Project Purpose and Need McKeough Land Company, the project proponent, is proposing the construction of 17 infrastructure road crossings in Phases 2-4 and 5 driveway crossings (total in all Phases) for a total of 33 crossings, in all Phases (11 in Phase 1 that have been previously permitted and 22 in Phases 2-4), on the 816 -acre site known as Round Mountain Falls. The 22 road and driveway crossings will impact NC DWQ verified perennial and intermittent streams. The site plan consists of a residential development with 191 lots. All road crossings are necessary to access high ground for the development of single-family residences. The Round Mountain Falls site is located at the end of Oscar Chappell Road in Transylvania County, NC. The 816 -acre tract is depicted on the attached Transylvania County Tax Map as Parcel # 8540-96-2181-000. This site is primarily forested with mixed hardwood stands of mixed age classes. Some areas have been recently timbered. Old home sites are also present on-site, though there are no remaining structures, only clearings. There is one grassed pasture present on site. The subject streams are all in the Savannah River Basin; and they include Ann Creek (Class C; Tr), Bearpen Creek (Class C; Tr), Devils Hole Creek (Class C; Tr), Rock Creek (Class C), Toxaway Creek (Class C; Tr), and unnamed tributaries. Impacts are to these streams, their unnamed tributaries, and two adjacent wetlands (previously permitted in Phase 1). The subject streams were assessed by Mr. Kevin Barnett of the NC DWQ on September 15, 2006. Each stream crossing location was assessed to be either perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral based on its score from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality Stream Identification Form Version 3.1. The perennial and intermittent determinations can be seen on the "Simplified Impact Table". The attached Simplified Impact Table for streams lists the crossing number, duration of flow as determined by the NC DWQ, pre-existing pipe length, proposed impact length, and net new impact. The mitigation table, included with the impacts table, separates impacts by perennial and intermittent classification. Based on their classification a mitigation ratio and multiplier are devised, and the amount of mitigation is calculated. No mitigation is proposed to impacts on ephemeral features and these locations are not shown on the impact maps. Avoidance and Minimization The land planning team has avoided and minimized impacts to the maximum extent practicable, while still meeting development goals. New roads are proposed along pre-existing logging roads in order to minimize new impacts to the property. There were a total of 52 jurisdictional road and driveway crossings, in all phases (20 in Phase 1 and 32 in Phases 2-4), proposed for the development of Round Mountain Falls. Through minimization, crossings D, E, F, 6, and J in Phases 2 and 3 have been eliminated, decreasing impacts on site by 100 linear feet. Four bridges will be used on site, they include, crossings 23 and 45, the bridge on the abandoned state road, and the Toxaway Creek crossing north of crossing 2 which was inadvertently not indicated on the maps. Two of these bridges were recently newly constructed at a cost of approximately $50,000, each. To further eliminate impacts, a fifth bridge will be utilized at crossing 25. Two arch spans will replace the need for impacts at crossings 22 and 31. After avoidance and minimization, 40 crossings remain. Twenty of the 40 proposed crossings, in all phases, are at existing crossings; totaling approximately 559 linear feet of previously impacted stream. This accounts for 42% of the total impacts on site, in all phases. Insufficient length and/or diameter; and structural integrity make it necessary to replace and/or lengthen these existing crossings. Impacts in the form of pipe extensions and new construction of pipes require authorization for 608 linear feet of additional impacts for Phases 2-4. Four of the 22 crossings proposed in Phases 2-4 have been located at pre-existing crossings; thereby avoiding 80 linear feet of additional impact. Wetland impacts have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. All of the large wetland complexes along Toxaway Creek, within Phase 1, have been avoided, and there are no proposed