MEMORANDUM
TO: John Domey, N.C. Division of. Water Quality
FROM: J.H. Carter ITT., JCA Inc.
SUBJECT: Little River Farms wetland mitigation plan; WQC Project #960980
Cr': Bobby Blanche, Robert Tresslar, Jeff Neubauer
I am in receipt of your letter dated 14 October 1999 concerning the above
P. 02/0'7
referenced project. In the letter, you indicated that your inquiry of 5 August 1997 had not been
answered. In fact, I have sent 3 different written. responses to your, office (letter dated 7 August
1997 to you; letter dated 19 December 1997 to you; fax dated 28 September 1998 to Eric
Gdlamb) and discussed this issue with members of your staff on several other occasions over the
last 2 years (as recently as September 1999).
1 have enclosed a revised mitigation plan for this project. No impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands have occurred. We have been involved for more than 2 years in very difficult
negotiations concerning the Conservation Easement. We now appear to be close to completing
the easement transaction and will begin implementing the mitigation plan this winter. We will
forward a copy of the Conservation Easement as soon as it is signed.
Please call me if you have any questions.

WETLANDS MITIGATION PLAN

LITTLE RIVER FARMS DEVELOPMENT
MOORE COUNT'Y', NORTH CAROLINA
INTRODUCTION
P.04/07
This mitigation plan was prepared pursuant to Water Quality Certification (WQC)
No. 3133 (DWQ project #960980) dated 7 March. 1997 and is based on a conceptual
mitigation plan by Dr. J.H. Carter M submitted to Mr. John Domey, North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (D WQ) on 6 February 1997.
MITIGATION PLAN
1. All deeds to residential lots containing jurisdictional wetlands as depicted on the
wetlands plat dated May 1996 and signed by Mr. Michael Hosey, U.S. Anny Corps of
Engineers, on 6 June 1996, and not slated to be filled pursuant to this Water Quality
Certification, will contain a "deed restriction and protective covenant", the text of
which is included in "Attachment A".
2. Approximately 3.5 acres of jurisdictional wetland will be created from uplands as
depicted in Attachment B in order to compensate for wetland fill (3.34 acres)
authorized by WQC No. 3133. The subject area is currently fallow pasture. The
terrain is flat and 0.5 to 1.0 foot higher than the surrounding wetlands.
Approximately 3.5 acres will be graded to the same elevation as that of the
surrounding wetlands. Spoil from the graded uplands will be used to create a low
berm on uplands along the edge of, but not within, forested wetlands bordering Little
River. The berm will cross jurisdictional wetlands supporting grasses, sedges and
rushes northwest and southwest of, and contiguous to, the created area. The berm
will be made of compacted earth and will measure approximately 6 feet wide at the
base and 2.0 feet high. Excess spoil will be placed on uplands and stabilized
appropriately. The berm will slow drainage of surface water into the floodplain
immediately adjacent to Little River, thereby establishing wetlands hydrology in the
NOO-02-1999 14:04 P.05i07
created area and enhancing hydrology in some adjacent wetlands. The berm will
also help retain floodwaters that overtop it. The goal is to create is a shallow
freshwater marsh vegetated with emergent wetland plants, but retaining some patches
of open water (or mud during the dry season), similar to, but slightly wetter, than the
wetlands being impacted under WQC No. 3133.
3. The creation area will be planted with native wetland grasses, sedges and rushes. It is
believed that native herbaceous vegetation growing in the adjacent wetlands will aid
in rapid revegetation of the creation site with appropriate species. No woody
plantings are proposed. Wetlands impacted under WQC No. 3133 were herbaceous
with no woody component.
4. Two 10x10 meter (m) vegetation monitoring plots will be established within the
creation area and another plot will be established as a reference plot in adjacent
jurisdictional wetlands. Each plot will have 5 1x1 m subplots. These plots will be
used to determine species diversity, percent cover and prevalence. Vegetative data
will be gathered annually in August/September for 5 years.
5. Three electronic monitoring wells will be established: 1 each in the creation area,
reference wetland and adjacent upland. Water levels will be recorded daily for 5
years- The target hydrology in the created wetland will be within + 3 inches of that in
the reference wetland.
6. Soils samples from the creation area, adjacent wetland and adjacent upland will be
obtained annually and characterized as to chroma and wetland hydrology
characteristics.
7. An as-built report will be submitted to DWQ within 60 days of completion of site
work in the creation area.
8. Annual reports summarizing all monitoring activities will be submitted to DWQ by
31 January for 5 years.
9_ Little River Associates, owners of the subject property, will donate a Conservation
Easement to the Sandhills Area Land Trust for 47.60 acres that includes the creation

