Please review this information in conjunction with the supporting data in the original individual permit application. The applicant has further reduced proposed impacts by repositioning the lake on the project site. In doing so the applicant has avoided the two largest wetlands on site and several additional hundred feet of stream channel. All remaining streams and wetlands on site will be preserved as before to prevent future impacts, however, additional streams and wetlands will be preserved now due to the decrease in impacts. The applicant has ended discussions with the Catawba Country Club regarding possible off-site restoration. Avoidance and minimization is an acceptable form of mitigation, especially in watersheds which contain endangered species and high quality wetlands. The applicant has minimized and avoided impacts to the maximum extent practicable while still meeting the project goals. These actions paired with the preservation proposal will mitigate for the loss of aquatic functions due to any permitted impacts. Please call with any questions that you may have.

Box 320 Denver, NC 28134 Subject: MacLeod Property DWQ 05-0007 Catawba County, NC Dear Mr. MacLeod: On July 5, 2005, the Division of Water Quality received your modified application for the proposed development of the subject site. It was noted that the ski lake had been moved to preserve the headwater wetland that was of concern. In doing so, the stream impacts were also reduced. It was also noted that you still propose restoring a stream at the Catawba Country Club as mitigation for impacts associated with the construction of the ski lake. In order for this office to conduct a proper review, a more detailed conceptual plan is needed. Be advised that once the conceptual "idea" has been accepted, a detailed wetland/stream restoration plan must be submitted prior to any stream impacts at the site. Until a mitigation plan has been submitted and approved, this project will remain on hold pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0506.

Streams: On-Site Preservation: Based on the overwhelming concern from the regulatory agencies about the headwater streams and wetlands, the design team and project proponent have designed two ski lake site plan alternatives since the original permit c " application was submitted in order to completely eliminate impacts to the resources everyone was concerned with protecting. Not only have we avoided these areas but we have buffered these streams and wetlands quite significantly. The revised plan reduces the length of the lake by 150 feet and positions the lake in a more perpendicular orientation to the stream as opposed to an absolute parallel orientation. We feel that the current proposed site plan reduces impacts to the greatest extent possible and protects those resources on site that have quality worth protecting. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission mentions that the lower portions of the stream to be impacted are geomorphically and biologically diminished due to livestock activity and I completely agree. Those portions of the streams are the only reaches being proposed for impacts under the revised site plan. I feel that the project proponent has now completely avoided the higher quality streams on the property and has minimized impacts to the streams of lesser quality. The ratios for preservation and restoration proposed were taken from the joint federal and state stream mitigation guidelines. The recommended l priority areas for channel preservation include streams in a watershed that is adjacent to, or within a unique wetland; streams in a watershed that is known to provide habitat for state or federally listed endangered or threatened species; and streams in a watershed that contain unique and/or high quality habitat (stream and/or wetland) that is adjacent or within an area experiencing a rapid increase in population or development trend among others. The Fish and Wildlife Service does mention in their letter that the } surrounding area is becoming developed and urbanized and I think we would all agree with that statement. I am proposing that the preservation of 3,153 linear feet of streams be accepted as mitigation for 721 linear feet of Corps impact. Even though a strong case could be made that some of the preservation serve as DWQ impact mitigation, none of the preservation is being proposed to off-set any DWQ impacts. The preservation areas will be included within the recorded Covenants and Restrictions for the development that will outline the common space rules and regulations and will be maintained by the Home Owners Association. An annual common space monitoring report can be completed to ensure the continual integrity of the preserved areas. Please see the attached Mitigation Map for a location of the preservation on site. Since Channel E flows through two lots this reach of stream is not being proposed as mitigation. Please see the attached tables for a summary of the ratios used and buffers provided on each stream segment. The quality of the streams preserved versus those streams impacted and the buffers offered along the preserved streams warrants a higher mitigation ratio for preservation. Off-Site Restoration: The 860' of off-site restoration will be conducted at the Catawba Country Club. This mitigation site is located within the same HUC Code (Catawba 39 03050101 Upper Catawba) as the impact site. Due to the concerns regarding run-off from the commenting agencies about conducting the mitigation at a golf course, we have revised the location of where the restoration will be conducted at the course. Please see the attached CAD file for the location of the restoration efforts. There will be 75 foot vegetated buffer on either side of the restored stream. The existing pond will be removed to allow for the restoration of the stream through the old pond bottom. More detailed restoration plans will be provided once the Corps, DWQ, and other agencies have approved the site. Wetlands: Hard impacts have been reduced to less than 1 acre therefore the North Carolina Division of Water Quality does not require mitigation. On-Site Preservation: I am proposing to compensate for the 0.79 acre of poor quality grazed (cows) wetland that will be impacted by dam construction with the avoidance and preservation of 0.84 acre of unique, high quality wetlands at the headwaters of the drainage basin on site. The average buffer width surrounding these two wetlands is 110 linear feet. Even though some of the commenting agencies had concerns with mitigating wetland impacts with a littoral shelf around the ski lake, I am still proposing to compensate for the 0.37 acre of poorer quality heavily grazed (cows) wetland that will be flooded by the ski lake with 0.04 acre (wetland within Lot 25) of wetland preservation and approximately 3.6 acres of littoral wetlands that will be created around the ski lake. This acreage was calculated by multiplying the 5200 linear feet of shore around the lake and around the two islands by 30 linear feet (the width of the littoral shelf) then dividing by 43560 (the number of square feet in an acre). The vegetation in Wetland 8 is completely composed of Tuncus effusus and has been extremely degraded by the cattle. I believe that the current size of the wetland has also been affected by the cattle in that it is larger than it would naturally be due to compaction of the soil and alteration of the drainage patterns through this wetland to the stream. The wetland impact is a secondary impact due to flooding: The littoral shelf will be a higher quality wetland and a more diverse wetland void of cattle. Pond: I do not agree with requiring an upland undisturbed vegetated buffer surrounding the lake. There will be a wetland undisturbed vegetated buffer 30 feet in width surrounding the lake. There will also be an upland buffer adjacent to the wetland buffer for lake maintenance of 10-20 feet. These two areas will allow for 40 - 50 feet of buffer that the property owners will not be allowed to disturb. The project proponent is only proposing 12 lots around the lake. These 12 lots consist of a total of 3,115 linear feet of shoreline with an average of 260 feet per lot. There are two large common areas surrounding the lake consisting of 1,725 linear feet of shoreline. One of these common areas is where the dam will be located and it consists of 1,500 linear feet of the 4,840 total linear feet of shoreline where no trees will be allowed to establish in order to ensure that the dam is structurally sound. So the dam itself makes up almost 1/3 of the shoreline around the lake mostly due to t the fact that we have re-designed it to reduce stream impacts and planned the lake in a more perpendicular orientation to the stream than previously. The two common areas adjacent to the lake consist of approximately 25 acres of woodlands. Half of the lots adjacent to the lake will require grading along the shoreline. The smallest lake lot is over 2 acres. There will not be 2 acres of manicured lawn adjacent to the lake. There will be trees and other vegetation immediately adjacent to the lake within the lots. Mr. Bob MacLeod will be able to dictate the amount of disturbance allowed within the lots and he has as much if not more interest in keeping the lake clean and free of pollutants as anyone else. Summary: Upon completion of the project and the associated proposed mitigation 4,013 linear feet of streams, 3.6 acres of littoral wetlands, and 0.88 acres of vegetated wetlands will be under some form of protective covenant. As almost all agencies have suggested a 7Q10 rate of flow will be maintained during the construction process and after construction. Temperature and dissolved oxygen content will be measured prior to construction commencement in order to ensure that the water released from the ski lake mimics those attributes that are currently characteristic of the stream. 1 ri %0 O N 0 F' In L U) 4- u n c O L 4 y" `I- 4- al.. 4- 4- o •O C) o o cm 0 0 ~ 00 00 't -D Lq (\I 00 .? c O 2 p 7i ~ + - LO LO .-i c3 0 4: c; ci . y O O O O o O V O O O O O O O O O O tZ a a kb o M L O d t\ O M O 0 \0 o c-i G\ 0\ a 00 0 %0 0 .0 .o Q s F S Q ? v w L L V t-I 0 0 o Cf o ^ f'- C C N N Lid O\ O? m r } Q } O O O ? ao 0 0 C*j q, 00 q 00 m V- %0 00 N ?.i N ` 1 00 N LL E E a O C O O O ~ t L1 AO M LL LL LL N L E Q Q co V D U- v c3 F- V F- c 01 O?

