Nationwide Permit 29 Application (Phase 2)
Action ID SAW 2022-00421 / DWR Project #: 22-0652
Krysta/Paul:
The applicant, Mr. Steve Bailey with BBC Cramer Estates, LLC, is requesting approval of the
enclosed Nationwide Permit 29 verification for unavoidable impacts to potential Waters of the
United States. Atlas Environmental completed a stream and wetland delineation on February 9,
2019 and a jurisdictional determination was issued on March 17, 2021. The project is for the
construction of a residential subdivision and is a phased project. Phase 1 was permitted under
a NWP 29 which was issued on June 08, 2022. Impacts associated with phase 1 included one
stream impact on channel CH 200 (S1: 0.004 Ac) and two isolated wetland impacts at wetlands
WL 2000 and WL 2100 (0.042 acres and 0.005 Ac respectively).
Phase 2 of the Cramer Estates development will require one unavoidable stream impact for site
access. Impact S1 for phase 2 is a permanent culverted stream crossing. The impact area is
on perennial channel CH 300 and is 0.016 acres and 115 linear feet. The culvert crossing will
include headwalls at the culvert inlet and outlet to avoid and minimize impacts. Rip -rap will be
imbedded into the channel bed at the culvert inlet and outlet for long term stability to prevent
erosive conditions. The combined stream impact for phase 1 and phase 2 totals 0.02 acres. No
Corps jurisdictional wetlands were impacted in phase 1 and there are no proposed wetland
impacts in phase 2.
Enclosed are the necessary nationwide permit 29 verification documents and additional
information. Thank you for your attention to the enclosed request. Please contact me if you
need any additional information.
Best regards,
Jennifer L Robertson, President

Krysta,
Following up on this one from yesterday, Alan and I spoke this morning. During the logging activities on site,
sediment got into the area where the willows are planted and coir logs are installed. Len worked with the
owner (at that time) and Alan to resolve the violation and it is closed. I think we are two owners removed from
the owner when the violation occurred. The company our clients purchased from had only owned the property
for about a year. I sent Alan our delineation map and told him that we met with you on site earlier this week.
We reviewed the map this morning and I showed him the area on our map where the previous violation
occurred. I explained that we would be submitting a permit application (probably next week) for one road
crossing and one driveway crossing within Phase 1. Phase 2 will occur on the other side of Stroupe Road and
we do not have the plans for it yet so it will be permitted at a later date in time. I do believe that it will be a
future Phase of Cramer Estates so we will make sure that impacts are cumulative to this initial phase.
We would site like an AJD for this one.
Thank you,

Based on the field verification of aquatic resources at the Cramer Estates review area on March 15, 2022 I have made
revisions to the Aquatic Resource Sketch Map and additional necessary revisions to the ORM upload sheet. I have also
included the additional data form for the upland area along the bank of the ephemeral section identified as EPH
200. Based on our discussions in the field we are going to proceed with the AJD instead of converting the request to a

Dear Jacob Sinclair:
US.
111411 l�IFE
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your
correspondence dated February 18, 2022, (received February 22, 2022, via email) wherein you
solicit our comments regarding project -mediated impacts to federally protected species. We
submit the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental Policy Act
(42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
According to the information provided, the Applicant proposes to construct a residential
development and appurtenances on approximately 50 partially forested acres in Gastonia, North
Carolina. The information provided suggests that the proposed project will require authorization
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to impact Waters of the United States. Preliminary
design plans depict the proposed construction of 86 lots in two separate development phases.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the action area
(50CFR 402.02) for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis).
However, the final 4(d) rule, (effective as of February 16, 2016) exempts incidental take of
northern long-eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a
known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during
the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Based on the information provided, the project would occur at
a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under
the 4(d) rule for this species. The Applicant intends to avoid any associated tree clearing
activities during this animal's maternity roosting season from May 15 — August 15. If adhered
to, this impact minimization measure would support our concurrence with a "may affect,
not likely to adversely affect" determination from the action agency.
The information provided also indicates that suitable habitat is present within the action area for
the federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). However, your

