Attached is an application for an individual permit to construct three lakes as part of a
residential development. All of the following information is available in digital format and
will be forwarded to you upon your request.
Location
The project, Lissara Lake Subdivision, is approximately 132 acres in size and is located
north of Shallowford Road (SR 1001) and west of Conrad Road (SR 1305), approximately 2
miles west of Lewisville, in Forsyth County, NC. Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the
site are 36.10690 North, 80.44910 West. The site contains an unnamed tributary of the
Yadkin River and adjacent wetlands in the Yadkin River Basin (8 -Digit Cataloging Unit
03040101)
Existing Site Conditions
The land use in the area surrounding the project consists of large lot residential dwellings,
forested tracts, and agricultural tracts. The area is currently subject to increasing
residential pressure.
The land use on the project itself is primarily in forest cover, which occupies
approximately 90% of the total acreage. The remaining acreage is made up by residences
and yards. The site contains several small intermittent tributaries which combine to
create a perennial stream that runs from south to north through the property. The
property is roughly rectangular in shape and the stream essentially bisects the property
along its length. The unnamed tributary drains to the Yadkin River approximately 1 mile
downstream of the site. The site also contains approximately 0.10 acres of wetlands.

Applicant's Stated Purpose
As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide a recreational
waterskiing lake, an aesthetics pond, and a stormwater management facility.
Project Description
The project consists of a waterskiing lake, a stormwater management facility, an
aesthetics pond and two road crossings within a 132 acre residential development.
Development of the site will require clearing the proposed lake beds, grading the proposed
dam sites, filling necessary to impound the streams, and piping of streams to construct
roadways. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull dozers, etc.
will be used for the construction of the project. Completion of the proposed project
would require the construction of 2 dams that impound water and support road crossings
and one dam that does not support a road crossing. Rights of ways for roads are proposed
to be 60 feet and side slopes for dams are proposed to be 3:1. Two road crossings are
necessary to access high ground. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels
resulting from the placement of fill material associated with dams and road crossings
` totals 1,318 linear feet. The proposed impacts resulting from flooding streams totals
6,714 linear feet. Proposed permanent impacts to wetlands resulting from the discharge
of fill totals 0.04 acres. The proposed permanent impacts to wetlands resulting from
flooding the lakes total 0.08 acres. Plans included with this notice show the overall
proposed site layout as well as details of the proposed dam.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels by payment into the
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program. The applicant proposes payment for
1038 linear feet of impacts resulting from the construction of dams and payment for 2395
linear feet of impacts for all impacts resulting from flooding.
Thank you for your time and consideration and please call me at (828) 320-8120 with any
questions that you may have.

Lissara IP Narratives

Project Purpose and Need
Lissara LLC, the project proponent, proposes to construct a 28 acre
recreational and water skiing lake, an aesthetics pond and a stormwater
management facility in conjunction with development of the Lissara
subdivision in Forsyth County, North Carolina. There are no other property
owners that adjoin the waterbody that will be impacted.
The proponent needs the lake to provide the central recreational amenity
for the project which proposed the use of both vintage and competitive ski
boats to provide opportunities that are not available in the immediate
proximity. The ski lake should be long enough (2400 linear feet) and wide
enough (300 linear feet) to provide the competitive and novice skier and the
opportunities to practice their skills on smooth water without safety
concerns related to other crafts which are so prolific on public lakes. The
ski lake needs to be located entirely on the project area so as to limit
access.
The proponent further seeks to construct a stormwater management facility
on a perennial stream to limit the inflow of sediment to the proposed ski
lake. This sediment removing structure needs to be located upstream of the
ski lake and needs to be able to be dipped from high ground without lowering
the ski lakes pool. An aesthetics lake is proposed and is needed to offset
infrastructure costs associated with the development.
The impacted streams will be diverted while the clean fill is discharged into
the stream to construct the dams. All three dam will be constructed with
3:1 side slopes. The trapezoidal bases of the dams will impact a total of
1038 feet of linear streams. Approximately 240 cubic yards of discharge
will occur below the ordinary high water mark. The outlets of the dams will
utilize low -flow cool water design strategies.
The subject stream is mapped as an unnamed intermittent tributary to the
Yadkin River which has approximately 90 acres of drainage. The NC Division
of Water Quality has classified the Yadkin River as Class WSIV waters. The
subject stream has been assessed using the Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheet (USACE Wilmington, Version 06/03) based on prior land use and

forested cover. The entirety of the stream at the Pond 1 has excess
sediment load. The stream is generally in poor to good condition.

