Attached please find an application for a Department of the Army Corps Individual Permit for
the site known as Queens Gap. Stream impacts include 1,160 linear feet for road crossings and
860 linear feet from golf impacts. There are 0.161 acre of wetland impact and 0.221 acre of
open water impact within the golf course. Total impacts for the project including a previously
approved NW 29 permit are 2,166 linear feet of stream, 0.178 acre of wetland, and 0.221 acre
of open water impact. 250 linear feet of stream on site within the golf course (impact #7) is
intermittent, unimportant and should not require mitigation. There will be 1,916 linear feet of
impact requiring mitigation. At a 2:1 ratio, 3,832 linear feet of stream mitigation is being
proposed.
On site mitigation is proposed for all of these impacts. Devin McCarthy Land Development, LLC
is proposing to enhance 15,741 linear feet of stream on site. 8,518 linear feet of this will be
eligible for mitigation with a full 50 foot unimpacted buffer on each side. Mitigation multipliers
for this activity are included in the Enhancement Plan Appendix N. Enhancement Level I and II
restoration is proposed for the Harris Creek watershed. Total mitigation credit proposed will
equal 3,832 linear feet (see Appendix N for calculations). The permanent 50 foot buffer being
proposed is above what is required for mountain stream restoration and adds up to 9.92 acres
of preserved green space. This additional stream buffer will mitigate for the .178 acre wetland
impact and .221 acre open water impact.
The site is located off of Painters Gap Road west of Thermal City in Rutherford and McDowell
Counties, North Carolina. The site is primarily wooded. There are approximately 114,600 linear
feet of streams on site. 2% of the streams on site are proposed to be impacted with the
proposed site plan. This project is projected to be at least an 8-10 year project so slight
changes to the currently proposed plan are possible. Maps from Rutherford County GIS, USGS
topographical quadrangles, and Rutherford County Soil Survey maps are included for reference.

The named channels on this site are Stoney Creek (WS-V), Lewis Creek (WS-V), Harris Creek
(WS-V), Rock Creek (WS-V), Cobb Branch (WS-V), Stone Creek (C;Tr), Old Boney Creek (C;Tr),
Morgan Creek (C;Tr), Chalk Creek (C;Tr), and Cringer Branch (C;Tr). All channels are in the
Broad River Basin. Data forms for the streams and wetlands are included within this
application. Photographs of the existing site conditions and streams to be impacted are also
included.
Impacts will be for road crossings to access high ground on the property and for golf course
fairway and driving range crossings. Existing roads have been used where possible to avoid
and minimize new impacts. The golf course design has also been carefully adjusted for
avoidance and minimization, including changing many crossings into play-overs instead of
culverting them.

IP SUMMARY

Oueens Gau - Individual Permit Auulication
Applicant: Mr. Burt Baine
Queens Gap
315 Oak Spring Road
Rutherford, North Carolina 28139
Agent: Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants
Post Office Box 882
Canton, North Carolina 28716
Introduction
Location: Devin McCarthy Land Development, LLC is proposing the construction of 29
infrastructure road crossings for the development of a residential subdivision and an 18-
hole golf course on the +/- 3472-acre tract known as Queens Gap. The site plan consists
of a residential development with 1189 single-family lots ranging in size from
approximately 1 to 14 acres and many acres of common open space. The project site is
located in Rutherford County and McDowell County, North Carolina; 35.312933 N
82.031179 W.
To access the site from Asheville, take I-40 East to Exit 85 -Highway 221. Turn right at
the top of the exit ramp and continue south on Highway 221 for approximately 9 miles.
Turn right onto Thermal Cry Road. Continue on Thermal City Road approximately 1
mile to a "fork". Take the right "fork" and continue on Thermal Cry Road until its
intersection with Painter's Gap Road. Turn right onto Painter's Gap Road. The entrance
to the property will be on the right.
Existine Site Conditions: Queens Gap is forested for the greater portion of the property.
There is an extensive logging road network throughout the site. The Mixed Mesic Forest
type dominates the landscape. This forest type occupies rich, acidic, moist, well-drained
sites and contains the most diverse plant communities in the Southeast. The dominant
tree species are American beech (Fagus grandifolia) and oaks, specifically northern red
oak (Quercus rubra) and white oak (Quercus alba).
Other tree species that are abundantly common in these forests include: ash, hickory, red
maple, tulip poplar, hemlock, and buckeye. All are present within Queens Gap. This
forest type also has a very diverse shrub and herbaceous layer. Species at this site
include heart's-a-busting, mountain laurel, pepperbush, ironwood, rhododendron, spice
bush, wild hydrangea, black cohosh, bloodroot, doll's eye, false soloman's seal, galax,
jewelweed, mayapple, Christmas fern, liverleaf, and alumroot.
Tributaries on site include Lewis Creek and unnamed tributaries, Harris Creek and
unnamed tributaries, Rock Creek and unnamed tributaries, Old Bonet' Creek and
unnamed tributaries, Morgan Creek and unnamed tributaries, Cobb Branch and unnamed
tributaries, unnamed tributaries to Stoney Creek, unnamed tributaries to Gringer Branch,

