Box 668023 Charlotte, NC 28266 Subject: Carolina Golf Club Irrigation Project Dear Mr. Pifer: The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the subject project on July 19, 2006. Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has reviewed the application and the following information/comments are still needed by this office in order to complete our review: a) A stream restoration plan for mitigating the proposed.stream impacts. The restoration plan should include buffers, plant list, reference reach, and other pertinent information related to the proposed stream work. b) Clarification of stream impact. We have received the plans for the dam. The "blue print" indicates that the pipe is approximately 180 If. However, this figure does not account for the stream's sinuosity nor does it include the riprap dissipater. The dissipater relocates (replaces) a segment of the existing stream channel increasing the linear feet of stream impact. Based on our review, total stream impact for the dam and rip rap dissipater is approximately 3001f. Not the 167 If proposed in the application. Failure to submit the requested information by December 15, 2006 may result in the application being withdrawn from consideration. You will be notified and at that time you may re-apply for a 401 Water Quality Certification, however a new application and fee will be required. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(h), please be advised that this project will be placed on hold until such time as the requested information has been received. In addition, this office is requesting that the Army Corps of Engineers withhold processing the 404 permit until the requested information is provided. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Alan Johnson at (704) 663-1699 or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at (919) 733-9721. f? r' y' ?'? ?T n 1W 1 V I CR-3 Y l t 1006 r'?rl.uro.'?y?3fC!

Corps Action ID # 2006-32285-360 In response to your public notice dated August 11, 2006, as interested parties of the Pinecrest Community Neighborhood, we have concerns about the proposed irrigation pond for Carolina Golf Club, Inc. In reading your public notice and viewing copies of the area maps, it appears that the only concerns are those of stream mitigation. Our concerns are "how will this project affect this neighborhood?" Due to flooding in many of the surrounding Charlotte, NC areas, residents of the Pinecrest Community are very concerned about the possibility of flooding in our neighborhood. We feel that the seven acre pond proposed to supply water to irrigate the golf course greens, would eventually create a flood hazard to nearby homes during heavy rain storms. In addition to the maps we received from you of the Carolina Golf Club's property, we would like to receive a copy of a map that shows exactly where Pinecrest Community homes are in proximity to the proposed irrigation pond.

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. amiy.nii l/wetlands Applicant: Carolina Golf Club, Inc. Attn: Mr. Bobby Pifer PO Box 668023 Charlotte, North Carolina 28266 AGENT (if applicable): Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants L5 U D Attn: Mr. Chris Huysman D 115 Atwood Street, Suite 407 AUG 1 4 2006 Sparta, North Carolina 28675 Authority UENR - WATER QUALITY WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Location The proposed 7 acre irrigation pond is located within the existing Carolina Golf Course, located east of Steele Creek Rd, and west of Donald Ross Road, approximately 2 miles west of I-77 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (35.2154° North, 80.8983° West). The site contains an unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek in the Lower Catawba River Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03050103). The Catawba River ultimately reaches the Atlantic Ocean via the Santee-Cooper River system in South Carolina. Existing Site Conditions The surrounding land use is commercial and residential. The land use on the project site is a recreational golf course comprised of fairways, greens and tees. The site contains two existing ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and unnamed tributaries to Irwin Creek. The unnamed tributaries drain to Irwin Creek approximately 0.7 miles downstream of the proposed dam site. The stream channel in the proposed pond location is considered fair-good quality due to moderate sinuosity, stable bed/banks, size/diversity of channel substrate, and presence of stream invertebrates, amphibians, and fish. The channel was surrounded by a wide, mature riparian buffer until recently cleared for golf course improvements. Downstream of the proposed dam site, the stream channel flows into a wooded area that has been designated buffer mitigation by the City of Charlotte to mitigate the aforementioned riparian buffer impacts. A portion of this buffer mitigation area is being proposed as preservation to mitigate proposed impacts to stream channels on the site. The remainder of stream channels on the site are degraded due to culvert installation, ponding effects from downstream ponds, lack of riparian buffers, and nutrient inputs from golf course maintenance. Applicant's Stated Purpose The purpose of the project as stated in the application is to construct an irrigation pond to maintain existing greens, tees, and fairways. Project Description Development of the site will require grading the proposed dam site and the placement of fill to impound the stream channel. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull dozers, etc., will be used for the construction of the project. The top width of the dam is proposed to be 20 feet, and the side slope for the dam is proposed to be 3:1. The applicant is proposing to place fill in approximately 167 linear feet of stream channel associated with the dam construction. The applicant is proposing to permanently flood 1,800 linear feet of stream channel. The proposed irrigation pond is anticipated to supply water to approximately 70 acres of turf. Based on acceptable industry standards, a golf course of this size requires 630,000 gallons per day during dry periods. This total volume is based on a daily requirement for 9,000 gallons per acre which includes an evapo-transporation rate of 0.20 inches per day. The irrigation pond will eliminate the need for the applicant to purchase potable water from the City of Charlotte. The proponent is requesting a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the flooding impacts and a 2:1 ratio for the filling impacts. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels through onsite restoration of 2080 linear feet of stream channels and preservation of 1000 linear feet of stream channels on the site. Preliminary studies indicate that there are approximately 2080 linear feet of restoration potential disbursed amongst 5 stream reaches at the project site. The applicant is proposing to preserve all remaining stream channels and wetlands on the site through a restrictive covenant. 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 2 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. A waiver will be deemed to occur if the NCDWQ fails to act on this request for certification within sixty days of the date of the receipt of this notice in the NCDWQ Central Office. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the NCDWQ Central Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-2260. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 Attention: Ms Cyndi Karoly by September 11, 2006. Essential Fish Habitat This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial determination is that the proposed project will not adversely impact EFH or associated fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the National Marine Fisheries Service. Cultural Resources The Corps has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places and is not aware that any registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein are located within the project area or will be affected by the proposed work. Presently, unlmown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical data may be located within the project area and/or could be affected by the proposed work. Endangered Species The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the applicant and consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on available information, the Corps has determined pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, that the proposed project will have no effect on federally listed endangered or threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat. Evaluation The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concem for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the discharge of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, the evaluation of the impact of the activity on the public interest will include application of the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines. Commenting Information The Corps is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider the application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. Requests for a public hearing shall be granted, unless the District Engineer determines that the issues raised are insubstantial or there is otherwise no valid interest to be served by a hearing. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received by the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, until 5pm, September 11, 2006. Comments should be submitted to Ms. Amanda Jones, US Army Corps of Engineers, Asheville Regulatory Field Office, 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208, Asheville, North Carolina 28801-5006. 4 I 180.916 666° W 1 I 1 I 180.900 000• W I I I I 180.8B3 333° W I I I ?? z ? t U I r / : t_ 1 Y t i J? f 1.7?1rRd t xf ?-.Z' r "flqN s, c "F r LS" O?

Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the site are 35.2154° North, 80.8983° West. The site contains an unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek in the Lower Catawba River Basin (8-Di9it Cataloging Unit 03050103). Existing Site Conditions The land use in the area surrounding the project is commercial and residential. The land use on the project site is a recreational golf course comprised of fairways, greens and tees. The site contains two ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and a tributary that runs in to Irwin Creek. The unnamed tributary drains to Irwin Creek approximately Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants 115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407 Sparta, NC 28675 0.7 miles downstream of the proposed dam site. Specifically, the pond will be located within an area that has been recently timbered; the timbering allows for a new golf hole to cross in the vicinity of the proposed pond. Applicant's Stated Purpose As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide an irrigation pond with a volume of 24 million gallons to maintain existing greens, tees, and fairways. Project Description The irrigation pond will allow for the facility to have a sustainable water source for the approximately 70 acres of turf. Based on acceptable industry standards a golf course of this size requires 630,000 gallons per day during dry periods. This total volume is based on a daily requirement for 9,000 gallons per acre in consideration of an evapo- transporation rate of 0.20 inches per day with. The irrigation pond will eliminate the need for the applicant to purchase potable water from the City of Charlotte. Site constraints limit the placement of the pond to the proposed location. In order to achieve the volumes needed for the project the pond must be 7 acres in size and must be an average of 10 feet deep. No high ground alternatives provide adequate volume for the required water. Development of the site will require grading the proposed dam site, and filling necessary to impound the stream. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull dozers, etc., will be used for the construction of the project. Completion of the proposed project would require the construction of a dam embankment to impound water. The top width of the dam is proposed to be 20 feet, and the side slope for the dam is proposed to be 3:1. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels resulting from the placement of fill material associated with the dam totals 167 linear feet or 0.015 acres of stream surface area. The proposed impacts resulting from flooding streams total 1800 linear feet or 0.101 acres of stream surface area. Plans included with this notice show the overall proposed site layout as well as details of the proposed dam. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels through onsite restoration of 2080 linear feet of streams and preservation of 1000 linear feet of streams on the site. Mitigation Figures are attached to this application. Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State agencies for review.

