please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know:
Thanks!

1.0 Introduction
The Coastal Cazolina Country Club (Club) is located east of Hwy. 117, west of I-40, and south of
Wilmington Street Extension (See Appendix A: Site Maps). Fill and culverts were placed in two
locations along a stream and two small wetland azeas were filled (Appendix B: Engineering
Drawings) during construction of the golf course. These impacts were not permitted at the time
of construction due to a misunderstanding of the regulations in place at the time. On 21 July
2004, the Club was sold to new owners who had no connection to the previous on-site activities.
The subsequent owners of the Club have been attempting to remedy the previous on-site
activities and are submitting a Restoration and Permit Plan (Plan) to restore approximately 447
linear feet of stream and to apply for a Nationwide Permit for wetland and stream impacts that
aze needed to maintain the golf course and to maintain play on the golf course. The new owners
plan on improving site conditions to benefit the community and the previously-impacted
systems.
The Club proposes to apply for a Nationwide Permit #39 (See Appendix C: NWP 39) to impact:
0 20.0E lineaz feet of stream along the 14~' Fairway (Appendix B, Map #4); and
0 1,294.47E sq. ft. of wetland along (567.Ot sq. ft.) and within (727.471 sq. ft.)
the 14"' Fairway (See Appendix B, Map # 1 and Map #2).
In discussions with the Corps of Engineers (Corps) and with the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ), the Club has agreed to restore approximately 447.0E linear feet of stream within the
property owned by the client at the following locations:
1. 260E linear feet of fill and culvert in the stream within the 15~' fairway and
under the cart path along the 15~' fairway - (Appendix B, Map #3); and
2. 187flineaz feet of fill and culvert in the stream within the 14"' fairway -
(Appendix B, Map #4).
The Applicant, owner of the property on which the referenced fill is located, has retained
Southern Environmental Group, Inc. to prepaze a restoration plan to fulfill stream restoration as
agreed with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (ACOE) during a series of meetings (2004 - 2007). This report proposed restoration
and permitting activities associated with the disturbed wetland and stream impacts .described
supra and infra.
2.0 Impacted Site
The impacted areas aze a stream, classified as a perennial stream, and a small wet flat wetland.
The stream located on-site is an unnamed tributary of Burgaw Creek that is within the Cape Feaz

04-044.01 Restoration anc~ Permit Phan [3/26] S ~~ ~
River Basin. The streams, prior to being filled, were bare of vegetation and had historically been
channelized to accommodate flow from the stormwater flowing from the City of Burgaw and
Highway 117 and to accommodate play along the golf course.
Dominant vegetation in the wetlands include tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple
(Ater rubrum), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), pond pine
(Pinus serotina), loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus), sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana), tall
gallberry (Ilex coriacea), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and laurel-leaved greenbriar (Smilax
laurifolia).
3.0 Habitat Values
The quality of these habitats have been impacted over time by the development of the golf course
and by the expanding population surrounding Burgaw, but the habitat surrounding the golf course
still provides for a number of functions to wildlife which migrate through the area seasonally or
utilize these wetlands during a life history stage.
Mammalian species which have the potential to utilize the property include white-tailed deer
(Odocoileus virginianus), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), raccoon
(Procyon lotor), opossum (Didelphis virginian), and gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis).
Birds utilizing the property may include hawks, owls, and smaller species such as American
robin (Turdus migratorius), blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), mocking bird (Mimus polyglottos),
eastern wood pewee (Cantopus wens), Carolina chickadee (Parus carolinensis), Carolina wren
(Thryothorus ludovicianus), tufted titmouse (Parus bicolor), and species from the family
Ardeidae (herons) that may use this area for habitat and nesting areas.
Herpetological species that have the potential to utilize the property include the eastern
cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), southern copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix),
redbelly water snake (Nerodia erythrogaster erythrogaster), rough green snake (Opheodrys
aestivus), and black rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta). Turtle species that have the potential
to utilize the property include eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina), spotted turtle
(Clemmys guttata), snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina), and eastern mud turtle (Kinosternon
subrubrum). Many species of toad, including species of Scaphiopus (spadefoot) and Bufo (true
toads), frog, including species of Hyla (tree frogs) and Rana (true frogs), and salamanders,
including species of Ambystoma (mole salamanders), Notophthalmus (newts) and Plethodon
(wood salamanders), have the potential to utilize the property.