Stone Creek and unnamed tributaries, and Chalk Creek and unnamed tributaries. All
tributaries within the project boundary are in the Broad River Basin.
Lewis Creek, Harris Creek, unnamed tributaries to Stoney Creek, and Cobb Branch make
up the hydrologic systems on the southeastern portion of the property where the golf
course is being constructed. These streams are all classified as "WS-V" waters. The
other named streams and their tributaries on site make up the north and northwest
portions of the project and are Old Bonet' Creek, Morgan Creek, Chalk Creek, Stone
Creek, Rock Creek, unnamed tributaries to Gringer Branch, and unnamed tributaries to
the named streams. All of these streams are classified as "C; Tr" except for Rock Creek
which is classified as "WS-V".
There are numerous small wetlands located on the site. The majority of these wetlands
have been identified as wetland seeps and are contiguous with their associated channel.
These seeps are on moderate to steep slopes. Their substrate is rock and silt, and they
may or may not contain wetland vegetation. The other wetlands on site are the result of
human impacts, mostly from mining, that have become naturalized. The majority of
these wetlands are located around the proposed golf course area.
Proiect Description: The proposed project includes the development of a residential
community with 1189 single-family lots, an 18-hole golf course, and all associated
infrastructure within the 3472 acres of the Queen's Gap property. Impacts include 29
infrastructure road crossings, and 9 impacts related to the golf course. Mitigation for the
project will be done on site.
Proiect Puruose and Need
Purpose for Proposed Project: The basic project purpose of the proposed development at
Queens Gap is to develop a viable, upscale, residential community with a championship
golf course amenity in Rutherford County. The proposed project will feed the demand
for residential housing for the growing population of Rutherford County. All road
crossings are necessary to access lots (high ground) for development purposes. The
project benefits to the applicant and public are expected to last throughout the life of the
facility. Project impacts will be permanent.
The golf course is an integral part of the overall plan for Queens Gap. The decision for
the golf course was made based on the understanding that it would be a significant draw
of interest and investments to the development, and bring a significant increase in
property value to Queens Gap. The proposed golf course was designed by well-known
golfer and respected course designer, Jack Nicklaus.
According to the Golf Research Group, golf properties are three times as valuable as the
average U.S. home. Even among golf course communities, those labeled with top golf
course designer/architect names have significantly higher property values. A course
designed by one of the countries top designers is worth over 3.5 % more than one without
a listed course architect. Among these well-known labels, Jack Nicklaus is undisputedly,

the most valuable name. Homes in developments with a Jack Nicklaus course are worth
an average of $1.2 million, and have more than doubled in value over the last ten years.
The value of an entire Nicklaus development is the highest in the market.
The proposed Jack Nicklaus signature championship golf course at Queens Gap will
become a valuable amenity to Rutherford and McDowell Counties. There is a
tremendous demand for ownership of property within a championship golf course
community within North Carolina. There will be a strong draw for potential buyers who
are interested in a golf community, and the project will help bring a large addition to the
county tax base. The construction and maintenance of the development, as well as the
resulting consumer demand of Queens Gap will be a strong and healthy addition to the
local economy for years to come.
Avoidance and Minimization:
Avoidance: The area now known as Queens Gap started as a small tract and was pieced
together to meet its final size. The final location is the best, if not the only, property that
meets the needs of the planned development. Land acquired for Queens Gap needed to
connect to its original tracts, be suitable for residential development and an 18-hole
professional golf course, be in a location with scenic views of the Blue Ridge, and finally
reach a total size large enough to contain the full scope of plans for Queens Gap.
Within the 3472 acres of Queens Gap there were still major layout decisions to be made
including the location of the golf course. Many factors were looked at in finding a
location most suitable for a golf course. Impacts were avoided in its final placement due
to the avoidance of trout streams and a more gentle topography. The golf course is being
constructed on the portion of the property that does not contain any trout streams and has
gentle topography in order to avoid the necessity for excessive earthwork.
Minimization:
Roads and Lot Layout:
The initial layout of roads was designed to maximize lots and follow ideal and fluid
routes for travel within the development. The plan was then revised several times to
minimize stream and wetland impacts. Some of the practices used to reduce impacts
include using existing road corridors and existing crossings, shifting layouts upslope or
upstream, building roads above endpoints and out ridges, having roads end in cul-de-sacs
instead of reconnecting into loops, and removing lots from the layout in order to leave
streams and wetlands un-impacted. Below is a table that demonstrates the minimization
of channel impacts in linear feet, by using these practices.
The original road layout required 2,9701inear feet of stream impacts. This impact total
was minimized by 1,6101inear feet based on the minimization table below. An
additional 2001inear feet of stream impact was avoided and minimized by utilizing
existing logging road crossings.

Golf Course:
The residential golf course community option is the preferred alternative for Queens Gap.
The design team has continually worked to minimize impacts on site. The original golf
course design required over 3,500 linear feet of impacts and 0.81 acres of wetland fill
associated with construction. With the original design, the majority of the impacts were
associated with streams through the golf course corridor. The revised plan will require
only 8601inear feet of stream impacts for the course. Instead of piping, wherever
possible, streams will be incorporated into the golf course corridor as play-overs. Below
is a table showing the channel impacts in linear feet that were minimized by changes in
golf layout designs.

