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.
8. Pond Creation - N/A
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.

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. The property boundaries are
significantly constrained with respect to lot and roadwav layout. The eastern impact (Ol) is
unavoidable to access upload areas across wetland and stream. Avoiding the western impact
(02) would increase the impact to water duality presented as more area would be disturbed
and more impervious area would be constructed (the proiect is located in a water supply
watershed). Shifting the roadwav and associated right-of-way to the north in the western
impact area would also presentproblematic issues with potential access from the northern
ad1oinin~nroperty.

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 1501inear feet of total impacts to perennial streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on 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 DW(~ Draft
Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina.
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
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant' responsibility to contact the NCEEP at

Wilmington NC 28402-1890
RE: Jurisdictional Waters Impacts (USAGE RD AID SAW-2006-41292-063)
Carriage Park (Phase Two), Seven Lakes West, Moore County, North Carolina
Mr Harris,
I am writing this letter on behalf of my client, Black Point Development LLC, in regards to jurisdictional waters
impacts at Phase Two of the Carriage Park residential subdivision in Moore County North Carolina. This letter is
in response to your letter of 7 November 2006 to Tiffany Kirkpatrick of Black Point Development LLC. As per
your direction, no further impacts to jurisdictional waters have been undertaken by my client at the project site.
Through this letter (as outlined below), my client is providing the requested information regarding an explanation
of activities directly impacting jurisdictional waters as well as a timeline of work activities at the project site.
General Back round
This project is the final residential component of a master planned area within Seven Lakes West, a real estate
development project in western Moore County North Carolina. Development of Seven Lakes was begun in the
early 1970s, with Seven Lakes West undertaken as an extension of the original residential community. The
Carriage Park single family residential component of Seven Lakes West was master planned in the mid-1990s
along with the adjoining Pinnacle townhouse component and a golf course which innervated through the
Carriage Park development. Work was not completed following planning as the project experienced financial
difficulties. Infrastructure construction for Carriage Park Phase One was completed in 2003. Carriage Park Phase
Two is a conventional single family home subdivision development, with a relatively low density. The average lot
size is 0.92 acre. Thirty nine lots now comprise Phase Two (an amount less than originally proposed in the
master plan). This is the last phase of the residential development.
Project Development
Black Point Development LLC began activities to implement the final portion of the Carriage Park residential
development (Phase Two) in 2005. Regulatory agencies were informed of the project intent in late 2005 and
early 2006. These agencies included the US Army Corps of Engineers (Wilmington Regulatory Field Office), US
Fish and Wildlife Service (Sandhills Sub-office), NC Division of Water Quality (Wetlands/401 Section), NC
Division of Water Quality (Stormwater Section), NC Division of Land Resources (Land Quality Section), NC
Division of Environmental Health (Public Water Supply Section), Moore County Planning Department, Moore

County Health Department (Environmental Health Section), and Moore County Utilities Department. Detailed
information was provided to agencies at this time, including detailed plans and supplementary information sent to
the US Army Corps of Engineers and NC Division of Water Quality. This information included detailed
engineering plans. Black Point Development LLC has been open about project plans since implementation
activities began and has not attempted to hide any project activities. Beyond such, Black Point Development
LLC has requested project input from regulatory authorities, invited agencies to visit the site, and provided
representatives for on-site meetings. Prior to any agency comment or request, Black Point Development LLC
provided for conservation easements around on-site wetlands, including an additional upland buffer area. Black
Point Development LLC also: 1) investigated alternatives to the proposed wetland impacts; 2) minimized
wetland impacts to the maximum amount practicable; and 3) developed the detailed engineering plans to prevent
future wetland cut/fill impacts from residential home construction and associated activities.
Current Status
Two areas of jurisdictional waters (0.33 acres of wetlands and 601inear feet of intermittent stream) have been
impacted at the project site, as outlined in the engineering plans, preconstruction notice form, and supplementary
documents. These are the same areas as were proposed to be impacted when related to regulatory agencies
during late 2005 and early 2006 The impact areas were again related to the US Army Corps of Engineers agent
(Ms Emily Burton) during a site visit on 27 October 2006. Black Point Development LLC has offered to provide
additional information on project jurisdictional waters impacts, including as-built topographic maps of the impact
area by a licensed land surveyor (to verify the proposed impact extents as outlined on the engineering plans).
This information is being developed. Black Point Development LLC wants to work with the US Army Corps of
Engineers and other regulatory agencies to resolve this issue. Black Point Development LLC feels the best
course of action at this stage is to complete the minor remaining work to stabilize the site and move forward with
mitigation activities. Black Point Development LLC understands that jurisdictional waters at the site have been
impacted without permits for such being authorized by the relevant regulatory agencies. Black Point
Development LLC strongly desires to preserve and protect our natural resources. Black Point Development LLC
proposes to mitigate for project jurisdictional waters impacts through a combination of: 1) payment into the NC
Wetlands Trust Fund; and 2) implementation of wetland conservation easements at the site. Beyond such, the site
stormwater system has been designed to prevent increased drainage of site wetlands while increasing hydric
conditions upstream of roadway crossings. Additionally, permanent groundcover at the site (as outlined in the
engineering plans) is to be native vegetation. Black Point Development LLC has demonstrated the desire and
ability to comply with regulatory requirements through submittal and implementation of multiple plans,
documents, and project permits in an open and forthright manner.