wetland impacts in Phases 2-4. Utilization of arch spans is not practical for most of the crossings within the development. Stream size and time needed for construction played a role in not pursuing this option. Cost was also a large factor; arch span crossings, on average, are ten times more expensive than the comparable culverted crossing. Within the Round Mountain Falls property boundary, there are over 89,500 linear feet of stream channels. All proposed stream impacts, in all phases, are necessary to access high ground and the 608 linear feet required for high ground access in Phases 2-4 accounts for less than 1% of the total amount of stream footage on the property. Over ninety-nine percent of all streams, in all phases, will remain un -impacted and preserved in perpetuity under the convenants and restrictions of the development. Alternatives Analysis McKeough Land Company was unable to find comparable parcels of land for sale in the general location of Round Mountain Falls. The goals for this project are to create an economically feasible, low density development that takes advantage of the natural amenities in Western North Carolina. The design team has strived to keep this development as low density as possible while maintaining the economic feasibility of the project. Round Mountain Falls is comprised of 816 acres that will contain 191 lots, ranging from 2 to 10 acres, and greater than 150 acres of common open space. This equates to 1 home per 4 2 acres. Utilizing a large site helped to make the low density project more cost efficient and provide for large open spaces within the property boundary. As this was the only site of this size available in this general location, there were no alternative sites evaluated for potential stream and wetland impacts. Furthermore, any large parcel in the vicinity, considered for purchase, would require application to the USACE and the NC DWQ for jurisdictional impacts associated with road crossings. Although the current property was the only tract of land considered for purchase, the parcel known as Round Mountain Falls had the luxury of having a large network of pre-existing logging roads and an abandoned state road bisecting the property. It was considered that utilization of the state road and logging roads would help decrease the amount of new road impacts necessary. Providing close proximity to outdoor recreation as an amenity was an essential element in the overall concept of this development. Transylvania County was chosen because of it's over abundance of natural features and convenience to urbanized areas such as Brevard, Hendersonville, and Asheville. Transylvania County is home to the Blue Ridge Parkway, over 500 miles of trails, and over 250 waterfalls. Approximately half of its land mass is devoted to Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, and Dupont State Forest. No other properties considered offered the acreage required to economically sustain this type of development, while still offering the abundance of natural areas required to draw residence into a development without a central anthropogenic amenity. McKeough Land Company considered alternative development concepts and determined that the uniqueness of the current proposal provided the best potential for success, in the targeted market of second home buyers. Mitigation Proposal Preservation and restoration will be utilized as mitigation at the site. Seven areas, on-site, have been identified as candidates for restoration. An updated restoration map and plan has been attached to this document. Restoration at a ratio of 1:1 and preservation at a ratio of 350:1 will occur for all perennial stream impacts, in all phases, mitigating for 524 linear feet of impact. Restoration activities will include the removal of unneeded road crossings; and sloping and re -vegetation of banks to a condition comparable to conditions up- and downstream of the pipe. Preservation at a ratio of 40:1 will occur for all intermittent stream impacts, mitigating for 233 linear feet of impact. Total preservation on site will include 86,275 linear feet of channel and associated buffer, totaling approximately 90 acres. These areas will be contained within the "Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for the Plat of Round Mountain Falls" to be protected in perpetuity.