In summary the site plan at Queens Gap has been revised numerous times in order to
present the enclosed plan which is the minimal amount of stream impact necessary to
develop the property for its intended uses. The design team has reduced road
infrastructure and golf course impacts from 6,500 linear feet to 2,166. The proposed
impacts represent 2% of the total streams on the property.
Evaluation of 404(b)(1) Guidelines
Physical Substrate: Fill material will be placed in jurisdictional streams and wetlands.
Any discharge will consist of suitable fill material and will not include any trash, debris,
car bodies, asphalt, etc. The fill material will also be free of toxic pollutants in toxic
amounts. Proper sediment and erosion control devices will be installed prior to and
during construction to ensure that the bottom elevation of remaining streams and
wetlands on the property will not change.
Water Crculation, Fluctuation, and Salinity: The discharge of fill material associated
with this projectis not anticipated to have any significant effect on the downstream
hydrologic regimes. Upon completion of construction and the subsequent release of
water into the newly constructed channels, no inhibitors to flow will exist in these
segments allowing water to flow freely. 1,1601inear feet of stream channel will be
impacted due to road crossings. Culverts will be installed at road crossings. All culverts
will be buried to a depth that is equal to 20% of their diameter or 12" for pipes that are
larger than 48". Impacts associated with road crossings will not inhibit channel flow or
aquatic life movement.
Suspended Particulates/Turbidit~ During construction activities on the site, itis
anticipated that there will not be an increase in suspended particulates that could lead to
increased turbidity downstream. However, the increase is anticipated to be minimal and
temporary due to the installation and maintenance of proper sediment and erosion control
measures during construction and shortly thereafter. Newly constructed channels on site
will be constructed in the dry and water will be released once the channels have been
stabilized in place.
Contaminant Availability: Any discharge will consist of suitable fill material and will
not include any trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc. The fill material will also be free of
toxic pollutants in toxic amounts. Discharge associated with this site is not expected to
introduce or increase contaminants. It is expected that the majority of fill material will be
generated from cut and fill activities on the site.
Aquatic Ecosystems Effects: Effects to the aquatic ecosystem are expected to be
minimal. Ecosystem functions of stream segments posed for relocation will be relocated
with the stream channel. Relocated stream segments will be in as good or better
condition compared to the current location. Some of the new reaches will be providing
increase aquatic function in their new location.

Proposed Disposal Site: The proposed disposal site is the same location as the proposed
impact sites. There is no additional disposal site where fill material will be placed.
Cumulative and Secondary Effects: The Queens Gap project site is located within the
Broad River Basin. Seventy-four percent of the land in the basin is forested and about 22
percent is in managed pasture lands. Only 2 percent of the land falls into the urban/built-
up category. These percentages alone, limit significant cumulative effects on the
watershed. Past activities within the subbasin and the Queens Gap property include
logging, mining, agricultural and residential development, and road construction.
Logging and mining activities at Queens Gap have ceased but remain active in other
areas of the watershed. Agricultural and residential development, and road building in
the vicinity remains active; continued development is independent of activities proposed
at Queens Gap. Impacts at Queens Gap will include the installation of road crossings and
construction of a golf course. Road impacts are necessary for the development of the
site. Minimization activities have lessened impacts associated with road crossings and
their effects cumulatively on the watershed will be minimal. No activity at Queens Gap
will result in a major impairment of the water resources on site or interfere with the
productivity and water quality of the existing aquatic ecosystem.
Mitigation
Mitigation for Queens Gap will be done on site. The property owner proposes to mitigate
for the 2,116 feet of stream impact, 0.178 acre of wetland impact, and 0.221 acre of open
water impact with the attached stream enhancement plan. The plan includes 8,518 feet of
Level I and Level II enhancements that translate to 5,865 feet of stream credits. The
entire enhancement that is being submitted for mitigation includes a permanent 50-foot
buffer. That is an additional 20 feet of buffer above what is required, which over the
length of the proposed enhancement adds up to 9.92 acres of preserved green space. This
enhancement plan will stabilize stream banks, establish full riparian buffer zones with
native vegetation, and provide access to flood plains which will in turn restore hydrology
to adjacent wetlands. The buffer preservation is being presented as mitigation for the
wetland and open water impact.
Please see the attached Stream Enhancement/Restoration Plan for further detail of the
mitigation proposal.
Public Interest Review
Public Interest Factors:

- Conservation: The project site will be subject to mandatory buffers along selected
stream corridors. These buffers are based on the stream's NC Division of Water Quality
Surface Water Classification. Streams holding the "Tr" supplemental classification are
subject to a 25-foot undisturbed, woody buffer. These include Stone Creek, Old Bonet'
Creek, Morgan Creek, Chalk Creek, and their unnamed tributaries as well as unnamed
tributaries to Gringer Branch.
-Economics: The project will provide an overall benefit to the local economy of
Rutherford and McDowell Counties. During and after completion of construction of the
golf course, the site will provide job opportunities associated with the development and
maintenance of the course and associated residential development. In addition, having a
golf course as part of the development will increase the property values in the
development as well as in the local community. The project would also benefit the local
economy by providing additional tax revenues. The appropriate economic evaluations
have been completed and the project as proposed is economically viable.
-Aesthetics: Aesthetically, the golf course proposed at the Queens Gap development will
be no different from any other golf courses in outlying areas. Because of the nature of a
championship golf course, an aesthetically pleasing design is of utmost importance. The
project is not expected to diminish the aesthetic value of the area or cause disharmony
from an aerial or neighboring view.
- Wetlands: The majority of the wetlands on site have been identified as wetland seeps
and are contiguous with their associated channel. These seeps are on moderate to steep
slopes. Their substrate is rocky and they may or may not contain wetland vegetation.
The primary function of these wetlands is providing aquatic and terrestrial organisms
with suitable habitat. Because clean ground water welling out of side slopes provides the
primary hydrology for these systems, water quality maintenance is not their primary
ecological function. Other wetlands on site are man made impacts, mostly from mining,
that have become naturalized. Most of these types of wetlands are located around the
proposed golf course. Approximately 0.161 acres of wetlands will be affected by golf
course and residential development. The wetland systems on site are not part of a
complete and interrelated wetland area. These wetlands are dispersed throughout the site
and associated with adjacent channels. Wetlands and channels on site are interrelated.
- Historic and Cultural Resources: A desktop survey was conducted to determine the
presence or absence of archeological sites or sites with culturally significant resources
within the project boundary. WNR consulted the NC State Historic Preservation Office
website and conducted a file review of records maintained by the North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NHP). The survey involved a review of the Sugar Hill USGS Topo
Quad on which NHP identifies archeological sites or sites with cultural significance for
that locale. There are no records of any occurrence of archeological or culturally
significant sites within the parcel of land being considered for development. However,
there were two archeological sites identified within a two mile radius of the project area.
In general, the sites are located midway between Lump Mountain and Harris Mountain.
Contained in these sites is a mill, blacksmith shop, and stacked rock chimney. Both sites

