The proposed thoroughfare is located in Cary, approximately 11oo feet east of the current intersection of Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) and Green Level Church Road (SR 16oo) (see attached USGS Quadrangle). The project is a realignment of the two roads to make a more traditional crossroads. The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and contains un-named tributaries to Panther Creek. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2oo6, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be'un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2oo6 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: o6003). On February 10, 2oo6, a pre- application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed 'Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. Therefore, the roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03030004. The Water Quality classification is WS-IV; NSW, stream index 16-41-1-17-3• The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant/intermittent stream channel impact and 10,585 square feet (ftz) of jurisdictional wetland impact. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adjacent tributary and the side slopes were steepened to further minimize impact to the stream channel.

Because the wetland impacts exceed o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the acceptance letter from the NC-EEP is included with the attachments. We do not believe that mitigation should be required for impacts to the stream channels because it was determined that the proposed impacts are to an un- important/intermittent stream channel.

If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe pennits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. Previous segments of Green Level to Durham Road may have required 404/401 pen-nits; however, Withers & Ravenel was not involved with the permitting for these segments. Pre-application meetings were conducted with Mr. Monte Matthews of tile USACE on December 9, 2005 and on February 10, 2006. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2006, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Natthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intenmittent/perennial stream detennination on February 1, 2006 and detennined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: 06003). On February 10, 2006, a pre-application meeting was held with the USAGE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During, this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. The roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. N/A VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project.

Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USAGE. NA 8. 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 stormwater requirement, etc.): NA Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: 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. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adiacent tributarv and the side slopes were steepened and headwalls were added to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Page 5 of 9 Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the nronosed alianment. VIII. 1\Iitigation 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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/stnngide.litm 1. 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 construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because the impacts exceed 0.1 acres of wetlands the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A cony of the EEP acceptance letter is included with the attachments. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to detennine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

NA XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: A majority of the area has already been developed and currently has roadfront access, therefore, we do not believe that this project will degrade downstream water quality. The project is the re- alignment of an intersection in order to make it safer for automotive traffic and is not expected to brim additional growth to the area outside of what would normally occur. During construction the applicant will employ the appropriate BMP devices in order to protect downstream water quality. Page 8 of 9 XV. 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 pennits. 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).

First and foremost, please note that Green Level to Durham Road as well as Morrisville Parkway extensions will be permitted as Town of Cary projects since both are included with Town's thoroughfare plan and construction costs are being reimbursed by the Town. Green Level to Durham road and Morrisville Parkway are classified as major thoroughfares with design speeds of 50 mph which must meet NCDOT design requirements since they will be maintained by NCDOT. Wetlands and riparian buffers were taken into account during preliminary design but because of the horizontal and vertical design requirements, we have limited flexibility with adjusting the road design in order to completely avoid impacts. In addition, the new alignment for Green Level to Durham road had to be coordinated with the Morrisville Parkway alignment and NCDOT intersection criteria had to be maintained. However, we were able to make revisions and adjustments in other areas to minimize impacts. Please note that we met with Todd Tugwell with USACE and Eric Kulz with NCDWQ several months ago to discuss the proposed alignments and address any USACE concerns. The Town of Cary staff and their consultant, URS, were also in attendance as the Town had prepared the alignment study and, subsequently, the proposed alignment for Morrisville Parkway. Based on USACE & NCDWQ comments during the meeting, we shifted Green Level to Durham road to the east in order to avoid and minimize the impacts of the confluence of two stream channels just to the west. In addition we revised the fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1 and added headwalls to minimize the length of channel impacts. Lastly, it is important to note that we also met with Monte Matthews on December 9, 2005 to discuss all of the proposed wetland impacts associated with Gabel Farms including the Green Level to Durham Road and Morrisville Parkway impacts and assured Mr. Matthrews that we have made every effort to minimize impacts. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. ,., AA-v.- n.i- r- hi-+k r-ii- -- *.I.- ,.4n -- f--^ .4, f-Q ....... O WATF9 Michael F.

The proposed thoroughfare is located in Cary, approximately 11oo feet east of the current intersection of Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) and Green Level Church Road (SR 16oo) (see attached USGS Quadrangle). The project is a realignment of the two roads to make a more traditional crossroads. The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and contains un-named tributaries to Panther Creek. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2oo6, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2oo6 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: o6o03). On February 10, 2oo6, a pre- application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. Therefore, the roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03030004. The Water Quality classification is WS-IV; NSW, stream index 16-41-1-17-3. The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant/intermittent stream channel impact and 10,585 square feet (ft2) of jurisdictional wetland impact. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adjacent tributary and the side slopes were steepened to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer ill MacKenan Drive i Cary, NC 27511 1 tel: 919.469.3340 1 fax: 919.467.6oo8 i www.withersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Avenue i Suite 1o1 i Wilmington, NC 28403 1 tel: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 1027 Sabbath Home Rd, SW i Supply, NC 28462 1 tel: 91o.842.9392 i fax: 91o.842.8019 detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed alignment. Because the wetland impacts exceed o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the acceptance letter from the NC-EEP is included with the attachments. We do not believe that mitigation should be required for impacts to the stream channels because it was determined that the proposed impacts are to an un- important/intermittent stream channel. Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, WITHERS &-RAVENEL, INC.

