APPROVAL OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
DWQ Project # 05-2094
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Mason:
On May 16, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received the revised storm water management
plan prepared by your engineer, Mr. David Braun, of E.M.H& T Inc. This Plan has been reviewed and
satisfies the storm water management conditions of the 401 Water Quality Certification issued on
December 5, 2005.
The structural storm water practices as approved by DWQ as well as drainage patterns must be
maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural storm water practices shall be made without
written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. Storm water easements shall be recorded for a
distance of at least 10 feet on each side of all storm water conveyances on all lots containing these
structures including future access for maintenance. The storm water easements shall allow for the ability
to maintain the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of
the structures from potential alternations by future property owners.
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. Samuel A. Aghimien at 919-733-3574.
Sincerely,
Cyndi B. Karoly

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Permit with Additional
Conditions
Dear Mr. Mason:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in
0.08 acre of isolated wetland and impact 272 linear feet (If) of an unnamed tributary to Clarke Creek
in order to construct the Villas at Ridge Road Subdivision Mecklenburg County, as described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality on November 29, 2004 and in additional
correspondence received November 21, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined
that this project is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 and State General
Permit for Impacts to Isolated Wetlands and Isolated Waters (IWGP100000). 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 permits expire 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
The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the
streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained
above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow
for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing
pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes
are installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.

The applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this office to address any
head cutting that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the
culvert).
Use of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where
practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening methods. If riprap is necessary, it shall not
be place in the streambed, unless approved by the DWQ.
2. Storm water discharge points shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential receiving
streams (of the discharge) at the site will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations,
scouring or erosion of the stream banks.
3. A final written storm water management plan shall be approved in writing by this Office prior to the
construction of any permanent facilities at the subject site. The storm water facilities must be
designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the
Division of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the
facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the storm water
management plan (as approved by this Office) shall be implemented. The structural storm water
practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in
perpetuity. No changes to the structural storm water practices shall be made without written
authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
4. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond
the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notification application. All
construction activities shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
5. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in
full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and
maintenance of such BMP in order to protect surface water standards.
6. 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.
7. Continuing Compliance. The Applicant (Mr. Jeff Mason, Carolina Style Properties) shall conduct
its activities in a manner consistent with state water quality standards (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 21-1.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in
accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0504. 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 1506 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 Office at 704-663-1699 or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721.

Item 2: The basin length to width ratio is greater the 3:1
The recommended basin length to width ratio of 3:1 is not able to be achieved on this site
due to site constraints which include: an existing stream, existing roads, the required
extension of existing streets, and the required planning for future street extensions. All
other basin water quality BMP design criteria have been met with the design of the
stormwater ponds in the development.
Item 6: An emergency drain is provided to drain the pond.
An emergency pond drain is not able to be provided in the ponds within this project. The
existing topography and design of the site required the ponds to be excavated below the
existing grade on the property which does not allow a gravity pipe to drain the ponds.
With the ponds being small in size, draining them can be accomplished very quickly with
the use of a portable pump.

WET DETENTION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
The wet detention basin system is defined as the wet detention basin, pretreatment including forebays and the
vegetated filter if one is provided.
Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows:
After every significant runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly:
a. Inspect the wet detention basin system for sediment accumulation, erosion, trash accumulation,
vegetated cover, and general condition.
b. Check and clear the orifice of any obstructions such that drawdown of the temporary pool occurs within
2 to 5 days as designed.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re-seed as necessary to maintain good vegetative cover, mow
vegetative cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (i.e. catch basins, piping, swales, riprap, etc.) quarterly to
maintain proper functioning.
4. Remove accumulated sediment from the wet detention basin system semi-annually or when depth is
reduced to 75% of the original design depth (see diagram below). Removed sediment shall be disposed
of in an appropriate manner ,and shall be handled in a manner that will not adversely impact water quality
(i.e. stockpiling near a wet detention basin or stream, etc.).
The measuring device used to determine the sediment elevation shall be such that it will give an accurate
depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments.
,When the permanent pool depth reads 4.9 feet in the main pond, the sediment shall be removed.
When the permanent pool depth reads 2.9 feet in the forebay [and micro-pool], the sediment shall be
removed.

