Re: Birkdale #14 Modification CLESAion-ID, 199505518, _DEM #95794
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of Mr. Ron Flehan of the Harris Group, I am submitting the following information for your review
and approval. Due to the requirements to obtain a FEMA Floodway Fill Permit and a Letter of Map
Revision a change in the plans is required to the primary road crossing. This change will also necessitate the
removal of a portion of a recently constructed road. The new road design is intended to reduce the impacts
to the floodway and therefore will reduce the amount of fill, reduce the cost of the bridge, and reduce
impacts to wetlands from the original plans. The original plans for the permitted impact (site #16) for this
road crossing was 0.31 acres. The proposed impact with the new roadway design is 0.20 acres.
The following will also be incorporated into the design and construction of the road crossing. As discussed
on site with Steve Lund, the flow from a small stream that was diverted during golf course construction to
feed an irrigation pond will be redirected back to the wetland area. The hydrology of this wetland will also
be enhanced through the use of the storm drainage system from the roadway. The temporary drainage ditch
along the existing Devonshire Road (adjacent to portion to be removed) will be eliminated with the new
road construction. As discussed the drainage will be redirected immediately back to the wetland area to
maintain the hydrology. This wetland area is currently protected from adjacent development by barricades
and silt fencing.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
GGe.??

Re: Compliance Inspection Birkdale Golf Course and Subdivision
Dear Mr. Flehan:
On September 1; 1995 you were issued General Water Quality Certification Nos.
2664, 2732, 2733, and 2671 authorizing 2.21 acres of wetland impacts for the purpose of
developing the Birkdale golf course community located off Sam Furr Road and I-77 near
Huntersville. This certification carried the additional conditions that runoff from the golf
course shall not flow directly into nearby streams; fill at site number 16 shall be further
minimized; and deed restrictions shall be placed on any lots with jurisdictional wetlands to
prevent future wedand fill. Also any changes in your project that would impact wetlands
requires notification to this office and may involve additional authorization.
As part of an ongoing compliance monitoring and enforcement program for 401
Water Quality Certifications, Todd St. John from the Division's Mooresville Regional
Office and myself made a compliance inspection of the Birkdale golf course on January 31,
1997. From our inspection it appears that your project is in compliance with the conditions
of the certification. At a future date we would like to make another site visit to Birkdale
with you r consultant to take a closer look at the mitigation measures and biofilters.
Your cooperation in complying with the conditions of your 401 Water Quality
Certification is appreciated. Should you have any questions concerning this matter please
feel free to contact me at [phone] or Todd St. John at [phone].

Re: Compliance Inspection Birkdale Golf Course and Subdivision
Dear Mr. Flehan:
On September 1; 1995 you were issued General Water Quality Certification Nos.
2664, 2732, 2733, and 2671 authorizing 2.21 acres of wetland impacts for the purpose of
developing the Birkdale golf course community located off Sam Fun Road and I-77 near
Huntersville. This certification carried the additional conditions that runoff from the golf
course shall not flow directly into nearby streams; fill at site number 16 shall be further
minimized; and deed restrictions shall be placed on any lots with jurisdictional wetlands to
prevent future wetland fill. Also any changes in your project that would impact wetlands
requires notification to this office and may involve additional authorization.
As part of an ongoing compliance monitoring and enforcement program for 401
Water Quality Certifications, Todd St. John from the Division's Mooresville Regional
Office and myself made a compliance inspection of the Birkdale golf course on January 31,
1997. From our inspection it appears that your project is in compliance with the conditions
of the certification. At a future date we would like to make another site visit to Birkdale
with you r consultant to take a closer look at the mitigation measures and biofilters.
Your cooperation in complying with the conditions of your 401 Water Quality
Certification is appreciated. Should you have any questions concerning this matter please
feel free to contact me at [phone] or Todd St. John at [phone].

