APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions,
Wetland Restoration Program
Dear Mr. Herbert:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 0.047 acre of wetlands,
0.018 acre of waters, and 292 linear feet of intermittent streams and temporary fill in 41 linear feet of intermittent streams in
order to construct the proposed Morgan Creek Subdivision in Wake County, as described in your revised application
received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on November 3, 2003 and in additional correspondence received
December 17, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Numbers 3374 and 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 and 39 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will
expire when the accompanying 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. 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). 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. 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;
The Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting that will
occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert);
Use of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of
rip rap or other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless
specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality;
2. 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 Pre-construction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur;

3. 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 that the Division of Land Resources has released the
project;
4. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective
buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in
place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and
Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.
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 waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
6. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form to
notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall
complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands 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.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the. Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Steve Mitchell in the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700 or Cyndi Karoly in the

To Whom It May Concern:
On August 15, 2003 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application regarding
your plan to fill wetlands or waters for the purpose of residential subdivision construction in Wake County.
Approval from DWQ is required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following information and
refer to the DWQ # listed above in your reply. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100
feet) so we can begin to determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500.
1. Please show all stream impacts including all fill slopes, dissipaters, and bank stabilization on the site
plan.
2. This Office believes that the impacts labeled on the plans as impacts numbers 2, 5, 6, and 7 can be
moved or reconfigured to minimize the impacts. Please revise the plans to avoid these impacts.
3. Compensatory stream mitigation maybe required for this project. A field review by DWQ staff will
be needed to make this determination. Also, staff will need to determine if features labeled as "linear
wetlands" are streams.
Please telephone Todd St. John at 919-733-9584 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules
or procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H
.0505(c). The processing time for this application will begin when this information is received. If we do not
hear from you by writing or by fax at [phone] within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer want
to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.

Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Dorney:
This letter is in response to your letter dated September 30, 2003 (copy attached), which
requested additional information for the proposed Morgan Creek Subdivision. The
following restates your questions as shown on your letter and then provides our response.
1. Please show all stream impacts including all fill slopes, dissipaters, and bank
stabilization on the site plan.
All stream impacts are shown on the attached impact maps. The enlargements show
the impacts on a 1:100 scale and show dissipaters, bank stabilization, etc. The sewer
line shown crossing the streams downstream of impacts 3 and 4 exists from Holland
Road to Angier Road so the impacts are not given.
2. This office believes that the impacts labeled on the plans as impact numbers 2, S,
6, and 7 can be moved or reconfigured to minimize impacts. Please revise the
plans to avoid these impacts.
Impacts previously proposed and labeled as impacts 5 and 6 have been removed and
avoided completely.
The impact labeled Impact 2 is an impact proposed to a linear wetland, which divides
lots 30, 31, and 32 and essentially makes them unbuildable. The main floodplain of
the perennial stream that this linear wetland flows into has been avoided completely

and a riparian buffer has been laced on the stream not required because uoi iii the
i p {
Tar-Pam orlNeuse River Basin). Lots have been platted outside of the perennial
stream's riparian buffers.
The impact that is proposed at Impact 7 cannot be avoided but has been reduced to
only 84 Linl ar Feet. This road crossing is required in order to access the portion of
property east of Angier Road and west of the stream channel. As per the project
engineer, an extra entrance can not be added to Angier Road to access this portion of
the property because it will be too close to the access road shown and is considered to
be an unsafe distance from the proposed road by the NCDOT. Likewise a small
access road can not be placed off of the proposed entrance road prior to the creek
crossing be'?ause it is also to close to the main intersection and will be considered an
unsafe distance to the intersection with Angier Road.
3. Compensatory stream mitigation maybe required for this project. A field review
by DWQ staff will be needed to make this determination. Also, staff will need to
determine iffeatures labeled as "linear wetlands" are streams.
The USACF has reviewed the site and determined that the streams being impacted are
importantl' and therefore require mitigation. A preliminary acceptance request has
been sent to the NC-WRP requesting mitigation for the proposed impacts. Because
mitigation is being proposed there should be no reason for DWQ staff to make a
"perennial's determination on the streams.
The features labeled "linear wetlands" on the attached impact map were determined to
be such during a site meeting with the USAGE. Additionally, neither, section 401 of
the Clean Water Act nor any other state or federal legislation delegates authority to
the state t°I make jurisdictional determinations or to determine whether or not a
feature is a channel or a wetland. For this reason no field review by DWQ staff
should be ?equired.
Please call or email me at SClarkna,SandEC.com if you have any questions or require
further explanation.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark

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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must 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.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The proposed impacts result
from crossing two "important" stream channels with roads and a sewer line to provide
access/service to all portions of the site. Also the upper portion of an existing farm pond will
be filled due to road construction. A linear wetland is also proposed to be filled to add three
additional lots that would have otherwise been divided in half by the wetland and therefore
unusable. The details of the impacts are listed in the tables below.
2. Individually list wetland impacts below:

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap,
dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usgs.gov. Several intemet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mapquest.com, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: 333 LF (292 LF
permanent)

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Page 5 of 9
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
Prior to subdivision planning, a detailed wetland delineation was conducted by S & EC in an
effort to minimize impacts. The site plan was designed to avoid the large perennial stream
channel onsite. Stream buffers were also added to the subdivision design even though the
subdivision is not presently within a DWO buffered watershed The site plan has been
redesigned to avoid crossing on of the stream channels twice Impacts 3 and 7 on the attached
impact maps are on the same stream channel. This channel has to be crossed twice in order to
access the portion of the property immediately adjacent to Angier Road. An Additional
subdivision entrance can not be located off of Angier Road to access this portion of the propert
y
because it would create an unsafe case of two streets being too close to one another on a major
thoroughfare road. Impacts have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable and those
impacts proposed have been minimized as much as possible.
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
Page 6 of 9
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngLide.html.
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.
Payment to the NC WRP is proposed for the 292 LF of stream impact.
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 determine 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.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 292
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
Page 7 of 9
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 N/A 3 N/A
2 N/A 1.5 N/A
Total N/A N/A
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B.0242 or.0260.
N/A The site is in the Cape Fear Basin.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
Page 8 of 9
The impervious surface on the proposed project will be 26.5 %. Because the impervious surface
is less that 30% we believe that a pre approved storm water plan will not be necessary.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Sanitary sewer service will serve the proposed subdivision.
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. 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).

