Item 14.
The applicant proposes the crossing of a single minor un-named intermittent tributary
which occurs between neighborhoods within the development. The crossing is
necessary to provide vehicular access between these portions of the development. The
proposed crossing has been located at a point on the channel which contains no
sidestream wetlands and avoids or minimizes unnecessary wetland impacts. Culverts
will be placed at the point of crossing to provide free passage of surface water flow.
Impacts to wetland areas occurring upstream and downstream of the crossing will be
avoided.
Incedental adverse impacts to downstream water resources will be prevented during
construction by providing on-site sediment and erosion control measures per an
approved grading plan. All disturbed areas will be physically or vegetatively stabilized
and inlet and outlet protection will be provided at the culvert in the form of headwalls
to prevent failure of these.areas.

Dear John:
Please find enclosed seven copies of a completed Joint Application for NWP 14 and a
Preliminary Wetland Determination for two separate proposed road crossings located at
Highland Creek in Mecklenburg County, NC. The crossings will occur on minor un-named
intermittent tributaries on the site which have not been crossed before under a NWP 14. Only
one crossing is proposed for each tributary. Neither tributary has been crossed before.
All areas of the site which are to be affected by the proposed activities are located
above the headwaters to Clarke Creek and have been assigned a water quality classification
of "C". The total of impacts resulting from all proposed activities including filling, dredging
or other modification, is approximately 0.02 acres for each of two crossings. Impacts will
occur only within the OHWM of each channel and will not impact sidestream wetlands.
Normal stream flows will not be interrupted and will be maintained by providing culverts.
Every effort will be made to minimize impacts to natural downstream functions and values. It
is the intent of the developer to avoid development impacts to other areas delineated as
wetland in this report and to preserve them as common open space, however portions of the
remaining study area are being reviewed as possible mitigation sites.
This project has recieved 401 certification for activities in the past for previous
development phases as indicated on the enclosed correspondence.
One copy of the enclosed application and delineation are being provided to Steve
Lund, U.S. Army Corps, for wetland boundary verification and NWP 14 authorization.
Could you please review the enclosed information for consistency with the General
401 Water Quality Certification which has been issued for Nationwide Permit 14. It is our
understanding that this activity can proceed under the General Certification provided that all
conditions are satisfied. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or if there
is any way I can be of assistance. If you would like to conduct a site visit to review these
areas, I would be pleased to accompany you. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Craig R. Wyant

Site Location
The Highland Creek Project is located in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties, NC and
' consists of approximately 1277 acres of land within Mecklenburg County and
approximately 700 acres within Cabarrus County. The entrance to the project is located on
the north side of Ridge Road (S.R. 2601) approximately 3500 feet west of its intersection
with Prosperity Church Road (N.C. 2459). Access to the project is gained by taking the
Mallard Creek Church Road West exit from I-85 and following Mallard Creek Church
Road until it becomes Prosperity Church Road, then following this road to its intersection
' with Ridge Road.
The project site is located within the Cornelius, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, and Derita NC
USGS Quadrangles and within the watershed of Clarke Creek (NC stream index 13-17-4)
which is tributary to Rocky River within the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin.
Study Areas Location
' The portions of the site which are included within the study area of this report consist of
two minor un-named intermittent tributaries which occur downstream of existing farm pond
' impoundments. The area studied for each tributary begins at the downtstream point where
the stream crosses golf course boundary and extended upstream to the furthest extent of
positive wetland indications or evidence of a normal Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM).
' The first tributary system has been identified as T-1. This system begins at the golf gourse
boundary on the north side of Tee #16 and extends upstream for approximately 1800 feet.
This study area includes an abandoned farm pond impoundment which had been breached
' at some time prior to this investigation. The documented transect within this study area has
been identified as Transect A.
' The second tributary system has been identified as T-2 and begins at the golf course
boundary on the southeast end of the Practice Range and extends upstream for
approximately 1200 feet. This study area includes an existing farm pond impoundment
which is intact. The documented transect within this study has been identified as
Transect B.

