The overall property contains approximately 47 acres of agricultural crop fields; the
remaining area consists primarily of mature mixed pine -hardwood forest. There are
several existing structures on the property, including four abandoned buildings and
three silos. This last phase of the project was previously an agricultural field.
Successional vegetation is now present across most of this area. The subject
property vicinity contains forested land and residential, commercial, and office
developments. Please refer to the attached USGS Location Map (Figure 1) and Wake
County Soil Survey Map (Figure 2) for more information on the project setting of this
phase.

4. Proposed Activity
Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used:*
Holding Village North Lake is a mixed -use development situated between Holding
Lake and NC Highway 98. This phase is within the second half of the Holding Village
overall development and consists of multi -family residential development. The
proposed development plan includes two road connections to the existing
development and a stormwater control measure. One road connection crosses a
stream channel. It will be constructed with an arch culvert to avoid impacting the
stream. The attached Construction Drawings depict the overall project plan view and
locations of insets that show details of the proposed impact areas.
Heavy equipment typical for road construction, utility installation and grading will be
used to construct the proposed project such as track hoes, bulldozers, dump trucks
and graders.

6c. Please explain and detail according to "help file" instructions.
The overall Holding Village development's permit history began in February 2007 with
a request for an express review from DWR (#07-0295 V1), which was abandoned. In
September of that same year, DWR issued a buffer authorization (#07-0295 V2
attached) to impact the riparian buffer with one road span, a pedestrian bridge and
sanitary sewer alignments. Due to the economic recession, the project was
abandoned, and impacts were not completed. This permit application includes the
same road crossing (#2) location and a portion of the sanitary sewer alignment
previously approved. Because a Conditional Use Permit based on the Master Plan
for this project was approved in 2007 and construction on the South Lake phase of
the project has commenced, the Town of Wake Forest has determined the Master
Plan is vested in the 50-foot buffer and Phase I Stormwater rules that were in place at
the time of approval.
In 2012, a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3 was utilized and written approval (#07-0295
V3) was obtained by DWR for the rehabilitation of Holding Lake's dam. This work
permanently impacted 73 If of stream (emergency spillway listed as
intermittent/perennial depending on flows from the lake) and 0.02 ac of wetlands and
temporarily impacted 0.08 ac of wetlands. As part of the rehabilitation, the spillway
was designed for the 100-year storm and will dissipate most every storm event that
occurs within the drainage basin of Holding Lake before it reaches downstream
waters.
In 2014, DWR issued a buffer authorization (#07-0295 V4) for riparian buffer impacts
from level spreader bypass outlets and a greenway around Holding Lake as part of
the South Lake at Holding Village residential development that generally occupies the
southern half of the property. This authorization was replaced in early 2015 to slightly
revise the greenway alignment and accommodate three access piers on the lake
(#07-0295 V5).
The attached NWP 29 was issued for the second half of the Holding Village overall
development on May 8, 2020 to authorize 779 linear feet of stream channel impacts,
0.12 acre of temporary wetland impacts, and 0.07 acre of permanent open water
impacts. DWR issued the corresponding 401 approval on April 14, 2020 (#07-0295
V6).

Comments:
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project.
The road crossing is unavoidable because the stream channel bisects this area from
the existing development and a second entrance is required due to the number of
residences in this section of the development. The crossing was aligned to cross the
channel perpendicularily to minimize the impact to the buffer. An arch culvert was
utilized to avoid impacting the stream. A geotechnical report for the arch culvert
design was submitted to April Norton, USACE and Colleen Cohen, DWR on May 24,
2022.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
A Sediment and Erosion Control Plan will be developed and approved by the Town of
Wake Forest, and the project will comply with the supplementary NPDES
Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000).
