(EEI) has conducted a jurisdictional wetland determination on two parcels of land totaling approximately 37.0-acres located in an area to the north of Old Holland Road and to the south of Weddington Road in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina ("subject property"/"site"). A Nationwide Permit 39, dated June 6, 2007 and modified on October 18, 2007, has been issued for the site by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). As required for the Pre-Construction Notice (PCN), included herein are seven copies of the following documents: • USAGE Nationwide Permit No. 39 -Modified; • Letter t:o USAGE (Steve Lund) requesting additional impact on a perennial channel; • Preliminary Sketch Plan for proposed site development; • Site Boundary/Wetland Survey map; and • Check No. 790178 in the amount of $570.00 (Client, Great Wolf Resorts Operating Partnership, LLLP). The subject property is identified as tax parcel numbers 458-991-1143 and 459-901-2280 are tentatively scheduled for :proposed development as a recreational resort in late 2007/early 2008. The modification was requested by our Client (Great Wolf Resorts Operating Partnership, LLLP) due to engineering constraints and public safety. It should be noted that this area is to be impacted for a road crossing. Furthermore, our client tried to preserve as much as the channel as possible; however with the current permit the engineers have been forced to use a tall H-pile wall due to the onsite gas line which runs through the area. The onsite gas line has limited the methods in which they could engineer the onsite road; which has created the needed for the H-pile wall. However, it should be noted that the site is going to be developed as a resort, more specifically afamily-friendly resort and the use of an H-pile wall as tall as the one needed to engineer the road without exceeding the already permitted 100 linear feet of channel is not a safe structure for a high traffic, family resort.

ProLct No. 3297-E-NC Dear Mr. Lund: The purpose of this letter is to request a permit to allow additional impact on a perennial channel located on tax parcel numbers 458-991-1143 and 459-901-2280, which are situated in an area to the north of Old Holland Road and to the south of Weddington Road in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina ("subject property"/"site"). The subject property is and tentatively scheduled for proposed development as a recreational resort in late 2007/early 2008. As outlined in an U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) permit, Action ID: SAW-2007-01753-313 (dated June 6, 2007, Channel A and portions of Channel B were determined to be un-important intermittent channels with the remainder of Channel B identified as perennial. The onsite wetlands were determined to be disturbed, herbaceous wetlands. In the original, previously identified permit, no mitigation was required to impact the channeas and wetlands and only 1001inear feet of the perennial portion of Channel B was proposed to be disturbed during development activities. However, due to engineering constraints, which are outlined below, an additional 49 linear feet is proposed to be impacted along Channel B; thereby changing the total impact of Channel B from 100 linear feet to 149 linear feet. Based upon information obtained from Kimley-Horn, the additional requested 491inear feet of impact is for a road and gas line crossing that during initial site development considerations, did not appear to be warranted for site development. However, current engineering studies indicate that without an additional 49 linear feet, a tall H-pile wall will be required for the proposed crossing. According to Kimley-Horn, this type of crossing is not considered a safe structure for the proposed high volume of traffic at afamily-friendly resort. Please note that the proposed additional impact was not an initial consideration, therefore, our client respectfully requests an additional 49 linear feet of impacted be granted so that a safer alternative can be implemented for the proposed road crossing. If the additiona149 linear feet of impact is allowed, the total site impact is as follows: (1) 0.24 acres of disturbed herbaceous wetland fill, (2) 128 linear feet of unimportant intermittent channel, and (3) 1491inear feet of perennial channel disturbance.

Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the properly? ^ Yes ®No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the :>ize 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. 8. Poncl Creation 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. Poncl to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, loca l 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 may be 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. As noted in the attached proposed site plan 149 linear feet of a perennial channel (Channel B) will be disturbed. Please note that this is a re-permitting activity in which the aforementioned unimportant intermittent channels were determined by the USACE to be unimportant and not to be counted as part of the 150 linear feet threshold. It should be noted that the client tried to engineer the site in such a manor to only impact a small portion of the perennial channel, however due to engineering constraints (i.e. a onsite gas line and the current engineering which includes a large H-Pile wall which is not a safe alternative engineering method for a high traffic family resort). The additional linear footage (491inear feet) is requested so that a large H-Pile wall will not be implemented and a safer alternative can prevail, it should be reiterated that the impact will entail a total of 1491inear feet of the perennial channel. The additional impacts were approved prior due to the determination presented by the Army Page 9 of 13 Corp of Engineers, in which Channel A and portions of Channel B were determined to be unimportant intermittent channels and onsite wetlands were determined to be disturbed herbaceous wetlands. 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. USAGE - 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 Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as rriuch 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. Duey to the previous USAGE determination of Channel A and portions of onsite Channel B as unimportant intermittent channels and onsite wetlands Was disturbed, herbaceous wetlands, which was created by onsite grading and filling activities, it is anticipated that no mitigation should be required. Furthermore, it should be noted that onsite impact to the perennial portion of the channel will remain under 1501inear feet. 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 (919) 715-0476 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 Page 10 of 13 additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.

Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3 Q Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). ' Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": B. CHARACTER][STICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section IILD.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. They determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below. 1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: Pick List Drainage area: 7,221 square miles Average annual rainfall: 43.80 inches Average annual snowfall: 8.0 inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: [] Tributary flows directly into TNW. ~~ Tributary flows through 2 tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) river miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (ar less) river miles from RPW. Project waters are 1 (or less} aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 {or less) aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: Identify flow route to TNWS: Onsite tributaries flow into offsite pond then into an unnamed tributary then into Rock River. ' Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regazding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and West. s Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW. Tributary stream order, if known: 1. (b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that apples Tributary is: ®Natural ^ Artificial (man-made). Explain: ® Manipulated (man-altered). Explain: Channel B has a culvert. Tributary properties with respect to top of bank (estimate): Average width: 3 feet Average depth: 3 feet Average side slopes: 2z. Primary tributary substrate composition (check all that apply): ® Silts ®Sands ^ Concrete ® Cobbles ^ Gravel ^ Muck ^ Bedrock ^ Vegetation. Type/% cover: ^ Other.

(iii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.). Explain: Identify specific pollutants, if known: 6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporazily flows underground, or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

Characteristics of all wetlands adjacent to the tributary (if any) All wetland(s) being considered in the cumulative analysis: Approximately (0.24) acres in total are being considered in the cumulative analysis. For each wetland, specify the following: Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acresl Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Wetland A (y) 0.21 Wetland C (n) 0.01 Wetland D (n) 0.02 Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: C. SIGNIFICANT' NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant ne+xus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in thc~ Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1. Significant: nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO SUPPORT JD: It should be noted that as depicted on the wetlands survy, Channel A is an unimportant intermittent channel which connects into Wetland A. Wetland A is upstream and connected to Channel B which has portions of unimportant intermittent channel as well as perennial. Furthermore, Wetlands C and D are very small wetlands which are connect to onsite channels and Wetland A be means of overlan flow. All features on the subject property are connected indirectly to a TNW by means of water flow through Channel B in an offiste pond, which water flows into another unnamed tributary which is connected to Rocky River (TNW). Therefore, all onsite water features are Jurisidictional.
