DSAN STQ TER Bkq'CH Please find enclosed with this letter the following items: kq'CH 1) A letter from the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) dated June 9, 2004; 2) A letter from the NCDWQ dated February 9, 2005; 3) Survey Map depicting the impact area that was field reviewed, approved, and permitted by the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) in October 2004; 4) Photograph pages depicting the impacts and existing systems; and, 5) US Army Corp of Engineers Nationwide Permit for the Arbor Oaks impacts approved and dated October 26, 2004. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information concerning jurisdictional impacts and to formally withdraw our request for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification concerning the above-mentioned project. Following the receipt of your letter (dated February 9, 2005), ESP personnel visited the site on February 26, 2005 to verify and document the existing impacts. The site was visually inspected for existing conditions information; however, because the site has been delineated, surveyed and verified in the past, a jurisdictional delineation was not conducted. General site conditions, impact area, and photographs were documented according to information previously recorded for the property. Simonini Builders has completed their portion of the work for the proposed project and impacts total approximately 75 feet of stream for an existing road crossing. 961 Trinity Road, Raleigh, NC 27607, (919) 858-9200 Fax (919) 858-9300 www.espassociates.com Mr. Alan Johnson 16 March 2005 As you may recall, this project involved an after-the-fact permit submitted in June 2004 and contained approximately 75 linear feet of stream. At the time additional proposed impacts to the streams were anticipated. In October 2004 the USACE visited the site, verified the delineation, and authorized the use of nationwide permit #39 for 250 linear feet of stream impacts and 0.04 acre of wetland impacts. In addition, because of the habitat and water quality conditions with the on-site systems, the USACE did not propose the need for mitigation to these impacts (the majority of the streams were labeled unimportant). However, after further investigations as well as design alterations for the proposed development were completed, the final impacts for the development were limited to the initial 75 feet of stream. Again, our objective is to formally withdraw our request for a Section 401 Water Quality Certification concerning the above-mentioned project. Existing impacts remain at 75 linear feet of stream and are permitted by the USACE for 250 linear feet. Additional impacts may occur but are not currently proposed and it is understood that these impacts will be added to the existing impacts for a total anc complete project. If any additional impacts do occur, they will not exceed 150 feet of stream and/or 0.1 acre of wetland and NCDWQ will be notified and updated for their records. Please contact me if you have any questions or need further information. Thank you for your continued assistance with this project. Sincerely, ESP Associates, P.A.

AJSQCIAa.S, c)A.. Dear Mr. Tilghman: On May 26, 2004, the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your after-the-fact application for a General 401 Water Quality Certification for the construction of the Arbor Oaks Subdivision in Cabarrus County. On June 1, Mr. Alan Johnson with this office spoke with Mr. Sean Connoly with ESP Associates regarding the subject subdivision. Mr. Connoly informed Mr. Johnson that a road had been constructed across a stream and other stream impacts were proposed for the subdivision, and that the aforementioned after-the-fact Preconstruction Nofication form had been submitted to DWQ for the project. Based on Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Connoly's above noted conversation, and subsequent telephone conversations, the impacts shown on the submitted plan do not agree with the impacts that were previously discussed. The application shows in addition to the stream/road crossing, that permanent impacts (fill) are proposed to the wetland and stream on lots #20 and #9. These total impacts would exceed 300 linear feet of stream channel, thereby requiring an individual permit from the Army Corp of Engineers. It is Mr. Johnson's understanding that impacts to the stream would be minimized. However, the application does not reflect this. It is requested that the following information be provided to this office: • Linear feet of stream impacts for each lot. • Wetland impacts and area for each lot. • Total impacts. • Identify channels as intermittent, perennial, or ephemeral. • Proposed method of mitigation (if required). Until the DWQ receives requested information, this office is requesting (by copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for our processing pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(h). N Carolina 7M o ; atural " ENWR !?. .

On June 1, Mr. Alan Johnson with this office conducted a site inspection at the subject site. It was also determined that approximately 100 ft. of stream had been impacted due to the installation of a culvert for a road crossing. Also during the site inspection, aquatic biota was observed in the section of stream (flowing through lot #20) extending approximately 150 ft. upstream of the road crossing. Mr. Sean Connoly with ESP Associates, determined during their investigation that the stream (and the associated spur in lot #9) below the road crossing was perennial. Based on the preconstruction notification and Mr. Johnson's findings, fill of this stream channel would exceed 300 linear feet of channel and would require an individual permit from the Army Corp of Engineers. Subsequent to the above noted comments, Mr. Johnson has spoken with your representatives from ESP Associates and it is his understanding that modifications have been made to the plan that was submitted to the DWQ. Until the DWQ receives the updated modifications for the layout of the lots and which shows the stream impacts, this office is requesting (by copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for our processing pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(h). Be advised, that from a point approximately 150 ft upstream (lot #20) of the road crossing to the point at which the stream channel leaves the property (lot #8), that impacts exceeding 150 ft. must be mitigated through payment to the Ecosystem Enhancement Fund or through other means. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Alan Johnson at (704) 663-1699 or Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at (919) 733-9721.

