Dear Mr. Bailey:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.025
acres of wetlands, 0.24 acres of waters and 240 linear feet of streams for the purpose of upgrading
Green Level to Durham Road in Cary, NC as you described in your application dated February 26,
2003 (received March 20, 2003). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which may be viewed on our website at
http://h2o.enr. state. nc. us/ncwetlands. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number 39
when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA 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
except as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to
send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this
Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the
corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For
this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed

RE: Nationwide Permit 39/401 Water Quality Certification
Green Level to Durham Road Widening
Cary, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Wade and Mr. Dorney,
We hereby request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use
Nationwide Permit 39 to cover impacts to stream channels, jurisdictional wetlands, and
ponds (see attached overall map). We also request written concurrence from the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NC-DWQ) that the project complies with the 401
Water Quality Certifications associated with Nationwide Permit 39. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached.
The proposed project consists of impacts resulting from road improvements to Green
Level to Durham Road, specifically; the existing gravel road will be widened and paved
with asphalt. The existing unpaved Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) is located
south of the intersection of Green Level to Durham Road and Carpenter Fire Station
Road (SR 1625) and approximately 2500 feet north of the intersection with Green Level
to Durham Road and Green Level Church Road (SR 1600). The proposed project
extends approximately 4,400 feet in length. Please refer to the attached USGS map,
which displays the location of the proposed project.
S&EC conducted a detailed wetland delineation and buffer evaluation on the property on
February 4, 2003, prior to site plan development in order to determine the extent of
wetland impacts. The proposed road widening will permanently impact a total of 240
linear feet of perennial stream channels, 0.025 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, and 0.24
acres of open water. These impacts are elaborated upon within the attached PCN form
and are shown on the attached inset impact maps.
The proposed road widening is needed to provide an adequate thoroughfare to the
surrounding area. The existing road is located near the confluence of two perennial
channels (Panther Creek and an unnamed tributary to Panther Creek). In order to widen
the existing road, it will be necessary to replace the existing culverts and extend the new
culverts to accommodate the roadway cross section. In addition, the road will also
impact 0.025 acres of wetlands.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation
to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements
for notification (0.10 acre). Because the road is located between an existing pond and the
confluence of two streams, impacts to these features are unavoidable. If the USACE
requires mitigation for this project, we propose payment to the Wetlands Restoration
Program. We have forwarded a copy of this application and a request for mitigation
payment to the Wetlands Restoration Program.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires written concurrence for stream impacts of greater or
equal to 150 linear feet of stream length per project. We request written concurrence that
the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide
Pennit 39. NC-DWQ's current policy requires wctland or stream mitigation for perennial
stream channel impacts above 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because impacts
exceed 150 feet, we proposed to satisfy mitigation requirements through payment to
WRP. As stated above, a copy of this application and our request for mitigation
payments has been forwarded to WRP for review. The additional impervious surface is
minimal, however stormwater management in accordance with the standard BMPs is
expected to protect wetlands and waters downstream of the project.
Please call if you require any additional information or have any questions.
Sincerely,
Town of Cary

Page 4 of 8
5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): NA
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local storniwater requirement, etc.): NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The proposed road wideniniz is needed to provide an adequate thoroughfare to the surrounding
area. Because the confluence of two perennial channels (Panther Creek and an unnamed tributary
to Panther Creek) exists approximately 25 feet east of the existing road, impacts to these
channels and pond, adjacent to the road to the west, are unavoidable in order to pave and widen
the existing road. Wetland impacts 2A and 2B are unavoidable because of their close proximity
to the existing gravel road, however, the total proposed impacts consist of only 0.025 acres of
wetlands.
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
Pennits, 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 detennining 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
Page 5 of 8
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, er liancing, 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 sliall 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
httn://h"o.enr.state.me.us/ncwctlands/sti-m<,i(le.litml.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of constriction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Mitigation requirements will be satisfied by payment into the Wetland Restoration
Pro cram.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to detennine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wrh/index.litm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following infornlation:

Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