General Site Description
' The Highland Creek project site contains one major named stream, Clarke Creek, which
forms its eastern boundary and is located below headwaters. Other waterways on the site
consist of three un-named primary perennial tributaries to Clarke Creek identified for the
purposes of this report as Tributaries to Clarke Creek (TCC-1, TCC-2, and TCC-3) and
' and numerous smaller secondary or tertiary intermittent tributary channels. With the
exception of Clarke Creek, all tributaries on this site are located above headwaters. All of the
' secondary and tertiary drainageways were observed to have very small contributing basins
and carry flow only for a short duration immediately following storm events. Due to the
relatively steep topography the smallest channels drain quickly and do not carry permanent
flow.
t
A significant part of the Mecklenburg County portion of this site has already been
developed into golf course community as indicated on the Project Location Map. A project-
wide routine wetland determination had been conducted by Oldham Planning and Design
Associates, Inc. and Sabine & Waters Environmental Land Management Consultants
during 1989-1990 as a part of the planning for the development.
t The portions of the site which are included within this delineation include two secondary,
intermittent tributaries (T-1 and T-2). These channels flow into a confluent un-named
perennial tributary of Clarke Creek (TCC-1). The study areas have been identified as T-1
which relates to a proposed road crossing for Heathercrest Drive and T-2 which relates to a
proposed road crossing for Cambridge Bay Drive. Areas upstream and downstream of the
proposed crossing locations have been included within the delineation. The perennial
' tributary has not been included within the study area for this application.

Wetland Determination Methodology
For the purposes of this delineation, only two of the minor un-named tributaries on the site
have been studied. It is the intent of the owner to have a re-delineation conducted for the
remaining un-developed portions of the site in the near future. This delineation was
conducted to specifically review two areas for which an application will be made for road
crossings under NWP 14 and to review two potential mitigation sites.
Those portions of the site which have been identified (in a preliminary manner) as
jurisdictional under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and
Harbors Act include the channel of minor tributaries to the line of ordinary high water, and
wetland areas which satisfy the definition of a wetland in the "Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1", January 1987, U.S. Army Corps
Environmental Laboratory.
A routine on-site determination method utilizing the multi-parameter approach was
implemented to identify the upper wetland boundary of all areas which satisfy the three
parameters as described in the manual:
1. Hydrophytic Vegetation
2. Hydric Soils
3. Wetland Hydrology
The methodology was utilized to make the determination:
1. Preliminary data gathering and synthesis.
Data sources
USGS Quadrangle Map ( 7-1/2 minute quad)
USFWS National Wetlands Inventory Maps
USDA-SCS Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County
Applicant provided topography, boundary survey, previous wetland
delineations and development plans..
USA-COE letters referencing previous on-site visits and permits.
Conversations with Corps, DEM, Owner.
2. Selection of Routine on-site Determination Method
3. Identification of Plant Community Types
Each study area was divided into its major vegetation communities for
charactization.
4. Transects were established approximately perpendicular to each major water course for
location of sample observation points.
5. Observation points were located along transects within each major vegetation community
to observe and record the characteristics of hydrophytic vegetaion, hydric soils and wetland
hydrology.
Each sample observation point (sample plot) consisted of one or more 18-24" deep test pits
dug with a spade to characterize soils and hydrology, and a thirty foot radius area to
characterize tree and woody vine species, and a five foot radius area to characterize a
representative sample of the sapling, shrub, and herbaceous plant species. All observed data
was recorded on an appropriate Data Form as well as notation of Atypical Conditions and
Normal Environmental Conditions. A determination was made whether or not the sample
plot was a wetland based upon available and observed data. Each recorded sample plot has
been marked in the field with labelled surveyors flagging.

When a wetland/non-wetland determination had been made at all sample plots, an upper
wetland boundary was assumed to occur between wetland plots and non-wetland plots.
Numerous additional test pits were dug along each transect to identify the boundary
' location. These test pits have been marked in the field with blue and white striped flagging.
Once boundaries had been located along each transect, the characteristics at this point were
utilized to determine the boundary location between transects until the entire site had been
divided into wetland and non-wetland areas. This boundary was then confirmed and
adjusted through the use of visual observation and additional test pits on either side of the
line. All upper wetland boundaries and intermittent channel centerlines have been located in
the field with numbered surveyors flagging. Each flag has been assigned a number and has
' been located on a topographic map of the site with a compass and field measurement.
Stream channels which exhibited no sidestream wetlands were delineated to the line of
' ordinary high water (OHWM) by establishing cross sections at 100' intervals along the
entire course of the channel and recording significant channel measurements including top
width, bottom width, width at OHWM, depth, and other significant features unique to the
section. All section locations have been photographed, sketched on plan and in section, and
marked in the field with numbered surveyors flagging. A chart summarizing the
dimensions recorded at each stream section for tributary T-1 and tributary T-2 is enclosed.