04-044.01 Restoration and Permit Pan [4/26] ~~G1
4.0 Proposed Restoration
The Applicant, to resolve the ongoing violation, proposes to restore two impacts to a stream by
removing:
• 260E linear feet of fill and culvert in the stream within the 15`~ fairway and
under the cart path along the 15~' fairway - (Appendix B, Map #3); and
• 187E linear feet of fill and culvert in the stream within a portion of the 14~'
fairway - (Appendix B, Map #4).
A wetland seed mix will be used to cover the banks prior to the banks being stabilized using a
biodegradable matting (e.g., coco-matting or similar material).
4.1 Restoration Activities
The proposed resolution will include restoration of stream channel within the 14~' and 15`h
fairways (Appendix B, Maps #3 and #4) and re-vegetation and stabilization of the previously
impacted stream and the stream banks.
Restoration of the stream channels will involve removing fill and culverts from the stream
channel and grading the stream beds with slopes having a ratio somewhere between 1 / 1 and
1 /3 (where slope is equal to rise (vertical)/run (horizontal) (See Appendix B, Typical
Cross-Section). The 111 to 113 slope range is appropriate in this area since these streams,
historically, have been channelized to improve drainage from the Highway and from Burgaw.
The restored channel will follow the pre-impact channel as surveyed. Stabilization of the stream
banks will consist of seeding with a wetland seed mix prior to covering the banks with coconut-
fiber matting, or similar biodegradable matting.
The stream through the 15`h fairway will be restored starting from the downstream side. The
restoration will include grading, seeding, and stabilizing the banks prior to removing the last bit
of sediment from the upstream side of the original stream channel. This process prevents
restricting the stream flow during restoration activity as the pipe does not follow the original
stream channel.
The stream through the 14`h fairway will be restored after a small dam has been placed at the
upstream side of the current fill. The dam will restrict flow until the culvert and fill can be
removed, the grade established, and the slopes stabilized.
The restoration of the two streams should be complete within a 2 week period, weather
permitting.

04-044.01 Restoration anc~ Permit Pan [5/26] S ~G ~
5.0 Monitoring and Success Criteria
The success criteria of this mitigation site will be the restoration of the streams to their original
location, sloping the stream banks back to a slope somewhere between a 1 / 1 to 1 / 3 slope,
and stabilization of the stream banks.
After two years, the restoration plan will be considered a success if no significant erosion has
occurred and if the banks are stable and vegetated. The Plan, in whole or in part, may be
successful prior to the end of the two-year monitoring period.
5.1 Stream Restoration Report
An initial Stream Restoration Report will be produced after restoration of the streams has been
completed and once after each site visit until the Corps deems the project a success. Every six
months after the initial report, a site visit will be made to ensure that no significant erosion has
occurred and to document site conditions. Photographs will be taken to document stabilized
stream banks and the presence or absence of bank vegetation.
The Report will document, via photographs and a site inspection, stable slopes and bank
vegetation. A copy of the report will be submitted to the Corps and to the DWQ for their review.
6 After-the-fact Permit
This project requires permitting of existing impacts required for maintenance of the golf course
and required to maintain play of the golf course.
6.1 Nationwide Permit 39
The attached NWP 39 (See Appendix C) proposes to permit impacts to 20.0E linear feet of
stream and 1,294.47E square feet of wetland within the subject property. Specifically, the permit
seeks to retain and permit the fill and culverts existing in part of the stream near the 14`'' green
and to permit the filling of wetland along and within the 14"' fairway. These impacts are required
to allow continued operation of the existing golf course and to allow for access to the 14`h
fairway by maintenance vehicles. Without the proposed permit, maintenance of the l4`'' fairway
would cause impacts to waters of the United States because the maintenance vehicles would be
forced to cross the waters of the United States to reach the areas needing to be maintained.
The proposed impacts are part of the resolution of the ongoing violation on the subject property,
and the new owners, who were not responsible for any violations that exist within the subject
parcel, are eager to resolve any open violations.

04-044.01 Restoration and Permit Plan [6/26] S ~G ~
6.2 Mitigation
The Applicant proposes to mitigate for the proposed impacts by purchasing 0.25 acre of non-
riparian wetland from the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP). The 0.25
acre provides mitigation at a ratio that exceeds 8:1 and should be more than sufficient to account
for all proposed permanent impacts associated with the NWP 39 (See Appendix D: NC EEP
Approval Letter).
7.0 Summary
Fill material had been placed within waters of the United States (stream and wetland) within the
project boundaries prior to the Applicant being the owner of the property. With the submitted
Nationwide Permit #39, the Applicant proposes to permit the existing fill and the existing
culvert within 20 linear feet of stream near the 14~' green and the existing fill within 1,294.471
square feet of wetland within and along the 14~' fairway. In addition, the Club proposes to
restore approximately 447.0E linear feet of stream. Finally, the Club is proposing to mitigate for
wetland impacts through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) at a
ratio significantly higher than required.