Corps Regulatory Official Rebekah L. Newton Date: December 16, 2005 Expiration Date of Verification: March 18, 2007 North Carolina Wildlife Resources Comgm issiong Richard B. Hamilton, Executive Director August 31, 2005 Ms. Rebekah Newton U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regulatory Branch 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, North Carolina 28801-5006 SUBJECT: McKeough Land Co. - Mr. Andrew Baker Nationwide Permit Application/s Round Mountain -- UTs Toxaway Creek Transylvania County Dear Ms. Newton: Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants Inc., on behalf of Mr. Andrew Baker of McKeough Land Co., requested a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) for a 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. I reviewed the application and am familiar with the project area. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). The applicant proposes 149 feet of stream impacts and 0.0068 acre of wetland fills to develop Phase I of the Round Mountain subdivision near Rosman. Additional phases of the development should trigger an individual permit in the future. Mitigation will be completed onsite. Trout should not occur in the UTs, but they do occur short distances downstream. Toxaway Creek has a high sediment load, but last year we found several adult and juvenile rainbow trout near the subdivision's entrance on the state road. Some were found in Devils Hole above the falls as well. The project has the potential to harm trout resources in waters downstream as a result of sedimentation. We recommend that the acreage and phase I limits be defined if this project is permitted in phases. The application includes a map showing the general phase I portion of the 816 acre tract. However, it also shows roads, some of which may be existing, extending off the depiction. The Commission is concerned about aquatic resources in this drainage. Therefore, we can concur with a permit if following conditions are attached and used to help conserve resources: 1. In stream construction and disturbance within the 25 -foot trout buffers must not occur from January 1 to April 15 to protect rainbow trout spawning in downstream waters. 2. Adequate sediment and erosion control measures must be used before construction and maintained until disturbed soils are permanently stabilized. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within fifteen (15) days of ground disturbing Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries d 1721 Mail Service Center a Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 o Fax: (919) 715-7643 Baker Page 2 august 31, 2005 Transylvania County, UTs Toxaway Creek activities for long-term erosion control. Erosion control matting should be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples, stakes, or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas. 3. Culverts that are less than 48 inches in diameter should be installed with 20% of the diameter of the culvert placed below the level of the stream bottom to allow the accumulation of stream bed materials and to facilitate aquatic life passage during periods of low stream flow. Larger diameter culverts should be placed 1 foot below the stream bottom. Culverts should be placed in the main flow channel (i.e. thalweg). Partial burial of culverts in this manner also may require increasing their size to accommodate flow requirements. 4. If concrete is used during construction (e.g., headwalls), a dry work area must be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts live concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for water chemistry change and a fish kill. 5. Rock, sand, or other materials should not be excavated from the stream channels except in the immediate vicinity of the crossings. Instream dredging has severe effects on aquatic life and disturbance of the natural form of the channel can cause downstream erosion problems. The natural dimension, pattern, and profile of the channels adjacent to the crossings should not be modified by widening or changing their depths. b. Sandbags, flexible pipe, or other diversion structures should be used where possible to avoid excavation in flowing water. Materials used for flow diversions should be removed from the stream bed after completing the construction work. Any diversion channels must be lined with fabric and/or rock. 7. Storm water from roads should be directed to vegetated buffer areas (e.g. level spreaders) or retention basins and not routed directly to streams. Drop inlets on streams must not be constructed. S. Any riprap placed for inlet or outlet stabilization should be clean and limited to the stream bank below the high water mark and vegetation should be used above. Rip rap must not be placed in stream channels in a manner that obstructs fish passage. 9. All crossings should be constructed as close to perpendicular to the stream channels as possible to minimize stream and buffer disturbance. Road and utility alignments should be set -back as far as possible from stream channels to minimize sedimentation and buffer disturbance. 10. Riparian vegetation, especially trees and shrubs, should be preserved as much as possible. Native woody vegetation (e.g., rhododendron, dog hobble, silky dogwood, sycamore, river birch, red maple) should be reestablished upstream and downstream of the stream crossings if it is removed during construction to provide bank stability and shading. We encourage the use of native plants that must be removed from permanently disturbed areas. 11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be inspected and maintained regularly to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials. 12. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 13. The remaining lengths of streams and riparian areas on the tract should be protected in either their existing or improved state (i.e. with native vegetation reestablished where absent) in perpetuity from fill, vegetation removal, and other forms of disturbance with deed restrictions. A riparian buffer width of 25 feet is minimally consistent with the "trout buffer rule", but wider buffers are recommended to provide more water quality and habitat functions. 14. All impacts to jurisdictional areas must be considered cumulatively in this subdivision during any subsequent permitting. Mitigation for Phase I impacts must be successfully completed before impacts for additional project phases are permitted.

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 ;he 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.

