L.L.c. - Request for NWP 26 and 14 - + 55 Acre Single Family Residential Site. Mecklenburg County. North Carolina Dear Sirs: On behalf of my client, Mr, Mike Hinshaw, of Hinshaw Properties, L.L.c. Charlotte, North Carolina, 1 am requesting your review of the enclosed plans, 1 have also attached other information pertaining to the site, The proposed use of the site is a single family community, Southwest Charlotte and Mecklenburg County is experiencing rapid economic growth in conjunction with the Charlotte Outer Belt (1-485) corridor and recently completed relocated V,S, 521. This site is also in the general vicinity of Ballantyne, During the "due diligence" period wetland delineation was conducted, The wetland area was verified by Steve Lund of the USACE on August 28, 1996, SITE DESCRIPTION The site is within a drainage area of a headwater tributary of McAlpine Creek (Water Classification - C), The majority of the site is a gently sloping ridge in various stages of old field succession, Wooded areas tend to be situated in wetter areas and steeper slopes, The primary soils according to SCS Soil Survey on site primarily include Vance sandy loam and Appling sandy loam, These are typically well drained upland soils, however Vance soils may have inclusions of Helena (HeB), Helena soils may have hydric inclusions at the head of intermittent tributaries, Monacan (Mo) soils which occur in the floodplain and drainageways may be somewhat poorly drained or poorly drained and can also have hydric inclusions, The vegetation in the wetland areas are dominated by Facultative, Facultative Wet, and Obligate plants and includes river birch, green ash, willow oak, alder, silky dogwood, and other typical tree and shrub species, The herbaceous layer consisted of poison ivy, greenbriar, sedges, soft rush, jewelweed and microstegium, Wetland hydrology seems to be provided by groundwater springs and seeps, and surface runoff. A dense clayey subsoil have enhanced perched wetland conditions, Overbank flooding occurs along Clem's Branch and wetland pockets sporadically occur between the clearing and creek, Mr. Steve Lund - USACE, Mr. John R. Dorney, Mr, Mike Parker - NCDWQ Water Quality Planning Request for NWP 26 Page 2, November 2, 1996 SUMMARY OF WETLAND AREAS Area A Headwater Forest (PSS 1 A) Area B Headwater Forest (PSS 1 A) Area C Headwater Forest (PSS 1 A) Area 0 Emergent (PFOIA, PSSIA) Area E Pond (PUBHh) Area F Intermittent Tributary (PFO 1 A) Area G Clem's Branch - 680' Total Jurisdictional Waters = ::!::. 0,183 acre =::!::. 0.209 acre =::!::. 0,238 acre = ::!::. 0,680 acre =::!::. 0,107 acre = + 0,050 acre = + 0,150 acre = ::!::.1.617 acres Results of Preliminary Discussions with USACE According to Steve Lund of the USACE recommended that impacts to Area "0" and areas in the vicinity of Clem's Branch should be avoided, The remaining areas would be eligible for a Nationwide Permit #26 pending review, Result.f of Preliminary Wetland El'aluationINCDEM Guidelines Area "A", "C", "D", and a small portion of Area "B", has a moderately high value for water storage, bank stabilization, and pollution removal, with moderate value for aquatic and wildlife habitat (See attached evaluation forms), Area "D" is the highest value wetland on the site, Based on this evaluation significant impacts to these areas and Clem's Branch were avoided and minimized to the extent feasible, PROPOSED IMPACTS Impacts to wetlands are limited to the following: Area A Headwater Forest (PSS1A) Area B Headwater Forest (pSS 1 A) Area C Headwater Forest (PSS1A) Area D Headwater Forest (pFOlA, PSS 1A) Area E Pond (PUBHh) Area F Intermittent Tributary "Ditched" (PF01A) Area G Clem's Branch - 680' Total Jurisdictional Waters = ::!::. 0,110 acre = ::!::. 0,209 acre = ::!::. 0,004 acre = ::!::. 0,050 acre = ::!::. 0,107 acre = + 0,050 acre = + 0 000 acre = ::!::. 0.53 acre Impacts as a result of utilizing Nationwide Permit #14 Impacts as a result of utilizing Nationwide Permit #26 = ::!::. 0.16 acre = ::!::. 0.37 acre Minimization Measures A) The plan indicates that the wetland area with the highest value will be preserved, Storm drainage will be utilized to support the hydrology, The velocity and discharge spread to minimize erosion and channelization, B) As much forested buffer as possible will be retained on this project site as feasible around the wetlands and jurisdictional waters as generally indicated on the attached plan, The proposed impacts include the low value wetlands in Area "B", The hydrology of this wetland apparently relies on seepage from the pond dam and this is expected be reduced substantially once the pond is removed, C) Best Management Practices will also be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters, This will include: Mr, Steve Lund - USACE, Mr, John R, Dorney, Mr. Mike Parker - NCDWQ Water Quality Planning ~ Request for NWP 26 Page 3, November 2, 1996 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 clearly marked prior to construction to prevent accidental damage to wetlands, The contractors wi1l 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 NCDWQ, Short term construction impacts, primarily stream sedimentation will affect aquatic habitat, however this wi1l 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 wi1l 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 wi1l be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened, C) The construction limits will be clearly marked and area protected from sedimentation and siltation utilizing silt fencing, barricades, and other Best Management Practices, D) Hydrology to the existing wetlands will be maintained to the extent feasible, Stormwater wi1l be utilized to support the hydrology to Area "C" and "0" as we1l, The contractors wi1l be held responsible for unauthorized wetland damage not permitted according to plans and specifications, Preconstruction