4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in
wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored
within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the
project.
5. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or
applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to
return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina
Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
6. Diffuse Flow
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as
diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it
will not re-concentrate before discharging into a stream. If this is not possible, it may be
necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. This
may require additional approval from this Office.
7. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within
these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange
warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved
to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to
ensure compliance with 15A NCAC 213.0216.
9. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 50 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be
exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 2B. .0200. Appropriate sediment and erosion
control practices must be used to meet this standard.
10. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division
of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control
program, an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is
automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be
discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the
permit. If your project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that
Wal-Mart #1062-02 Relocation
Page 4 of 5 ,
December 13, 2006
disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the
sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements
are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be found at
httn: //h2o. enr state nc us/su/I orms Documents htm.
11. Deed Restrictions
Deed restrictions or conservation easements shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional
wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland,
water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any
wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval
and Authorization Certificate.
12. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below
locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life
movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are
or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes
installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of
the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the
cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and
below locations of each culvert. Therefore, you must provide plans with adequate details
that indicate that the current stability of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You
must receive written approval from this Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is
installed. Culvert(s) must be installed according to approved plans.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening
methods. If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically
approved by the Division of Water Quality.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401 /Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each
culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form.
13. Final Construction Drawings
Two copies of the final construction drawings shall be furnished to NCDWQ prior to the
pre-construction meeting. Written verification shall be provided that the final
Wal-Mart # 1062-02 Relocation
Page 5 of 5
December 13, 2006
construction drawings comply with the attached permit drawings contained in the
Application dated August 10, 2006.
14. Notification of Construction
The applicant and/or authorized agent shall contact the DWQ Asheville Regional Ofice in
writing at the letterhead address within 10 days of the commencement of construction.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may
result in criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your proposed
impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this
Certification, shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.

Dear Mr. Barnett,
a09@§BV§1
OCT 16 2006
VIETpj g M AND ST WNTER(yWTFR BRANCH
This letter is intended to provide additional information regarding the project
referenced above. Specifically, it addresses avoidance and minimization efforts related to
impacts to Waters of the US as required by Section 404(b) l of the Clean Water Act.
Different scenarios and considerations are provided below and give details on why the
current location and configuration of the proposed retail center is as such.
No Development
Essentially, the "No Development" is not feasible in this situation. The existing
Wal-Mart is in need of updating and expansion in order to keep up with current demand.
Lenoir's population has grown by 18.3% since 1990. Lenoir is part of the Hickory-
Morganton-Lenoir Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is the fourth largest MSA in
North Carolina. By following the "No Development" scenario, the outdated and
undersized Wal-Mart would continue to operate, serving the growing population of
Lenoir. The area would not benefit from the economic surge of new development.
Utilizing a Different Site with Less Impacts
There were two (2) main criteria for the selection of the site: 1) it had to be large
enough to support the proposed project; and 2) it was preferred be contiguous with the
existing Wal-Mart. Under the "Different Site" scenario, Wal-Mart would seek another
undeveloped property in the area rather than utilizing an existing site. This would result
in a previously undeveloped site being built into a Super Wal-Mart and the existing Wal-
Mart site being left vacant. The cumulative impacts of two separate commercial sites
rather than the expansion of an existing commercial site would be greater.

P0. Box 2346 - Hendersonville, North Carolina 28793 - Phone/Fax [phone]

