Dear Mr. Johnston:
Reference your application of June 25, 1996 and subsequefi t modification
of July 12, 1996, for Department of the Army (DA) authorization to fill and
excavate 1.94 acres of waters and wetlands and create 0.33 acres of new
forested wetlands to develop a 147-acre commercial business park adjacent to
an unnamed, headwater tributary of Stony Creek off Mallard Creek Church Road
(SR 2472) northeast of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
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). In addition to these conditions
the following special conditions apply to this authorization:
1) All wetland mitigation and minimization measures described in your

Dear Mr. Dorney:

We are in receipt of your letter of Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification
dated July 22, 1996, for the referenced projects. On behalf of Crescent
Resources, Inc., we would like to express our appreciation for the thorough and
expeditious manner in which these applications were handled by your
department. Through Mr. Len Rindner, we have had several conversations
with Mr. Eric Gelamb and Mr. Jimmy Overton, and they were most helpful in
confirming that the wetlands noted in your letter can indeed be removed upon
receipt of 404 certification from the U.S. Army Corps. Of Engineers (USACOE).
We would like to also express our commitment on Crescent's behalf to provide
the minimization measures and compensatory mitigation for impacts to
wetlands in order to develop the project as provided in our application. Since
the inception of our work and the initial meetings with Mr. Rindner , Crescent
has diligently pursued and utilized extensive professional planning input from
the USACOE and the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
(NCDEM), as well as engineering, architectural, marketing and environmental
consultants to develop this important project.
We are currently working on the detailed plans for the wet detention basins and
will obviously use the guidelines provided by NCDEM. We understand clearly
that the site engineering, architectural, sedimentation and erosion control storm
water treatment and wetland mitigation on this complex project must be
designed carefully and we will develop the Construction Documents in such a
way as to assure that all plans and details are effectively coordinated. We will
begin forwarding interim progress plans through Mr. Rindner to assist you in
verifying compliance with the conditions of our permit prior to our final submittal
and subsequent basin construction.
Thank you again for your assistance and cooperation during the pre-application
;r eft process and your professionalism throughout. If you have any

FROM: Owen F. Anderson, Piedmont Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: July 23, 1996
SUBJECT: Mallard Creek Church Road Property Request for 401 Water Quality Certification
to rill wetlands near Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.. DFM ID #
960608.
Stuff biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed
the sub ect application for 401 water quality certification with respect to anticipated project
impacts on aquatic habitats. Our comments are provided in accordance with ccrtuin provisions
of the Dish and Wildlife Coordination Act (Stet, 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 ct. scq.), and
Section 401 (b) of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and North Carolina General
Statutes (U.S. 113-131 et. scq.).
The proposed Mallard Creek Church Property Project is located on approximately 147
acre: in northeast Mecklenburg County. The developer is seeking approval to impact 1.97 acres
of wetlands and convert a 0.97 acre pond to a wet detention basin. Approximately 3.8 acres of
wetlands (ranging from emergent, scrub/shrub, to mature bottomland hardwood forests) and 1.9
acreH of surf tVC waters are located on the project site. These wetlands, according to the
document, are considered valuable for water quality and habitat.
We appreciate the efforts made to avoid and minimize wetland impacts. 'IU document
states that two acres of high quality scrub/shrub wetlands, creeks, and a depression wetland will
be preserved and protected by buffers. Other efforts include a 100-foot buffer to protect a
tributary and sedimentation control. A mitigation plan includes creation of 0.33 acres of

wetlands, enhancement of a wetland area, and possible replacement of a littoral area. A
stormwa.ter management plan is provided.
We concur with the issuance of the permit under the following conditions:
1. Require the applicant, developer, and property owner to fully implement the Mitigation
Plan and Stormwater Management Plan as outlined in the document.
2. Require that all remaining wetlands on the site be protected from additional development
or destruction. Deed restrictions should be placed on the properties to prohibit wetIfuid
fill, draining, flooding, excavation, or other impacts to existing wetlands.
3. Trnplcmcnt and maintain a strict, state approved sedimentation control plan during
construction to prevent silt from entering streams and other wetland areas.

