Dear Mr. Penfield:
The Wetlands Unit staff reviewed the stormwater management plans for the subject project and determined
that additional information is necessary to complete the technical review process. The required additional
information is as follows:
Planting Plan
Please provide a planting plan as specified in the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual, April 1999. The plan should not include cattail.
2. Operation and Maintenance Agreement
An operation and maintenance agreement is required. Reference NCDENR Administrative Code
Section 15A NCAC 2H .1000 Stormwater Management , December 1995, Section. 1008, item i.
A stormwater control structure will not operate as designed without regular maintenance. Typical
requirements for an operation and maintenance plan include the following:
• Vegetation management/mowing schedule
• Semi-annual inspections
• Debris check after every storm event
• Benchmark for sediment removal (specific elevations listed)
• Designation of a responsible party
• Schedule to clean out the forebay
The operation and maintenance agreement must also be signed by the responsible party and
notarized.
3. Drainage Area
The stormwater plan appears to be only for a portion of the property labeled AO 2. Please delineate
the drainage area on a site plan.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, WRP
121 West Trade Street
Suite 1900
Charlotte, NC 28202
Dear Mr. Gutierrez:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 0.30 acres of wetlands and 700 linear feet of streams for the purpose of constructing an office park
commercial development at Faison/Arrowpoint office Center Site in Mecklenburg County, as you described in vour
application dated February 7, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
26 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater,
Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or
CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification
and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H.0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and
any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters to notify the state in
order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the
date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later).
An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this
Office before the impacts sp-wifed in this Certification occur. The storrnwater rnan-n3ement pla
must include plans and specifications for an extended detention wetland designed to remove 85% TSS
accordin_e to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the stromwater
management facilities, as approved by this Office, must be constructed and operational, and the
stormwater plan, as approved by this Office, shall be implemented.
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate
for these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402, this contribution will
satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h), feet of restoration will be required. Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check
(made payable to: DEINTR - Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell
should be contacted at 919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration
Program. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment.

401 Certification Program
Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program Y
February 21, 2000

Review of 404/401 Application, Faison/Arrow Office Center, unnamed tributary
Sugar Creek, Mecklenburg County
The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and a 401 Certification from the Division of Water Quality. These 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).
Impacts from this development will be 690 linear feet of stream and 0.32 acres of wetlands. A
hardwood wetland zone will be developed at the discharge of the wet detention pond. $61,250
payment is proposed to the NC Wetland Restoration Program.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) continues to be
concerned about the fragmentation and loss of forested areas or woodlands as development
occurs in areas near the City of Charlotte and in or near Mecklenburg County. Communities that
are designated as bird sanctuaries are causing irreparable harm to avian species by development
practices that destroy terrestrial and aquatic habitats. We appreciate the efforts to protect water
quality by providing stormwater detention and treatment. However, the NCWRC does not
encourage the utilization of existing waters or wetlands for water quality treatment facilities.
The NCWRC supports utilizing deed restrictions or restrictive covenants on the remaining
jurisdictional areas.
d
a