Reduction of On-Site Impacts
Every effort was made by the applicant to reduce on-site impacts to the maximum
extent possible. The current configuration of the Wal-Mart also lends itself to avoidance
and minimization as much as is practicable. The applicant provided minimization from
the initial conception of this project when the decision was made to expand an existing
store rather than develop a new site. In addition to utilizing the existing Wal-Mart in the
new site design, a large retaining wall approximately 300 feet long and 30 feet tall is
being constructed to minimize impacts to Waters of the US located adjacent to the
proposed parking lot.
The current Wal-Mart is in need of both expansion and updating. The required
work is extensive and would require that the store be closed for construction. This would
result in a considerable amount of lost revenue, laid off employees, and an inconvenience
to local residents who rely on the local Wal-Mart for many of their shopping needs.
Therefore, the applicant is proposing to build the new store while continuing to operate
the existing store. The new store footprint will utilize the satellite parking for the existing
store in order to minimize the amount of new impervious surface. Once the new store is
complete, the old building will be able to be renovated and leased.
Alternative layouts were discussed during the design phase of the project.
Orientation of the store so that the side of the building faces US 321 still results in
impacts to the stream if the store maintains the required truck access and square footage.
In both instances, with the store oriented facing US 321 and with the side of the building
facing US 321, the stream is located at the front of the store. By daylighting the stream
and providing access via pedestrian bridges, required handicapped parking and access to
the front of the store would be lost.
Existing Desisn with Mitigation
The proposed project involves the purchase of 392 linear feet of warm water
stream credits form the Ecosystem Enhancement Program. This will allow for
contiguous mitigation to be preformed as part of a larger project within the watershed.
An additional request has been made for the 0.017 ac. of wetland credits. A copy of the
request is provided for your review. A decision on the request will be made at the EEP's
Monday meeting on October 16, 2006. Their response will be forwarded upon receipt.
Stormwater and Erosion Control
A North Carolina Division of Water Quality stormwater permit will be obtained.
The stormwater management plan will utilize best management practices as outline by
the Division of Water Quality. An erosion and sedimentation control plan will be
approved by North Carolina Department of Natural Resources Division of Land
Resources prior to commencement of any land disturbing activities onsite.
All in all, the applicant has avoided and minimized impacts to Waters of the US to
the maximum extent practicable. Alternatives were considered thoroughly prior to
submitting the present design and relying on compensatory mitigation. I hope that this
addresses all your comments and concerns regarding this project and we can proceed in a
timely fashion. If you have any questions, please call me at [phone]. Thank you
for your assistance in this matter.

