Re: Pro-Form Construction, Inc.
Watson Seed Farm Road
Proposed Farm Path Stream/Wetland Crossing
Nash County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Brown & Ms. Karoly:

Thank for your assistance and DWQ staff assistance with this project. We are submitting the
following information for Watson Seed Farm Road. We are requesting for Corps of
Engineers (COE) and NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) written approval under Sections
404 and 401, Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1344 and the Tar-Pamlico River Buffer Rules.

The proposed activities are for a Nash County and North Carolina recognized horse farm.
The purpose of Tall Grass Farms is to breed and raise juvenile race horses along with hay
production.

Impacts associated with this project include one farm path crossing impacting 101-linear feet of
Robinson Branch (perennial stream channel) and 0.16 Acres of Riparian Wetlands. Tar-
Pamlico River Riparian Buffer (TPRB) Impacts are also anticipated for the road crossing.
TPRB Impacts for the stream and wetland crossing areas are 5,928 SF (Zone 1) and 2,914 SF
(Zone 2). A second impact Area is proposed at the Southeast corner of the proposed horse
training track. The proposed location is in a pasture/non-wooded area. The large riparian area
along Robinson Branch will remain undisturbed by locating the track in this location.

A riparian restoration of the old beaver pond area is proposed immediately below the proposed
stream crossing for the farm path. Details of the activities are as follows.
Riparian Restoration Plan

Areas that we are addressing for the riparian restoration plan include the following
items:
• Detailed planting plan
• Planting schedule PIE@ wV
• Tree species details !j v

In accordance with the January 2001 Guidelines for Riparian Restoration, the planting
plan below includes the vegetation to be used, planting practices, and the three-year
monitoring plan.

Vegetation

All of the new saplings will be comprised from the list below. This tree inventory is the
result of a vegetation analysis on June 12, 2007 of the wetland areas on the south side of
Watson Seed Farm Road.
Common Name Botanical Name Location
Large Trees White Oak Quercus alba Upland
Willow oak Quercus phellos Distributed
Tulip Poplar Liriodendron tulipifera Distributed
Loblolly Pine Pinus taeda Distributed
Water oak Quercus nigra Upland
Redbay Persea borbonia Distributed
Sourwood Oxydendrum arboreum Distributed
Bald Cypress Taxodium distichum Lowland
Small Trees American Holly Ilex opaca Distributed
Eastern Red Cedar Juniperus virginiana Distributed
Black Cherry Prunus serotina Upland
Dogwood Cornus florida Upland
Ironwood Ostrya virginiana Distributed
Box Alder Acer negundo Distributed
River Birch Betula nigra
Green Ash Fraxinus pennsylvanica
Due to nursery availability, KE will allow for suitable substitutions of the trees listed on
the previous page. Prior approval to planting must be obtained. Moreover, the trees must be
similar to the inventoried trees and be listed on the NCDWQ January 2001 Guidelines for
Riparian Restoration.

A Tree Planting Exhibit is attached for your review (Attachment C). The saplings will be
planted on a 10-ft. x 10-ft. grid within the new 50-foot riparian zone of Robinson Branch. The
proposed road crossing area will not be planted. Please refer to the site plans and restoration
layout for details. This crossing has been planned for the past year and discussed with DWQ
and COE staff, including the recent DWQ site meeting.

Planting Practices

KE recommends conducting the planting of the new vegetation from Late September
2008 to March 2009 to ensure success. Supervision of the plantings will be conducted by KE
personnel and revisions to the planting plan will be notified immediately to DWQ and other
involved parties.

The tree planting followed the following guidelines:
• Planted so that the root collar is slightly below the soil surface.
• Have the main roots nearly straight or spread out.
• Have soil firm around the roots.
• Have the tree in an upright position and have it nearly even with the general ground
level, not sunk in a hole or raised on a mound.
• A one-time fertilizer application is not planned due to the floodplain location and
existing nutrients.
• Additional Mulching is not anticipated since sufficient mulch from the previous
beaver pond exists.
• Apply water, if necessary

Monitoring

To ensure success of the planted tree, KE will conduct quarterly monitoring for one year
and annual monitoring for two years. This will include photo-documentation of the trees and
providing a report to the client and DWQ 401 Wetlands Unit. The first report will be submitted
immediately after planting.

If you should have questions or require additional clarification during the review please
feel free to contact me immediately at [phone] (office), [phone] (cell) or email:

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
Impact Area 1 involves 2-80' x 60" culverts placed in Robinson Branch. One of the
culverts will be placed 1-foot below the stream bed; and the other culvert will be placed
at-grade. A downstream 20' L x 30'W dissipater pad will also be placed in the stream &
wetland areas.
Impact Area 2 involves placing a single culvert in the linear wetland seep for the horse
training track.

2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial
viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and
explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the
desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during
construction to reduce impacts. The applicant attempted to minimize stream and wetland
impacts to the maximum extent practicable. As illustrated on the May 6, 2008
site Mans minimization of the jurisdictional impacts has been accomplished.

Page 5 of 9

Impact Area 1 is downstream and upstream of some large wetlands and directly
below a property line. The proposed area is the narrowest area along the stream
corridor. Consideration was given to expanding watson seed farm road between
the 2 tracts. However, transporting horses near traffic is not safe and there
would likely be more wetland impacts. COE & DWQ personnel have seen the
staked out area and concur with the location.
Impact Area 2 is at the Southeast corner of the proposed horse training track.
located in the north-central area of the property. The proposed location is in a
pasture/non-wooded area. The large riparian area along Robinson Branch will
remain undisturbed by locating the track in this location.

VIII. Mitigation

DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of
impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts
to perennial streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of
Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation
will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment
are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and
relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining
acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of
mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to:
reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland
vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic
resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in
order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any
application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on
hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for
stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina,
available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlan(is/strmizide.htm1.

1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should
provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location
(attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and
amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement,
creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed
restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site
conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if
more space is needed.

Page 6 of 9

A riparian restoration of the old beaver pond is proposed. Approximately 5
rows of saplings will be planted on a 10' x 10' grid on each side of Robinson
Branch. Monitoring of the plantings will also occur for 5-years after planting.
The proposed project should not be required to provide mitigation for the
proposed impacts. Please refer to the attached cover letter for more details.
Since the breaching of the old beaver pond, a confined channel has
developed and is shown on the site plans.

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to
contact the NCEEP at [phone] to determine availability, and written approval
from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation
must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wq?/in(lex.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
