Dear Mr. Ortosky:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands
North Summit Square
Forsyth County
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 2.08 acres of wetlands for commercial
development, 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.
Deed restrictions shall be placed on wetlands in the floodplain
east of the shopping center to prevent future fill. The
stormwater pond should be designed to draw water from middepth
(siphon design).
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney
at 919/733-5083.

SUBJECT: 401 Certification
North Summit Square
Forsyth County
M E M 0 RAN DUM
A site inspection of the subject project was made on
June 10, 1991. A water quality pond is to be constructed on
the site. The dam should be a siphon type. The WSRO
believes that the 401 certificate should be issued only to
the area west of the U.T. to Mill Creek. In this way, the
impact on the wetlands is minimized. In addition, the site
plans do not call for construction in this area.
The WSRO recommends that a 401 certificate be issued
with the above conditions.

The purpose of this letter is to request a Section 401 Water Quality
Certification for the project to be knowN as North Summit Square.
The project is located north of Winston-Salem, N.C. near the inter-
section of University Parkway and Highway 52 as shown on the enclosed
plans.

The Corps approved detailed wetland delineation is shown on the
attached map. These delineations have been approved by Mr. John
Thomas of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Upon receiving our Water
Quality Certification, we will then proceed with obtaining the
necessary Corps permits.
Fill in a portion of the wetlands will be required to utilize the
property for a retail shopping area including parking, etc. (see
attached map). As you can see, available uplands have been utilized
as much as possible so that wetland fills have been minimized.
It will be necessary to fill 2.08 acres (see map) of jurisdictional
wetlands above headwaters for placement of the proposed facilities.
A majority of the wetlands to be filled (1.21 acres) are contained
within an old drained farm pond and are comprised of sediment
deposited there in the past, now overlying upland soil, but still
technically qualifying as jurisdictional wetland. This area within
the old pond site does not appear to be a high quality wetland and
may change over time, if left alone, to a non-wetland condition.
Please call if you have questions or require further information.
If you plan to visit the site, please call and we will be glad to
accompany you.
