Re: Request for NWP 14 - Access to Approximate 16 acre parcel from Grandover Parkway. Guilford
County. NC

Dear Sirs:

On behalf of my client, Mr. John Musto of Koury Corporation, I am requesting your review of the enclosed
plans and information concerning the development plans for your consideration and approval under
Nationwide Permit #14. Based on discussions with John Thomas of the USACE this road crossing would
be eligible for Nationwide Permit # 14 provided that standard conditions are met.

Background

Koury Corporation is in the process of purchasing a parcel that has important and desirable frontage on
Business 1-85 for future development. The location of the access point from Grandover Parkway has been
determined by the following circumstances:

- Aligns with Dover Park Road
- Existing median cut that will allow important left turn access to the site.
- Roadway access to the site is feasible and would be within the roadway design slope requirements.

Alternative Anall'sis
- Median cuts on Grandover Parkway may not be closer than 900' apart. The first available access point
beginning at Trailwood Drive moving east does not have a median cut and therefore would not currently
allow left turn access from Grandover Parkway coming east from Groometown Road. It also does not align
with an existing curb cut across Grandover Parkway.

If a median cut is allowed to afford this left turn access, then impacts to wetlands and waters of the U. S, to
make the crossing would be minimal. However based on grading studies conducted by the engineers and
planners, access to the remaining developable portions of the site could not feasibly and practically be
achieved, In order to meet the maximum roadway slope requirement from this access point the entire site
would have to be cut 15' to 20' or more. The elevation of any structure on this site would be below the
elevation of 1-85 and therefore lose the critical and economically desirable frontage, The soil survey also
identified Pt (Pits) on a major portion of the site. These are areas where the original soil material has been
removed or altered beyond recognition.

Mr. John Thomas, Mr. John R. Dorney, NWP 14 - Access to 16 acre parcel
Page 2, Novemeber 16, 1996

This unit is made up of borrow pits, quarries, and sanitary landfilIs. Surrounding areas consist of Wilkes
sandy loam which have a depth to bedrock from 40" to 80" (approximately 3 1/2' to 4 1/2') according to the
NRCS Soil Survey. Therefore cutting into this area could be severely limited.

Ifnecessary this study can be further schematicalIy developed for your review.

Minimization and Mitigation

Width of the filI wilI be limited to the minimum necessary to make the crossing. Side slopes will be 2: 1 or
greater. The impact area is expected to be approximately .25 to .30 acre. Note that large portion of this
specific wetland area has been previously impacted by others during the installation of a sanitary sewer line
and that the contour of area was not restored to previous conditions

Best Management Practices wilI also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. This wilI
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 to be preserved. Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and
maintained during construction of the project. Wetlands to be preserved will be clearly marked prior to
construction to prevent accidental damage to wetlands. The contractors will be held responsible for
unauthorized wetland damage not permitted according to plans and specifications.

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 wilI
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.

Proposed Compensatory Mitigation

Koury Corporation recognizes that this wetland crossing, even though based on circumstances beyond
practical control, occurs at the widest area of this intermittent stream/wetland complex and will further
degrade the former natural conditions. As you are aware the lower portion of this complex from the
powerline clearing to Reddick's Creek is now a rip-rap channel due to road construction. In the future Koury
Corporation will likely request a permit to restore this area to a more natural setting including large water
quality pond, littoral fringe, and tree plantings. However, this will need to be part of an Individual Permit. In
order to mitigate for the proposed wetland impacts associated with this particular road crossing Koury
Corporation will expand the high value scrub/shrub wetland at least 20' wide in the powerline easement.
Also the contours of the wetland area above the road crossing which were disturbed by the sanitary sewer
installation will also be restored and seeded. This mitigation work will occur concurrently with the road
crossing construction.

General Description of Proposed Mitigation Area.~

This proposed wetland mitigation site is expected to be seasonally inundated and saturated during the winter
and early spring and temporarily flooded during the spring and summer which similar to existing wetland
conditions. Hydrophytic vegetation will be planted with existing saplings of willow, alder, buttonbush, silky
dogwood, green ash, sweetgum, sycamore, and other saplings. As part of the specific mitigation plans and
construction documents a list of specific plant species and quantities will be prepared for approval by the
USACE and the NCDWQ.