cause a violation of downstream water quality standards".
The Division of Water Quality evaluates cumulative impacts based on the guidelines of
the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative Impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification
and Isolated Wetland Program. NC Division of Water Quality, October 3, 2002, Version
1.6". Based on these guidelines, DWQ's policy provides for three levels of analysis. For
projects involving only small amounts of added impervious surface or occurring in
heavily developed areas, a "Generic Description" of the project's possible cumulative
impacts will be required. If the project will involve a significant increase in impervious
surface (generally 20% or more), but is located near existing roads and development, a
"Qualitative Analysis" will be required. The highest level, the "Quantitative Analysis",
is required where a project is significant in size and likely to stimulate growth in the area.
DWQ's policy provides that it is applicable to private development projects, although it
recognizes that many of the projects are unlikely to cause cumulative impacts. DWQ
recognizes that private development projects are most likely cause cumulative impacts
when they are "1) relatively large, 2) involve commercial development, and 3) occur in
otherwise relatively undeveloped landscapes with an impact on regional growth
patterns".
For the Lenoir Wal-Mart #1064-02 Relocation project, DWQ has determined that a
qualitative analysis of the potential cumulative impacts of the project would be
appropriate in terms of determining the effects on downstream water quality.
To determine potential cumulative impacts, this project was reviewed for any growth
stimulating effects that could potentially foster downstream impacts on water quality.
Factors taken into consideration include the project size, its nature, and its proximity to
the developed local landscape.
Project Description
The site is located southwest and adjacent to the intersection of Highway 321 and
Greenhaven Drive in Lenoir, NC. The surrounding area is primarily commercial and
medium density residential development. The site houses an existing Wal-Mart store and
other commercial development. Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust is proposing to
relocate and expand the existing Lenoir Wal-Mart. A portion of the proposed store's
footprint and parking would come from the existing Wal-Mart development and out
parcels.
Current impervious surface on the property is approximately 31.04 acres on a total of
56.41 acres. The proposed project would increase the impervious surface by 3.31 acres
for a total of approximately 34.35 acres of impervious surface on the 56.41 acre property.
The project would involve placing a total of 392 linear feet of an unnamed tributary of
Zach's Fork into a 54" RCP. The total includes 239 linear feet of perennial stream and
153 linear feet of intermittent stream. The 54" RCP would tie directly into an existing
54" RCP which runs approximately 1754 linear feet to the southern property boundary
just west of US Highway 321 and then further under adjacent commercial properties.
Project Area Description
The project is located in Lenoir, North Carolina. Lenoir is the largest municipality in
Caldwell County. Caldwell County is located in Western North Carolina where the
Piedmont meets the Mountains. Caldwell County is part of the Hickory-Morganton-
Lenoir Metropolitan Statistical Area, the fourth largest MSA in North Carolina. This
four-county MSA has a population of over 300,000 people.
The furniture business and its corollaries make up the primary industry of Caldwell
County. Originally founded by German craftsmen immigrants whose legacy is evident in
the quality of workmanship today, Caldwell County products are shipped all over the
world. Along US 321 is the renowned "20 Miles of Furniture" where shoppers from
everywhere flock to take advantage of home furnishing bargains at outlet stores.
Watershed Description
The project is located within the Catawba River Basin. The onsite streams are unnamed
tributaries of Zack's Fork which is classified as "C" waters. Class "C" waters are defined
as "freshwaters protected for secondary recreation, fishing, aquatic life including
propagation and survival, and wildlife."
Current conditions of the Lower Creek watershed, which includes Zacks Fork and the
City of Lenoir, are listed as Impaired based on the 2002 Catawba River Basinwide Water
Quality Plan. In 2003 EEP initiated a Local Watershed Plan for the Lower Creek
watershed in Burke and Caldwell counties. The EEP is using the plan to identify and
prioritize wetland and stream restoration projects as well as best management practices to
provide water quality and aquatic habitat improvements to the watershed.
Project Induced Growth
The proposed project is not likely to induce adjacent development as much of the
surrounding area is already developed. The project site currently houses a Wal-Mart and
associated commercial areas. The proposed project would involve relocating and
expanding the Wal-Mart on the property and then making the current retail space
available for other retail opportunities. The project is not bringing a new retail center to
the area, but rather updating an existing center. The proposed site plan incorporates only
one out-parcel, with the rest of the associated retail space coming from existing
developed areas.
The property is located just north of the City of Lenoir, along US Highway 321. The
downstream area of the unnamed tributary of Zack's Fork is piped and properties
downstream are heavily developed. US Highway 321 is main artery through Lenoir and
Caldwell County, and serves as the hub of the counties furniture industries.
Based on the developed nature of the surrounding area and the overall nature and purpose
of the project, it is not believed that the project will induce adjacent developments that
would have impacts on downstream water quality.
Summary
Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust proposes to develop this project in accordance with
likely conditions in the 401 Water Quality Certification and the previously received 404
permit authorizations. The purpose of implementing these guidelines is to protect the
downstream water quality in the area of the project. Based on the projects close
proximity to Lenoir and the US Highway 321 corridor, as well as the in-fill nature of the
development, the applicant does not believe that any potential effects on growth will
occur due to the Wal-Mart #1064-02 Relocation project.

