I am in receipt of a copy of your letter dated 17 February 2001, which was actually received by my client's managing agent on 28 February 2001. Please accept this letter as a response to your letter and request for a meeting. I have reason to believe that through inadvertence of the Association, a mistake has been made rendering it impossible for the Association to comply with the terms of your letter. It would be productive to have a meeting involving a representative of the Board of Directors of the Association, myself and the two of you in order to discuss a course of action to be taken at this point. I look forward to hearing from you about a time and place for such a meeting. I look forward to hearing from you directly. _ Sincerely yours, JORDAN PRICIMALL Y JONES ILL CARLTON Hen Ames, Jr. cc: Mary Norbech Larry Stolze berg VV C. ,, tA MAR 1 4 2001 State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality James B.

C/o HRW Management Corp. 1183 West Chattam Steet Cary, NC 27513 Dear Sirs: The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans to dredge sediment from 1.5 acres of Lake Loch Lomond located at Lochmere subdivision in Wake County for deepening a portion of the lake as described in your application dated October 23, 2001 (revised January 30, 2001). Insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to move toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers place your project on administrative hold. Please provide us with information supporting your position that states your project must be constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters and/or wetlands. Specifically can you remove the spoil from the lake system rather than redepositing it within the lake? We are concerned about the turbidity violations during this redeposition. Also discuss plan to 1) stabilize the division ditch to prevent sediment from entering the lake and 2) abandon the ditch once work is done. Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can supply to address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401 Certification. Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to me and to Steve Mitchell of the Raleigh Regional Office at (919) 571-4700. If we do not hear from you in three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. I can be reached at 919-733-9646 if you have any questions. cc: Raleigh DWQ Regional Office Raleigh Field Office Corps of Engineers Central Files File Copy o incerely, hn . m y Wetlands/401 Unit • 1621 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, North Carolina 27669-1621 Telephone 919-733-1786 • FAX 4 733-9959 An Equal Opportuniq Affirmative Action Emplo.Ner 50% recycled/10% post consumer paper MEMORANDUM TO: John Dorney Non-Discharge Branch Regional Contact: Steve Mitchell WQ Supervisor: Ken Schuster Date: SUBJECT: WETLAND STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Facility Name Lochmere Homeowners Association c/o Larry Project Number 01 0117 Recvd From APP Received Date 2/1/01 Recvd By Region Project Type Certificates Permit Wetland Wetland Wetland Stream Type Type Impact Score Index County Wake County2 Region Raleigh Stream Class Acres Feet Prim.

' iUUI Enclosed is the application Lochmere Homeowners Association for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to authorize the proposed excavation of 7,500 cubic yards of accumulated sediments from approximately 1.5 acres of the upper end of Lake Loch Lomond and discharge of the. excavated material into approximately 1.5 acres of a deeper portion of the lake, in the Long Branch watershed, associated with Loch Lomond improvement project, in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived. In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an extension of time, by December 16, 2000, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

Pender, Piedmont Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: 20 November 2000 SUBJECT: Public Notice for Excavation and Construction activities of Lake Loch Lomond, Wake County, North Carolina, Action ID No. 200021943 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject document. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-i31 et seq.). The applicant proposes to excavate 7,500 cubic yards of accumulated sediment from approximately 1.5 acres of the upper end of Lake Loch Lomond and discharge the excavated material into approximately 1.5 acres of a deeper portion (middle) of the lake as part of the Loch Lomond improvement project. This project will impact Long Branch, a WS-III NSW tributary to Swift Creek, which ultimately drains into the Neuse River. We have the following comments on this project. We request that the draining process take place during the cool weather seasons to reduce impacts to aquatic species. Sediment will likely become stirred up and suspended during the lake filling process. We request that discharge from the dam be managed to minimize downstream sedimentation. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this Public Notice.

R4ti1?iaINQh Action ID No. 200021943 - Lake Loch Lomond Improvement Proj. Dear Mr. Tugwell: As you are aware from all our discussions the concerns expressed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission were already of primary importance to us as we developed our project. As we already addressed these issues we have no problem in trying to implement them. The regulatory submission did not go into all the specifics of the project. The following outlines the goals we already established to safeguard the aquatic life and discharge flow: o If this project could not be undertake during periods of cooler weather we were already going to install "aerators" to safeguard the aquatic life. The area to be desilted would require the migration of the aquatic life from a field which now has a depth of inches to less than 3 feet to one that will contain a minimum depth of 6 to 9 feet or more. o The pond will be drawn down very slowly over a period of a month or more. The drying process will take place over a month or more before work actually begins. Once completed we feel the time to allow nature to refill the lake could take up to a year. During all phases we will control the flow of discharge via managing the dam in order to minimize down stream sedimentation. Thank you for giving us a chance to assure you again, as well as, the NC Wildlife Resources Commission of our intent to undertake this project in the most environm tal safe and prudent manner.

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed excavation of 3 feet of accumulated sediments by bulldozer from approximately 1.5 acres of lake bottom, and the repositioning of the sediments into 1.5 acres of a deeper portion of the lake bottom to provide for deeper water conditions at the upper end the lake. The sediments will be moved by bulldozer from the upper portion of the lake, where existing water depths range from 0 to 6 feet, to the middle if the lake, where existing depths range from 6 to 9 feet. The 7,500 cubic yards of sediments will be repositioned after water levels have been lowered to allow dry access to the work areas. Prior to excavation, a diversion ditch will be dug to transport water entering the lake from Long Branch along the eastern shoreline to a point below the sediment deposition area. A permanent sediment trap measuring 10 feet across and 10 feet deep will be excavated immediately downstream of the discharge of Long Branch into the lake to allow heavier sediments to be trapped before entering the lake to prevent future sediment accretion. The purpose of the work is to provide for deeper water at the upper end of the lake. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.

Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act 1 3 (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit modification will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Wetlands/401 Unit, 1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699- 1621, on or before November 15, 2000, Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Todd Tugwell, until 4:15 p.m., November 22, 2000, or telephone (919) 876-8441, extension 26.