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Ron Flehan

Charlotte, N.C. 28209
FY. E COPY
Dear Mr. Flehan:
You have our approval to place fill material in 2.21 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
developing a golf course community at Birkdale development, as you described in your application dated 27 July
1995. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Numbers 2664, 2732, 2733 and 2671. These certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit
Numbers 12, 14, 18 and 26 when they are issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. For this approval to be
valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. Additional written approval is required
from DEM for the stormwater and mitigation plan. Any lots with jurisdictional wetlands shall have deed .
restrictions to prevent future wetland fill. Runoff from the golf course shall be directly so as not to flow directly
into nearby streams and tributaries. Fill of site number 16 (Wetland Permitting and Mitigation Plan) shall be
further minimized or conclusively demonstrated to DEM that such minimization is not feasible. In addition, you
should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing.
You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding
unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Mana ent rider Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney t 919-7 -1786.

I if. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The project area is located in Mecklenburg County, north of the City of Charlotte
and west of Huntersville in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. It is generally
considered in the Lake Norman vicinity. Charlotte is the major urban center for
' surrounding areas in both North and South Carolina and the entire area north of
Charlotte is experiencing considerable growth and development particularly in the
Lake Norman vicinity. The project area is near Interstate 77 and adjacent to Sam
' Furr Road (SR 2145), which is currently being widened from NC 73 to US 21
(State Project 6.804755 - T.I.P. No. R-2624). The current project area is primarily
rural in character with mostly former agricultural and undeveloped land. A large
' portion of the acreage is in open fields, utility rights of way, pine woods, or fields
undergoing various stages of succession.
' The "Birkdale" project of ± 645 Acres will be a Mixed Use Development consisting
of office space and commercial space, single family and multi- family dwelling
units, an 18 Hole Championship Golf Course, and other related land uses. As
' shown on the Nationwide Permit (NWP) #26, NWP #14, NWP #18, and NWP
#12 applications, the Harris Group seeks approval to disturb and impact
approximately 2.21 Acres of Jurisdictional Waters. The following sections present
the result of the environmental planning and regulatory reviews of the project site
and a description of the impacts and proposed minimization and mitigation
measures.

I THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES

0

Ill. THREATENED AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status
are protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and
Wildlife Service has identified two endangered species - Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthis schweinitzii), and the Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata).
Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of successional fields,
margins, and forested openings. The Carolina heelsplitter is a freshwater mussel
which prefers shaded areas either in a ponded portion of a small stream or in
runs along steep banks with moderate current. Primary habitat is waters less than
three feet deep with a soft mud, muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate. It is
normally restricted to protected silted areas or under banks especially associated
with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. Its current distribution according
to the US Fish and Wildlife Service is limited to portions of two streams --- Goose
creek and Waxhaw Creek -- and a small river originating out of rural areas in
Union County. Therefore it is not expected to occur on this site.
' Five candidate plant species, Common Nestronia (Nestronia umbellula), Heller's
Trefoil (lotus helleri), Georgia Aster (Aster georgianus), Tall Larkspur (Delphinium
exaltatum), and Virginia Quillwort (Isoetes virginica) are known to occur in
' Mecklenburg County.
Because the site contained potential habitat of the Schweinitz's Sunflower a field
survey was conducted in conjunction with the planning efforts of this project. The
study was conducted by James Matthews, of the Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program in the first week of July, 1995. According to his report (See
Appendix A), no Federal, State, or Local plant species of concern were identified
or expected to occur on the site.

State Protected Species
The Carolina Darter (Etheostoma collis) is a fish that inhabits small streams such
as those found in the project area. This species has a federal status of Proposed
Special Concern and a State status of Special Concern. The species prefers
small clear streams of less than 15' width with moderate to swift current and a
sand/gravel benthic composition. It apparently tolerates a wide range of water
quality conditions and vegetation types adjacent to the streams and appears
resistant to pollution. (E. Menhinick). Although several intermittent and permanent
tributaries will be crossed by the proposed alignment, it seems likely that the
darter if present would continue to inhabit these streams after development. The
greatest potential impact would be from construction related sedimentation and
turbidity. The use of BMP's and proper sizing of culverts should result in
negligible impacts to downstream water quality.