Re: Nationwide Permit #26 Application for Mallard Creek Church Road Prop. Charlotte.

Dear Sirs:
Please find enclosed a revision to the site plan in the vicinity of wet detention basin #2 as requested by John
Dorney of NCDEM. This revision reduces the number of road crossings over the perennial to intermittent
tributary and further enhances the natural corridor protecting the stream and adjacent wetlands within the
project. It also reduces the impact area approximately 0.04 acres, thereby reducing the total impacts to
approximately 2.90 acres (97 acres to convert existing pond to wet detention pond). In addition, based on
my meeting with John Domey and Mike Parker on July 11, to review this modification, an outlet from the
wet basin will be provided to supplement and/or provide the hydrology to the mitigation area adjacent to
Area "D". We believe that the plan with these modifications and the commitments made in the report
submitted earlier reflect a positive response to the preliminary discussions and concerns of USACE and the
NCDEM.
Please let mg4now if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

II. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed Mallard Creek Church Property Project is located on approximately 147
acres in northeast Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The tract is approximately one
mile west of the Exit 46 on Interstate 85 and within two miles of the I485 Outer-Belt
now under construction. The site is ideally situated to take advantage of and enhance the
rapid economic growth related to the research, high technology and medical facilities in
northeast Charlotte. Due to the rapid anticipated growth in population and employment
opportunities, Mallard Creek Church Road has been recently widened to four lanes. The
immediate project area is primarily rural in character and consist mostly of former
agricultural and undeveloped land. A large portion of the acreage is in open fields and the
woodland areas are in various stages of succession. Current land uses in the vicinity are
agricultural, woodland, and low density single family residential; however, large denser
single family subdivisions, office, and other commercial facilities are being developed in
the vicinity.
The tract is currently zoned RE-3 (Research) and permits a variety of commercial and
business uses. Due to the site planning constraints (earthwork) of a development of this
type, large contiguous areas must be graded as building pads and parking. While nearly
all of the wetlands on this site can be characterized as high value, the jurisdictional
waters and wetlands which will be impacted include ponds, small tributaries, isolated
wetland areas, and wetlands highest in the drainage area along the primary tributary. This
will conserve and enhance the water quality values of the wetlands downstream on the
site and the water quality and habitat values of the large depression wetland at the
northeast corner of the site.
As shown on the Nationwide Permit (NWP) applications, the developer seeks approval to
impact approximately two acres of jurisdictional waters. Another one acre of impact is
required to convert an existing pond to a stormwater treatment pond. All fill material will
be unpolluted and appropriate measures to control sedimentation and erosion will be
employed. Wetlands which will not be disturbed will be protected during construction
from construction traffic, drainage, and other forms of disturbance.
A total of two acres of high quality scrub/shrub wetlands, creeks, and a depression
wetland area will be preserved and protected by buffers. The one acre pond will be
converted to serve additional stormwater treatment functions. These remaining wetland
areas will be enhanced with vegetative buffers; site engineered to support existing
wetland hydrology and restored through planting and the creation of vernal pools. In
addition, 0.33 acres will be created adjacent to an existing wetland to provide mitigation
for the losses of wetland functions and values, thereby reducing the loss of jurisdictional
wetlands to less than one acre. The following sections present the results of the
environmental planning and regulatory reviews of the project site and a description of the
impacts and proposed minimization and mitigation measures. The undisturbed wetland
areas and the mitigation sites will be preserved by the applicant or by a group designated
by the Owner for this purpose. 4

III. 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 (Helianthus 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 from rural areas in Union County. 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.
I
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 and John Soule, of the Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program. According to their review no federal, state, or local plant species
of concern were identified or expected to occur on the site. This information was
submitted to the USFWS and they concurred with the findings. Their letter is included in
the Appendices.
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 and their headwaters will be crossed or
temporarily disturbed by the proposed project, 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. Therefore, strict
adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be maintained
during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality.
5
I

' Since a large portion of the primary intermittent and permanent tributaries will be
retained (including adjacent wetlands) it seems likely that the darter, if present, would
continue to inhabit this stream after development. The use of BMP's and proper sizing of
culverts should result in negligible impacts to downstream water quality.