The specific plans will include:
1. Description of Proposed Mitigation Areas
2. Planting Plan
3. Progress and/or Monitoring Report
8. Mitigation Plan Schedule

The mitigation site will be planted at an initial density of approximately 500 trees woody stems per acre by
utilizing a combination of relocated saplings and bare root seedlings. In addition to woody species,
herbaceous plants wilI be relocated or wilI be planted in a random / naturalistic pattern and diversity. Trees,
shrubs, and herbaceous plant materials will be selected from the following list.

Scrub/Shrub
Alnus spp.
Cornus amomum
Salix nigra

Betula nigra
I1ex decidua

Planting shall be in naturalistic / random clumps to encourage diversity. Size at planting and variety may vary
based on availability, cost, and aesthetic objectives

The mitigation site will be planted at an initial density of approximately 500 woody stems per acre planted in
a random pattern to match adjacent conditions in surrounding wetland areas. Herbaceous species will be
planted at a rate of 1000 clusters per acre or wilI be seeded when possible with a wetland seed mix which
will result in a coverage of at least 100 stems per square meter upon germination. Survival rates of seeding
versus individual plants will be explored for each species selected based on availability, site specific data, and
cost factors. All new plantings will consist F ACW and OBL species. Planting will be conducted in the spring
and the fall. Annual ryegrass or other annual vegetation will be utilized in order to provide temporary
stabilization during the summer and winter months or until planting times become available.

Existing wetlands and surface waters will be protected from erosion and sedimentation during construction
and installation of the mitigation sites. Control structures such as sedimentation traps, siltation barriers,
and/or at a minimum silt fence will be utilized as necessary.

Stormwater Management Plan

A Stormwater Management Plan will be designed and implemented for the project to meet the 401 Water
Quality Certification requirements. Stormwater runoff from paved surfaces and landscaping 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 and 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.

Stormwater Management Plan Concepts
Stormwater management becomes necessary when increasing the impervious area within an existing natural
area. The impact of the increased runoff and reduction of 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.

Mr. John Thomas, Mr. John R. Dorney, NWP 14 - Access to 16 acre parcel
Page 5, November 16, 1996

The Stormwater Management Plan will include:

A. Wet Detention Basins that will attenuate 1.0 inch of rain fa 11 over a 24 hour period for high density
sites including office, commercial and business uses.

B. Utilization of wetland mitigation areas where possible to increase filtration.

C. Riser outflow structures to maintain a pool and encourage filtration.

D. Directing runoff into natural areas and wetland/biofilters 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.

Plans and Monitoring

Detailed plans for the mitigation areas will be further articulated from the information included in this
document. These plans will be submitted to the USACE and the NCDWQ for approval. Plans will include:

Site Preparation Requirements
Vegetation Requirements
Tracking and Monitoring Requirements

A monitoring program will be developed to monitor the mitigation areas to include:

Vegetation Parameters
Species Composition and Abundance
Survival
Growth

Monitoring of vegetation will be conducted on a semi-annual basis according to the following general
procedures.

A. Measure growth, species diversity, advise on removal of invasive species.

B. Establishment of a representative sample observation plot of at least 30' radius to record the
number and species of each surviving woody stem and the percent aerial cover of the three most dominant
specIes.

C. Within the 30' radius area a 10' radius area will be established to record the three dominant
herbaceous species.

D. Periodic site VISItS will be conducted for maintenance, aesthetic purposes, and possible
modifications to increase survival rates.

Mr. John Thomas, Mr. John R. Dorney, NWP 14 - Access to 21 acre parcel
Page 6, November 16, 1996

E. Field data will be recorded on a monitoring data form and submitted along with representative
photographs in a annual monitoring report. This will be submitted to the USACE and the NCDWQ. At the
end of the third year a report will be prepared for review and to determine the need for future monitoring or
modifications.

Semi-annual Progress Reports will be prepared which summarizes the data colIected in the field and notes
trends. Photographs at fixed stations will be taken to document the trends and changes occurring at the sites.
These reports will be furnished to the Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Department of Water
Quality. After the third year of monitoring, a summary report and as-builts will be furnished for review and
discussion regarding compliance of the project with conditions of the permit.

