This project is in Charlotte (Cabarrus County). This project involves Commercial Development. Angela Petros ATLAS Environmental, Inc. 338 S. Sharon Amity Road #411 Charlotte, NC 28211 (704) 965-1219 mobile www.atiasenvi.com Offices in Asheville and Charlotte RON MENTAL n�AS ENVIRONMENTAL May 17, 2023 NC Division of Water Resources 401 and Buffer Permitting Unit Attn: Stephanie Goss 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Re: AMC: 89.55 Acres 5301 Stowe Lane Charlotte, NC 28262 IWGP 100000 Permit Verification Request Stephanie: The applicant, Gene Cocchi of HSREI, LLC is requesting approval of the enclosed Isolated Wetlands and Waters permit for unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources. The AMC project review area consists of two separate delineations and approved jurisdictional determinations. AMC 150 has been assigned Action ID SAW-2022-02645 and AMC 300 has been assigned Action ID SAW-2023-00475. The approved jurisdictional determination for AMC 150 was issued on March 10, 2023 and the approved jurisdictional determination for AMC 300 was issued on March 13, 2023. One non -regulated stormwater control measure was observed to exist within the AMC 300 project boundary. A review of Google Earth aerial imagery (included within the AMC 300 resource maps) indicates that the SCM was constructed in high ground between 2007 and 2008. The purpose of the project is for the construction of a commercial development for Hendrick Motorsports including four buildings, a secure storage area, future development area, parking, roadways, stormwater treatment, and additional necessary utility installation. The only proposed impact for the development is to one isolated wetland identified on the AMC 150 aquatic resource sketch map as WL 1000. The impact is identified as W1 and is approximately 0.613 acre of permanent wetland fill for the construction of the building identified as HMM (Site 4) which is proposed to be 150,000 square feet. The project has been designed and engineered to avoid and minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. There are no proposed impacts to streams, open waters, or Corps jurisdictional wetlands. The design of 3:1 side slopes will reduce the potential for slope failure and will also reduce stormwater runoff volume and velocity reducing the potential for erosion control issues. The proper installation and maintenance of erosion control devices and best management practices will prevent unintentional off -site or on - site impacts. The proposed five stormwater control measures will prevent impacts related to stormwater runoff from the site.

As the official Bank Sponsor, Water & Land Solutions, LLC, attests to the fact that mitigation is available for reservation at this time. These mitigation credits are not considered secured, and consequently are eligible to be used for alternate purposes by the Bank Sponsor, until payment in full is received from the Applicant resulting in the issuance of a Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate by the bank acknowledging that the Applicant has fully secured credits from the bank and the Banker has accepted full responsibility for the mitigation obligation requiring the credits/units. The Banker will issue the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate within three (3) days of receipt of the purchase price. Banker shall provide to Applicant a copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate and a documented copy of the debit of credits from the Bank Official Credit Ledger(s), indicating the permit number and the resource type secured by the applicant. A copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate, with an updated Official Credit Ledger will also be sent to regulatory agencies showing the proper documentation.

Preliminary Determination ❑ There appearto be waters onthe above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto 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 and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation mapdated 2/20/2023. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination maybe used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigationrequirements, 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 anyway by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters 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 contactingthe Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto Section 404 of the 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 determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of C WA/RHA jurisdiction over allof the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate andreliable to support anenforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated.

[Required] ❑ Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. ❑ Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or maybe susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce. Explain: B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION. There are not"waters ofthe U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFRpart 328) in the review area. [Required] 1. Waters of the U.S. a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply):' El TNWs, including territorial seas ❑Wetlands adjacentto TNWs ❑Relatively permanent waters 2 (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Impoundments of jurisdictional waters ❑Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area: Non -wetland waters: linear feet, wide, and/or acres. Wetlands: acres. c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: Choose an item. Elevation of established OHWM (if known): ' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. 2 Forpurposes 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). Page 1 of 8 Form Version 10 June 2020 Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable) : 3 ❑X Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: Isolated Wetland WL 1000 has no hydrological connection to any jurisdictional waters.. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS 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 IILA.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: WetlandadjacenttoTNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent': B. CHARACTERISTICS 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 III.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut anRPW 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 adj scent 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 adj acent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IH.0 below. 1.