The proposed work consisted of the placement of 130 cubic yards of material in approximately 0.05 acres of jurisdictional area for road crossings associated with a high-end residential development. Sections of this report provide a description and evaluation of specific project impacts to jurisdictional waters of the State, and ensure that the proposed work did not contravene water quality standards or change classified uses of Coddle Creek. The assessment also ensures that the proper sequencing of avoidance, minimization, and appropriate compensation for impacts not feasibly avoided, has been demonstrated. Development proposes a single-family residential development on approximately 80-acres adjacent to Coddle Creek in Cabarrus County, North Carolina outside the city of Concord. The development will be known as Arbor Oaks Subdivision. This community will provide natural resource conservation, enhancement, and preservation, while allowing for reasonable single-family community development. Proposed impacts on the 80-acre site from the Simonini Development master plan included 0.05 acres of jurisdictional impact, all of which was associated with fill of a jurisdictional ditch. The applicant proposes to create a 50' vegetated upland buffer along Coddle Creek to act as a filter for runoff associated with the project. Additionally, the applicant proposes to create a wetland detention to act as a filter for runoff associated with the development. The buffer and detention pond will act to replace the minimal water quality benefits associated with the filling of the jurisdictional ditch. BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INFORMATION The Simonini Development community is located in Cabarrus County, North Carolina outside the city of Concord on Odell School Road. The majority of the site consists of land adjacent to a tributary of Coddle Creek. The area surrounding the proposed Simonini Development community is utilized for future residential development and contains many existing residential ventures. The proposed site is located within a critical watershed area (WSI1). Due to this the maximum allowed impervious area allowed is 20%. The proposed project has an 8.8% impervious area. This includes roads, driveways, and homes. The site drains to Coddle Creels through the existing tributaries onsite. The entire tributary flowing through the Simonini Development tract is currently wooded and provides an excellent riparian buffer. Page 2 of 10 The Simonini Development tract is unique to the area due to the onsite tributaries to Coddle Creek and the existing upland access. Existing vehicle access is from Odell School Road. The Simonini Development community master plan concept is to design a high-end residential community, which will result in the creation of a unique neighborhood, complimentary in nature to the existing adjacent land uses. The design concept was based on an initial consideration of the environmental conditions of the site and resulted in proposed land uses for the Simonini Development community that complimented and enhanced these existing conditions as well as adhered to state and federal regulations. The master plan was developed to facilitate continuity and control of the initial design's integrity, environmental quality, visual quality, and other aesthetic aspects of the development. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The specific purpose of the Simonini Development master plan is to provide the direction and requirements necessary to ensure that the development is constructed to the high quality standards typical of Simonini Development. These standards are developed to facilitate necessary construction activities while minimizing and avoiding their impact on the natural environment. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT Simonini Development proposes to develop 80-acres of land in Cabarrus County off Odell School Road outside the city of Concord. All areas involved in the project have been delineated for areas within state and federal jurisdiction as well as reviewed for Threatened and Endangered Species of Concern. Simonini Development proposes the development of a single-family residential project. The specific goals of the development are to create a high quality residential real estate project that enhances the market value of the property; create a high quality alternative in the greater Concord market; create a world class and high qualityproject offering amenities, services, and products in an environmentally sensitive and well-planned manner. BASELINE CONDITION The jurisdictional areas on-site are the tributaries and adjacent wetlands associated with Coddle Creek. The hardwood communities, typical of this area, dominate the jurisdictional areas. The dominant species in the canopy of the wetlands are Acer rubrum, (Red Maple), and Liquidambar styraciflua (Sweetgum). The sub-canopy is dominated by Ilex Opaca (American Holly), Zenobia pulverulenta (Fetterbush). Additionally, the jurisdictional area, which was filled, had been impacted (under-cut) due to the extent of the surrounding development and associated runoff. Therefore, the water quality benefit associated with the ditch was greatly diminished. 