Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000 Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCG010000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.usIsu/Forms Documents.htm.; 8. Culvert Installation Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the. streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re- installed correctly. Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts 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 upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. The 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. 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 "Certificate 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 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project.

W&R Project Number- 205228.0 ?,? - -• DWQ Project Number -03-330 w" APR 21 6 z?ll6 Dear Mr. Matthews and Ms. Karoly, L)Lkf? -`',,Tct.GU'LITI C. TLIjt On behalf of the Town of Cary and M/I Homes, we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP 14 and 401-certification from the NC-DWQ for the installation of a roadway. Based on comments from the NC-DWQ, we have re-designed our plans to meet DW Q requirements. The proposed thoroughfare is located in Cary, approximately 11oo feet east of the current intersection of Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) and Green Level Church Road (SR 16oo) (see attached USGS Quadrangle). The project is a realignment of the two roads to make a more traditional crossroads. The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and contains un-named tributaries to Panther Creek. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2oo6, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be'un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2oo6 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: o6003). On February 10, 2oo6, a pre- application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed 'Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. Therefore, the roadway impacts wilt not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. The Hydrologic Unit Code forthis basin is 03030004. The Water Quality classification is WS-IV; NSW, stream index 16-41-1-17-3• The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant/intermittent stream channel impact and 10,585 square feet (ft2) of jurisdictional wetland impact. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adjacent tributary and the side slopes were steepened to further minimize impact to the 111 MacKenan Drive i Cary, NC 27511 1 tel: 919.469.3340 1 fax: 919.467.6oo8 i www.withersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Avenue i Suite 1o1 i Wilmington, NC 28403 1 tel: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 1027 Sabbath Home Rd, SW i Supply, 14C 28462 1 tel: 910.842.9392 1 fax: 91o.842.8019 stream channel. Because the wetland impacts exceed o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the acceptance letter from the NC-EEP is included with the attachments. We do not believe that mitigation should be required for impacts to the stream channels because it was determined that the proposed impacts are to an un- important/intermittent stream channel.

Pre-application meetings were conducted with Mr. Monte Matthews of the USACE on December 9, 2005 and on February 10, 2006. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2006, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance'detennination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2006 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: 06003). On February 10, 2006, a pre-application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed tllorout?hfare. Durini., this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be pernitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. The roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. Additionally, based on recent correspondence from DWQ, we have re-designed our plans to meet their requirements. V. Future Project Plans Are any future pennit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be Page 3 of 9 listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation fonns should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide inforniation related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. During; the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adiacent tributarv and the side slopes were steepened and headwalls were added to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Page 5 of 9 Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed alignment. 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, available at http://112o.enr.state.me.us/newetlarnds/strmgi(i Jit nl. 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. Because the impacts exceed 0.1 acres of wetlands the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the EEP acceptance letter is included with the attachments. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Effliancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this fonn.

First and foremost, please note that Green Level to Durham Road as well as Morrisville Parkway extensions will be permitted as Town of Cary projects since both are included with Town's thoroughfare plan and construction costs are being reimbursed by the Town. Green Level to Durham road and Morrisville Parkway are classified as major thoroughfares with design speeds of 50 mph which must meet NCDOT design requirements since they will be maintained by NCDOT. Wetlands and riparian buffers were taken into account during preliminary design but because of the horizontal and vertical design requirements, we have limited flexibility with adjusting the road design in order to completely avoid impacts. In addition, the new alignment for Green Level to Durham road had to be coordinated with the Morrisville Parkway alignment and NCDOT intersection criteria had to be maintained. However, we were able to make revisions and adjustments in other areas to minimize impacts. Please note that we met with Todd Tugwell with USACE and Eric Kulz with NCDWQ several months ago to discuss the proposed alignments and address any USACE concerns. The Town of Cary staff and their consultant, URS, were also in attendance as the Town had prepared the alignment study and, subsequently, the proposed alignment for Morrisville Parkway. Based on USACE & NCDWQ comments during the meeting, we shifted Green Level to Durham road to the east in order to avoid and minimize the impacts of the confluence of two stream channels just to the west. In addition we revised the fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1 and added head\valls to minimize the length of channel impacts. Lastly, it is important to note that we also met with Monte Matthews on December 9, 2005 to discuss all of the proposed wetland impacts associated with Gabel Farms including the Green Level to Durham Road and Morrisville Parkway impacts and assured Mr. Matthrews that we have made every effort to minimize impacts.