The stream restoration at the Catawba Country Club will be conducted on stream reach W and on a portion of stream reach LPfrom the enclosed map. The MacLeod Ski Lake project does not require any off-site wetland mitigation so we are not proposing any wetlands adjacent to stream segment W as a part of this mitigation proposal. Mr. Mickey Henson of Appalachian Environmental Services will continue to work with the Catawba Country Club to get approval to conduct additional restoration/enhancement work on the stream funded by the Club. These additional efforts could be conducting upstream and downstream of our proposed restoration area and will be conducted during the same time period.

This mitigation site is located within the same HUC Code (Catawba 39 03050101 Upper Catawba) as the impact site. Due to the concerns regarding run-off from the commenting agencies about conducting the mitigation at a golf course, we have revised the location of where the restoration will be conducted at the course. Please see the attached CAD file for the location of the restoration efforts. There will be 75 foot vegetated buffer on either side of the restored stream. The existing pond will be removed to allow for the restoration of the stream through the old pond bottom. More detailed restoration plans will be provided once the Corps, DWQ, and other agencies have approved the site. Wetlands: Hard impacts have been reduced to less than 1 acre therefore the North Carolina Division of Water Quality does not require mitigation. On-Site Preservation: I am proposing to compensate for the 0.79 acre of poor quality grazed (cows) wetland that will be impacted by dam construction with the avoidance and preservation of 0.84 acre of unique, high quality wetlands at the headwaters of the drainage basin on site. The average buffer width surrounding these two wetlands is 110 linear feet. Even though some of the commenting agencies had concerns with mitigating wetland impacts with a littoral shelf around the ski lake, I am still proposing to compensate for the 0.37 acre of poorer quality heavily grazed (cows) wetland that will be flooded by the ski lake with 0.04 acre (wetland within Lot 25) of wetland preservation and approximately 3.6 acres of littoral wetlands that will be created around the ski lake. This acreage was calculated by multiplying the 5200 linear feet of shore around the lake and around the two islands by 30 linear feet (the width of the littoral shelf) then dividing. by 43560 (the number of square feet in an acre). The vegetation in Wetland 8 is completely composed of Auncuseffusus and has been extremely degraded by the cattle. I believe that the current size of the wetland has also been affected by the cattle in that it is larger than it would naturally be due to compaction of the soil and alteration of the drainage patterns through this wetland to the stream. The wetland impact is a secondary impact due to flooding: The littoral shelf will be a higher quality wetland and a more diverse wetland void of cattle. Pond: I do not agree with requiring an upland undisturbed vegetated buffer surrounding the lake. There will be a wetland undisturbed vegetated buffer 30 feet in width surrounding the lake. There will also be an upland buffer adjacent to the wetland buffer for lake maintenance of 10-20 feet. These two areas will allow for 40 - 50 feet of buffer that the property owners will not be allowed to disturb. The project proponent is only proposing 12 lots around the lake. These 12 lots consist of a total of 3,115 linear feet of shoreline with an average of 260 feet per lot. There are two large common areas surrounding the lake consisting of 1,725 linear feet of shoreline. One of these common areas is where the dam will be located and it consists of 1,500 linear feet of the 4,840 total linear feet of shoreline where no trees will be allowed to establish in order to ensure that the dam is structurally sound. So the dam itself makes up almost 1/3 of the shoreline around the lake mostly due to the fact that we have re-designed it to reduce stream impacts and planned the lake in a more perpendicular orientation to the stream than previously. The two common areas adjacent to the lake consist of approximately 25 acres of woodlands. Half of the lots adjacent to the lake will require grading along the shoreline. The smallest lake lot is over 2 acres. There will not be 2 acres of manicured lawn adjacent to the lake. There will be trees and other vegetation immediately adjacent to the lake within the lots. Mr. Bob MacLeod will be able to dictate the amount of disturbance allowed within the lots and he has as much if not more interest in keeping the lake clean and free of pollutants as anyone else. Summary: Upon completion of the project and the associated proposed mitigation 4,013 linear feet of streams, 3.6 acres of littoral wetlands, and 0.88 acres of vegetated wetlands will be under some form of protective covenant. As almost all agencies have suggested a 7Q10 rate of flow will be maintained during the construction process and after construction. Temperature and dissolved oxygen content will be measured prior to construction commencement in order to ensure that the water released from the ski lake mimics those attributes that are currently characteristic of the stream.

The stream restoration at the Catawba Country Club will be conducted on stream reach W and on a portion of stream reach LP from the enclosed map. The MacLeod Ski Lake project does not require any off-site wetland mitigation so we are not proposing any wetlands adjacent to stream segment W as a part of this mitigation proposal. Mr. Mickey Henson of Appalachian Environmental Services will continue to work with the Catawba Country Club to get approval to conduct additional restoration/enhancement work on the stream funded by the Club. These additional efforts could be conducting upstream and downstream of our proposed restoration area and will be conducted during the same time period. VJ a. " d .4 m 3 - +' - E d i C5 ?

