Current Land Use
The current land use for the project area is agricultural with adjacent residential and wooded
areas. Dominant vegetation within the project area consists of Japanese honeysuckle
(Lonicera japonica), common blackberry (Rubus argutus), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciua),
red maple (Acer rubrum), various grasses (Festuca spp.), and sedges (Carex spp.). According to
the Soil Survey of Union County', on-site soils consist of Badin channery silty clay loam, 2 to 8
percent slopes (BdB2), Chewacla2 silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes (ChA), Cid channery silt loam,
1 to 5 percent slopes (CmB), and Tatum gravelly silty clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes (TbB2).
Badin, Cid, and Tatum soil types are well drained and exhibit slow to moderate permeability,
while Chewacla soils are somewhat poorly drained and exhibit moderate permeability.
Jurisdictional Delineation
On October 13, 2005, CWS's Richard Darling, CE and Ron Johnson, WPIT delineated and
classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

(USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual 3 There are two jurisdictional wetland areas located
within the project area. Routine On-Site Data Fonns representative of Wetlands AA and BB as
well as non jurisdictional upland areas are enclosed (DPI and DP2). Jurisdictional waters of the
U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and
USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Fonns and USACE Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheets representative of Streams A - E are enclosed (SCPI - SCP3). On March 28, 2006, Mr.
Alan Johnson with NCDWQ's Mooresville Regional Office confirmed the "unimportant"
classification of on-site channels. The majority of these channels have been heavily impacted by
farming operations in the past and lack buffers.
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are four jurisdictional stream
channels (Streams A - E) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). On-Site
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. include South Fork Crooked Creels and unnamed tributaries to
South Fork Crooked Creek. South Fork Crooked Creek is in the Yadkin River basin
(HU# 03040105)5 and is classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ.
Stream A (South Fork Crooked Creek) and approximately 1,101 feet of Stream B were evaluated
to be perennial (Figure 1, enclosed). These channels exhibited average ordinary high water
widths of 10-15 feet (Stream A) and 3 feet (Stream B) and displayed significant aquatic life,
perennial flow, and diverse stream substrates. NCDWQ Stream Classification scores ranged
from 34.5 to 43.5, indicating perennial status. USACE Stream Quality Assessment scores ranged
from a low of 40, potentially due to a lack of riparian zones and adjacent wetlands, to a high of
49 due to more natural bank conditions (SCP1 - SCP2). There are approximately 5,569 linear
feet of Perennial stream channels within the property boundaries. A photograph of Perennial
Stream A is enclosed as Photograph A.
Streams C, D, E and approximately 1,394 linear feet of Stream B were evaluated to be
Unimportant Intermittent (Figure 1, enclosed). These channels exhibited average ordinary high
water widths of 2-3 feet, little to no aquatic life, flow, and homogenous stream substrates. The
NCDWQ Stream Classification score for these channels was 18.5, indicating intermittent status.
The USACE Stream Quality Assessment score for these channels was 24 potentially due to low
presence of flow and lack of adjacent floodplains and wetlands (SCP3). There are approximately
4,094 linear feet of Unimportant Intermittent stream channels within the property boundaries.
Wetlands AA and BB are linear wetlands and are 0.08 and 0.02 acre in size, respectively
(Figure 1, enclosed). These linear wetland areas are hydrologically connected to Perennial
Stream A. These areas exhibited similar characteristics and are represented by one data point.
Dominant vegetation includes willow oak (Quercus phellos), sweetgum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), green arrow arum (Peltandra virginica), alligatorweed
(Alternanthera philoxeroides), lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), and silky dogwood
(Corpus amoinum). These areas exhibited low chroma soils (2.5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 4/6), and
saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form
representative of these areas is enclosed (DP 1). A photograph of Wetland is enclosed as
Photograph B. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representative of on-site, non-
jurisdictional upland areas has been included (DP2).

