For each component, the methods range from simple to complex. For the type of analysis that you discussed, I would recommend simple to mid-range approaches. For estimating watershed loading to the lake, methods along these lines would include simple export coeffients, loading functions, and empirical equations. A mid-range approach would be something like GWLF. For lake response, you may consider simple EPA screening methods, BATHTUB, and EUTROMOD. Caution: several of the empirical and mass balance models assume phosphorus limitation. So if that's not the case, then these cannot be used. BATHTUB would be my preference. BATHTUB was used for Randleman Lake and I used it for the Roberson Creek cove TMDL. I've provided some references for model selection below. Protocol for Developing Nutrient TMDLs EPA 841B99007 November, 1997 Compendium of Tools for Watershed Assessment and TMDL Development EPA 841B97006 May, 1997 Nutrient Criteria Technical Guidance Manual for Lakes and Reservoirs EPA 822F00002 April, 2000 Couple points regarding the modeling analysis. Don't assume phosphorus limitation. Should make a determination of expected nutrient limitation based on loading ratio (N:P). Chl a target should be a 10% exceedence frequency of 40 ug/L. Should probably be based on the growing season. That's what we used in Roberson and Jordan Lake, althought slightly different definitions of the growing season. Most common is May through September.

Dear Mr. Farlow: RE: Kings View Golf Clinks Randolph County DWQ # 04-0789 Action ID No. 200321395 On May 11, 2004, the Division received a copy of the Public Notice for the above- mentioned project that proposes to fill 405 feet of stream channel and flood 1,108 feet of stream channel in order to construct a golf course. Staff have begun to review this application. However an application fee of $475 must be received by the Division before we can complete our review of this project. Please make a check out to "NC Division of Water Quality" and send it to our offices c/o Beverly Strickland who will process it. Also please refer to the DWQ project number with the correspondence. The following technical issues will also need to be addressed before we can complete our review of this project. Until this information and application fee are received, this project will remain on hold as incomplete and our 60-day review time will not begin. 1. Please address how you plan to maintain low flow from the pond to downstream waters. A target flow of 7Q10 is suggested for design purposes. USGS estimates of this flow are acceptable to DWQ. 2. Please provide modeling or other evidence that shows that the pond will meet water quality standards especially the chlorophyll a and dissolved oxygen standards. The underlying question is whether the pond will become eutrophic and thereby violate water quality standards. 3. Please address how stormwater will be managed from the golf course. DWQ cannot permit any direct discharge of stormwater from the golf course into streams so please provide a stormwater plan that meets this criterion. 4. Compensatory stream mitigation - DWQ will require compensatory stream mitigation for the fill of 405 feet of stream for the dam. Your proposed stream mitigation does not meet the policy guidance for stream mitigation. In addition, utilization of stream locations as mitigation while also planning the golf course layout to play across the stream is not acceptable mitigation since a wooded buffer cannot be established in these areas.

Mack Summey, Jr." <mack@asheboro.com> Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 19:48:20 -0400 To: "'Cyndi Karoly"' <Cyndi.Karoly@ncmail.net> Cyndi Hope you are doing ok, been meaning to call you. I have some questions on the Kings View Golf Links project in Sophia that I have been working on. I spoke with John about the comments and he said a site visit might be in order but he said he would pass the comments on to you since you have been on-site and it would take forever for him to get out there. I have submitted for the IP permit and worked very closely with Todd Tugwell and Andrea Wade on the mitigation lengths and such and thought I had a good plan. Specifically my questions are as follows: 1 - Question 2 requested I provide modeling or other evidence that that the pond will meet water quality standards especially in the Chlorophyl A and DO standards. The underlying question is whether the pond will become eutrophic or not. I have talked to several people and no one knows how to do that .... Can you give me any recommendations as to how to resolve this. I have seen several golf courses with ponds much smaller with much less flow than this one and they have no problems at all. I don't know why this is even a question. Please let me know what you think. 