Re: Approximate 147 Acre Tract between Mallard Creek Church Road W alloway Road in
northeast Charlotte. Mecklenburg County
' Dear Ms. Nicholls:
On behalf of my client, Mr. W. Dirk Johnston of Crescent Resources, Inc. I am notifying the US Fish and
Wildlife Service regarding the presence of endangered species which may be affected by the proposed
development. Due to site development requirements, it may be necessary in the near future to apply for
Section 404 Nationwide Permits. A review of USGS (Derita Quad) Maps at the Natural Heritage Program
at NCDEHNR in Raleigh on March 19 did not indicate any endangered species previously identified on the
' site.
Except for small forested areas, the site in general is in very dense old field succession from former
agricultural activity and is dominated by groudsel tree, cedar, and blackberry. Since Schweinitz's sunflower
is known to occur in Iredell soils, I was accompanied by Mr. John T. Soule of Dr. Jim Matthews H.A.R.P.
organization during the wetland delineation process. John T. Soule is one of Dr. Matthew's primary field
investigators. Neither John T. Soule nor I identified Schweinitz's sunflower or habitat conducive for it's
' survival. I have included for your use a copy of the portion of the USGS Quad Map, soils map created
from the SCS Soil Survey, and a section of a county aerial photograph from 1990.
1 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 am also requesting written confirmation if you concur with the
survey findings so I may include it with our permit application in the future.
Thank you for your assistance. r

Dear Mr. Rindner:
Subject: Proposed development of a 147-acre tract between Mallard Creek Church Road and
Galloway Road in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
In your letter of May 5, 1996, you requested our concurrence that no federally endangered or
threatened species would be affected by the subject project. The following comments are
provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) appreciates the fact that a survey for federally
endangered or threatened species, particularly Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii),
was conducted by Mr. John Soule on the subject property. Mr. Soule observed no federally
listed endangered or threatened species and did not find any potentially suitable habitat for any
federally listed species on the proposed project site. Thus, the Service concurs with your
determination that the project will have "no effect" on federally listed species. In view of this,
the Service believes the requirements under Section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However,
obligations under Section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals
impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not
previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not
considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may

IV. 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 in March, 1996 to review potential existing designations on the on the USGS
Quad maps. The purpose of this review was to determine if there was of previously
identified sites in the project area.
Based on 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.
Required formal contact was made with the SHPO their response is included in the
Appendices.

Dear Ms. Gledhill-Earley:
On behalf of my client, Mr. W. Dirk Johnston of Crescent Resources, Inc. I am notifying the State Historic
Preservation Office regarding the presence of historic site or archaeological sites that may be affected by the
project my client plans to develop. In the future we intend to apply for 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 (Derita) Quad maps. According to these maps no
archaeological or historical sites have been previously identified on this site.
' The site in general is in old field succession from tree harvesting, former agricultural activity and is
dominated by groudsel tree, cedar, and blackberry. The wooded areas are depression swamp and adjacent
areas. The standing structures are single family homes and farm buildings. I have included for your use a
copy of the portion of the USGS Quad Map, soils map created from the SCS Soil Survey, and a section of a
county aerial photograph from 1990.
We look forward to your response and please contact me if you have any questions or need additional
' information.
Thank you for your assistance.

Re: 147-acre tract between Mallard Creek Church
Road and Galloway Road, northeast Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, ER 96-8886
Dear Mr. Rindner:
Division of Archives and History
Jeffrey J. Crow, Director
Thank you for your letter of May 5, 1996, concerning the above project.
We have conducted a search of our maps and files and have located the following
structures of historical or architectural importance within the general area of the
project:
Mallard Creek Church (MK 1274), northeast side of SR 2472, 0.3 mile east
of junction with US 85.
Galloway House (MK 2544), SR 2470, 0.5 mile east of junction with SR
2467.
House (MK 1299), south side of SR 2472, 0.85 mile southeast of junction
with SR 2467.
None of these properties appear to be eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based
on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological
resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places will be affected by the project construction. We, therefore, recommend that
no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations
for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

V. AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of headwater wetlands and intermittent
tributaries of Mallard Creek. A variety of wildlife is supported by these systems including
mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore,
strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be
maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality
' downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Ponds, creeks, and wetlands will be
within approximately 15 acres of natural areas.
' Fish Species
Fish species that are most likely to occur in the project area include (but not limited to)
t high back, creek and blue head chub, green and red breasted sunfish, pirate perch,
tessellated darter, white sucker and rosyside dace.
t Crustaceans and Shellfish
Cambrus and Procambrus crayfish are expected to inhabit areas near intermittent
tributaries. Indigenous and Asiatic clams, and snails are likely to inhabit the ponded
' areas and are not expected to substantially inhabit intermittent tributaries.
Amphibians and Reptiles
' Amphibians and reptiles that are likely (but not limited to) to occur near streams include
dusky and two-lined 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
I 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:
' "Those 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 are 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 may not be limited to creeks, lakes, streams, ponds, and
intermittent tributaries.
' METHODOLOGY
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were
determined according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical
' Report Y-87-1, 1987, with Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and
interpretation of topographic maps; USDA Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs,
and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the Routine On-Site Determination
Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to make a
positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and
' wetland hydrology must be identified as described in the manual. Typical observation
plots were located along transects perpendicular to the drainageway direction to observe
and record potential indicators. This information was then recorded on Data Form - I
' which indicates specific information about the typical plot. The upper boundary was
assumed to occur between the non-wetland and wetland plots.

Due to the complexity of this site numerous additional test plots and borings were
conducted when necessary to increase the accuracy of the delineation. Once the wetland /
non-wetland determination was made the characteristics at that point were utilized to
determine the wetland boundary between transects and additional test plots through
visual observation.
The wetland boundary was marked in the field by Leonard S. Rindner, Environmental
Planning Consultant, and was reviewed, field adjusted, and verified by the USACE
(Steve Lund) on February 29, 1996. The approved wetland boundary is marked in the
field with blue and yellow flagging. This delineation between upland and wetland was
then surveyed by a registered surveyor (ESP Associates, P.A.) to determine the actual
wetland extents for submittal to the USACE for confirmation, planning, and potential
permitting purposes.

The wetland areas are in various stages of succession ranging from emergent,
scrub/shrub, to mature bottomland hardwood forest. The wetlands have formed in
perched water table conditions, in flat to nearly level areas, along intermittent tributaries,
and depressions over an extremely dense clayey subsoil layer often associated with
inclusions in Helena and Iredell soils. A depression swamp and hardpan forest areas was
also identified on the site. These wetlands are considered valuable for water quality and
habitat, especially for amphibians.

Surface drainage on the site is generally in an easterly direction to tributaries of Stony
Creek and Mallard Creek. The hydrological features include man-made impoundments
and intermittent to perennial tributaries of varied widths and depths and adjacent
wetlands. Mallard Creek eventually flows to the Rocky River. It is in the Yadkin-Pee Dee
River Basin. The Water Classification is "C" : aquatic life propagation and survival,
fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. All the surface waters and
wetlands on this site are above the headwaters line.
The wetlands on this site based on an evaluation by the NCDEM in April, 1996 are of
high quality and value according to the Fourth Version - Guidance for Rating Values of
Wetlands in North Carolina. Most of the values are attributed to:
Water Storage
Bank Stabilization
Pollutant Removal
Aquatic life habitat
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 U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The extent of the Jurisdictional Waters of the US on this 147 Acre site is 5.70
Acres.

