Za n,
Please view the responses below regarding the Fletcher Partners, Inc. project located off Sardis Road in
Buncombe County.
Attachment A of Water Quality Certification 3890 (GC 3890) states, "All projects, regardless of project
area, amount of built -upon area or amount of jurisdictional impact, shall meet the following
stormwater design requirements...". See provided link to GC 3890 for the full requirements. Your
application inaccurately states that a stormwater management plan (SMP) is not required. Buncombe
County is a certified local program delegated to review SMPs. Please provide documentation of
Buncombe County's approval of a SMP for this project by providing EITHER:
a. A valid approval letter and one copy of the approved SMP, or
b. One set of stormwater plan details and calculations stamped as "Approved" by Buncombe
County.
CEC has corrected the Stormwater section of the PCN. A Stormwater Management Plan is in preparation and
the developer will comply with Buncombe County Stormwater management requirements. Attached is a
revised portion of the PCN as discussed during your telephone conversation with Clement on 2/13/17.
Avoidance and Minimization: This Office believes that the proposed impacts labelled S1 and S2 on
Figure 3.1 can be moved or reconfigured to the north side of the confluence of the two tributaries to
minimize the overall impacts to a single crossing. Please revise the plans to minimize the impacts or
provide a detailed explanation of why this plan for the activity cannot be practically accomplished,
reduced or reconfigured to better minimize disturbance to the unnamed tributary to Hominy Creek.
Culvert installation at the DWR proposed location would be difficult due to the steeper topography within the
eastern portion of the project parcel (Figure 3.1, attached). The current, proposed crossings are located within
areas of the site that would not require extensive grading or land manipulation. Although the DWR proposed
crossing would limit the impacts to a single crossing, crossing at this location would require a fill of 20 — 25
feet over the top of the pipe. Additionally, transition slopes for that grade would require approximately 80-
100 feet of impact excluding the road section.
Also, a gravel road already exists along the western margin of the property. The proposed road ties into this
existing feature. If the crossings were relocated, the continuity of the parcel would be interrupted, reducing
buildable area for future development or subdivision of the northern portion.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Kaylie