404b ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS Page 3 of 10 The siting of the project is critical to its economic success. The existing pond and onsite streams are unique factors for the proposed site. The requirement for this development to be successful economically can be achieved primarily through the single-family residential community proposed for the site. The natural resources of the proj ect site have been carefully considered in planning and are primary component for the success of the proposed project. No other sites were found in the area where such a development could be successfully contemplated. In light of the overall project purposes, this was the only site available and capable of serving the purposes of the proposed project when taking costs, logistics, jurisdictional impacts, and existing methods for development into consideration. The project as planned avoids impacts on natural resources to the maximum extent practicable. Avoidance of impacts on jurisdictional areas was also a central effort in the many considerations of residential development designs. The roads, utility corridors, and other developmental aspects of the proposed project were all planned after the jurisdictional areas were thoroughly investigated. Because of the time spent investigating alternatives the applicant was able to limit jurisdictional impacts to 0.05 acres. Historic, archeological, and endangered species were investigated for the project and the searches turned up no significant findings. All environmental and regulatory requirements have been met or exceeded to the maximum extent possible in the development of the master plan. The efforts to avoid impacts on the jurisdictional areas and other resources of the Project site included identifying the resources, mapping them, and developing plans for the uses of the property that had the least impact. The concept of an estate subdivision plan (2.5+ acre lots) was accepted over standard single-family subdivision layout (0.2 acre lots) in an effort to reduce impacts to natural resources. The estate design concept also allowed for the impervious area to be reduced to 8.8%; below the required 20% for critical watersheds. Research has stated that when a project's impervious area is below 10%, with a riparian buffer, the project will not cause or contribute to further degradation of a watershed. The jurisdictional area was spread over approximately 15 % of the project site and right the through the middle of the site. Complete avoidance of jurisdictional areas was not possible in spite of a significant level of effort on the part of the planners and engineers for the project. As impacts from preliminary plans were identified, the proj ect engineers and planners worked with the landowners to redesign the community layout to minimize and avoid the impacts. The redesign of one area often led to additional changes that also had impacts. The impacts associated with the project are for roadway access to proposed lots within the subdivision. It was finally determined that economic success could be realized if the project was converted to an estate single-family residential community, thus reducing the number of lots that would need access. The proj ect has undergone rigorous environmental and economic analysis. The proj ect entails very low-density development plans far below allowed limits. The total impervious area will be 8.8% well below the allowable 20%. Page 4 of 10 However, the process, which lasted more than 9 months, eventually resulted in an avoidance and minimization of jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent practicable for the single-family development. The impacts to the jurisdictional areas are consistent with similar projects previously approved by state and federal agencies. The proj ect engineers and planners also went through a process of avoiding and minimizing impacts in developing the plans for roads, infrastructure, and other uses of the property. Significant site features, such as natural drainage paths, large trees and stands of trees, were also taken into consideration in the planning efforts to minimize jurisdictional areas impacts. Stormwater management planning, irrigation planning, and utilities placement were all conducted with the goal of avoiding identified resources. The application for the jurisdictional area alterations describes the areas where jurisdictional area impacts are unavoidable. Practicable alternatives were not available for the alterations sought in the application. Minimization of impacts has resulted in only 0.05 acres of fill within jurisdictional ditches. There was only 1-area proposed for impact where the project purposes could not be accomplished with any practicable alternatives in light of the available resources for the project. In the process of trying to avoid jurisdictional areas and minimize the fill, many other wetland areas were being impacted because it was not possible to move the elements of the plans without encountering other jurisdictional areas. The cost of the planning and redesign to avoid and minimize the jurisdictional areas is substantial, and additional investment in the effort is not cost effective. The spatial distribution of the jurisdictional areas creates a diminishing return on additional efforts to redesign or relocate project improvements. The area filled for the road crossing will have minimal impact on the associated tributary because the culverts were adequately sized to handle 10-year stormevent. To ensure the proposed freshwater impacts are negligible the applicant placed a 36" culvert upstream and a 42" culvert downstream to maintain natural hydrology and reduce impacts to all natural resources. Furthermore, all culverts were placed below the fill material and these culverts were placed at the same elevation as the flood plain to prevent erosion and allow unrestricted aquatic life passage. Because of the nature of the low-density development, which results in more than 25 % of the developable area, left in green space, further avoidance was not feasible and would of made the project economically unsuccessful. Alternatives for the unavoidable alteration of the jurisdictional areas include not proceeding with the Project (no action alternative), or reducing the scope of the Project below the point of its being feasible economically. The siting of the project is crucial to its success, making movement to another site impracticable. The scope of the investment in the project is significant. Furthermore, the impacts were kept below the 0.1-acre threshold and were further reduced to 0.05-acres. In light of the overall project purposes, the factors of cost, natural resources, engineering, and logistics, and the many months of effort to avoid and minimize the impacts, no practicable alternatives are identified for the impacts of the jurisdictional areas shown in the application. Page 5 of 10 COMPENSATION FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS The basic compensation offered is the buffering of onsite tributaries