I. NARRATIVE
The following is the stormwater management report for the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter, located along U.S.
Highway 321 (Blowing Rock Boulevard) in Lenoir, Caldwell County, North Carolina. Currently, the site paritally
consists of previously developed areas, as well as vegetated areas across the majority of the western portion of the
site. The subject site is located immediately north of the existing Wal-Mart shopping center.
Existing ditches and swales direct a majority of runoff from the site, as well as off-site areas, into the existing stream
within the wetlands area (located near the central portion of the site). This area is directed into an existing below
grade storm drain network. The remainder of runoff, generally from the developed areas on-site, is directed toward
inlet structures which are connected to the previously mentioned storm drain network. A small detention pond is
also present near the central portion of the site, which appears to accept runoff from the offsite developed areas,
directly adjacent to the northeast of the site. The pond appears to release runoff into the previously mentioned
wetlands area. Ultimately, the previously described runoff flows to the south, off-site, through the existing below
grade strom drain network and appears to drain into an unnamed tributary of Zacks Fork.
The current plan is to construct a Wal-Mart Supercenter and one outlot property. The majority of the site will drain
to the stormwater management facility (SWMF) located near the southwestern portion of the site. The runoff
collected by the SWMF is planned for storage and controlled release into the previously mentioned below grade
storm drain network, at a point near the southern limits of the property. A majority of the existing storm drain on-
site will be removed, replaced, and rerouted from the current configuration, however, runoff will ultimately be
directed into an existing storm drain structure which is directed off-site. We anticipate that all drainage up to the
100-yr storm event would be safely controlled and released by the SWMF. The total developed area that will pass
through the SWMFs will be approximately 30.3 acres. The remaining portion of the site will bypass the SWMF and
drain as in pre-developed conditions.
Construction will include the Wal-Mart building, associated parking and landscaped areas, subsurface utility
improvements, and stormwater management facilities. The outlot will also be graded as part of this project. The
site contains approximately 39.98 acres with approximately 29.34 acres being disturbed during construction
activities, including off-site disturbed areas. The stormwater will sheet flow across the paved and landscaped areas
to proposed inlets, which will lead to the SWMF. The F will be esigned to the 25, 50, and 100 year storm events, runoff
event, as well as the 2 and 10 year storm events, while it safely Passng
The SWMF will serve as a sediment basin during construction activities. Silt fence, inlet protection, construction
entrances, and diversion channels will also serve as erosion and sediment control devices. After the site has been
stabilized, the silt fence, inlet protection, and construction entrances will be removed, the sediment basin will be
cleaned and converted to the planned SWMF, and the site will be graded to its final configuration.
The storm water runoff calculations in this report are based on the SCS method.
1
II. PRE-DEVELOPED CONDITIONS
The runoff for both the pre and post-developed conditions will be calculated using the SCS Method. This method
considers land use, time of travel for runoff, rainfall precipitation for a 24-hour rainfall event for this particular area,
and the size of the area.
The rainfall will vary based on the design storm and the time of concentration. The time of concentration is the
travel time, in minutes, of the runoff from the most remote point of the drainage basin to the outlet point. The area
is also analyzed to determine its current land use and e Runoff
for each drainage (area and the site as aewd for hole each
drainage area. These values are then used to calculate
In pre-development conditions, the site was analyzed as one area because all of the runoff ultimately enters the
existing below grade storm drain (54-inch RCP), which is directed off-site:
Pre-Development Area - draining to the existing 54-inch RCP
(See Appendix B for all Pre-Developed Calculations and Figures)
Curve Number and Basin Characteristics
The runoff curve number is based on land use (type) and the hydrologic soil group (group "B") for the drainage
basin. Other basin characteristics evaluated in this study include the overall basin area and average slope. The site
has been analyzed as one drainage basin, whose area is approximately 41.95 acres. The drainage area is composed
of approximately 13.36 acres of impervious area (CN=98), with the remaining portions composed of fully developed
urban area in good condition. Based on this information, and using the WinTR-55 program, the curve number and
basin characteristics for the pre-developed area are as follows:
Time of Concentration
The time of concentration, Tc for the drainage areas will be calculated using overland flow, shallow concentrated
flow and channel flow. The Tc is a function of distance
flow. The Tc values, calculated using the Hydraflow
distance and velocity for shallow concentrated and channel
Hydrographs 2004 program (See Appendix B), are as shown below:

Runoff Calculations
Per the SCS Method, the runoff will be calculated for the existing condition for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100-yr
storm events. These storm events will be used to determine allowable release rates from the pond. The results are
as follows (see Appendix B for 2 year and 10 year hydrographs):

51.0 cfs 115.47 cfs
25 year 50 year 100 year

III. POST-DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS
Next, the developed condition will be evaluated. The runoff rates will then be compared to the pre-developed runoff
rates to determine the volume of detention storage required.
In post-development conditions, the site will divided into the following 3 basins:
Post-Development Area 1 - Drainage area to SWMF
Post Development Area 2 - Drainage from off-site to bypass storm drain
Post Development Area 3 - SWMF Bypass Area
Curve Number and Basin Characteristics
Based on site analysis, and using the WinTR-55 program, the Curve Number (CN) and basin characteristics
(hydrologic soil group "B") for the post-developed areas are as follows:

Post-Dev Area 1
29.87

outlet to the pond. The Tc values, as calculated using the Hydraflow Hydrographs 2004 program (See Appendix C),
are as shown below:
Post-Dev Area 1 4.2 min
Post-Dev Area 2 7.9 min

Runoff Calculations
Per the SCS Method, the runoff will be calculated for the proposed condition for the 2, 10, 25, 50 and 100-yr
storm events. These storm events will be used to determine the calculated release rates to the detention pond and
away from the site, as necessary. The results are as follows (see Appendix C for 2 year and 10 year hydrographs):

