RE: 401 Water Quality Certification Application; Fayetteville Commercial Development
Cumberland County, NC
Dear Jennifer:
Enclosed is a 401 WQC application for your review. This application is submitted on behalf of CRP -
Fayetteville Ramsey, LLC for the construction of a commercial/retail center in Fayetteville, NC that will
contain approximately 113,000 square feet of commercial/retail space to include a grocery store, additional
retail space, and a gas station. Total proposed impacts are to 622 LF of intermittent stream and 0.01 acre of
404 wetlands. The project area is located within the Cape Fear River Basin and is 19.7 acres in size. Even
though stream impacts exceed 300 LF, it is our understanding that the USACE will process this application
request as a Nationwide Permit because of the low quality of the majority of the channel to be impacted. To
mitigate for impacts to the high quality stream (158 LF) and for the small amount of wetland impacts (0.01
ac), the applicant proposes purchasing stream credits from the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services
at a 2:1 mitigation to impact ratio (316 LF of stream credit).
The PCN form, project narrative, associated maps, and site plan are enclosed for your review. The
DWR application fee of $570 is also enclosed. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for
your assistance with this project.
Sincerely,
K m Williams

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts were minimized as much as possible through careful site design However, the intermittent stream channel runs up
through the middle of the property and then parallels Ramsey Street. It was impossible to develop this tract without impacting
a large amount of this channel. This channel receives a great deal of stormwater from adjacent areas and is heavily incised
and undercut. The USACE evaluated the channel using their Stream Assessment Methodology (SAM) and found that the
majority of the channel to be impacted is low quality. The engineer has curved the roadway that connects into Shawcroft to
allow for additional queuing as warranted within the TIA and the stacking lengths for this signal. The wetland impact is needed
for grading down to the larger wetland area on the site. This would help avoid a retaining wall within this section as well as
maintain the area needed for stormwater retention.
lb Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Silt fencing will be used during construction to reduce sediment from eroding into adjacent wetlands and streams

5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program GIS layer was used to determine the presence of federally -listed species. Two current
occurrences (observed within the last twenty years) of rare species have been documented within a one mile radius of the
site The Southern chorus frog (Pseudacris nignta, State -listed SR) was last observed in 1995. The red -cockaded woodpecker
(Picoides borealis, Federally and State -listed E) was last observed in 2009. This RCW population is located approximately one
mile northwest of the site. There are also two historical occurrences of the red -cockaded woodpecker located approximately
0 5 mile northwest of the site No RCWs or RCW cavities were observed within the project area The site is mostly forested
and contains a mixed canopy of loblolly pines and hardwoods Although it is a walkable site, the understory and shrub layer
may be too dense for the RCW. Additionally, the site is surrounded by development and is likely too small and fragmented to
provide appropriate habitat for this species There is a great deal of development between the project area and the known
RCW cluster and it is unlikely that RCWs would travel to a noncontiguous area a mile away to reach this site.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
❑ Yes ® No
6b What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?