VII. WETLANDS PERMITTING AND MITIGATION
The developer has pursued extensive professional planning input to develop this project
while maintaining strong sensitivity to environmental concerns. Preliminary planning
involved site analysis and consideration of environmental and regulatory issues.
Topography, natural features and systems, circulation, site organization, future utilities
(in particular sanitary sewer) open space and development requirements, and
environmental issues were considerations in designing the overall plan. Once the final
extents of the wetland areas were determined, a very strong effort, as depicted on the
land plan, was made to adapt the schematic land plan to avoid and minimize impacts to
wetlands. During the schematic planning stage meetings were held with representatives
of the US Army Corps of Engineers and 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, 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
Due to the economic, engineering, and spatial requirements of a development of this
magnitude, filling of large areas of wetlands on this tract is unavoidable. Several
schematic plans were developed during the pre-application review process. Meetings,
work sessions, and phone conferences with the NCDEM and the USACE were held to
review the plans, develop alternatives, and to minimize wetland impacts. Once it was
proven that the wetlands could not be avoided and that impacts were minimized to the
extent practicable a compensatory mitigation concept was developed in cooperation with
NCDEM and the USACE. Through creative planning efforts, filling of several large
contiguous areas of wetlands has been avoided. Significant wetlands areas and the
perennial tributary will incorporated into the design as a central natural amenity within
this highly urban project. The depression swamp at the northwest corner of the property
will be avoided completely. As recommended by the NCDEM, a minimum total 100'
wide buffer area is provided to protect the small perennial tributary within the central
area of the project. Overall wetlands and surface waters to be preserved, enhanced, and
conserved will be within approximately 15 acres of natural area. Best Management
Practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters. BMP's
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
13

I

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
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. Preconstruction meetings shall be held if necessary
with representatives of the USACE and the NCDEM.
In an effort to minimize impacts even further, the proposed sanitary sewer plans
- . usly d signed by others that would have impacted Wetland Area "B" will be
revised to avoid this high quality wetland In order to minimize the potential of
anticipated impacts to the depression swamp by ad'a n ading activities, an anti seep
barrier will be created utilizing clay (bull tallow) removed from development area on
the site as recommended by the U.S. Army Coss of Engineers.
Temporary construction access crossings shall be made from high ground to high ground
over channels which do not contain adjacent wetlands. Temporary culverts will be
provided to preserve existing natural drainage. Immediately after completing
construction, the channel will be restored to its natural contour and vegetation.
Proposed Lmacts
The development of the project will require an estimated two acres of impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. utilizing NWP #26. An additional .99 acres of impacts
NWP #26 will be necessary to convert an existing pond to a wet detention pond. These
are detailed on the following plans and schedules.
General Description of Impacts Utilizing NWP #26 (Headwaters & colated WAtercl
- Impacts to Intermittent/Perennial Tributaries + 0.34 acres
- Impacts to Wetlands (Includes surface waters within
delineated area) + 1.29 acres
- Impacts to Ponds + 0.34 acres
' --Impacts to Ponds to convert to wet detention pond + 0.97 acres
Total Jurisdictional Waters Impacted Utilizing NWP#26 + 2.94 acres
' Road crossings utilizing NWP#14 involving ± 0.03 acre will be conducted at a bank to
bank location. A sanitary sewer line as depicted on the Preliminary Sanitary Sewer Plan
will be installed utilizing NWP# 12 according to standard conditions.