Faison Arrow Office Ctr.doc Page 2 02/21/00
We recommend that streams be relocated whenever possible by using bioengineering
methods and that a naturally forested buffer of at least 50 feet be provided on each side of the
relocated stream channel. Deed restrictions or conservation easements should be utilized. State
or local minimum buffers must be met. The stormwater treatment pond should be built out of the
stream. If this stream is located on a water supply watershed and if it is perennial, the buffer
requirements for high-density development is 100 feet from the streambank edge. When
impounding these waters, the buffer should extend from the edge of the pond.
If stream relocation is not economically feasible or practicable, we recommend that the
wet detention facility include vegetated littoral shelves for aquatic edge habitat as routinely
required in 401 Certifications. Buttonbush, black willow, tag alder, wax myrtle and river birch
would be appropriate in this vicinity. Tag alder may not be appropriate in nutrient sensitive
watersheds. To restore biodiversity (especially avian and terrestrial habitats) and to enhance
aquatic/detritus habitats in the detention facility, we recommend that the applicant provide for
the restoration of tree and shrub species similar to those previously found on or near the site.
Native species such as wild cherry, hickory and oak may be preferred due to structural concerns
and wildlife benefits. These trees and shrubs should be planted around and on the upper third of
the detention structure, excluding the dam. When mature, this reforested and edge habitat should
restore some habitats and functions lost through development. It should partially restore aquatic
habitats, reduce exposure of the water surface to sunlight thereby reducing thermal pollution,
provide essential summer and winter forage and habitats, and provide an aesthetically pleasing
green space that should improve property values. Walking trails (6' maximum width) associated
with this environmentally enhanced detention facility could also provide recreational, health, and
educational benefits.
Instead of using the typical fescue grasses, the remaining portions of the structure should
be planted with warm season grasses or the following mix:
Spring/Summer Mixture, May 1 - Sept. 15 Fall/Winter Mixture, Sept. 15 - April 30
Browntop millet 20 lbs/a Rye grain 120 lbs/a
Korean lespedeza* 20 lbs/a Korean lespedeza* 20 lbs/a
Shrub lespedeza 1 lb/a Shrub lespedeza 1 lb/a
Switchgrass 10 lb/a Partridge pea 10 lb/a
* On slopes less than 3:1 use Korean lespedeza
On slopes greater than 3:1 use Crown Vetch or Sericea lespedeza (not preferred)
Add one of the following to the above mixture
Crown Vetch 5 lbs/acre
Ladino Clover 5 lbs/acre Lime & fertilize disturbed areas according
Alfalfa 5 lbs/acre to NCRS soil test and recommendations.
(Note: Mowing should be limited to February I - April I and should only occur as needed to prevent tree
growth on the dam or other areas. Mowing on a 2-3 year schedule should suffice.)
Faison Arrow Office Ctr.doc Page 3 02/21/00
Trees and shrubs (1 year bare root seedlings) should be planted randomly at a minimal
rate of 100 trees per acre on the top and upper portions of the structure and at a minimal rate of
150 per acre around the normal water elevation and littoral shelf area. The following list of tree
species may assist in providing habitat benefits:
Loblolly Pine* Red Cedar Black Gum American Holly Dogwood
Hickory Sumac White Oak Willow Oak Red Maple**
Swamp Chestnut Oak Viburnum Green Ash Ironwood Black Cherry
Water Oak Persimmon Silky Dogwood
Other species may be utilized depending on site requirements and availability. Pines* should not exceed
15% of the reforestation. No more than 20% of the tree species will be of a single species. An 80%
success rate is acceptable over five years. Large or fast growing trees like Sycamore and Maple** may not
be appropriate around detention facilities.
The above recommendations should be considered for the multiple benefits that they can
provide to the community and to the environment. Contributing to wider diversity of habitats
around detention facilities will elevate aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity as well as provide
multiple biological functions and benefits in urbanized settings. These areas may be limited in
size yet still function as small ecosystems that can support amphibians, lizards, mammals, and
birds. Initial costs for environmental enhancement of detention structures should not be
prohibitive and the long-term maintenance costs should be reduced, as constant mowing would
not be necessary in the naturalized areas. Initially, it may be advantageous to have basic
sketches and planting schedules submitted for review prior to implementation of these detention
facility enhancement practices. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-
9453.

From our conversation on March 14, 2000, please find enclosed the site plans and some other
relevant information regarding the Faison Arrowpoint Properties project. As we discussed, this
project was a CD (Conditional District) plan, which indicates that it is grandfathered from the
recently adopted Mecklenburg County S.W.I.M. Stream Buffer requirements. Since this project is
grandfathered, there is little we can do locally at Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental
Protection (MCDEP) to prevent them from disturbing the buffer and the wetlands area at the site.
Since this development may adversely impact water quality by disturbing a sensitive wetlands area,
MCDEP strongly opposes this project and requests that the State not allow any fill to be placed in
the wetlands. Please contact Ron Eubanks at 336-5446 or Rusty Rozzelle at 336-5449, if you have
any questions or need additional information.

