The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show a fill causeway/bridge 760-feet-long and 90-feet (bottom width) constructed to provide vehicular access from the mainland of Heronwood Development to an island offshore. The island, currently undeveloped, is to be incorporated into the residential development of Heronwood. Sides of the causeway are to be stabilized by silt fencing, grassing, and granite riprap. The 75-foot-long bridge is to be constructed within the fill causeway. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards of fill material is to be placed below the normal pool elevation (760.0 feet). The benthic substrate of the lake is composed of clay material, and no aquatic or wetland vegetation will be filled as a result of this work. This project had been previously reviewed and on October 6, 1983, a Department of the Army permit was issued to the Heronwood Associates to construct this causeway and bridge. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. 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 permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North Carolina Council of State. e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66). -2- The requested Department of the Army permit will be denied if any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No Department of the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) 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. 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 worksite 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 has determined, based on a review of data furnished by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not 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, flood plain values, 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 -3- 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. Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM 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 permit serves as application to the DEM 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 Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after December 1, 1987. 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 Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before November 25, 1987, Attention: Mr. William Mills. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Hugh Heine, until 4:15 p.m., November 23, 1987, or telephone (919) 343-4725.

This notice was received by the office of the Lake Norman Marine Commission (LNMC) prior to its meeting of October 26, 1987, and was called to the attention of commissioners at that meeting. Due to limited notice and lack of information no action was taken. Our next meeting is scheduled for November 23, 1987, at 7:30 P.M. (after the deadline for comments as stated in the notice). Local media, in reporting on LNMC, publicized the notice, and since that time we have had numerous calls from private citizens, other media and public officials seeking details. Since no applications have been made to the LNMC, and since we are without even basic information, we request that further explanation be made before your agency takes action. At this point, the procedure is publicly unsatisfactory in that the PUBLIC NOTICE begs attention without supplying information, and the citations and reference contained in the notice add to the confusion, resulting in mistrust of the system. . In general, Lake Norman has experienced intense growth in the past fifteen years, and many citizens fear and reasonably question additional growth without adequate preparation and facilities. No agency has supplied data to show the impact of this project and the public appears concerned that no data has been compiled. The public is relying on your agency for protection and for information, and obviously feels a need to express their concerns to you and to hear from you the possible steps taken for protection of the lake. LNMC believes that a locally convened public hearing is the best way to address public concerns, and has had an established policy for more than ten years to insist upon protection of the PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO KNOW. I have polled my commission, who represent the four counties bordering on Lake Norman and the policy is unanimously affirmed. Mr. Hugh Heine November 20, 1987 Page 2 At this point, LNM C has not expressed a position on the current proposal, and maintains a neutral position on the merits of the matter so it can be impartial to act or advise when officially involved; however, we believe it is not practicable for delegations of private interests to be expected to travel hundreds of miles to Raleigh or Wilmington to address a local public issue. It is also not practicable to expect private concerned citizens (without reliable sources of information) to address such concerns in writing and in detail to a distant governmental agency. LNMC urges that you give this request for a local forum serious consideration, and if we can assist your agency in any way we will make every effort to do so. Yours very truly, LAKE NORMAN MARINE COMMISSION Robert N. Randall, Chairman RNR/tmb Copy: North Carolina Division of Environmental Management P. 0.

Enclosed is the application of Heronwood Associates, represented by Mr. James Jennings, for a Department of the Army permit and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill material in Lake Norman to construct a causeway at Heronwood, near Troutman, Iredell County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations. We are considering authorization of the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived. In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after receipt of a request for certification is considered a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if your office has not acted on the request by December 21, 1987, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

The purpose of this letter is vehement objection to the proposed causeway across an area that nearby neig ors of Heronwood refer to as "the cut" and the reasons are as follows: 1. As proposed, the causeway would restrict virtually all boat traffic through the existing "cut" thereby causing the balance of the Lake in this particular area to be even more crowded with boat traffic. The north/south channel connecting Bill's Marina and the upper reaches of the Catawba River to the north with the Highway 150 bridge area on the south is heavily used by boaters and the "cut" is an acceptable boating detour from the main channel of the Lake which alleviates boating congestion. In summary, basic boating safety caused by more boats in a concentrated area is my first objection. 2. Fishing along the "cut" is excellent and it is a major hatching area for crappie and bass in the spring, particularly along the points. In my opinion, a causeway would be detrimental to fish habitat. 3. If for some reason, the request for a bridge should be granted, it should certainly be with two stipulations: a. As a part of the approval for a bridge, approval should also include the site plan for development of the island as well as pertinent utility information including water and sewer. b. Bridge construction should not be as proposed but instead, should incorporate long spans so that boat traffic is minimally affected. r 'L -2- I would appreciate notice of any future meetings or any changes of plans or specifications.