C_lttpensatory 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 type of mitigation shown on the
' plans are described below and generally fall under the category of Creation and
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 as depicted on the
' Wetland Permitting and Mitigation Plan:
Maintaining and supplementing hydrology to existing wetland areas "B", "D",
' "E", "F", "G" by utilizing the stormwater system. In most cases on-site stormwater will be
treated in wet detention ponds. Off-site storm water will be piped through the site and
' allowed to discharge into the wetland areas. A small amount of the stormwater discharge
is intended to be utilized to enhance and maintain the hydrology of existing wetlands to
be preserved. The discharge velocity will be reduced and diffused utilizing standard rip-
rap plunge pools and level spreading devices. Wetland areas accidentally disturbed by
construction will be restored and replanted with hydrophytic vegetation such as
bottomland hardwoods, shrubs, and herbaceous materials.
' - Portions of Area "L" will be repaired by restoring areas disturbed during
preliminary subsurface soil exploration activities. In order to mitigate for the loss of Area
' "P" (30 acres of ephemeral "depression" wetlands) enhancement is proposed for Area
"L". Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinensis) will be reduced from this wetland area and
wildlife habitat will be enhanced by supplementing vegetation with Overcup oak and
' Swamp chestnut oak at a rate of six trees / 1000 SF. Tree size is expected to be a
minimum 1/2" caliper dbh. This is reduced from the typical twelve / 1000 SF general
guideline because of the existing canopy. Hydrology and water quality values will be
' enhanced within the wetlands by the creation through minor excavation of small vernal
pools to enhance ponding and amphibian habitat. These will generally be located in those
areas that were previously disturbed by soil survey activities and in areas disturbed by
' Hurricane Hugo. Forested areas surrounding Area "L" within the current property lines
will be preserved as buffer.
' - As recommended by the NCDEM, a substantial section of the existing perennial
tributary on the site and adjacent wetlands will be enhanced and protected by being
' incorporated within a minimum 100' wide natural buffer area in the central area of the
project. For aesthetic reasons, many scrub areas consisting of groundsel tree and
ligustrum within the buffers areas and wetlands will be thinned or removed. Thinning or
plant removal within wetlands will be conducted without mechanized land clearing
equipment. This will reduce the competition on existing successional trees to allow them
to mature more rapidly.
15
Open areas will be reasonably supplemented with trees relocated from elsewhere on the
site or purchased such as willow oak, sweetgum, willow, red maple, eastern redcedar,
silky dogwood, pine, river birch, sycamore, and native grasses. A conceptual planting
plan will be submitted to the USACE. Fescue grasses are not proposed to be used within
these areas.
Creation - Construction of a wetland area where wetlands did not exist in recent past.
This will be achieved by providing a wetland fringe and littoral zone in
association with the conversion of the existing pond - Area "T" to a wet detention pond.
A plant list will be developed to select the appropriate vegetation according to
hydrological zone. The final aquatic bench plans and specifications will forwarded to the
USACE and NCDEM for approval. Plant selection shall include those plants which have
strong nutrient removal capabilities. There is a strong potential that the existing littoral
zone surrounding Area "T" can be retained during the conversion process. If so, this
mitigation will not be conducted.
Approximately 0.33 acre of wetlands will be created along Wetland Area "D" by
converting upland to wetland by lowering the grade to that of surrounding wetlands. This
area will be graded concurrently with grading operations involving permitted wetland
impacts. The excavated soil of approximately 18" will be exported to an upland source
for disposal. The area will be saturated by directing surface drainage and runoff from
upland areas. This area is expected to be inundated and saturated during the winter and
early spring similar to adjacent wetland conditions. Hydrophytic vegetation will be
planted by relocating to the extent practical existing saplings of willow, alder,
buttonbush, silky dogwood, green ash, sweetgum, sycamore, and other saplings from
areas proposed be impacted. Hydric soil will also be relocated from the areas to be
impacted and utilized for the wetland creation. If relocated materials are not available the
areas will be planted with new vegetation. At least one half of the vegetation will include
plantings that benefit wildlife as a food source. As part of the construction documents a
list of specific plant species and quantities will be prepared for approval by the USACE
and the NCDEM. 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 if surrounding wetland areas Herbaceous species will be planted at a rate
which will result in a coverage of at least 100 stems per square meter upon germination.
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. Trees, shrubs, and
herbaceous plant materials will be selected from the following list.

Planting shall be in naturalistic / random clumps to encourage diversity. Specific plant
species, quantities, and size which will be utilized for the mitigation sites will be
dependent on availability, cost, time of year in which planting occurs, and number of
plants that can be successfully relocated.
The use of BMW's management practices will be used as appropriate to minimize
unavoidable impacts. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish, such as
fuels, will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near tributaries or
wetlands. Also, measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming
into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened. Employment of strict erosion
and sediment control procedures will be specified to avoid impacts to water quality.
17

Existing wetlands and surface waters and buffer areas 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.

VIII. 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.
Storm water 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.
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.
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.