Avoidance and Minimization
The proponents have identified a need to create a lake based development
for water skiing using vintage water craft as well as competitive ski craft.
The proponents first evaluated other properties with lakes and found that
none with the dimensional and development requirements were for sale. The
dimensional requirements are necessary to ensure safe use of the lake. The
development requirements limit access to the general public and the lake
needs to meet all current dam safety requirements.
Topographical limitations and regional ground / surface water discharges
limit the ability of the proponent to excavate a lake of the required
dimensions into a floodplain or other flat area and achieve the project need.
The proposed site does not require excessive grading impacts and because
the lakes will impact all the stream length in the drainage there are limited
concerns relating to the upstream migration of aquatic organism.
One pond is required as a sediment control devise and is located such that all
sediment can be dipped from the structure without lowering the lake
elevation. This is required so as not to interfere with the use of the lake.
The aesthetic pond is needed to provide increased revenue to off -set the
capital cost of the project and to enhance the overall theme of the
development.
The proponent has avoided hard impacts to the greatest extent practicable
by situating the dam at its proposed location and by proposing a low -flow
cool -water riser -pipe structure. The proponent evaluated reducing the
flooded reach by moving the dam upstream. The unintended consequence is
that more hard impacts would be required for the dam. Impacts requiring
discharges to Waters of the US are limited to the construction of the dam
which will create additional regulated Waters of the US. The predominant
impacts of the project to streams are secondary in nature and result from
flooding.
The proponent considered alternative development concepts and determined
that the uniqueness of the current proposal provided the best potential for
success.
Lissara IP Narratives
June 15, 2005
Cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project are minimized
through the reduction in scope and through design considerations including:
• Engineered low -flow cool -water discharge orifice
• Establishment of vegetated buffers along the lake shore
Lissara IP Narratives
June 15, 2005
Mitigation Proposal
Summary:
Wetlands and streams not impacted by the proposed development as well as
those areas restored and created under this proposal will be preserved
under a permanent protective covenant. Stream mitigation will be
accomplished through the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NC EEP).
Wetlands:
Wetland impacts are below the mandated threshold for mitigation as
required by the NC Division of Water Quality. Though there is no specific
mandate for wetland mitigation the applicant will be off -setting the surface
area impacts to streams with the surface area of the impoundment. The
loss of 0.86 acres of stream surface area will be mitigated by the creation
of over 30 acres of surface waters.
Streams:
Stream impacts can be separated into two separate classes that merit
differing mitigation ratios based upon the effect of the discharge and
subsequent flooding. Impacts resulting from the construction of the
impoundment result in a permanent loss of waters while impacts associated
with flooding result in a net increase in regulated Waters of the U5.
The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be
protected through a low -flow cool -water / aerating discharge.
Stream Mitigation Proposal for Secondary Impacts
Secondary impacts to stream will result from the flooding of a poor to good
quality stream. The flooding will alleviate sediment load from failing banks.
Stream restoration is proposed at a 0.5 to 1 ratio through the NC EEP for
the flooding impacts because they are secondary impacts to lower quality
streams. The ratio is in consideration of additional mitigative measures such
as design considerations.

Proposal for Primary Impacts
Primary (hard) impacts to streams and wetlands resulting from the
impoundment structure will be mitigated at a 1;1 ratio. The applicant
proposed to participate within the NC EEP for these impacts because the
onsite mitigation opportunities are non-existent

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Pro ject Purpose and Need
Lissara LLC, the project proponent, proposes to construct a 28 acre
recreational and water skiing lake, an aesthetics pond and a stormwater
management facility in conjunction with development of the Lissara
subdivision in Forsyth County, North Carolina. There are no other property
owners that adjoin the waterbody that will be impacted.
The proponent needs the lake to provide the central recreational amenity
for the project which proposed the use of both vintage and competitive ski
boats to provide opportunities that are not available in the immediate
proximity. The ski lake should be long enough (2400 linear feet) and wide
enough (300 linear feet) to provide the competitive and novice skier and the
opportunities to practice their skills on smooth water without safety
concerns related to other crafts which are so prolific on public lakes. The
ski lake needs to be located entirely on the project area so as to limit
access.
The proponent further seeks to construct a stormwater management facility
on a perennial stream to limit the inflow of sediment to the proposed ski
lake. This sediment removing structure needs to be located upstream of the
ski lake and needs to be able to be dipped from high ground without lowering
the ski lakes pool. An aesthetics lake is proposed and is needed to offset
infrastructure costs associated with the development.
The impacted streams will be diverted while the clean fill is discharged into
the stream to construct the dams. All three dam will be constructed with
3:1 side slopes. The trapezoidal bases of the dams will impact a total of
1038 feet of linear streams. Approximately 240 cubic yards of discharge
will occur below the ordinary high water mark. The outlets of the dams will
utilize low -flow cool water design strategies.
The subject stream is mapped as an unnamed intermittent tributary to the
Yadkin River which has approximately 90 acres of drainage. The NC Division
of Water Quality has classified the Yadkin River as Class WSIV waters. The
subject stream has been assessed using the Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheet (USACE Wilmington, Version 06/03) based on prior land use and

forested cover. The entirety of the stream at the Pond 1 has excess
sediment load. The stream is generally in poor to good condition.