on the site were to be delineated (not just impacted areas)
June/July/August 2006 -additional wetlands delineated (all at project site); surveyed/mapped additional
wetlands; requested site visit; submitted updated preconstruction form, engineering plans, jurisdictional wetlands
maps, additional information; road clearing and erosion control work begun, then stopped as determined all
permits were not yet obtained
August 2006 - Preconstruction meeting with County officials; lot corners staked; roadway construction across
wetlands
October 2006 -Installation of water supply system; site visit with US Army Corps of Engineers (Emily Burton)
I hope and trust that this letter provides the information you have requested and will aid efforts to resolve this
matter. Please contact me directly via telephone [phone], mobile) or email ([e-mail]) regarding
any assistance, clarification, or additional information I can provide in this matter. I sincerely appreciate your

CARRIAGE PARK PHASE TWO • SUBDIVISION APPLICATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
I. Executive Summary
The Carriage Park Phase Two project is located within Seven Lakes West (Beacon Ridge) in Moore
County North Carolina. The project is the final residential component of a master planned area within Seven
Lakes West. Real estate development in this area began in the mid-1990s. Other components of this area
include The Pinnacle, a cluster home development; Carriage Park Phase One (Section One and Section
Two), a conventional single family home subdivision development; other small conventional single family
home subdivision developments; two ponds; and an area reserved for a future golf course. The Carriage
Park Phase Two site contains 40.75 acres and is currently comprised of unmanaged woodlands (primarily
longleaf pine dominated), including two wetland areas. The project site is located within a water supply
watershed (WS-II-BW, Lumber River, Drowning Creek) and impervious surface within the overall master
planned area will be maintained below the 12% regulatory limit.
Carriage Park Phase Two is proposed by the real estate developer (Black Point Development LLC) as a
conventional single family home subdivision development, with a relatively low density. The average lot size
is 0.92 acre. Thirty nine lots are proposed. BLUE: Land, Water, Infrastructure (BLUE) is providing
consulting services for the project. Central Carolina Surveyors (CCS) is providing field surveying services
for the project.
The proposed Carriage Park Phase Two development will utilize the Moore County public water supply
system. The Carriage Park water supply system design received permit approval from the County of Moore
and the State of North Carolina several years ago. BLUE has discussed the Carriage Park Phase Two plans
with the Moore County Public Utilities Department (MCPUD). Wastewater will be managed on-site with
individual systems, expected to be conventional septic tanks and leachfields. Each lot has been planned such
that space is available for an on-site wastewater system adequate to serve a 5 bedroom home. BLUE has
discussed the Carriage Park Phase Two plans with the Moore County Environmental Health Department
(MCEHD). Roadways will maintain the wedge curb cross-section employed in Carriage Park Phase One.
Stormwater runoff will be conveyed along the roadways to curb cuts. Curb cuts will direct stormwater
runoff to inlet risers upstream of roadway crossings. This will provide detention and retention of
stormwater runoff.
Up to 9 acres of the site may be disturbed during infrastructure construction operations. An erosion and
sedimentation control system has been designed to address this disturbance during and after construction.
BLUE is coordinating this with the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR).
Filling of jurisdictional wetlands is proposed in two locations to facilitate roadway construction. BLUE is
coordinating these impacts with the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the NC Department of
Environment and Natural Resources. Species listed as endangered or threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife
Service or the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources have not been found at the site.
BLUE completed aged-Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) impact assessment for the overall project (Carriage
Park and The Pinnacle) in 1998. Four abandoned RCW cavity trees southeast of Carriage Park Phase Two
(in The Pinnacle development area) were found. No RCW cavity trees have been discovered in the Carriage
Park Phase Two area. No active RCW colonies have been found to exist within foraging range of Carriage
Park Phase Two. BLUE is coordinating development plans with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