The applicant (R&L MacLeod Investments) proposes to impact 2,984 linear feet of stream and 2.04 acres of wetlands. The stream impact will consist of 714 linear feet of fill and 2,270 linear feet of excavation and flooding impacts. The wetland impacts consist of 0.79 acres of fill and 1.25 acres of excavation and flooding. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the stream impacts by preserving 2,300 linear feet of onsite streams with a 50 foot buffer on both sides of a 1,410 linear feet reach and a 50 foot buffer on one side of a 735 linear feet reach of stream. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the wetland loss with the creation of littoral wetlands around the shoreline of the lake. The applicant is also considering an additional j mitigation proposal which would potentially provide 2,500 linear feet of restoration/enhancement Hof stream channel and 2 acres of wetland mitigation at an offsite location on a golf course at Catawba County Club. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4, have the following comments on the proposed project. Approximately three quarters of an acre of the wetland loss will be to a good headwater system located at the origination of the main channel. This system is one of the better headwater wetlands we have encountered in the Piedmont physiographic province of North Carolina. Based on conversations with the applicant, in order to meet the minimum length requirements needed for a slalom competition ski lake course, there are no available options to reconfigure the proposal to avoid impacting this headwater system. Although EPA appreciates the fact the applicant has seriously looked at options to try to avoid this impact, we are still recommending the project be redesigned to avoid this impact. We believe it will be difficult to provide appropriate mitigation to compensate for the loss of this system. We do not believe' either of the 2 currently proposed wetland mitigation areas will provide an adequate replacement of lost functions if this headwater system is excavated and flooded. Due to the wake actions from the ski boats, we do not support the use of the 3 acre littoral shelf area for mitigation for impacts to any of the onsite wetlands and we do not support the use of the golf course pond/wetland/stream option as appropriate mitigation for this headwater system. EPA has evaluated the stream mitigation proposal numbers and they appear to be on the low side. In evaluating the numbers, we considered the stream fill impact to be to a good quality sticain (2:1) which left dir, icinai ing ul die impact (flooding) to a coInDlnatlon of both good and poor/fair quality streams. We considered the good quality streams to require a 2:1 compensation level and the poor/fair quality to require a 1:1 compensation and that the mitigation requirement be reduced by half for the' streams to be impacted due to flooding. We then used the mitigation activity compensation ratios in the Stream Mitigation Guidelines to evaluate the adequacy of the proposed mitigation. Even being generous with the mitigation activity ratios and allowing one half of the filling impact requirements for flooding impacts, the mitigation currently be proposed (onsite and offsite) is less than would be indicated by the Stream Guidelines. At the onsite meeting there was some discussion by the consultant that the golf course would provide a surplus / of mitigation but according to our evaluation this will not be the case. It is difficult to evaluate the proposal, at this time, because we have not actually sden the mitigation plan but according to our rough calculations, this project will require both the onsite mitigation and all of that proposed at the golf course. To further compensate for impacts we also recommend the applicant provide a vegetated buffer around the proposed lake. EPA has concerns about the proposed stream mitigation at a golf course due to the significant usage of turf chemicals (herbicides/fertilizers/pesticides) for golf course maintenance. For this reason, we support the use of stormwater treatment through biofilters, etc to remove some of the chemicals prior to entering the restored/enhanced streams. We would need to review the plans for restoring the stream through the pond before we can adequately evaluate that as a --viable option for compensation for wetland impacts. If it will essentially have the effect of turning an offline stream into an online system then we would not support this proposal. The stream would need to remain a distinct stream with riparian wetlands and then it still could be problematic if there are not offline stormwater controls. Although wetlands provide good treatment for runoff chemicals, if this wetland essentially became a treatment wetland for golf course runoff then, in our opinion, it would-not be appropriate as compensatory mitigation for wetlands impacted due to this project. We also recommend this project be designed to have a cool water, minimum flow (7Q10) release. This minimum flow should be maintained at all times, including during drought conditions. In summary, EPA recommends the project not be permitted as currently proposed. We recommend either reconfiguring the lake design or shortening the lake to avoid both direct and indirect impacts to the headwater wetland system. If the determination is made the above suggestions are not "practicable" alternative options, we recommend more appropriate functional y, 3 replacement wetland compensation be provided for the impacts to the headwater wetlands. We alsorecommend the proposed project mitigation proposal be supplemented to include vegetated buffers for the proposed impoundment. EPA appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project.

Box 320 Denver, NC 28134 t Subject Property: Proposed MacLeod Lake REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION Dear Mr. MacLeod: On April 18, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated April 14, 2005 to impact 2.04 acres of wetlands and 2,984 feet of streams to construct the proposed water ski and recreational lake. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project. Additional Information Requested: y 1. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) The Division believes that your proposed lake can be reduced in size and still be an effective ski lake in order to minimize impacts to streams and wetlands. In particular, we believe that the lake could be designed so as not to impact streams and wetlands upslope of Wetland B. This would reduce wetland impacts to less than one acre that would then no longer require wetland mitigation from the 401 Certification. This reduction in size of the lake would also reduce the amount of stream impact and mitigation. We have read the discussion regarding the need for a lake of 2000 feet in length in order to make it effective for water skiing but believe that an effective water skiing lake can be created with a length of approximately 1500 feet (as outlined above) which will greatly reduce the impacts to wetlands and streams. This reduction would eliminate the impacts to the highest quality wetlands on the site as well as high quality streams. 2. Compensatory Mitigation Stream mitigation: The proposed stream mitigation does not follow the ratios outlined in the joint federal and state stream mitigation guidelines.

In addition, we are uncertain as to the availability and practicality of the proposed mitigation site at the nearby golf course. Once the impact of the project is reduced (as outlined above), you will need to modify the stream mitigation plan accordingly in order to address these issues. Wetland mitigation: Littoral shelf creation has never been credited by DWQ as compensatory mitigation since the uses that these wetlands provide are very different from the uses of the wetland proposed to be impacted. DWQ staff believe that the minimization of impacts discussed above will remove the need for DWQ to require wetland mitigation. If wetland mitigation is still required by DWQ rules, a different wetland mitigation plan will need to be provided. Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing and Alan Johnson of the DWQ Mooresville Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ.

