Dear Mr. McMillan:
Per your conversation with Todd St. John of Kimley-Horn on December 20, 2006;
we respectfully rescind our letters of December 4, 2006 and November 9, 2006.
The subject project will be designed to comply with the stormwater management
requirements of the City of Charlotte. As part of the site development process,
the City will review the site plans for compliance with its current stormwater
design criteria and ordinances.
We apologize for any confusion regarding this situation and thank you for your
assistance. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at 704-954-
7495.
Very truly yours,
KIMLEY-HORN AND

Dear Mr. McMillan:
This letter is to amend a previous letter sent November 9, 2006. The previous
letter stated we would design a "Water Quality pond designed to remove 85%
TSS according to the latest version of DWQ's Stormwater Best Management
Practices manual". After clarification of the General Certifications for a
Nationwide 39 permit, it was determined that our impacts are below the threshold
for this requirement. Our stonnwater plan will still meet the current stormwater
requirements of the City of Charlotte.
Please respond to this letter by email ([e-mail]) or mail
to acknowledge your receipt and acceptance of this letter. Thank you for your
assistance with this matter. Please call Mr. Eric Riedinger or Mr. Tommy
Cousins if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

Re: Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #2134-06
DWQ Project # 06-1725
Dear Mr. McMillan:
This letter is in response to the letter we received dated November 6, 2006 from
the Division of Water Quality concerning the proposed development and serves
as the follow-up conversation between yourself and Mr. Tommy Cousins from
our office.
The proposed 381-/- acre development located on N. Tryon Street in Charlotte,
NC includes a Wal-Mart Supercenter, construction of a portion of University
Pointe Boulevard, and five seller retained outparcels with no current
development plan. The stormwater plan will be designed to accept the
development's storm drainage in a regional water quality pond with the
following design characteristics:
Meet the current stormwater requirements of the City of Charlotte;
Water Quality pond designed to remove 85% TSS according to the latest
version of DWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices manual; and
Detain the difference between the pre vs. post development condition for
the 2- and 10-year 24-hour rainfall events.
The approval process of the City of Charlotte requires stormwater plan approval
prior to any major land disturbing activity which would include impacts to the
stream, wetland and open water features noted in the application.
Please call Mr. Eric Riedinger or Mr. Tommy Cousins if you have any questions
regarding the proposed development.

Wetland Impact (acres): 0.04
Open Water Impact (acres): 0.25
Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. (acres) 0.29
Total Stream Impact (linear feet): 30
7. Isolated Waters
Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No
Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
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.
This site will avoid all perennial streams and all but 30 feet of the intermittent streams. There
is a small pond and wetland located where the main building will need to be located in order to
provide outparcels, the desired number of parking spaces, and to avoid the sewer easement
located behind the building.
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.
Updated 1111/2005
Page 5 of 8

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 iii 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
ht!p://li2o.eilr.state.nc.us/ncwetlaiids/st irr dng e.litniL
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.
No mitigation is anticipated.
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 fi-om 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 htW://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0

IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence fxom the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to
each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics
identified in the worksheet Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. if a characteristic cannot
be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where
there are obvious changes in the character of a stream tinder review (e g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream
may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score
assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality,
