Attached please find revisions to the plans submitted for the Ashley Downs Development located in
Apex, North Carolina: The applicant has reduced impacts under Nationwide 26 to 0.51 acres; this
accommodates your request to reduce impact acreage.
The reduction in acreage was accomplished by re-design and the loss of impact acreage associated
with lot number 82.
Senior Environmental Consultants, Inc. prepared the attached maps. Please contact myself or
Mke Crowley with SECI.

Dear Mr. Bigman:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material
into 1.23 acres of waters and/or wetlands located at Ashley Downs subdivision in Wake
County for residential development. Based on this review, we have identified significant uses
which would be removed by this project. These uses are water storage and pollutant removal-
Furthermore, insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be
built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0506.
Therefore, we are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC
2H .0507(e). Until we receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter)
that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the N.C. Division of Coastal Management place
your project on administrative hold.
Please provide us with information supporting your position that your project must be
constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters
and/or wetlands. Specifically can you construct your development without filling lots 83,112,
113,114 and 115? Any documentation such as maps and narrative that you can supply to
address alternative designs for your project may be helpful in our review of your 401
Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of
this information to me and one copy to Mr. Danny Smith at the Raleigh Regional Office at 3800
Barrett Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609. If we do not hear from you in two weeks, we will assume
that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. I
can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jo perQualaityC u n

Raleigh, NC 27615-6846
The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permits 12, 14 and 26 for a total of 1.24 acres
of wetland impacts resulting from construction of Ashley Downs Subdivision. The project which
is owned by Chapel Hill Associates is located near Apex, NC (Wake County) south of Olive
Chapel Road (see vicinity map).
The wetland delineation has been reviewed in the field and approved by Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The construction of road crossings will result in impacts totaling 0.014 acres; a total of 601f of
intermittent channel type impacts will result (see site plan). In order to minimize impact, the
orientation of the road crossing is perpendicular to the channel.
The installation of sanitary sewer outfalls will result in the loss of 0.133 acres of forested wetlands
as they will be "converted" to scrub-shrub wetlands. Temporary impacts from utility installation
total 0.24 acres. Access easements are 10 feet wide in accordance with the water quality general
certification for this type of work.
Loss of wetlands under Nationwide Permit 26 totals 0.976 acres with no loss of channels. No
mitigation is proposed.
Please call if you have questions or require further information. If you decide to perform, a site
visit, please contact us so we can arrange for someone to accompany you.

401 Certification
Triassic basin wetland associated with a (even-aged) mixed
hardwood/pine forest located in Beaver Creek floodplain. This
stream was observed to be deeply incised with a limited opportunity
for overbank flooding. That is, the wetlands function as headwater
wetlands. (Pinus taeda, Arundinaria gigantea, smilax,
Microstegium, and Liquidambar styraciflua were prominent)
The project consisted of 0.24 acres of impact under NW12. Also
proposed impacts include NW 26 (0.9768) and NW 14 (0.014ac) which
total 0.99 acres. Accordingly, proposed impact that are subject to
wetland mitigation is below 1 acre and which is below mitigation
threshold.
However, with respect to avoiding/minimization the RRO recommends
that lots #112 through 115 and lot #83 be avoided.