Previous segments of Green Level to Durham Road may have 404/401 permits; however, Withers & Ravenel was not involved with the pennitting for these segments. Pre-application meetings were conducted with Mr. Monte Matthews of tile USACE on December 9, 2005 and on February 10, 2006. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2006, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance detennination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an internittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2006 and determined that the stream is internittent (IPRRO#: 06003). On February 10, 2006, a pre-application meeting was held with the USACE`and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility?(i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. The roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. N/A VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be Page 3 of 9 listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant stream impact and 10,585square feet of jurisdictional wetland impact. 2.

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. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce imnacts to an adiacent tributarv and the side slopes were steepened and headwalls were added to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Page 5 of 9 Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer detailing; our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed ali Tnn? ?cnt. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 211 .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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 http://112o.cili*.state.nc.us/iiewet]ands/stnn,i,,idc.liti-n1. 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 construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because the impacts exceed 0.1 acres of wetlands the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the EEP acceptance letter is included with the attachments. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.

First and foremost, please note that Green Level to Durham Road as well as Morrisville Parkway extensions will be permitted as Town of Cary projects since both are included with Town's thoroughfare plan and construction costs are being reimbursed by the Town. Green Level to Durham road and Morrisville Parkway are classified as major thoroughfares withdesign speeds of 50 mph which must meet NCDOT design requirements since they will be maintained by NCDOT. Wetlands and riparian buffers were taken into account during preliminary design but because of the horizontal and vertical design requirements, we have limited flexibility with adjusting the road design in order to completely avoid impacts. In addition, the new alignment for Green Level to Durham road had to be coordinated with the Morrisville Parkway alignment and NCDOT intersection criteria had to be maintained. However, we were able to make revisions and adjustments in other areas to minimize impacts. Please note that we met with Todd Tugwell with USACE and Eric Kulz with NCDWQ several months ago to discuss the proposed alignments and address any USACE concerns. The Town of Cary staff and their consultant, URS, were also in attendance as the Town had prepared the alignment study and, subsequently, the proposed alignment for Morrisville Parkway. Based on USACE & NCDWQ comments during the meeting, we shifted Green Level to Durham road to the east in order to avoid and minimize the impacts of the confluence of two stream channels just to the west. In addition we revised the fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1 and added headwalls to minimize the length of channel impacts. Lastly, it is important to note that we also met with Monte Matthews on December 9, 2005 to discuss all of the proposed wetland impacts associated with Gabel Farms including the Green Level to Durham Road and Morrisville Parkway impacts and assured Mr. Matthrews that we have made every effort to minimize impacts.

The proposed thoroughfare is located in Cary, approximately 11oo feet east of the current intersection of Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) and Green Level Church Road (SR 16oo) (see attached USGS Quadrangle). The project is a realignment of the two roads to make a more traditional crossroads. The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and contains un-named tributaries to Panther Creek. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2oo6, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be'un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2oo6 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: o6003). On February 10, 2oo6, a pre- application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed 'Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. Therefore, the roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03030004. The Water Quality classification is WS-IV; NSW, stream index 16-41-1-17-3. The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant/intermittent stream channel impact and 10,585 square feet (ftz) of jurisdictional wetland impact. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adjacent tributary and the side slopes were steepened to further minimize impact to the stream channel.

Because the wetland impacts exceed o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the acceptance letter from the NC-EEP is included with the attachments. We do not believe that mitigation should be required for impacts to the stream channels because it was determined that the proposed impacts are to an un- important/intermittent stream channel.

Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. NA 8. 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 stonnwater requirement, etc.): NA Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: 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. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adiacent tributarv and the side slopes were steepened and headwalls were added to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Page 5 of 9 Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed alignment. 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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 littp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/iicwetian(is/stnngide.litml. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much infornation 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 construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because the impacts exceed 0.1 acres of wetlands the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the EEP acceptance letter is included with the attachments. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: A majority of the area has already been developed and currently has roadfront access, therefore, we do not believe that this project will degrade downstream water quality. The project is the re- alignment of an intersection in order to make it safer for automotive traffic and is not expected to bring additional growth to the area outside of what would normally occur. During construction the applicant will employ the appropriate BMP devices in order to protect downstream water quality. Page 8 of 9 XV. 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). 1 3 Zz -Zao6 Ite provided.)