area (Attachments C and D). Approximately 40 acres are forested jurisdictional
wetlands along Little River, a designated High Quality Water.

I am in receipt of your letter dated 5 August 1997 to Mr. Keith Stites concerning
the mitigation plan for Little River Farms (9960980). First, Mr. Stites no longer is
associated with Little River Farms. Future correspondence should be directed to Mr. Jeff
Neubauer. Second, we are attempting to complete the mitigation plan. There have been
project delays, as well as delays associated with the Corps 404 permit. Hopefully, we will
have a plan to you for review within 30 days.

Dear Michael:

I received the notice of the proposed fill of 2.43 acres of
wetlands adjacent to Wads Creek and Little River. It appears to me
that the permit request has some shortcomings.
First, the area proposed for mitigation, 6.7 acres, does not seem
to be twice the area proposed to be filled (2.43 acres). The
correct mitigation area would be 6.9 acres. Admittedly, this is a
minor point.
However, I feel my second point has more importance. In order for
enhanced wetlands to mitigate for wetlands lost due to fill for a
residential development, a number of things must happen. First,
the wetlands enhanced for mitigation need to have permanent
protection -- probably a conservation easement. In a residential
subdivision another thing needs to happpr -- permanent protection
needs to be effective for non-mitigation wetlands within the
subdivision that are not filled, so that, as the residential
subdivision matures and residents move in, no wetlands will be
threatened with degradation. Therefore, the remaining wetlands in
the subdivision need to have some form of permanent protection.
You and I know all to well of the gradual erosion of quality
wetlands that occurs within a residential subdivision after the
Corps gives its initial permit. You and I could both rattle off a
number of examples.
Therefore, I would request three things: 1) that the area proposed
for mitigation get increased to 6.9 acres; 2) that the mitigated
area be protected with a conservation easement sufficiently endowed
to ensure it perpetual monitoring; and 3) that the remainder of the
wetlands in the subdivision be protected by conservation easement
or restrictive covenants that can be enforced by anyone within the
subdivision, or downstream of it, who may be affected by degraded

Mr. John Dorney
Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Dear Mr. Dorney:
This letter is in response to your letter dated 27 February 1997. I am perplexed by
the questions in your letter about the Little River Farm Water Quality Certification
application (DWQ #960980). I have previously addressed these issues in writing, by
telephone conversations, and in meetings.
(1) You list Area 4 twice, I assume you mean Areas 1 and 4. Road fill is
proposed for Areas 1, 4, 14, and 28, and lot fill is proposed in areas 4 and 28. No fill is
proposed for Areas 23 and 23A-- these areas were excluded in the original application.
As I have discussed with your staff and you previously , potential fill outside of Area 11
was shown at the request of Mr. Michael Hosey of the Wilmington District, Corps of
Engineers. Mr. Hosey asked my client to show all "potential" fill sites on the property.
We cannot provide you with details on these fill sites because no detailed plans exist at
this time. We explained to the Corps and your staff that proposed fill locations outside
Area 11 were estimates, and likely to be "worst case scenarios". The Corps wanted us to
show them anyway. It may be years before plans for these sites are created.
(2) A modified map is attached that shows fill boundaries in Area 11.
(3) Deed restrictions were specifically addressed in my letter to you dated 6
February 1997. Future lot fill is addressed in number (1) of that letter. I believe our
intent and commitment are clear as stated therein.
As far as forested wetlands outside of development pods on the property are
concerned, my client intends to maintain these sites for future mitigation needs or perhaps
a "mitigation bank". Deed restrictions on these wetlands would unfairly infringe on
legitimate conservation interests of the owner.
Endangered Species Surveys • Environmental Assessments • Land Management • Wetlands Mapping and Permitting