5. Remove cattails and other indigenous wetland plants when they cover 50% of the basin surface. These
plants shall be encouraged to grow along the vegetated shelf and forebay berm.
6. If the basin must be drained for an emergency or to perform maintenance, the flushing of sediment
through the emergency drain shall be minimized to the maximum extent practical.
7. All components of the wet detention basin system shall be maintained in good working order.

8. Level spreaders or other structures that provide diffuse flow shall be maintained every six months. All
accumulated sediment and debris shall be removed from the structure, and a level elevation shall be
maintained across the entire flow spreading structure. Any down gradient erosion must be repaired and/or
replanted as necessary.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the seven
maintenance procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any
changes to the system or responsible party.

Jurisdictional Delineation
On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the
field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.3 This delineation was surveyed (using a sub-
meter GPS unit) and field-verified by Mr. Tim Smith of the USACE Asheville Regulatory Field
Office. Mr. Smith signed the Wetland Boundary Survey and a copy of this survey has been
enclosed as Figure 1. There are two non jurisdictional, isolated wetland areas located within the
property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Non-
Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non jurisdictional upland areas have
been enclosed (DP1- DP4). Jurisdictional, waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream
Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Streams A, B, and
Channel C have been enclosed (SCP1 - SCP3).
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels
(Streams A and B) located within the project area. Stream A is an unnamed tributary to Clarke
Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke Creek and Little Stoney
Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are classified as "Class C" by the
NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy Smith of the USACE Asheville
Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002.
Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with
Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated
to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and
moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on
the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A.
Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence
with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and
was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial
deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph
of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B.
Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel
is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow,
channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel. C appears to have developed as a result of storm
water runoff from an adjacent development.

Wetland AA is located in the northeast portion of the project area and is approximately 0.104
acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum,
willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar
(Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and
isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. The area consists of multiple elongated
depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation
on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (IOYR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and
saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form
representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPI). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed
as Photograph C.
Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in
size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green
ash, red elm (Ubnus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland
area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water
connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 5/8), saturation
within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns. A Routine On-Site
Determination Form representing Wetland BB is enclosed (DP3). A photograph of Isolated
Wetland BB is enclosed as Photograph D.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not
yet been received.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this
submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential
subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is
experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased
dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public
facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide
access and additional space for condominium construction.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream
waters.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Non-Jurisdictional Wetlands AA and BB total approximately
0.104 and 0.07 acre, respectively. These proposed impacts are a result of fill activities. An Isolated
Wetlands Permit Application is being submitted to the NCDWQ for these impacts. Unavoidable
impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet (0.02 acre).
Proposed impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf
of Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification
Application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13,
and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3402 (enclosed).
Compensatory Mitigation
Construction of this project has avoided any impacts to perennial streams, therefore no
mitigation is currently being proposed.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at 704-527-1177 should you have any questions or comments
regarding these findings.

List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap,
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.usgs.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mapquest.com, etc.).

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
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)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to
downstream waters.
VIII. Mitigation
Construction of this project has avoided any impacts to perennial streams. therefore no
mitigation is currently being proposed.
1. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrpiindex.htm. If

Jurisdictional Delineation
On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the
field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual .3 There are two non jurisdictional, isolated
wetland areas located within the property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data
Forms representative of Non-Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non-
jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DP 1- DP4). Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were
classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDW& and USACE
guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation
Forms for Streams A, B, and Channel C have been enclosed (SCPI - SCP3).
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels
(Streams A and B) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). Streatn A is an unnamed
tributary to Clarke Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke
Creek and Little Stoney Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are
classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy
Smith of the USACE Asheville Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002.
Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with
Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated
to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and
moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on
the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A.
Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence
with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and
was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial
deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph
of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B.
Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel
is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow,
channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel C appears to have developed as a result of storm
water runoff from an adjacent development.
Wetland AA is located in the northeast portion of the project area and is approximately 0.104
acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum,
willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar
(Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and

isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. The area consists of multiple elongated
depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation
on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (10YR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and
saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form
representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPl). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed
as Photograph C.
Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in
size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green
ash, red elm (Ulmus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland
area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water
connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 5/8), saturation
within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns. A Routine On-Site
Determination Form representing Wetland BB is enclosed (DP3). A photograph of Isolated
Wetland BB is enclosed as Photograph D.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not
yet been received.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this
submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential
subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is
experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased
dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public
facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide
access and additional space for condominium construction.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream
waters.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet
(0.02 acre). These impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement. A Pre-Construction
Notification Application pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification
November 17, 2005
Ms. Cyndi Karoly
Page 4 of 4
No. 3402 are being submitted to the USACE and the NCDWQ for these stream impacts.
Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Wetlands AA and BB total approximately 0.104 and 0.07 acre,
respectively. These impacts are a result of fill activities (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf of
Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting an Isolated Wetlands Permit application with
attachments in accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:02H.1300 (enclosed).
Compensatory Mitigation
Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non jurisdictional isolated wetlands, no
formal mitigation is being proposed.
Storm Water Management
The total impervious area for the development exceeds 30%. Therefore, a Storm Water
Management (SWMP) is being developed to treat storm water coming from the site. A detention
basin is being planned in the western portion of the site (Figure 2). This plan is being designed
by EMH&T and will meet the NCDWQ 85% total suspended solids removal goal.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at 704-527-1177 should you have any questions or comments
regarding these findings.

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.usgs.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to
downstream waters.
VIII. Mitigation
Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non jurisdictional waters no formal
mitigation is being proposed.
Mitigation may also be made by payment. into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http:h'h2o.enr.state.ne.us%wip/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:

Jurisdictional Delineation
On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the
field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manua13 This delineation was surveyed (using a sub-
meter GPS unit) and field-verified by Mr. Tim Smith of the USACE Asheville Regulatory Field
Office. Mr. Smith signed the Wetland Boundary Survey and a copy of this survey has been
enclosed as Figure 1. There are two non jurisdictional, isolated wetland areas located within the
property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of Non-
Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non jurisdictional upland areas have
been enclosed (DP 1- DP4). Jurisdictional. waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream
Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Streams A, B, and
Channel C have been enclosed (SCP1- SCP3).
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels
(Streams A and B) located within the project area. Stream A is an unnamed tributary to Clarke
Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke Creek and Little Stoney
Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are classified as "Class C" by the
NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy Smith of the USACE Asheville
Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002.
Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with
Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated
to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and
moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on
the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A.
Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence
with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and
was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial
deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph
of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B.
Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel
is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow,
channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel. C appears to have developed as a result of storm
water runoff from an adjacent development.

Wetland AA is located in the northeast portion of the project area and is approximately 0.104
acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum,
willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar
(Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and
isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. The area consists of multiple elongated
depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation
on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (10YR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and
saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form
representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPI). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed
as Photograph C.
Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in
size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green
ash, red elm (Ubnus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland
area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water
connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 5/8), saturation
within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns. A Routine On-Site
Determination Form representing Wetland BB is enclosed (DP3). A photograph of Isolated
Wetland BB is enclosed as Photograph D.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not
yet been received.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this
submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential
subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is
experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased
dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public
facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide
access and additional space for condominium construction.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream
waters.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Non-Jurisdictional Wetlands AA and BB total approximately
0.104 and 0.07 acre, respectively. These proposed impacts are a result of fill activities. An Isolated
Wetlands Permit Application is being submitted to the NCDWQ for these impacts. Unavoidable
impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet (0.02 acre).
Proposed impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf
of Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification
Application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13,
and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3402 (enclosed).
Compensatory Mitigation
Construction of this project has avoided any impacts to perennial streams, therefore no
mitigation is currently being proposed.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to
downstream waters.
VIII. Mitigation
Construction of this project has avoided any impacts to perennial streams, therefore no
mitigation is currently beint; proposed.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrpiindex.htm. If