First and foremost, please note that Green Level to Durham Road as well as Morrisville Parkway extensions will be permitted as Town of Cary projects since both are included with Town's thoroughfare plan and construction costs are being reimbursed by the Town. Green Level to Durham road and Morrisville Parkway are classified as major thoroughfares with design speeds of 50 mph which must meet NCDOT design requirements since they will be maintained by NCDOT. Wetlands and riparian buffers were taken into account during preliminary design but because of the horizontal and vertical design requirements, we have limited flexibility with adjusting the road design in order to completely avoid impacts. In addition, the new alignment for Green Level to Durham road had to be coordinated with the Morrisville Parkway alignment and NCDOT intersection criteria had to be maintained. However, we were able to make revisions and adjustments in other areas to minimize impacts. Please note that we met with Todd Tugwel) with USACE and Eric Kulz with NCDWQ several months ago to discuss the proposed alignments and address any USACE concerns. The Town of Cary staff and their consultant, URS, were also in attendance as the Town had prepared the alignment study and, subsequently, the proposed alignment for Morrisville Parkway. Based on USACE & NCDWQ comments during the meeting, we shifted Green Level to Durham road to the east in order to avoid and minimize the impacts of the confluence of two stream channels just to the west. In addition we revised the fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1 and added headwalls to minimize the length of channel impacts. Lastly, it is important to note that we also met with Monte Matthews on December 9, 2005 to discuss all of the proposed wetland impacts associated with Gabel Farms including the Green Level to Durham Road and Morrisville Parkway impacts and assured Mr. Matthrews that we have made every effort to minimize impacts.

The proposed thoroughfare is located in Cary, approximately 11oo feet east of the current intersection of Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) and Green Level Church Road (SR 16oo) (see attached USGS Quadrangle). The project is a realignment of the two roads to make a more traditional crossroads. The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and contains un-named tributaries to Panther Creek. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2oo6, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be'un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2oo6 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: o6003). On February 10, 2oo6, a pre- application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed 'Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. Therefore, the roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03030004. The Water Quality classification is WS-IV; NSW, stream index 16-41-1-17-3• The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant/intermittent stream channel impact and 10,585 square feet (ft2) of jurisdictional wetland impact. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adjacent tributary and the side slopes were steepened to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer iii MacKenan Drive i Cary, NC 27511 1 tel: 919.469.3340 1 fax: 919.467.6oo8 i www.withersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Avenue i Suite 1o1 i Wilmington, NC 28403 1 tel: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 1027 Sabbath Home Rd, SW i Supply, NC 28462 1 tel: 910.842.9392 1 fax: 910.842.8o19 detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed alignment. Because the wetland impacts exceed o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the acceptance letter from the NC-EEP is included with the attachments. We do not believe that mitigation should be required for impacts to the stream channels because it was determined that the proposed impacts are to an un- important/intermittent stream channel.

Prior Project History If jurisdictional detenninations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued pennits, certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe pennits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. Previous segments of Green Level to Durham Road may have required 404/401 pen-nits; however, Withers & Ravenel was not involved with the permitting for these segments. Pre-application meetings were conducted with Mr. Monte Matthews of the USACE on December 9, 2005 and on February 10, 2006. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2006, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance detennination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intennittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2006 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: 06003). On February 10, 2006, a pre-application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss pennitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility_(i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. The roadway impacts will not be considered_ cumulatively with the adjacent development. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. N/A VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project.

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. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adiacent tributarv and the side slopes were steepened and headwalls were added to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Page 5 of 9 Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed ali nng icnt. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1 .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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 http://li2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strm,gide.litinl. 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 construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because the impacts exceed 0.1 acres of wetlands the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the EEP acceptance letter is included with the attachments. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2 o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwctlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: A majority of the area has already been developed and currently has roadfront access, therefore, we do not believe that this project will degrade downstream water quality. The project is the re- alignment of an intersection in order to make it safer for automotive traffic and is not expected to bring additional growth to the area outside of what would normally occur. During construction the applicant will employ the appropriate BMP devices in order to protect downstream water quality. Page 8 of 9 XV. 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). 2Z - tlpplicatlt/Agent s Sigltatll e 0 D Ite (Agent's signature is valid only if an a ization letter from the applicant s provided.)