2 - The question was asked how the stormwater will be managed from the golf course. We are developing a plan to where there will be no direct pipe discharge into any stream. Each discharge pipe from the sand traps or from where ever will be ran thru a level spreader to ensure nothing is concentrated into the buffer areas. The parking lot area and clubhouse roof will discharge to either a bio-cell or other means (not yet thought of by me, that is cheaper,....open for suggestions) All impervious golf cart path runoff will go thru several feet of grass prior to entering the streams. Does that sound ok? 3- The biggie.... It stated that compensatory mitigation will be required for the 405 If (actually 385 ft) of stream that is impacted. Actually only 148 +/- is impacted at the dam, and at Hole No. 12 there is approx 240 If that is piped. The letter stated that. my plan does not meet the policy guidelines for such work and utilization of the stream locations as mitigation while also planning the golf course layout to play across the stream is not acceptable since a wooded buffer would not be there. I guess to begin with, I made a special trip to Raleigh to meet Todd and Andrea and go thru the ratios and mitigation plan. used the exact distances they recommended me use ( I was confused on the chart so I learned from them how to account for the ratios for the different type mitigation options chose) We came up with how many feet to enhance and how many feet of buffer to put into the conservation easement. One thing I ask you to consider (which is what Todd and Andrea considered) is the bad shape of whats there now. If you remember, the streams are in bad shape and anything we do will be a great benefit. On the flooded channel part the Corp was allowing us to go 1/2:1. Finally, I don't understand the very last comment about the wooded stream buffers. We can't plant trees because of it being a golf course but when our mitigation plans were done for the enhancement and other items we would use low growing varieties of plants suited for stream enhancement and restoration. Please let me know if any of this makes sense. I told John I would do a summary of how we came up with the lengths we are proposing if need be. Just let me know. Thanks!

Action ID No. 200321395 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NC WRC) have reviewed the subject document. A site visit was conducted on 2 June 2004 to further assess impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G. S. 113-131 et seq.). The applicant proposes to place fill material into 148 linear feet, flood 1,108 linear feet, and pipe 240 linear feet of an unnamed tributary of Caraway Creek in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin. Construction activities include a 5-acre irrigation lake, associated fairways, and a proposed intake structure. Additionally, the applicant proposes to discharge fill material into 12 linear feet of Caraway Creek associated with the construction of a temporary access road for construction vehicles until bridge construction is completed. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels by providing 582 linear feet of Stream Enhancement H designs to the same unnamed tributary located on-site and to mitigate for impacts associated with lake construction and intake structure by preserving and enhancing a 75-foot buffer on an unnamed tributary located off-site. Detailed plans for the mitigation sites were not available at time of the site visit. The unnamed tributary is approximately 3 feet wide and appears to be intermittent. The riparian area that will be impacted from dam construction and channel impoundment consists of grasses, aged cropland, and is minimally forested. The stream in this area is channelized, overgrown with grasses and weeds, and is of degraded quality. Upstream of the proposed impoundment, the applicant proposes to pipe 240 linear feet of the unnamed tributary for construction of a fairway. The riparian area consists of hardwood trees and grasses; the channel is sinuous, has stable banks, and is less degraded compared to downstream conditions. Caraway Creek is approximately 15 feet wide and has a cobble, gravel, and bedrock substrate. It sustains adequate pool and riffle sequences and has a naturally forested riparian area. There are records for the following federal species of concern and state endangered species in Caraway Creek - brook floater (Alasmidonta varicosa), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masom), and Carolina creekshell (Vllosa vaughaniana). Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 • Fax: (919) 715-7643 Page 2 9 June 2004 404-Farlow PN 200321395 The consultant for the project, Mack Summey of Summey Engineering Associates, indicated that design changes have been implemented to reduce impacts from those originally proposed We appreciate that the proposed impacts from dam construction and channel impoundment have been decreased by 427 linear feet compared to the original layout for the irrigation lake. We hesitate to concur with the construction of dams on streams due to the potential for downstream stream bed erosion and degradation caused by outfall waters that are relatively free of sediment (Kondolf 1997). Also, impounding aquatic resources will remove their natural functionality and will likely result in vegetation shifts and water quality modification with concomitant changes in wildlife and fish species compositions. However, given the degraded habitat conditions of the stream and riparian area, we will not object to the dam construction and channel impoundment. The placement of a concrete intake structure in Caraway Creek should have minimal