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.
Applicant is reminded that sewer line shall be no closer than 10 feet from the edge of stream except
at stream crossings. The enclosed list of plant species suggested to be used for soil stabilization
purposes. 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

Dear Sirs:

This is in response to a September. 15, 1995 request from Mr. Tim Lowder
of the city of Concora to grant an extension of the expiration date for a
wetlands jurisdictional determination, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, completed for Charlotte Motor Speedway property, adjacent to the
Rocky River, north of U.S. Highway 29, near Concord, in Cabarrus County, North
Carolina. On December 15, 1992, Mr. Steven Lund of our Asheville Field office
staff verified the wetland delineation and survey undertaken by Mr. Hal Owen
and Mr. Mickey Williams of Edgerton Environmental Services.
The expiration date for the original verification was March 11, 1995.
Due to a change in our operating policy, wetland delineation verifications are
now good for a period of 5 years. Therefore, the current expiration date for
'%:etland delineation at the speedway property is March 11, 1998. In
addition, we have noted that no change in the environmental conditions on the
site has occurred that would warrant adjusting the wetland line.
If you have any questions, please contact our Cabarrus County
representative, Mr. Steve Chapin, at [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

Attn: Mr. Steve Lund
REF: Action ID 199301446
Gentlemen:
On March 11, 1993, your department issued a letter verifying the
delineation and survey of wetlands for the Charlotte Motor Speedway
as an accurate representation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Regulatory jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act on
the pcriion of property shown. That letter was valid for a period
of two years, and expired March 11, 1995.
Mr. Lex Patterson from the city of Concord has talked with you to
clarify what was needed to reverify the wetlands delineation. You
asked us to submit a survey map of the new property boundary with
the wetlands delineation shown within that boundary and a copy of
the golf course layout. I am enclosing two copies of the property
map, a copy of the proposed golf course layout and your letter of
March 11, 1993. If you need any additional information, please
contact us at 704-786-6161 Ext. 304.
Your efforts to reverify the wetlands delineation to help us
construct this golf course with minimal impact to the surrounding
area would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
THE CITY OF CONCORD

Action ID. 199301446
Charlotte Motor Speedway
Development Corporation
Post Office Box 600
Concord, North Carolina 28026
Gentlemen:
March 11, 1993
On December 15, 1992, Mr. Steven Lund of my staff visited your property
known as the Moorehead Farms tract adjacent to the Rocky River north of
U.S. Highway 29 and the existing speedway facility to verify the delineation
and survey of our regulatory jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. Also onsite were Mr. Hal Owen and Mr. Mickey Williams of Edgerton
Environmental Services.
Based on this visit and subsequent office review, we find that the Wetland
Survey for Charlotte Motor Speedway with revisions dated January 27, 1993 is
an accurate representation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' regulatory
jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act on the portion of the
property shown. Any activity, including mechanized land clearing, that
results in the discharge of dredged or fill material into these wetlands would
require prior permit authorization from this office. Individual permits would
be required for development activities in the wetlands adjacent to the Rocky
River and could be difficult to obtain given the value of these bottomland
hardwood forests. Nationwide Permit No. 26 would apply to the three small
tributary streams on the property, however additional field work would be
required to establish the point at which these tributaries and their wetlands
become part of the Rocky River wetland system.
Please note that our regulatory program is subject to change, as is the
physical nature of your property. Therefore, this letter is valid for a
period of time not longer than 2 years from the date of issuance, and may be
voided at any time should we determine that the regulations governing our
program or changes in the physical nature of the property warrant such an
action.
Please provide two copies of the referenced wetland survey map for our
files. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Lund, Regulatory Branch,
Asheville Field office, telephone (704)
