APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions

Dear Mr, Ranson:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
impact 0.47 acre of wetland in order to construct the Ardrey Woods Subdivision in Mecklenburg
County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 3,
2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water
Quality General Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o,enr,state,nc,us/ncwetlands, The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Number 39 once it is issued to you by the U.S, Army Corps of Engineers. Please note that you
should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including
those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water
Supply Watershed regulations,

The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and
design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in
writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property
is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter; and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions.

In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following
conditions:

1. The Mooresville Regional Office shall be notified in writing once construction at the approved impact
areas has commenced.

2. Stormwater discharges from the subdivision shall be diffuse flow intolthrough the floodplain.

3. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These
mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance ot the 404

401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h20,enr,state,nc,us/ncwetlands,

4. All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located on the project site where impacts
are not allowed shall be clearly marked (example- orange fabric fencing) prior to any land disturbing
activities,

5. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)
in order to compensate for the impacts to the wetland. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402 and
15A NCAC 2B ,0242(7), this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements
under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the EEP receives and clears your
check (made payable to: DENR - Ecosystem Enhancement Program), the wetland impact shall not
occur. Ms. Carol Shaw should be contacted at [phone] if you have any questions
concerning the EEP. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment.
Foraccounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the fill of 0.47acre of wetland in the Catawba
River Basin, (Cataloging Unit 03050103) for which mitigation is required. Please be aware that the
EEP rules require rounding of wetland impacts to the nearest quarter acre (15A NCAC 2R .0503(b)),

6. No waste, spoils, solids, or fill of any kind shall be placed in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notification application. All
construction activities associated with this project shall meet, andlor exceed, those requirements
specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual and
shall be conducted so that no violations of state water. quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.

7. Sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two months of the date the
Division of Land Resources has released the project.

8. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. Please send
photographs of the upstream and downstream sides of each culvert site to document correct
installation, along with the Certificate of Completion form.

9. Continuing Compliance, The applicant (Crosland) shall conduct its activities in a manner so as not
to contravene any state water quality standard (including any requirements for compliance with
section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal
law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to
sustain a designated or achieved use) or that state or federal law is being violated, or that further
conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to
include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and requirements in
accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify the
applicant and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC
2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any
new or revised conditions shall be provided to the applicant in writing, shall be provided to the
United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued pursuant to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.

If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing, You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send
a written petition that conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of

Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C, 27699-6714, This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone Mr. Alan Johnson in the Mooresville Regional

VI. 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
fmandal 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 project has been planned to preserve a significant forested buffer and wetlands within the
Six Mile Creek floodplain. Impacts to wetlands are required to prepare development areas and
correct soil conditions. as well as for economic feasibility in relation to the cost of the land, The
existence of this wetland area proposed to be impacted mav be related to or significantly
influenced by the discharge from an excavated pond fed by a well adjacent to the proiect area.
Based on discussions with the USACE and the NCDENR. mitigation was considered to be an
option in lieu of preservation of this wetland area. The remaining wetlands are preserved in
restricted common open space.

Page 6 of9

Mitigation

DWQ - In accordance with l5A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h20.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/ strmgi de ,htm I.

1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

2, Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP web site at http://h2o.enr.state,nc.us/wro/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the

IX. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.

Based on an analysis by the project engineer (see attached) of the development area (excluding the
floodplain) the impervious area is proposed to be less than 30%, Stormwater will be discharged into the
large floodplain into plunge pools or similar devices in order to significantly reduce velocity and to
allow diffusion into the floodplain. Since Six Mile Creek has a substantial riparian berm, it is expected
that wetland areas may with the additional stormwater input.

x. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)

Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.

Subject: 30% Impervious Surface Calculations for Ardrey Woods Subdivision

Dear Mr. Rindner,

The following breakdown is for the maximum allowable impervious area for the Ardrey Woods
Subdivision in Charlotte, NC. Ardrey Woods is a resIdential single-family subdivision containing 196 lots on a
total of 59.51 acres. The following is a detailed breakdown of how the allowable impervious areas were
calculated:

Total Site Area 59.51 Acres
Less Community Encroachment (10,18) Acres
Flood Una
Net Site Area 49.33 Acres
Net Sauare FootaQe 2,148814 sa ft
30% Imoervious Allowable 644 644 sa ft
Less Developer Installed 208,503 sq ft Includes roads and
Imcervious Areas curb and Qutter
Remalnlna Impervious Area 436,141 soft
Total Lots 196
Impervious Area Allowed I Lot 2,225.2 sa ft

Note: The developer has not selected a specific homebuilder bullder or home style at this time. It is expected
that based on similar projects In the area In which 2,993 SF was allotted (Wynfield Forest) for 70' wide lots and 2.285 SF
was allotted for 50' and 60' lots (Brookmere), that the avemge available impervious area is a reasonable allowance per
lot At these other projects locations the actual bullt upon area was well short of the "allotment". The largest Ardrey
Woods lot Is 60' wide so it Is reasonable to conclude the homes will be smaller than those in Wynfield Forest and of
slmllar size to those in Brookmere.