Location The site is located on the east side of Buffalo Shoals Road (SR 1003), approximately 2 miles north of its intersection with NC Hwy 16, southeast of Newton, Catawba County, North Carolina (35.6234445°N -81.0877766°W). The site contains tributaries of the North Fork Mountain Creek, which flows into the Catawba River. The Catawba River ultimately enters the Atlantic Ocean through the Santee-Cooper River system in South Carolina. Existing Site Conditions The property is approximately 123 acres in size and consists of wooded and open pastureland. The site contains headwater tributaries and adjacent wetlands. The stream channels and wetlands are adjacent to the North Fork Mountain Creek, which is located in the Upper Catawba River Basin (HUC 39 03050101). The main stream channel running the length of the property was determined to be a perennial headwater stream with varying degrees of quality. A portion of this channel (approximately 750 linear feet) has been impacted to due ongoing cattle access and lack of riparian buffer. This section was considered of poor quality due to the lack of aquatic habitat/life, presence of bank erosion, lack of sinuosity, and lack of riparian buffer. The upper reach and lower reach of the main stream channel (approximately 1,350 linear feet) was determined to be of good quality based upon the presence of a riparian buffer, presence of aquatic habitat/life, and presence of adjacent wetlands. There are two small tributaries (Stream D and E) to the main channel that are approximately 198 linear feet and 294 linear feet. Stream D was determined to be of poor quality due to its short length, lack of aquatic habitat/life, and lack of riparian buffer. Stream E was determined to be of fair quality due to the presence of aquatic habitat, moderate sinuosity, riparian buffer and its relatively short length. Several wetland areas are located along the main channel. Wetland E is where the main stream channel originates and is approximately 0.74 acres in size. Wetland E is considered a headwater wetland and contains the following vegetation: Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Holly (Ilex opaca), Sweetgum (Liquidambar styrac j7ua), Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Possum-Haw (Viburnum nudum), Silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Netted Chain-Fern (Woodwardia areolata), Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis), Microstegium (Eulalia viminea), Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), and Cinnamon Fern (Osmunda cinnomomea). The main source of hydrology in this area is groundwater with supplemented overland flow during rain events. This area has been relatively undisturbed and is considered of good quality. Wetland B is located in the pasture immediately adjacent to the main stream channel. This area is approximately 0.37 acres in size and is largely dominated by the following herbaceous vegetation: Juncus (Juncus ef?usus), False-Nettle (Boehmaria cylindrical), and Microstegium (Eulalia viminea). The dominant source of hydrology in this area is groundwater and overbank flooding from the main stream channel. This area has been disturbed due to on-going cattle access and is considered of poor quality. Wetland A is located near the southern boundary of the property adjacent to the lower reach of the main stream channel. This area is approximately 0.79 acres in size and has had some minor disturbance due to cattle access. Vegetation composition is similar to that of Wetland E. Dominant sources of hydrology for this area are a combination of groundwater, overbank flooding, and overland flow. This area was determined to be of good quality. Applicant's Stated Purpose The purpose of this project is to construct a 20-acre recreational and water skiing lake with an associated residential subdivision. The lake is considered a central amenity to the subdivision and will provide practice opportunities for competitive water skiers. Project Description The applicant is proposing to construct a dam on an unnamed tributary to North Fork Mountain Creek in order to construct an open water lake. The dam will be approximately 50 feet tall with a 25-foot wide crest at 3.5:1 side slopes. The trapezoidal base of the dam will be approximately 550 feet wide. The outlet structure of the lake will utilize a low-flow cool water design. Approximately 5,632 cubic yards of fill will be used to construct the dam. The applicant is proposing to fill approximately 714 linear feet of the main stream channel in order to construct the dam (Figure 6). The applicant is also proposing to excavate and flood approximately 2, 270 linear feet of the main stream channel upstream of the dam. Total proposed impacts to stream 2 channels associated with this project are 2,984 linear feet. The applicant is proposing to fill all of Wetland A (0.79 acres) in order to construct the dam (Figures 8 and 9). The applicant is also proposing to excavate and flood approximately 1.25 acres of wetland upstream of the dam. Total proposed wetland impacts associated with this project are 2.04 acres. The applicant is also proposing to construct an access road to residential lots located on the east side of North Fork Mountain Creek (Figure 5). The applicant is proposing to construct the road crossing with a bridge or bottomless arch culvert and does not anticipate any impacts to North Fork Mountain Creek. The applicant is proposing to mitigate for stream channel impacts by preserving 2,300 linear feet of on-site stream channels (see Figures 10 and 12) and potentially restoring approximately 2,500 linear feet of off-site stream channels. The applicant will preserve a 50-foot vegetated riparian buffer on both sides of stream channels B and C, which total approximately 1,410 linear feet of stream channel. A 50-foot vegetated riparian buffer will remain along the south side of Stream, A' which totals approximately 735 linear feet. Stream A is the property line therefore no buffer preservation is proposed on the north side of the stream. The applicant is proposing to mitigate for wetland impacts through the creation of 3 acres of littoral wetlands around the shoreline of the lake (Figure 11). The applicant is currently researching potential stream and wetland restoration opportunities on a golf course at the Catawba Country Club in Newton, Catawba County, North Carolina (35.6549383°N -81.3050312°W), which will be subject to Corps review and approval. The potential mitigation site is located within the same hydrologic cataloging unit as the impact site. The applicant is investigating the potential to restore 2,500 linear feet of stream channel and 2 acres of wetlands at this site (Figures 13 and 14). Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The receipt of the application and this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification.

RE: MacLeod Lake Project Catawba County, North Carolina Action ID No. 200530965 / DWQ 05-0007 Mrs. Jones: Attached please find an application for a Department of the Army Individual Permit to construct a 20 acre ski lake on an unnamed tributary to North Fork Mountain Creek in association with a residential subdivision. North Fork Mountain Creek is classified by the NC Division of Water Quality at WS-IV C (Index No. 11-97-(0.5)). The project area is currently either wooded or in pasture and has a residence within the parcel. Data such as Catawba County tax maps, U5G5 topoquadrangles, Catawba County Soil Survey map, and data forms are included for your reference. The quality of streams and resulting mitigation ratios were determined by the Army Corps during our site visit on February 1, 2005 and are reflected as such in this application package. The mitigation ratios for wetland impacts were also determined by the Army Corps in a February 3, 2005 letter and during a subsequent meeting with Amanda Jones on March 18, 2005. The construction of the dam will require 134 cubic yards of earthen fill below the ordinary high water within Wetland A (0.79 Acre) and 46,731 cubic yards of earthen fill above the ordinary high water within Wetland A. The dam and outlet structure impacts 714 linear feet of perennial stream (Stream Segment A- linear feet of poor quality stream mitigated at a 1:1 ratio and Stream Segment A - 534 linear feet of good quality stream mitigated at a 2:1 ratio). There will be 59 cubic yards of earthen fill placed within Stream Segment A (534 linear feet of good quality stream) below the ordinary high water and 4,153 cubic yards of fill above the ordinary high water. There will be 20 cubic yards of earthen fill placed within Stream Segment A' (180 linear feet of poor quality stream) jbelow the ordinary high water and 1,400 cubic yard of fill placed above the ordinary high water.

