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://li2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlaiids/strm?,?ide.html. 1. 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. N/A - As previously discussed the project will result in minimal adverse affect to the aquatic environment and therefore no mitigation is required. 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 (919) 715-0476 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.

Project Information - Number 5: Approximate coordinates for the recreational day use swimming area are as follows: 1. 36.4746° N ; 77.6754° W 2. 36.4752° N ; 77.6755° W 3. 36.4749'N; 77.6752°W Section III. Proiect Information - Number 6: The total area of the recreational day use area is approximately 20 acres. This PCN is for a Nationwide Permit 39 for excavation and fill activities associated with the day use swimming area only. The total area of the swimming area is approximately 0.385 acres. Section III. Project Information - Number 9: The Roanoke Rapids Day Use Recreational Area will be located adjacent to the Roanoke Rapids Hydro Power Station and Roanoke Rapids Lake. The land adjacent to the Roanoke Rapids Day Use Area is predominantly wooded. The recreational day use area is bordered on the north and northeast by the Roanoke Rapids Lake dam facility, to the west by Roanoke Rapids Lake, and to the south by residential lots. Section III. Proiect Information - Number 10: The project to be covered by the Nationwide Permit 39 involves excavation and fill work for a swimming area that will be part of a recreational day use area at the Roanoke Rapids Hydro Power Station. The total area of the swimming area is approximately 16,784 square feet (0.385 acres). This area will be excavated to a maximum depth of five (5) feet, which equates to approximately 3,108 cubic yards of excavated material (maximum) to be removed. The excavation will be performed to level off the slope of the swimming area for swimming/wading purposes. There will be no excavation work done on the beach/shoreline area adjacent to the swimming area. After excavation activities are complete, the excavated area will be backfilled with sand at a minimum depth of one (1) foot (approximately 622 cubic yards). All excavation and fill work will be done below the normal pool area (i.e., below the water surface). A long-reach excavator will be used to perform the excavation activities. The long-reach excavator will excavate the material and place it directly into 30-ton trucks. The trucks will transport the spoils to a cleared, upper frisbee golf course hole for dewatering. Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed around the dewatering area to ensure that the spoils are allowed to dry without any impact to the area from runoff. After the spoils are de- watered, the spoils will be transported by 30-ton trucks to a state-licensed landfill. The name of the landfill where the de-watered spoils will be disposed is Price Borrow Pit (903)/Landfill, located in Littleton, Halifax County, North Carolina. Based upon the results of a wetland delineation (report attached) performed for the recreational day use area, there are no wetlands located in or around the swimming area where the excavation and fill work will be performed. Therefore, there will be no wetland impacts associated with the project. Section VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization A long-reach excavator will be used to perform the excavation and fill activities. The long-reach excavator will deposit the excavated spoils directly into 30-ton trucks for transport to the de- watering area. This method will eliminate double handling of the material. No spoils will be placed on the beach area. After being de-watered, the spoils will be transported to a state- licensed landfill for disposal. The project will also utilize existing pathways to the swimming area, as much as possible, and mats will be placed on the pathways (as conditions warrant) while the trucks are using the area. The NC DENR approved Erosion and Sediment Control measures will be put into place prior to the start of the excavation work.