Success Criteria
The data collected during the monitoring period wiII be utilized to evaluate the success of the mitigation
areas. The success criteria wiII be as follows:

Soil saturation within 12 inches of the surface for a minimum of
approximately 12 consecutive days during the early part of the growing season.

Establish at least one hydrology indicator per the 1987 USACE Wetland
Delineation Manual in the sample plot or match adjacent riparian habitat
surroundings

Establishment of at least one hydric soil characteristic or match adjacent
riparian habitat surroundings.

minimum 60% survival rate for planted saplings or other planted
vegetation.

These Vegetative, Soil, and Hydrological Characteristics must be met to determine success of the wetland
mitigation. If the mitigation is determined to be unsuccessful the following one or more of the following
contingency plans will be implemented.

1) Selected re-installation of vegetation, thinning, and/or acceptance
2) Hydrological modifications or manipulation and/or
3) Off-site mitigation sites.

Schedule
Grading, instalIation of water control structures wilI be built concurrently with project construction which is
expected to begin in the fall and winter of 1996. Vegetation planting and instaIlation is expected to be
conducted in the dormant season of November, 1996 through March, 1997. This will alIow the hydrological
and soil conditions to be prepared and adjusted if necessary before planting to optimize the success rate.
Temporary crops in these areas may be required until plant materials are installed.

Conclusion

The goal of the planning and compensatory mitigation is to balance the environmental consequences of this
intense development by creating beneficial wetland habitats and protecting water quality. The mitigation sites
will be preserved by the applicant or by a group designated by the owner for this purpose. They will be
managed as a wetland system of high value.

Action ID No. 199202850 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated
Waters)

Sedgefield project
C/O Koury Corporation

Greensboro, North Carolina 27407

Dear Sirs:

Reference is made to mor letters dated September 1, 1992, and August 30,
1993. These letters authorized 5.0 acres of impacts to waters and wetlands of
Reddick's Creek, unnamed / above headwater tributaries of Reddick's Creek, and
Jenny Branch associated with the proposed Sedgefield Project located off of
Wiley Davis Road, Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina.

Reference is also made to your request of May 3, 1994, for additional
development of the Sedgefield Project. Review of your request shows you
propose an additional 4.69 acres of impacts to the above headwaters
tributaries of Reddick's Creek and Jenny Branch. Authorization of this
request would result in accumulative impacts of 9.69 acres of aforementioned
waters and' wetlan~s for the Sedgefield Project.

For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) , Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters.

Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided
you receive a Section 401 water quality certification from the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM.) You should contact Mr. John
Dorney, telephone [phone], regarding water quality certification. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other
required State or local approval. Xn addition, to compensate for impacts to
waters and wetlands of Reddick's Creek, uDlul...d / above headwater tributaries
of Reddick's Creek, and Jenny Branch you must implement and comply with the
attached mitigation plan that you have developed in coordination with members
of my ..taff and the staff of the North Carolina Division of BnviromMnta1
Kanagement (NCDBK.) Construction of the mitigation sites will be initiated at
such time to provide for planting of vegetation the first suitable planting
period (December 1 through March 15) following commencement of the proposed
additional development. If you cannot meet this timetable due to construction
staging, you should submit written documentation to this office justifying the
reason for a delay, as well as the anticipated date of mitigation
construction. Also, please pay attention to Condition 12 of the enclosed
general conditions which addresses Historic Properties. Reference is made to
the attached Progr.....tic Agre...nt dated Septeaber 9, 1994. YOU.wlt
implement and comply with all conditions of this agreement to satisfy concerns
of impacts to the Stephen Gardner Bouse / Gold KiDe Historic Site. Non-
compliance with this agreement will be consider a violation of the conditions
of this permit. .

-2-

This verification will be valid for two years from the date of this
letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked.
Also, this verification will remain valid for the two years if, during that
period, the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification
or the activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide
permit authorization. If during the two years, the nationwide permit
authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that
the activity would no longer comply with the te~ and conditions of the
nationwide permit, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under
construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the
nationwide permit will remain authorized provided the activity is completed
within twelve months of the date of the nationwide permit's expiration,
modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has been exercised
on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the authorization.

Questions or comments -may be addressed to Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

Sincerely,

G. Wayne Wright