L=j W&R Project Number- 205228.0 APR 6 2006 DWQ Project Number - 03-330 Dear Mr. Matthews and Ms. Karoly, On behalf of the Town of Cary and M/I Homes, we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP 14 and 401-certification from the NC-DWQ for the installation of a roadway. Based on comments from the NC-DWQ, we have re-designed our plans to meet DW Q requirements. The proposed thoroughfare is located in Cary, approximately 11oo feet east of the current intersection of Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1625) and Green Level Church Road (SR 16oo) (see attached USGS Quadrangle). The project is a realignment of the two roads to make a more traditional crossroads. The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and contains un-narned tributaries to Panther Creek. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2oo6, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Kulz, made an intermittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2oo6 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: o6003). On February 10, 2oo6, a pre- application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. Therefore, the roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03030004. The Water Quality classification is WS-IV; NSW, stream index 16-41-1-17-3. The current request is for 340 linear feet of unirnportant/intermittent stream channel impact and 10,585 square feet (ft2) of jurisdictional wetland impact. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adjacent tributary and the side slopes were steepened to further minimize impact to the 111 MacKenan Drive i Cary, NC 27511 1 tel: 919.469.3340 1 fax: 919.467.6oo8 i www.witliersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Avenue i Suite 1o1 i Wilmington, NC 28403 1 tel: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 1027 Sabbath Home Rd, SW i Supply, NC 28462 1 tel: 910.842.9392 1 fax: 910.842.8019 stream channel. Because the wetland impacts exceed o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. A copy of the acceptance letter from the NC-EEP is included with the attachments. We do not believe that mitigation should be required for impacts to the stream channels because it was determined that the proposed impacts are to an un- important/intermittent stream channel.

If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. Previous segments of Green Level to Durham Road may have required 404/401 permits; however, Withers & Ravenel was not involved with the pernitting for these segments. Pre-application meetings were conducted with Mr. Monte Matthews of the USACE on December 9, 2005 and oil February 10, 2006. A wetland delineation was conducted by Soil and Environmental Consultants and site visits were conducted by the USACE to review the delineation. On January 26, 2006, the Withers and Ravenel met with Mr. Monte Matthews to verify our importance determination. Mr. Matthews agreed that the USACE considers the stream to be `un-important. In addition, Mr. Eric Ktilz, made an intennittent/perennial stream determination on February 1, 2006 and determined that the stream is intermittent (IPRRO#: 06003). On February 10, 2006, a pre-application meeting was held with the USACE and the NC-DWQ to discuss permitting issues associated with the proposed thoroughfare. During this meeting, it was decided that the proposed `Green Level to Durham' road improvements had independent utility (i.e. are a stand-alone project) and could be permitted as a Town of Cary Project, with M/I Homes listed as the co-applicant. The roadway impacts will not be considered cumulatively with the adjacent development. Additionally, based on recent correspondence from DWQ, we have re-designed our plans to meet their requirements. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be Page 3 of 9 listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation fortes should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The current request is for 340 linear feet of unimportant stream impact and 10,585square feet of jurisdictional xvetland impact. 2.

Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): NA Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local storinwater requirement, etc.): NA Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: NA Size of watershed draining to pond: NA VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Expected pond surface area: NA Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. During the design process, the road was shifted to the east to reduce impacts to an adiacent tributarv and the side slot)es were steepened and headwalls were added to further minimize impact to the stream channel. Page 5 of 9 Included with the attachments is a memo from the Project Engineer detailing our efforts to minimize impacts to the stream channels and wetlands within the proposed alignment. VIII. Alitigation 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 Pennits, 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, available at http://h2o.Cllr.state.nC.us/hlcwctlancis/stnngide.hhnl. 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 mctliod of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because the impacts exceed 0.1 acres of wetlands the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy initigation requirements. A copy of the EEP acceptance letter is included with the attachments. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

Property Owner: Date: D (si e) WITHERS RAVENEL ENGINEERS I PLANNERS I SURVEYORS MEMORANDUM TO: Todd Preuninger- Withers & Ravenel CC: Jeremy Medlin - M/I Homes FROM: Robbie Oldham DATE: January 18, 2oo6 PROJECT: Green Level to Durham Road Extension- Cary, NC SUBJECT: 404/401 Permitting Pursuant to our conversation regarding the permitting concerns for the above project, we are providing this memorandum for justification of the proposed wetlands impacts. First and foremost, please note that Green Level to Durham Road as well as Morrisville Parkway extensions will be permitted as Town of Cary projects since both are included with Town's thoroughfare plan and construction costs are being reimbursed by the Town. Green Level to Durham road and Morrisville Parkway are classified as major thoroughfares with'design speeds of 50 mph which must meet NCDOT design requirements since they will be maintained by NCDOT. Wetlands and riparian buffers were taken into account during preliminary design but because of the horizontal and vertical design requirements, we have limited flexibility with adjusting the road design in order to completely avoid impacts. In addition, the new alignment for Green Level to Durham road had to be coordinated with the Morrisville Parkway alignment and NCDOT intersection criteria had to be maintained. However, we were able to make revisions and adjustments in other areas to minimize impacts. Please note that we met with Todd Tugwell with USACE and Eric Kulz with NCDWQ several months ago to discuss the proposed alignments and address any USACE concerns. The Town of Cary staff and their consultant, URS, were also in attendance as the Town had prepared the alignment study and, subsequently, the proposed alignment for Morrisville Parkway. Based on USACE & NCDWQ continents during the meeting, we shifted Green Level to Durham road to the east in order to avoid and minimize the impacts of the confluence of two stream channels just to the west. In addition we revised the fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1 and added headwalls to minimize the length of channel impacts. Lastly, it is important to note that we also met with Monte Matthews on December 9, 2005 to discuss all of the proposed wetland impacts associated with Gabel Farms including the Green Level to Durham Road and Morrisville Parkway impacts and assured Mr. Matthrews that we have made every effort to minimize impacts.