Carolina Golf Club Project Purpose and Need Carolina Gold Club plans to construct a seven acre irrigation pond for the purposes of watering the fairways and the putting greens. The pond must be this size to provide 24 million gallons of water for the existing 70 acres of turf. The proposed pond is needed to hold a large enough volume of water to last five to eight days in drought conditions, and still maintain adequate flow downstream. Currently the two existing ponds located on the property do not have the volumetric capabilities required for the necessary irrigation to sustain live turf during drought conditions. Currently Carolina Golf Club has two small ponds located on the property for the purposes of irrigation. These ponds are shallow, and do not hold the volume of water required for the necessary irrigation to maintain fairways and greens on the golf course, during the late summer months, and drought conditions. The primary source of water for the ponds is ground water. The groundwater discharge into the pond is not adequate to maintain suitable pond levels for pumping. Based on statements from the applicant, it only takes three nights of normal irrigation in drought like conditions for the lower pond to be drained beyond use. Currently during periods of low rainfall or no rainfall for several weeks in a row, the ponds have to be refilled through the use of city water, bought from the city of Charlotte. Buying city water is not an economically feasible option. The golf course is just over eighty years old. The course has been relatively unchanged in those eighty years. The course is now attracting fewer and fewer players due to lack of changes, which in turn, takes an economic toll on the club. During the late summer months and in drought conditions, the course receives many complaints about the two existing ponds being drawn down to aesthetically unpleasing levels. A larger pond with a large surface area and larger volume, such as the proposed irrigation pond, would not show the effects of irrigation pumping as bad, thus making the aesthetics of the course more pleasing. Carolina Golf Club Avoidance and Minimization The proponents have looked to find alternate means to avoid building a new pond. None of the other options looked at are feasible for the purposes of the needed irrigation. Not only are the other options not feasible for irrigation, they are not economically practical. One of the options considered was dredging the ponds out to a deeper depth, thus increasing the volume. Based on the opinion of a hydrogeologist the underground water supply is not sufficient to keep the ponds full. Even of this were possible it would take a more powerful pump to retrieve water from the greater depths. The cost of buying new pumps and the increased energy does not make this option cost efficient nor aesthetically pleasing to the members using the course when they are drawn down for irrigation. Another alternative that was reviewed and found unacceptable was creating an off line pond in the low area near the location of the proposed pond. This alternative would not provide the needed volume since only 4 acres of low area is available. Theoretically, a dyke could be built along the banks of the stream and across the lower end of high ground, creating pond in high ground but the volume the volume cannot be achieved. An alternative that has been utilized and is not cost efficient nor responsible is the use of city water to keep the irrigation ponds full. On average, $30,000 to $35,000 dollars is spent each year to buy water from the City of Charlotte. In year 2002, during the drought, roughly $45,000 was used to buy water from the city. One particular time, pumps ran fifty- four hours and pumped $10,000 worth of potable water into the ponds. With the water restrictions Charlotte places during summer months and drought conditions, it is unclear how much longer they will allow the use of city water for irrigation purposes. From the prospective of the golf course management, they need the water in order to maintain live turf and to stay open for business, but do not want to be depriving the City of Charlotte of water during dry times. Carolina Golf Club Mitigation Proposal Summary: The proponent is requesting a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the f looding impacts and a 2:1 ratio for the filling impacts. 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 restrictive covenant in the spirit of the Corps guidelines dated August 2003. Stream Mitigation: 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. The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge. A final mitigation plan showing structures and their locations will be submitted to the Corps within 30 days of the issuance of the permit. The attached figures show the preliminary location of the reaches to be mitigated. Preliminary studies indicate that there are approximately 2080 linear feet of restoration potential disbursed amongst 5 stream reaches. Onsite Mitigative Treatments and Restoration Plan Within 90 days of the approval of the restoration plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language.

June 28, 2006 US Army Corps of Engineers Attn: Ms. Amanda Jones 151 Patton Ave, Rm. 208 Asheville, NC 28801 Ms. Jones: Attached is an application for an individual permit to construct an irrigation pond within the Carolina Golf Club. All of the following information is available in digital format and will be forwarded to you upon your request. Applicant Carolina Golf Club, Inc. Attn: Mr. Bobby Pifer PO Box 668023 Charlotte, NC 28266 Agent Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants Attn: Mr. Chris Huysman 115 Atwood Street, Suite 407 Sparta, NC 28675 Location The project, a proposed 24 million gallon irrigation pond (7.16-acre), is located within the Carolina Golf Course, an approximately 171.5 acre piece of property that is located east of Steele Creek Rd, and west of Donald Ross Road, approximately 2 miles west of I-77 in Mecklenburg County, NC. Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the site are 35.21540 North, 80.89830 West. The site contains an unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek in the Lower Catawba River Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03050103). Existing Site Conditions The land use in the area surrounding the project is commercial and residential. The land use on the project site is a recreational golf course comprised of fairways, greens and tees. The site contains two ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and a tributary that runs in to Irwin Creek. The unnamed tributary drains to Irwin Creek approximately Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants 115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407 Sparta, NC 28675 0.7 miles downstream of the proposed dam site. Specifically, the pond will be located within an area that has been recently timbered; the timbering allows for a new golf hole to cross in the vicinity of the proposed pond. Applicant's Stated Purpose As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide an irrigation pond with a volume of 24 million gallons to maintain existing greens, tees, and fairways. Project Description The irrigation pond will allow for the facility to have a sustainable water source for the approximately 70 acres of turf. Based on acceptable industry standards a golf course of this size requires 630,000 gallons per day during dry periods. This total volume is based on a daily requirement for 9,000 gallons per acre in consideration of an evapo- transporation rate of 0.20 inches per day with. The irrigation pond will eliminate the need for the applicant to purchase potable water from the City of Charlotte. Site constraints limit the placement of the pond to the proposed location. In order to achieve the volumes needed for the project the pond must be 7 acres in size and must be an average of 10 feet deep. No high ground alternatives provide adequate volume for the required water. Development of the site will require grading the proposed dam site, and filling necessary to impound the stream. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull dozers, etc., will be used for the construction of the project. Completion of the proposed project would require the construction of a dam embankment to impound water. The top width of the dam is proposed to be 20 feet, and the side slope for the dam is proposed to be 3:1. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels resulting from the placement of fill material associated with the dam totals 167 linear feet or 0.015 acres of stream surface area. The proposed impacts resulting from flooding streams total 1800 linear feet or 0.101 acres of stream surface area. Plans included with this notice show the overall proposed site layout as well as details of the proposed dam. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels through onsite restoration of 2080 linear feet of streams and preservation of 1000 linear feet of streams on the site. Mitigation Figures are attached to this application. Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State agencies for review.