are listed as historic, but unaccessed. Future development at Queens Gap will not
threaten or jeopardize the integrity of these sites.
- Fish and Wildlife Values: Riparian areas provide habitat for many types of wildlife
because of their diverse and productive plant communities, complex structure, and close
proximity to water. Wildlife may be permanent residents of the riparian area or
occasional visitors that use the area for food, water, or temporary shelter.
Food availability varies with the type of vegetation in the riparian area, but includes fruit,
seed, foliage, twigs, buds, insects, and other invertebrates. Trees and shrubs produce a
variety of foods that are eaten by many animals and maybe especially important sources
of nutrition during the winter months. Grasses and herbaceous vegetation provide seeds
and forage both within the riparian area and along the forest border.
The stream environment provides moving waters for many animals to drink, feed, swim,
and reproduce. Water is also available on the moist vegetation and in wetlands that are
often associated with riparian areas. These areas, both permanent and temporary, are
especially important for amphibians and macro-invertebrates.
Riparian areas provide a sheltered environment for many species of animals to feed, rest,
and reproduce. Animals use these areas to seek shelter from extreme weather and to
escape predators and human activity. Riparian areas may also provide important travel
corridors for some species, and are frequently used as stop-over points for migratory
birds. None of the riparian areas will be impaired by the proposed project.
- Flood Hazards: A small portion of the extreme northern section of the property is
located within the floodplain of the Broad River. Overall, the proposed location of the
residential community and golf course has a minimal risk of flooding. It is expected that
all tributaries on the property will flood occasional due to natural fluctuations in weather
patterns that increase precipitation. The activities taking place within the Queens Gap
project boundary are not expected to increase or decrease the natural rate of flooding at
the site or downstream.
- Floodplain Values: Minimal development will occur within a 100-year floodplain.
Flood stages and frequencies should not increase or decrease as a result of the activities
taking place within the Queens Gap project boundary.
- Land Use: The proposed project will be in compliance with local zoning regulations
and ordinances. The project is consistent with surrounding land use and development.
- Navigation: All tributaries on site are tributaries to the Broad River. The Broad River
continues to flow through South Carolina and drains to the Atlantic Ocean via the
Congaree and Santee Rivers. The Broad River is a navigable water at the SC 18 Bridge
just west of Blacksburg, SC, so no activities proposed at Queens Gap are anticipated to
affect navigation.

-Shore Erosion and Accretion: Not applicable.
- Recreation: Proposed activities within the Queens Gap boundary will not increase or
decrease waterborne recreation in the project vicinity. However, it will increase
terrestrial-borne recreation by providing a facility for golfers.
- Water Supply: The public water supply will not increase or decrease due to proposed
activities within the Queens Gap project boundary. Potable water will be supplied by
single-family wells at each building site or a community water system sourced by
underground wells. Irrigation water for the golf course will also be taken from
underground wells or off-line ponds.
- Water Quality: Queens Gap will be concurrently applying for a NC Division of Water
Quality Water Quality Certification.
-Energy Needs: Activities taking place within the Queens Gap project boundary, during
construction and at full operation, are not expected to significantly increase energy
demands beyond the capacity of the local facility. Energy will not be produced as a
result of the proposed activities within the Queens Gap boundary.
-Safety: The project proposed at Queens Gap will not decrease or increase public safety.
-Food and Fiber Production: The proposed activities within the Queens Gap project
boundary will not increase or decrease food and fiber production.
- Consideration of Property Ownership: Queens Gap Mountain, LLC owns the property
proposed for development and has the inherent right to develop the land in a reasonable
and responsible manner, which includes adhering to all Federal, State, and local
regulations.
Need for Proposed Project: The proposed project is needed to provide residential
housing to the growing population of Rutherford County. The project will also benefit
the general public by providing additional state and local tax base and will also provide
additional jobs through construction and long-term maintenance of the development.
Permanence of Effect: The project benefits to the applicant and public are expected to
last throughout the life of the development. Project impacts will be permanent.
Threatened or Endangered Species: An endangered and threatened species inventory of
the tract known as Queens Gap was conducted pursuant to Nationwide Permit General
Condition ll which states, "No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species
proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act
(ESA), or which will destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. "
Prior to the endangered and threatened species evaluation of Queens Gap, WNR
consulted the US Fish and Wildlife Department website and conducted a file review of