Box 27687 ihlj? Raleigh, NC 27611-7687 S 4 REF: Public Notice SAWC088-N-049-0025 Dear Mr. Mills: As a concerned resident of Lake Norman, I am writing in response to Heronwood Associates application for a fill causeway and bridge; to provide access to a mid-channel island. I am extremely opposed to this project, as I believe it would severely effect the recreational quality of the lake, as well as cause deterioration of water quality, and boating. safety. Unlike the more open areas of Lake Norman to the South, the adjacent lake channels to the Heronwood property are very narrow, and should be considered as river, rather than lake frontage. As boating congestion has already become a problem in this end of the lake, development of a mid-channel island should not ever be considered. As the bridge is proposed, it would all but eliminate boating traffic on one side of the island, which is now, heavily used. From an environmental standpoint, the bridge and fill areas will have a detrimental impact on the quality of fishing, by destroying a major spring spawning ground for Crappie and Bass. Like other residents of the northern end of Lake Norman, I am very concerned about boating congestion, water quality and safety; because of the very limited surface area of the lake. Lake Norman is much too precious an asset for North Carolina to be ruined by poor planning, and overdevelopment. r Sincereary,, f P' Z 4,- P//er T. Wilson PTW:sr cc: r.

NGV20198? As a nearby resident, I object to the Heronwood Associates proposed bridge on Lake Norman, which you now have under review. This private bridge sets an undesirable precedent which can spread to other islands within the lake. Proliferation of such construction will damage the visual beauty as well as the economic viability of surrounding proper- ties. A better approach to the development of this island, and others like it, would be to establish a mainland dock which the owners would use to get to their island home. True island living! Please know that there is going to be considerable opposition to this type of private bridge development. Sincerely, I/V Ort &VAt H.

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show a fill causeway/bridge 760-feet-long and 90-feet (bottom width) constructed to provide vehicular access from the mainland of Heronwood Development to an island offshore. The island, currently undeveloped, is to be incorporated into the residential development of Heronwood. Sides of the causeway are to be stabilized by silt fencing, grassing, and granite riprap. The 75-foot-long bridge is to be constructed within the fill causeway. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards of fill material is to be placed below the normal pool elevation (760.0 feet). The benthic substrate of the lake is composed of clay material, and no aquatic or wetland vegetation will be filled as a result of this work. This project had been previously reviewed and on October 6, 1983, a Department of the Army permit was issued to the Heronwood Associates to construct this causeway and bridge. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. 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 permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North Carolina Council of State. e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66). -2- The requested Department of the Army permit will be denied if any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No Department of the Army permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) 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. 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 worksite 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 has determined, based on a review of data furnished by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not 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, flood plain values, 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 -3- 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. Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM 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 permit serves as application to the DEM 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 Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after December 1, 1987. 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 Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before November 25, 1987, Attention: Mr. William Mills. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Hugh Heine, until 4:15 p.m., November 23, 1987, or telephone'(919) 343-4725. f -/- ?o \ d IREDELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA AUGUST 27,1987 PROPOSED HERONWOOD CAUSEWAY OVER LAKE NORMAN (CATAWBA RIVER) TO 23.5 ACRE ISLAND IN FALLSTOWN TOWNSHIP APPLICATION BY : HERONWOOD ASSOCIATES 188 N.MAIN ST., NOORESVILLE,NC 28115 SHEET I OF 3 SOURCE : ei' ENLARGED MUNICIPAL AND SUBURBAN AREAS IREDELL COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA "WOM"I.

Rex Gleason` SUBJECT: 401 Certification Construction of a Fill Causeway/Bridge Heronwood Associates Iredell County, North Carolina This Office has reviewed the Public Notice (dated October 22, 1987) and other material received on November 6, 1987, pertaining to the subject project. Based on our review, we do not foresee any long term or irreversible impact resulting from the construction. There will be disturbance of fish/wildlife habitats in the immediate area of construction, however, this should not be of significance. It should be noted that a similar proposal was reviewed in 1983. Comments were submitted to Bob Teulings via memo dated March 3, 1983. At that time we also had no objections to the project. If you have questions regarding this matter, please advise. DRG:se