Soils
' The soils of the site have been mapped by the Mecklenburg County portion of the site have
been mapped by the Mecklenburg office of the USDA Soil Conservation Service and are
documented on sheets 2, 4, and 5 of the Mecklenburg County Soil Survey.

Soils which have been identified on the entire Mecklenburg County portion of the property
are generally comprised of the following series (hydric series and observed hydric
inclusions underlined):
CeB2 Cecil Sandy Clay Loam, 2-8% slopes, Typic Hapludults
' CeD2 Cecil Sandy Clay Loam, 8-15% slopes, Typic Hapludults
EnB Enon Sandy Loam, 2-8% slopes, Ulric Hapludalfs (observed)
t EnD Enon Sandy Loam, 8-15% slopes, Ultic Hapludalfs
' HeB Helena Sandy Loam. 2-8% slopes. Aquic Hapludults (Observed)
IrA Iredell Fine Sandy Loam, 0-1% slopes.Typic Hapludalfs(observed )
' IrB Iredell Fine Sandy Loam, 1-8% slopes,Typic Hapludalfs (observed)
MeB Mecklenburg Fine Sandy Loam, 2-8% slopes, Ultic Hapludalfs
' MeD Mecklenburg Fine Sandy Loam, 2-8% slopes, Ultic Hapludalfs

' MO Monocan soils, Fluvaquentic Eutrochrepts tobserved )
WkB Wilkes Loam, 4-8% slopes, Typic Hapludalfs
WkD Wilkes Loam, 8-15% slopes, Typic Hapludalfs
WkE Wilkes Loam, 15-25% slopes, Typic Hapludalfs
' Those soils which are known to have a hydric component include Monocan soils and
inclusions found in some Iredell, Enon, and Helena soils. Test pits throughout the site
indicate that actual soil profiles observed are generally consistent with mapped series. Test
pits within areas of hydric soils revealed low chroma matrix, gley, Mn or Fe concretions,
mottling, oxidized rhizospheres, or other characteristics typically associated with hydric
soils. All other test pits revealed high chroma soils with a typical matrix color and lack of
' other hydric indicators throughout the soil profile within the root zone.
The portions of the site within the study areas contain primarily Mecklenburg (MeB &
MeD) soils with smaller areas of Wilkes (WkB) or Iredell (IrB) soils at upper stream
' reaches and side slopes. The only soils within the study areas which were observed to be
hydric were within stream channels, at pond edges, and in those areas along the channel
which at one time had been impounded.

Cabarrus County soils were not reviewed as a part of this study.

The pond on tributary T-2 rema
Tributary T-1 at one time had a smaller pond located near the uppermost reaches of the
' drainage area. This pond was long ago breached and impacts to wetland associated with this
pond were included in previous permitted activities.
' A small area of the lower reaches of tributary T-2 appears to have been impounded at one
time but was subsequently drained. This area occurs between channel sections T-2.5 and T-
2.6. A small seepage slope occurs near the toe of the dam below the existing pond at section
' T-2.9.
The National Wetlands Inventory indicates that each of the two study areas contains an area
of PUBHh (Palustrine, unconsolidated bottom, permanently flooded, diked/impounded).
' The area of tributary T-1 no longer exists, and the area of tributary T-2 represents the
existing pond.
' The breached pond on tributary T-1 and the small breached impoundment on tributary T-2
do not appear on the National Wetland Inventory.
' The total contributing drainage area of tributary T-1 is approximately 33.6 acres.
The total contributing drainage area of tributary T-2 is approximately 35.7 acres.
' All waters within the site have a water quality classification of "C" and are not considered
to be Water Supply, ORW, HQW, trout waters, or coastal waters.