impacts to stream habitats and organisms. However, case should be taken when installing the intake line to minimize impacts to the stream bank and riparian area. Additionally, the intake structure should utilize passive screens with openings not to exceed 1 centimeter and with a maximum intake velocity of 0.5 fps (feet per second). The intake structure should be marked in a manner that will reduce hazards to navigation during and after construction. We hesitate to concur with the piping of any stream due to the potential negative impacts to downstream areas and the elimination of fish and wildlife habitat. Stream piping reduces the infiltration of stormwater and associated pollutants, as well as the dissipation of stream energy. Culverting a stream and placing it underground obviously removes both aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Existing uses by wildlife are lost and future opportunities to improve aquatic diversity are precluded. We feel that the section of stream that flows through proposed fairway #12 has good aquatic habitat, therefore, we cannot concur with the piping of the stream channel for construction of fairway #12. Additionally, we recommend that a minimum 50-foot buffer is maintained along this section of stream. We recognize that a native, forested riparian buffer is not be feasible, but recommend that a buffer of native, low growing shrubs and herbaceous plants is established to minimize impacts to the stream channel and water quality. Additionally, we cannot concur with adding fill material to create a 12-foot wide temporary crossing of Caraway Creek. A 12-foot wide bridge across Caraway Creek is being constructed to accommodate golf course maintenance vehicles. Therefore, we feel that this bridge should be used by construction vehicles to cross the stream as opposed to creating a temporary crossing. We are particularly concerned about the many listed species that are located in Caraway Creek downstream of this proposed impact. - , The mitigation proposed for the dam construction, channel impoundment, and intake structure placement appears adequate for the proposed impacts. However, the designs associated with the Stream Enhancement II plans should be further detailed We are pleased that the buffer preservation and enhancement sites will meet the 380 tree per acre guidelines and that these areas will be placed in a Land Conservation Easement. Should the permit be issued, we recommend that the following conditions be incorporated into the permit to minimize impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Remaining wetlands and streams on the site should be protected from additional impacts by placing them in a permanent conservation easement to prohibit filling, draining, flooding, and excavation. Page 3 9 June 2004 404-Farlow PN 200321395 2. In order to minimize stream impacts, while retaining some measure of wildlife habitat, we recommend a 100-foot undisturbed, native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a 50-foot buffer along intermittent streams and wetlands. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will minimize impacts to fish and wildlife resources, water quality, aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area, and help prevent the extirpation of endangered and threatened species. In addition, wide riparian buffers are helpful in maintaining stability of stream banks and for treatment of pollutants. Whereas, a grassed buffer, particularly fescue, is a vegetated buffer but will not provide the necessary and highly valuable functions as discussed for forested buffers. 3. A detailed mitigation plan should be submitted and approved before impacts occur. Additionally, should piping of the stream for construction of fairway #12 be permitted, we suggest a compensatory mitigation ratio of 2:1. 4. If culverts are used, the culvert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed. This will allow sufficient water depth in the culvert or pipe during normal flows to accommodate aquatic life. Culverts or pipes should be situated so that no channel realignment or widening is required. Widening of the channel at the inlet or outlet of structures usually causes a decrease in water velocity causing sediment deposition that will require future maintenance. Finally, riprap should not be placed on the streambed. 5. Locate sewers and other utilities as far away from creeks as functionally possible and minimize stream crossings. It is preferable that sewers be located outside the riparian buffers. 6. Excavated materials should not be stockpiled where sediment will erode to surface waters. 7. Wet concrete is toxic to aquatic organisms. Construction procedures which prevent wet concrete from contacting surface waters should be used. 8. We request that stormwater best management practices be included Grassed swales should be used instead of curb and gutter for conveyance, and water from parking lots and buildings should be sheet flowed into grassed swales or routed to bioretention areas, also referred to as rain gardens. If parking lots are to be landscaped, we request these be designed as bioretention areas instead of raised islands. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project.

