Atlas Environmental received the initial verification of the NWP 29 on April 26, 2024 issued by Krysta Stygar. The City of Concord will be taking jurisdiction of the roads within the subdivision. However, the City is not accepting the proposed headwalls and insists on side slopes at the culverts. The grading has increased impacts to Impact S1 and W1 but will remain under the mitigation threshold. Impact S1 will consist of 272 LF (0.13 acres) for the installation of the culvert and grading, an increase of 64 LF (0.004 acres). Impact W1 will consist of —0.075 acres of fill for the culvert and grading, an increase of 0.058 acres. Temporary impacts will remain the same for pump around and construction access, Temporary Impact S2 and S3 (30 LF, 0.001 acres) and Temporary Impact W2 (0.001 acres). Approximately 70% of the stream features onsite are not being impacted permanently, along with 10.42 acres of impoundments. Three isolated wetlands are being impacted, however 96% of jurisdictional wetlands have been preserved from permanent impacts. A vegetative setback has been applied as well as stream buffers on CH 100. Enclosed are the necessary permit application documents and additional information. Thank you for your attention to the enclosed request. Please contact me if you need any additional information. Best regards, Allyson Sinclair asinclair@atlasenvi.com ATLAS Environmental, Inc. 338 S.

All sewer lines shall be designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with Title 15A NCAC Chapter 02T, applicable Minimum Design Criteria (MDC), and/or Alternative Design Criteria. Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c) Justification: The referenced Minimum Design criteria and 02T rules were adopted to ensure that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife: secondary contact recreation: agriculture), and that activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis. b. Any utility construction corridor that is parallel to a stream or open water shall not be closer than 10 feet to the top of bank or ordinary high-water mark.

For all utility lines constructed within wetlands, an anti -seep collar shall be placed at the downstream (utility line gradient) wetland boundary and every 150 feet up the gradient until the utility exits the wetland. Anti -seep collars may be constructed with class B concrete, compacted clay, PVC pipe, or metal collars. Wetland crossings that are directionally drilled, and perpendicular wetland crossings that are open cut and less than 150 feet long do not require anti -seep collars. The compacted clay shall have a specific infiltration of 1 X 10-5 cm/sec or less. A section and plan view diagram is attached for the anti -seep collars. The following specifications shall apply to class B concrete: i. Minimum cement content, sacks per cubic yard with rounded coarse aggregate 5.0 ii. Minimum cement content, sacks per cubic yard with angular coarse aggregate 5.5 iii. Maximum water -cement ratio gallons per sack 6.8 iv. Slump range 2" to 4" v.

The permittee shall have a specific plan for restoring wetland contours to pre -construction conditions. Any excess material will be removed to a high ground disposal area. The mixing of topsoil and subsoils within the wetlands along utility corridors shall be minimized to the greatest extent practical. During excavation, the soils shall be placed on fabric to minimize impacts whenever possible. Topsoil excavated from utility trenches will be piled separately from subsoils and will be backfilled into the trench only after the subsoils have been placed and compacted.

This project has been assigned the file number SAW-2022-02562 and is known as Lakeside Reserve. This file number should be referenced in all correspondence concerning this project. A review of the information provided indicates that the proposed work would include the Fill for road construction (0.017 acres ), 197 LF of fill to intermittent stream for a culvert and 0.016 acres wetland fill for road construction. The project area for this determination includes a 93.2 acre(s) area which is illustrated on the enclosed site plans/maps. The project/review area is located in Cold Water Creek Watershed; at 2183 Heglar Road , at Latitude 35.386700 and Longitude-80.527180-1 in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. We have determined that the proposed work is authorized by NWP 29 pursuant to authorities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.0 § 1344). The proposed work must be accomplished in strict accordance with the general permit conditions, any regional conditions, the application materials, and the enclosed plans. If the extent of the project area and/or nature of the authorized impacts to waters are modified, a revised PCN must be submitted to this office for written approval before work is initiated. Any violation of permit conditions or deviation from your submitted plans may subject the permittee to enforcement action. This verification is valid until March 14, 2026, unless prior to this date the subject NWP(s) is suspended, revoked, or is modified such that the activity no longer complies with the terms and conditions of this NWP. If you commence or are under contract to commence this activity before the date that the relevant NWP is modified or revoked, you will have 12 months from the date of the modification or revocation of the NWP to complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of this NWP. OPTIONAL: Activities subject to Section 404 (as indicated above) may also require an individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification. You should contact the NC Division of Water Resources (telephone 919-807-6300) to determine Section 401 requirements. This NWP 29 verification does not preclude the necessity to obtain any other Federal, State, or local permits, licenses, and/or certifications, which may be required.
