Hi Lyle,
Please see attached updated PCN, and below response to comments.
1) Based on the application the project proposes to discharge fill material at Impact Area C. The need residential
development is not disputed; however, you have not demonstrated avoidance and minimization to the
maximum extent practicable as required by NWP General Conditions 23(a) and (b). For example, given the scale
of the site (455 residential lots), it appears that impacts at Impact Area C for lot fill could be avoided or
minimized while still achieving the project purpose. Please redesign to avoid or minimize to the maximum extent
practicable or provide additional information to justify the proposed fill.
Alternatives to the proposed design in this area were considered (i.e. elimination of the adjacent lots that
resulted in total resource loss and "stubbing" of the road(s) at the crossing). Continuity of the road at this
location is necessary for both traffic connectivity and public safety. As a result, this alternative was removed
from consideration. It was determined that elimination of some or all of the lots north of the required crossing
would negatively impact this feature's hydrology, which would result in significant functional loss, if not
complete impact. To document/quantify this, SEI completed two iterations of the North Carolina Wetland
Assessment Method (WAM; attached). The wetland feature rated medium, based on its existing condition. By
revising the design (conceptually) to avoid fill of this feature, except as necessary for the road, the quality of the
wetland changed from medium to low, due to anticipated changes to hydrologic connectivity, a drastically
reduced/eliminated buffer area, and significant adjacent land use changes. Based on the proposed design, the
loss of the feature's upslope function is accounted for (i.e. included as an impact) and, as a result, a 2:1
mitigation:impact ratio is proposed to offset it (i.e. purchase of mitigation credits within a highly functioning
mitigation site protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement). Please see the attached WAM forms
referenced above: one representing existing conditions (medium rating) and the other considering avoidance of
direct impacts to it (i.e. fill: low rating).
2) Based on the application the project proposes to discharge fill material at Impact Area F. The need residential
development is not disputed; however, you have not demonstrated avoidance and minimization to the
maximum extent practicable as required by NWP General Conditions 23(a) and (b). For example, given the scale
of the site (455 residential lots), it appears that impacts at Impact Area F for lot fill could be avoided or
minimized while still achieving the project purpose. Please redesign to avoid or minimize to the maximum extent
practicable or provide additional information to justify the proposed fill.
Avoidance of direct impacts (i.e. fill) within this area were considered. In order to determine the resultant
impacts to stream function, if any, SEI completed a North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (SAM) evaluation
for this feature, for both existing and anticipated post -construction conditions. The results documented that,
1

