Location The project, Lissara Lake Subdivision, is approximately 132 acres in size and is located north of Shallowford Road (SR 100 1) and west of Conrad Road (SR 1305), approximately 2 miles west of Lewisville, in Forsyth County, North Carolina. 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). 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 that 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 0.08 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 lakebeds, 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 additional road crossings (not located on the dams) are necessary to access high ground. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels resulting from project total 8,032 linear feet of stream channel, including 1,318 linear feet for the placement of fill material associated with dams and road crossings, and 6,714 linear feet resulting from flooding the lakes. Proposed permanent impacts to wetlands resulting from project total 0.08 acre, 0.04 acre for the discharge of fill and 0.04 acre resulting from flooding the lakes. 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.