Janice Hildebran Loftin Tax Parcel ID=367904610503 1937 Buffalo Shoals Road, Catawba, North Carolina 28609-8029 Project Puraose and Need Mr. Bob MacLeod, the project proponent, proposes to construct a 20 acre recreational and water skiing lake for the purpose of developing a subdivision in Catawba County. The proponent needs the lake to provide the central amenity for the project. The lake needs to be long enough and wide enough to provide the competitive skier opportunities to practice their skills. The impacted streams will be diverted while the clean fill/pipe is discharged into the stream to construct the dam. The 714 linear feet of impact at the base of the dam will be completed concurrently with above the high water mark bank stabilization. The 50 foot tall dam will be constructed with a 25 foot wide crest and approximately 3.5:1 side slopes. The trapezoidal base of the dam is approximately 550 feet. The front of the dam (water side) will include approximately 275 feet of fill/pipe while the back side will necessitate approximately 439 feet of fill/pipe/rip-rap energy dissipater. Approximately 79 cubic yards of discharge will occur below the ordinary high water mark in the stream to be impacted by the dam. Approximately 134 cubic yards of discharge will occur below the ordinary high water mark in the wetland to be impacted by the dam. The outlet of the pond will utilize low-flow cool water design strategies. The subject stream is mapped as an unnamed intermittent tributary to the North Fork of Mountain Creek within the Catawba River Basin; it has approximately 80 acres of drainage. The NC Division of Water Quality has classified the North Fork Mountain Creek as Class WS-IV C Water (11-97- (2)). The subject stream has been assessed by the Army Corps using the Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet (USACE Wilmington, Version 06/03). There were three reaches of the stream classified as good in the upper reach, poor in the middle reach, and good in the lower reach by the Corps and are reflected as such in the application. The entirety of the stream has excess sediment load. The attached Impact Summary Table for streams describes each stream segment, the impact length, cubic yards of impact (where applicable), the quality of the stream, the mitigation ratio determined by the Army Corps, and the required mitigation. The wetland table describes each wetland, the type of impact, amount of impact, cubic yards of impact (where applicable), quality of wetland, mitigation ratio, and required mitigation. Avoidance and Minimization The proponent has avoided hard impacts to the greatest extent practicable by eliminating one of two previously proposed lakes described in the original Nationwide Permit application and by proposing to construct the dam with a low-flow cool-water riser-pipe structure. Impacts requiring discharges to Waters of the US are limited to the construction of the dam to create additional Waters of the US. All other access to high ground will be completed with spanning structures. This will include one road crossing to access the remainder of the property across North Fork Mountain Creek. The predominant impacts of the project to streams are secondary in nature. The proponent considered alternative development concepts and determined that the uniqueness of the current proposal provided the best potential for success. During the pre-development planning the proponent considered constructing two lakes on the project. Though more favorable in terms of economic returns one lake has been eliminated to avoid further impacts and because that parcel of land is no longer for sale. The lake is designed for recreation and competitive water skiing and therefore further reduction in size is not practical. The lake must be at least 2000 feet long and at least 250 feet wide to meet its intended purpose. Cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project are minimized through the reduction in scope and through design considerations including an engineered low-flow cool-water discharge orifice. Alternatives Analysis There were four other parcels that the proponent researched as potential parcels for a ski lake community. Information on two of these parcels is attached for your reference. The third parcel sold before it could be evaluated in depth. The fourth parcel is the parcel adjacent to the current site that is no longer for sale that was presented in the original Nationwide Permit application. The 250 acre tract attached as Parcel # 56262 is in Lincoln County. The proponent worked on this site for two years and planned for two lakes but could not get a conditional use permit through Lincoln County. We were scheduled to begin the wetland delineation when the proponent got word from the county that the zoning would not be approved. The 78 acre tract attached as Parcel # 5979176 is also in Lincoln County. The topography on this parcel was not suitable. Mitigation Proposal Please review the Impact Summary Table in conjunction with the information below while considering the mitigation proposal Streams: On-Site Preservation: Approximately 2,300 linear feet of streams on site will be preserved for mitigation credit. Please see the attached Mitigation Map for a location of the preservation on site. A 50' vegetated buffer will remain along both sides of Stream Segments 8 and C. A 50' vegetated buffer will remain along the property side of Stream Segment A. The property line on the other side of this reach is too close to allow for a 50' vegetated buffer. Off-Site Restoration: There is a potential mitigation site in Newton, NC that we are exploring to compensate for the remainder of stream impacts. We will explore the possibility of restoring 2,500 linear feet of degraded stream on this site. As additional information becomes available on this site it will be forwarded. The potential mitigation site is located within the same HUC Code (Catawba 39 03050101 Upper Catawba). Wetlands: On-Site Creation: Approximately 3 acres of littoral wetlands will be created around the ski lake to compensate for some of the unavoidable wetland impacts. t c Off-Site Restoration: There is the potential for wetland restoration at the same site in Newton, NC discussed earlier for stream restoration efforts. We will explore the possibility of restoring 2 acres of vegetated wetlands to compensate for the remainder of unavoidable wetland impacts. Within 120 days of the issuance of the requested permit and prior to the commencement of any work within Waters of the US the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a Stream/Wetland Restoration Plan in accordance with applicable guidance.. Within 220 days of the approval of the mitigation plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. Upon the completion of the project and the associated proposed mitigation 4,800 linear feet of streams, 3 acres of littoral wetlands, and 2 acres of vegetated wetlands will be under a protective covenant. As an additional mitigation measure as previously mentioned the dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge.