to Coddle Creek. The compensation goes to replacing the minimal water quality benefits lost in filling of the impaired jurisdictional area, for road crossing. All upland buffers will be preserved by restrictive covenants. Furthermore the wetland created with the detention system will actually improve water quality benefits of the jurisdictional area lost. Proposed compensation includes the creation of a thirty (30) foot riparian buffer along the onsite tributaries to Coddle Creek. Furthermore, the tributary will be investigated to see ifbankfull benches should be installed at several key locations. In order to maintain the integrity of the compensation area the following will be incorporated into the development covenant and restrictions: The buffer boundaries will be marked with permanent signs that provide warning that the area is not to be impacted and whom to contact. All new owners will be fully informed about buffer limits/uses when property is sold or transferred. All buffers will be checked annually by Simonini Development staff to ensure integrity. LAND USE ENHANCEMENT The following is a summary of prominent measures likely to result from the land use planning effort that is proposed as part of the compensation package: Reduce non-point source pollution Decrease upland surface runoff Increase sheet flow through substantial upland buffer Decrease peak storm water discharge rate Increase infiltration of surface runoff Decreased depth to groundwater within upland buffer areas Decrease sediment and contaminants Enhance opportunity for habitat enhancement GENERAL ENHANCEMENT/RESTORATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The average buffer width for the entire tract averages thirty (30) feet in the Master Plan. The proposed upland buffers should protect the physical and ecological integrity of the stream/wetland ecosystem. Page 6 of 10 The upland buffer and proposed bankfull benches should provide the following enhancements to the wetland/stream complex: Creation of floodplain wetlands Provide shade that reduces water temperature within tributaries of Coddle Creek. Cause deposition of (i.e., filter) sediments and other contaminants from adjacent land use. Reduce nutrient loads to tributaries of Coddle Creek. Provide riparian wildlife habitat. Protect fish habitat. Maintain aquatic food webs. Provide a visually appealing greenway. Provide recreational opportunities. Dissipate the energy of the stream during bankfull rain events. Reduce erosion of stream banks and prevent undercutting of the stream. Except for providing for limited clearing or under brushing according to approved master plan guidance, where the clearing will be limited to 4" DBH or less, the buffer will be retained and maintained to the extent feasible, as will woody debris and stumps in the upland buffer. In addition, to providing habitat and erosion and sediment control, these features should provide seed sources as well as important vertical diversity. The gradual change from upland buffer edge to stream/wetland core will soften environmental gradients and minimize any associated effects. The model conservation easement published by the Corps will be used as a guide for the restrictive covenants. Use of compensatory compensation is the only practicable alternative for the unavoidable impacts minimized through the planning process. CONCLUSION The placement of fill material in jurisdictional areas may have caused a temporary increase in turbidity levels in adjacent waterbodies, but ambient conditions should have resumed once the work was completed. Water quality standards were not be contravened and designated uses were not changed by the placement of fill material in jurisdictional areas. The Simonini Development project has successfully avoided or minimized the impacts on site through a long and careful planning process. Of more than 0.95 acres of jurisdictional area spread out over more than 15 % of the project site, only 0.05-acres was impacted. The significant investment in the proj ect includes an effort of more than nine months in redesign of the single-family residential development as well as the infrastructure and other project components specifically to avoid and minimize jurisdictional area impacts. The time spent in redesign determined that the project could meet its goals as an estate subdivision and return reduce impervious area to 8.8%, thus creating no impact to the Coddle Creek watershed. The 404(b)(1) Guidelines requirements are met by the project, as demonstrated by the significant investment in design and avoidance. The project site is uniquely suited to the project because of residential zoning, the proximity, the existence of a Page 7 of 10 pond, and direct access to tributaries to Coddle Creek. No practicable alternatives remain to further minimize or avoid the unavoidable impacts of the proposed projects. Upland riparian buffer and bankfull benches are proposed as the only remaining practicable alternative for the unavoidable impacts. Previous sections of this assessment have provided a description and evaluation of specific project impacts to jurisdictional waters of the State, and provided recommendations and modifications, when necessary, to ensure that the proposed work will not contravene water quality standards or change classified uses of Coddle Creek. The above assessment also ensures that the proper sequencing of avoidance, minimization, and appropriate compensation for impacts not feasibly avoided, has been demonstrated. Though the application is an after the fact permit request it has been successfully demonstrated that environmental concerns were addressed early in the planning process and that water quality was protected through out the hole process by the use of BMPs during the filling process. Additionally, the applicant was aware that pollutants present in fill material could have been released if the material erodes during storm events and enters adjacent waters or jurisdictional areas. Therefore, the use of only clean fill material, free of pollutant, was used to prevent water quality degradation from contamination from such pollutants.
