NEW HOPE ROAD RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27610 919-212-1760 • FAX 919-212-1707 www.environmentalservicesinc.com X- 1'w September 15, 2008 Ms. Amy Chapman NCDWQ-Wetlands/401 Unit 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699 Re: Lakewood Subdivision Nash County, NC Dear Amy: ESI is submitting this application for riparian buffer impacts only to NCDWQ on behalf of the applicant and project engineer. The project is located adjacent to the Tar River Reservoir and consists of developing a 9-lot residential development. An existing small cove is proposed to be expanded through excavation and dredging in order to create additional waterfront for the new lots. The impacts to the existing riparian buffer will be offset by the creation of more buffer than will be lost. The new buffer will be planted with native species at the required densities, although the planting is proposed to be more clustered in order to maintain visibility of the water in certain areas. Please call me if you have any questions or if you need to meet to discuss this project.

Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 13 The applicant will not be discharging anv fill material into Section 404 Waters of the United States The proposed excavation will extend an existing small cove into an existing upland area in order to provide waterfront access for 9proposed single-family lots. The site plan will temporarily impact a section of riparian buffer regulated under the Tar-Pamlico River Buffer Rules However, new riparian buffer will be created as a result of the newly excavated canal. This new buffer will be planted with native species at the densities required by DWQ. Boardwalks and platforms may be constructed in the new buffer, but they will be build in accordance with current buffer guidelines VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina (see DWQ website for most current version.). 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. The applicant is not proposing anv compensatory buffer mitigation at this time. The project will result in a net increase of approximated 1.02 acre of riparian buffer. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 10 of 13 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP).

If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or..0244, or.0260. Buffer mitigation is not being proposed. The proiect will result in a new buffer encompassing 1.25 acres 10.75 ac Zone 1 & 0.50 ac Zone 21which amount to a net increase on 1.02 acres of riparian buffer resulting from the excavation of the canal and creation of new buffer. The proposed plan for vegetating and maintaining the new buffer is attached. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. This is a nine lot single family residential subdivision. Houses are 66'x42' with driveways. Site will utilize municipal water and private septic systems The total site is 17.44 Acres; impervious area is 1.68 acres which is 9.6% of the total site. Approximately 90% of the storm runoff is sheet drainage that will flow under an elevated wooden walk as shown on the plans. There are three existing swales that are to be converted to pipe systems that will convey storm water from the adjoining roads and the site itself to the channel. Storm water flow from these piped systems will be converted back to sheet flow by use of level spreaders before draining through the buffer. The Developer has indicated there is to be various plantings in the buffers that will help maintain the storm runoff as sheet flow while not impeding the visual lines of sight from the proposed residences. XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.

Lakewood Subdivision Riparian Buffer Restoration Plan Nash County, North Carolina September 2008 Proposed Riparian Buffer Restoration Plan The applicant is proposing to plant at least three native species (trees or shrubs) at a density sufficient to provide 320 stems per acre at the end of the three-year monitoring period. The area to be replanted comprises approximately 1.25 acres and will be planted at an initial density of 440 stems per acre. This will equate to 550 stems planted on 10- foot centers throughout the 1.25-acre area. Stems to be planted will consist of bare root seedlings. Stems will be planted in clusters to maintain a certain amount of waterfront visibility after several seasons of growth. Species to be planted will be determined based on commercial availability at the time of planting. The species will be reported to DWQ prior to commencement of work for approval. Colored pin flags that are a minimum of 24 inches high will be installed beside each planted bare root seedling to aid in subsequent monitoring. ESI will visit the site once during planting to ensure proper planting techniques are being employed. As requested by DWQ, the planting will occur outside of the growing season. The growing season occurs from March 18 through November 10 based on data in the Soil Survey of Nash County, North Carolina. Therefore, assuming commercial availability, the bare root seedling replanting effort will be completed between November 10, 2009 and March 18, 2010. Monitoring Plan Mitigation monitoring guidelines require that at least 5% of the total mitigation type must be sampled. However, based on the very small size of the restoration area, ESI feels that it is more efficient to count all of the stems that have been planted. All surviving stems will be counted during each monitoring event to document the surviving density within the restoration area. Representative photographs will be taken and included with the monitoring report. No hydrology monitoring is proposed. The success goal of the 1.25- acre riparian buffer area is to have at least 400 surviving stems at the end of the three- year monitoring period. Schedule and Reporting Upon completion of planting, a brief baseline report will be submitted to DWQ documenting the final number and composition of installed bare root seedlings. Results from subsequent monitoring events will be compared back to these baseline numbers to document percent survival and density. The first annual monitoring event will occur toward the end of the first growing season prior to the trees dropping their leaves (Fall 2010). The results of the first annual monitoring event will be compiled into a report suitable for submittal to DWQ. Subsequent annual monitoring reports will be completed ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC. at approximately the same time each year to provide consistency in data collection and monitoring. Invasive Species Management The first annual monitoring plan will address noxious or invasive species by conducting bi-annual inspections of the riparian buffer area. One inspection will occur early in the growing season and the second will occur concurrently with the annual monitoring event toward the end of the growing season. Occurrences of noxious or invasive species will be reported to the applicant and the invasive species will be removed according to Best Management Practices.