Using the Chart: Finding the Surface Area of the Permanent Pool
The numbers in the c':art represent surface area (SA) to drainage area (DA) percentages. SA= the
wet detention pond permanent pool surface area required to provide an e.?pected 85% Total
Suspended Solids removal. The chart is based on the amount of Impervious cover as a percentage
of the area draining to the pond and the depth of the permanent pool. Impervious percenmgcs are
In the left hand column of the chart and depths are given across the table from 3 feet to 9 feet in
one foot inc:rments. If needed, one can interpolate to fled the SA/DA ratio that is needed in a
particular case.
To determine the required permanent pool size use the following steps:
1. Calculate the percent impervious cover of the site draining to the pond.
amount of imperious area / total site area
2. Deteru{ne the permanent pool depth (or seiect a depth for comparison purposes).
3. Go to the above chart and find the number corresponding to the impervious percentage found
above and the depth assumed This numbers represents the permanent pool surface area as a
percent of the drainage area.

4. To determine the required surface areas of the permanent pool, take the number from the
chart divide by 100 and multiply this number by the contributing drainage area.
Example: assume a 10 acre site with 3 acres of impervious cover.
1. % impervious = 3/10 = 0.30 or 30%
2. Assume an average permanent pool depth of 4 feet
3. From the chart, with 30% impervious and a 4 foot depth, the SAIDA ratio is given
as 1.08 A
4. The required surfacc area would then be;
(1.08 / 100) * 10 acres - 0.108 acres or 4,705 square feet
Finding the volume to be controlled from the 1" storm
5. The design runoff volume (the water quality pool) to be controlled must then be held in
the pond above this pool permanent pool level. An example of finding this volume is
shown below.
Example: Again, on the same 10 acre, 30% impervious site.
Using the runoff volume calculations in the "Simple Method" as described by Schueler
(1987);
Rv--0.05 + 0.009G)
Rv = runoff coefficient = storm runoff (inches) / storm rainfall Cinches)
I = Percent Impervious = Drainage area (acres) / Impervious portion of the
drainage area (acres)
In this example:
Rv = 0.05 + 0.009 (30)
Rv = 0.32 (inches 0
For the volume that must be controlled:
Volume = 1" rainfall * 032 (inches /) * 1/12 (feet / inches) * 10 acres
Volume = 0.267 acre feet or 11,616 fe
This volume must be drawn down over a period of two to five days.
NOTE: Other methods may be used to determine the volume of runoff from the 1" storm,
but care must be taken because all methods have their limitations and applications. The
method shown is used because it offers a conservative estimate of runoff volume for a broad
variety of land uses and impervious cover percentages.

IX. PLANS AND MONITORING
Detailed plans for the mitigation areas will be further articulated from the plans included
in this document. These plans will be submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 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.
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
Corps of Engineers, NC Division of Environmental Management. At the end of the third
year a report will be prepared for review and to determine the need for future monitoring
or modifications.
Annual Progress Reports will be prepared which summarizes the data collected 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 USACE and the
NCDEM. After the third year of monitoring, a summary report and as-builts will be
furnished to the USACE and the NCDEM for review and discussion regarding
compliance of the project with conditions of the permit.
20
I
The data collected during the monitoring period will be utilized to evaluate the success of
the mitigation areas. The success criteria will 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.
Establishment at least one hydric soil characteristic or match adjacent
riparian habitat surroundings.
not less than 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
Grading and installation of water control structures where applicable will be conducted
concurrently with project construction and is expected to begin in the summer of 1996.
Vegetation planting and installation is expected to be conducted in the dormant season of
January-February 1997 and spring for herbaceous materials. Temporary crops in areas to
be seeded may be required until warm season native grass mixes are installed.
21

The 147 acre development will provide enormous economic benefits to the region. The
goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental
consequences of this intense development by restoring and creating beneficial wetlands
or riparian habitats and enhancing and preserving the Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
remaining on the site. The undisturbed wetland areas and the mitigation sites will be
' preserved by the applicant or by a group designated by the owner for this purpose. The
preserved areas will be managed as a wetland system of high value.