It is our understanding that you requested a jurisdictional wetland and stream delineation adjacent to the Roanoke Rapids Lake and Lake Gaston located in Halifax, Northampton, and Warren Counties, North Carolina and Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The seven project sites (2 sites at Roanoke Rapids Lake and 5 sites at Lake Gaston) are adjacent to the shorelines of the restive lakes. Figure 1 provides a general location of the seven proposed project areas. This letter outlines our findings pertaining to the jurisdictional delineation. Prior to the initiation of field efforts, available sources were reviewed, including U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles, National Wetland Inventory (NWI), quadrangles, and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils mapping for Halifax, Northampton, and Warren Counties, North Carolina and Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Wetlands Jurisdictional wetlands are defined by 33 CFR 328.3(b) and are protected by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), which is administered and enforced by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). For this investigation, wetlands are those areas which satisfy the technical criteria in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual (Technical Report Y-87-1). The field investigation included an inspection of the entire easement boundary to identify areas which exhibited wetland characteristics. Jurisdictional wetlands are defined in the field as areas that have positive evidence of three environmental parameters: v Hydrophytie vegetation (vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions); o Wetland hydrology (substrate that is inundated or saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season); and a Hydric soils (soils that possess characteristics that are associated with reducing/anaerobic soil conditions). MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. 3301 Atlantic Avenue • Raleigh, NC 27604 • Phone: 919.876.0416. • Fax: 919.831.8136 www.moctoc.com I Roanoke Rapids Day Use Welland Delineation A ugust 7, 2006 Roanoke Rapids Lake and Lake Gaston MACTEC Project no. 6470-06-1484 Seven areas (Areas 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) were surveyed for jurisdictional wetlands. The landward limits of wetland jurisdiction within the project areas were determined using the Routine On-Site Determination (RD) method as defined in the USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual. Observations on vegetation, soils, and hydrology were recorded on the field data forms. The wetland boundaries were marked in the field with red color and blue color flagging tape. Flag points were sequentially labeled with the wetland unit designation and flag location number. Flag locations were registered using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. All registered GPS data were differentially-corrected to sub-meter accuracy. A jurisdictional wetland polygon was generated from the corrected GPS data and wetland acreage was determined using an automated Geographic Information System (GIS) feature. Wetland areas were evaluated using the three-parameter approach outlined by the USACE 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual, which requires the presence of hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and evidence of wetland hydrology. The field investigation was conducted on 24 July 2006. Three jurisdictional wetland areas were delineated within the seven project areas: Area 1 (0.15 acres), Area 2 (< 0.02 acres), and Area 8 (5 0.01). The boundaries of the wetlands, as mapped through GPS technology, are depicted on Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C. Wetlands within Areas 1 and 8 are characterized as forested riparian wetlands. Based on Cowardin et. al (1979) these wetlands would be classified as PFOIC (palustrine, forested, broad- leaved deciduous, seasonally flooded). Vegetation within wetlands at Area I and 8 generally consisted of red maple (facer rubrum), tulip-tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnantomea), arrow arum (Peltandra virginica), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), and Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides). Data on vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the wetland areas were recorded on the RD field forms (see Attachments). Wetlands within Area 2 are characterized as emergent marsh. Based on Cowardin et. al (1979) these wetlands would be classified as L2EM (lacustrine, littoral, emergent). Vegetation within wetlands at Area consists primarily of spike-rush (Eleocharis obtuse). Data on vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the wetland areas were recorded on the RD field forms (see Attachments). Streams MACTEC scientists conducted a field reconnaissance of the easement area to determine the presence or absence of perennial stream channels. The methods for determination of stream classification were in accordance with the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) stream evaluation protocols in Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams (Version 3.1), dated February 28, 2005. The stream channel assessment included a qualitative review of channel characteristics (i.e., biological, hydrological, and geomorphological components) for the purpose of documenting ephemeral (non jurisdictional) versus intermittent or perennial channels. No perennial or intermittent stream channels were identified within the project study area. 2 Roanoke Rapids Day Use Welland Delineation Roanoke Rapids Lake and Lake Gaston AMCTEC Project no. 6470-06-1484 August 7, 2006 Summa", MACTEC identified and delineated three wetlands at three different sites. The three delineated wetland sites ranged in size from < 0.01 acres to 0.15 acres. No perennial or intermittent stream channels were identified within the project site. Wetland impacts exceeding 0.10-acre will require a permit from the USACE. MACTEC appreciates this chance to provide Dominion Resource Services, Inc. our services and look forward to working with you in the future.

Project Information - Number 6: The total area of the recreational day use area is approximately 20 acres. This PCN is for a Nationwide Permit 39 for excavation and fill activities associated with the day use swimming area only. The total area of the swimming area is approximately 0.385 acres. Section III. Project Information - Number 9: The Roanoke Rapids Day Use Recreational Area will be located adjacent to the Roanoke Rapids Hydro Power Station and Roanoke Rapids Lake. The land adjacent to the Roanoke Rapids Day Use Area is predominantly wooded. The recreational day use area is bordered on the north and northeast by the Roanoke Rapids Lake dam facility, to the west by Roanoke Rapids Lake, and to the south by residential lots. Section 111. Proiect Information - Number 10: The project to be covered by the Nationwide Permit 39 involves excavation and fill work for a swimming area that will be part of a recreational day use area at the Roanoke Rapids Hydro Power Station. The total area of the swimming area is approximately 16,784 square feet (0.385 acres). This area will be excavated to a maximum depth of five (5) feet, which equates to approximately 3,108 cubic yards of excavated material (maximum) to be removed. The excavation will be performed to level off the slope of the swimming area for swimming/wading purposes. There will be no excavation work done on the beach/shoreline area adjacent to the swimming area. After excavation activities are complete, the excavated area will be backfilled with sand at a minimum depth of one (1) foot (approximately 622 cubic yards). All excavation and fill work will be done below the normal pool area (i.e., below the water surface). A long-reach excavator will be used to perform the excavation activities. The long-reach excavator will excavate the material and place it directly into 30-ton trucks. The trucks will transport the spoils to a cleared, upper frisbee golf course hole for dewatering. Appropriate erosion and sediment controls will be installed around the dewatering area to ensure that the spoils are allowed to dry without any impact to the area from runoff. After the spoils are de- watered, the spoils will be transported by 30-ton trucks to a state-licensed landfill. The name of the landfill where the de-watered spoils will be disposed is Price Borrow Pit (903)/Landfill, located in Littleton, Halifax County, North Carolina. Based upon the results of a wetland delineation (report attached) performed for the recreational day use area, there are no wetlands located in or around the swimming area where the excavation and fill work will be performed. Therefore, there will be no wetland impacts associated with the project. Section VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization A long-reach excavator will be used to perform the excavation and fill activities. The long-reach excavator will deposit the excavated spoils directly into 30-ton trucks for transport to the de- watering area. This method will eliminate double handling of the material. No spoils will be placed on the beach area. After being de-watered, the spoils will be transported to a state- licensed landfill for disposal. The project will also utilize existing pathways to the swimming area, as much as possible, and mats will be placed on the pathways (as conditions warrant) while the trucks are using the area. The NC DENR approved Erosion and Sediment Control measures will be put into place prior to the start of the excavation work.