Specific plans and location information are described below and shown on the attached plans. This Public Notice and all attached plans are also available on the Wilmington District Web Site at www.saw.usace.artny.mil/wetlands Applicant: R&L MacLeod Investments AGENT (if applicable): Authority ??? P.O. Box 320 0 ? ? ? r=n Denver, NC 28134 D Wetland & Natural Resource Consultants, Inc. APR 2A 2005 217 Paragon Parkway, #142 Clyde, NC 28721 WETLANDS AN- WATER DSTORMWA'tERBRM The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Location ( The site is located on the east side of Buffalo Shoals Road (SR 1003), approximately 2 miles north of its intersection with NC Hwy 16, southeast of Newton, Catawba County, North Carolina (35.6234445°N -81.0877766°W). The site contains tributaries of the North Fork Mountain Creek, which flows into the Catawba River. The Catawba River ultimately enters the Atlantic Ocean through the Santee-Cooper River system in South Carolina. Existing Site Conditions The property is approximately 123 acres in size and consists of wooded and open pastureland. The site contains headwater tributaries and adjacent wetlands. The stream channels and wetlands are adjacent to the North Fork Mountain Creek, which is located in the Upper Catawba River Basin (HUC 39 03050101). The main stream channel running the length of the property was determined to be a perennial headwater stream with varying degrees of quality. A portion of this channel (approximately 750 linear feet) has been impacted to due ongoing cattle access and lack I of riparian buffer. This section was considered of poor quality due to the lack of aquatic habitat/life, presence of bank erosion, lack of sinuosity, and lack of riparian buffer. The upper reach and lower reach of the main stream channel (approximately 1,350 linear feet) was determined to be of good quality based upon the presence of a riparian buffer, presence of aquatic habitattlife, and presence of adjacent wetlands. There are two small tributaries (Stream D and E) to the main channel that are approximately 198 linear feet and 294 linear feet. Stream D was determined to be of poor quality due to its short length, lack of aquatic habitat/life, and lack of riparian buffer. Stream E was determined to be of fair quality due to the presence of aquatic habitat, moderate sinuosity, riparian buffer and its relatively short length. Several wetland areas are located along the main channel. Wetland E is where the main stream channel originates and is approximately 0.74 acres in size. Wetland E is considered a headwater wetland and contains the following vegetation: Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Holly (Ilex opaca), Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Possum-Haw, (Viburnum nudum), Silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Netted .Chain-Fern (Woodwardia areolata), Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis), Microstegium (Eulalia viminea), Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), and Cinnamon Fern (Osmunda cinnomomea). The main source of hydrology in this area is groundwater with supplemented overland flow during rain events. This area has been relatively undisturbed and is considered of good quality. Wetland B is located in the pasture immediately adjacent to the main stream channel. This area is approximately 0.37 acres in size and is largely dominated by the following herbaceous vegetation: Juncus (Juncus efcsus), False-Nettle (Boehmaria cylindrical), and Microstegium (Eulalia viminea). The dominant source of hydrology in this area is groundwater and overbank flooding from the main stream channel. This area has been disturbed due to on-going cattle access and is considered of poor quality. Wetland A is located near the southern boundary of the property adjacent to the lower reach of the main stream channel. This area is approximately 0.79 acres in size and has had some minor disturbance due to cattle access. Vegetation composition is similar to that of Wetland E. Dominant sources of hydrology for this area are a combination of groundwater, overbank flooding, and overland flow. This area was determined to be of good quality. Applicant's Stated Purpose The purpose of this project is to construct a 20-acre recreational and water skiing lake with an associated residential subdivision. The lake is considered a central amenity to the subdivision and will provide practice opportunities for competitive water skiers. Project Description The applicant is proposing to construct a dam on an unnamed tributary to North Fork Mountain Creek in order to construct an open water lake. The dam will be approximately 50 feet tall with a 25-foot wide crest at 3.5:1 side slopes. The trapezoidal base of the dam will be approximately 550 feet wide. The outlet structure of the lake will utilize a low-flow cool water design. Approximately 5,632 cubic yard o ll will be used to construct the dam. The applicant is proposing to fill approximate) 714 j ear feet of the main stream channel in order to construct the dam (Figure 6). The applic is also proposing to excavate and flood approximately 2, 270 linear feet of the main stream channel upstream of the dam. Total proposed impacts to stream 2 channels associated with this project are 2,984 linear feet. The applicant is proposing to fill all of Wetland A (0.79 acres) in order to construct the dam (Figures 8 and 9). The applicant is also proposing to excavate and flood approximately 1.25 acres of wet . d upstream of the dam. Total proposed wetland impacts associated with this project ar 2.04 res. The applicant is also proposing to construct an access road to residential lots loc _ on the east side of North Fork Mountain Creek (Figure 5). The applicant is proposing to construct the road crossing with a bridge or bottomless arch culvert and does not anticipate any impacts to North Fork Mountain Creek. t The applicant is proposing to mitigate for stream channel impacts by preserving 2,300 linear feet of on-site stream channels (see Figures 10 and 12) and po?ntial_ ly restoring approximately 2,500 r'9? f linear feet of off-site stream channels. The applicant will preserve a 50-foot vegetated riparian -'- )11+ buffer on both sides of stream channels B and C, which total approximately 1,410 linear feet of stream channel. A 50-foot vegetated riparian buffer will remain along the south side of Stream, A which totals approximately 735 linear feet. Stream A is the property line therefore no buffer preservation is proposed on the north side of the stream. The applicant is proposing to mitigate for wetland impacts through the creation of 3 acres of littoral wetlands around the shoreline of the lake (Figure 11). The applicant is currently researching potential stream and wetland restoration opportunities on a golf course at the Catawba Country Club in Newton, Catawba County, North Carolina (35.6549383°N -81.3050312°W), which will be subject to Corps review and approval. The potential mitigation site is located within the same hydrologic cataloging unit as the impact site. The applicant is investigating the potential to restore 2,500 linear feet of s stream channel and 2 acres of wetlands at this site (Figures 13 and 14). Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State' agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision until the North _? uu Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification j required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The receipt of the application and this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh serves as application to the NCDWQ i for certification.

North Fork Mountain Creek is classified by the NC Division of Water Quality at WS-IV C (Index No. 11-97-(0.5)). The project area is currently either wooded or in pasture and has a residence within the parcel. Data such as Catawba County tax maps, USGS topoquadrangles, Catawba County Soil Survey map, and data forms are included for your reference. The quality of streams and resulting mitigation ratios were determined by the Army Corps during our site visit on February 1, 2005 and are reflected as such in this application package. The mitigation ratios for wetland impacts were also determined by the Army Corps in a February 3, 2005 letter and during a subsequent meeting with Amanda Jones on March 18, 2005. The construction of the dam will require 134 cubic yards of earthen fill below the ordinary high water within Wetland A (0.79 Acre) and 46,731 cubic yards of earthen fill above the ordinary high water within Wetland A. The dam and outlet structure impacts 714 linear feet of perennial stream (Stream Segment A'- 180 linear feet of poor quality stream mitigated at a 1:1 ratio and Stream Segment A - 534 linear feet of good quality stream mitigated at a 2:1 ratio). There will be 59 cubic yards of earthen fill placed within Stream Segment A (534 linear feet of good quality stream) below the ordinary high water and 4,153 cubic yards of fill above the ordinary high water. There will be 20 cubic yards of earthen fill placed within Stream Segment A' (180 linear feet of poor quality stream) below the ordinary high water and 1,400 cubic yard of fill placed above the ordinary high water.

The application package includes narratives that describe the proposed impacts to Water of the US. Also, included in the narratives is an assessment of avoidance and minimization as well as a mitigation proposal for unavoidable impacts. An alternatives analysis is also included that describes the other sites that were researched by the applicant prior to contracting on the proposed parcel. k The applicant is proposing to mitigate for stream impacts by preserving 2,300 linear feet of streams on site and restoring 2,500 linear feet of streams off site. Wetland impacts will be mitigated through the creation of 3 acres of littoral wetlands around the ski lake and the restoration of 2 acres of wetlands off site. The applicant is currently researching 6, conducting the restoration efforts on a site in Newton, NC. Additional information on this site will be forwarded once it has been provided to us. The ski lake will be stocked with game fish and will provide habitat for waterfowl and other aquatic animals and plants. There are topographical USGS maps, an aerial photograph, a soil survey, and mitigation photographs for your reference. Also included within the package are copies of data forms for the wetlands and streams that have been delineated and surveyed on the property. You will find wetland impact maps and a mitigation map within the application. Included with the package is a full size copy of the wetland delineation map and the wetland impact map for your review.