The pond must be this size to provide 24 million gallons of water for the existing 70 acres of turf. The proposed pond is needed to hold a large enough volume of water to last five to eight days in drought conditions, and still maintain adequate flow downstream. Currently the two existing ponds located on the property do not have the volumetric capabilities required for the necessary irrigation to sustain live turf during drought conditions. Currently Carolina Golf Club has two small ponds located on the property for the purposes of irrigation. These ponds are shallow, and do not hold the volume of water required for the necessary irrigation to maintain fairways and greens on the golf course, during the late summer months, and drought conditions. The primary source of water for the ponds is ground water. The groundwater discharge into the pond is not adequate to maintain suitable pond levels for pumping. Based on statements from the applicant, it only takes three nights of normal irrigation in drought like conditions for the lower pond to be drained beyond use. Currently during periods of low rainfall or no rainfall for several weeks in a row, the ponds have to be refilled through the use of city water, bought from the city of Charlotte. Buying city water is not an economically feasible option. The golf course is just over eighty years old. The course has been relatively unchanged in those eighty years. The course is now attracting fewer and fewer players due to lack of changes, which in turn, takes an economic toll on the club. During the late summer months and in drought conditions, the course receives many complaints about the two existing ponds being drawn down to aesthetically unpleasing levels. A larger pond with a large surface area and larger volume, such as the proposed irrigation pond, would not show the effects of irrigation pumping as bad, thus making the aesthetics of the course more pleasing. Carolina Golf Club Avoidance and Minimization The proponents have looked to find alternate means to avoid building a new pond. None of the other options looked at are feasible for the purposes of the needed irrigation. Not only are the other options not feasible for irrigation, they are not economically practical. One of the options considered was dredging the ponds out to a deeper depth, thus increasing the volume. Based on the opinion of a hydrogeologist the underground water supply is not sufficient to keep the ponds full. Even of this were possible it would take a more powerful pump to retrieve water from the greater depths. The cost of buying new pumps and the increased energy does not make this option cost efficient nor aesthetically pleasing to the members using the course when they are drawn down for irrigation. Another alternative that was reviewed and found unacceptable was creating an off line pond in the low area near the location of the proposed pond. This alternative would not provide the needed volume since only 4 acres of low area is available. Theoretically, a dyke could be built along the banks of the stream and across the lower end of high ground, creating pond in high ground but the volume the volume cannot be achieved. An alternative that has been utilized and is not cost efficient nor responsible is the use of city water to keep the irrigation ponds full. On average, $30,000 to $35,000 dollars is spent each year to buy water from the City of Charlotte. In year 2002, during the drought, roughly $45,000 was used to buy water from the city. One particular time, pumps ran fifty- four hours and pumped $10,000 worth of potable water into the ponds. With the water restrictions Charlotte places during summer months and drought conditions, it is unclear how much longer they will allow the use of city water for irrigation purposes. From the prospective of the golf course management, they need the water in order to maintain live turf and to stay open for business, but do not want to be depriving the City of Charlotte of water during dry times. Carolina Golf Club Mitigation Proposal Summary: The proponent is requesting a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the flooding impacts and a 2:1 ratio for the filling impacts. 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 restrictive covenant in the spirit of the Corps guidelines dated August 2003. Stream Mitigation: 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. The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge. A final mitigation plan showing structures and their locations will be submitted to the Corps within 30 days of the issuance of the permit. The attached figures show the preliminary location of the reaches to be mitigated. Preliminary studies indicate that there are approximately 2080 linear feet of restoration potential disbursed amongst 5 stream reaches. Onsite Mitigative Treatments and Restoration Plan Within 90 days of the approval of the restoration plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. v• Q r J ??U` o?ye "I, -3J a Q `?