It is our understanding that you requested a jurisdictional wetland and stream delineation adjacent to the Roanoke Rapids Lake and Lake Gaston located in Halifax, Northampton, and Warren Counties, North Carolina and Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The seven project sites (2 sites at Roanoke Rapids Lake and 5 sites at Lake Gaston) are adjacent to the shorelines of the restive lakes. Figure 1 provides a general location of the seven proposed project areas. This letter outlines our findings pertaining to the jurisdictional delineation. Prior to the initiation of field efforts, available sources were reviewed, including U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles, National Wetland Inventory (NWI), quadrangles, and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils mapping for Halifax, Northampton, and Warren Counties, North Carolina and Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Wetlands Jurisdictional wetlands are defined by 33 CFR 328.3(b) and are protected by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), which is administered and enforced by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). For this investigation, wetlands are those areas which satisfy the technical criteria in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual (Technical Report Y-87-1). The field investigation included an inspection of the entire easement boundary to identify areas which exhibited wetland characteristics. Jurisdictional wetlands are defined in the field as areas that have positive evidence of three environmental parameters: o Hydrophytic vegetation (vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions); © Wetland hydrology (substrate that is inundated or saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season); and v Hydric soils (soils that possess characteristics that are associated with reducinglanaerobic soil conditions).

The landward limits of wetland jurisdiction within the project areas were determined using the Routine On-Site Determination (RD) method as defined in the USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual. Observations on vegetation, soils, and hydrology were recorded on the field data forms. The wetland boundaries were marked in the field with red color and blue color flagging tape. Flag points were sequentially labeled with the wetland unit designation and flag location number. Flag locations were registered using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. All registered GPS data were differentially-corrected to sub-meter accuracy. A jurisdictional wetland polygon was generated from the corrected GPS data and wetland acreage was determined using an automated Geographic Information System (GIS) feature. Wetland areas were evaluated using the three-parameter approach outlined by the USACE 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual, which requires the presence of hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and evidence of wetland hydrology. The field investigation was conducted on 24 July 2006. Three jurisdictional wetland areas were delineated within the seven project areas: Area 1 (0.15 acres), Area 2 (< 0.02 acres), and Area 8 (<_ 0.01). The boundaries of the wetlands, as mapped through GPS technology, are depicted on Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C. Wetlands within Areas 1 and 8 are characterized as forested riparian wetlands. Based on Cowardin et. al (1979) these wetlands would be classified as PF01 C (palustrine, forested, broad- leaved deciduous, seasonally flooded). Vegetation within wetlands at Area I and 8 generally consisted of red maple (Ater rubruna), tulip-tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnanionnea), arrow arum (Peltandra virglnica), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), and Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides). Data on vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the wetland areas were recorded on the RD field forms (see Attachments). Wetlands within Area 2 are characterized as emergent marsh. Based on Cowardin et. al (1979) these wetlands would be classified as L2EM (lacustrine, littoral, emergent). Vegetation within wetlands at Area consists primarily of spike-rush (Eleocharis obtuse). Data on vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the wetland areas were recorded on the RD field forms (see Attachments). Streams MACTEC scientists conducted a field reconnaissance of the easement area to determine the presence or absence of perennial stream channels. The methods for determination of stream classification were in accordance with the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) stream evaluation protocols in Identification Methods for the Origins of Intertnittent and Perennial Streams (Version 3.1), dated February 28, 2005. The stream channel assessment included a qualitative review of channel characteristics (i.e., biological, hydrological, and geomorphological components) for the purpose of documenting ephemeral (non jurisdictional) versus intermittent or perennial channels. No perennial or intermittent stream channels were identified within the project study area. 2 Roanoke Rapids Day Use {Ve1/and Delineation Roanoke Rapids Lake and Lake Gaston AIACTEC Project no. 6470-06-1484 August 7, 2006 Summary' MACTEC identified and delineated three wetlands at three different sites. The three delineated wetland sites ranged in size from < 0.01 acres to 0.15 acres. No perennial or intermittent stream channels were identified within the project site. Wetiand impacts exceeding 0.10-acre will require a permit from the USACE.
