Good question, but unfortunately the preliminary drawing shown on page 36 was ultimately
determined not acceptable by the developer and City for multiple reasons, most importantly being that
it did not provide a clearly separate street right of way for the extension of the existing Betsy Place
street through the property. It would have essentially ended the street in a parking lot. The City and
developer both decided that a clearly defined street right of way through the property was needed.
Earlier versions of the revised plan (that provides the street corridor through the property) had
considerably more stream and buffer impact as they eliminated and filled over the downstream bend
in the stream. S&EC worked with the designers to come up with the proposed plan which retains the
bend in the stream and associated buffers.
There will be no additional impacts (temporary or otherwise) than those requested. The "permanent
impact, but not permanent loss" impact stream sections (shaded in purple) provide for adequate room
for any construction sequences (check dams, dewatering, etc.).
Kind regards,

Hi Bob,
Also will there be any temporary impacts associated with the installation of the road crossing for dewatering, etc.?

Hi Bob,
I am finishing up my review of this project and I wanted to see if you could answer some questions about the road
crossi ng.
The current plan has the downstream side of the culvert outlet close to a hard left turn. There is a preliminary drawing
on page 36 of the PCN that shows the crossing further upstream. Was there a reason the crossing was moved
downstream to the proposed location? Were considerations for potential erosion on the turn considered?
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Dear Robert Brooks and Bob Zarzecki,
A preconstruction notification application (PCN) dated 11/11/2022 was submitted for the proposed activities. Due to
workload, the Corps was unable to provide timely formal written verification for impacts proposed in your
preconstruction notification application.
General Condition number 32, which lists the notification requirements for nationwide permits, states that "The
prospective permittee shall not begin the activity: (1) Until notified in writing ...., or (2) If 45 calendar days have passed
from the district engineer's receipt of the complete PCN and the prospective permittee has not received written notice
from the district or division engineer." Accordingly, on 12/25/2022, the applicant, CRP/Maple Pines Owner, LLC, was
authorized to place fill or dredged material into waters, associated with the construction of the ALLORA PINES project,
under nationwide permit number 29, as proposed in the permit application dated 11/11/2022. 1 have attached a copy of
the applicable permit conditions. The expiration date for the permit verification is March 14, 2026.
Please note that your work is authorized by the above referenced permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance
with the permit conditions and your submitted plans (see attached). Any violation of the conditions or deviation from
your submitted plans may subject the permittee to a stop work order, a restoration order and/or appropriate legal
action.
It is your responsibility to contact the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Raleigh Regional Office to
determine the 401 requirements for this project. Please note that, if an Individual 401 WQC is required from NCDWR,
the conditions of the Individual 401 WQC, once issued, are also conditions of the NWP referenced above. You may not
conduct the activity authorized by the above referenced NWP without a valid 401 Water Quality Certification.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this statutory verification, or any of the conditions of the permit.