Dear Mr. Gutierrez:
At your req•aast i visited proposed project site in October,1999, to identify the presence
of Waters of the U. S., subject to the provisions of the Clean Water Act, such as wetlar?d .
or stream areas. An area is determined to be a wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil,
Hydrophytic Vegetation, and Wetland H'ydrolop cheractorisbcs. These chm. cteristics
are required to be in accordance with the definition.. in the U.S. Army Corps Wt tlod
Delineation Manual. 1947. Areas which exhibit these three characteristics-were identified
as wetlands. Surface waters such as perennial and intermittent creeks are- also subjeGr to.-
the regulatory requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The propose-d site plan, dawd 11130/99, by P.E.A. of North Carolina, avoids 'tie
delineated and surveyed wetland and stream areas. Proposed future impacts to these attas
are Subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 and Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act (33 1JSC 1344). This requires review and approval from the United States Amity
Cotp5 of Fagineers a: d the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
Please let rric knew iff you have any questtons or rcquin farther explanation.
Thanks.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, WRP
121 West Trade Street
Suite 1900
Charlotte, NC 28202
Dear Mr. Gutierrez:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 0.30 acres of wetlands and 700 linear feet of streams for the purpose of constructing an office park
commercial development at Faison/Arrowpoint office Center Site in Mecklenburg County, as you described in your
application dated February 7, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
26 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater,
Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or
CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification
and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and
any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters to notify the state in
order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the
date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later).
2. An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this
Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater management plan
must include plans and specifications for an extended detention wetland designed to remove 85% TSS
according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the stromwater
management facilities, as approved by this Office, must be constructed and operational, and the
stormwater plan, as approved by this Office, shall be implemented.
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate
for these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402, this contribution will
satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h), feet of restoration will be required. Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check
(made payable to: DENR - Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell
should be contacted at 919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration
Program. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment.

Applicant has requested approval to impact 490 linear feet of important (mitigatable) intermittent
stream channel and 210 linear feet of unim o?nt (non-mitiaato able) channel as well as 0.30 acre of
riparian wetland for the purpose of constructing an Office Park_ Mitigation for the impacts to the
important channel will be accomplished by pa ment into the WRP. Under normal circumstances, a
lymiect such as this would not venerate much review beyond the typical avoidance options- channel
cietermination, and the need for SW detention. This 401 request, however, raises other more serious
concerns due to the known quality of the surface water in this watershed. Sugar Creek borders this
site and has been identified in various DWQ documents (possibly on the 3090 list) as not
supporting or partially supporting based on physical and chemical data. Furthermore, recently
wed stream buffers in Mecklenburg County would have made it impossible to construct the
building proposed in this application except for the fact the developer/applicant had his site plan
approved ,just prior to the implementation of the County stream buffers,

Dear Mr. Penfield:
The Wetlands Unit staff reviewed the stormwater management plans for the subject project and determined
that additional information is necessary to complete the technical review process. The required additional
information is as follows:
Planting Plan
Please provide a planting plan as specified in the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual, April 1999. The plan should not include cattail.
2. Operation and Maintenanee Agreement
An operation and maintenance agreement is required. Reference NCDENR Administrative Code
Section 15A NCAC 2H. 1000 Stormwater Management, December 1995, Section .1008, item i.
A stormwater control structure will not operate as designed without regular maintenance. Typical
requirements for an operation and maintenance plan include the following:
• Vegetation management/mowing schedule
• Semi-annual inspections
• Debris check after every storm event
• Benchmark for sediment removal (specific elevations listed)
• Designation of a responsible party
• Schedule to clean out the forebay
The operation and maintenance agreement must also be signed by the responsible party and
notarized.
3. Drainage Area
The Stormwater plan appears to be only for a portion of the property labeled AO 2. Please delineate
the drainage area on a site plan.

Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. Rick Guttierez, of Trammell Crow Company, 1 am requesting confirmation of
eligibility to fill + 490 If of important intermittent streams, + 210 If of unimportant stream, and
approximately ± 0.30 acres of wetlands to develop this site for office park site utilizing NWl' 426.
Mitigation is proposed fo\r stream and wetland impacts. Stormwater management facilities to treat runoff
from impervious surfaces will be incorporated into the overall development plan.
BACKGROUND
The project site is located in rapidly developing southwest Charlotte, NC. The current adjacent land-use is
undeveloped and primarily former agricultural land in secondary succession. Land use in the area consists of
commercial and office complexes. There are approximately 0.70 acres of jurisdictional waters and wetlands
on the project site. Approximately 700 If of streams has been determined as having important aquatic
function. Approximately 210 If of streams have been determined to be unimportant. There are
approximately 0.30 acres of headwater wetlands and 0.28 acres of wetlands adjacent to Sugar Creek. The
wetland and stream determination was verified by the USACE on December 15, 1999.
The site is adjacent to Sugar Creek sub-basin in the Catawba Basin (Water Classification - C). The majority
of the site is a moderately sloping ridge to the Sugar Creek floodplain. The small headwater wetland was
found to have high function and value in regard to water storage, pollution removal, bank stabilization,
aquatic life resources utilizing Guidance for Rating the Values of Wetlands in North Carolina - Fourth
Version. The wetlands within the floodway fringe of Sugar Creek floodplain have been identified as "below
headwaters" by the 11 c
DESCRIPTION
??,yuiviv?,y auu nv(1n?pt15
Wetland hydrology is provided by a seasonal flooding, and surface runoff over a clayey subsoil found at the
toe of slopes where the ridge meets the floodplain, depressions, and areas adjacent to the small channels.
These wetlands can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved, Scrub Shrub, Temporarily to
Seasonally Flooded (PFOIA, PFOIC,
Faison/Arrowpoint Office Park

PSS1A, and PSSIF). According to Natural Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide-Section
II-A-2, June 1991, Monacan (MO) soils are listed as Map Units with inclusions of Hydric Soils in
Mecklenburg County.
Vegetation in wetland and riparian areas are dominated by Facultative, Facultative Wet, and. Obligate
Vegetation and include black willow, green ash, willow oak, red maple, sweet gum, alder, silky dogwood,
greenbriar, poison ivy, multiflora rose, and others. Herbaceous plants include sedges, needle rush,
jewel-weed, and other typical wetland species.
SUMMARY OF WATER4 OF THE U.S.
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional. Waters on the site were determined according
to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with Appendices.
Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA Soil
Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the Routine
On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to
make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydiric soil, and wetland
hydrology were be identified as described in the manual.

WETLANDS PERMITTING AND MITIGA TION
voidance Minimization and Mitigation
Due to the economic, engineering, safety, and spatial requirements of a development, a large contiguous
areas must be graded for roads, building pads, and parking. However, the following best management
practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to adjacent wetlands and
natural areas to be preserved.
C) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project,
d) Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat,
however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid recovery.
e) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control
structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and
aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface
waters.
f) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coning into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
-r osed ComnenssatQ Mitigation I Ctormwater Management Pl
nu
To meet restoration mitigation requirements for stream impacts by grading, the developer is proposing to
contribute $61,250 to the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program (490 If X $125/ If) to mitigate for
stream impacts.
A Stormwater Management Plan will be designed and implemented for the project to meet the 401 Water
Quality Certification requirements. Wet detention basins shall be the primary treatment system for
stormwater runoff from paved surfaces and landscaping on commercial, office, business, and institutional
parcels. The wet detention basins will be designed to attenuate the first inch of rainfall over a 24 hour period.
Water will be released over a 2 to 5 day period to the wetland mitigation areas to increase filtration.
Discharge velocity of the outclass will be less than five cfs. A littoral zone/forebay will be incorporated into
the design of the ponds to encourage additional nutrient removal. The planners will utilize information and
guidelines provided by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources in
developing the design of wet detention basins using the Table I I in the Stamwater n
Practices NCD NR Novembrr 1995 ' gemenr
To compensate for the loss of the wetlands, a bottomland hardwood/scrub/shrub wetland zone will be
developed at the discharge of the wet detention pond and diversion from the stream channel of
approximately 1/3 acre to help enhance water quality and. reduce the potential nutrient impacts
downstream. Establishing and maintaining a natural, forested, low maintenance ecosystem will reduce the
volume of runoff, and thereby reduce erosion and pollutants coming from an area of more intensive land use
to a water body. The reduction of erosion and pollutants occurs through natural mechanisms such as
deposition, infiltration, adsorption, absorption, filtration, and decomposition. Natural forested areas have the
capacity for collecting and storing nutrients and the canopy protects the soil from erosion. The impact of the
increased runoff and reduction of natural filtration will be analyzed with respect to the capacity and. stability
of natural channels and the presence of environmentally sensitive areas.
Faison/Arrowpoint Office Park
January 25, 2000, Page 4
The plan will also rely on increasing the frequency and duration of saturation, flooding, and ponding within
the area to support or begin to restore wetland hydrology. The area has a diverse population of hydrophytic
vegetation that will likely withstand the increased duration of saturation and ponding in the winter and early
spring. Species include green ash, sycamore, elm, red maple, willow oak, and sweet gum. Herbaceous
species currently include honeysuckle, poison ivy, microstegium, and others. It is expected that with
increased saturation some Facultative vegetation may suffer, including problem species such as eleagnus,
privet, microstegium, and honeysuckle. However it is expected that willow, green ash, alder, and other
herbaceous species more tolerant of wetter conditions would succeed naturally. Additional vegetation
monitoring will be conducted to determine the need for additional planting in the future to enhance the
habitat values.