ENG FORM 4345, Juf97 EDITION OF FES341S OBSOLETE (Proponent CECW-OR) ___1 Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants 115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407-? Sparta, NC 28675 .t.: June 28, 2006 US Army Corps of Engineers Attn: Ms. Amanda Jones 151 Patton Ave, Rm. 208 Asheville, NC 28801 Ms. Jones: Attached is an application for an individual permit to construct an irrigation pond within the Carolina Golf Club. All of the following information is available in digital format and will be forwarded to you upon your request. Applicant Carolina Golf Club, Inc. Attn: Mr. Bobby Pifer PO Box 668023 Charlotte, NC 28266 Agent Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants Attn: Mr. Chris Huysman 115 Atwood Street, Suite 407 Sparta, NC 28675 Location The project, a proposed 24 million gallon irrigation pond (7.16-acre), is located within the Carolina Golf Course, an approximately 171.5 acre piece of property that is located east of Steele Creek Rd, and west of Donald Ross Road, approximately 2 miles west of I-77 in Mecklenburg County, NC. Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the site are 35.2154° North, 80.8983° West. The site contains an unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek in the Lower Catawba River Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03050103). Existing Site Conditions The land use in the area surrounding the project is commercial and residential. The land use on the project site is a recreational golf course comprised of fairways, greens and tees. The site contains two ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and a tributary that runs in to Irwin Creek. The unnamed tributary drains to Irwin Creek approximately Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants 115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407 Sparta, NC 28675 0.7 miles downstream of the proposed dam site. Specifically, the pond will be located within an area that has been recently timbered; the timbering allows for a new golf hole to cross in the vicinity of the proposed pond. Applicant's Stated Purpose As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide an irrigation pond with a volume of 24 million gallons to maintain existing greens, tees, and fairways. Project Description The irrigation pond will allow for the facility to have a sustainable water source for the approximately 70 acres of turf. Based on acceptable industry standards a golf course of this size requires 630,000 gallons per day during dry periods. This total volume is based on a daily requirement for 9,000 gallons per acre in consideration of an evapo- transporation rate of 0.20 inches per day with. The irrigation pond will eliminate the need for the applicant to purchase potable water from the City of Charlotte. Site constraints limit the placement of the pond to the proposed location. In order to achieve the volumes needed for the project the pond must be 7 acres in size and must be an average of 10 feet deep. No high ground alternatives provide adequate volume for the required water. Development of the site will require grading the proposed dam site, and filling necessary to impound the stream. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull dozers, etc., will be used for the construction of the project. Completion of the proposed project would require the construction of a dam embankment to impound water. The top width of the dam is proposed to be 20 feet, and the side slope for the dam is proposed to be 3:1. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels resulting from the placement of fill material associated with the dam totals 167 linear feet or 0.015 acres of stream surface area. The proposed impacts resulting from flooding streams total 1800 linear feet or 0.101 acres of stream surface area. Plans included with this notice show the overall proposed site layout as well as details of the proposed dam. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels through onsite restoration of 2080 linear feet of streams and preservation of 1000 linear feet of streams on the site. Mitigation Figures are attached to this application. Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State agencies for review.

LJJ O w U 2 I! 41 O U O :n - I; Z U W U3 U Carolina Golf Club Project Purpose and Need Carolina Gold Club plans to construct a seven acre irrigation pond for the purposes of watering the fairways and the putting greens. The pond must be this size to provide 24 million gallons of water for the existing 70 acres of turf. The proposed pond is needed to hold a large enough volume of water to last five to eight days in drought conditions, and still maintain adequate flow downstream. Currently the two existing ponds located on the property do not have the volumetric capabilities required for the necessary irrigation to sustain live turf during drought conditions. Currently Carolina Golf Club has two small ponds located on the property for the purposes of irrigation. These ponds are shallow, and do not hold the volume of water required for the necessary irrigation to maintain fairways and greens on the golf course, during the late summer months, and drought conditions. The primary source of water for the ponds is ground water. The groundwater discharge into the pond is not adequate to maintain suitable pond levels for pumping. Based on statements from the applicant, it only takes three nights of normal irrigation in drought like conditions for the lower pond to be drained beyond use. Currently during periods of low rainfall or no rainfall for several weeks in a row, the ponds have to be refilled through the use of city water, bought from the city of Charlotte. Buying city water is not an economically feasible option. The golf course is just over eighty years old. The course has been relatively unchanged in those eighty years. The course is now attracting fewer and fewer players due to lack of changes, which in turn, takes an economic toll on the club. During the late summer months and in drought conditions, the course receives many