Janice Hildebran Loftin Tax Parcel ID=367904610503 1937 Buffalo Shoals Road, Catawba, North Carolina 28609-8029 Project Purpose and Need Mr. Bob MacLeod, the project proponent, proposes to construct a 20 acre recreational and water skiing lake for the purpose of developing a subdivision in Catawba County. The proponent needs the lake to provide the central amenity for the project. The lake needs to be long enough and wide enough k? to provide the competitive skier opportunities to practice their skills. The impacted streams will be diverted while the clean fill/pipe is discharged into the stream to construct the dam. The 714 linear feet of impact at the base of the dam will be completed concurrently with above the high water mark bank stabilization. The 50 foot tall dam will be constructed with a 25 foot wide crest and approximately 3.5:1 side slopes. The trapezoidal base of the dam is approximately 550 feet. The front of the dam (water side) will include approximately 275 feet of fill/pipe while the backside will necessitate approximately 439 feet of fill/pipe/rip-rap energy dissipater. Approximately 79 cubic yards of discharge will occur below the ordinary high water mark in the stream to be impacted by the dam. Approximately 134 cubic yards of discharge will occur below the ordinary high water mark in the wetland to be impacted by the dam. The outlet of the pond will utilize low-flow cool water design strategies. The subject stream is mapped as an unnamed intermittent tributary to the North Fork of Mountain Creek within the Catawba River Basin; it has approximately 80 acres of drainage. The NC Division of Water Quality has classified the North Fork Mountain Creek as Class WS-IV 4 Water (11-97- (2)). The subject stream has been assessed by the Army Corps using the Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet (USACE Wilmington, Version 06/03). There were three reaches of the stream classified as good in the upper reach, poor in the middle reach, and good in the lower reach by the Corps and are reflected as such in the application. The entirety of the stream has excess sediment load. The attached Impact Summary Table for streams describes each stream segment, the impact length, cubic yards of impact (where applicable), the quality of the stream, the mitigation ratio determined by the Army Corps, and the required mitigation. The wetland table describes each wetland, the type of impact, amount of impact, cubic yards of impact (where applicable), quality of wetland, mitigation ratio, and required mitigation. Avoidance and Minimization The proponent has avoided hard impacts to the greatest extent practicable by eliminating one of two previously proposed lakes described in the original Nationwide Permit application and by proposing to construct the dam with a low-flow cool-water riser-pipe structure. Impacts requiring discharges to Waters of the US are limited to the construction of the dam to create additional Waters of the US. All other access to high ground will be completed with spanning structures. This will include one road crossing to access the remainder of the property across North Fork Mountain Creek. The predominant impacts of the project to streams are secondary in nature. The proponent considered alternative development concepts and determined that the uniqueness of the current proposal provided the best potential for success. During the pre-development planning the proponent considered constructing two lakes on the project. Though more favorable in terms of economic returns one lake has been eliminated to avoid further impacts and because that parcel of land is no longer for sale. The lake is designed for r recreation and competitive water skiing and therefore further reduction in ? size is not practical. The lake must be at least 2000 feet long and at least 250 feet wide to meet its intended purpose. 1 go Cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project are minimized V through the reduction in scope and through design considerations including an engineered low-flow cool-water discharge orifice. Alternatives Analysis There were four other parcels that the proponent researched as potential parcels for a ski lake community. Information on two of these parcels is attached for your reference. The third parcel sold before it could be evaluated in depth. The fourth parcel is the parcel adjacent to the current site that is no longer for sale that was presented in the original Nationwide Permit application. The 250 acre tract attached as Parcel # 56262 is in Lincoln County. The proponent worked on this site for two years and planned for two lakes but could not get a conditional use permit through Lincoln County. We were scheduled to begin the wetland delineation when the proponent got word from the county that the zoning would not be approved. The 78 acre tract attached as Parcel # 5979176 is also in Lincoln County. The topography on this parcel was not suitable. Mitigation Proposal Please review the Impact Summary Table in conjunction with the information below while considering the mitigation proposal. Streams: On-Site Preservation: Approximately 2,300 linear feet of streams on site will be preserved for mitigation credit. Please see the attached Mitigation Map for a location of the preservation on site. A 50' vegetated buffer will remain along both sides of Stream Segments B and C. A 50' vegetated buffer will remain along the property side of Stream Segment A. The property line on the other side of this reach is too close to allow for a 50' vegetated buffer. Off-Site Restoration: There is a potential mitigation site in Newton, NC that we are exploring to compensate for the remainder of stream impacts. We will explore the possibility of restoring 2,500 linear feet of degraded stream on this site. As additional information becomes available on this site it will be forwarded. The potential mitigation site is located within the same HUC Code (Catawba 39 03050101 Upper Catawba). Wetlands: rr`? On-Site Creation: ?l' lr Approximately 3 acres of littoral wetlands will be created around the ski lake to compensate for some of the unavoidable wetland impacts. Off-Site Restoration; There is the potential for wetland restoration at the same site in Newton, NC discussed earlier for stream restoration efforts. We will explore the possibility of restoring 2 acres of vegetated wetlands to compensate for the remainder of unavoidable wetland impacts. Within 120 days of the issuance of the requested permit and prior to the commencement of any work within Waters of the US the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a Stream/Wetland Restoration Plan in accordance with applicable guidance. . Within 120 days of the approval of the mitigation plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. Upon the completion of the project and the associated proposed mitigation 4,800 linear feet of streams, 3 acres of littoral wetlands, and 2 acres of vegetated wetlands will be under a protective covenant. As an additional mitigation measure as previously mentioned the dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge. 03/21/2005 12:14 17044833570 MAULLUU UUNZD I muk, 1 4U11 ,ACLE0b CONSTRUCTION, INC.

Box 320 Denver, NC 28134 Dear Mr. MacLeod: Subject: MacLeod Property DWQ 05-0007 Catawba County, NC On January 3, 2005, the Division of Water Quality received your application for the proposed development of the subject site. The development plan included the construction of a ski lake, which entailed approximately 1556 linear feet of impacts to streams and 1.6 acres of wetland. Both will require mitigation. The following options are available for satisfying the mitigation requirement associated with this project: a) Payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), provided EEP will accept the responsibility for conducting this mitigation work, or b) Preparing and implementing an approved stream mitigation plan (stream preservation, enhancement, and/or restoration). Until we receive notice that the EEP has accepted responsibility or a mitigation plan has been submitted and approved, this project will be placed on hold pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0506. If you have further questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Alan Johnson at (704) 663-1699 or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at (919) 733-9721. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

First of all, I'd like to tell you about a new employee here in the Central Office. Her name is Laurie Dennison and as of Feb 1, 2005 she has filled the position Mike Horan vacated. She will be assuming the administrative duties he handled, including creation of new files, logging in of information into the Filemaker database, will be a member of our BIMS design team, and many other tasks. She has tremendous organizational skills and I'm really excited she's here now to help us get the house in order. She is getting up to speed very quickly thanks to Rob Riding's assistance. Unfortunately for us, Laurie won't be able to attend our annual meeting in two weeks due to a long-standing conflict. (Fortunately for her, however. Have fun in the tropics Laurie, and pity us poor fools sitting in a conference room during the gray days of February.) Below is the list of tracking and tardy projects for this week. The tardy projects are in bold and labeled as Tardy. Based on my anecdotal obervations of the file volumes in the cabinets, it appears that under our trial triage delegation the RO's are churning through the applications more efficiently than Central did. Please check over the list of projects for your region and advise me if you have not received any particular application, or if there are other project updates we should be apprised of in Central. Please continue to keep me in the loop on these files. Eventually when I get my old position filled, I expect to transfer some of my old duties on to the new person, once he/she has a chance to get through the learning curve.

Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.