Transylvania County, North Carolina July 3, 2006 Prepared by: Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants Introduction Current regulations applicable to the issuance of 401 Water Quality Certifications require that the Division of Water Quality confirm that the project it is evaluating "does not result in cumulative impacts, based upon past or reasonably anticipated future impacts, which cause or will cause a violation of downstream water quality standards". DWQ currently utilizes the following documentation to implement its regulatory obligation to evaluate cumulative impacts: "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative Impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetland Program. NC Division of Water Quality, October 3, 2002, Version 1.6". DWQ's policy provides for three levels of cumulative impact analysis. Most small scale projects where little impervious surface is added and where the project is situated in an already developed locale will only require a "Generic Description" of the project's possible cumulative impacts. A "Qualitative Analysis" is required for projects of somewhat more impact that are located near existing roads and development. A "Quantitative Analysis" is required where a project is significantly and is likely to have a growth stimulating effect. DWQ's policy provides that it is applicable to private development projects, although it recognizes that "many private development projects are unlikely to cause cumulative impacts". DWQ recognizes that private development projects most commonly have cumulative impacts when they are 1) relatively large, 2) involve commercial development, and 3) occur in otherwise relatively undeveloped landscapes with an impact on regional growth patterns". For the Round Mountain Falls, DWQ staff has determined that a qualitative analysis of the potential cumulative impacts of the project in terms of its effects on downstream water quality would be appropriate. To determine potential cumulative impacts, this project was reviewed for any growth stimulating effects and their downstream impacts on water quality. As described in greater detail below, the applicant does not believe that the project will result in cumulative impacts that cause or will cause a violation of downstream water quality standards because it is not likely to be growth simulative due to its size, its nature, and the fact that it will be constructed in an otherwise relatively developed local landscape. Project Description, Location, and Existing Site Conditions McKeough Land Company, Inc. is proposing the construction of 40 infrastructure road crossings and 5 driveway crossings on the 816 -acre tract known as Round Mountain Falls. The site plan consists of a residential development with 191 single-family lots ranging in size from 2 to 10 acres and greater than 150 acres of common open space. Round Mountain Falls is located at the end of Oscar Chapel Road, south of Rosman in Transylvania County, North Carolina. In general, the site is bordered to the north by the Nantahala National Forest, to the east by Blue Ridge, to the south by Chestnut Ridge, and to the west by Bear Pen Hollow. • The site is primarily forested with mixed mesic hardwood stands of differing age classes. Some areas have recently been timbered. Several old homesites exist on the property, although there are no remaining structures. One grassed pasture is also present on site. Elevations on the property range from approximately 2100 feet at the lowest point in the Devil's Hole Creek valley to approximately 2800 feet at the highest points on Round Mountain and the southern ridge. Project Area Description The project is located near Rosman, a small town in the metro -Brevard area. Brevard is the largest municipality in Transylvania County. Due to their proximity to waterfalls and designated forest areas, Brevard and Rosman are seasonal destinations for outdoor enthusiasts and prospective "second home" buyers. Brevard has approximately 6700 permanent residents. This population along with the growing seasonal population has instigated commercial and residential development in the area. The main commercial development in Brevard and Rosman is along the NC Highway 64 corridor. The Town of Brevard is a self-sufficient municipality containing all necessary amenities to live, work, and play. Watershed Description This project is located in the Savannah River Basin. Devil's Hole Creek and its tributaries are the primary hydrologic systems on site. The site also contains smaller portions of the Toxaway Creek, Ann Creek, Rock Creek, and Bearpen Creek watersheds. Ann Creek is a 4th order perennial channel; there are 10,678 linear feet of stream channel in this drainage on site. Bearpen Creek is a 3rd order perennial channel; there are 4,088 linear feet of stream channel in this drainage on site. Devils Hole Creek is a 4th order perennial channel; there are 41,608 linear feet of stream channel in this drainage on site. Rock Creek is a 3rd order perennial channel; there are 15,724 linear feet of stream channel in this drainage on site. Toxaway Creek is a 5th order perennial channel; there are 17,468 linear feet of stream channel in this drainage on site. All streams and unnamed tributaries on the site are classified at "C; Tr" waters, with the exception