The revised impacts are included on the impact tables for your review. The proposed impacts for the interchange are: 1.2 acres of wetland impact, 1,2921inear feet of perennial stream, 3.42 acres of riparian buffer impacts and 0.2 acres of mechanized clearing within wetlands for construction access. The proposed permanent impacts for the subdivision are: 2.04 acres of wetland impact, 1,643 linear feet of perennial channel impact, and 4.16 acres of riparian buffer impact. The utility line impacts are as follows: 2.39 acres of wetland impact, 625 linear feet of stream impact, and 1.57 acres of riparian buffer impact. 1) Please submit your mitigation plan. The applicant proposes a combination of preservation and payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. We have been working with Mr. Monte Matthews to flesh out the details and determine the mitigation ratios. In the meantime, EEP has agreed to accept payment for the impacts at a ratio of 2: 1. A copy of their acceptance letter is included with the attachments. Additionally, we have received confirmation from the NC-DOT that they are willing to transfer the mitigation credits for the impacts associated with the interchange. Mitigation Requirements: With the exception of Site 4 on the interchange, all of the proposed stream impacts are to perennial channels. Buffer mitigation will be required for impacts at the following locations: Site 2, Site 3, Site 4, R2, R4, R6, R8; R11, and S2 (zone 1 only). DOT has agreed to transfer 1.09 acres of wetland mitigation, 24, 757 SF of Zl mitigation, and 22, 928 SF of Z2mitigation. Please note the SF of the buffer mitigation reported here is the actual impact amount, not the mitigation credit. The actual mitigation transferred includes the multiplier of 3 and 1.5 for Zones 1 and 2, respectively (see attached letter from DOT).

If you want to break them out from the raod impacts, you can label them as utility line impacts (that's what i did on the impact tables) or you can lump them all together. i'll call you later to discuss my other comments. cheers, todd TODD PREtININGEFt VIVITHER~ ~ RA-VENEL isi lAacKenan Ori+r~e i Cary, North Carolina t7~ri tei: r3s9~4'~~334v' fix: 9i9835~45~5: direct: gi~.~38.o3uy~ v~r~~w,~~~ I ih e rs rive i~c 1, tram NCITIC"E of CCINFlDENTI~,IITY AND NCYNr}lSCt,€1SU'R E This e9cctr~nic me~saa~*t~, vrhith includes arty atlachnr~nt~~ and oti~cr daeurnentr. reicrrt~d to hrrein ~4xrtains irr(~rrrnertir~n trorn Vlithers ~ FarwenCl,lnt. that rinrry L7e legrrliy privilrTM,ed and tontidrrntial The iafurvnatiorr i~; iartrn4lrrd for ttie~ u r. cnl'thrr a In sscxlal emit' If yew arcs not Ch~e addr~sree, note that arty diselasure, rx~p~ying, printing. di,tnbr.rlivn, air ir.~e u~ thr conlc•nt~~ .+I ttri^ rnCt: age iti pn~hiL~il~d.

Design and placement of culverts r 4tiP°""~- and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or 'f upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide r ~~a~;mt?'' evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. v Tl1e establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. Mr. Greg Ferguson and Mercury Dcwclopment Page 5 of 8 flctoher 3;, 2007 If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality. Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certif cite of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 40l/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project.

The dimension, pattcm and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified. Distw•bect floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. 11. The use ofrip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage. 12. The Pcnxtittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings subrnittec[ for approval. 13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. 14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification. 15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 16. The pennittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards {including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If DWQ cietcrmines that such standards or laws arc not being ntet (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal Iaw is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification. 17. AlI fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized by this certification. 18. A copy of tI~is Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on site at the construction site at all times.

Mr. Greg Ferguson and Mercury Devclopmcnt Page 6 of'8 October 3,, 2007 19. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Pertnittee li-otn complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable bul~'er rules, stornnvater management Hiles, soil erosion and sedimentation control requirements, etc. 20. 1'he Pernittee shall report any violations of this cec•tification to the Division of Water Quality within 24 hours of discovery. 21. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jw•isdictional wetlands or wafers associated with this permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads. to waste or borrow sites, be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities. 22. "temporary W etland Impacts Due to the possibility that compaction and/or other site alterations might prevent the temporary wetland impact area fratn re-attaining jurisdictional wetland status, the permittee shall provide ^ ,~~ an annual update on the temporarily impacted wetland areas within the project area. This r aimual update will consist of photographs and a brief report on the progress of these ~ ~ ~ ~ temporarily impacted areas in re-attaining wetland jurisdictional status. 'Three years after y~`r~ project completion, the penmittee shall schedule an agency field meeting with the NC Division ~t¢ of Water Quality to detenmine if the wetland areas temporarily impacted by this project have re- ~r l attained jurisdictional wetland status. if at the end of three years the wetland areas temporarily a ~ impacted by this project have not re-attained jurisdictional wetland status, NC DWQ shall ~~ ~ determine if compensatory wetland mitigation will be required. ~~ ~/ Continuing Compliance: ~o k` (d,~ 23.
