Memorandum
To: Mark Ashness, PE, with McKim and Creek Engineers
CC:
From: Jean B. Manucle
Date: June 21, 1995
Subject: Action ID. 199503562, Jurisdictional Site Determination
and Nationwide Permit Eligibility for Construction of 3
Ponds in Governors Club Subdivision, south of Chapel Hill,
Chatham County, North Carolina.
On June 5, 1995, I met with Mr. Mark Ashness, PE with McKim and Creed
Eng'neers on the Property of Governors Club Development Corporation, located
on approadmately I;000 acres, west of SR 1008, approximately.3 miles southeast
of Chapel Hill. in Chatham County. North Carolina. The site is located
adjacent to, and above the headwaters of, several unnamed tributaries to Cub
Creek The purpose of the site inspection was to determine the presence of
wetlands subject to our regulatory authority pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Watcr Act and to determine whether any Department of the Army (DA)
permits will be required for the proposed construction of Dart Nos. 5,6, and 7
within Phase 16 of Governors Club Subdivision off Morehead Drive.
The site is located on the Farrington Quad. The site is located on Edwards
Mountain and can be characteAzed as mixed pine-hardwood forests, dissected by
small intermittent tributaries that drain into Cub Creek The area of the
proposed ponds was examined and it was determined that no wetlands are
located within the area of the proposed ponds. Instead our regulatory
jurisdiction is restricted to the creek channels themselves (bank to bank). See
attached wetland data form.
Dam 5 has a I foot wide channel, Dam 6 has a 2 foot wide channel, and Darn 7
has a 3 foot wide channel. Mr. Ashness utilized the channel widths along with
the limits of the fill associated with the dams and the area of steam channel
that would be flooded to calculate the amount of jurisdictional impacts. It was
determined that 0.1 acre of impacts to waters of the United States will be
impacted by the construction of the proposed ponds.
A DA individual permit was issued on January 30, 1989 which authorized the
construction of a road access over Cub Creek (0.6 acre of wetland impacts) and
2.3 acres of wetland impacts associated with the construction of four ponds,
fairways, sediment basins, and other roads which could not be authorized under
NWP No. 14. The impacts associated with the crossing at Cub Creek were
mitigated through the restoration of 1.24 acres of wetlands along Cub Creek.
Accordingly, the total impacts for NWP No. 26 are 2.4 acres. Mr. Ashncss was
advised to submit a Pre-Construction Notification application for the 0.1 acre of
impacts associated with Dams 5,6, and 7 since the wetland impacts associated
with the development of Governors Club are cumulative in nature with respect
to Nationwide Permit No. 26. The permit application was received on June 23,
1995 and subsequently sent out to the agencies for review.
The resource agencies (US Fish and Wildlife
Service and the State Historic Preservation Service, National Marine Fisheries
nervation Office) have 5 business days from
June 23, 1995 to contact me by telephone to inform me that they either wish to
comment or that their review may take more time and they need an extension.
After 5 days, the agencies have another 10 days to submit their comments to
this office for review. Provided that there arc no unforeseen concema of the
agencies, the Corps will issue the permit for the pond eostructions. If the Corps
issues At permit, a 401 Water Quality Certification must also be obtained from
the North Carolina Department of Environment.
Division of Environmental Management, Health and Natural Resotuccs,
permit will be valid. 't' Water Quality Section before the