complaints about the two existing ponds being drawn down to aesthetically unpleasing levels. A larger pond with a large surface area and larger volume, such as the proposed irrigation pond, would not show the effects of irrigation pumping as bad, thus making the aesthetics of the course more pleasing. Carolina Golf Club Avoidance and Minimization The proponents have looked to find alternate means to avoid building a new pond. None of the other options looked at are feasible for the purposes of the needed irrigation. Not only are the other options not feasible for irrigation, they are not economically practical. One of the options considered was dredging the ponds out to a deeper depth, thus increasing the volume. Based on the opinion of a hydrogeologist the underground water supply is not sufficient to keep the ponds full. Even of this were possible it would take a more powerful pump to retrieve water from the greater depths. The cost of buying new pumps and the increased energy does not make this option cost efficient nor aesthetically pleasing to the members using the course when they are drawn down for irrigation. Another alternative that was reviewed and found unacceptable was creating an off line pond in the low area near the location of the proposed pond. This alternative would not provide the needed volume since only 4 acres of low area is available. Theoretically, a dyke could be built along the banks of the stream and across the lower end of high ground, creating pond in high ground but the volume the volume cannot be achieved. An alternative that has been utilized and is not cost efficient nor responsible is the use of city water to keep the irrigation ponds full. On average, $30,000 to $35,000 dollars is spent each year to buy water from the City of Charlotte. In year 2002, during the drought, roughly $45,000 was used to buy water from the city. One particular time, pumps ran fifty- four hours and pumped $10,000 worth of potable water into the ponds. With the water restrictions Charlotte places during summer months and drought conditions, it is unclear how much longer they will allow the use of city water for irrigation purposes. From the prospective of the golf course management, they need the water in order to maintain live turf and to stay open for business, but do not want to be depriving the City of Charlotte of water during dry times. Carolina Golf Club Mitigation Proposal Summary: The proponent is requesting a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the flooding impacts and a 2:1 ratio for the filling impacts. 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 restrictive covenant in the spirit of the Corps guidelines dated August 2003. Stream Mitigation: 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. The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge. A final mitigation plan showing structures and their locations will be submitted to the Corps within 30 days of the issuance of the permit. The attached figures show the preliminary location of the reaches to be mitigated. Preliminary studies indicate that there are approximately 2080 linear feet of restoration potential disbursed amongst 5 stream reaches. Onsite Mitigative Treatments and Restoration Plan Within 90 days of the approval of the restoration plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language.

The site contains two ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and a tributary that runs in to Irwin Creek. The unnamed tributary drains to Irwin Creek approximately Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants 115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407 Sparta, NC 28675 0.7 miles downstream of the proposed dam site. Specifically, the pond will be located within an area that has been recently timbered; the timbering allows for a new golf hole to cross in the vicinity of the proposed pond. Applicant's Stated Purpose As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide an irrigation pond with a volume of 24 million gallons to maintain existing greens, tees, and fairways. Project Description The irrigation pond will allow for the facility to have a sustainable water source for the approximately 70 acres of turf. Based on acceptable industry standards a golf course of this size requires 630,000 gallons per day during dry periods. This total volume is based on a daily requirement for 9,000 gallons per acre in consideration of an evapo- transporation rate of 0.20 inches per day with. The irrigation pond will eliminate the need for the applicant to purchase potable water from the City of Charlotte. Site constraints limit the placement of the pond to the proposed location. In order to achieve the volumes needed for the project the pond must be 7 acres in size and must be an average of 10 feet deep. No high ground alternatives provide adequate volume for the required water. Development of the site will require grading the proposed dam site, and filling necessary to impound the stream. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull dozers, etc., will be used for the construction of the project. Completion of the proposed project would require the construction of a dam embankment to impound water. The top width of the dam is proposed to be 20 feet, and the side slope for the dam is proposed to be 3:1. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels resulting from the placement of fill material associated with the dam totals 167 linear feet or 0.015 acres of stream surface area. The proposed impacts resulting from flooding streams total 1800 linear feet or 0.101 acres of stream surface area. Plans included with this notice show the overall proposed site layout as well as details of the proposed dam. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels through onsite restoration of 2080 linear feet of streams and preservation of 1000 linear feet of streams on the site. Mitigation Figures are attached to this application. Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable materials are being forwarded to the appropriate State agencies for review.