P JU1 0 2 2004 IE s tif,Vll.e.?;t May 10, 2004 Mr. Terry Farlow, 3232 Mt. Olive Church Road, Sophia, Randolph County, 27350, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL INTO 405LINEAR FEET OF STREAM CHANNEL AND TO FLOOD 1,108 LINEAR FEET OF STREAM CHANNEL, ALONG CARAWAY CREEK AND TWO OF ITS UNNAMED TRIBUTARIES, IN THE YADKIN-PEEDEE RIVER BASIN, ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GOLF COURSE (KING'S VIEW GOLF LINKS), IN SOPHIA, RANDOLPH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed development of a 186.38-acre commercial golf course, including the construction of a 5-acre irrigation lake and an intake structure located in Caraway Creek to sustain irrigation needs of the golf course. The project site is located at 3258 Farlow Pines Road, in Sophia, Randolph County, North Carolina. The proposed project would involve the placement of fill material into five linear feet of Caraway Creek for the proposed construction of the intake structure. The project also involves the discharge of fill material into 148 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Caraway Creek or the construction of the proposed dam and subsequent flooding of approximately 1,108 linear feet of the stream channel. The project would impact an additional 240 linear feet of stream through pipe placement and filling of another unnamed tributary to Caraway Creek associated with the construction of Fairway Number 12. Finally, the project would involve the temporary discharge of fill material into twelve linear feet of stream channel associated with the construction of a temporary access road across Caraway Creek for construction access until bridge construction is completed. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels associated with the project through stream enhancement and buffer preservation and enhancement. The applicant would provide 582 linear feet of Stream Enhancement 11 to compensate for impacts at Sites 1 and 3. For further information about stream enhancement levels, please see the Stream Mitigation Guidelines available at: http://www.saw.usace.army.miYWETLANDS/Mitigation/stream mitigation.html. Furthermore, he proposes to provide a 75-foot buffer along 1,435 linear feet of stream channel to mitigate for impacts associated with the pond construction and intake structure. The proposed restoration and preservation sites are depicted on the attached plans; however, submittal of the detailed plans for the mitigation sites is still pending. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will 'a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein. Based on the best available evidence, it has been determined that no sites within the vicinity of•the project are registered or listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Examination of the National Register of Historic Places constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of other such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts that the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors, which become relevant in each particular P-' case. The benefits, which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be?_ -- balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors that may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit modification will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Wetlands /401 Unit, North Carolina DENR, Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh, North Carolina.

We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived. In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an extension of time, by July 12, 2004, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred. Should you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please don't hesitate to contact Andrea Wade at (919) 876-8441, extension 31. Sincerely, Jean B. Manuele Chief, Raleigh Field Office Enclosure WETLANDS! 401 GROUP DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY MAY 1 1 2004 Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers 4V Post Office Box 1890 A'i EFt QUALITY SECTION Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Action ID No. 200321395 May 10, 2004 PUBLIC NOTICE 040789 Mr. Terry Farlow, 3232 Mt. Olive Church Road, Sophia, Randolph County, 27350, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL INTO 405LINEAR FEET OF STREAM CHANNEL AND TO FLOOD 1,108 LINEAR FEET OF ?? - STREAM CHANNEL, ALONG CARAWAY CREEK AND TWO OF ITS UNNAMED TRIBUTARIES, IN THE YADKIN-PEEDEE RIVER BASIN, ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A GOLF COURSE (KING'S VIEW GOLF LINKS), IN SOPHIA, RANDOLPH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed development of a 186.38-acre commercial golf course, including the construction of a 5-acre irrigation lake and an intake structure located in Caraway Creek to sustain irrigation needs of the golf course. The project site is located at 3258 Farlow Pines Road, in Sophia, Randolph County, North Carolina. The proposed project would involve the placement of fill material into five linear feet of Caraway Creek for the proposed construction of the intake structure. The project also involves the discharge of fill material into 148 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Caraway Creek or the 45 construction of the proposed dam and subsequent flooding of approximately 1,108 linear feet of '?-c.F v the stream channel. The project would impact an additional 240 linear feet of stream through pipe placement and filling of another unnamed tributary to Caraway Creek associated with the construction of Fairway Number 12. Finally, the project would involve the temporary discharge of fill material into twelve linear feet of stream channel associated with the construction of a temporary access road across Caraway Creek for construction access until bridge construction is completed. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to stream channels associated with the project through stream enhancement and buffer preservation and enhancement. The applicant would provide 582 linear feet of Stream Enhancement 11 to compensate for impacts at Sites 1 and 3. For further information about stream enhancement levels, please see the Stream Mitigation Guidelines available at: http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/WETLANDS/Mitigation/stream mitigation.html. i r T Furthermore, he proposes to provide a 75-foot buffer along 1,435 linear feet of stream channel to mitigate for impacts associated with the pond construction and intake structure. The proposed restoration and preservation sites are depicted on the attached plans; however, submittal of the detailed plans for the mitigation sites is still pending. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will 'a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein. Based on the best available evidence, it has been determined that no sites within the vicinity of the project are registered or listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Examination of the National Register of Historic Places constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of other such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts that the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors, which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits, which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors that may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit modification will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Wetlands /401 Unit, North Carolina DENR, Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Wetlands/401 Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27699- 1650, on or before June 1, 2004, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.