Habitat The project area is not considered EFH or HAPC for any species
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e g , National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS mapping resource was used to determine the presence of
cultural or historic resources No cultural or historical resources were noted within the site.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA -designated 100 -year floodplain?
❑ Yes ® No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
8c What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? The NC Floodplain Mapping Information System
website was used to determine the boundaries of the 100 -year floodplain.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
May 2016
Fayetteville Commercial Development
CRP — Fayetteville Ramsey, LLC
Cumberland County, NC
INTRODUCTION
CRP -Fayetteville Ramsey, LLC proposes to develop a commercial/retail center off of Ramsey
Street in Fayetteville, NC that will contain approximately 113,000 square feet of commercial/retail
space and a gas station. Total proposed impacts are to 622 LF of intermittent stream and 0.01 acre of
404 wetlands. The project area is located within the Cape Fear River Basin and is 19.7 acres in size.
Even though stream impacts exceed 300 LF, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has agreed to
process this application request as a Nationwide Permit because of the low quality of the majority of
the channel to be impacted.
PURPOSE & NEED
The applicant's purpose and need for the project is to develop an economically viable regional
shopping destination located off of Ramsey Street in the northern part of Fayetteville, NC
(Cumberland County). The project will accommodate a grocery store, a gas station, and several
smaller retail shops. The project area is surrounded by residential development and a retail shopping
center of this nature is greatly needed.
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The 19.7 -acre project area is located off of Ramsey Street in Fayetteville, NC (Cumberland
County) (Figures 1 & 2). The project area consists of eight (8) separate parcels. According to the
Cumberland County Generalized Soil Survey, uplands within the site are classified as Gilead loamy
sand, Blaney loamy sand, and Vauduse loamy sand. (Figure 3). Wetlands within the site are shown as
Johnston loam.
Most of the project area is currently undeveloped and forested. However, there are a few
structures present. A home sales center is located at the corner of Shawcroft Road and Ramsey Street
1
I
and several residential homes are located off of Ramsey Street. A site delineation of jurisdictional
areas was performed by ECS, Inc. and was approved by Mr. Brennan Dooley of the USACE in the field
on in October of 2015. Both Mr. Dooley and Mr. Chad Turlington of the NC Division of Water
Resources determined the limits of perennial and intermittent streams within the site. The site
contains one perennial stream near the northwestern project boundary. Three intermittent channels
extend off of the perennial stream. Additionally, 3.66 acre of wetlands exists adjacent to the
perennial stream. The 404 wetlands support a canopy of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) with water oak
(Quercus nigra) in the understory and shrub layer and switch cane (Arundinaria tecta) and catbrier
(Smilax spp.) in the herbaceous layer. Forested uplands support a canopy of loblolly pine, with sparse
understory and shrub layers of turkey oak (Q. laevis), water oak, and black jack oak (Q. marilandica).
Many of the pine trees have a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 12" to 20". Except for the
stream/wetland finger that runs through the northwestern part of the site, the project area is
surrounded by development. Single-family and multi -family neighborhoods surround the site, with
some retail shops and churches also located along Ramsey Street in this area. Highway NC 295 was
recently constructed less than 0.5 mile to the north of the site.
According to the topographic quadrangle for this area, the perennial stream located within
the northwestern portion of the site is McPherson Creek (Wooded Lake). This creek flows northeast
under Ramsey Street, connects into Carver's Creek, which then flows into the Cape Fear River.
McPherson Creek is classified by the NC Division of Water Resources as WS -IV, B. Class B waters are
protected for uses such as fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation,
survival and maintenance of biological integrity, agriculture as well as both primary and secondary
forms of recreation. Primary recreational activities include swimming, skin diving, water skiing, and
similar uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an organized
manner or on a frequent basis. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses
involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent,
unorganized, or incidental manner. Water Supply IV (WS -IV) is given to waters used as sources of
water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS -I, II or III classification is
not feasible. WS -IV waters are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds or Protected
Areas.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This site plan consists of constructing a total of 113,000 sf of leasable space including a
grocery store, gas station, and several smaller retail shops (Figure 5). The proposed layout offers the
least amount of impact while still maintaining the required access configuration and enough gross
leasable area (GLA) to render the project economically viable. The applicant has designed the site to
contain between 4 and 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of building, which is a typical required
minimum on retail developments of this size. The stormwater BMPS will be located in the northern
and western parts of the site, adjacent to the wetland and stream system.
Impacts were minimized as much as possible through careful site design. However, one of the
intermittent stream channels on site runs up through the middle of the property and then parallels
Ramsey Street. It was impossible to develop this tract without impacting a large amount of this
channel. The placement of the roadway that connects into Shawcroft Road was dictated by the need
for additional queuing as warranted within the TIA and the stacking lengths for the signal at
Shawcroft Road and Ramsey Street. The proposed wetland impact is needed for grading down to the
larger wetland area on the site. This will help avoid a retaining wall within this section as well as
maintain the area needed for stormwater retention.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Direct Impacts
The proposed project would permanently impact 622 LF of intermittent stream and 0.01 acre
of 404 wetlands (Figure 5). Using the Stream Assessment Methodology, the USACE determined that
464 LF of the channel to be impacted is classified as Low Quality and 158 LF of the channel is
classified as High Quality.
Indirect Impacts
Indirect impacts to wetlands and water quality will be minimized by the development and
implementation of a Stormwater Plan and a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. These plans will
reduce the potential for erosion or runoff into wetlands and other water bodies located off site.

Resources Affected
Tyler Crumbley and Emily Greer of the USACE evaluated the channel to be impacted utilizing
their Stream Assessment Methodology (SAM) protocol. The channel was divided into two assessment
reaches: Reach 1, which extended from the culvert under Ramsey Street to Survey flag SC10 (464 LF),
and Reach 2, which extended from Survey flag SC 10 down to the channel's confluence with the main
stem of McPherson Creek (245 LF).
Reach 1 was found to have an overall Low rating. The hydrology, water quality, and habitat
ratings were low, due to the large amount of stormwater run-off that the channel receives from
surrounding areas. This large amount of flow is causing the channel to become deeply incised (15+ ft
deep in sections). The bottom of the channel has been cut down to the groundwater. Additionally,
because of the high velocity of water moving through the channel, there is little aquatic in -stream
habitat available. Reach 1 did have a wooded buffer on both sides of the channel, so it rated high for
stream -side habitat.
Reach 2 had an overall High rating. Hydrology and habitat rated high, while water quality
rated medium. This reach is farther removed from source point of the stormwater, so it is less incised
than Reach 1. Evidence of sediment sorting was observed. Geomorphology, such as riffles and pools,
was observed and it was found to provide habitat for some aquatic fauna.
The flow that this channel receives will be rerouted to connect into the stormwater system on
site. After treatment, stormwater will outlet into the existing wetlands and stream system. Therefore,
a hydrologic connection to downstream waters will be maintained. As noted above, Reach 1 (the first
464 LF of the channel) does not provide aquatic fauna habitat. Therefore, none will be lost by
rerouting this section of the channel. Reach 2 does provide some aquatic fauna habitat and there will
be permanent losses to 158 LF of this section of the channel. Furthermore, the heavy stormwater
flow is continuously eroding the banks of the channel, and a great deal of sediment is being washed
downstream. Rerouting the flow to a stormwater pond for treatment will greatly reduce the
sediment that flows to McPherson Creek, which may have an overall beneficial effect on water
4
I
quality to this stream system. Based on this information, we believe that the proposed project will
have minimal adverse effects.
MITIGATION
The applicant has attempted to avoid and minimize wetland impacts as much as possible
during the site design. Because Reach 1 is considered to be a low functioning stream with no aquatic
fauna habitat and poor water quality, we believe no mitigation should be required for impacts to this
section of the channel. Furthermore, funneling water from the culvert under Ramsey Street into a
stormwater treatment system will improve the overall water quality of McPherson Creek. Reach 2
scored a high quality rating and does contain stream geomorphology and aquatic fauna habitat. To
mitigate for stream impacts to Reach 2 (158 LF) and for the small amount of wetland impacts (0.01
ac), we propose purchasing stream credits from the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services at a
2:1 mitigation to impact ratio (316 LF of stream credit).