Jurisdictional Delineation
On May 20, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS, and Isaac Hinson delineated (flagged in the
field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual 3 There are two non jurisdictional, isolated
wetland areas located within the property boundary (Wetlands AA and BB). Routine On-Site Data
Forms representative of Non-Jurisdictional, Isolated Wetlands AA and BB and adjacent non-
jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DPI - DP4). Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were
classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE
guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation
Forms for Streams A, B, and Channel C have been enclosed (SCP1- SCP3).
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that are two jurisdictional stream channels
(Streams A and B) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is an unnamed
tributary to Clarke Creek and Stream B is an unnamed tributary to Little Stoney Creek. Clarke
Creek and Little Stoney Creek are within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5 and are
classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. Jurisdictional areas were field-verified by Mr. Timothy
Smith of the USACE Asheville Field Office during an on-site meeting on August 19, 2002.
Stream A flows across the northeast portion of the project area until its off-site confluence with
Clarke Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is approximately 318 linear feet and was evaluated
to be Unimportant Intermittent. This reach exhibited a continuous bed and bank, braiding, and
moderate sinuosity. Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 13.5 out of 71 possible points on
the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). A photograph of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A has been enclosed as Photograph A.
Stream B flows south along the western edge of the project boundary until its off-site confluence
with Little Stoney Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B is approximately 572 linear feet and
was evaluated to be Perennial. This channel exhibited flow, a moderate presence of alluvial
deposits, and channel substrate consisting of coarse sand. Perennial Stream B scored 27 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2, enclosed). A photograph
of Perennial Stream B has been enclosed as Photograph B.
Channel C was determined to be a non jurisdictional ditch through an upland area. This channel
is approximately 200 linear feet and is adjacent to Stream A. Channel C failed to exhibit flow,
channel substrate, or sinuosity. This scored a 9.5 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form (SCP3). Channel C appears to have developed as a result of storm
water runoff from an adjacent development.
Wetland AA is located in the northeast portion of the project area and is approximately 0.104
acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes sweetgum,
willow oak, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), and catbriar
(Smilax rotundifolia). This forested wetland area was determined to be non jurisdictional and

isolated to due a lack of surface water connections. The area consists of multiple elongated
depressions (ditches), which contained standing water at the time of the initial field investigation
on March 18, 2002. This area exhibited low chroma soils (IOYR 6/1), mottles (7.5YR 6/8), and
saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form
representing Wetland AA is enclosed (DPI). A photograph of Isolated Wetland AA is enclosed
as Photograph C.
Wetland BB is located in the central portion of the project area and is approximately 0.07 acre in
size (Figure 1, enclosed). Dominant vegetation within this area includes soft stem rush, green
ash, red elm (Ubnus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and various sedges (Carex spp.). This forested wetland
area was determined to be non jurisdictional and isolated to due a lack of surface water
connections. This area exhibited low chroma soils (5Y 5/2), mottles (IOYR 518), saturation
within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, and drainage patterns. A Routine On-Site
Determination Form representing Wetland BB is enclosed (DP3). A photograph of Isolated
Wetland BB is enclosed as Photograph D.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on October 25, 2005 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not
yet been received.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
October 25, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this
submittal, a response from the NCNHP has not yet been received.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 17 acres of property into a residential
subdivision. This project will provide multi-family housing to an area of Charlotte that is
experiencing significant population growth. The demand for housing in this area has increased
dramatically due to its proximity to Charlotte, good public schools, and access to public
facilities. Impacts to Stream A and Isolated Wetlands AA and BB are necessary to provide
access and additional space for condominium construction.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream
waters.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A will total approximately 272 linear feet
(0.02 acre). These impacts are a result of 272 linear feet of pipe placement. A Pre-Construction
Notification Application pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification

No. 3402 are being submitted to the USACE and the NCDWQ for these stream impacts.
Unavoidable impacts to Isolated Wetlands AA and BB total approximately 0.104 and 0.07 acre,
respectively. These impacts are a result of fill activities (Figure 2, enclosed). On behalf of
Carolina Style Properties, LLC, CWS is submitting an Isolated Wetlands Permit application with
attachments in accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:02H.1300 (enclosed).
Compensatory Mitigation
Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non jurisdictional isolated wetlands, no
formal mitigation is being proposed.
Storm Water Management
The total impervious area for the development exceeds 30%. Therefore, a Storm Water
Management (SWMP) is being developed to treat storm water coming from the site. A detention
basin is being planned in the western portion of the site (Figure 2). This plan is being designed
by EMH&T and will meet the NCDWQ 85% total suspended solids removal goal.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at 704-527-1177 should you have any questions or comments
regarding these findings.

VIL Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The construction of this subdivision will completely avoid Perennial Stream B
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to
downstream waters.
V111. Mitigation
Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non-iurisdictional waters no formal
mitigation is being proposed.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrpiindex.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
