22.5 - Acre Kensington Drive Site December 16, 2004
Isolated Wetlands Permit Application Project No. 2004-0774
I Executive Summary
The 22.5-Acre Kensington Drive Site is located in Waxbaw, North Carolina, approximately 1/4
mile west of the Kensington Drive - Waxhaw-Marvin Road intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project proposes to develop approximately 22.5 acres of
open fields and wooded areas into an elementary school. Davis-Martin-Powell and Associates
has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for
this project (Attachment B).
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there is one isolated,
non jurisdictional wetland area (Wetland AA) located within the project limits. On-Site
jurisdictional areas were field-verified by NIs. Amanda Jones of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) on October 27, 2004. On behalf of Davis-Martin-Powell and Associates, CWS is
submitting an Isolated Wetlands Permit application with attachments in accordance with North
Carolina Administrative Code T15A: 02H.1300 (Attachment Q.

Existing Conditions
The 22.5-Acre Kensington Drive Site is located in Waxhaw, North Carolina, approximately 1/4 mile
west of the Kensington Drive - Waxliaw-Marvin Road intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project proposes to develop approximately 22.5 acres of
open fields and wooded areas into an elementary school. Davis-Martin-Powell and Associates has
contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide wetland permitting services for this
project (Attachment B). The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Current Land Use
The current land use for the site is undeveloped wooded areas with maintained fields. The site has
been cleared and graded and the on-site pond has been drained.
According to the Soil Survey of Union County' (Attachment A - Figure 2), on-site soils consist of
Tatum gravelly silty clay loam (TbB2 and TbC2) and Secrest-Cid complex (ScA). Tatum gravelly
silty clay loam soils are well drained and exhibit moderate permeability and medium water
capacity. Secrest-Cid complex soils typically exhibit slow permeability, moderate water capacity,
and a low to moderate shrink-swell potential.
Jurisdictional Delineation
On August 27, 2004, CWS's Andrea Hughes, and Patti Kelly delineated on-site jurisdictional
waters of the U.S z within the project area. Jurisdictional areas were delineated on-site using the
U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Detennination Method. This method is
defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.3 Routine On-Site Data
Forms representative of the non jurisdictional, isolated wetland area (Wetland AA) and adjacent
upland areas have been included as Attachment D.
The results of the on-site field investigations conducted by CWS indicate that there is one
isolated, non jurisdictional wetland area (Wetland AA) located within the project limits
(Attachment A - Figure 3). Wetland AA is located in the northwest corner of the site and is
approximately 0.3 I acres. It is the remnants of an on-site pond which had been drained and 0.22

interstate waters and their tributaries, all Nvetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.

acre of the pond has been tilled. This area exhibited features typical of a wetland: inundated

Upland areas have been recently graded therefore there was no observable vegetation.

On October 27, 2004, Ms. Amanda Jones of the USACE field-verified the results of the
wetland area lacks a surface water connection and therefore is isolated and non jurisdictional.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on November 30, 2004,
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, no response has been
eccived from SHPO.
Proteeted Speeie3
A letter was fo?war led to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on November
30, 2004, ?o determine the pn::;cnce of any federally-listed species or critical habitat located
within the project area. In a letter dated December 13. 2004, the NCNHP stated that there is "a
record of the Federally Endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schtiveinit. ii) less than '/4
mile to the east of the proposed site." The known population of Schweinitz's sunflower was
found in 1997 alongside Waxhaw Marvin Road, from the intersection of Kensington Drive south
to the bridge over Twelve Mile Creek. The NCNHP correspondence letter and Elcment
Occurrence Report have been included as Attachment E.
Recent on-site construction activities, including the clearing of vegetation and surface regrading,
have removed any potential habitat for on-site populations of Schweinitz's sunflower. These
construction activities followed the approval of Nationwide Permits 14 and 39 by the USACE
(Action Id. 200431042) and North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ Project Id. 04-0883). Section 404/401 permits have been included as Attachment F.