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on March 15, 2006 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, of archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. In a response letter, dated April 21, 2006 (enclosed), SHPO
determined that based on the topographic and hydrologic conditions that exist within the project
area that "there is a very high probability that archaeological sites exist in the project area."
SHPO recommends that a comprehensive archaeological survey of the site be conducted prior to
any construction activities.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
March 15, 2006 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. In a response letter, dated
March 20, 2006 (enclosed), the NCNHP stated that the "State significant Crooked Creek Aquatic
Habitat flows along the northern boundary of the tract." Two State Endangered and Federal
Species of Concern have been identified in Crooked Creek approximately 1.5 miles upstream
from the project site. These species include the Savannah lilliput (Toxolasma pullus) and the
Carolina creekshell (Villosa vaughaniana). No construction activities are proposed within or
proximity to Crooked Creek. An approximate 20 acre buffer (greenway) will be preserved
between the proposed project area and Crooked Creek, additionally proper sediment and erosion
control measures will be used in order to prevent impacts to the downstream aquatic habitat.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 142 acres of property into a residential
subdivision containing approximately 258 lots. This project will provide single-family housing
to an area of Union County that is experiencing significant population growth. Impacts to on-site
jurisdictional waters are necessary to construct roadway access and provide residential lots.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Impacts to on-site unimportant intermittent stream channels have been reduced to
0.10 acre and no impacts to jurisdictional wetland areas are proposed. Proper sediment and
erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. The
proposed site plan is proposing the preservation of approximately 17.46 acres of riparian buffer
along 4,468 linear feet of stream channel.
Alternatives Analysis
In an effort to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional areas, an alternatives analysis was
conducted to determine the least damaging site plan for the project while still achieving the
project's goals. Alternative A for this site would have impacted approximately 1,115 linear feet
(0.06 acre) of unimportant intermittent stream channel and 203 linear feet (0.02 acre) of perennial
stream channel. Avoidance of jurisdictional features included 2,784 linear feet of unimportant
intermittent stream channel and 898 linear feet of perennial stream channel. Alternative A was not
feasible due to the loss of four lots and the inability to relocate a portion of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream D because of the proposed construction of a stone wall, and utility lines along
the future Unionville-Indian Trail Road relocation.
May 15, 2006
Ms. Amanda Jones
Page 4 of 5
The Alternative B site plan would have impacted approximately 1,020 linear feet (0.06 acre) of
unimportant intermittent stream channel and 203 linear feet (0.02 acre) of perennial stream channel.
Avoidance of jurisdictional features included 2,834 linear feet of unimportant intermittent stream
channel and 898 linear feet of perennial stream channel. Alternative B was not feasible due to the
loss of six lots and the inability to relocate portions of Unimportant Intermittent Streams B and D.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Perennial Stream B total approximately 203 linear feet (0.02 acre).
Proposed impacts are the result of culvert construction and associated rip rap. Unavoidable impacts
to Unimportant Intermittent Stream B will total approximately 795 linear feet (0.03 acre). Proposed
impacts are a result of 795 linear feet of new pipe placement. Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant
Intermittent Stream C will total approximately 720 linear feet (0.03 acre) and are a result of new
pipe placement. Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream D total approximately
1,360 linear feet (0.06). Approximately 965 linear feet of these impacts are a result of new pipe
placement and the remaining 395 linear feet are the result of the construction of a sediment basin
and associated grading activities. This sediment basin is approximately 1 acre in size and will be
converted to a pond once construction activities are completed. Total impacts to on-site
unimportant intermittent streatn channels are approximately 0.12 acre (Figure 2, enclosed). On
behalf of The Mathisen Company, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification
Application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13,
and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3402 (enclosed).
Storm Water Management
Total project impervious area calculations are less than 30% for each proposed lot type.
Therefore, a stonn water management plan is not being designed for this development. Please
see Table 1. for a summary of each lot as well as the proposed amenity center. Storm water
management will meet the current requirements for developments in Union County.

