6135 Lakeview Dr., Ste. 250
Charlotte, NC 28269
Subject: Aberdeen Subdivision, Shopton Rd.
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Permit with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Perillo:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 0.04 acre
of jurisdictional 404 wetlands and 0.13 acre of isolated wetlands and impact 140 linear feet (If) of Stowe Branch
in order to construct the Aberdeen Subdivision in Mecklenburg County, as described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality on November 29, 2004 and in additional correspondence received
December 21, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that these impacts are covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 and the 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
1. The Mooresville Regional Office shall be notified in writing once construction of the project has begun.
2. 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 of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample
deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401Metlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.
3. 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. No Carolina

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 streambank 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 stream
bed, unless approved by the DWQ.
4. A final written stormwater management plan shall be approved in writing by this Office prior to the
construction of any permanent facilities at the subject site.
Stormwater discharge points shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential receiving streams or
wetlands at the site will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion of the stream
banks.
5. 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.
6. Erosion and sediment control practices (including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
site) must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and must 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:
a. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface
Mining Manual.
b. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
7. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable
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
upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of
Completion form.
9. Continuing Compliance. KB Homes 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
KB Homes 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 KB Homes 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 1508 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 Alan Johnson in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or

The purpose of this PCN is to request authorization for impacts to regulated streams and wetlands
for KB Home, for the proposed Aberdeen Subdivision. Impacts have been reduced to the maximum
extent practicable and still maintain an econimically viable project with consideration to local zoning
and development requirements. A stormwater management plan to provide minimum removal of 85%
TSS is to be approved by the City of Charlotte prior to final permit approvals by the local
government.
Feel free to call with any questions that you may have.

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.
Site layout designed to avoid impacts to wetlands to maximum extent practicable based on current
zoning, product requirements (type of housing to be built), and stormwater BMP requirements.
Alternative layouts within the constraints of local and state ordinances and policies do not result in
an economically viable proiecL Previous layout concepts which included an additional proposed
stream crossing of Stowe Branch and complete 5114 of wetlands located adjacent to Shopton Road
West have been abandoned for the current site plan.
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.
Page 4 of 7
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 httpJ/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.htmi.
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.
Approximately 4.75 acres of tree save areas and buffers adjacent to existing wetlands and
channels on site are to be preserved in common open space. Approximately 1.4 acres of
remainine waters and wetlands will be preserved in common open space. Minimum 35 foot
buffers are to be maintained adjacent to Stowe Branch. Stormwater Water BMI"s designed to
remove 85% TSS will treat both onsite and off-site stormwater runoff No additional
compensatory mitigation requirements are anticipated.
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 httpJ/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. 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 (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state)
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

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state
and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these
impacts in Section VII above, All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly
identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts
are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as

2 n/a 1.5 n/a
Total n/a n/a
Zone i extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of
Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment
into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within
15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0260.

XL 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.
Site will incorporate Stormwater BMP's desiffned to remove 85% TSS. Stormwater treatment
plans will meet State standards are to be approved by City of Charlotte. It is assumed that the
issued WOC from DWO will be conditional upon approval of the stormwater management elan by
the City of Charlotte.
XIL Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
