Dear Mr. Burnell:
Subject: Proposed fill in Wetlands or Waters
Demolition landfill and parking lot
Guilford County
DEM Project *931059
We have reviewed your request for 401 Water Quality Certification to
place fill material in 0.62 acres of wetlands or waters which are tributary to
Richland Creek for demolition landfill and parking lot expansion located at
Old Jackson Lake Road in Guilford County as described in your submittal dated
21 December 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. An
additional condition is that written.approval for a stormwater management plan
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.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr . Dorne WETLANDROtdp
y : WATER X t U.1 1W A0 ..
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your letter dated 2/22/94
to Mr. Chuck Burnell of Larco Construction Company concerning their Old
Jackson Lake Road Asphalt Plant Expansion. You and I discussed this
project briefly in a meeting at your office. I met Mr. Ron Linville of
your staff to review the proposed project and based on the following
conditions, was under the assumption that the project as proposed could
utilize a General Water Quality Certification.
1. The wetland area to be impacted is beneath a powerline for the most
part and is routinely mowed.
2. This wetland is upstream of the existing plant and the watershed
upstream of the wetland for at least one half mile is sparsely
populated mostly with scattered single family homes. The stream
has at least a 100' wooded buffer on both sides until the-upper
part of the watershed where one metal shell commercial building is
being constructed with poor sediment and erosion control.
3. Currently there is no stormwater treatment for runoff from the
existing plant site which is adjacent to Richland Creek. If the
plant expands it will have to install stormwater ponds on the down
gradient parts of its property. In doing so their should be an
improvement in water quality of Richland Creek but these ponds will
occupy areas currently utilized for stockpiling, roadways and other
plant operations. Therefore there is a need not only to create
larger stockpile areas upgradient for the expansion but also to
replace existing areas that will be lost due to the creation of
stormwater ponds.
4. Because of setback buffers from property lines and the fact that
our client cannot excavate under the aerial sewerline or powerline,
filling this area is the only option available. Had the wetland in
question been down gradient from the existing facility it probably
Soil/Site Evaluation ¦ Mapping and Physical Analysis ¦ Wetlands Mapping and Mitigation ¦ Environmental Audits

could have been avoided.
5. Mr. Linville noted a concern that you may not be able to get N.C.
Solid Waste to permit the proposed demolition landfill for various
reasons. Our client,will go through the appropriate procedures for
permitting such a facility but I do not see how this is your
concern. Our client did not wish to go through the expense of
pursuing a landfill permit until they knew the wetlands issues had
been resolved. If such a permit cannot be obtained our client
would fill the area for the expansion any way but not with
demolition landfill material. We felt that utilizing this area for
anon-hazardous material (stumps, concrete, fill dirt, etc.)
landfill as well as a stockpile area would be an efficient use of
the land which could result in other areas not being used for
landfilling activities. In other words you could minimize impacts
by building the new stockpile areas with demolition landfill
material, instead of using twice the area to accomplish each goal
in two different locations.
6. Finally we agreed that once the stormwater pond was designed
adjacent to Richland Creek, we could vegetate the area between the
creek and the pond's outlet with black willow and juncus sp. from
the area to be impacted under the powerline. However, until
designed we cannot be sure of the area that could be
enhanced/created. Our client is willing to have this be a
condition.of his certification which we can work out the details of
when the ponds are designed. There is also the possibility of
vegetating shelves along the ponds edges to offset the impacts.
I hope this addresses your concerns adequately. Please call me to
discuss this further if necessary.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Burnell:
The Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality
Section has reviewed your plans for wetland fill for 0.62 acres
of water and wetlands at Old Lake Jackson Road near Richland
Creek in Guilford County for construction of a demolition
landfill and parking area. Based on this review, we have
identified significant uses which would be removed by this
project. These are water storage, streambank stabilization,
pollutant removal and aquatic life habitat. Furthermore,
insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that
your project must be built as planned. Therefore, we are moving
toward denial of your 401 Certification.
Please provide us with information supporting your position
that your project must be constructed in wetlands. Specifically
can you construct your landfill and/or parking area on nearby
upland? In addition, stormwater controls will be needed for this
entire site in order to allow wetland fill for site expansion.
Any documentation such as maps and narrative which you can supply
to address upland alternatives may be helpful in our review of
your 401 Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the
date of this letter.
If you have any questions, please call me at 919/733-1786.

From: Ron Linville
Subject: Larco Construction #931059
Guilford County
Date: 940118
After a site visit on 940114, there are several aspects
concerning this project that should be considered prior to the
issuance of a 401 permit. Generally these are:
1. Richland Creek is in need of additional water quality
protection due to obvious potential impacts from the asphalt
facility and steep creek banks. The intermittent tributary to
Richland Creek is gravel filled and devoid of vegetation on the
worksite.
2. Larco needs to submit a complete set of plans for the
proposed construction (expansion) and the stormwater retention
pond. This plan should indicate how the company will treat the
intermittent stream flowing through the site. It would be
preferred that this streamflow enter into the stormwater pond.
This would provide for a somewhat seasonal wet stormwater retention
pond.
3. Turbidity was observed upstream and in the wetlands.
This turbidity was completely removed by the existing upslope
hardwood wetlands. The loss of this wetland should not be
underestimated. This wetland loss should be offset by constructing
(mitigating) a wetland below the stormwater pond. As the site is
somewhat restrictive, it is doubtful that this could occur on a 1:1
basis; however, the stormwater pond should make up the difference
providing it is a wet retention pond with adequate freeboard.
4. A solid waste permit or review may be required for
this site prior to any use of the wetland area for demolition
landfill purposes. Clean fill may be preferred since the proposed
construction area is in a functioning wetland.
5. Land disturbing activities at this site should be
scrutinized closely as there is very little potential for sediment
settling or being removed prior to stormwater entering Richland
Creek.