of Bearpen Creek and its tributaries which are classified as "C" waters. Class "C" waters are defined as "freshwaters protected for secondary recreation, fishing, aquatic life including propagation and survival, and wildlife." The "Tr" designation identifies waters as being "suitable for natural trout propagation and maintenance of stocked trout." All wetlands are associated with on-site channels. The larger wetland complexes occur in the flood plain of Toxaway Creek. Hydrology is groundwater and surface water from intermittent channels slowed down by the low slope gradient along Toxaway Creek. There is no dominant over -story within the wetland. The dominant mid -story, scrub -shrub stratum consists of tag alder (A/nus serru/ata), and dog hobble (Leucothoe racemosa) with an herbaceous layer of sedges (Carexspp.) and ferns (Osmunda cinnamomea, etc.). These wetlands drain to Toxaway Creek (Class C; Tr) in the Savannah River Basin. Other on-site wetlands are seeps located at the tops of channels; they are groundwater seeps that may or 0 r may not support vegetation, primarily sphagnum moss (Sphagnum spp.) and sedges (Carex spp.). These seeps flow into unnamed tributaries on site. Project Induced Growth The project is not likely to induce adjacent development primarily because there are no services, utilities, or roads being constructed by McKeough Land Company, Inc. that will be available to adjacent landowners or the general public. Any induced commercial growth will be accommodated by Rosman and Brevard but there is no commercial development directly associated with site development. The members of this new community are likely to shop and dine at the local restaurants and retail stores in the Brevard -Rosman area. However, because these residents are likely to be seasonal, it is not likely to create a demand for additional retail or commercial ventures. The majority of the members at Round Mountain Falls will be baby -boomers who do not have school aged children. Therefore, no schools or other related supporting development will occur due to Round Mountain Falls. Summary McKeough Land Company, Inc. proposes to develop this project in accordance with likely conditions in the 401 Water Quality Certification and the 404 Permit authorizations. The purpose of implementing these guidelines is to protect the downstream water quality in the area of the project. Other development that occurs in the same watershed will likely be restricted to similar conditions providing protection to surface waters. Because of the projects close proximity to Brevard, Rosman, and the NC Highway 64 corridor, the applicant does not believe that any potential effects on growth will occur due to the development of Round Mountain Falls. *A ,;pr -X10-06 10:30A MELROSE DEsIGN CROUP 1,ANUSCAPH ARCHITRCTURE • LAND PLANNING • ENWRONMENTAL DESIGN MEMO RAND UM TO: Angie Pennock - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers FROM: Matthew J. Fusco DATE: March 2, 2006 SUBJECT: Round Mountain Falls Individual hermit Application Ms. Pennock, Thank you for taking the time to talk with us February 28& regarding the Round Mountain Falls project. As we discussed, the developer has made numerous changes to the proposed Master Plan in order to reduce and minimize proposed impacts on the property. Early plans for development considered the implementation of a golf course component, multiple high density areas and even the possibility of a lake. During our field documentation, we found that due to the number of streams and small tributaries on the property, many of our early considerations may not have been possible. At that point we began to consider the possibility of a development that minimized density in any given area to reduce pressure on the streams and tributaries. Initial plans showed the construction of over 35,000 linear feet of new roads. However, we did find an extensive system of logging roads and skid trails that could be utilized in the development. By shifting proposed roads to follow existing features, we were able to reduce the proposed mad lengths by nearly half. Also, the majority of existing roads were in need of maintenance and had been contributing to stream sedimentation. By utilizing these roads, we will be able to repair the problems and improve the existing stream disturbances which will ultimately reduce stream sedimentation. Overall, the current master plan shows a minimum lot size of around l .5 acres, with restrictions in the covenants for one primary and one accessory structure per lot_ By addressing the allowable disturbance per lot, as well as limiting the amount of vegetation that can be disturbed on each lot, the developer will ultimately increase any protective stream buffers beyond the requirements of the state and federal governments. In addition; the current plan will reduce concentrated areas of impervious surface by spreading it throughout the property. This will reduce pressure on the streams from concentrated discharge, as well as provide a greater area for infiltration prior to entering the stream Based on current plans, the impervious surface area for the whole development will come in at 6 % or less, including driveways, homesites, roads and amenity structures. 56 WHITE UAK 'AI)AD AKDZb:, NORTH CAA041NA 28104 TH)_HPHONE 828.684.5155 RAOSIM11.1;.