records maintained by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP). The initial
survey involved a review of the Sugar Hill USGS Topo Quad on which NHP identifies
current and historic occurrences of listed species for that locale. There are no current or
historic records of any occurrence of federally endangered or threatened species within
the parcel of land being considered for development. There are federally endangered and
threatened species found elsewhere within the Sugar Hill Quad and within a two mile
radius of the project area. Our search of the Sugar Hill USGS Topo Quad produced the
following list of federally endangered or threaten species within the project vicinity:
Ma'or Grou Scientific Name Common Name Federal Status
Vascular Plant Sisyrinchium
dichotomun White h7sette E -Current
White h7sette is a perennial herb that grows in branching pairs to a height of 4-8 inches.
Leaves at the base of the plant are pale to bluish-green and grow to 1/3 to 1/2 the height
of the plant. Tiny white flowers form from late May into June in clusters of 4-6 at the
tops of winged stems. Flowers produce small tan to black fruit that contain 3-6 small
black seeds.
Habitat
White h7sette is commonly found in clearings, at the edges of upland woods with a thin
canopy, and in road or powerline right-of-ways. White h7sette prefers partial shade to
direct sun and rich, well-drained, basic soils weathered from amphibolite. It may also
grow on sites where run-off has removed much of the deep litter layer ordinarily present
on these sites.
Presence or Absence Determination
Queens Gap is largely undeveloped, with the exception of some unimproved roadways.
There are no maintained right-of-ways on the property, and clearings are comprised
mainly of smooth, exposed rock with little to no soil. The majority of the site is thick
woods with a dense canopy. Due to lack of habitat and specific habitat conditions, the
probability that White Irisette occurs on property is low.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

Qualitative Analysis of Cumulative Impacts
For
Queens Gap
Devin McCarthy Land Development, LLC
Rutherford County, North Carolina
November 1, 2007
Prepared by:
WNR
Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants

Introduction
Current regulations applicable to the issuance of 401 Water Quality Certifications require that the Division
of Water Quality confirms that the project it is evaluating "does not result in cumulative impacts, based
upon past or reasonably anticipated future impacts, which cause or will cause a violation of downstream
water quality standards''.
DWQ currently utilizes the following documentation to implement its regulatory obligation to evaluate
cumulative impacts: "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative Impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification
and Isolated Wetland Program. NC Division of Water Quality, October 3, 2002, Version 1.6". DWQ's
policy provides for three levels of cumulative impact analysis. Most small scale projects where little
impervious surface is added and where the project is situated in an already developed locale will only
require a "Generic Description" of the project's possible cumulative impacts. A "Qualitative Analysis" is
required for projects of somewhat more impact that are located near existing roads and development. A
"Quantitative Analysis" is required where a project is significant and is likely to have a growth stimulating
effect.
DWQ's policy provides that it is applicable to private development projects, although it recognizes that
"many private development projects are unlikely to cause cumulative impacts". DWQ recognizes that
private development projects most commonly have cumulative impacts when they are "1}relatively large,
2) involve commercial development, and 3} occur in otherwise relatively undeveloped landscapes with an
impact on regional growth patterns".
For the Queens Gap development, WNR staff has determined that a qualitative analysis of the potential
cumulative impacts of the project in terms of its effects on downstream water quality would be appropriate
To determine potential cumulative impacts, this project was reviewed for any growth stimulating effects
and their downstream impacts on water quality. As described in greater detail below, the applicant does not
believe that the project will result in cumulative impacts that cause or will cause a violation of downstream
water quality standards because it is not likely to be growth simulative due to its size, its nature, and the
fact that it will be constructed in an otherwise relatively developed local landscape.
Project Description, Location, and Existing Site Conditions
Devin McCarthy Land Development, LLC is proposing the construction of 29 infrastructure road crossings
and the development of a residential subdivision and an 18-hole golf course on the 3472-acre tract known
as Queens Gap. The site plan consists of a residential development with 1189 single-family lots ranging in
size from 1 to 14 acres and many acres of common open space. The project site, known as Queens Gap, is
located in Rutherford County and McDowell County, North Carolina; 35.312933 N 82.031179 W. To
access the site from Asheville, take I-40 East to Exit 85 -Highway 221. Turn right at the top of the exit
ramp and continue on Highway 221 South for approximately 9 miles. Turn right onto Thermal City Road.
Continue on Thermal City Road approximately 1 mile to a "fork". Take the right "fork" and continue on
Thermal City Road until its intersection with Painter's Gap Road. Turn right onto Painter's Gap Road.
The entrance to the property will be on the right.
Queens Gap is forested for the greater portion of the property. There is an extensive logging road network
throughout the site. The Mixed Mesic Forest type dominates the landscape. This forest type occupies rich,
acidic, moist, well-drained sites and contains the most diverse plant communities in the Southeast. The
dominant tree species are American beech {Fagus grandifotia) and oaks, specifically northern red oak
(Quercus rubra) and white oak {Quercus atba}. Other tree species that are abundantly common in these
forests include: ash, hickory, red maple, tulip poplar, hemlock, and buckeye. All are present within
Queens Gap. This forest type also has a very diverse shrub and herbaceous layer. Species at this site
include heart's-a-bustin', mountain laurel, pepperbush, ironwood, rhododendron, spice bush, wild
hydrangea, black cohosh, bloodroot, doll's eye, false soloman's seal, galax, jewelweed, mayapple,
Christmas fern, liverleaf, and alumroot.

