Dear Mr. Reeve:
MAY 0 4 2004
WATER QUALITY SECTION
On March 24, 2004, the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a General 401
Water Quality Certification for the Skycroft Development in Union County.
On April 15, 2004, Mr. Alan Johnson with this office conducted a site inspection at the subject site. During
the site visit it was noted that aquatic biota was observed.in the stream channel identified as intermittent (sheet
B) on your Pre-Construction Notification form. Because of the presence of aquatic species, mitigation will be
required for the impacts (#5 and #6) to this channel as well as for impacts #2 and #3 in the channel identified
as perennial. The total linear feet (if) of channel to be mitigated is 297 ft. Per Mr. Chris Huysman, it is this
office's understanding that an application will be submitted to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for
payment into the mitigation fund.
In addition to the above, Mr. Johnson requested that the impact to the channel that passes through lot 181
be reduced from the current 92 If to approximately 35 If. Until the DWQ is notified that the EEP will accept
payment for the impacts and the information requested in this letter is provided, this office is requesting (by
copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on
hold for our processing pursuant-to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(h).
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Alan
Johnson at [phone] or Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at [phone].

10800 Sikes Place, Suite 250
Charlotte, NC, 28277 MATER (QUALITY SECTION
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions,
Ecosystem Enhancement Program
Dear Mr. Reeve:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 297
linear feet (If) of unnamed stream to Twelve Mile Creek in order to construct the Skycroft Subdivision in Union
County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on March 24, 2004.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General
Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The
General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACOE). Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits
before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the USACOE's associated 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you
described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be
required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be
given a copy of the Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification, as well as the
additional conditions listed below:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in
place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample
deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401 /Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.
2. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are
not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing
stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent
head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream
grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and
re-installed correctly.

3. Stormwater discharge points shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential receiving streams (of
the discharge) at the site will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion of the
stream banks.
4. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best
management Practices (BMP) shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
5. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect
surface water standards:
a. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
b. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface
Mining Manual.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
6. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
7. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) in order
to compensate for the impacts to streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R.0402 and 15A NCAC 2B
.0242(7), this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to:

Certification to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the fill of 297 linear
feet of perennial streams in the Catawba River Basin (Cataloging Unit 03050103) and 297 linear feet of
stream mitigation is required.
8. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401NVetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the
project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct
installation along with the Certificate of Completion form.
9. Continuing Compliance. Graham PC Investments, LLC shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with
state water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the
Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines that
such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or
that state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,
DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with
such standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the
certification, DWQ shall notify Graham PC Investments and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public
notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to Graham PC Investments in writing,

Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants, Inc. is requesting authorization for impacts to
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. associated with the construction of subdivision road and an
aesthetics pond under Nationwide Permits 39 for Graham PC Investments, LLC.
Proposed Impacts
Impacts for the project include 145 linear feet of perennial streams and 1039 linear feet of
intermittent / un-important streams; the COE verified these determinations on January 21, 2004.
Additional impacts to 0.02 acres of wetlands and 0.04 acres of open water are sought for the
purpose of constructing lots. Perennial stream impacts are limited to road crossings and driveway
crossings; the current design uses headwalls to eliminate side-slope fills. Intermittent stream
impacts include 795 linear feet for a pond, 152 linear feet for a road crossing and 92 linear feet
for a single lot. Impacts are described and illustrated in the attached PCN and maps.
Mitigation
Impacts to perennial streams are assessed to be minimal due to the construction methodologies.
The proposed mitigative measures include 1) the preservation of over 3500 linear feet of streams,
2) the preservation of over 1 acre of wetlands, 3) the preservation of over 2 acres of open water,
4) the creation of over 5 acres of ponds and 5) the creation of over 0.5 acres of littoral wetlands
within amenity ponds.
Please call with questions or to discuss the project in further detail.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
