Dear Mr. Dorney,
On behalf of D. Ballard Homes, ESP Associates, P.A. has enclosed a copy of the information
packet sent to the USACE for Application to use NWP #39 within the proposed Twelve Oaks
Subdivision in Union County, North Carolina. The project has been carefully planned to avoid
nearly all wetlands, streams and open waters on the property. With the exception of one
unavoidable road crossing, all remaining jurisdictional waters will be preserved in Common
Open Space or, for the minimal areas located within lots, with deed restrictions.
Please find attached to this letter the following items:
1) A complete Pre-construction Notification (PCN) Application form;
2) Figure 1: Vicinity Map; Jurisdictional impacts w/ culvert profile;
3) Figure 2: Soils Map;
4) Figure 3: Topography Map
5) Project site plan with wetland limits and impacts
6) Detail of impact area with cross-section;
7) Copy of Corps Notification of Jurisdictional Determination
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of this proposed project; however notification is not
required, because avoidance and minimization of impacts associated with this project have
allowed impact quantities to remain below the notification threshold. The owner/applicant of
this property is D. Ballard Homes; however, ESP Associates, P.A. (ESP) is acting as the
authorized agent for the project.

Twelve Oaks Subdivision
Union County, NC
Project Description
D. Ballard Homes proposes to develop 24.13 acres of land in Union County, North Carolina. The
proposed development would be known as Twelve Oaks Subdivision and marketed as a low-density
24-lot single-family residential community. The site for the proposed Twelve Oaks community is
located on a single parcel at the corner of Chambwood Road and New Town Road. The area
surrounding the proposed community is zoned for single-family development and contains several
existing single-family residences, as well as new residential subdivisions. The property is bordered
on its northeastern side by Price Mill Creek. The specific goal of the Twelve Oaks community will
be to offer an upscale residential alternative for the Waxhaw, NC area, while retaining the existing
environmental and natural resources for the enjoyment of community residents. D. Ballard Homes
hopes to provide significant natural resource conservation, enhancement and preservation, while also
offering a reasonable, high-quality single-family community development in an environmentally
sensitive and well-planned manner.
Jurisdictional Impacts
The project as planned avoids impacts on natural resources to the maximum extent practicable.
Avoidance of impacts on jurisdictional areas was a central effort in the many considerations of
residential development design. The roads, utility corridors, and other developmental aspects of the
proposed project are all planned after the jurisdictional areas were thoroughly investigated. ESP
personnel identified approximately 750 linear feet of stream, 0.4 acre of open water (existing on-site
pond), and 0.16 acre of jurisdictional wetlands within the project boundaries. The applicant was
able to limit jurisdictional impacts to 0.01 acre of wetlands, and approximately 125 linear feet of
perennial stream (the proposed project avoids impacts to approximately 95% of jurisdictional waters
on the site). These impacts are necessary to provide access to the northern portion of the property
via construction of a subdivision cul-de-sac street with a 40-foot right-of-way. This is the only area
proposed for impact where the project purposes could not be accomplished with any practicable
alternatives.
Mitigation
These impact quantities are within NWP #39 thresholds of 0.5 acres of wetlands and 300 if of
perennial stream and also remain below the thresholds for NCDWQ written concurrence, which are
0.10 acres of wetlands and 150 if of intermittent or perennial stream. The 24.13-acre Twelve Oaks
Subdivision has been designed to avoid and minimize the impacts to waters of the U.S. on site
through a careful planning process. Of the approximately 0.6 acres of jurisdictional area spread out
across the project site, only 0.019 acres of impacts are proposed. Proposed compensation consists of
the avoidance of the remaining 0.58 acre of jurisdictional area, minimization of impacts to the
maximum extent possible, and preservation of riparian buffers along the remaining jurisdictional
waters, contained primarily within a contiguous block of approximately 5 acres of C.O.S.
encompassing the entire northeast corner of the property. This preservation area will provide
excellent wildlife habitat, and will compliment and enhance the high quality residential community
proposed for the site. The preservation area will also act as a natural filter for runoff associated with
the development, and will compensate for any minimal water quality impacts to downstream waters.
We welcome any opportunity to discuss the project further, in person or otherwise. Please feel
free to give us a call with any questions you may have regarding this Section 404 Permit