This property is approximately 697 acres in size, with 172 acres of jurisdictional
wetlands. Approximately two-thirds of the jurisdictional area is forested, the remainder is
comprised of wetlands in old pastures and flooded gravel pits. My client would have
preferred to develop nearly all of the jurisdictional area. Nevertheless, we have worked
to produce a development plan that avoids and minimizes impacts to wetlands. Of 172
acres of wetlands, only 3.34 acres, less than 2 percent, are to be impacted. Of
approximately 115 acres of forested wetlands, only 0.01 acres will be impacted. We will
be mitigating all impacts to jurisdictional wetlands at the required ratios and with an
approved plan.
I feel that the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has failed to appreciate the
considerable time spent to develop a plan that minimizes impacts to wetlands. Rather
than create "dummy" plans that showed major impacts, we concentrated on developing a
plan that minimized impacts from the beginning. Instead of acknowledging this "novel"
approach, DWQ has treated us as if we submitted a 25 acre fill request. Mr. Ken Averitte
of your staff remarked on the low quality of the wetlands in the old pasture, a position
apparently contradicted by your letters of 26 November 1996 and 27 February 1997. My
client has no plans to fill any wetlands, other than those needed for utilities, beyond those
in this application. However, it would be most unwise for him to give up all rights to
applying for a permit in the future, when no firm development plans exist. Since any
future fill must be permitted, the issue of "forecasting" that fill now should be moot.
Please call to discuss further questions.

Dear Mr. Stites:
MI.WMA,
C) FE F:1
November 26, 1996
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into
3.34 acres of waters and/or wetlands located at Wads Creek and Little River in Moore County for
residential development. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses which would be
removed by this project. These uses are water storage, pollutant removal and wildlife habitat.
Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built
as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0506. Therefore, we are
moving toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0507(e). Until we
receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and/or the N.C. Division of Coastal Management place your project on administrative
hold.
Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be
constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters
and/or wetlands. Specifically your submittal does not show the location of the proposed fills. Also
we are concerned about the statement that you are unable to assure the Corps of Engineers that future
fill will not be needed. This conflicts with our rule concerning cumulative impacts [(15A NCAC 2H
.0506(b)( )]. Deed restrictions or conservation easements on all remaining wetlands would provide
the required assurance. Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can supply to
address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification.
Also this project will require compensatory mitigation as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h).
Your mitigation proposal is insufficient because you have not proposed restoration or creation at a
1:1 ratio. Enhancement will not be sufficient to meet the requirement of 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h)(6). Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to me and one copy to Mr. Ken Averitte at the Fayetteville Regional Office at Wachovia
Bldg., Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 28301. If we do not hear from you in two weeks, we will
assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
I can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.

Information needs
Proposed Little River Farms project
.DWQ # 960980
COE # 199701183
Moore County
The 6 February 1997 letter from your consultant. (Jay Carter)
as well as related conversations with him and the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers representatives have helped with our review of this
project. However some of the concerns expressed in my 26
November 1996 letter still remain. I have described the
information we still need below. This information will be needed
before we can make a decision regarding the 401 Water Quality
Certification which is required for the 404 Permit.
1. Please describe the impacts for Area 4, Area 28, Area 4,
Area 23, Area 23A and Area 14 as shown by non-shaded areas on the
"Little River Golf Club - Proposed Wetlands Permitting Map". If
these are proposed road crossings,-please provide a map at
111=100, (or larger scale) depicting these roads and the
residential lots that will be accessed by these roads. This
information is needed in order to decide whether additional
impacts to wetlands would be dictated by the location of these
roads.
2. Please provide a map at 1"=100"'(or larger scale) for
Phase I of your development showing lots, roads, and wetlands
with proposed fill lines. The acreage associated with each fill
will also be needed. The map of Phase I provided by Jay Carter
is not useful since the fill limits are not clearly shown.
3. As discussed in my 26 November 1996 letter, deed
restrictions will be needed on remaining wetlands to address our
concerns regarding cumulative impacts. This is especially
crucial for wetlands with significant water quality values.
I understand the dilemma you have regarding the uncertainty
for future development patterns but our concerns for future,
cumulative impacts still remain. Some agreement regarding future
lot fill will need to be reached. As you are aware, all
additional wetland fill will need to be mitigated.