II. Project Background
A. Location and Setting
The Carriage Park Phase Two project is located within Seven Lakes West (Beacon Ridge) in Moore
County North Carolina. The center of the site is located approximately 2,700 feet west-northwest of the
centerline intersection of NC Highway 211 and Lakeway Drive (the entrance to Seven Lakes West).
Lake Auman is located approximately 1,000 feet from the closest boundary of Carriage Park Phase
Two. The center of Lake Auman dam is located approximately 10,300 feet from the center of the site.
Along more than 80% of the site perimeter, a tract designated for golf course development adjoins the
project.
The Carriage Park Phase Two site contains 40.75 acres. Unmanaged woodlands cover the site. Most of
the area is dominated by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris). Two headwater wetlands are also present on
the site. The site does not appear to have been cultivated or timbered for many years. Fire suppression is
also evident. Some scattered pine straw raking has been occurring. Soils on the site are mapped as
Ailey, Bibb, Candor, and Vaucluse. Vaucluse dominates the site, with Ailey mapped as occurring in a
relatively small area. Bibb is present in the wetland areas. Candor is present along the ridges.

size is 0.92 acre. The smallest lot size is 0.73 acre. The largest lot size is 1.77 acre. Thirty nine lots are
proposed.
The real estate developer desires to install all project infrastructure prior to construction of housing at
the site. This infrastructure includes roadway, stormwater management, water supply, electric power,
public telephone, and local cablevision systems. Showy native vegetative species (wildflowers) are also
proposed for groundcover along roadway edges.
The project site is located within a water supply watershed (WS-II-BW, Lumber River, Drowning
Creek). Impervious surface within the overall master planned area will be maintained below the 12%
regulatory limit.
BLUE: Land, Water, Infrastructure (BLUE) is providing consulting services for the project. This
includes development of topographic information; planning revisions to site layout; updates to water
supply system; design of erosion and sedimentation control, stormwater management, and roadway
systems; selection of landscape vegetation; assessment of environmental constraints; delineation of
jurisdictional wetlands; investigation of soils; development of details plans and specifications;
preparation and submittal of permit applications. Central Carolina Surveyors (CCS) is providing field
surveying services for the project. This includes boundary surveying and mapping; construction staking;

C. Property Ownership
The Carriage Park Phase Two property was purchased by Black Point Development LLC from
Lakeside Development Company LLC on 12 January 2006. The transfer of title is recorded in Deed
Book 2962 Page 67 of the Moore County Registry. Title was transferred fee simple.
D. Utilities Service
Adequate capacity is available from utility suppliers to service the proposed Carriage Park Phase Two
development. The development will utilize the Moore County public water supply system. The Carriage
Park water supply system design received permit approval from the County of Moore and the State of
North Carolina several years ago. The proposed development is located at the interface of service limits
between Carolina Power and Light (CP&L) and Pee Dee Electric Membership Corporation (PDEMC).
Electric power service will be provided by either Carolina Power and Light or Pee Dee Electric
Membership Corporation. Cable television, high speed Internet, and digital telephone service will be
available through Time Warner Cablevision (TWC). Standard telephone service will be available from
Sprint/Centel. Solid waste collection will be provided by BFI Waste Systems.
E. Wastewater Management
Wastewater will be managed on-site with individual systems, expected to be conventional septic tanks
and leachfields. Implementation of such systems has been assessed with regards to topography and soils.
Each lot has been planned such that space is available for an on-site wastewater system adequate to
serve a 5 bedroom home, with considerations for structures, grading, and landscaping.
F. Recreational Facilities
Carriage Park Phase Two will utilize the existing recreational facilities of Seven Lakes West. These
include Lake Auman and picnic areas. Club access to Beacon Ridge will also be available.
G. EnvironmentalImpact
Water Supply Watershed Impervious Area
Carriage Park Phase Two is located within a water supply watershed (WS-II-BW, Lumber River,
Drowning Creek). This is the final residential component of a master planned area within Seven
Lakes West. Real estate development in this area began in the mid-1990s. Other components of this
area include The Pinnacle, a cluster home development; Carriage Park Phase One (Section One and
Section Two), a conventional single family home subdivision development; other small conventional
single family home subdivision developments; two ponds; and an area reserved for a future golf
course. This area comprises approximately 151.1 acres.
Within this 151.1 acre overall area, 53.4 acres are allocated for golf course (green area in Figure
II-3), 78.1 acres are allocated for single family residential lots (teal-grey area in Figure II-3), 17.2
acres are allocated for cluster homes (burgandy area in Figure II-3), and 2.3 acres are allocated for
open space (brown area in Figure II-3). Designated open space is also contained within the cluster
home areas.