Applicant/Agent's Signature Date

Page 9 of 13
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 haw impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction, to reduce impacts.
Prior to subdivision planning, a detailed wetland delineation was conducted by. S & EC in an
effort to minimize inn acts. Stream impacts were designed only on the intermittent channels on
pMerty and not on the perennial channel on-site. Stream buffers were also added to the
subdivision design even though the subdivision is not presently within. a DWQ buffered
watershed.
V111. 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.
USAGE - 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 USAGE 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
httn•//h2o.enr.s aate..ne.us/ncwetlands/st -m,?ide.litinl.
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 l=ktion (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
Page 10 of 1.3
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
In the ast impacts to intermittent strearris_have not required mitigation, therefore we do
not believe that mitigation will be r uired. Stream buffers were desi ed into the ro osed
subdivision plan to minimize the impact to the streams on-site. ___---
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 determine 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.enx,state.nc.us/wM/index.litm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

RE: Request For Nationwide Permits 12 and 39, and 401- Water Quality Certification
Morgan Creek Subdivision
Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 03-7740
Dear Ms. Wade and Mr. Dorney,
On behalf of Rhein Interests Inc. (property owner), we hereby request authorization from
the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) to use Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed
permanent impacts to two intermittent streams and wetlands resulting from road
crossings and general lot fill and Nationwide Permit 12 for proposed temporary impacts
to an intermittent stream and wetlands resulting from a sewer line. In addition, we
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 NWP 39 and NWP 12. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is
attached, as well as an agent authorization form.
The site is located south of the town of Fuquay-Varina, specifically southeast of the
intersection of Angier Road (SR 2770) and Judd Parkway (SR 2768). The site is bordered
to the northwest by Holland Road (SR 2767). The surrounding area is currently
residential agricultural farm use. Please refer to the attached USGS map, which displays
the location of the proposed project.
The proposed project consists of impacts resulting from the construction of a 184 lot
subdivision that includes road crossings, lot fill and a sewer line crossing. The proposed
road crossings will result in permanent impacts to 572 linear feet of intermittent stream
channel and 395 ft2 (.009) of jurisdictional wetlands. The sewer crossing will temporarily
impact 41 linear feet of intermittent stream channel and 1,185 ft2 (.027 acres) of

jurisdictional wetlands. 1,021 ft2 (.023 acres) of jurisdictional wetlands will be filled. A
proposed road will also result in 7840 ft 2 (.18 acres) of jurisdictional pond being filled.
S&EC performed a detailed delineation on March 24 and 25, 2003 at request of the client
to minimize impacts. Impacts to perennial stream channels were avoided completely.
Stream buffers were also added to the subdivision design even though the subdivision is
not in a DWQ buffered watershed.
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). The proposed subdivision will provide housing for the
growing area and the proposed sewerline is necessary in order to provide sanitary sewer
service to the proposed development. The proposed road crossings are necessary to fully
access all usable upland areas on-site. Because the applicant has minimized impacts to
the maximum extent practicable, S&EC believes further compensatory mitigation should
not be required by the USAGE, however if mitigation is required, payment to the WRP is
proposed..
NC-DWQ's current policy requires written concurrence for perennial 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 Permit 12. NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or
stream mitigation for perennial stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet
per project. Because impacts to wetlands and channels are below the thresholds for
mitigation, we do not believe that wetland nor stream mitigation should be required by
NC-DWQ. Please also note that following construction the site will contain 26.5%
impervious surface. Because wetland impacts are below 0.1 acre and because impervious
surface will be less than 30% (26.5%), we do not believe that this project requires a pre-
approved stormwater plan.
Please call if you require any additional information or have any questions.
Sincerely,
Will Buetow Sean Clark

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
Page 7 of 13
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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must 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.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The proposed impacts result
from crossing two intermittent channels twice with roads and one crossing of an intermittent
channel for sewer service Also the upper portion of an existing farm pond will be filled due
to road construction. A linear wetland is also proposed to be filled to add three additional lots
that would have otherwise be divided in half by the wetland and therefore unusable. The
details of the impacts are listed in the tables below.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Page 9 of 13
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.
Prior to subdivision planning a detailed wetland delineation was conducted by S & EC in an
effort to minimize impacts. Stream impacts were designed only on the intermittent channels on
property and not on the perennial channel on-site. Stream buffers were also added to the
subdivision design even though the subdivision is not presently within a DWQ buffered
watershed.
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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stringide.htinl.
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
Page 10 of 13
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
In the past impacts to intermittent streams have not required mitigation therefore we do
not believe that mitigation will be required Stream buffers were designed into the proposed
subdivision plan to minimize the impact to the streams on-site.
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 determine 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.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
Page I1 of 13
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion:
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 N/A 3 N/A
2 N/A 1.5 N/A
Total N/A N/A
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Gone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
The impervious surface on the proposed Droiect will be 26.5 %. Because the impervious surface
is less that 30% we believe that a pre approved storm water plan will not be necessary.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Sanitary sewer service will serve the proposed subdivision.
Page 12 of 13
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes E] 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).