Where there is a break in the OIIWM 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.

SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus 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 adj acent 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 the 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 rearingyoung 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 food webs? • 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. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section IILD: 2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combinationwith all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section IILD: 3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section IILD: L.

Preliminary Determination ❑ There appearto be waters onthe above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto 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 and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation mapdated 2/21/2023. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination maybe used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigationrequirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat a ll waters and wetlands that would be affected in anyway by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters 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 requestan approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contactingthe Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto Section 404 of the 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 determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of C WA/RHA jurisdiction over allof the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate andreliable to support anenforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated.

[Required] ❑ Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. ❑ Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or maybe susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce. Explain: B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION. There are not"waters ofthe U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFRpart 328) in the review area. [Required] 1. Waters of the U.S. a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply):' El TNWs, including territorial seas ❑Wetlands adjacentto TNWs ❑Relatively permanent waters 2 (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Impoundments of jurisdictional waters ❑Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area: Non -wetland waters: linear feet, wide, and/or 0.042 acres. Wetlands: acres. c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: Established OHWM Elevation of established OHWM (if known): ' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. 2 Forpurposes 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). Page 1 of 8 Form Version 10 June 2020 Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable) : 3 ❑X Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: SCM 1 is a non -regulated stormwater control measure with no hydrological connection to any jurisdictional features. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS 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 IILA.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 11111 below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: WetlandadjacenttoTNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent': B. CHARACTERISTICS 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 III.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut anRPW 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 adj acent 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 adj acent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in SectionIII.0 below. 1.

SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus 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 adj acent 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 the 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 rearingyoung 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 food webs? • 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.