According to the Environmental Assessment for Sam Furr Road (SR 2145)
Widening and Interchange at 1-77, Mecklenburg County from NC 73 to US 21,
' "records maintained by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program, NCDEHNR
indicate no State listed threatened or endangered species in the immediate
vicinity of the project. However, the Santee Chub (Hybopsis zanema), a State
listed species of concern, has been reported in downstream segments of
McDowell Creek. Increases in siltation could result in adverse impacts on this
species". Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation
' control plan will be implemented during the construction period in order to
alleviate further degradation of water quality.

CULTURAL RESOURCES

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and the Survey and Restoration Branch
' (SRB) of the NC Department of Cultural Resources - State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) was visited on April 28, 1995 to review existing mapping on the
' USGS Quad maps, if any. The purpose of this review was to determine if there
was of previously identified sites in the project area. A copy of the Environmental
Assessment (EA) for Sam Furr Road (SR 2145 - State Project 6.804755 : T.I.P.
' No. R-2624) Widening and Interchange at 1-77 was also reviewed.
Based on the review of the maps at the OSA and at the SRB, no previously
identified or surveyed sites are currently indicated on the maps within the project
area. Several areas around the project area and in the vicinity have been
surveyed and although several sites were indicated, none were determined
eligible for the listing in the National Register. There is the possibility that the
findings would be similar on this site. According to the EA for Sam Furr Road, the
SHPO indicated that they had conducted a review of that project and were aware
' of no properties of Architectural, Historical, or Archaeological significance which
would be affected by that project.
' Required formal contact was made with the State Historic Preservation Office
requesting concurrence with these findings. Their response will be forwarded to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers immediately upon receipt.

AQUATIC HABITAT
C??

V. AQUATIC HABITAT

0

The aquatic systems in the project area consist of an intermittent tributaries and
McDowell Creek surrounding areas, and wetlands. A variety of wildlife is
supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish,
insects, mollusks, and crustaceans.
Fish Species
Fish species that are most likely to occur in the project area includes (but not
limited to) blue head chub, red breast sunfish, blue gill, mosquito fish, and
rosyside dace. The Carolina darter, a species of Special Concern, is not expected
to inhabit McDowell creek. However, the Santee Chub (Hybopsis zanema), a
State listed species of concern, has been reported in downstream segments of
McDowell Creek. Increases in siltation could result in adverse impacts on this
species". Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation
control plan will be implemented during the construction period in order to
alleviate further degradation of water quality.
Crustaceans and Shellfish
Cambarus and Procambrus crayfish are expected to inhabit areas near
intermittent tributaries. Indigenous and Asiatic clams, and snails are likely to
inhabit the pond area and are not expected to substantially inhabit intermittent
tributaries.
The diversity of fish, crustaceans, and shellfish, will be limited on this site due to
the intermittent nature of the small tributaries.
Amphibians and Reptiles
Amphibians and reptiles that are likely (but not limited to) to occur near streams
include marbled and mud salamanders, spring peepers, bullfrog, mud turtle,
skink, black snake, and copperhead. Existing habitat is expected to remain in
natural areas close to the banks and in undisturbed wetland areas.
Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic
habitat, however this will be minimized to the extent practicable to promote rapid
recovery. Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation
and Erosion control Plan. Best Management Practices will include utilizing
siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate.
Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such
as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near surface
waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions,
measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into
contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.