Page 6 of 13
Creek enters the site from the adjacent parcel to the northwest and flows southeast across the
property to Price Mill Creek which flows along the northeastern property boundary. An
existing sanitary sewer line corridor crosses both the on-site tributary and Price Mill Creek at
the eastern corner of the property. Near the center of the property, the tributary has been
impounded to create an approximately 0.4-acre pond with a forested wetland feature that
transitions between the stream and the pond The area surrounding the proposed Twelve
Oaks community is zoned for single-family development and contains several existing
single-family residences as well as a new residential subdivision to the north and another
south of New Town Road.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Proposed impacts on the 2413-acre site include 0.01 acres and 125 linear feet of
jurisdictional impact all of which is associated with placement of clean fill for construction
of a subdivision road necessary to access lots in the northern portion of the property. A
double 36"/single 48" cross-culvert will be constructed across the stream and wetland area
above the 0.4-acre pond Mechanized excavation and grading equipment will be necessary
for installation of the culvert. Cross-sections of the impact area are included with this
application
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
The development of a 24-lot low-density single-family residential project is proposed. The
specific goals of the development are to create a high quality residential real estate project
that enhances the market value of the property in an environmentally sensitive and well-
planned manner. The Twelve Oaks community will offer an upscale residential alternative,
while retaining the existing environmental and natural resources for the enjoyment of
community residents The proposed impacts are necessary to provide access to the northern
portion of the property, without which the desired low-impact design of the project would not
be economically feasible

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.
Several factors have contributed to the choice of location for this project: the availability of the
property for purchase at an economically feasible price and the unique asset of an existing nsite
pond, as well as sufficient developable upland areas to allow for the upscale development plan
using large one half- to one-acre lots. As impacts from preliminary plans were identified, the
project engineers and planners worked with the landowner to redesign the community layout to
minimize and avoid all possible impacts. The position of the road crossing was adjusted several
times as the more accurate wetland survey map was generated, to avoid impacts to the pond and
reduce stream impacts. Because the project design has already employed a very low-density
development plan that should result in approximately 37% of the developable area left in green
space, we do not believe that further avoidance is feasible. A nearly 5-acre portion of the site in
the northeast corner of the property has been preserved as Common Open Space. This area
includes the 0.4-acre pond and adjacent natural areas that will be used as a nature preserve with
walking trails for community residents. The concept of low-density single-family residential
was chosen over the more traditional high-density subdivision plan in an effort to reduce impacts
to natural resources. The jurisdictional area is spread across the project site almost directly
through the middle. The road crossing is necessary to allow access to lots in the northern portion
of the property. The proposed road crossing is designed to cross the wetlands and stream in a
perpendicular direction to minimize impact quantities. Fill material used in impact locations will
be unpolluted, and appropriate sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented.
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 January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
Page 10 of 13
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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.
Proposed compensation consists of the preservation of riparian buffers along the remaining
jurisdictional waters. Most of the remaining waters are within a large, contiguous block of
approximately 5 acres of natural area preserved in C.O.S., encompassing the entire northeast
corner of the property. The 200 linear foot onsite stream segment, upstream of the proposed
culvert crossing, is also within C.O.S. The average buffer width will be approximately 20 ft
from the limits of the wetlands or top of bank of the stream and pond. Most areas will be
considerably greater than 25 feet, but several locations will be less due to site constraints on
building lots (see site plan). This preservation area will provide wildlife habitat, and will
compliment and enhance the high qualitv residential community proposed for the site. The
preservation area will also act as a natural filter for runoff associated with the development,
and will compensate for any minimal water quality impacts to downstream waters.
2.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
