Dear Sirs:

Subject: Proposed fill in Wetlands or Waters
Commercial development, Boyles Furniture Company
Guilford County
DEM Project #93854,COE #199400037
We have reviewed your request for 401 Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 1.5 acres of wetlands or waters which are
tributary to Deep River for commercial development located at US 29/70
and Riverdale Road in Guilford County as described in your submittal
dated 28 October 1994. Based on this review, we have determined that
the proposed fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
No. 2671. A copy of the General Certification is attached. This
Certification is necessary for coverage under Corps of Engineers'
Nationwide Permit No. 26. This action completes DEM's review under
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. A final written approval for a
stormwater plan including a wet detention pond must be obtained from
DEM.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right
to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in
the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. Unless such
demands are made, this Certification shall be final and binding.

Dear Mr. Ik)rney,

Enclosed are copies of the proposed boyle -, F'ui n i t ure site layout for_" Your
review and conment. As you can se.e, the proposed building and parking require
full us(? of the site and ,.is a re:?u l t it is intended t(; re.,ui ld the lower pond
dam for use as, a pennanent :;tomwater runoff control facility. The proposed.
public road to !,he rest of the development has been rel.c.)cated to the s()uthern
boundary of the property in order to keep from chopping the retail store tract
in half. Since the wetlands to be protected were previ(,)usly a pond site :il
makes sense to utilize it again. It_ is our intent to get the general
development plan and strFet location approved by the City of High Point and tc?
proceed with final constructic,n plans. Please review the proposed layout and
adise us aq to the proposed method of water quality protection. Thank you for
your assistance with this reques;t and if you have any questions please call me
at 910-379-05,15.

Re: Application to Remove Wetlands- 401 Certification
Boyles Furniture Co.
Guilford County
DEM # 93854
Dear Mr. Dorney:
In review of the above, your letter of October 18 noted the need to have
additional information regarding the site: 1) A site plan; and 2) A
stormwater plan addressing wet detention ponds.
Enclosed is a preliminary site plan addressing both issues for your files.
It indicates in a preliminary fashion the intended location for the building,
related parking and drives, etc. You will readily appreciate that such
development cannot take place without the reworking of the existing
topography and the removal of the existing pond.
The indicated location for the wet detention pond is predicated on the
regrading of the minor wetland - an old pond site with breached dam-
into the pond to mitigate runoff from the building development.
I hope that this material is sufficient for your current review purposes for
the 401 Certification. As the site is located very near a ridgeline and has
only the man-made pond removal as an issue, we do not feel that there
should be any other concern to be addressed. We intend to seek full
permits for all construction when the project reaches the final design
phase, and will submit pond design calculations, details, etc. through the
proper authorities prior to construction.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If I can be of further
assistance, please let me know.
Sincerely,
c

Dear Sirs:
Reference is made to the meeting of August 19, 1993, between Mr. John
Thomas of the Raleigh Regulatory Field Office staff and Mr. Michael Tye of Tye
Architecture at your property located at the south east quad of the
intersection of I-85 Business and Riverdale Road, adjacent unnamed tributary
to Deep River, High Point, Guilford County, North Carolina. The purpose of
the site visit was to inspect the site for wetlands subject to Department of
the Army permitting authority.
The site visit revealed an existing pond (approximately 0.55 acre) and a
drained pond downstream of the existing pond on the aforementioned tributary.
Field test showed that the basin of the drained pond has grown wetland
vegetation and meets criteria of soils and hydrology to be classified as a
wetland. A quick field estimate showed this wetland area to be about 0.88
acre in size. Downstream of this drained pond, bank to bank of the unnamed
tributary is jurisdictional all the way to the Deep River.
Reference is also made to the permit application (PDN) for fill within
the identified regulated waters and wetlands associated with a proposed
building development. This application was received from Mr. Michael R. Tye
of Tye Architecture (consultant f r pr-e- ) on October 4, 1993. The proposed
project would impact approximatel 1.50 a7(res on the aforementioned unnamed/
above headwater tributary of Deep 'ver.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. The discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. The permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
L
-2-
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Your proposed work, involving adverse modification to 1.50 acres of
waters of the United States located above the headwaters of the aforementioned
tributary, is authorized by NWP 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.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity
complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during
the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is
modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and
conditions of the NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under
construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will
remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the
date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary
authority has been exercised on a case-by-case base to modify, suspend or
revoke the authorization.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone (919)
876-8441.
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

On 4 October 1993, DEM received an application for certification
for fill of 1.5 acres of ponds and wetlands for commercial
development.
We need additional information before we can process this
application. Please provide 1.) a site plan showing why waters and
wetlands must be impacted and 2.) a stormwater plan with wet detention
ponds for the property. Until we receive this information, I will
place this project on hold. For your information, DEM has 130 days to
act on a completed 401 application; average time for a Nationwide
Permit is about one month.
I can be reached at 733-1786 if you have any questions.

Dear Sirs:
Enclosed are seven (7) copies of a completed application form for the
removal of wetlands on the referenced property, per your regulations.
I understand that this will be acted on in a minimum of 30 days.
As this wetlands removal consists of of removing old man-made farm
ponds on property adjacent to a major highway, we would anticipate your

fro you in the review period specified.
Thank you for your help with this.