Tributaries on site include Lewis Creek and unnamed tributaries, Harris Creek and unnamed tributaries,
Rock Creek and unnamed tributaries, Old Boney Creek and unnamed tributaries, Morgan Creek and
unnamed tributaries. All of the tributaries within the Queen's Gap project boundary are tributaries to the
Broad River Basin.
Lewis Creek, Harris Creek, and Rock Creek make up the majority of the hydrologic systems on site. They
are classified as "WS-V, ", "WS-V", and "WS-V", respectively. The other tributaries on site, Old Boney
Creek, Morgan Creek ,Cobb Branch, Chalk Creek, Stoney Creek, Gringer Branch, and Stone Creek are
classified as "C; Tr", "C; Tr", "WS-V", "C; Tr", "WS-V", "C; Tr", and "C; Tr" respectively.
There are several wetlands located on the site. The majority of these wetlands have been identified as
wetland seeps and are contiguous with their associated channel. These seeps are on moderate to steep
slopes. Their substrate is rock silt, and they may or may not contain wetland vegetation.
Elevations on the property range from approximately 1,080 feet to 2,520 feet at the summit of Rich
Mountain.
Project Area Description
The project is located near Rutherfordton and Thermal City. Rutherfordton is a small, progressive town in
Rutherford County with a population of approximately 4,131. Downtown Rutherfordton contains a Main
Street area, which has many restaurants and shops. Outdoor recreational opportunities in the surrounding
region include hiking, backpacking and trout fishing. Thermal City is a very small town that enjoys
somewhat warmer temperatures than the surrounding region, hence it's namesake. Thermal City is also
home to a functioning recreational gold mine. This area's existing population along with the growing
seasonal population has instigated commercial and residential development in the area. The Towns of
Rutherfordton and Thermal City are self-sufficient municipalities containing all necessary amenities to live,
work, and play.
Watershed Description (information provided by the 2003 Broad River Basinwide Water Quality Plan)
The four major tributaries to the Broad River in North Carolina are the Green River, Second Broad River,
First Broad River, and North Pacolet. There are four man-made lakes in the basin sampled by DWQ: Lake
Lure, Lake Summit, Lake Adger, and Moss Lake (Kings Mountain Reservoir). Several areas in the basin
are classified for water supply use, and approximately 30 percent of the streams are supplementally
classified as trout waters.
The Broad River basin is home to 15 rare aquatic and wetland-dwelling animal and plant species. Two
aquatic animals that are listed as threatened by the State of North Carolina are the bog turtle and the mussel
creeper. The Green Salamander is also listed by the state as endangered. The basin includes a considerable
portion of the South Mountains--a biographically rich area that is considered of national importance for its
ecological assemblage.
Project Induced Growth
The project is not likely to induce adjacent development primarily because there are no services, utilities, or
roads being constructed by Devin McCarthy Land Development, LLC that will be available to adjacent
landowners or the general public. Any induced commercial growth will be accommodated by
Rutherfordton and Thermal City; there is no commercial development directly associated with site
development.
The members of this new community are likely to shop and dine at the local restaurants and retail stores in
the Rutherfordton area. However, because these residents are likely to be seasonal, it is not likely to create
a demand for additional retail or commercial ventures. The majority of the members at Queens Gap will be
baby-boomers who do not have school aged children. Therefore, no schools or other related supporting

development will occur due to development at Queens Gap. The following table lists essential goods and
services and their distance From Queens Gap:
Goods and Services Distance from Queens Ga {miles)

Gas/Service Station 4
Grocery 7
Hardware 3
Medical Care 2
Post Office 5
School 2
Summary
Devin McCarthy Land Development, LLC proposes to develop this project in accordance with likely
conditions in the 4Q1 Water Quality Certification and the 4Q4 Permit authorizations. The purpose of
implementing these guidelines is to protect the downstream water quality in the area of the project. Other
development that occurs in the same watershed will likely be restricted to similar conditions providing
protection to surface waters. Because of the projects close proximity to Rutherfordton, the applicant does
not believe that any potential effects on growth will occur due to the development of Queens Gap.

STORMWATER TREATMENTS

Potential Stormwater Management BMPs
Introduction
As land is developed, the impervious surfaces that are created increase the amount of runoff
during rainfall events, disrupting the natural hydrologic cycle. Without Stormwater controls, the
increased runoff can erode stream channels, increase pollutant loads, cause downstream flooding,
and prevent groundwater recharge. The increased runoff can degrade water quality in all types
of waters. Protecting these waters is vital for a number of reasons, including the protection of
fish and wildlife habitat, human health, recreation, and drinking water supplies.
Goals
The goals of managing Stormwater at Queens Gap are as follows:
- Safely convey Stormwater away from structures and paved surfaces;
- Protect streams on site from increased erosion and eliminate excessive erosion of the
stream channels;
- Protect the streams' water quality by eliminating pollutants and sediments;
- Protect valuable stream habitat; and
- Maintain existing groundwater levels.
Obiectives
The objectives by which the above Stormwater management goals will be met are as follows:
- Infiltrate as much Stormwater runoff as possible into the ground;
- Remove pollutants from Stormwater runoff prior to infiltration or discharge;
- Stabilize all necessary Stormwater outfalls;
- Moderate peak runoff flow and volume to minimize downstream erosion and damage to
aquatic life; and
- Infiltrate rainfall to replenish the water table and provide stable base flow to streams.
This document illustrates a collection of measures and techniques that will potentially be
implemented into various development situations at Queens Gap. In addition to a schematic
detail drawing of each measure, descriptions, typical uses, and design considerations are
identified. The schematic drawings will aid the designers in further developing the details to
adjust to the unique conditions of the site. Implementation of a Stormwater plan will greatly
reduce cumulative impacts associated with Stormwater runoff and provide protection to the water
resources at Queens Gap.

Stormwater Management Plan and Treatment Strategies
Queens Gap will be a diverse development consisting of large green areas for a golf course, large
single family residential areas, and pockets of high-density residential development. Specific
stormwater strategies will be implemented to address the diverse development challenges and
achieve the stormwater management goals and objectives.
Queens Gap is located off Painters Gap Rd. near Thermal City, in Rutherford County, North
Carolina. The project is located on rolling and mountainous terrain with numerous existing
streams, creeks, and tributaries located on site. Surface waters on site include Harris Creek and
unnamed tributaries, Lewis Creek and unnamed tributaries, Rock Creek and unnamed tributaries,
C71d Boney Creek and unnamed tributaries, and Morgan Creek and unnamed tributaries. All of
the tributaries within the Queens Gap project boundary flow to the Broad River. Watershed
classifications of each of the tributaries are summarized in the following table.