4. Mitigation - Dr. Carter's conceptual wetland mitigation
plan is acceptable. The following questions will need to be
addressed in the final plan:
a) Will the proposed berm impair hydrologic
circulation in existing wetlands between the berm and
Little River? Would it be better to remove the excess
material?
b) Monitoring will need to be done for five rather
than three years.
c) Will the proposed march creation be ecologically
stable or will plant succession drive this area toward
a wooded wetland? IF a wooded wetland is likely in the
absence of extensive, long-term management, it would be
better to plant a wooded wetland initially.
Finally, I have enclosed a copy of our latest mitigation
guidelines to assist Dr. Carter in the preparation of the
mitigation plan.
Please call me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Q?
RECEIVED
FEB 0 719.97,
E"ON& ENTAL SCIENC69
This letter concerns our application for a Water Quality Certification (WQC #960980) to
discharge fill material into 3.34 acres of jurisdictional wetlands along Little River and Wads Creek
in Moore County, N.C., in association with the Little River Farm residential development. In
response to agency comments, a meeting was held onsite on 17 December 1996 with
representatives of the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and
the U.S Fish and.Wildlife Service.. Several telephone conversations were conducted with your
office in December and January, culminating in a meeting-with Mr. Ken Averitte and Mr. Pete
Coldwell in the Fayetteville Regional Office on 16 January. As a result of these meetings and
consultations, my clients have agreed to implement the following actions.
(1.) All deeds to residential lots containing jurisdictional wetlands as depicted on the wetlands plat
dated May 1996 prepared by Hobbs, Upchurch and Associates, and signed by Mr. Michael Hosey
of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers on 6 June 1996, and not slated to be filled pursuant to this
application, will contain a "deed restriction and protective covenant", the text of which is included
as "Attachment A".
(2) Approximately 3.34 acres of jurisdictional wetland will be created from uplands as depicted in
the figure in "Attachment B". The subject area is currently fallow pasture. The terrain is flat, and
is only a few inches higher than the surrounding wetlands. Approximately 3.34 upland acres will
be graded to the same elevation as that of surrounding wetlands. Spoil will be used to create a
low berm along the edge of, but not within, forested wetlands bordering Little River. The berm
Endangered Species Surveys • Environmental Assessments • Land Management • Wetlands Mapping and Permitting
will cross jurisdictional wetlands supporting grasses, sedges, and rushes northwest and southwest
of, and contiguous to, the created area. The berm will be made of compacted earth, and will
measure approximately 4 feet wide at the base and 1 foot high. Excess spoil will be placed on
uplands. The berm is expected to slow the drainage of surface water into the floodplain
immediately adjacent to Little River, thereby establishing wetlands hydrology in the created area
and enhancing the hydrology in some adjacent wetlands. The berm will also help retain
floodwaters that overtop it. The goal is to create a shallow freshwater marsh vegetated with
emergent wetland plants, but retaining some patches of open water (or mud during the dry
season). Historically, wetlands in pastures at Little River Farm have provided habitat to a wide
variety of migratory birds, including wading birds (herons and egrets), shorebirds (golden plovers,
upland sandpipers, pectoral sandpipers, common snipe), rails, marsh and sedge wrens, and marsh-
loving sparrows (sharp-tailed and LeConte's), as well as to a diverse assemblage of other open-
country birds and wildlife. Our proposal will replace wetlands with marginal hydrology with
wetlands that will retain water for much longer periods. Plantings in the created area will include
native wetland grasses, sedges, and rushes. The creation site will be monitored annually for 3
years in order to document the revegetation success and the establishment of wetlands hydrology.
An annual report will be submitted to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) each January. A
i
detailed mitigation plan will be submitted to the DWQ within 90 days of the issuance of the Water
Quality Certificate.
(3.) The owner of Little River Farm will covey a Conservation Easement or fee-simple title to
approximately 30 acres of forested wetlands along Little River, adjacent to the creation site (see
Attachment B) to a mutually agreed upon conservation entity. This agreement will be finalized
within 6 months of the issuance of the Water Quality Certificate.
Development plans for Little River Farm extend beyond a 10 year planning horizon.
Although we have attempted to anticipate future impacts to wetlands, we cannot agree that no
additional permits will be needed. In particular, the installation of underground utilities will
almost certainly lead to some degree of unavoidable impact. Forested wetlands occurring along
Little River, and not subject to restriction or conveyance in this Certification, will be maintained in
anticipation of future potential mitigation needs.
Please give me a call if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Dr. J.H. Carter III