VI. JURISDICTIONAL WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
' The ecological, aesthetic and recreational values of Waters of the United States,
including wetlands, are protected by Federal and State regulations. They are
considered sensitive habitats for fish and wildlife and also provide flood protection
' and pollution control.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires regulation of discharges and
' authorizes the US Army Corps of Engineers to regulate the disposal of dredged
or fill material into "Waters of the United States", which includes wetlands. The
North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural resources,
' Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality Section also reviews
permitting effects based on Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
Wetlands are defined as:
'hose areas that are inundated or saturated by groundwater at a frequency and duration to support, and that under normal
' circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adopted to life in saturated soil conditions. wetlands generally
include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas". (33 CFR 328.3(b), 1986)
An area is determined to be a wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil, Hydrophytic
' Vegetation, and Wetland Hydrology characteristics. These characteristics are
required to be in accordance with the definitions in the US Army Corps Wetland
Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas which exhibit these three characteristics is
' identified as a wetland and permits are required for development activities within
these areas.
' The Clean Water Act also protects surface waters through Section 404 and
Section 401. Surface waters can include, but not limited to, creeks, lakes,
streams, ponds, and intermittent tributaries.
L

The extent of the Jurisdictional Waters were determined in the field following the
Routine On-Site Determination Method as defined according to the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetland delineation Manual and verified by the US Army Corps of
Engineers. The extent of the Jurisdictional waters of the US on this 645 Acre site
is approximately 7.07 Acres.
Breakdown of Jurisdictional Waters on Site

Surface Waters
± 4.46 Acres

' Jurisdictional Waters in the vicinity of the project are generally limited to small
wetland areas adjacent to McDowell Creek, headwater tributaries and infrequent
associated wetlands areas. These wetlands and tributaries have been identified
' as PF01A (Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved Deciduous Temporarily Flooded)
and/or PSS1A (Palustrine Scrub-Shrub Broad Leaved Deciduous Seasonally
' Flooded) according to the National Wetland Inventory Map (USFWS). These
wetland areas are various stages of succession ranging from emergent to mature
bottomland hardwood forest. Other wetland areas which are unmapped could be
classified as PEM1 F (Palustrine Emergent Persistent Semipermanently Flooded),
PF01 C (Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved Deciduous Seasonally Flooded).

VII. WETLANDS PERMITTING AND MITIGATION
The Harris Group has actively pursued professional planning input to develop this
strategically and economically important project while maintaining sensitivity to
environmental concerns. Preliminary planning involved site analysis and
consideration of environmental and regulatory issues. Topography, natural
features and systems, circulation network, site organization, open space and
development requirements, and environmental issues were considerations in
designing the overall plan. During the schematic planning stage meetings were
held with representatives of the US Army Corps of Engineers and the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management to review schematic planning
efforts including unavoidable impacts, and minimization and mitigation measures.
The plan and commitments made in this report reflect a positive response to the
preliminary negotiations and determinations, and concerns of the regulatory
agencies. Except for temporary construction and development impacts we believe
that the proposed project will not cause significant impacts to the ecological
functions or values of Jurisdictional Waters of the US.
Avoidance and Minimization
Through intensive planning efforts, filling large tracts of wetlands to build the golf
course and development sites has been avoided. The wetlands were
incorporated into the design of the golf course and the only fills necessary are at
two landing areas. Where fairways cross wetland areas woody vegetation will be
removed by hand clearing or other approved techniques to avoid "mechanized
land clearing" and soil disturbance. Vegetation in the fairway area will be replaced
with low growing herbaceous wetland vegetation.
Best Management Practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters. This will include:
- Siltation Barriers
- Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
- Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect
trees
- Preconstruction meetings
- Other methods as appropriate
Vehicular access will be restricted to specific areas to avoid disturbance to
adjacent wetlands and natural areas. Methods to prevent short term impacts will
be inspected regularly and maintained during construction of the project.