FISH &WI ELIFE SEWUnited States Department of the Interior A ' FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE pia �q¢CH 3 yak Asheville Field Office 160 Zillicoa Street Suite B Asheville, North Carolina 28801 May 3, 2023 Mr. David Rabon Atlas Environmental, Inc. 338 S. Sharon Amity Road, 9411 Charlotte, North Carolina 28211 Subject: AMC 150 Commercial Development in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Dear Mr. Rabon: On March 30, 2023, we received (via email) your information requesting our review of the subject project. We have reviewed the information that you presented for this request and the following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of 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). Proiect Description According to the information provided, Acro Development Service proposes to construct a commercial development and associated infrastructure on approximately 28 acres at 5301 Stowe Lane in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Federally Listed Species An assessment of suitable habitat and potential impacts to three species was conducted by environmental specialist with Atlas Environmental, Inc. on October 12, 2022 and January 11, 2023. The findings were compiled and included in the review request submitted to our office on March 30, 2023. The following species and their associated habitats were evaluated. Species Status' Monarch Danaus plexippus CAN Schweinitz's sunflower Helianthus schweinitzii E Tricolored bat Perimyotis subflavus PE 'E = endangered, PE = proposed endangered, and CAN = candidate species. Monarch butterfly is a candidate species, and we appreciate the project proponent Is consideration of monarch butterfly when evaluating the action area for impacts to federally listed species and their habitats. The species is not subject to section 7 consultation, and an effects determination is not necessary. General recommendations for pollinators can be provided and would be protective of monarch butterfly should the project proponent like to implement them in the future. The review request states that suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower is present on site; however, the species was not observed during surveys. Based on negative results of visual surveys conducted on October 12, 2022, we would concur with a "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination from the lead federal action agency for this species. Suitable habitat for tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may be present at the site. On September 14, 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the Act. The Service has up to 12 months from the date the proposal published to make a final determination, either to list the tricolored bat under the Act or to withdraw the proposal. The Service determined the bat faces extinction primarily due to the range -wide impacts of white -nose syndrome (WNS). Because tricolored bat populations have been greatly reduced due to WNS, surviving bat populations are now more vulnerable to other stressors such as human disturbance and habitat loss. Species proposed for listing are not afforded protection under the Act; however, as soon as a listing becomes effective (typically 30 days after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register), the prohibitions against jeopardizing its continued existence and "take" will apply. Therefore, if you suspect your future or existing project may affect tricolored bats after the potential new listing goes into effect, we recommend analyzing possible effects of the project on tricolored bats and their habitat to determine whether consultation under section 7 of the Act is necessary. Conferencing procedures can be followed prior to listing to ensure the project does not jeopardize the existence of a species. Projects with an existing section 7 biological opinion may require re -initiation of consultation to provide uninterrupted authorization for covered activities. Please contact our office for additional guidance or assistance. We believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled for the federally listed species discussed above. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if (1) new information reveals impacts of the identified action may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed, or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action. Fish and Wildlife Resource Recommendations We offer the following general recommendations for the benefit of fish and wildlife resources: Erosion and Sedimentation Control. Construction activities near aquatic resources, streams, and wetlands have the potential to cause bank destabilization, water pollution, and water quality degradation if measures to control site runoff are not properly installed and maintained. In order to effectively reduce erosion and sedimentation impacts, best management practices specific to the extent and type of construction should be designed and installed prior to land -disturbing activities and should be maintained throughout construction. Natural fiber matting (coir) should be used for erosion control as synthetic netting can trap animals and persists in the environment beyond its intended purpose. Land disturbance should be limited to what can be stabilized quickly, preferably by the end of the workday. Once construction is complete, disturbed areas should be revegetated with native riparian grass and tree species as soon as possible. For maximum benefits to water quality and bank stabilization, riparian areas should be forested; however, if the areas are maintained in grass, they should not be mowed. The Service can provide information on potential sources of plant material upon request. A complete design manual that is consistent with the requirements of the North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act and Administrative Rules, can be found at the following website: https:lldeq.nc.govlabout/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources. Impervious Surfaces/Stormwater/Low Impact Development (LID). Increased development contributes to the increased quantity and decreased quality of stormwater entering project area waterways. Additionally, increased development outside the floodplain increases stormwater flows already caused by the lack of or loss of riparian buffers and floodplain development. Recent studies' have shown that areas of 10 percent to 20 percent impervious surface (such as roofs, roads, and parking lots) double the amount of stormwater runoff compared to natural cover and decrease deep infiltration (groundwater recharge) by 16 percent. At 35 — 50 percent impervious surface, runoff triples, and deep infiltration is decreased by 40 percent. Above 75 percent impervious surface, runoff is 5.5 times higher than natural cover, and deep infiltration is decreased by 80 percent. Additionally, the adequate treatment of stormwater at project sites is essential for the protection of water quality and aquatic habitat. Impervious surfaces also collect pathogens, metals, sediment, and chemical pollutants and quickly transmit them (via stormwater runoff) to receiving waters. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this nonpoint-source pollution is one of the major threats to water quality in the United States, posing one of the greatest threats to aquatic life, and is also linked to chronic and acute illnesses in human populations from exposure through drinking water and contact recreational. Increased stormwater runoff also directly damages aquatic and riparian habitat, causing streambank and stream channel scouring. Additionally, 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. To avoid any additional impacts to habitat quality within the watershed, we recommend that all new developments, regardless of the percentage of impervious surface area created, implement stormwater retention and treatment measures designed to replicate and maintain the hydrograph at the preconstruction condition. We recommend the use of low impact development techniques,Z such as reduced road widths, grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens, and wetland retention areas, for retaining and treating stormwater 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 development. Where detention ponds are used, stormwater 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 stormwater, attenuating the potential adverse effects of stormwater surges; thermal spikes; and sediment, nutrient, and chemical discharges. Also, because the purpose of stormwater control measures is to protect streams and wetlands, no stormwater control measures or best management practices should be installed within any stream (perennial or intermittent) or wetland. We also recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious materials (i.e., pervious concrete, interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.) for the construction of roads, driveways, sidewalks, etc. Pervious surfaces minimize changes to the hydrology of the watershed and can be used to facilitate groundwater recharge. Pervious materials are also less likely to absorb and store 'Federal Interagency Stream Restoration Working Group (15 federal agencies of the United States Government).

Additionally, pervious concrete requires less maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large voids within the concrete. Use of any of the proposed stormwater collection devices described above will dramatically decrease the quantity and increase the quality of stormwater runoff.