Feel free to contact rne with any questions concerning the calculations above or if any further
infonnation is required for ~~(\~m~/1

Re: Ardrey Woods - Residential Development, Charlotte, Mecklenburg, NC
Crosland - Wetland Mitigation

Dear Carol:

On behalf of my client, Crosland, we are requesting acceptance to utilize the NCEEP to
meet mitigation requirements when the permits arc issued by the USACE and the
NCDWQ for wetland impacts due to the proposed development. Proposed wetland
impacts will require mitigation requirements for at least 0.50 acres of proposed wetland
impacts. The USACE may require a 2:1 ratio. The cataloging unit is 03050103 (Six
Mile Creek/Catawba Basin).

Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

Thank you for your consideration.

General Wetland Classification and Deseription

The site is adjacent to the floodplain of Six Mile Creek in the Catawba River. Headwater wetlands occur
primarily downstream of a small pond ofT the property. The site also contains intennittent and perennial
tributaries streams and adjacent wetlands. Pockets of wetlands occur within the large floodplain. The site is
within a Water Classification - C watershed. The current land-use is fonner or current agricultural land and
woodland. The riparian wetland areas can be classified as Palustrine Broad Leaved, Scrub Shrub and
Emergent (PFOIA, PFOIC, PSSIA, PEMIC). The site includes Iredell and Monacan soils. These soils are
map units which may have inclusions of hydric soils according to the Natural Resource Conservation
Service, Technical Guide- Section II-A-2, June 1991.

SUBJECT:

Review of an application Ardrcy Woods, Unnamcd Tributary Six Mile Crcck,
DWQOS0739, Mccklcnburg County

Thc applicant is rcqucsting 404 PCffilits from the US Army Corps of Enginecrs and a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information
provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project
area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clcan Water Act of 1977 (33
U,S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amcnded; 16 U.S.c.
661-667d).

The project is to develop woodland into a residential subdivision. Impacts are proposed to 0.47 acres of
wetlands, These impacts appcar to be associated with a road crossing and individual lot fill. Somc
wetlands are indicated to be preserved closer to Six Mile Crcek.

Based on our review of the project submittal, it appears that impacts for the roadway are not avoidable;
howcver, the lot fill does not appear to be nccessary or water dependcnt. Although we were not able to
visit the site and current site conditions are not known, we will not object to a 40 I water quality
certification or 404 pennit providing the following conditions arc implcmcntcd:

1. Wctland fill to make individual lots should not occur. Thcse areas can be integrated into
adjacent wetlands and maintained or restored to natural conditions for water quality and
habitat values \\hich will be diminished or destroyed through urbanization. TIlese arcas
should be preserved and protccted as common areas instead of being subdivided into
individual lots.
2, To the extcnt possiblc, unavoidable impacts should be mitigated on site by natural dcsign
(bioenginccring) stream relocation and/or with stoffil\\'ater managemcnt best managcment
practiccs that mimic cxisting hydrological conditions. Post development conditions should

roughly equal those conditions found on the site prior to development. Low Impact
Development (LID) techniques are encouraged and recommended for the site. Information
about LID site evaluation techniques and stonnwater measures and practices can be found at
\\\\\\ .10\\i 111 P:lctelcvc lopl11cn t .on~. Pollution controls and storm\vater management practices
for the site should adhere to all conditions specified in NCDWQ or USEPA stOfll1\\ater
permits,
3. Remaining jurisdietional waters should be permanently preserved with undisturbed forested
butTers of a width that meets the rccommendations (minimum of 50' for intermittent channels
and 100' for perennial channels) found in our Guidance Memorandum to Address
Cumulative Impacts to Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic
and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality (August 2002) which can be found at:

4. Whcre undisturbcd forestcd buffcrs, wetlands, and/or floodplains arc prescnt, permanent dccd
rcstrictions or conservation easements are reeommended. Where forested butTers are not
prescnt, they should be restored and preserved as undisturbed forested areas \\henever
practical. TIIese areas should be permanently protected just like stream buffers, Forested
areas and any preserved butTers should not be subdivided into smaller subdivisions or made
into portions of individual lots,

TIIank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 336-769-9453.