COMDensatory Mitigation
A mitigation plan has been developed to provide for a "no net loss' of wetland
' habitat, value, and function to the extent feasible on this site. The goal was to
meet the mitigation ratios proposed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management and Draft Corps of Engineers Guidelines. The type
' of mitigation shown on the plan are described below generally fall under the
category of ENHANCEMENT.
' Enhancement - Increasing one or more of the functions of an existing wetland by
manipulation of vegetation and/or hydrology. Enhancement Mitigation to
compensate for the proposed impacts to Jurisdictional Waters include the
' following and is depicted on the General Permitting and Mitigation Plan :

VIII. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A Stormwater Management Plan will be designed and implemented for portions of
the project that consist of Commercial, Office, Corporate, and Business land
uses. Stormwater runoff from these uses listed above has the potential to
degrade water quality in all types of waters. Wet detention basins shall be the
primary treatment system. Properly designed wet detention basins have been
proven to be a viable solution to reduce pollution. They are efficient in removing
suspended solids ad other pollutants, reducing peak runoff rates, and controlling
downstream erosion. There is also a potential aesthetic value if the pond's can
be designed into the overall plan.
ormwater Management Plan Conce_pts
Stormwater management becomes necessary when increasing the impervious
area within an existing natural area. The impact of the increased runoff and
reducing natural filtration will be analyzed with respect to the capacity and stability
of natural channels and the presence of environmentally sensitive areas. The pre
and post-development runoff will be determined and used as the basis of
stormwater management techniques. Special consideration will be given to
avoiding erosion and degradation of environmentally sensitive areas, wetlands,
and surface waters.
The Stormwater Management Plan will include:
A. Wet Detention Basins that will attenuate 1.0 inch of rainfall over a 24 hour
period for high density sites including office, commercial and business
uses.
C. Riser outflow structures to maintain a pool and encourage filtration.
B. Utilization of wetland mitigation areas where possible to increase filtration.
D. Directing runoff into natural areas and wetland/biofiiters to treat runoff
before entering surface waters.
E. Maintaining natural and planted areas between the developments and
Jurisdictional Waters.
F. Development of a wetland littoral shelf where feasible in shallow areas.
The planners will utilize information and guidelines provided by the North Carolina
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources in developing the
design of wet detention basins.

Re: + 645 Acre- Birkdale Residential Golf Course Community, Meck. County, NC.
Dear Ms. Nicholls:
On behalf of my client, The Harris Group, I am notifying the US Fish and Wildlife
Service regarding the presence of endangered species which may be affected by the
development of this residential and golf course development near McDowell Creek. In
the near future it may be necessary to apply for Section 404 Nationwide Permits for the
proposed wetland impacts. I have reviewed the USGS Quad maps at the Natural Heritage
Program Office at NCDEHNR in Raleigh and no protected species or sensitive habitats
were indicated on the project site. However, a large part of the project site is in open
fields, utility rights of ways, and in various states of natural succession to forest
communities, with compatible soils for the Schweinitz's sunflower. The developer
employed the services of a qualified consultant to conduct a field survey to determine the
presence, if any. The reviewer was also sensitive to other Federal and State candidate
species. According to the survey and report conducted by Professor James Matthews, no
populations of SchweinitZs sunflower, or other Federal candidate, or State listed species
were identified.
I have included for your use a copy of the portion of the USGS Quad Map, a soils map
created from SCS Soil Survey for your information. I look forward to your response and
please contact me if you have any questions about the site based on my evaluation or
need additional information. I respectfully request written confirmation if you concur
with the findings so I may include it with our permit application.
Thank you for your assistance.