Avoidance and Minimization
The proponents have identified a need to create a lake based development
for water skiing using vintage water craft as well as competitive ski craft.
The proponents first evaluated other properties with lakes and found that
none with the dimensional and development requirements were for sale. The
dimensional requirements are necessary to ensure safe use of the lake. The
development requirements limit access to the general public and the lake
needs to meet all current dam safety requirements.
Topographical limitations and regional ground / surface water discharges
limit the ability of the proponent to excavate a lake of the required
dimensions into a floodplain or other flat area and achieve the project need.
The proposed site does not require excessive grading impacts and because
the lakes will impact all the stream length in the drainage there are limited
concerns relating to the upstream migration of aquatic organism.
One pond is required as a sediment control devise and is located such that all
sediment can be dipped from the structure without lowering the lake
elevation. This is required so as not to interfere with the use of the lake.
The aesthetic pond is needed to provide increased revenue to off -set the
capital cost of the project and to enhance the overall theme of the
development.
The proponent has avoided hard impacts to the greatest extent practicable
by situating the dam at its proposed location and by proposing a low -flow
cool -water riser -pipe structure. The proponent evaluated reducing the
flooded reach by moving the dam upstream. The unintended consequence is
that more hard impacts would be required for the dam. Impacts requiring
discharges to Waters of the US are limited to the construction of the dam
which will create additional regulated Waters of the US. The predominant
impacts of the project to streams are secondary in nature and result from
f looding.
The proponent considered alternative development concepts and determined
that the uniqueness of the current proposal provided the best potential for
success.
Lissara IP Narratives
June 15, 2005
Cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project are minimized
through the reduction in scope and through design considerations including:
• Engineered low -flow cool -water discharge orifice
• Establishment of vegetated buffers along the lake shore
Lissara IP Narratives
June 15, 2005
Mitigation Proposal
Summary:
Wetlands and streams not impacted by the proposed development as well as
those areas restored and created under this proposal will be preserved
under a permanent protective covenant. Stream mitigation will be
accomplished through the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NC EEP).
Wetlands:
Wetland impacts are below the mandated threshold for mitigation as
required by the NC Division of Water Quality. Though there is no specific
mandate for wetland mitigation the applicant will be off -setting the surface
area impacts to streams with the surface area of the impoundment. The
loss of 0.86 acres of stream surface area will be mitigated by the creation
of over 30 acres of surface waters.
Streams:
Stream impacts can be separated into two separate classes that merit
differing mitigation ratios based upon the effect of the discharge and
subsequent flooding. Impacts resulting from the construction of the
impoundment result in a permanent loss of waters while impacts associated
with flooding result in a net increase in regulated Waters of the U5.
The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be
protected through a low -flow cool -water / aerating discharge.
Stream Mitigation Proposal for Secondary Impacts
Secondary impacts to stream will result from the flooding of a poor to good
quality stream. The flooding will alleviate sediment load from failing banks.
Stream restoration is proposed at a 0.5 to 1 ratio through the NC EEP for
the flooding impacts because they are secondary impacts to lower quality
streams. The ratio is in consideration of additional mitigative measures such
as design considerations.

Proposal for Primary Impacts
Primary (hard) impacts to streams and wetlands resulting from the
impoundment structure will be mitigated at a 1:1 ratio. The applicant
proposed to participate within the NC EEP for these impacts because the
onsite mitigation opportunities are non-existent

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality

Bank Material
Within the proposed flooded reach
the banks of the stream are
comprised primarily of highly
erodable saprolite and weathered
rock. Stream bed appears to have
excess bedload based on preliminary
d50 assessment
Instability
Within the proposed flooded
reaches are numerous areas with
high degrees of instability resulting
from a combination of bank
materials and historic land use.
Erosion is occurring below the root
zone and trees are falling into the
stream
Grade Control
Good grade control is present at the
upstream locations of the proposed
ponds. Grade control, in the form of
boulders stabilize the upstream
reaches but undercutting below the
root zone is evident immediately
below the grade control.