A , pplic t/Agent's Signature' Date (Agen s signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.) i Pro iect Purpose and Need Mr. Bob MacLeod, the project proponent, proposes to construct an 18 acre recreational and water skiing lake for the purpose of developing a subdivision in Catawba County. There are no other property owners that adjoin the water body that will be impacted. The existing pond will be retrofitted with littoral areas and thereby provide diverse habitat for terrestrial and semi- aquatic wildlife. The proponent needs the lake to provide the central amenity for the project. The lake needs to be long enough and wide enough to provide the competitive skier opportunities to practice their skills. The impacted streams will be diverted while the clean fill is discharged into the stream to construct the dam. The 276 linear feet of impact at the base of the dam will be completed concurrently with above the high water mark bank stabilization. The 50 foot tall dam will be constructed with a 20 foot wide crest and approximately 2:1 side slopes. The trapezoidal base of the dam is 246 feet. The front of the dam (water side) will include 90 feet of pipe while the back side will necessitate 136 feet of pipe. Approximately 100 cubic yards of discharge will occur below the ordinary high water mark. The outlet of the pond will utilize low-flow cool water design strategies. The subject stream is mapped as an unnamed intermittent tributary to the North Fork of Mountain Creek within the Catawba River Basin; it has approximately 80 acres of drainage. The NC Division of Water Quality has classified the North Fork Mountain Creek as Class WSIV CA Water (11-97- (2)). The subject stream has been assessed using the Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet (USACE Wilmington, Version 06/03) based on prior land use and forested cover. The entirety of the stream has excess sediment load. The stream is generally in good condition. Hard impacts will be limited to 276 linear feet of streams and 0.396 acres of wetlands. Considered as an exemption, additional streams and wetlands will be single handled excavated to create open water at the upper half of the lake. Avoidance and Minimization The proponent has avoided hard impacts to the greatest extent practicable by eliminating one of two proposed lakes and by proposing to construct the dam with a low-f low cool-water riser-pipe structure. Impacts requiring discharges to Waters of the US are limited to the construction of the dam to create additional Waters of the US. All other access to high ground will be completed with spanning structures. This will include two road crossings to access the remainder of the property. The predominant impacts of the project to streams are secondary in nature. The proponent considered alternative development concepts and determined that the uniqueness of the current proposal provided the best potential for success. During the pre-development planning the proponent considered constructing two lakes on the project; see attached development plan (Original Plan) depicting the lakes. Though more favorable in terms of economic returns one lake has been eliminated. The lake is designed for recreation and competitive water skiing and therefore further reduction in size is not practical. The lake must be 2000 feet long and 260, feet wide to meet its intended purpose. Cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project are minimized through the reduction in scope and through design considerations including an engineered low-flow cool-water discharge orifice. Mitigation Proposal Summary: A portion of the wetlands and streams not impacted by the proposed development as well as those areas restored and created under this proposal will be preserved under a permanent protective covenant. Wetland impacts are below the mandated threshold for mitigation as required by the NC Division of Water Quality. Though there is no specific mandate for the mitigation the applicant will be off-setting the losses from flooding with the littoral areas that will be created around the existing pond and with the creation of the surface area of the impoundment. t Stream impacts can be separated into two separate classes that merit differing mitigation ratios based upon the effect of the discharge and subsequent flooding. Impacts resulting from the construction of the impoundment result in a permanent loss of waters while impacts associated with flooding result in a net increase in regulated Waters of the US. Potentially more faunal diversity will be achieved by the construction of littoral areas around the existing pond. Furthermore, the classification of the reach into two separate quality ratings based on site conditions supports that the mitigation ratios be adjusted based on the functional attributes of the impacted stream. The quality ratings further supports that mitigation is available, through preservation, downstream of the proposed dam and results in a functional lift that will increase stream quality. Mitigation for impacts will be conducted along the 100 series stream which is the stream below the existing pond. The reach is in the same drainage basin as the proposed impacts and is within the project boundaries. The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge. Proposal for Flooding Impacts: Impacts to 605 linear feet of stream will result from the flooding of a fair quality stream. There is currently a cow pasture within this reach of the stream. The stream is not fenced off from the cows and there are numerous access places within the stream where the cows actively drink and defecate. The flooding will alleviate sediment load from failing banks. Stream preservation is proposed at a 1 to 1 ratio for the flooding impacts because they are secondary impacts to lower quality streams. The low ratio is in consideration of additional mitigative measures such as design considerations and a reduction in project scope. The mitigation proposal for flooding streams is for 605 linear feet of stream preservation on site. Within 120 days of the approval of the mitigation plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. Proposal for Impoundment Structure Impacts: Hard impacts to 276 linear feet of stream and 0.4 acres of wetlands resulting from the impoundment, structure will be mitigated at a 1:1 ratio. The applicant proposes to restore 276 linear feet of straightened, ditched channel below the existing pond and to restore 0.4 acres of wetlands adjacent to this degraded stream. The applicant will also preserve 0.76 acres of wetlands on site. The wetland to be filled by the dam has also been impacted by the cows because they have full access to this area as well. The mitigation proposal for impoundment structure impacts to streams and wetlands is for 276 linear feet of stream restoration and 0.4 acres of wetland restoration on site. An additional 0.76 acres of wetlands will be preserved as an additional mitigative measure for impoundment impacts. Within 120 days of the issuance of the requested permit and prior to the commencement of any work within Waters of the US the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a Stream Restoration Plan in accordance with applicable guidance. It is anticipated that the plan will call for the following treatments and present the required technical specifications in support of the proposed work: Installation of J Hooks and Cross Vanes and other techniques to reduce erosive energy along steep banks on channel 100 • Establishment and/or protection of a 50 foot wide forested riparian buffer along all remaining streams • Removal of an earthen berm that separates wetland series 1600 from the adjacent channel which will both restore wetland hydrology and stream functions where they currently exist in a degraded condition. Within 120 days of the approval of the mitigation plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. Proposal for Excavation: The proponent proposes to preserve 1280 linear feet of streams as mitigation for excavation. Mitigation for the 1.2 acres of wetland excavation will result in the establishment of a littoral bench around the existing pond. The littoral area will be an average of 40-50 feet wide with an average depth of 12 inches at 15 feet from the shoreline. The littoral area will be undercut and backfilled with 4-6 inches of floodplain topsoil to provide an organic base for aquatic and semi-aquatic plants. The littoral area will total approximately 1.2 acres of wetlands. The mitigation proposal even though it is not assessed as an impact is for 1280 linear feet of preservation of streams on site and 1.2 acres of wetland creation in the form of a littoral shelf around the existing pond. Within 120 days of the approval of the mitigation plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. E Within 120 days of the issuance of the requested permit and prior to the commencement of any work within Water of the US the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a Wetland Creation plan for the construction of the littoral benches. Upon the completion of the project and the associated proposed mitigation 2161 linear feet of streams and 2.36 acres of wetlands and 1.5 acres of open water will be under a protective covenant. ?t! ! , _ ?i Y .c i w,. a r a r-? ca? rOr o Co 19 t _ ail; Icy' 4 k t ?Ns 1 ? ," ? sro ar1 ?, ?? • ,ara ? -1i I ?c= .:? \ ?' i ti?