The site is approximately 186.38 acres. See sheet #1 for the Vicinity Map showing the location of the site. The Farlow Family has owned the property and ran a dairy farm since the early 1950's. Due to relentless regulations the dairy farm had to close down in 2001 after over 50 years of milk production. The property consists of over 100 acres of farm land that was used for crop production for many years. Approximately 28 acres is wooded. To maintain income, the family has proposed to turn their farm into the only true golf links course in the area in order to maintain ownership of their property. Several developers have approached the Farlow's in hopes of developing the property into a subdivision but the family desires to keep their property. The project we propose is for the development of an 18 hole links golf course with an irrigation lake centrally located to provide water for the yards. It is estimated the irrigation system would use in excess of 1 million gallons per day. It would not be feasible to purchase this amount of water even if it was available. It is necessary to have an irrigation lake for this reason. As you can see from the site plans on sheets #7 & #8, the project is very complex. The site contains several linear feet of perennial, intermittent and ephemeral channels. See sheet #3 for the existing channel/stream summary for the site. This sheet describes each channels importance as described by both the NCDENR-DWQ Wetland Unit and the US Army Corp of Engineers. Stream determinations have been made by the proper agencies as listed on the summary sheet. Several site visits have been performed by the engineer with both USACE and DWQ staff in the planning for this project. Many months of preparation has been made in the planning for this project resulting in what we consider as minimal impacts to the site stream/channel networks when considering there are over 7,500 If of channels on the site. The development of the irrigation lake will affect a perennial stream in two ways. First, the dam construction will require a pipe to be placed that will impact 1181f of stream. Including the erosion control rip rap outlet protection, the impact is 1481f. Secondly, the dam itself will flood approximately 11081f of channel. These are described in the application as Impacts #I and #2 respectively. Impact #3 consists of piping approximately 2401f of stream for the construction of Hole #12. Impact #4 includes a temporary stream crossing in Caraway Creek. This crossing would be approximately 12 wide made of stone for the crossing of trucks as required during construction. The stone crossing would be removed and the creek brought back to its original condition once the construction was completed. The creek bottom is almost solid rock as it is now which will result in low disturbance. Impact #5 consists of placement of a precast conc. Intake structure with a minimum disturbance of 51f in creek. Mitigation plans are also included in this application. In summary, these mitigation plans consist of enhancing approximately 5821f of stream to an Enhancement II level for the 3881f of stream that is proposed to be piped. Additional mitigation includes the preservation and enhancement of approximately 14351f of stream buffer areas on a separate piece of property. This enhancement consists of establishingtrestoring a 75 ft buffer on each side of the existing creek and placing the property in a land conservation easement that is held by a third party. Please refer to the other parts of this application for more details concerning the impacts, avoidance and minimization efforts, and mitigation proposals. toy 23 sheet S of 23 Summcy EnginccringAssociatcs, fuc INDEX MAP ?nsineeiing-Land Plannins- Consultins ,o,}s ca sue.