' Vegetation Communities
The study areas of concern within this report were limited to relatively minor portions of the
' site which occur within the channel and along sideslopes of the two minor tributaries.
These areas were mostly forested and were comprised of predominantly non-hydrophytic
Oak-Hickory canopy with a sub-canopy of Red cedar, Dogwood, and Redbud. The
' herbaceous layer is dominated by Honeysuckle in most well drained areas and by
Microstegium in areas which are subject to periodic surface flows. In those areas which
border stream channels, the canopy included more hydrophytic canopy species of Maple,
Sweet Gum, and Willow Oak and a sub-canopy which consists of saplings of the above
' species in addition to Privet, Deciduous holly, Paw-paw, and Cherry. Groundcovers near
channels were dominated by Microstegium and Cardinal flower.
' Actual documented species which occur at the proposed crossing location within each study
area are recorded on the enclosed data forms for both wetland and non-wetland sample
plots. The relative dominance of species within each strata and the indicator status of each
dominant species has been noted based upon "The National List of Plant Secies Which
Occur in Wetlands, 1988 National Summary" US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Item 14.
t The applicant proposes the crossing of a single minor un-named intermittent tributary
which occurs between neighborhoods within the development. The crossing is
' necessary to provide vehicular access between these portions of the development. The
proposed crossing has been located at a point on the channel which contains no
sidestream wetlands and avoids or minimizes unnecessary wetland impacts. Culverts
' will be placed at the point of crossing to provide free passage of surface water flow.
Impacts to wetland areas occurring upstream and downstream of the crossing will be
' avoided.
Incedental adverse impacts to downstream water resources will be prevented during
construction by providing on-site sediment and erosion control measures per an
' approved grading plan. All disturbed areas will be physically or vegetatively stabilized
and inlet and outlet protection will be provided at the culvert in the form of headwalls
' to prevent failure of these areas.

Dear Siras
Through our coordination with your consultant, Mr. Art Oldham, we have
learned of your flans to fill 0.5S acres of waters and wetlands for general
development purposes on unnamed,"headwater tributaries to Clark's Creek at
Highland Creak Development, Pha96 C off Ridge Road northeast of charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, North.Carolina. This work is in addition to 3.5 acres
that was previously authorized for Phasos A and B bringing the total area of
fill in waters and wetlands authorized under Department of the Army nationwide
permit to 4.48 acres.
For the purposes of the Corfu of Engineers' }regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal

dredged or fill material into headwatera and isolated waters provided:
i
a. the discharge doers riot cause the loss of more than 10 acxka of waters
of the United States;
b. the permi.ttee notifies the District Enginoer if the discharge would
cause the logs of waters of the Onited Statea greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notific.atiot" general condition. 1:or diavharges in
apeaiarl aquatic sites, iricludi:lc3'wetlands, the notification 'must also include
a delineation of affected apec:i.fic aquatic sites, including wetlands; and

Dear Mr. Wright: -
On September 21, 1993 you met with Mr. Steven Lund of my staff,
together with Mr. Arthur Oldham, Oldham Planning & Design Associates, at the
site of Phase A of the Highland Creek Subdivision adjacent to an unnamed,
headwaters tributary of Clark's Creek northeast of Charlotte, Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina. The purpose of this meeting was to review a
previous delineation of wetlands under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
regulatory jurisdiction affecting lots 8, 9, 10, and 25 off Glen Manor
Drive.
The two wetland areas in question were delineated using the 1989 Corps
of Engineers Wetland Manual. A field review of these areas indicated a
general lack of hydrology indicators as well as weak and inconsistent
evidence of hydric sail criteria. Based on this information we have
determined that the wetland boundaries of these areas should be revised as
indicated on the enclosed plan in order to comply with the currently
utilized 1987 Wetland Manual. Please make this revision a part of your
permanent record.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Lund at telephone (704)
271-4857.

of approximately S.$ acres of both emergent herbaceous and forested.
wetlands around man-made- gnlf course lakes. According to the application