Supplemental Stormwater BMP Requirement
Classification
Waters protected for secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic life propagation
and survival, agriculture and other uses suitable for Class C. Secondary recreation includes
C wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such
activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. There are no
restrictions on watershed development or types of discharges.
Waters protected as water supplies that are generally upstream and draining to Class WS-IV
WS V waters. WS-V waters can also be waters used by industry to supply their employees with
drinking water or as waters formerly used as water supply. These waters are also protected
for Class C uses.
Supplemental classification intended to protect freshwaters for natural trout propagation and
survival of stocked trout. This designation affects wastewater quality but not the type of
Tr discharges and there are no watershed development restrictions except stream buffer zone
requirements of NC Division of Land Resources. DWQ's classification is not the same as
the NC Wildlife Resources Commission's Designated Public Mounta%~r Ti•oatt 1•I~aters
classification.

The preferred stormwater management approach is to preserve the natural storage, infiltration,
and pollutant-treatment functions of each drainage area where practical, and where not practical
to construct BMPs that mimic those natural functions as closely as possible. A stormwater
management plan will be employed in order to protect existing watersheds on site against
degradation caused by excessive erosion, pollutant loads, velocity, and flow rates. In addition,
the stormwater management strategy will also be used to isolate golf course areas that will be
used secondarily for land application. The stormwater management plan will consist of efficient
means to collect and convey stormwater to structural BMPs on the site where specific treatment
goals will be met. Excess runoff will be conveyed safely away from the site at flow rates that
will eliminate flooding and reduce the erosive capability of the runoff from a typical storm event.
Collection and Conveyance
Stormwater at Queens Gap will be collected using swales and ditches for conveyance to the
appropriate BMP or outfall. All swales and ditches will be properly lined to prevent erosive flow
and reduce sediment transport on the site.
Stormwater Treatment
The specific goal of stormwater BMPs at Queens Gap is to the maximum extent possible treat
the "first flush" runoff where the majority of pollutants will be carried. To achieve this goal,
stormwater BMPs will be capable of handling the first flush volume of runoff generated on site.
Stormwater treatment on the site will be managed by implementing the philospophies of low-
impact development and traditional BMP treatment.
Low-impact development strategies are intended to protect the natural hydrology of the site by
creating a hydrologically functional landscape. Specific strategies relevant to low-impact
development include minimizing land clearing, minimizing use of impervious surfaces,
maximizing runoff infiltration and matching the natural hydrology to the maximum extent
possible. On residential portions of the project, rain gardens, pervious pavement and infiltration-
inducing BMPs may be used to reduce the amount of stormwater leaving the site.
For areas where low-impact development is not practical, conventional stormwater BMPs will be
used. Conventional BMPs will also be designed to control the first flush runoff from the
contributing drainage areas. These BMPs include but are not limited to infiltration basins,
constructed wetlands, sand filters, and grassed swales. Bypass systems and spillways will be
used in order to divert excess runoff from the site.
Stormwater Outfalls
Where stormwater is released from the site, specific measures will be employed in order to
prevent high flow rates and erosive flows from entering existing streams, creeks, and tributaries
on site. Level spreaders will be used to distribute high flows over larger cross sections to reduce
velocities. Filter strips will be used in conjunction with level spreaders to remove pollutants and
sediment from excess flow. Riparian buffers will be utilized neighboring existing waterways to
provide natural means of filtering stormwater prior to discharge.

Description
Bioretention areas are landscaped depressions heavily planted with native vegetation designed to
pond stormwater. Pollutants are removed from the stormwater by filtering, settling, and
biological processes occurring at the root systems of native herbaceous vegetation. Bioretention
encourages infiltration of stormwater and increases the time of concentration of stormwater on
Slte.
Typical Use
Bioretention areas are commonly used within parking lot islands and areas adjacent to other
paved surfaces including buildings with large roof surface areas.
Design Considerations
- Maximization of water-to-vegetation contact and minimization of evapotranspiration of
ponded water.
- Pond depth will not exceed 10 inches.
- Soil will not be compacted and construction traffic will not be allowed within the
bioretention area.
- During construction, sedimentation will not occur within the bioretention area.
- The size of the depression will be based on the associated drainage area.
- Native vegetation will be planted within the depression and on the side slopes.
- Overflow will be directed to another infiltration system or other stable outfall.
- All bioretention areas will have an overflow strategy.
- ]3ioretention areas will not be located where the seasonal high water table will be
exposed.

Description
Infiltration basins are landscaped depressions planted with native vegetation and designed to
pond stormwater and direct it into astone-filled layer below (infiltration medium). The voids of
the infiltration medium provide additional storage space while the stormwater slowly infiltrates
into the native soil. Pollutants are removed from the stormwater by filtering, settling, and
biological processes occurring at the root systems of native herbaceous vegetation and within the
soil through which the water passes. Infiltration basins reduce runoff by infiltrating stormwater
into underlying soil.
Tvnical Use
Infiltration basins are commonlyused adjacent to parking lots and areas adjacent to other paved
surfaces including buildings with large roof surface areas. They usually occur at the terminus of
vegetated swales.
Design Considerations
- Maximization of water-to-vegetation contact and minimization of evapotranspiration of
ponded water.
- Pond depth will allow for a complete draw-down within two to three days following a
rain event.
- Soil will not be compacted and construction traffic will not be allowed within the
infiltration medium area.
- During construction, sedimentation will not occur within the infiltration medium area.
- The size of the basin and the amount of infiltration medium will be based on the
associated drainage area.
- Overflow will be directed to a stable outfall.
- Infiltration basins will not be located where the seasonal high water table will be
exposed.

