Dear Mr. Thomas:
Please reference the July 10, 1995, onsite meeting between Mr. Jim
Bivins, engineer for the project, Mr. Larry Sink, wetland consultant, and
Mrs. Jean Manuele of my regulatory staff and your subsequent application of
August 14, 1995, for Department of the Army authorization to discharge fill
material within waters of the United States, causing adverse impacts to 5.68
acres of wetlands adjacent to an unnamed tributary to the Uwharrie River, for
reconstruction of a lake at the Colonial Country Club, located northeast of
Thomasville, in Randolph County, North Carolina.
We have determined that your proposed excavation, filling, and flooding
activities will result in more than minimal adverse environmental effects.
The emergent marsh/scrub-shrub wetlands which will be impacted, occurring
within the relic lakebed, perform significant water quality functions by
filtering runoff from approximately 260 acres of land - much of which consists
of developed golf course and residential properties. These wetlands trap
sediment and toxicants, filter pollutants, absorb chemicals and nutrients, and
provide for nutrient cycling. Of lesser significance, these wetlands provide
suitable habitat for various species of wildlife, including reptiles and
amphibians.
You are hereby notified that your proposed discharge of fill materials
into waters of the United States, as described in your pre-construction
notification received August 17, 1995, does not qualify for nationwide permit
authorization. Should you wish to further pursue Department of the Army
permit authorization, you have the options of either applying for an
individual Department of the Army permit or reapplying for nationwide permit
authorization with the submittal of a mitigation proposal which reduces
adverse effects to the minimal level. However, my staff has suggested that
you consider the restoration and expansion of relic littoral shelves, which
occur along the gently sloping edges of your proposed lake, that would provide
water quality functions similar to those currently being performed by the
existing wetlands. Although mitigation was discussed during the above-
mentioned meeting, a specific acreage was not addressed. If mitigation is
included in a modified proposal, all final details of the mitigation plan must
be submitted with the proposal, including a monitoring plan and success
criteria.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mrs. Jean B. Manuele, Raleigh

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. 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 adjudi6atory
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. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

Attn: Brad Thomas
Dear Mr. Thomas:
This office has reviewed the subject sedimentation and
erosion control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable and
hereby issue-this letter of approval with modifications as listed
on the enclosed page.
Be advised that Title 15 NCAC 4B.0017(a) requires that al
copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the job
site. Also, you should consider this letter to give the Notice
required by GS 113A-61(d) of our right of periodic inspection to
insure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is
performance oriented, requiring protection of the natural
resources and adjoining properties. If following commencement of
this project it is determined that the plan is inadequate to meet
the requirements of the Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act
of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 through 66), this
office may require revisions to the plan and its implementation
of the revisions to insure compliance with the Act.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the

agencies. This could include the Division of Environmental
Management under storm water or water quality regulations,

jurisdiction, county, city or town agencies under other
local ordinances, or other approvals that may be required.
This approval cannot supersede any other permit or
approval."
Please be aware that if more than five acres are to be

Intent (NOI) for coverage under the general stormwater NPDES
Permit for construction sites prior to beginning any land
disturbing activities. Before submitting the NOI, you should
first become familiarized with all of the requirements for
compliance with the general permit. When submitting the NOI, a
copy of this letter of approval needs to be attached.
Your cooperation is appreciated and we look forward to
working with you on this project.

ATTACHMENT 2
NATIONWIDE PERMIT APPLICATION FORM TO IMPACT 5.60 ACRES BY REFILLING A
PREVIOUSLY DRAINED LAKE BED
In late 1990, the Owner of the lake paralleling Colonial Country Club Golf Hole No. 5 received a Notice
of Deficiency concerning a sink hole that had developed on the lower face of the dam, The Owner at that
time drained the lake and then breached the dam in order to reduce the potential liability.
Being that the lake was owned basically by two parties it has taken approximately 4 years for Colonial
Country Club to get the agreements of all parties for them to repair and replace the dam. This lake effects
three holes along the Colonial Country Club Golf Course, therefore, it is of the utmost concern of all the
members to restore the lake to its original elevation.
Apparently, the lake was built in the 1930's or 40's. It is hard to get an exact date on it and then the golf
course was built around the lake in the 1970's.
In this area of Randolph County the wetlands on the small unnamed tributaries generally consist solely of
the width of the branch or creek. We recently completed a golf course approximately 7.5 miles away from
this site where we delineated the wetlands prior to start of construction. On this site, the wetlands
consisted primarily of the creek banks which averaged from five to ten feet wide throughout the project.
I would have expected the original wetlands in this project to consist of approximately the same type and
to have been much less than what is currently showing up in the bottom of the reservoir. One reason for
this is the method of constructing an earthfill dam. As you are aware, the normal procedure is to remove
material from within the reservoir site itself for the utilization of the dam embankment. When this is
done a lot of holes or irregular areas are left in the bottom of the reservoir that are subsequently flooded
and covered by the lake itself and therefore posed no problem. In fact, these irregular areas actually help
the fish population. However, when a pond is drained, these irregular areas then become traps for water
and intact do become wetlands over a period of time which has what has occurred in the last four years on
this site. Also, a drained lake will have a lot more wetlands in the upper end of the lake due to silting in
over a period of time. Therefore, it is my opinion that the original site contained much less wetland than
the current 5.6 acres that we are showing at the present time.
With all of the above in mind, we feel that it is not unreasonable to request a permit to flood these
wetlands back to the original water elevation without any form of mitigation being required