This letter is in response to the pre-discharge notification that w,-
received from you concerning a proposed project called Highland Creek Golf
and Residential Development in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties, North
Carolina (copy enclosed). Your pre-discharge notification indicates that
total adverse impacts to waters of the United States and/or adjacent
wetlands will be no more than 3.2 acres for the total project.
The period allowed by regulation for us to review your pre-discharge
notification has expired. Consequently, your proposed project is authorized
provided it complies with the criteria for authorization by Nationwide
Permit No. 26.
A separate Department of the Army permit is not required providing the
work is performed as indicated on the pre-discharge notification and your
letter dated June 21, 1991, and in accordance with the conditions listed in
33 CFR 330.5(b)(1-14) (copy of list enclosed). Other State and local
authorizations may also be required.
This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit is modified,
reissued, or revoked. All nationwide permits are scheduled to be modified,
reissued, or revoked prior to November 13, 1991. It is incumbent upon you
to remain informed of changes to the nationwide permits. We will issue
public notice announcing changes when they occur. Furthermore, if you
commence or are under contract to commence this activity before the date the
nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will have 12 months from the
date of the modification or revocation to complete the activity under the
present terms and conditions of this nationwide permit.
Thank you for your cooperation with our permit program.

Highland Creek-Revised May 21, 1991
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Pursuant to our recent conversations, and our on-site meeting on April 29, 1991, Sabine
& Waters is pleased to submit the following final revisions for Phase A and the golf course of
the Highland Creek project on behalf of American Newland Associates.
' The revisions include the .elimination of residential lot fill in the two large wetland areas
in the southwest portion of Phase A, as well as other locations that we agreed to. The entrance
to Masters Hill subdivision will be relocated as you requested to further reduce wetland impacts
' and 0.67 acres of fill on the north side of golf hole No. 15 will be deleted. Based on these
revisions, the revised proposed wetland impacts are as follows:
Type Impac Acr gg
Filling for Golf Course Fairway 0.4
Filling for Residential Lot 0.5
Clearing and Flooding for Lakes 2.3
' Total 3.2

These impact figures, as well as the attached maps, include all golf course impacts and
residential lot fill, including that previously authorized under Nationwide Permit No. 26 (letter
to Mr. David Wright from G. Wayne Wright, dated March 25, 1991). The only additional
impacts on the site will be the minor roadcrossing previously authorized by Nationwide Permit
Nos. 14 and 26. The total impact for the 12 minor roadcrossings, excluding Masters Hill Drive,
is 1.9 acres.
It is our opinion that the proposed project, as revised, provides the maximum practical
impact avoidance and minimization. The resultant, unavoidable impacts ( total of 3.2 acres) will
be mitigated by the creation of 5.5 acres of wetlands as described in our revised report dated
May 21, 1991, and accompanying maps, for a ratio of 1.7 to 1.0 (1.7:1).
Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions or need additional
:information. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
D. Nick Roark

' De.ar Mr. Wright:
Thank you for the inquiry of February 4, 1991, from Mr. Nick Roark on your
behalf regarding your plans to construct subdivision access roads and place
fill for residential lot development in several unnamed, headwater tributaries
to Clarke Creek at the proposed Highland Creek Subdivision off Riage Road
northeast of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Caroline.
' The information submitted with Mr. Roark's letter indicates that your
proposed work would involve 10 separate and distinct road crossings of minor
tributaries to Clarke Creek together with additional road fill and lot
development in headwater streams and their adjacent wetlands totaling
?. 0.9 acrss of adverse impact.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations ((",FR), Part 330, published in the Federal Register
on November 13, 1986, lists nationwide permits. Authorization, was provided
for minor road crossing fills including all attendant features, both temporary
and permanent, that are part of a single and complete project for crossing of
' a non-tidal waterbody, provided that the crossing is culverted, bridged or
otherwise designed to prevent the restriction of, and to withstand expected
high flows and provided further that discharges into any wetlands adjacent to
the waterbody do not extend beyond 100 feet on either side of the ordinary
' high water mark of that waterbody. Authorization was also provided for
discharges of dredged or ;fill material into non-tidal rivers, streams, and
their lakss and impoundments, including adjacent wetlands, that are located
above the headwaters and other non-tidal waters of the United States,
?_. including adjacent wetlands, that ars not a part of a surface tributary system
to interstate waters or navigable waters of the United States. This general
authorization is valid only for work that causes the loss or substantial
adverse modification of less than 1 acre of wetlands.
Your work is authorized by nationwide permit provided it is accomplished
in strict accordance with the, enclosed conditions. Please be aware that this
t authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