October 24, 1996
PUBLIC NOTICE
LITTLE RIVER ASSOCIATES, Attn: Mr. Keith Stites, 886 McCaskill Road, Carthage, North
Carolina, 28327, have applied for a Department of the Army Permit TO DISCHARGE FILL MATERIAL
INTO 3.34 ACRES OF WETLANDS ADJACENT TO WADS CREEK AND THE LITTLE RIVER, near
Carthage, Moore Co. North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from
observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers: Plans submitted with
the application show the placement of earthen fill material into 3.43 acres of wetlands adjacent to Wads
Creek and the Little River. The purpose of the work is to construct a residential subdivision, including fill
for road crossings, driveways, and residential lots. Plans showing the work are included with this public
notice.
The wetland areas proposed to be filled are non-forested abandoned pasture, dominated by
herbaceous species including Juncus ffe usus, Carex §M., Cypeus g2p., Scir us cyperinus, Diodia
virginiana, and Andropogon virginicus. Soils are mapped as Wahadkee loam, Tetotum silt loam, and
Mayodan fine sandy loam. During the properties 55 plus years as a farm, the wetland areas proposed to
be filled have been altered by plowing, minimal filling, and minimal ditching. The areas are adjacent to
portions of Wads Creek and the Little River which have previously been channelized.
Cv.ea-(c. /"sivv-e-
To mitigate for wetland impacts the applicant has proposed to enhanee existing jurisdictional
wetlands on the site at a 2:1 ratio (6.7 acres) by plugging existing ditches and/or building low berms to
lengthen the hydroperiod. They have not proposed any tree or shrub planting. They contend that the
herbaceous wetlands on site provide a unique wetland habitat for the sandhills area, and alteration of this
area beyond the extension of the hydroperiod would adversely affect this unique habitat.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to
obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the
coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a
DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has
determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.
1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public
hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the
reasons for holding a public hearing.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899
(33 U.S.C. 403). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice,
that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.

J
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic
Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for
inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in
the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource
investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by
work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will
affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts,
including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest.
Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which
reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably
foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under
which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing
process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important
resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the
cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain
values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion,
recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production,
mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the
people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the
Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines
that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies
and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order,to consider and evaluate the impacts of
this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to
determine whether to issue, mode , condition or deny a permitl'or this proposal -To make this decision,
comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general
environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the
preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the
need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not be made
until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State
certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The
application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the
NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of
the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Salisbury
Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any
2
I
person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification
should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality(NCDWQ), 4401 Reedy
Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27607, on or before November 15, 1996, Attention: Mr. John
Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office,
Attention: Mr. Michael Hosey, until 4:15 p.m., November 22, 1996, or telephone [phone].