Environmental Assessment - Endangered Species
Birkdale Residential Golf Course Development
' Huntersville, NC
The Birkdale Residential Golf Course Development is ± 680 acres on both sides of
' McDowell Creek, south of Sam Furr and David Kenney Farm Rds., with access to Northcross Dr.
to the east, and Babe Stillwell Farm Road and Hwy 73 to the west. The majority of the acreage is
in open fields, utility rights-of-way, pine woods, or fields undergoing various stages of
' succession. There is very little mature hardwood forest. The field work was performed the
first week of July.
To facilitate the survey work, we used the Orthophotoquad 1:24,000 topographic sheets
to determine the open areas in the site, as of the date of the photography in 1976. This allowed
us to see which areas may be available, since most of the species occur in open habitats. We
were careful to search the open fields, margins of the woods-floodplain ecotone, the utility
rights-of-way (Transco Pipeline, Piedmont Natural Gas and Duke Power), the power line
rights-of-way and forest ecotones along Hwy 73, David Kenney and Babe Stillwell Farm Rds. We
' also used the soil series maps for Mecklenburg Co. to determine potential soils available. Two
soils compatible with Helianthus schweintzii were noted, Mecklenburg and Enon. We were
careful to check these soils for the sunflower, where open areas coincided.
There have been significant changes in the management of the land in this area since the
aerial photography in 1976. Many fields have been abandoned or planted in trees. Many areas
that had been fields in the past are now dense, weedy, shoulder-high mixtures of Johnson Grass,
Goldenrods, Blackberries, Lespedeza, Honeysuckle and Poison Ivy that do not provide a habitat
for the species of concern. Several of the previously open fields had mixed pine/hardwood
forests with DBHs of 6 inches. All of the fields on the orthophotoquads east of McDowell Creek
are not open presently.
Comments on the species from Mecklenburg County:
' Helianthus schweinitzii - no plants were found during the field survey. Most of the fields have
such a dense growth of weedy species that this species could not be successful. The open areas
along the utility rights-of-way had no populations.
Anemone berlandieri and A. caroliniana - These species bloom in early spring and are not
' evident now, but the habitats are not generally available. -
Aster georgianus - Several clasping leaved aster populations were noted, but they were A.
patens.
Baptisia albescens - No baptisia species in fruit were noted.
' Botrychium jenmanii - This species was not noted, and the survey is a little early in the season.
Cardamine dissecta - The habitat for this species, open understory floodplain is not present.
' Carex projecta - There are no well-developed swamps on the site.

u

1

Delphinium exaltatum - The soil type and habitat is not present.
Dodecatheon meadia var. meadia - The habitat is not present.
Echinacea laevlgata - The habitat is not present.
Gnaphalium helleri var helleri - There were plenty of open woods margins, but no evidence of
this species. Probably the soil type was not present.
Hexalectris spicata - There may be some vegetative habitat present, but the soil type probably
is not. We did not see any of this species.
Lotus helleri - Most of the fields were too densely vegetated for this species to survive. Several
relatively open areas are present, but the species was not.
Nestronia umbellula - We did not see any of this species.
Silphium perfoliatum - We did not see any of this species.
Silphium terebinthinaceum - We did not see any of this species.
Solidago rigida ssp. glabrata - We did not see any firm-leaved goldenrods.
There were no sightings of any species of concern for Mecklenburg County.

Re: +645 Acre Residential Golf Course Development near Huntersville Mecklenburg
on
Dear Ms. Gledhill-Earley
On behalf of my client, The Harris Group, I am notifying the State Historic Preservation
Office regarding the presence of historic or archaeological sites that may be affected by
the project my client plans to develop. In the future, a very limited amount of wetland
impacts may require Section 404 Nationwide Permits. I have previously visited the
Office of State Archaeology and the Survey and Restoration Branch concerning this site
to review existing data on the USGS Quad maps and no archaeological sites or
architectural sites eligible for listing on the National Historic Register were indicated.
Several areas around the project area and in the vicinity have been surveyed and although
several sites were indicated, none were determined eligible for the listing in the National
Register.
Based on my site visits and as you may be able to see from the attached aerial
photographs, the site is very disturbed by past agricultural practices, roads, and utility
line clearings - both overhead powerlines and buried gas and oil trunk lines. A large part
' of the project site is now in heavy successional overgrowth. Woodland areas were
severely impacted by Hurricane Hugo. I am also not aware of any standing structures on
the site. I was also able to review a copy of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for Sam
Furr Road (SR 2145 - State Project 6.804755 : T.I.P. No. R-2624) Widening and
Interchange at I-77. According to the EA for Sam Fun Road, the SHPO indicated that
they had conducted a review of that project and were aware of no properties of
' Architectural, Historical, or Archaeological significance which would be affected by the
project.

