MEMORANDUM
TO: John R. Dorney, Division of Water Quality
Dept. of Environment and Natural Resource
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator A Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: March 15, 2004
SUBJECT: Review of 401 Certification Application, Randy's Lawn and Landscape,
Inc., Shoreline Stabilization, Lake Norman, Iredell County
The applicant is requesting 401 Water Quality Certification from the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by
the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the
project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean
Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Impacts are proposed along 125 feet of Lake Norman shoreline. The application
did not include a map indicating site location or a photograph showing existing shoreline
conditions. Generally, we do not support hard structure stabilization activities within
waters that diminish habitat and/or water quality buffer functions. Generally, the
following considerations should be evaluated prior to 401 Certification issuance,
especially if activities will occur within the lake edge or within Catawba River buffer
zones:
1. Bioengineering methodologies should be incorporated into the project to
the extent possible and practicable.
2. Minimum class I (class II preferred) riprap or rock should be used along
the shoreline and into the lake edge if practicable. The larger size rock
improves aquatic habitat. Fabric matting may be used beneath the stone to
reduce erosion and turbidity. Rock or stone should be placed just above

the high water mark and towards the lake 5-6 feet when possible to
provide continuous aquatic edge habitat. Allan block walls should be
located landward.
3. Any Large Woody Debris (LWD) should be maintained to the maximum
extent practicable to provide aquatic habitat. If relocated, the LWD must
be securely anchored so that it will remain where installed.
4. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is
disturbed and maintained until project completion. Temporary or
permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within
ten (10) days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion
control.
5. Natural undisturbed buffers should be restored whenever possible.
Disturbed banks and buffer zones should be revegetated with silky
dogwood (Corpus amonum), silky willow (Salix sericea), tag alder (Alnus
serrulala), black willow (Salix nigra), and sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis) or other native indigenous plants to provide long term bank
stability and shading. Note that silky dogwood, silky willow and black
willow can be planted as live stakes collected during the dormant growing
season. Cuttings should be randomly planted and done on 4 foot centers
from the waters edge to the top of the bank. Trees should be planted on
10-12 foot centers. Banks in these areas should also be seeded with an
approved wetland seed mix or temporary crop of wheat or rye.
6. Wide undisturbed shoreline buffers and natural vegetation should be
maintained to the extent practicable.
7. The applicant should contact local planning authorities to determine if a
local permit(s) is needed for the project and for any buffer infringements
or impacts.
8. Provision of bioengineering measures should be included in the project
that intercept and treat chemicals that may be found in landscaping
operations. Information on Low Impact Design measures can be found at
www.lowimpactdevelopment.org. Similar landscaping information can be
found at http://www audubonintl org/programs/acss/ olg f ham.
Buffer maintenance or restoration options should be considered for the water
quality and habitat values that they provide. Additional information can be provided by
this office upon request.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you
have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.
