RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Wesley A. Sykes
621 Eugene Court, Suite 100
Greensboro, NC 27401
Dear Mr. Sykes:
On September 13, 2005, the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ), received information from Mr.
Chris Huysman of Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants, Inc. concerning your applications for
General 401 Water Quality Certifications to impact 0.278 acre of wetlands in the Lees Chapel Road
residential development (DWQ# 05-1342) and 94 linear feet of perennial stream and 0.468 acre of wetlands
in the Southern Webbing Mill residential development (DWQ# 05-1631). The Lees Chapel Road
residential development is located between Lees Chapel Road and Byers Road, and the Southern Webbing
Mill residential development is located on Southern Webbing Mill Road, in Greensboro, Guilford County.
According to the information we have received, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers will require that these
two projects be merged into one project for the purpose of permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act. Furthermore, the combined projects' proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters will require
authorization by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers through issuance of an individual permit. Therefore,
the Division of Water Quality cannot issue General Water Quality Certifications for these impacts.
Approval of these impacts by DWQ under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will require issuance of an
individual certification.
In order that we may determine the scope and nature of the proposed impacts associated with the combined
projects and the combined projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, please provide five (5) copies
of the following information:
1. A plan view of the entire combined projects' site showing the delineation of all jurisdictional and
isolated streams, wetlands, and impoundments located on the site.
2. An amended application fully listing and describing all proposed impacts to jurisdictional and/or
isolated streams, wetlands, and impoundments that will occur as a result of the combined projects.
Until the information requested in this letter is provided, I will request (by copy of this letter) that the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers place these applications on hold. Also, these applications will be placed on hold

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.
Impacts to streams and wetlands are minimal and necessary to access high round.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
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://112o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm,,lde.fitm1.
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,

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.
Impacts to streams and wetlands are minimal and necessary to access high r ound.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm7ide.html.
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 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 website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.litm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the

M. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site. plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

VL Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
Minimal wetland areas will be filled and graded for road crossings needed to access hightround.
Two culverts will be installed in the stream to likewise provide access to higharound.

dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.us"'s.aov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.toporone.com,
www.map(Iuest.com, etc.).

Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
Impacts to streams and wetlands are minimal and necessary to access higharound.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm,,ide.litm1.
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 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 website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wM/index.litm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federaUstate) funds or the use of public
(federaUstate) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.

Reference is made to your August 30. 200-5 letter in \which you present your opinion that the Lees Chapel
Road Development and the Southern Webbing Nlill Development are in fact a single and complete
residential subdivision. You will be receiving under separate cover a letter from Sykes & Sykes of
Greensboro. LLC.
Based on our kno\ylcdgc of the applicable regulations we believe that your letter does not account for a
determination that each of these projects has independent utility. Our determination for independent
utility is based on the following; 1) each parcel was delineated independently on different timelines which
reflects different purchase dates and intents. 2) each parcel has independent access to state roads. 3) each
has access to existing sewer. 4) the parcels are not adjoined by a property line but rather are on opposing
sides of existing state maintained roads. Once we found the projects to have independent utility we
presented the projects such that they could be reviewed as separate single and complete residential
subdivisions: barring discretionarv actions by vour office. None of the above information was included in
the submittal because of our firm belief that the projects have independent utility.
The statement "Your consultant has a great deal of experience... and should be aware that these two
projects should have been submitted as a single and complete project..." does not reflect our experience
and knowledge of Corps regulations that mandate the use of the following definition to determine a
project's boundaries:
' b1dependent Utility: A test to determine what constitutes a single and complete project in tine
Corps regulatory program. A project is considered to have independent utility if it would be
constructed absent the construction of other projects in the project area. Portions of a multi-phase
project that depend upon other phases of the project do not have independent utility. Phases of a
project that would be constructed even if the other phases were not built can be considered as a
separate single and complete project with independent utility."
We maintain that since each project (phase) could be constructed even if the other project (pleases) were
not built they can be viewed as separate projects. You will receive a letter from Sykes and Sykes of
Greensboro. LLC. the developer, which confirms the facts that we used to determine that the projects can
be viewed as single and complete projects. We most certainly will consider any other information that
you might have that would indicate otherwise.