CALCULATION SHEET PROJECT: r FIGURE NO. CA P-O a /JA r n P- 4' C( TITLE: JOB NO. G .IZZ-40 SCALE: BY: DATE: l APPROVED BY: DATE: r D d Z Carolina Golf Club Project Purpose and Need Carolina Gold Club plans to construct a seven acre irrigation pond for the purposes of watering the fairways and the putting greens. The pond must be this size to provide 24 million gallons of water for the existing 70 acres of turf. The proposed pond is needed to hold a large enough volume of water to last five to eight days in drought conditions, and still maintain adequate flow downstream. Currently the two existing ponds located on the property do not have the volumetric capabilities required for the necessary irrigation to sustain live turf during drought conditions. Currently Carolina Golf Club has two small ponds located on the property for the purposes of irrigation. These ponds are shallow, and do not hold the volume of water required for the necessary irrigation to maintain fairways and greens on the golf course, during the late summer months, and drought conditions. The primary source of water for the ponds is ground water. The groundwater discharge into the pond is not adequate to maintain suitable pond levels for pumping. Based on statements from the applicant, it only takes three nights of normal irrigation in drought like conditions for the lower pond to be drained beyond use. Currently during periods of low rainfall or no rainfall for several weeks in a row, the ponds have to be refilled through the use of city water, bought from the city of Charlotte. Buying city water is not an economically feasible option. The golf course is just over eighty years old. The course has been relatively unchanged in those eighty years. The course is now attracting fewer and fewer players due to lack of changes, which in turn, takes an economic toll on the club. During the late summer months and in drought conditions, the course receives many complaints about the two existing ponds being drawn down to aesthetically unpleasing levels. A larger pond with a large surface area and larger volume, such as the proposed irrigation pond, would not show the effects of irrigation pumping as bad, thus making the aesthetics of the course more pleasing. Carolina Golf Club Avoidance and Minimization The proponents have looked to find alternate means to avoid building a new pond. None of the other options looked at are feasible for the purposes of the needed irrigation. Not only are the other options not feasible for irrigation, they are not economically practical. One of the options considered was dredging the ponds out to a deeper depth, thus increasing the volume. Based on the opinion of a hydrogeologist the underground water supply is not sufficient to keep the ponds full. Even of this were possible it would take a more powerful pump to retrieve water from the greater depths. The cost of buying new pumps and the increased energy does not make this option cost efficient nor aesthetically pleasing to the members using the course when they are drawn down for irrigation. Another alternative that was reviewed and found unacceptable was creating an off line pond in the low area near the location of the proposed pond. This alternative would not provide the needed volume since only 4 acres of low area is available. Theoretically, a dyke could be built along the banks of the stream and across the lower end of high ground, creating pond in high ground but the volume the volume cannot be achieved. An alternative that has been utilized and is not cost efficient nor responsible is the use of city water to keep the irrigation ponds full. On average, $30,000 to $35,000 dollars is spent each year to buy water from the City of Charlotte. In year 2002, during the drought, roughly $45,000 was used to buy water from the city. One particular time, pumps ran fifty- four hours and pumped $10,000 worth of potable water into the ponds. With the water restrictions Charlotte places during summer months and drought conditions, it is unclear how much longer they will allow the use of city water for irrigation purposes. From the prospective of the golf course management, they need the water in order to maintain live turf and to stay open for business, but do not want to be depriving the City of Charlotte of water during dry times. Carolina Golf Club Mitigation Proposal Summary: The proponent is requesting a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the flooding impacts and a 2:1 ratio for the filling impacts. 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 restrictive covenant in the spirit of the Corps guidelines dated August 2003. Stream Mitigation: 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. The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge. A final mitigation plan showing structures and their locations will be submitted to the Corps within 30 days of the issuance of the permit. The attached figures show the preliminary location of the reaches to be mitigated. Preliminary studies indicate that there are approximately 2080 linear feet of restoration potential disbursed amongst 5 stream reaches. Onsite Mitigative Treatments and Restoration Plan Within 90 days of the approval of the restoration plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. 00 l E ((y l?rt ` .J t,?

Attn: Mr. Bobby Pifer PO Box 668023 Charlotte, NC 28266 Agent Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants Attn: Mr. Chris Huysman 115 Atwood Street, Suite 407 Sparta, NC 28675 Location The project, a proposed 24 million gallon irrigation pond (7.16-acre), is located within the Carolina Golf Course, an approximately 171.5 acre piece of property that is located east of Steele Creek Rd, and west of Donald Ross Road, approximately 2 miles west of I-77 in Mecklenburg County, NC. Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the site are 35.21540 North, 80.89830 West. The site contains an unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek in the Lower Catawba River Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03050103). Existing Site Conditions The land use in the area surrounding the project is commercial and residential. The land use on the project site is a recreational golf course comprised of fairways, greens and tees. The site contains two ponds that are upstream of the proposed pond and a tributary that runs in to Irwin Creek. The unnamed tributary drains to Irwin Creek approximately Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants 115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407 Sparta, NC 28675 0.7 miles downstream of the proposed dam site. Specifically, the pond will be located within an area that has been recently timbered; the timbering allows for a new golf hole to cross in the vicinity of the proposed pond. Applicant's Stated Purpose As stated by the applicant, the purpose of the project is to provide an irrigation pond with a volume of 24 million gallons to maintain existing greens, tees, and fairways. Project Description The irrigation pond will allow for the facility to have a sustainable water source for the approximately 70 acres of turf. Based on acceptable industry standards a golf course of this size requires 630,000 gallons per day during dry periods. This total volume is based on a daily requirement for 9,000 gallons per acre in consideration of an evapo- transporation rate of 0.20 inches per day with. The irrigation pond will eliminate the need for the applicant to purchase potable water from the City of Charlotte. Site constraints limit the placement of the pond to the proposed location. In order to achieve the volumes needed for the project the pond must be 7 acres in size and must be an average of 10 feet deep. No high ground alternatives provide adequate volume for the required water. Development of the site will require grading the proposed dam site, and filling necessary to impound the stream. Heavy equipment, including graders, pan scrapers, excavators, bull dozers, etc., will be used for the construction of the project. Completion of the proposed project would require the construction of a dam embankment to impound water. The top width of the dam is proposed to be 20 feet, and the side slope for the dam is proposed to be 3:1. The proposed permanent impacts to stream channels resulting from the placement of fill material associated with the dam totals 167 linear feet or 0.015 acres of stream surface area. The proposed impacts resulting from flooding streams total 1800 linear feet or 0.101 acres of stream surface area. Plans included with this notice show the overall proposed site layout as well as details of the proposed dam. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels through onsite restoration of 2080 linear feet of streams and preservation of 1000 linear feet of streams on the site. Mitigation Figures are attached to this application. Other Required Authorizations This notice and all applicable 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 2 Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants 115 Atwood Drive, Ste 407 Sparta, NC 28675 certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500).