Compensatory Mitigation
A proposed compensatory mitigation plan was developed to further minimize the impacts to
aquatic resources. The current mitigation plan proposes approximately 17.46 acres of riparian
buffer preservation located adjacent to Perennial Stream A (South Fork Crooked Creek) and
includes Wetlands AA and BB. Approximately 4,468 linear feet of perennial stream channel and
0.10 acre of wetlands will be preserved (Figure 2, enclosed).

List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap,
dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
Pm-,e 3 of
www.usgs.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of L'SGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
ww,w.mapquest.com, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site:2.988 linear feet (0.14 acre)

N/A
* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and, stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections: Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ® uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): dam/embankment and excavation
Proposed use or purpose of pond livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): sediment basin during construction activities, will be
converted to an aesthetic pond after completion of construction.
Size of watershed draining to pond: approximately 22 acres
Expected pond surface area: approximately 1 acre
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Impacts to on-site unimportant intermittent stream channels have been reduced
to 0.10 acre and no impacts to jurisdictional wetland areas are proposed. Proper sediment
and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.
The proposed site plan is proposing the preservation of approximately 17.46 acres of riparian
buffer along 4.468 linear feet of stream channel.
VIII. Mitigation
A proposed compensatory mitigation plan was developed to further minimize the impacts to
aquatic resources. The current mitigation plan proposes approximately 17.46 acres of
riparian buffer preservation located adjacent to Perennial Stream A (South Fork Crooked
Pa,ie 4 of 77
Creek) and includes Wetlands AA and BB. Approximately 4.463 linear feet of perennial
stream channel and 0.10 acre of wetlands will be preserved (Figure 2. enclosed).
Nlitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
land?
Yes ? No 71
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at (919) 733-083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

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 strearn 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.

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 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.

Project No. 2006-1329, Union County, ER 06-0779
Dear Mr. Jenkins:
Thank you for your report of March 15, 2006, concerning the above project. Based on the topographic and
hydrological situation that exists within the proposed project area, we have determined that there is a very
high probability that archaeological sites exist in the project area. We therefore recommend that a
comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist to identify and evaluate
the significance of any archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project.
Potential effects on unknown resources must be assessed prior to the initiation of any earth moving activities.
As always, we tivill be happy to assist you in planning your archaeological survey strategy
Two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report, as well as one copy of the appropriate site forms,
should be forwarded to us for review and comment as soon as they are available and well in advance of any
earth moving activities.
A; list of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed interest in contract work in North
Carolina is available at www.arch.dcr.state.nc.us/consults. The archaeologists listed, or any other experienced
archaeologists may be contacted to conduct the recommended survey.
We have determined that die project as proposed will not affect any historic structures:
The above corrnments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.

Dear Mr. Jenkins:
William G. Ross Jr., Secretarf
The Natural Heritage Program no records of rare species or significant natural communities at the site
nor within a mile of the project area. The State significant Crooked Creek Aquatic Habitat flows along
the northern boundary of the tract. Two very rare mussels - Savannah lilliput (Toxolasma pullus) and the
Carolina creekshell (Villosa vaughaniana), both State Endangered and Federal Species of Concern,
have been found in South Fork Crooked Creek at SR 1501, located perhaps 1.5 mile upstream of the
natural area. These mussels might well be present in the creek along the boundary of the project area.
Thus, it is very important that proper sedimentation controls be in-place during the construction phase of
the project to keep sediment from reaching the creek.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of '
rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad
map. Alternatively, the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (CGIA) provides digital
Natural Heritage data online on a cost recovery basis. Subscribers can get site specific information on
GIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species occurrences and Significant Natural Heritage
Areas. The CGIA website provides Element Occurrence (EO) ID numbers (instead of species name), and
the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage Program for detailed information. This
service allows the user to quickly and efficiently get site specific NHP data without visiting the NHP
workroom or waiting for the Information Request to be answered by NHP staff. For more information
about data formats, pricing structure and ordering procedures, visit
http://www.cgia.state.nc.us/cgdb/datalist.html, or call CGIA Production Services at [phone].
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 919-715-8697 if you have questions or need further information.