IV. STORMWATER DETENTION
Permanent Water Quality
The SWMF has been designed as a wet detention structure, and to store and release the first 1 inch of runoff from
the SWMF drainage area. The SWMF has been designed with a forebay, sized to be a minimum of approximately
20% of the overall basin volume. Refer to the following calculations for the required water quality volumes:
Drainage area = 30.3 AC
Pervious area = 6.5 AC
Impervious area = 23.8 AC
Impervious area ratio = 23.8/30.3 = 79%
SA/DA ratio per Table 1.1 from the NCDENR Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section 'Stormwater Best
Management Practices' (dated April 1999) = 2.10 (for a permanent pool depth of 5 feet)
Minimum required surface area at permanent pool = (2.10/100)(29.87) = 0.63 ACft = 27,324 sf
Minimum required volume:
Rv = 0.05+0.009(80) = 0.77
Volume = (1 "/12")(0.77)(29.87AC)(43,560sf) = 83,489 cf
Surface area provided at permanent pool = 41,940 sf
Permanent pool elevation = 159.0
Minimum storage required: 83,489/41,940 = 1.99 ft, use 2.0 ft
Temporary pool elevation = 159.0 + 2.0 = 161.0
Volume provided at permanent pool = 179,136 cf
Forebay volume required = 179,136(0.2) = 35,828 cf
Forebay volume provided = 54,319 cf (7 ft deep)
Orifice sizing:
02 = 83,489 cf / 172,800 sec = 0.48 cfs (flowrate required for 2 day drawdown),
05 = 83,489 cf / 432,000 sec = 0.19 cfs (flowrate required for 5 day drawdown),
Choose a 4" diameter orifice - average head = 0.5(24-0.5(4)) = 1 I inches = 0.92 ft,
Orifice area = 0.087 sf,
Orifice flowrate = 0.6(0.087)(2"32.2"0.92)^0.5 = 0.4 cfs,
Q = 0.4 cfs (0.48 > 0.4 > 0. 19),
Thus, the orifice size has been determined as 4 inches.
Outlet Structure and Pond Release
As mentioned previously, we anticipate that the stormwater runoff captured from the developed areas of the site will
be stored and released by the SWMF. An outlet structure and emergency overflow pipe have been provided for the
SWMF. Based on the reservoir calculations for the SWMF, flow rates for runoff released offsite would be below
predevelopment runoff rates. The release rates from the SWMF are as follows (See Appendix D for Summary):
6
SWMF 1 (Perm. Pool El: 1159.0, Top of Pond El: 1165-0):
1 inch 0.4 0 1161.0
2 year 4.88 0 1161.87
10 year 23.68 0 1163.13
25 year 66.7 0 1163.5
50 year 124.61 0.07 1163.84
100 year 175.94 0.74 1164.1
1) Full mitigation of the 25, 50 and 100-year storm events is not required by the state of NC
or the City of Lenoir.
2) The outlet structure releases to a pipe network which is connected to an existing drop inlet
structure that flows into an existing 60" RCP, the overflow pipe is directed onto the slope surface
south of the pond.
Bypass Area
There will be a portion of the site whose runoff will bypass the SMWF and drain in a fashion near the pre developed
conditions. This area, labeled as "SWMF Bypass Area", will be approximately 12.08 acres, and is divided between
two areas. Approximately 8.25 acres will be draining directly to the provided by-pass system, originating from the
wetlands area, while approximately 3.83 acres will drain from the sloped area located along the southern portion of
the parking lot. Below are the Bypass Area release rates:
2 year 9.92 cfs
10 year 30.34 cfs
25 year 39.49 cfs
50 year 50.48 cfs
100 year 62.21 cfs
Conclusions
The total site runoff for pre-developed conditions is 51.0 cfs for the 2yr and 115.47 cfs for the I Oyr events. Post-
development total site runoff would be increased to 122.62 cfs and 199.71 cfs for the 2 and 10yr events.
Incorporating the proposed detention practices would result in total site runoff rates of 14.8 cfs and 54.02 cfs for
the 2 and 10yr events, thus, the proposed stormwater management system effectively mitigates the runoff.