under existing conditions, the stream is of medium functional quality. By avoiding impacts to this feature but
proceeding with development of the adjacent areas (note: this feature was determined by NCDWR to NOT have
at least intermittent hydrology and, as a result, it is NOT subject to the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules) the feature's
quality is rated as low, due to anticipated streamside impacts such as conversion to maintained lawn, drastically
reduced buffer area, and anticipated increases of water quality stressors. Under the proposed design, the loss of
function of the feature's upstream portions are accounted for and offset, using a 2:1 mitigation:impact ratio (i.e.
purchase of mitigation credits within a highly functioning mitigation site protected in perpetuity under a
conservation easement). Please see the attached SAM forms referenced above: one representing existing
conditions (medium rating) and the other considering avoidance of direct impacts to it (i.e. fill: low rating).
3) Generally speaking, elevated boardwalk pilings are evaluated as structures and not a discharge of fill material.
Based on the spacing of the pilings it appears that the proposed activities at Impact Area G does not result in a
permanent discharge of fill material. However, typically boardwalks within forested wetlands are viewed as
permanent conversion impacts because of a partial loss of function through conversion of forested wetlands to
herbaceous wetlands. Conversion impacts would consists of areas that forested wetlands are converted and
maintained as herbaceous wetlands through maintenance in perpetuity. Please update the PCN impact table,
plans and compensatory mitigation plan to account for permanent wetland convers. Typically a 1:1 ratio
compensatory mitigation ratio is required to ensure minimal adverse effects.
Please see updated site plans included in the attached, updated PCN.
4) Based on the application the proposed activities will result in a loss of 0.026 acre of streambed and 0.4201 acres
of wetlands. Per General Condition 23 and Regional Condition 7 a compensatory mitigation plan is required.
Typically, compensatory mitigation is required at a 2:1 credit to impact ratio unless otherwise justified based on
evaluation of aquatic function (NCSAM and NCWAM). Please provide a compensatory mitigation plan to include
a proposed mitigation ratio and ILF letter and/or SOA.
Please see SOAs included in the attached, updated PCN.
5) Note: the proposed activities that consists of installation of riprap within streambed is viewed as a permanent
impact because fille will be permanently placed within the streambed. As proposed (embedded to match
preexisting elevations/contours) are typically viewed as permanent impacts that do not result in a total loss of
feature and therefore typically mitigation is not required. It appears that riprap will be installed downstream at
Impact Areas A, D and H.
Please see updated site plans included in the attached, updated PCN.
6) Based on review of the proposed plans (Retreat at Friendship) and review of the previously authorized impacts
for the construction of Horton Ridge Blvd. it is unclear if additional wetland impacts are proposed at wetland
"W13" depicted on the "Wetlands/Stream Map". It appears that impacts to a portion of W13 was authorized,
however, it is unclear if additional impacts are occurring for lot construction. Based on the JD "W13" was
approximately 0.13 acres in size and only 0.09 acres of fill was authorized. If fill is proposed within "W13" for
proposed lot fill then a redesign to avoid and minimize to the maximum extent practicable or additional
information is required to justify the proposed fill (see comment 1 and 2 above).
Best,
The acreage calculations within the JD were based on preliminary GPS data, while the quantities in the plans are
based on formal survey data. The latter is more accurate. The Horton Ridge Blvd. application covered 3,996 SF,
which is the entire area of feature W13. Therefore, impacts to the areas depicted currently under lot
development have already been permitted. The feature is shown as an existing condition because the Horton
Ridge impact has not yet been completed.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Freshwater mussel surveys were conducted in Little Beaver Creek based on recommendations
by the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) for Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
SAW 2020-00386. The site is located approximately three miles upstream of the confluence
with Jordan Lake of the Cape Fear River Basin. The United States Fish and Wildlife Services
(USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) GIS planning tool lists one
"Threatened" aquatic species, Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), as potentially being affected
by the project.
SEPI Inc., was contracted by Spangler Environmental, Inc. to conduct surveys targeting the
Atlantic Pigtoe as part of the permitting process that requires an evaluation of potential
project-related impacts to federally protected species.
2.0 PROTECTED SPECIES DESCRIPTION
2.1 Atlantic Pigtoe(Fusconaia masoni)
2.1.1 Species Characteristics
The Atlantic Pigtoe is a freshwater mussel reaching up to 60mm in length. This species is
characterized by having a sub-rhomboidal shaped shell with a distinct posterior ridge. The
umbo is elevated well above the dorsal margin and the beak cavity is shallow. The periostracum
is yellow to dark brown and has a parchment- like texture (Bogan 2002, Bogan and Alderman
2008). Pseudocardinal and lateral teeth are well developed except for the anterior
pseudocardinal tooth in the right valve, while the interdental tooth is absent in the left valve
(USFWS 2018b).
The Atlantic Pigtoe is a tachytictic breeder, gravid females have been found from late June to
early July (Fuller 1973). Fish hosts for this species include Bluegill Sunfish, Shield Darter,
Longnose Dace, Rosefin Shiner and Creek Chub (Watters and O'Dee 1997, Wolf and Emrick
2011).
2.1.2 Distribution and Habitat Requirements
The Atlantic Pigtoe is endemic to the southern Atlantic Slope and is found from the Ogeechee
River Basin in Georgia to the James River Basin in Virginia. In North Carolina, this species is
known from the Catawba, Pee Dee, Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Roanoke River Basins
(Johnson 1970, Bogan 2002). This species can be found in medium to large streams with clean,
swift waters and a stable gravel or sand and gravel substrate. Individuals are often found on the
downstream edge of riffle areas.

4.0 SURVEY EFFORTS
Atlantic Pigtoe surveys were conducted by Chris Sheats (ES Permit# 22-ES00558) and Tori
Fowler on February 1, 2022.
4.1 Methodology
Freshwater mussel surveys were completed by a 2-person survey team using bathyscopes,
visual and tactile survey methods. The survey reach extended from 500 meters downstream of
the proposed Permanent Wetland Impact 2 to 100 meters upstream of the proposed
Permanent Wetland Impact 3 (Appendix A).
5.0 RESULTS
Freshwater mussel surveys were conducted for a total of 4 person hours within Little Beaver
Creek. During the survey, all UTs flowing into Little Beaver Creek within the survey reach were
evaluated for appropriate Atlantic Pigtoe habitat, and none was observed. No Atlantic Pigtoe
individuals were observed during survey. No freshwater mussels, clams, or snails were observed
during this survey.
During the survey, Little Beaver Creek's stream width was 0.5 to 2 meters with depths ranging
from 0.25 to 1 meter in the downstream portion of the survey. Substrate was dominated by
unconsolidated sand and silt with few areas of gravel present. Pool and run habitats were
present within the reach. Water levels were normal, and visibility was clear during surveys. This
site had 90%forest cover with narrow, wooded buffers and a surrounding natural, sub-urban
land-use. Beginning just downstream of Permanent Stream Impact 1, the stream channel is
inundated from a series of beaver dams ranging from 1.5-2.5 meters in height and expanding 3
to 6 meters across Little Beaver Creek floodplain. The floodplain was inundated with very little
flow.
6.0 DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS
Atlantic Pigtoe was not observed in Little Beaver Creek. Based on the distance to known
occurrences of Atlantic Pigtoe individuals and the results of this survey, this project is not
anticipated to have negative impacts to the Atlantic Pigtoe. Due to the presence of habitat, the
project biological conclusion for Atlantic Pigtoe is "May Affect; Not Likely to Adversely Affect".
Critical habitat is not present in the survey reach, therefore the biological conclusion for critical
habitat is "No Effect". The survey efforts detailed in the report serve to update species
information within the surveyed portions of Little Beaver Creek.
Atlantic Pigtoe
Biological Conclusion: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Habitat for the species was observed but no individuals were found.
Biological Conclusion for Critical Habitat: No Effect
Proposed critical habitat for Atlantic Pigtoe is not located within the study area, suggesting that
the proposed project will have no effect on proposed critical habitat for this species.

