Dear Mr. Lund:
The purpose of this correspondence is to request that a Nationwide Permit 39 be issued
for the above referenced project. The impacts requested in this permit application are
necessary for the development of the entire site. The proposed impacts are 0.121 acres
of wetlands from fill for grading for n road and 149 linear feet of stream for a road
crossing. According to the engineer of the site, "the current alignment of the road
provides the best location in terms of grade and road layout as well as overall disturbance
to the existing landscape." This is because "the City of Concord has explicit curve radius
requirements and prohibitions to reverse curves," and "the grade on the Southwest side of
the stream/wetlands is too steep to meet Concord's road grade requirements without
causing extensive grading in an area we hope to preserve as open space."
Local stormwater controls will be implemented which will meet or exceed DWQ's 85% TSS
removal requirements. As per Water Quality General Certification 3402, "Approval of
stormwater management plans by the Division of Water Quality's other existing state
stormwater programs including appropriate local programs are sufficient to satisfy this
Condition as long as the stormwater management plans meet or exceed the design
requirements specified in this condition." These stormwater controls are proposed to be
rain gardens, vegetated swells, stormwater ponds, or a combination of the three.
The additional stream reaches and wetlands on site will be left undisturbed. We are
requesting that this preservation suffice for mitigation, since the current design of the
road is necessary to comply with the City of Concord's curve radius requirements and to
result in the least damage to the surrounding landscape. The stream preservation ratio is

wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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. Stream impacts are
unavoidable in order to access the entire property, since the stream runs from the western
property line to the eastern property line. Impacts to wetlands are necessary for the current
location of the road. The city of Concord has explicit curve radius requirements and prohibitions
to reverse curves. The grade on the S W side of the stream/wetlands is too steep to meet
Concord's road grade requirements without causing extensive grading in an open area that we
hope to preserve as open space. Therefore, this road location has been determined to be the best
in terms of grade and road layout as well as overall disturbance to the existing.landscape.
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
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
Page 5 of 8

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.
The maiority of the wetland impacts occur to wetlands that are located within the existing
sewer line easement on the site. These wetlands have been influenced or reduced by the
sewer line and are therefore not natural to the area. In addition, they are of low quality with
the majority of the ve#~etation being herbaceous. The remainder of the wetlands on site will
be left undisturbed. In addition, the remainder of stream reaches on the site (over 1000
linear feet) will be left undisturbed which is a 7.5:1 ratio of undisturbed to disturbed channel.
Stormwater controls will also serve as mitigation for impacts.
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
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five 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 ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ^ No ^
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 appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify N/A)? Yes ^ No
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.

* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
XI.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. N/A
Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
Page 7 of 8

the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level. Local stormwater controls will be implemented
which will meet or exceed DWQ's 85% TSS removal requirements. As per Water Ouality
General Certification 3402, "Approval of stormwater management plans by the Division of
Water Quality's other existing state stormwater programs including appropriate local programs
are sufficient to satisfy this Condition as long as the stormwater mana ement plans meet or
exceed the design requirements specified in this condition." These stormwater controls are
proposed to be rain gardens, vegetated swells, stormwater ponds, or a combination of the three.
XIL_ Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project; or available capacity of the subject facility.
The existing sanitary sewer will be utilized.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ^ No
Is this an after-the-tact permit application? Yes ^ No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: No, the
parcel is entirely surrrounded by land that is already subdivided. In addition, a sewer line
already exists on the property, so no additional utilities will be provided for the surrounding area.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