meetings sha1l be held if necessary with representatives of the USACE and the NCDWQ, THREA TENED AN ENDANGERED SPECIES Federa1ly 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 fu1l sun characteristic of successional fields, margins, and forested openings, A review of USGS (Weddington Quad) Maps at the Natural Heritage Program at NCDEHNR in Raleigh did not indicate any endangered species previously identified on the site, Since Schweinitz's sunflower is known to occur in Iredell soils, the site was surveyed, According to the survey, Schweinitz's sunflower and it's habitat was not identified, The Carolina heelsplitter is a freshwater mussel which prefers shaded areas either in a ponded portion of a sma1l stream or in runs along steep banks with moderate current. Primary habitat are waters less than three feet deep with a soft mud, muddy sand, or shady grave1ly substrate, It is norma1ly restricted to protected silted areas or under banks especia1ly 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, Therefore it is not expected to occur on this site, Mr. Steve Lund - USACE, Mr. John R. Dorney, Mr. Mike Parker - NCDWQ Water Quality Planning Request for NWP 26 Page 4, November 2, 1996 CULTURAL RESOURCES The project site very disturbed from clearcuttiing, grading, and agricultural actiVIties and is in early succession with pockets offorested areas in the central portion of the site in secondary succession, There are no indications of any existing structures on the project site or adjacent areas, The Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and the Survey and Planning Branch (SPB) of the NC Department of Cultural Resources - State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was visited to review existing mapping on the USGS Quad maps, if any, The purpose of this review was to determine if there was previously identified sites in the project area, Based on the review of the maps at the OSA and at the SPB, no previously identified or surveyed sites are currently indicated on the maps within the project area, AOUATlC HABITAT The aquatic systems in the project area consist of headwater wetlands and intermittent tributaries of McAlpine 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, 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, CONCLUSION The goal of the site plan to help balance the environmental consequences of this development by preserving the highest value Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S, remaining on the site, The undisturbed wetland areas will be preserved by the applicant or by a group designated by the owner for this purpose, Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional explanation, I would be more than happy to meet with you at the site at your earliest convenience at the site, if necessary, Thank you for your consideration, cc: Mr, Michael Hinshaw Hinshaw Development Company 42S-A South Sharon Amity Road Charlotte, NC 28211 (704) - 362 ~ 0010 c/o Mr. Marc Houle Yarbrough-Williams & Associates, Jnc, 730 Windsor Oak Court Charlotte, NC 28273 .'~75 " ,/ - ,...... . ~0 ~ /--. -y,"I'< <s , ------ ':\, ":;--/ ~~:; ,. -' ::;, .' ,- , 1--" '''- , '. i.~6 i r ')' i (' , ',l,,c. ::.J' \..~~-<) . r ....~ ,~-' ~~. ~.......

L.L.C. - Request for NWP 26 and 14 - + 55 Acre Single Family Residential Site. Mecklenburg County. North Carolina Dear Ms, Nicholls: On behalf of my client, Mr, Mike Hinshaw, of Hinshaw Properties, L.L.c., Charlotte, North Carolina, 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 will be necessary in the near future to apply for Section 404 Nationwide Permits, A review of USGS Maps at the Natural Heritage Program at NCDEHNR in Raleigh, did not indicate any endangered species previously identified on the site, The site is currently in old field succession and secondary succession, Based on my experience the site did not appear to have the habitat conducive to the presence of Schweinitz's sunflower, I have included for your use a copy of the portion of the USGS Quad Map, and a soils map created from the SCS Soil Survey for your review, The site was surveyed by HARP (Dr, Jim Matthews and John 1. Soule) and no populations were found, Their report is attached, I 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, nar S, Rindner, PWS Environmental Planning Consultant NC Landscape Architect #578 cc: Mr, Michael Hinshaw Hinshaw Development Company 425-A South Sharon Amity Road Charlotte, NC 28211 (704) - 362 - 0010 c/o Mr. Marc Houle Yarbrough-Williams & Associates, Inc, 730 Windsor Oak Court Charlotte, NC 28273 HABITAT ASSESSMENT AND RESTORA TION PROGRAM ---------- JAMES F.

Rindner Landscape Architect and Environmental Planner 7113 Hickory Nut Dr. Raleigh, NC 27613 RE: Providence Rd. West, Marvin Rd. and U.S. 521. Dear Len: We have surveyed all the open areas and other potential habitats on the property bounded by Providence Rd. West, Marvin Rd. and the realigned U.S. 521. for the presence of the following: Schweinitz's sunflower, Helianthus schweinitzii, the Georgia aster, Aster georgianus, Nestronia, Nestronia umbellula, Heller's trefoil, Lotus helleri and the Tall larkspur, Delphinium exaltatum. The survey work was done on Aug. 20, when the species could be identified easily. There are four soil types on the site, Vance, Helena, Appling and Monacan.. None of these soil types are significant in the support of Schweinitz's sunflower. The open fields are in heavy secondary succession, the remnant hardwood/pine forest and fence rows are heavily overgrown with weedy species following disturbance. The floodplain is also disturbed, the vegetation is primarily weedy herbaceous species and shrubs. No populations of the above species were noted during the field survey. If you have any questions regarding the survey, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, o ~ 1feu_~- ~ F.
