RANCH
Please find seven copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application for the above referenced
project. The site is approximately 37.33 acres in area and is located on Guilford College Road in
Greensboro (Figure 1). The site is currently developed with Hedgecock Builders Supply and is being
evaluated for redevelopment with a retail shopping center.
As shown on the Conceptual Site Plan, several storm drainage pipes converge and discharge onto the
site. A ditch has formed at the discharge point of the pipes. The ditch is located on the eastern portion of
the site, along Guilford College Road. This area will provide road frontage for the proposed
development. We are proposing to fill 1,1621inear feet of the ditch in order to develop outparcels for the
shopping center and to construct an access road. It is necessary to develop the eastern portion of the site
in order to provide visibility and for fmancial reasons. Filling the ditch increases the value of the
property by $3,000,000. As part of the redevelopment, the storm drainage pipes will be rerouted along
Guilford College Road.
Mr. Todd Tugwell completed a USACE Jurisdictional Determination for the site on 12/12/01. At that
time, he determined that the feature was intermittent and unimportant. The USACE issued Nationwide
Permit 39 to authorize impact to 1,200 linear feet of this feature (Action ID 200220195). Ms. Cyndi
Karoly visited the site on January 30, 2002. At that time, she determined that the ditch was intermittent.
The NCDWQ issued a 401 Water Quality Certification on May 13, 2002 that approved filling 1,200
linear feet of intermittent tributary to South Buffalo Creek (DWQ# 02-0733). Mitigation was not
required by either agency for this impact. Due to fmancial constraints, the site was not developed and the
impacts authorized by the USACE and the NCDWQ have not occurred. Since the permits have expired,

ECS Project G-6295
Mr. Andy Williams with the USACE indicated that a new application would be required. Mr. Williams
visited the site on June 5, 2007 and indicated that the feature is unimportant and impacts to it would not
require mitigation.
The Conceptual Site Plan and Conceptual Stormwater Plan show the proposed development and the
location of the unimportant channel on the site. They also show bio-cells on each lot. The bio-cells will
be constructed to treat stormwater in accordance with the applicable regulations.
We are requesting that a 401 Water Quality Certification be issued to authorize the impact to
approximately 1,162 linear feet of an unimportant, intermittent tributary to South Buffalo.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this request or if
additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely consideration of this matter.

property with a retail shopping center. An unimportant, intermittent tributary to South
Buffalo Creek crosses the eastern portion of the site. Several storm drainage pipes that
converge and discharge onto the site have created this feature. As part of the redevelopment,
the storm drainage pipes will be rerouted along Guilford College Road. The unimportant,
intermittent feature will be filled in order to develop shopping center out parcels and to
construct an access road (Friendswood Drivel. There are approximately 433 linear feet of
important, perennial stream channel located on the southern portion of the site. This stream
channel will not be impacted by the proposed development.

wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
Page 3 of 9

listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation. map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: In order to develop the site, 1,162
linear feet of an unimportant, intermittent tributary to South Buffalo Creek will be filled.
Several storm drainage pipes that converge and discharge onto the site have created this
feature. As part of the redevelopment, the storm drainage pipes will be rerouted along
Guilford College Road. The unimportant, intermittent feature will be filled in order to
develop shopping center out parcels and to construct an access road (Friendswood Drivel
There are approximately 433 linear feet of important, perennial stream channel located on the
southern portion of the site. This stream channel will not be impacted by the proposed
development.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding. There are no wetlands located on
the site.

Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and.
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
9. Pond Creation There are no ponds planned for the site.
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.

Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Several storm drainage pipes
converge and discharge onto the site. A ditch has formed at the discharge point. Mr. Todd
Tugwell and Mr. Andy Williams with the USACE have visited the site and deter-mined that the
resulting channel is unimportant and intermittent. Ms. Cyndi Karoly with the NCDWQ has
visited the site and determined that the channel is intermittent. As shown on the Hedgecock
Property Analysis, filling the ditch adds apQroximately $3,000,000 in value to the property. A
tributary to South Buffalo Creek crosses the southern portion of the site. This is an important
feature that will not be impacted by theproposed development.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Page 6 of 9

Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http:l/h2a.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlandslstrm~ide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet}
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The feature on the site has been determined to be unimportant and intermittent by both
the USACE and the NCDWO. Permits have been issued by both agencies for impacts to the
feature that did not require mitigation. Therefore, mitigation should not be required and none
is nrouosed. Due to financial constraints, the site was not redeveloped and the ditch was not
filled. Since the permits have expired, Mr. Williams with the USACE indicated that a new
application would be required.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached. to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http:/IhZo.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):

intermittent tributary to South Buffalo Creek in order to expand a commercial development at Hedgecock Builders Supply

Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying
404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
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 in writing and you may be required to send us a new application far a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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, 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 in the attached certification, as well as the additional condition listed below:
1. An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved in writing by this Office
before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and

of the NC DENR stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at
the subject site, the facilities, as approved by Phis Office, shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater
management plan, as approved by this Office, shall be implemented. The structural stormwater practices and well as