VI. SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL
Erosion and sediment runoff from the site will be controlled with Best Management Practices, which are to include:
a temporary sediment trap, silt fence, super silt fence, inlet and outlet protection, diversion ditches, and one stone
construction entrance. Temporary and permanent seeding will be utilized throughout construction in accordance
with recommendations found in the South Carolina Manua/for Erosion and SedimentContro% The erosion control
measures will be installed in three phases and will be implemented per the South Carolina Manua/for Erosion and
Sediment Control Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans and Details, as well as pond sections, a sequence of
construction, and maintenance notes can be found in the Site Development Plans, prepared by Freeland &
Kauffman, Inc.
Phase I of the Erosion and Sediment Control plan will consist of the following: Installation of the site perimeter
controls including the Construction Entrance/Exit and Silt Fence.
Phase II of the Erosion and Sediment Control plan will consist of the following: The main grading activities will
commence. The sediment basins will be constructed as completely as possible, until mass grading operations begin
in Phase III. Until the surface runoff has been completely rerouted to the Sediment Basin, the stone ring filter
indicated on the plans should be installed in order to provide protection at the existing inlet. The Wal-Mart building
pad will be brought to subgrade elevation as soon as possible in association with continued excavation of the
sediment basins (SWMFs) and grading of the surrounding areas to promote positive drainage toward the Sediment
Basin. The proposed storm sewer lines and inlets shall be installed and utilized as grades allow, in association with
the specified inlet protection devices. Diversion dikes will be constructed in the locations shown on the plans.
Grading activities will conclude and the site will be stabilized via seeding and paving, etc. The Sediment Basin will
be converted to a SWMF and graded to the final configuration. All sediment is to be removed from the bottom of
the basin prior to the conversion. All perimeter controls (ie silt fence, construction exit, inlet protection) are to be
removed once the site is completely stabilized.
SEDIMENT BASIN DESIGN
The SWMF will be used as a Sediment Basin during construction activities. Below is general sediment basin design
information:
Total Drainage Area 30.3 ac
Disturbed Area 29.66 ac
Required Storage Volume 83,489 cf
Provided Storage Volume 309,648 cf
Max. 10-yr Elevation 1162.60
Once the site is stabilized and construction activities cease, the sediment basin will be converted to the SWMF and
graded to the final configuration.

3. Trash Removal - The trash rack shall be checked periodically and especially

5. Crest of Dam - Crest of dam should be graded to direct all surface drainage
into the impoundment.
6. Conduits - All conduits should be inspected thoroughly once a year. Inspect
for improper alignment (sagging), elongation, and displacement of joints,
cracks, leaks, surface wear, loss of protective coating, and corrosion and
blockage.
7. Outlet Erosion - Erosion at the spillway outlet is a common maintenance
problem. Severe undermining, displacement of pipes, and dam failure can
occur. Often the outlet is adequate for normal flow but not for extreme storm
flows. Periodically, and especially after storm events the outlet should be
inspected and repaired of any damage.
ago a e - Seepage must be controlled in quantity and velocity to minimize
damage to the dam. Regular monitoring to detect wet areas, "spring"
"piping", and "boils" on the downstream embankment should be done.
Excessive seepage pressure can threaten the downstream slope stability.
Seepage flow, which is muddied by soil, is evidence of "piping" and "boils".
When this occurs, complete failure may happen within hours and professional
advice should be obtained immediately. Typically, methods used to control
the quantity of seepage are installation of an upstream blanket, or the
installation of upstream drains.

REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Callaway:

WET,, OEN[AAni?
, r
On August 7, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application to
impact 0.017 acres of wetlands and 394 linear feet of streams to construct the proposed
Wal-Mart #1064-02. 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:
1. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(4) requires that any project not result in cumulative [or
secondary] impacts. A qualitative analysis of cumulative impacts must be
performed in accordance with

2. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (f) requires that "a lack of practical alternatives" be
demonstrated. Alternative sites have not been discussed in your application, nor
has expansion of the existing store. Lastly, no discussion in regards to developing
the project leaving the streams and wetlands day lighted between the parking
areas, or a significantly reduced fill, has been presented. A discussion regarding
practical alternatives with respect to a reduction of impacts must be presented.
3. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (g) requires a demonstration of minimization of impacts. As
discussed in item number 2, impact minimization has not been sufficiently
addressed. A thorough discussion regarding the minimization of impacts must be
presented.
4. In the application, it is stated that the Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust will pay
into the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for a total mitigation of 784 linear
feet to complete it's mitigation requirements. The attached EEP acceptance letter
refers to a total of 392 linear feet of stream mitigation and no wetland mitigation.
The DWQ must have a letter of acceptance for ((155 linear feet of intermittent * 0.5)
+ (239 linear feet of perennial * 2) + (0.017 acres of wetlands * 2) for a total of
$147,842) in mitigation acceptance.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NC EEP) is willing to
accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that
the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NC EEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404
Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send
copies of the 404/401/CAMA permits to NC EEP. Once NC EEP receives a copy of the 404 Permit and/or the 401
Certification an invoice will be issued and payment must be made.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the
following table.
River Basin Wetlands Stream Buffer Buffer

DATE: August 1, 2006 wETLMAN WATER SUBJECT: Lenoir Wal-Mart Relocation, Unnamed Tributary Zack's Fork, Caldwell County
The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information
provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and
the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The project is to relocate the existing Wal-Mart. Impacts are proposed to 394 linear feet of stream. Based on the
information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the project area, we do not believe this project will
cause significant effects to waters although cumulative and secondary stonnwater impacts may be exacerbated
without adequate stormwater management. Accordingly, we offer the following considerations due to possible
cumulative and secondary concerns and issues:
If practicable, the stream and previously piped stream reaches should be relocated around the facility
using state-of-the-art natural channel design methodologies. If relocated, a native species buffer zone
should be provided and permanently protected through conservation easements. This can keep the
stream day lighted as well as provide a green buffer amenity that supports aquatic and terrestrial
habitats.
Stormwater management is recommended to maintain and restore pre development runoff regime from
the old and new development sites.
If previous impacts have occurred to waters, cumulative impacts should be thoroughly evaluated and
mitigated.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding these
comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

VIII. 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.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm,gide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For

Section III #10.
The overall project involves the construction of a commercial retail
shopping center. The shopping center will consist of a newly constructed Wal-
Mart store as well as other commercial structures. Additionally, infrastructure
(parking, access drives, stormwater detention, etc.) will be constructed to service
the new facilities as required by all applicable Federal, State, and local
ordinances and regulations.
Extensive grading will be required on the site to bring it to level with
existing development and US Highway 321. A portion of an unnamed tributary of
Zack's Fork will be placed into a pipe with appropriate fill material place on top.
This small intermittent tributary originates on property and runs approximately
380 linear feet before becoming a perennial stream. At the point at which the
stream is reclassified as perennial it runs an additional 239 linear feet before
entering an existing 54 inch RCP pipe which runs approximately 1754 linear feet
to the southern property boundary just west of US Highway 321. A retaining wall
approximately 300 feet long and 30 feet tall is being constructed adjacent to the
parking area in order to minimize impacts to Waters of the US.
Section III # 11.
The purpose of the project is to construct a retail shopping center. The
project is necessary due to the inadequacy of the existing structures and roads.
Extensive site work will be necessary to prepare the site for level construction.
Section VI #1.
Extensive grading will be required on the site to bring it to level with
existing development and US Highway 321. A portion of an unnamed tributary of
Zack's Fork will be placed into a pipe with appropriate fill material place on top.
This small tributary originates on property and flows approximately 620 linear feet
before entering an existing 54 inch RCP pipe. A total of 392 linear feet of an
unnamed tributary of Zack's Fork will be placed in a 54" RCP with associated fill
material placed on top. The total includes 239 linear feet of perennial stream and
153 linear feet of intermittent stream. A total of 0.017 acres of adjacent wetland
will also be filled. The grade will have to be raised by approximately 50 feet.
Section VII
This site was selected for this project because it already houses an
existing Wal-Mart store and other commercial development and would therefore
be equivalent to in-fill development as opposed to using an off-site property. The
store has been configured in the only manner feasible. Reconstruction of the
layout would result in more extensive impacts to the tributary on the property.
A retaining wall approximately 300 feet long and 30 feet tall is being
constructed adjacent to the parking area in order to minimize impacts to Waters
of the US.

financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. See attached
VIII. 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.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwet]ands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please

shopping center. The shopping center will consist of a newly constructed Wal-
Mart store as well as other commercial structures. Additionally, infrastructure
(parking, access drives, stormwater detention, etc.) will be constructed to service
the new facilities as required by all applicable Federal, State, and local
ordinances and regulations.
Extensive grading will be required on the site to bring it to level with
existing development and US Highway 321. A portion of an unnamed tributary of
Zack's Fork will be placed into a pipe with appropriate fill material place on top.
This small intermittent tributary originates on property and runs approximately
380 linear feet before becoming a perennial stream. At the point at which the
stream is reclassified as perennial it runs an additional 239 linear feet before
entering an existing 54 inch RCP pipe which runs approximately 1754 linear feet
to the southern property boundary just west of US Highway 321. A retaining wall
approximately 300 feet long and 30 feet tall is being constructed adjacent to the
parking area in order to minimize impacts to Waters of the US.
Section III # 11.
The purpose of the project is to construct a retail shopping center. The
project is necessary due to the inadequacy of the existing structures and roads.
Extensive site work will be necessary to prepare the site for level construction.
Section VI #1.
Extensive grading will be required on the site to bring it to level with
existing development and US Highway 321. A portion of an unnamed tributary of
Zack's Fork will be placed into a pipe with appropriate fill material place on top.
This small tributary originates on property and flows approximately 620 linear feet
before entering an existing 54 inch RCP pipe. A total of 392 linear feet of an
unnamed tributary of Zack's Fork will be placed in a 54" RCP with associated fill
material placed on top. The total includes 239 linear feet of perennial stream and
153 linear feet of intermittent stream. A total of 0.017 acres of adjacent wetland
will also be filled. The grade will have to be raised by approximately 50 feet.
Section VII
This site was selected for this project because it already houses an
existing Wal-Mart store and other commercial development and would therefore
be equivalent to in-fill development as opposed to using an off-site property. The
store has been configured in the only manner feasible. Reconstruction of the
layout would result in more extensive impacts to the tributary on the property.
A retaining wall approximately 300 feet long and 30 feet tall is being
constructed adjacent to the parking area in order to minimize impacts to Waters
of the US.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: See attached
Page 7 of 12
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. See attached
VIII. 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.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at

Section III #10.
The overall project involves the construction of a commercial retail
shopping center. The shopping center will consist of a newly constructed Wal-
Mart store as well as other commercial structures. Additionally, infrastructure
(parking, access drives, stormwater detention, etc.) will be constructed to service
the new facilities as required by all applicable Federal, State, and local
ordinances and regulations.
Extensive grading will be required on the site to bring it to level with
existing development and US Highway 321. A portion of an unnamed tributary of
Zack's Fork will be placed into a pipe with appropriate fill material place on top.
This small intermittent tributary originates on property and runs approximately
380 linear feet before becoming a perennial stream. At the point at which the
stream is reclassified as perennial it runs an additional 239 linear feet before
entering an existing 54 inch RCP pipe which runs approximately 1754 linear feet
to the southern property boundary just west of US Highway 321. A retaining wall
approximately 300 feet long and 30 feet tall is being constructed adjacent to the
parking area in order to minimize impacts to Waters of the US.
Section III # 11.
The purpose of the project is to construct a retail shopping center. The
project is necessary due to the inadequacy of the existing structures and roads.
Extensive site work will be necessary to prepare the site for level construction.
Section VI #1.
Extensive grading will be required on the site to bring it to level with
existing development and US Highway 321. A portion of an unnamed tributary of
Zack's Fork will be placed into a pipe with appropriate fill material place on top.
This small tributary originates on property and flows approximately 620 linear feet
before entering an existing 54 inch RCP pipe. A total of 392 linear feet of an
unnamed tributary of Zack's Fork will be placed in a 54" RCP with associated fill
material placed on top. The total includes 239 linear feet of perennial stream and
153 linear feet of intermittent stream. A total of 0.017 acres of adjacent wetland
will also be filled. The grade will have to be raised by approximately 50 feet.
Section VII
This site was selected for this project because it already houses an
existing Wal-Mart store and other commercial development and would therefore
be equivalent to in-fill development as opposed to using an off-site property. The
store has been configured in the only manner feasible. Reconstruction of the
layout would result in more extensive impacts to the tributary on the property.
A retaining wall approximately 300 feet long and 30 feet tall is being
constructed adjacent to the parking area in order to minimize impacts to Waters
of the US.