Planting shall be in naturalistic / random clumps to encourage diversity. Specific plant species, quantities,
and size which will be utilized for the mitigation sites will be dependent on availability, cost, time of year in
which planting occurs. Existing wetlands and. surface waters and buffer areas will be protected from erosion
and sedimentation during construction and installation of the mitigation sites. Control structures such as
sedimentation traps, siltation barriers, and/or at a minimum silt fence will be utilized as necessary.
PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The preserved wetlands and streams will be protected from future impacts by the applicant or by a group
designated by the applicant for this purpose. Development of these areas will be deed restricted in
accordance with restrictive covenants which will be developed for approval by the USACE and/or NCDWQ.

THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus schweinitzii) and the Carolina heelsplitter (Mecklenburg County). Schweinitz's sunflower
thrives in full sun characteristic of succession fields, margins, and forested openings. The site is characterized
by extensive overgrowth and forested areas. Based on a site reconnaissance, habitat conducive to support
the Schweinitz', c flow r is not present in the prgiPr_ t arm-The Carolina heelsplitter is a freshwater
mussel which prefers shaded areas either in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs along steep banks
with moderate current. Primary habitat are waters less than three feet deep with a soft mud, muddy sand, or
shady gravelly substrate. It is normally restricted to protected silted areas or under banks especially
associated with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. Its current distribution according to the US Fish
and Wildlife Service is limited to portions of two streams -- Goose Creek and Waxhaw Creek -- and a small
river originating from rural areas in Union County. Therefore it is does not occur on this
State Protected necies "
The Carolina Darter (Etheostoma collis) is a fish that inhabits small streams such as those found in the
project area and may occur in Sugar Creek. This species has a federal status of Proposed Special Concern
and a state status of Special Concern. The species prefers small clear streams of less than 15' width with
moderate to swift current and a sand/gravel benthic composition. It apparently tolerates a wide range of
water quality conditions and vegetation types adjacent to the streams and appears resistant to pollution. (E.
Menhinick). Therefore, strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be
maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project site is adjacent to urbanized land and bounded by contemporary commercial and office
developments. No standing structures were encountered on the project site.
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of wetlands and intermittent tributaries of Sugar Creek and
the Catawba River. A variety of wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles,
amphibians, fish, insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and
sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control cgradation
of water quality downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Short term construction impacts,
primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent
practicable to promote rapid recovery. Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved.
sedimentation and erosion control plan. Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping
ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other
toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken
to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
CONCLUSION
This project will provide important economic benefits to the region. Based on the value of the jurisdictional
waters and wetlands on this site, the developer has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its
environmental value and permitability. The goal of the Stormwater Treatment and Mitigation Plan is to help
balance the environmental consequences of this development by creating a beneficial aquatic resource that
Faison/Arrowpoint Office Park
January 25, 2000, Page 6
will help maintain or minimize degradation of waters of the U.S. downstream of the project and replace the
functions of the small wetland areas that must be impacted by the development. The mitigation sites will be
preserved by the applicant or by a group designated by the owner for this purpose.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation. Thank you for your
consideration.