Grassed Swale
L
Description
Grassed swales are shallow, sloped swales planted with native herbaceous vegetation used to
treat runoff from adjacent impervious surfaces by filtering out sediments and other
pollutants, increasing the time of concentration of site runoff, and providing some infiltration
by slowing runoff velocities and providing space for ponding. Grassed swales provide
excellent pre-treatment of runoff prior to it entering an infiltration measure.
Tvnical Use
Grassed swales are typically used adjacent to roads, parking lots, other paved surfaces, and
adjacent to buildings with large roof surface areas.
Design Considerations
- Maintenance of longitudinal slopes between 1% and 3%to achieve desired filtering
capacity.
- The swale bottom will be maximized to achieve greatest water-to-vegetation contact
while not exceeding 6 inches in width.
- Maximum flow velocities will be analyzed to determine whether or not additional surface
protection is needed along the wetted perimeter of the swale.
- Vegetative plugs will provide the most rapid and desired cover; and will be utilized when
necessary.

Description
Sand filters remove pollutants from stormwater in order to protect water quality while
providing the option for infiltration. They consist of a pretreatment component to settle and
filter out larger particulates and a sand layer through which the stormwater passes. As the
runoff passes through the sand, the smaller particles are filtered out. Microorganisms inhabit
the sand layer, as well, and break down organic and hydrocarbon pollutants.
Tvnical Uses
Sand filters are typically used adjacent to parking lots, maintenance facilities, plant nurseries,
and other surfaces that yield polluted stormwater runoff.
Design Considerations
- The bottom of the sand layer will be at least two feet above the seasonal high water table.
- Sand filters will be used within relatively small drainage areas (less than 5 acres).
- The design team will verify that the hydraulic head is adequate for flow through the filter.
- The pretreatment measure will hold approximately 25% of the water quality treatment
volume.
- The pretreatment and treatment components will hold 75% of the water quality treatment
volume.
- Surface conditions above the filter will be designed so the sand layer can be excavated
for maintenance, if necessary.

Stormwater Wetland
1
Description
Stormwater wetlands are constructed systems with shallow pools and wetland vegetation that
mimic the functions of a natural wetland system and use physical, chemical, and biological
processes to filter out stormwater pollutants.
Tvnical Uses
Stormwater wetlands are typicallyused adjacent to parking lots and in other areas that yield
polluted stormwater.
Design Considerations
- Maintenance of the permanent pool will be critical to vegetation survival.
- Maintenance of the permanent pool can occur through intersection of the groundwater
table, reductions in evapotranspiration through shading, and capture and storage of
adequate drainage area.
- Sub-grade soil conditions will be modified to ensure adequate water retention.
- Stormwater wetlands will be combined with other infiltration measures when possible.

Description
Riparian areas are transitional areas between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and are
distinguished by their biological, physical, and ecological condition. Vegetation within these
buffers function as filters to remove pollutants from overland stormwater flow and shallow
groundwater flow prior to discharge to receiving waters.
Twical Uses
Riparian buffers are typically used along streams in areas where the developer is interested in
preserving the aesthetic value of the land and providing a place for patrons to passively recreate.
Design Considerations
- The size of the riparian buffer will take into account all runoff at ultimate build-out
including off-site drainage.
- An individual buffer will not receive more than 1 ac/in of runoff.
- The total minimum width of the buffer will be 30 feet and divided into two zones.
- The buffer will be at least 13 feet in length.

Description
A filter strip is a section of land capable of sustaining sheet flow, either forested or vegetated
with turf grasses or other plants, which provides pollutant removal as the stormwater passes
through it.
Typical Uses
Filter strips may be used to treat runoff from highways, roofs, parking areas, and in
general, between upgradient development and receiving waters, frequently in
residential areas or where the development density is low. Filter strips can also be used
as pretreatment for infiltration BMPs such as bioretention and infiltration trenches. They
are also part of the outer zone of riparian stream buffers.
Design Considerations
- Filter strips perform well in all areas of North Carolina where dense, vegetative growth
can be established.
- Slopes must be in the appropriate range: less than 5 percent slope is preferable; in no
cases, may slope exceed 15 percent.
- To achieve the benefits of reduced runoff rates, pollutant removal, and increased
infiltration, it is essential that the flow be transitioned to sheet flow through the use of a
level spreader.
- For vegetation characterized as grass or thick ground cover: 13 feet of length per 1 cfs of
flow on slopes 0-8%. For vegetation characterized as forested: 65 feet of length per 1 cfs
of flow for slopes from 0-6%. If the forest vegetation is 100-150 feet in width, then the
length can be reduced to 50 feet of filter strip per 1 cfs of flow. If the forest vegetation is
more than 150 feet in width, then the length can be reduced to 40 feet of filter strip per 1
cfs of flow.

MAP INFORMATIt?N
Original soil survey map sheets were prepared at publication scale.
Viewing scale and printing scale, however, may vary from the
original. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for proper
map measurements.

This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of
the version date{s) listed below.

Survey Area Data: Version 11, Jan 22, 2007
Your area of interest {AOI) includes more than one soil survey area.
These survey areas may have been mapped at different scales, with
a different land use in mind, at different times, or at different levels
of detail. This may result in map unit symbols, soil properties, and
interpretations that do not completely agree across soil survey area
boundaries.
Date{s} aerial images were photographed: 1993; 3/911993;
4/211998
The orthophata or other base map an which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting
of map unit boundaries maybe evident.