A. Preliminary Determination
There appear to be waters,including wetlands on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC§ 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC §403). The
waters,including wetlands have been delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable.The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated February 2020.
Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining
compensatory mitigation.For purposes of computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other resource
protection measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be
affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S.This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part
331).However,you may request an approved JD,which is an appealable action,by contacting the Corps district for further

of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).
However,since the waters,including wetlands have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters,including wetlands at the project area,which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision.We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated.As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination

suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion,this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified,this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which,provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations,may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑The waters,including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE.Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S.,to include wetlands,present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General
Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-construction notification" (PCN),
or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant
has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1)the
permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD,which does not make
an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2)the applicant has the option to
request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that
basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation
being required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual
permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit
authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with
all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps
has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit
authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or
undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that
activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any
administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in
any Federal court; and (7)whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD,the JD will
be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If,during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make
an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review
area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the
Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"navigable waters of the U.S. on the
subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by
the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Subject: Stream Buffer Determination Apex 19-003
Heelan, Olive Farm Road
Cape Fear—Jordan Lake Watershed
Dear Maria Polizzi,
On December 6th, 2019, Mr. James Misciagno met with you at the subject site to evaluate Twelve (12)
drainage features and determine if they are subject to the Town of Apex (Town) riparian buffer rules.
Based on the information obtained during the site visit and per the requirements set forth in Section
6.1.11 of the Town Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), I concur with the stream classifications as
shown on the attached sketch dated December 03, 2019 and initialed by James Misciagno.
Drainage Shown as Shown as on Determination made Determined Buffer
Feature on USGS Soil Survey in the field Width
S1A Intermittent Perennial Ephemeral 0 feet
S1B Intermittent Perennial Intermittent 50 feet
53A Not Present Intermittent Ephemeral 0 feet
S3B Not Present Intermittent Ephemeral 0 feet
S4 Not Present Not Present No call needed 0 feet
S5 Not Present Intermittent Intermittent 50 feet
S6A Not Present Intermittent Ephemeral 0 feet

S7B Intermittent Intermittent Intermittent 50 feet
S8 Intermittent Intermittent Intermittent 50 feet

S9 Not Present Intermittent Ephemeral 0 feet
S10 Not Present Not Present No call needed 0 feet
*Streams S4, S5 and S10 were all delineated by Spangler Environmental on their sketch map and all fall
within the perennial stream buffer that was not contested on the southern portion of the property;
therefore, call sheets were not required, but features were verified by James Misciagno in the field on
December 6th, 2019.
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) or Delegated Local
Authority in the Jordan Lake watershed may request a determination by the DWR Director.
An appeal request must be made within sixty (60)days of date of this letter or from the date the affected
party (including downstream and/or adjacent owners) is notified of this letter. A request for a
determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWR—401&
Buffer Permitting Unit; 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. Otherwise the appeal
procedure will be in accordance with UDO Section 6.1.11.
If you dispute the Director's determination, you may file a petition for an administrative hearing. You
must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within sixty (60) days of receipt of this
notice of decision. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings
during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday
between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm, except for official State holidays.
To request a hearing, send the original and one (1) copy of the petition to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. A copy of the petition must also be served
to the Department of Natural Resources, c/o Mary Penny Thompson, General Counsel, 1601 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1601.
This determination is final and binding unless, as detailed above, you ask for a hearing or appeal within
sixty(60)days. This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries
should be directed to the US Army Corp of Engineers (Raleigh Regulator Field Office) at [phone].
