1.0 INTRODUCTION
Enoch Engineers is currently in the process of facilitating the development of Lexington
Plantation, near Spout Springs, on behalf of Lexington Plantation Investors, LLC and The
Village of Lexington, LLC, Harnett County, North Carolina. This report is submitted to
supplement the Individual Permit Package submitted dated September 28, 2007, to the United
States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE), Wilmington Regulatory Field Office and North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
A vicinity map is included as Fi re I . A site map is included as Figure 2.
2.0 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The Spout Springs community is a mix of residential single and multi-family housing,
commercial development, and undeveloped tracts of land located north of Fort Bragg,
Fayetteville, NC. Phase no. 1 of the proposed Lexington Plantation Subdivision, currently
referred to as "The Gate at Lexington", is presently being developed on non-wetlands, abutting
wetlands. Also, Phase no. 1 of The Village at Lexington, currently referred to as "The Village at
Lexington", is presently being developed on non-wetlands, abutting wetlands.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Survey of Harnett County,
wetlands within the site consist of Roanoke silt loam, a poorly drained soil, generally found in
low lying drainage ways, and Bibb soils, a poorly drained soil, locally found in flood prone areas
of the Coastal Plains. The wetlands present onsite support overstory vegetation consisting of
swamp black gum (Nyssa biflora), pond pine (Pinus serotina), red maple (Acer rubrum), and
tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipfera). Understory vegetation in these areas may consist of shrubs
such as switchcane (Arundinaria tecta), giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), and few species of
mosses.
Upland soils are classified as Gilead loamy sand, a moderately well drained soil, generally found
on ridges of the upper Coastal Plains, and Blaney sand, a well drained soil, commonly occurring
on side slopes of ridges in the upper Coastal Plains. Uplands vegetation consist of a mix of
longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), blackjack oaks (Quercus marilandica),
various scrubby oaks, and some wiregrass (Aristida stricta).
Surrounding land use currently consists of scattered undeveloped, wooded residential parcels,
single family housing, and commercial development. The project area is located within one of
Harnett County's listed Significant Natural Heritage Areas, Reedys Swamp Longleaf Forest
provided by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. West of the project area are single
family housing subdivisions. Northeast of the project area is Reedys Swamp. Northwest of the
project area are single family residential subdivisions. South of the project area consist of single
family subdivisions, and single lot homes.

3.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of the proposed Lexington Plantation residential subdivision and The Village of
Lexington single and multi-unit residential is to address the need for housing in the Spout
Springs area, as well as communities near the Fort Bragg area. Due to the local housing
economics, supply and demand, of the Fort Bragg area, there exists now an incentive to develop
and construct new homes in the area to satisfy any shortages and address any future demand.
There is an estimated future increase in demand for residential housing, including single lot
homes, and multi-unit developments for ideally permanent and locally temporary residents of the
Spout Springs community and surrounding areas.
4.0 WETLANDS AVOIDANCE AND MII~TIMIZATION
4.1 Avoidance
The project area, Lexington Plantation development, is one of a few local sites that offer a
substantial amount of acreage that is suitable for residential development. Preferred conditions
for single-family ormulti-family development are ideal; water supply, available sewage disposal,
and accessibility to major transportation corridors. The proposed Lexington Plantation
development is capable of these preferential conditions.
4.2 Minimization
One of the major concerns for this project is to minimize any and all impacts to jurisdictional
features when possible in order to maximize the use of potential developable lands. Minimum
standards for the right-of--ways (ROWS) of main thoroughfares are employed in accordance to
county and North Carolina Department of Transportation specifications.
5.0 PROPOSED IMPACTS
The project's site design will permanently impact 0.835 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 446
linear feet of natural stream. The total impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and natural streams
onsite will be equivalent to 1.396 acres and 606 linear feet, respectively. See below for an
itemized detail of the wetland and stream impacts.

6.0 MITIGATION
Wetland mitigation will be required for the proposed impacts for Lexington Plantation
development. The owners of the tract own the remainder of the Significant Natural Area of
Harnett County labeled "Reedys Swamp Longleaf Forest". For mitigation purposes, it is
proposed to initially make payment to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
(NCEEP) for presently proposed impacts. Preservation mitigation of the significant natural
wetland features of the longleaf forests and Reedys Swamp can be utilized as well. In
association with state agencies, proposed mitigation for the wetland impacts will be payment to
the NCEEP.