The pond must be this size to provide 24 million gallons of water for the existing 70 acres of turf. The proposed pond is needed to hold a large enough volume of water to last five to eight days in drought conditions, and still maintain adequate flow downstream. Currently the two existing ponds located on the property do not have the volumetric capabilities required for the necessary irrigation to sustain live turf during drought conditions. Currently Carolina Golf Club has two small ponds located on the property for the purposes of irrigation. These ponds are shallow, and do not hold the volume of water required for the necessary irrigation to maintain fairways and greens on the golf course, during the late summer months, and drought conditions. The primary source of water for the ponds is ground water. The groundwater discharge into the pond is not adequate to maintain suitable pond levels for pumping. Based on statements from the applicant, it only takes three nights of normal irrigation in drought like conditions for the lower pond to be drained beyond use. Currently during periods of low rainfall or no rainfall for several weeks in a row, the ponds have to be refilled through the use of city water, bought from the city of Charlotte. Buying city water is not an economically feasible option. The golf course is just over eighty years old. The course has been relatively unchanged in those eighty years. The course is now attracting fewer and fewer players due to lack of changes, which in turn, takes an economic toll on the club. During the late summer months and in drought conditions, the course receives many complaints about the two existing ponds being drawn down to aesthetically unpleasing levels. A larger pond with a large surface area and larger volume, such as the proposed irrigation pond, would not show the effects of irrigation pumping as bad, thus making the aesthetics of the course more pleasing. Carolina Golf Club Avoidance and Minimization The proponents have looked to find alternate means to avoid building a new pond. None of the other options looked at are feasible for the purposes of the needed irrigation. Not only are the other options not feasible for irrigation, they are not economically practical. One of the options considered was dredging the ponds out to a deeper depth, thus increasing the volume. Based on the opinion of a hydrogeologist the underground water supply is not sufficient to keep the ponds full. Even of this were possible it would take a more powerful pump to retrieve water from the greater depths. The cost of buying new pumps and the increased energy does not make this option cost efficient nor aesthetically pleasing to the members using the course when they are drawn down for irrigation. Another alternative that was reviewed and found unacceptable was creating an off line pond in the low area near the location of the proposed pond. This alternative would not provide the needed volume since only 4 acres of low area is available. Theoretically, a dyke could be built along the banks of the stream and across the lower end of high ground, creating pond in high ground but the volume the volume cannot be achieved. An alternative that has been utilized and is not cost efficient nor responsible is the use of city water to keep the irrigation ponds full. On average, $30,000 to $35,000 dollars is spent each year to buy water from the City of Charlotte. In year 2002, during the drought, roughly $45,000 was used to buy water from the city. One particular time, pumps ran fifty- four hours and pumped $10,000 worth of potable water into the ponds. With the water restrictions Charlotte places during summer months and drought conditions, it is unclear how much longer they will allow the use of city water for irrigation purposes. From the prospective of the golf course management, they need the water in order to maintain live turf and to stay open for business, but do not want to be depriving the City of Charlotte of water during dry times. Carolina Golf Club Mitigation Proposal Summary: The proponent is requesting a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the flooding impacts and a 2:1 ratio for the filling impacts. 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 restrictive covenant in the spirit of the Corps guidelines dated August 2003. Stream Mitigation: 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. The dam incorporates design elements that ensure that water quality will be protected through a low-flow cool-water / aerating discharge. A final mitigation plan showing structures and their locations will be submitted to the Corps within 30 days of the issuance of the permit. The attached figures show the preliminary location of the reaches to be mitigated. Preliminary studies indicate that there are approximately 2080 linear feet of restoration potential disbursed amongst 5 stream reaches. Onsite Mitigative Treatments and Restoration Plan Within 90 days of the approval of the restoration plans the applicant will provide to the US Army Corps of Engineers a plat that depicts the preservation areas and the restrictive language. ?
