini - trackhoe Project will operate under a NC Stormwater General Permit based on approval of the projects Sediment and Erosion Control Plan submitted to the county Sediment and erosion,control features including silt fence, temporary diversions, and vegetated swales are incorporated in erosion and control plan.

Low density projects should not have a discrete stormwater collection system as defined by 15A NCAC 2H .1002(18). Low density requirements and density factors can be found in Session Law 2008 -211, 15A NCAC 2H .1000, Session Law 2006 -246 and the State of North Carolina Stormwater Best Management Practice Manual. Curb and gutter systems are allowed provided they meet the requirements in 15A NCAC 2H. 1008(g). I.

Grass height will not exceed six inches at any time; and grass will not be mowed too close to the ground or "scalped ". 2. Swales will be inspected monthly or after every runoff producing rainfall event for sediment build -up, erosion, and trash accumulation. 3., Accumulated sediment and trash will be.removed.as necessary. Swales will be reseeded or sodded following sediment removal. 4. Eroded areas of the swales will be,repaired and reseeded. Swales will be revegetated- as needed and in a timelymanner based on themonthly inspections. Side slopes must be maintained at the permitted slope. 5. Catch basins, curb cuts, velocity reduction devices,, and piping will be inspected monthly or after every significant runoff producing rainfall event. Trash and debris will be cleared away from grates, curb cuts, velocity reduction devices and piping. 6. Swales will not be altered, piped, or filled in without approval from NCDENR Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources. I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that.
