I Joshua Baird certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of
the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis
has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using the best
available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections I and II plus all
attached planning assessment addendums for which I am the responsible party. Signature of this

Flow Reduction Approval
Johnston County
On January 3, 2001, the Division of Water Quality received your flow reduction request for new
kingle-Family dwellings in the Town of Clayton. The letter requests approval of a residential flow value of 250
GPDlresidence for any future dwellings that may become tributary to the subject wastewater collection system.
The Division also received additional information on April 3, 2001
The information provided flow records between January 1998 and November 2000 for the WWTP.
The evaluation also included the daily wastewater flows for a 33 day period from February 19 through March
23, 2001 for a select 97 homes in accordance with l5A NCAC 2H .0219(1)(3).
Based upon the information submitted, the Division hereby approves the use of 250 GPD per single-
family residence in all applicable non -discharge permit applications for future sewer line extensions for the
Town of Clayton. This consideration applies to any applicable future projects submitted to the Division as well
as any projects which are currently under review. Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate,
at no time shall the wastewater flows exceed the effluent limits defined in the Town's NPDES aermit for the
treatment facility or exceed the capacity of the sewers downstream of any new sewer extension.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Kim H. Colson at

Location
Location Description: Highgate is located near the northern boundary limits of
the Town of Clayton, in Johnston County, NC. The 229-lot subdivision is
bordered by Covered Bridge Road to the north, Shotwell Road to the west, an
unnamed perennial stream to the southwest, and private residences and
undeveloped timberland to the south and east.
Project Area (acres). 58.93 Nearest Town: Clayton
Nearest Waterway: UT Neuse River River Basin: Neuse
Latitude and Longitude: 35.67208 N. -78.47350 W
Existing Site Conditions
The project area for the proposed subdivision is located in the piedmont
physiographic region of North Carolina. The project area primarily comprises an
existing residential development, and post -agricultural early successional forest
land
The property for Highgate was purchased by the current owners in 2005 as four
tracts. Two of the tracts have become Highgate. Two additional tracts adjacent
to the south are not a part of the project and are being developed by a different
party. Rezoning for the project was approved by Clayton concurrently with the
subdivision plans in 2015. In 2016, the main tract was purchased by Creech NC,
LLC., and construction began. Infrastructure, utilities, and amenities associated
with the construction of Phases 1 and 2 have been completed.
Construction continues today in Phases 3 and 4_ Road and utility infrastructure
associated with Highgate Phases 1 through 4 is largely complete. Previous
impacts verified via Nationwide Permit on this project total 0.442 acre of wetland
No stream impacts have been required to date. Construction of Phase 5 would
require additional impacts, which would be authorized by this standard permit,
originally submitted on January 18, 2021.
During site visits on January 21, and 22, 2021, unauthorized impacts associated
with a greenway trial (to be owned by the Town but constructed by the
developer) had occurred. The application was put on hold on January 22, 2021,
to assess and include those impacts in this application. A revised, complete
application was received on April 16, 2021.
No 100-year floodplain occurs on the project site. The applicant identified seven
wetlands and two streams within the project boundaries. A total of 2.044 ac of
wetland and 554.38 If of streams were identified.