Re: Wetland Delineation Submittal - Birkdale (Knox-Kelly Site)
Dear Steve:
On behalf of the Harris Group Inc. developers of Birkdale, I am submitting the survey of
the wetlands and supportive documentation on the project site for your review and
approval. It has been revised to add the small area under the power line at the wetland
near Sam Fun Road (See Detail "B"). The approximate location of the channel has also
been indicated at the large wetland area. We are currently utilizing this map in our
planning efforts and in the future we plan to discuss wetlands planning, minimization and
permitting issues with you.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. Also
please forward a signed set of prints to the surveyor as well.
Thank you.

FROM: Owen F. Anderson, rr'4ie ont Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: September 6, 1995
SUBJECT: 401 Certification for Harris group to fill wetlands for
the Birkdale Project near Huntersville, Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina. DEN ID # 95794.
Biologists on the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission Staff have reviewed the subject document, our
comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of
the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish
and wildlife Coordination act (48 Stat. 4ol, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-
131 et seq.).
The applicant plans to Construct a mixed use development
with office/commercial apace, single/multifamily housing, and
golf course on a 645-acre site at the headwaters of McDowell
Creek in Northern Mecklenburg County. The applicant proposes to
fill a total of 2.21 acres of wetlands under NWP#26, NWP##14,
NWP#18, and NWP#12. The project site contains approximately 7.07
acres of wetlands. The Santee Chub (Hybopsis zanewa), a state
listed species of concern, has been reported in downstream
McDowell Creek according to the document.
A detailed mitigation plan is presented. The applicant used
avoidance and minimization with wetlands being incorporated into
the design of the golf course. Best management practices will be
used to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters. Wetland
enhancement included establishing a minimum wetland buffer, re-
establishing bottomland hardwood vegetation, replanting a wetland

area, providing a stormwater management pond, and providing
biofilter areas on the golf course.
We will not object to the issuance of this permit as long as
the applicant conducts mitigation as proposed. However, we have
the following recommendations to protect the wetlands and
downstream habitats:
1. A total of 6.63 acres of vegetated wetland areas should be
created or re-established on-site to replace the 2.21 acres
of wetlands that are to be filled. The created wetlands
should be located adjacent to existing wetlands or streams.
2. Require that all remaining wetlands on the site be protected
from additional development. Deed restrictions should be
placed on individual lot owners to prohibit wetland
destruction.
3. Implement and maintain a strict, state approved
sedimentation control plan during construction to prevent
silt from entering streams and other wetlands.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input into the
review process. If I can be of further assistance, please
contact me at [phone].

Re: NWP "Notification" A-mtication for + 645 Acre Birk ale Re idential Golf Course
Development near Huntersville, Mecklenburg. Coimly
Dear Sirs or Madams:
On behalf of The Harris Group, I am pleased to provide the following permit information
concerning "Birkdale" for your review and consideration. The ± 645 Acre development is
located north of Charlotte and west of Huntersville in the rapidly growing Lake Norman
area of Mecklenburg County. The potential for impacts to Jurisdictional Waters was
anticipated early in the planning process and impacts to wetlands have been avoided and
minimized. All of the proposed impacts and mitigation have been preliminarily reviewed
and discussed with the Corps of Engineers (Mr. Steve Lund) and the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management (Mr. Mike Parker). The development will also
comply with the requirements of the Mecklenburg County/City of Charlotte Watershed
Buffer Guidelines. As an integral part of the development, minimization of impacts to
Jurisdictional Wetlands and Waters of the US will include measures to protect water
quality such as: treatment of runoff from commercial and maintenance areas;
management of construction and staging areas; protection of natural buffer areas and
vegetation; strict adherence to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan; and
other Best Management Practices. Mitigation will include enhancement of existing
wetland areas, providing littoral zones on the stormwater ponds and "bio-filter" zones as
indicated on the attached plans and report.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation.
Thank you again for your consideration.