For your information, while the project was under review by the NC Division of Water Qualitv we were
asked to minimize our impacts in the vicinity of lots 73 and 74 on the Lees Chapel Road Development.
We had expected a request for minimization of impacts as is mandated by the governing regulations and
were evaluating alternatives when you called last week. This minimization could possibly bring the
impacts to below the 0.5 acre threshold for Individual Permits.
We believe that the intimated accusations made in vour letter arc not well founded and reflect haste to
review and respond to the applications. It seems to us that your contemplated actions ignore allowances
in the regulations that facilitate the Nationwide Permit process where independent utility can be
demonstrated. Continuing this course without further discussion related to avoidance and minimization
on both sites seems pre-mature. I look forward to meeting with you on September 12. 2005 when we can
discuss these projects.

Reference is made to the Preconstruction Notification (PCN) application received in our
office on July 15, 2005, submitted on your behalf by Mr. Chris Huysman with Wetland and
Natural Resource Consultants, Inc., for Department of the Army (DA) nationwide permit
authorization for impacts to 0.278 acre of wetland associated with the proposed construction of
the Lees Chapel Road Development. Reference is also made to the PCN application received in
our office on August 25, 2005, submitted by Mr. Huysman, which requests nationwide permit
authorization for impacts to 0.468 acre of wetland and 94 linear feet of stream channel associated
with the proposed construction of Southern Webbing Mill Development. The two subdivisions
are situated on adjoining parcels of land south of Lees Chapel Road and west of Southern
Webbing Mill Road, adjacent Jorden Branch in the Cape Fear River Basin, in Guilford County,
North Carolina.
Based upon a review of the proposed plans, it appears that the two sites are in fact being
developed as single and complete residential subdivision. Furthermore, coordination with the
City of Greensboro Planning Department indicates that the two projects were approved by the
city as a single project known as Chapel Ridge Subdivision. A preliminary plan for the
subdivision obtained from the City of Greensboro is enclosed for your reference.
Your consultant has a great deal of experience with the Corps of Engineers regulatory
program and should be aware that these two projects should have been submitted as a single and
complete project, and we hope that these applications were not submitted separately in an attempt
to avoid the individual permit process. You should be aware that knowingly submitting false
information in a permit application is considered a fraudulent activity, and by copy of this letter
we have notified the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Command.
Based upon information submitted in both permit applications, our calculations indicate
that the total proposed impact to waters of the U.S. associated with the development of Chapel
Ridge Subdivision include 0.746 acre of wetlands and 94 linear feet of stream channel.
Nationwide Permit Number 39, which became effective on March 18, 2002, states that "the
discharge does not cause the loss of greater than %2-acre of non-tidal waters of the U.S."
Accordingly, the development activities proposed in your permit applications will require
individual DA permit authorization (application enclosed).
In preparing your individual permit application, please note that the DA and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on
February 6, 1990 that established procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation
necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA
provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least
damaging, practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize
impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable
impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To enable us to process your application in full
compliance with this MOA, we request that you provide the following additional information:
a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the
proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish
information regarding any other alternatives, including both upland and off site alternatives, to
the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least
damaging to water or wetland areas. Specifically, we need information regarding alternative site
locations and designs that would result in reduced impacts to streams and wetlands, including
alternative road crossing locations.
b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical steps to minimize
wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and
modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts. Such
information would include an evaluation of roadway alignments that would reduce impacts by
providing a more perpendicular crossing of the streams and wetlands on the site, and installation
of retaining walls to reduce the reach of fill slopes.
c. Finally, the MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be required for
all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practical minimization has
been employed, however no mitigation was proposed in either PCN application. Please indicate
your plan to mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide
information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical measures.
Alternatively, should you choose to revise your plans and reduce the total proposed
impacts to wetlands to less than %i acre, you may resubmit your application to request nationwide
permit authorization. Please note that as in paragraphs a, band c above, the project must be
designed to avoid and minimize adverse effects to waters of the United State, and a mitigation
plan must accompany the PCN application.

Please be reminded that issuance of DA authorization must precede any placement of
excavated or fill material within any waters of the U.S. on your property. Should you have any
questions regarding your application for DA permit authorization, please call Mr. Todd Tugwell