First and foremost, please note that Green Level to Durham Road as well as Morrisville Parkway extensions will be permitted as Town of Cary projects since both are included with Town's thoroughfare plan and construction costs are being reimbursed by the Town. Green Level to Durham road and Morrisville Parkway are classified as major thoroughfares with design speeds of 50 mph which must meet NCDOT design requirements since they will be maintained by NCDOT. Wetlands and riparian buffers were taken into account during preliminary design but because of the horizontal and vertical design requirements, we have limited flexibility with adjusting the road design in order to completely avoid impacts. In addition, the new alignment for Green Level to Durham road had to be coordinated with the Morrisville Parkway alignment and NCDOT intersection criteria had to be maintained. However, we were able to make revisions and adjustments in other areas to minimize impacts. Please note that we met with Todd Tugwell with USACE and Eric Kulz with NCDWQ several months ago to discuss the proposed alignments and address any USACE concerns. The Town of Cary staff and their consultant, URS, were also in attendance as the Town had prepared the alignment study and, subsequently, the proposed alignment for Morrisville Parkway. Based on USACE & NCDWQ comments during the meeting, we shifted Green Level to Durham road to the east in order to avoid and minimize the impacts of the confluence of two stream channels just to the west. In addition we revised the fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1 and added headwalls to minimize the length of channel impacts. Lastly, it is important to note that we also met with Monte Matthews on December 9, 2005 to discuss all of the proposed wetland impacts associated with Gabel Farms including the Green Level to Durham Road and Morrisville Parkway impacts and assured Mr. Matthrews that we have made every effort to minimize impacts.

The proposed thoroughfare is located in Cary, approximately 110o feet east of the current intersection of Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) and Green Level Church Road (SR 1600) (see attached USGS Quadrangle). The project is a realignment of the two roads to make a more traditional crossroads. The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and contains un-named tributaries to Panther Creek. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2oo6, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be 'un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2oo6 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: 06003). On February 10, 2oo6, a pre- application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed 'Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. Therefore, the roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03030004. The Water Quality classification is WS-IV; NSW, stream index 16-41-1-17-3. The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant/intermittent stream channel impact and 10,585 square feet (ft2) of jurisdictional wetland impact. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adjacent tributary and the side slopes were steepened to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer iii MacKenan Drive i Cary, NC 27511 1 tel: 919.469.3340 1 fax: 919.467.6008 i www.withersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Avenue i Suite 101 i Wilmington, NC 28403 1 tel: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 1r27 Sabbath Home Rd, SW i Supply, NC 28462 1 tel: 910.842.9392 1 fax: 910.842.8019 detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed alignment. Because the wetland impacts exceed o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the acceptance letter from the NC-EEP is included with the attachments. We do not believe that mitigation should be required for impacts to the stream channels because it was determined that the proposed impacts are to an un- important/intermittent stream channel. Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, WITHERS &RAVENEL, INC.

Previous segments of Green Level to Durham Road may lave required 404/401 permits; however, Withers & Ravenel was not involved with the permitting for these segments. Pre-application meetings were conducted with Mr. Monte Matthews of the USACE on December 9, 2005 and on February 10, 2006. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2006, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intennittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2006 and determined that the stream is intennittent (IPRRO#: 06003). On February 10, 2006, a pre-application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. The roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. N/A VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be Page 3 of 9 listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1.

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 stormwater requirement, etc.): NA Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: 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. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adiacent tributarv and the side slopes were steepened and headwalls were added to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Page 5 of 9 Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed alignment. 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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 littp://h2o.eiir.state.ne.us/iicwetIands/stnii.p,ide.htm1. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much infonnation 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 construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because the impacts exceed 0.1 acres of wetlands the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A cony of the EEP acceptance letter is included with the attachments. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to detennine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

First and foremost, please note that Green Level to Durham Road as well as Morrisville Parkway extensions will be permitted as Town of Cary projects since both are included with Town's thoroughfare plan and construction costs are being reimbursed by the Town. Green Level to Durham road and Morrisville Parkway are classified as major thoroughfares with'design speeds of 50 mph which must meet NCDOT design requirements since they will be maintained by NCDOT. Wetlands and riparian buffers were taken into account during preliminary design but because of the Horizontal and vertical design requirements, we have limited flexibility with adjusting the road design in order to completely avoid impacts. In addition, the new alignment for Green Level to Durham road had to be coordinated with the Morrisville Parkway alignment and NCDOT intersection criteria had to be maintained. However, we were able to make revisions and adjustments in other areas to minimize impacts. Please note that we met with Todd Tugwell with USACE and Eric Kulz with NCDWQ several months ago to discuss the proposed alignments and address any USACE concerns. The Town of Cary staff and their consultant, URS, were also in attendance as the Town had prepared the alignment study and, subsequently, the proposed alignment for Morrisville Parkway. Based on USACE & NCDWQ comments during the meeting, we shifted Green Level to Durham road to the east in order to avoid and minimize the impacts of the confluence of two stream channels just to the west. In addition we revised the fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1 and added headwalls to minimize the length of channel impacts. Lastly, it is important to note that we also met with Monte Matthews on December 9, 2005 to discuss all of the proposed wetland impacts associated with Gabel Farms including the Green Level to Durham Road and Morrisville Parkway impacts and assured Mr. Matthrews that we have made every effort to minimize impacts.