Enclosed is the Individual Permit for residential development at Little River Farm, near
Carthage, Moore County, N.C. As you recommended, the developer has tried to "forecast" 404
permit needs for the entire project in order to make this application as complete as possible. The
residential development will be in "pods", which generally will be developed 1 at a time. Some
pods will not be developed for several years, and the layout within the pods is subject to change.
Therefore, we cannot assure the Corps that additional permits or permit modifications will not be
needed.
All jurisdictional areas.to be filled are currently non-forested abandoned pasture. Most of
the pasture has been ditched, filled, and/or plowed over the last 55+ years, such that the natural
hydrology has been seriously altered. The portion of Wad's Creek that passes through the
pasture complex was channelized approximately 40 years ago. Little River from just above its
confluence with Wad's Creek to the east property boundary has been channelized also. Wetlands
that will be impacted are dominated by herbaceous species such as rush (Juncus effusus), sedges
(Carex spp. and Cyperus spp.), wool-grass (Scirpus cyperinus), diodia (Diodia virginiana), and
broom sedge (Andropogon virginicus). Soils are predominantly Wehadkee loam, Tetotum silt
loam, and Mayodan fine sandy loam.
The developer proposes to mitigate impacts to jurisdictional wetlands by enhancing
existing jurisdictional wetlands on the site at a 2:1 ratio (or 6.7 acres) by plugging existing
ditches and/or building low berms to lengthen the hydroperiod on the mitigated acres. A
monitoring plan will be developed with the N.C. Division of Water Quality. No trees or shrub
plantings are proposed. The herbaceous wetlands on the site, though not natural, provide a
Endangered Species Surveys - Environmental Assessments - Land Management - Wetlands Mapping and Permitting

unique wetland habitat for the Sandhills area, and species of plants, invertebrates, and migratory
birds that occur there would be adversely affected by conversion to forested wetlands.
Potential archeological issues have been addressed with Corps staff, and the area
identified by the Corps as having potential cultural/historical interests has been excluded from
this permit application.
A thorough protected species survey was conducted of the entire property in 1994, with
negative results. We do not believe additional field work is justified based on the results of this
earlier survey.
Please contact me with any questions.

PUBLIC NOTICE
LITTLE RIVER ASSOCIATES, Attn: Mr. Keith Stites, 886 McCaskill Road, Carthage, North
Carolina, 28327, have applied for a Department of the Army Permit TO DISCHARGE FILL MATERIAL
INTO 3.34 ACRES OF WETLANDS ADJACENT TO WADS CREEK AND THE LITTLE RIVER, near
Carthage, Moore Co. North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from
observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with
the application show the placement of earthen fill material into 3.43 acres of wetlands adjacent to Wads
Creek and the Little River. The purpose of the work is to construct a residential subdivision, including fill
for road crossings, driveways, and residential lots. Plans showing the work are included with this public
notice.
The wetland areas proposed to be filled are non-forested abandoned pasture, dominated by
herbaceous species including Juncus ffe usus, arex s§., Cyl2erus sue, S is rpus cyoerinus, Diodia
virginiana, and Andropogon virginicus. Soils are mapped as Wahadkee loam, Tetotum silt loam, and
Mayodan fine sandy loam. During the properties 55 plus years as a farm, the wetland areas proposed to
be filled have been altered by plowing, minimal filling, and minimal ditching. The areas are adjacent to
portions of Wads Creek and the Little River which have previously been channelized. r,
To mitigate for wetland impacts the applicant has proposed to enhance existing jurisdictional
wetlands on the site at a 2:1 ratio (6.7 acres) by plugging existing ditches and/or building low berms to r?
lengthen the hydroperiod. They have not proposed any tree or shrub planting. They contend that the
herbaceous wetlands on site provide a unique wetland habitat for the sandhills area, and alteration of this
area beyond the extension of the hydroperiod would adversely affect this unique habitat.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to
obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the
coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a
DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has
determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.
1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public
hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the
reasons for holding a public hearing.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899
(33 U.S.C. 403). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice,
that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.

The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic
Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for
inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in
the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource
investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by
work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will
affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts,
including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest.
Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which
reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably
foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under
which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing
process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important
resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the
cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain
values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion,
recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production,
mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the
people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the
Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines
that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies
and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of
this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to
determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision,
comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general
environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the
preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the
need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not be made
until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State
certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The
application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the
NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of
the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Salisbury
Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any
' r
? L
person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