CARRIAGE PARK PHASE TWO • SUBDIVISION APPLICATION SUPPLEMF,NTAL INFORMATION
~~ \~
A field inspection was undertaken during March 2006 to determine the existing impervious surface
within the 151.1 acre development area. 1t was determined that the golf course area and open space
area contained no impervious surface. The cluster home area contained 79,600 square feet (1.83
acres) of impervious surface and the single family residential area contained 221,720 square feet
(5.09 acres) of impervious surface. This is equivalent to 4.6% (6.92 acres) existing impervious
surface within the 151.1 acre development area. Impervious surface within the overall master
planned area is to be maintained below the 12% regulatory limit. As such, 7.4% (11.2 acres) of the
undeveloped area is allowed to be converted to impervious surface.
Using impervious surface area associated with similar developments and existing residences within
the overall 151.1 acre area as guidance, expected impervious surface allocations were developed for
the undeveloped area. Three units remain to be developed within the cluster home area. This
comprises 24,440 square feet (0.56 acre). Approximately 10,980 square feet (0.25 acre) of this area
is expected to be impervious surface. The golf course area is expected to include approximately
57,300 square feet (1.32 acres) of impervious surface, with provisions for parking, clubhouse, and
pathways. Sixty three lots remain to be developed within the single family residential area, including
the proposed 391ots within Carriage Park Phase Two. Allowing for expected impervious surface
within the cluster home area and golf course area, 9.7 acres are allowed to be converted to
impervious surface within the undeveloped single family residential area. Approximately 118,700
square feet (2.72 acres) is expected to be converted to impervious surface in the undeveloped lots
BLUE: Land, Water, Infrastructure Page 7 of 9

CARRIAGE PARK PHASE TWO • SUBDIVISION APPLICATION SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
outside Carriage Park Phase Two. The proposed Carriage Park Phase Two development includes
98,589 square feet (2.26 acres) of impervious surface in the form of roadways. The remaining
impervious surface would be associated with residences (roofs, drives, paths, etc). Providing for the
expected impervious surface in the undeveloped lots outside Carriage Park Phase Two as well as the
roadway impervious surface within Carriage Park Phase Two, approximately 216,580 square feet
(4.97 acres) can be converted to impervious surface within Carriage Park Phase Two. The
approximate average impervious surface per lot within the proposed Carriage Park Phase Two
would then be 5,600 square feet (0.13 acre).
2. Erosion, Sedimentation, and Stormwater Management
Roadways will maintain the wedge curb cross-section employed in Carriage Park Phase One.
Stormwater runoff will be conveyed along the roadways to curb cuts. Curb cuts will direct
stormwater runoff to inlet risers upstream of roadway crossings. This will provide detention and
retention of stormwater runoff in the wetlands and adjacent areas.
Up to 9 acres of the site may be disturbed during infrastructure construction operations. An erosion
and sedimentation control system has been designed to address this disturbance during and after
construction. native vegetative species (wildflowers) are proposed for groundcover along roadway
edges. Erosion control blankets are proposed for immediate application to slopes of 3:1 (H:V) or
steeper after the proposed land form has been achieved. Any disturbed area is proposed to be
planted with permanent ground cover and devices/structures installed sufficient to restrain erosion
within 15 calendar days of completing any phase of grading. A full erosion and sedimentation
control permit application has been submitted to the NC Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR).
Jurisdictional Waters (Streams and Wetlands)
The Carriage Park Phase Two property boundaries are significantly constrained with respect to lot
and roadway layout. Filling of jurisdictional wetlands is proposed in two locations. The impacts are
to allow construction of roadways within designated right-of--ways. The eastern fill area is along the
proposed extension of Carriage Park Drive and is expected to impact approximately 0.20 acres of
wetland. The western fill area is along the proposed Sugar Sand Lane and is expected to impact
approximately 0.19 acres of wetland. An intermittent stream channel is present in the eastern impact
area. No perennial streams are present in the impact areas.
Filling of the eastern wetland area (Carriage Park Drive) is unavoidable to allow adequate access to
upload areas across the wetland. Avoiding fill placement in the western wetland area (Sugar Sand
Lane) would increase the impact to water quality as more roadway would be required and
associated increase in disturbed area would be disturbed for roadway construction and more
impervious area would be constructed (the project is located in a water supply watershed). Shifting
the roadway and associated right-of--way to the north in the western impact area would also present
problematic issues with potential access from the northern adjoining property. A full jurisdictional
waters impact permit application will be submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers (ALOE) and
the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

4. Endangered and Threatened Species
Species listed as endangered or threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife Service or the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resources have not been found at the site. BLUE
completed aged-Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) impact assessment for the overall 151.1 acre
project area in 1998. Four abandoned RCW cavity trees southeast of Carriage Park Phase Two (in
The Pinnacle development area) were found. No Red-Cockaded Woodpecker cavity trees have been
discovered in the Carriage Park Phase Two area. No active RCW colonies have been found to exist
within foraging range of Carriage Park Phase Two. BLUE has requested notification from the US
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) of any Red-Cockaded Woodpecker colonies that might be
negatively affected by the proposed Carriage Park Phase Two development. The US Fish and
Wildlife Service has not indicated any RCW colonies would be negatively affected.
