Dear Mr. Lawson:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands
Golf course driving range
Forsyth County
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 0.27 acres of wetlands for stream
relocation and realignment, we have determined that the proposed
fill can be covered by General Water Quality Certification No.
2176 issued November 4, 1987. A copy of the General
Certification is attached. This Certification may be used in
qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide
Permit No. 26.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney

No site inspection was made. The U.T. to Salem Creek is
a class C watershed. The plans are to re-route the tributary
through subsurface tiles.
The WSRO recommends that a 401 certificate be issued for
the subject project.

Dear Mr. Dorney,
l
Engineering Tectonics, P.A. is acting on behalf of Mr. Ralph Hoover of
Clemmons, NC in obtaining a Section 401, Water Quality Certification for the
proposed 20 acre site indicated in Figures 1 & 2. The subject property is located in
Forsyth County, just outside the city limits of Winston-Salem, NC, near the
intersection of Clemmonsville Road and Griffith Road. Salem Creek, which is a
tributary of Muddy Creek, runs adjacent to the eastern property line. Archie
Elledge Wastewater Treatment Plant is located on neighboring property to the
north of the project site and discharges to Salem Creek.
Mr. Hoover intends to construct a golf driving range with elevated tees and
greens, a clubhouse, a batting cage and parking lot on the site, as shown in Figure
3. The parking lot area, the elevated tees between the floodway boundary and the
western property line, and the elevated greens located to the south of the tees
will be raised 2 to 3 feet above the existing grade. The existing topography will
not be altered by grading except for the aforementioned areas. The site is
currently vacant and wooded. All trees are to be removed except for heavy
landscaping around the parking lot.
Private water and sewer services are to be used until city water and sewer are
available. The septic system drain field is located on adjoining property to the
west and is accessed by an easement.
The wetlands area, as determined by Mr. John Thomas of the Army Corps of
Engineers (see attached Nationwide Permit # 26), is indicated in Figure 2. It is
Mr. Hoover's intention to re-route the unnamed tributary specified in the
Nationwide Permit through subsurface tiles to Salem Creek as indicated in

Figure 3. A copy of Nationwide Permit #26 is attached. Note in Figures 2 & 3
that the subject property lies partially within the floodplain of Salem Creek.
Appropriate grading permits and erosion control plans are currently being
sought through the Forsyth County Planning Office.
Should you have any questions concerning the maps or the explanation of the
proposed project, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing
from you regarding the status of the Water Quality Certification in the near
future.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Lawson:
Reference the meeting of May 21, 1991, with Mr. John Thomas of my staff,
Mr. Peter H. Devries of Engineering Tectonics (consultant for site), and
Mr. Harvey Wade of Lanier Williams, Inc., Realtors (agent for site) at your
property located off Clemmonsville Road (S.R. 1120), adjacent to Salem Creek,
Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina. The purpose of this meeting
was to discuss plans for a golf driving range, and to inspect the site for
wetlands subject to Department of the Army permitting authority.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330, published in the Federal Register
on November 13, 1986, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was provided
for discharges of dredged or fill material into non-tidal rivers, streams, and
their lakes and impoundments, including adjacent wetlands, that are located
above the headwaters and other non-tidal waters of the United States,
including adjacent wetlands, that are not a part of a surface tributary system
to interstate waters or navigable waters of the United States.
The meeting revealed that the proposed site is located adjacent to and
above the headwaters of an unnamed tributary of Salem Creek. The review of
the proposed development plans indicates that construction of the golf driving
range will involve adverse modification to approximately 12,000 square feet
(0.27 acre) of wetlands on the aforementioned unnamed tributary of Salem
Creek. All other impacts are on high ground.
Your proposed work, involving adverse modification to less than an acre
(0.27 acre) of waters of the United States located above the headwaters of the
aforementioned tributary, is authorized by nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. Please be
aware that this. authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to
obtain any other required or local approval. You should contact Mr. John
Dorney, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, [phone],
to obtain the necessary Section 401, Water Quality Certification prior to
starting work.
-2-
This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit is modified,
reissued, or revoked. All nationwide permits are scheduled to be modified,
reissued, or revoked prior to January 13, 1992. It is incumbent upon you to
remain informed of changes to the nationwide permits. We will issue a public
notice announcing changes when they occur. Furthermore, if you commence, or
are under contract to commence, this activity before the date the nationwide
permit is modified or revoked, you will have 12 months from the date of the
modification or revocation to complete the activity under the present terms
and conditions-of this nationwide permit. .
Thank yuu for jour time and cooperation. -If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone (919)
846-0648.

CONDITIONS
a. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur in the
proximity of a public water supply.
b. The activity will not jeopardize a threatened or endangered species as
identified under the Endangered Species Act, or destroy or adversely modify
the critical habitat of such species.
c. The activity will not significantly disrupt the movement of those
species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody (unless the primary
purpose of the fill is to impound water).
d. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will consist of suitable
material free from toxic poilutatits.
e. Any structure or fill will be properly maintained.
f. If the activity may adversely affect historic properties which the
National Park Service has listed on, or determined eligible for listing on,
the National Register of Historic Places, or if significant historic
properties are encountered before or during work, the permittee will notify
the District Engineer.
g. An individual state water quality certification must be obtained or
waived. Conditions of certification will be considered to be special
conditions of the Federal nationwide permit.
-h. The following management practices will be followed to the maximum
extent:
(1) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States will be avoided or minimized through the use of other practical
alternatives.
(2) Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons will be
avoided.
(3) Discharges will not restrict or impede the movement of aquatic
species indigenous to the waters or the passage of normal or expected high
flows or cause the relocation of the waters (unless the primary purpose of the
fill is to impound water).
(4) If the discharge creates an impoundment of water, adverse impacts
on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the
restriction of its flow will be minimized.
(5) Discharge in wetland areas will be avoided.
(6) Heavy equipment working in wetlands will be placed on mats.
(7) Discharges into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl will be
avoided.
(8) All temporary fills will be removed in their entirety.
