Re: Lap Road Extension Project
Hunsucker Farms, LLC and Lap Road Farms, LLC
Convoer, Catawba County, North Carolina
Mr. Elliott:
This package is being submitted on behalf of Hunsucker Farms, LLC and Lap Road Farms, LLC. With this submittal,
we are seeking permit verification under Nationwide 14 Permit for the Lap Road Extension Project. The proposed
road will extend the existing Lap Road to Hwy 16, and will provide access from Rock Barn Road to Hwy 16 North.
The project will involve the installation of less than 150 linear feet of multiple box culverts with headwalls at each
end at a crossing of Mahaffie Branch. Additionally, less than 1/10 acre of low quality wetlands will be filled at a
separate location.
Included in this package are resource maps, conceptual drawings and impact location maps of the proposed
project area. Please contact me if you have any questions, comments, or if you would like to conduct a site visit.
Respectfully submitted,
Tamp Bandy

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Alternative alignments, including a parallel alignment with the existing 1-40 for Exit Ramp 132, which would have involved an additional perennial
stream crossing and wetland impacts was abandoned in order to reduce total project impacts to less than 150 If of stream and less than 1/10 acre of
wetland
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Multiple box culverts will be utilized with a single box containing substrate and conveying base flows similar to the DOT ramp crossing up stream.
This design will allow for uninhibited aquatic life passage and contiguous substrate habitat, and reduce/eliminate outlet armoring requirements.
Headwalls / retaining walls will be utilized to minimize stream impact length.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain a_ n approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33,
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon -as is practicable.
3

This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