correspondence suggests that targeted botanical surveys were conducted within the appropriate
timeframe (September 3, 2021) and did not detect evidence for this species at that time. If all
potential habitats for this species within the action area were evaluated at that time, we believe
that the probability for inadvertent loss of this plant species is insignificant and discountable and
we would concur with a "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination from the
action agency.
The information provided also indicates that suitable habitat is present onsite for the federally
threatened dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora). Botanical surveys detected evidence
for members of the genus Hexastylis within the proposed action area, but the species was not or
could not be diagnosed at that time. Provided that targeted botanical surveys are conducted
during the appropriate survey window, and do not detect the presence of Hexastylis naniflora, we
would concur with a "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination from the action
agency.
For the purposes of consultation under the Act, botanical survey results are valid for one or two
years depending on the species:
https://www. fws. gov/asheville/pdfs/Optimal%20 Survey%20 W indows%20for%201isted%20plant
s%202020.pdf
Based on the information provided, suitable habitat does not occur onsite for any other federally
listed species. In accordance with the Act, it is the responsibility of the appropriate federal
action agency or its designated representative to review its activities or programs and to identify
any such activities or programs that may affect endangered or threatened species or their
habitats. If it is determined that the proposed activity may adversely affect any species federally
listed as endangered or threatened, formal consultation with this office must be initiated. Our
concurrence with "no effect" determinations from action agencies is not required.
We offer the following recommendations in the interest of protecting natural resources:
Erosion and Sediment Control
Measures to control sediment and erosion should be installed before any ground -disturbing
activities occur. Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and existing native vegetation
should be retained (if possible) to maintain riparian cover for fish and wildlife. Disturbed areas
should be revegetated with native vegetation as soon as the project is completed. Ground
disturbance should be limited to what will be stabilized quickly, preferably by the end of the
workday. Natural fiber matting (coir) should be used for erosion control as synthetic
netting can trap animals and persist in the environment beyond its intended purpose.
Impervious Surfaces and Low -Impact Development
Increased storm -water runoff also degrades aquatic and riparian habitat, causing stream -bank and
stream -channel scouring. Impervious surfaces reduce groundwater recharge, resulting in even
lower than expected stream flows during drought periods, which can induce potentially
catastrophic effects for fish, mussels, and other aquatic life. Accordingly, we recommend that all
new development, regardless of the percentage of impervious surface area they will create,
implement storm -water -retention and -treatment measures designed to replicate and maintain the
2

hydrograph at the preconstruction condition to avoid any additional impacts to habitat quality
within the watershed.
We recommend the use of low -impact -development techniques, such as reduced road widths,
grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens, and wetland retention areas, for
retaining and treating storm -water runoff rather than the more traditional measures, such as large
retention ponds, etc. These designs often cost less to install and significantly reduce
environmental impacts from residential development.
Where detention ponds are used, storm -water outlets should drain through a vegetated area prior
to reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention structures should be designed to allow
for the slow discharge of storm water, attenuating the potential adverse effects of storm -water
surges; thermal spikes; and sediment, nutrient, and chemical discharges. Also, because the
purpose of storm -water -control measures is to protect streams and wetlands, no
storm -water -control measures or best management practices should be installed within any
stream (perennial or intermittent) or wetland.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron
Hamstead of our staff at [e-mail] if you have any questions. In any future
correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-22-488.

A. Preliminary Determination
® There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has beenverifiedby the Corps to be sufficiently accurate andreliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 3/16/2022. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of
impacts, compensatorymitigationrequirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a
preliminary JD will treat allwaters and wetlands thatwould be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they
are jurisdictionalwaters 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.
0 There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction detennination may not be used in the pennit 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 andreliable to support an enforceable
permit decision. We recommendthatyou have the waters on yourproject 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 ofthe United States within theabove described project area/property subjectto the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 ofthe Clean Water Act

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subjectpermit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