As the items summarized below indicate, no feasible offsite alternative is even practical for this project. As noted earlier in the project summary this project was developed as an alternative to the family farm that is out of business and in lieu of developing a subdivision. It would not be feasible or even possible for the family in any way to purchase another piece of property and do this project even if one existed. After much research and contacting two realtors familiar with the Randolph County area, no other sites simply exist that would serve the purpose for the project. Below are items that were looked at: • Alternates sites are simply not available for this project either onsite or off-site that comply with development plans. • An off line lake for irrigation was considered but is simply not feasible with the site features present with the given land. • Land in the project vicinity is not for sale that would provide the same or similar project characteristics. • No land with existing pond sites are for sale in this area with development potential. • Local licensed real estate agents familiar with Randolph County were consulted for property listings in the area that would sustain this type development but none existed. The land owner desires to develop his family property that has the hydrologic characteristics to support a healthy thriving irrigation lake environment. Most other channels/streams on the tract owned by the family whether perennial or intermittent will be protected. °\ *4 Z3 Avoidance & Minimization May hours have been spent revising the original plan in order to avoid and minimize impacts to the channels and streams located on the project. Almost every hole was piped to begin with that had a channel flowing through it but now all but one has been opened up and will be preserved. The following list shows the effort put forth and compromises made by the family in order to minimize the affects the original plan had on the streams. • Alternates sites are simply not available as seen in the "Offsite Alternative Analysis" below for this type project either onsite or offsite that comply with development plans. • Land in the project vicinity is not for sale that would provide the same or similar project characteristics. • No land with existing pond sites is for sale in this area with development potential. • The land owner desires to develop only his property that has the hydrologic characteristics to support a healthy thriving pond environment. Other portions of the tract owned by the developer are located on higher ground with no positive hydrologic features that would aid in the development of a pond. • This irrigation lake will be imperative to the development of this proposed golf course by providing a source of adequate irrigation. • The dam height has been reduced by eight (8) feet from the original size the developer planned for due to efforts to minimize impacts to the stream areas surrounding the site. This reduction in height and width of dam reduced the channel being filled approximately 50 feet. See Sheet # I I • The dam height reduction decreased the water level thus reducing the flooded channel impacts by approximately 350 feet. • Approximately 1.8 Acres of additional land was purchased from an adjacent property owner for over S 12,000.00 in order to move Hole #4 and avoid impacting the Stream "N". This reduced piping a perennial stream by over 250 feet. • Hole #5 will be moved back to reduce the piping impacts to the perennial stream by over 250 feet. • Channel Banks along Hole #3 will retain the tree root system and plant root structures and not be cleared and grassed all the way down to the waters edge as previously planned. The root system will be maintained for erosion protection. • Channel Banks along Hole #4 will retain the tree roots and plant root structures and not be cleared and grassed all the way down to the waters edge as previously desired. The root system will be maintained for erosion protection. • Stream thru Hole # 10 was originally proposed to be piped but will now be part of the mitigation for the site that will include stream enhancement II. This reduced piping impacts 350 feet. • Stream thru Hole # 13 was originally proposed to be piped but is now undisturbed. This reduced piping impacts by 320 feet on an intermittent stream. • Stream thru Hole #17 was originally proposed to be piped but is now undisturbed. This reduced piping impacts by 240 feet on a perennial stream. • Stream thru Hole # 18 was originally proposed to be piped but is now undisturbed. This reduced piping impacts by 345 feet on a perennial stream. • Headwalls have been added to the dam outlet pipe reducing the disturbance by approximately 20 feet. • Headwalls have been added to Hole #12 on the pipe to reduce impacts by approximately 15 feet. As stated above, much effort has been put forth to minimize the stream impacts. Impacts of almost 2,500 If have been reduced through the avoidance and minimization process. 10 04 z3 V I sheet[ of 213 ,5ummcy EnginccringAssociates, PLLC ORIGINAL POND LAYOUT Engineering-Land f lanninS- ConsultinJY IRRIGATION LAKE - KINGS VIEW GOLF UNKS A. gNC2,mj SOMIA, MNDOIM COUNTY, NORTH CAROUNA P?? i76-i1?-o902 P? ii6ils-o911 ?••?-? ?.