22.3 - Acre Kensington Drive Site December 16, 2004
Isolated "Wetlands Permit Application Project X o 2CO4-0774
Purpose and Need for the Project
This project proposes to develop approximately 22.5 acres of woods and open fields into an
elementary school. The purpose of this project is to provide an elementary school to an area that
is experiencing significant population growth. The proposed site plan includes an elementary
school building, parking lots, and playing fields (Attachment G - Figure 4).
Avoidance and Minimization
There are no on-site jurisdictional waters that will be impacted by this development. Impacts to
non jurisdictional Wetland AA are necessary to accommodate both parking lots and the main
drive entrance to the school (Attachment G - Figure 5). This site is ideally located for a school
development and provides for the growing needs of this area.
Proposed Impacts to On-Site Features
Unavoidable impacts to on-site features will total approximately, 0.31 acre -f non- urisdictional
isolated wetlands (Attachment G - Figure 5). This project proposes to completely fill the 0.31 acre
wetland to accommodate construction of the project. On-Site grading operations have led to the
discovery of a large amount of rock. This rock makes it difficult to reach the grades necessary for
the construction of the school without filling this isolated wetland area. Oil behalf of Davis-
Martin-Powell and Associates, CWS is submitting an Isolated Wetlands Permit application with
attachments in accordance with North Carolina Administrative Code T15A: 02H.1300
(Attachment C).
Compensatory Mitigation
Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non -jurisdictional waters, no formal
mitigation is being proposed.

I VII. . Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
There are no on-site iurisdictional waters that will be impacted by this develonment. Imnacts
® to non-jurisdictional Wetland AA are necessary to accommodate both narking lots and main
drive entrance to the school (Attachment E - Figure 5). This site is ideally located for a
school development and provides good visibility to Kensington Road.
VIII. Mitigation
Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts to non-jurisdictional waters, no formal
mitigation is being proposed.

Dear Mr. Jenlcins:
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
The Natural heritage Program has a record of the Federally Endangered Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus sclm einitzii) less than 1/4-mile to the cast of proposed site. A population was
discovered in 1997 atongside SR 1301, from the intersection of SR 130 downhill (south) nearly
to the brid(-_e over Twelve Mile Creels (see enclosed). Because of the close proximity of the
project to a Federally listed species, consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may be
required. Please contact Carolyn Wells, at the Asheville Field Office (828-258-3939), regarding
this matter.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<<vww.nes»arlcs.net/nhpisearcii.html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant
natural conununities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-71-5697 if you have questions or need fiirther information.

On 17 September 1997, Marc Recktenwald and I were driving between two roadside
populations of Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) in Union County when we found a
new population of that species. This population is along SR 1301 just north of the bridge over
Twelve Mile Creek. The population extends along the east side of SR 1301 from the bridge north
to a point opposite the intersection of SR 1305. 1 told Jim Matthews about this population and he
visited the site on October ', 1997. He counted 56 stems along the roadside and did not locate
any more stems away from :he road.
I have attached a „are Plant Field Survey Form for this record along with a site map.
This survey was not a part of a TIP project and this population doesn't appear to be under any
threats other than mc,,ving at this time. I have already asked the division roadside environmental
engineer to stake th:; area •vith.Do Not Mow signs. Please let me know if you have any questions
about this site.

RE: Union Co. sunflower populations on Waxhaw-Marvin Rd. (SR 1301)
As you know, the potential of the plants along the east side of the road just north of
Twelve Mile Creek (9065) is in jeopardy. Note the enclosed map. A new development,
Quellin, is being graded now. The northern end is well under way and the developer
wants to move the plants (opposite Kensington Dr.) as he moves toward the creek. ?n
April I checked and could find only 7 dried stems from last year. On July 16 I did a
cursory check and could find no plants. On July 19 three of us did a close check (looking
under the thickly overgrown woody growth) and found 5 clumps, 3 single stemmed and 2
multiple stemmed. These were marked with yellow tape. The restriction on mowing has
allowed the roadside woody growth to cover the site. Although there are a few open
spots, there are no plants in these openings. These plants have been proposed as the
beginning of the Cane Creek Park Preserve for Union Co.
While there on the 1901, we noted a new group of plants along the west side of the road,
0.6 mi. south of the junction with Gray Byrum Road. We counted 125+ stems (map), and
then across the road =5+ stems adjacent to the Quellin development. Both of these
appear to be new. The 125+ stems occur along the roadside between the ditch and the
disturbed secondary growth woods border, between mail box 4100 and the fire hydrant.
No obvious development pressure appears at present. However, the 25+ directly across
the road could be impacted by Quellin any day.
I would propose moving the few remaining plants opposite Kensington and the 25+ as
part of those for the Preserve. This needs to be done this fall. The developer is
cooperative.
While there, we checked the plants just north, diking Road (#021), and found them to be
in good shape with no obvious pressure.
