Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Mills:
Reference is made to our recent telephone conversation and letter
dated September 18, 1987 from Charles Hollis, Chief Regulatory Branch,
Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, copy enclosed as Enclosure
No. 1, concerning our desire to place fill material in wetlands above
the headwaters of Paradise Creek in Mineral Springs Township, Richmond
County, North Carolina.
In accordance with your advice during our telephone conversation, 1
requested a measurement of the wetlands area to be actually covered
by the proposed earthen dam site as indicated by the enclosed topo-
graphical map, identified as Enclosure No. 2.
This measurement was determined to be approximately 0.3 acre of wet-
lands by Mr. Walter B. High and Mr. John Davis of the United States
Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service. A copy of Mr.
High's letter setting forth his findings is enclosed as Enclosure No. 3.
The purpose of constructing this earthen dam is to impound an approx-
imate six acre pond within the 28.6 acre property owned by Paradise
Lake Farms, a North Carolina General Partnership, of which 1 am a
partner together with Kenneth M. Hill and Joseph M. DeLamielleure.
The pond would be used for irrigation, recreation and as a residential
amenity. To the best of my knowledge, it would not affect any public
water supply or constitute any detriment to downstream property.

According to the Army Corps of Engineers Chief of the
Regulatory Branch in Wilmington, N. C., the area in question
above would only be the wetland area actually destroyed by
f i l l material from the dam itself.
I felt it necessary to have Mr. Davis along to actually
identify the outer boundaries of the wetland soils present
where the actual pond dam is to be constructed.
With your help, we measured the area in question and found
the distance across the wetland area to be 162 feet long.
This length, when put with a design height of the damn of 12
feet, a combined front and back slope ratio of 5.5 feet
horizontal to 1 foot verticle, and a planned top width of 12
feet, computes to be approximately 0.3 acre of wetlands that
will be covered destroyed by fill material.
In addition to this, I would estimate that an additional
area of 1.3 acres of wetlands will be permanently flooded by
the project.
If I can be of any further assistance to you on this or any
other matter, please do not hesitate to call.