August 20, 2003 Re: King's View Golf Links To: Project Team The following is an effort to quantify our potential impacts to channels, to understand the scope of those impacts, and to put it all into perspective. (Please note that all distances are approximate.) Channel. A: The longest channel running North to South on which the hrigation Lake is to be sited. Channel B: The channel running North to South through the proposed Practice Range. Channel C: The channel running East to West which skirts the edge of Paul's property. Caraway Creels: Running West to East in the southern part of the property. Channel D: Than channel running West to East and feeding into Caraway Creek from the South. Existing Length of Channels Channel A: 3,950 If. Channel R: 1,050 If. (this is a best guess at how much of the channel will be claimed) Channel C: 1,400 It Caraway: 650 It Channel • 900 if. Total: 7,850 If. Aa presently proposed by the Route Plan, the total length of channel disturbance within the Property i3 3,135 If. (or 40% of the channels). Channel A: 1,700 If. of impact. Channel B: 7001f. of impact. Channel C: 735 If of impact. Caraway: no impact Channel D: no impact 1313 FOLGER DRIVE, DELMONT.

(919) 960-4103 We have identified areas in which channel impacts can be reduced by introducing forced carries and reducing total golf course yardage: Revisions to Reduce Impacts: Hole #12: Reduce piping & impact by 75 If. Hole #13: Eliminate piping & reduce impact by 1801f. Hole #14: Eliminate piping & educe impact by 150 If. Hole #15: Eliminate piping & reduce Impact by 180 If Hole 017: Eliminate piping & reduce impact by 250 If. Hole #18• Reduce piping, and impact by 25 If. Total Impact Reduction: 860 If These reductions in impact would reduce the total impact on channels from 3,135 If. to 2,275 If. Channel impact would be reduced from 401A to 29% of the channels on the property. We would preserve 71% of the channels (or 5,575 If. of the existing 7,850 If.) Breakdown of Impacts: Channel A: 1,2001£ for the Irrigation Lake. 175 If of pipe on Hole # 12. Existing: 3,950 If. Impact: 1,375 If. Preserved: 2,550 If.

Discussion of Impacts and Perspective: Our two most significant channel impacts occur with the Irrigation Cake and the Practice Range. These two features account for 1,900 if (84%) of our impacts. The remaining channel disturbances 1513 FOLCLA DIUVL,1ELMO4T, CA1.iFO11MA 94M USA • TEL: (6M 62F9676- FAX: (65w) 62 }767 • k"V:Nwww40pCdLcm 614 MORCAN CREEK ROAD, CRAM.

We must have an adequate water supply for golf course irrigation. Capturing the runoff from both on and off-site provide us with this irrigation supply. A lake location on the southern part of Channel A provides us with the best opportunity to capture substantial volumes of water. Wells in this area provide inadequate yields for golf course irrigation. The terrain is such that attempting to excavate a lake of sufficient storage capacity outside of the channels would acquire tremendous amounts of earthwork, would significantly increased site disturbance and would be cost prohibitive. We simply have no alternative. Perhaps on the positive side, even though the irrigation lake will impact 1,200 If, of channel, the channel will be rtplaced by a 5.1 acre body of water. Practice Range: It is unclear at this time how much protected channel will be claimed along Channel B. Channel R is the channel that bisects the Practice Range. IIopefully the length of protected channel here can be minimized, thereby minimizing our impact. Regardless, the orientation, topography and location of this area is ideal for the Practice Range. Preservation of this section of Channel B would require a relocation of the Practice Range, Clubhouse Site and the rerouting of virtually every golf hole The proposed Clubhouse Site and Practice Range location are critical to the flow and sequence of golf holes, to the overall appeal of the golf course and to its ultimate success. The golf course, as designed, follows the path of least resistance on the land-fbrm. It fits comfortable on the land, thereby minimizing earthwork and site disturbance. A relocation of the Practice Range and Clubhouse will require the Practice Range and numerous golf holes to be forced on the site leading to significant increases in both cost and site disturbance. The Edgar Road Property: A preliminary look at the mapping for this property indicates that we could dedicate approximately 2,100 If of channel in exchange for our Impacts on the golf course property. Summary: The Irrigation Lake and Practice Range are the two elements of the design that are creating the permitting hurdle for the Project. Yet, these two elements in their proposed locations are absolutely critical to the quality of the golf course and the success of the Project. From the perspective of "hardship" as it relates to the Farlows and the use of their land for this project, it would seem that 7,850 If of channel (or blue-line stream) on a property of this size is unusual and should be given consideration in the permitting process. I have worked on 1,000 acre projects in the Piedmont that did not have half the length of the blue-line streams that this property possesses. Please call with any thoughts, comments or questions.
