4. Construction Stonnwater Permit NCGO10000
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 (NCGO10000) 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
htt12://h2o.eftr.state.ne.us/su/Forms Docu»tents.htm.
5. Temporary Fills
All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to the
original grade, including each stream's original cross sectional dimensions, planform
pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile after construction is complete or within 6
months of the establishment of the crossing, which ever is sooner, and the various sites
shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except for the maintenance areas of
permanent utility crossings) and restored to prevent erosion. If the crossings are not
completely removed and restored as described above within the specified time above,
additional written approval from this Office must be obtained to modify this condition.
6. 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.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
7. Sewer Systems
The project shall comply with 15A NCAC 2H .0219(i)(2)(G) and all other State, Federal
and local sewer system regulations.
8. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices
Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications
governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards:

a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Mazzual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion
control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified
in the most recent version of the North Carolhia Sediment and Erosion Control
Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and
waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits
associated with the project.
9. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All
construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
10. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in
wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored
within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the
project.

Todd, C'Yv l d ll'31(?
In consideling the options available to us in that portion of the land plan, we were
unable to find a satisfactory layout that avoided the impact to that section of
wetlands without an inordinate loss of lots.
We expect that our entrance road, Birchwood Park Drive, will carry a substantial
i amount of traffic, not only from this subdivision, but also from the existing
subdivisions to the north, west, and south. The safety of the drivers and residents
l was a prime design consideration. To that end we have proposed a median divided
street, with no lots having direct driveway access, for a significant portion of this
i? road.
i We had looked at placing Suncridge Court on the other side of the wetlands, one
row of lots off Grandale Road. Unfortunately this left us with an unsafe intersection
separation ftom the intrrsection of Grandale Road and Birchwood Park Drive.
Placing the intersection as currently proposed left a substantial stacking distance at
i the intersection with Grandale for the morning traffic peak, and allows for a safe and
steady movement off of Grandale Drive and into the neighborhood in the evening
peak.
We also felt that the other measures we have voluntarily taken within this
subdivision to protect writer quality, such as an overall density of only 1:6 units per
acre, impervious surface limits of less that 24%, keeping all portions of our lots out of
the Durham stream buff--rs, and increasing our minimum lot sizes on lots abutting
the stream buffers to 12,500 square feet, nearly 40% above the 9,000 square foot
minimum, more than compensated for the impact to this finger of wetlands.

On September 24, 2004, we received an `on-hold' letter requesting additional information for the
proposed Grandale Subdivision. Specifically, the letter requested copies of field notes taken
when determining whether the streams were perennial or intermittent. The streams on-site are
typical of those found in the Triassic area. The stream has a well-defined bed and bank and then
becomes less well defined in the broad or flat areas. I spoke with Mr. Todd Tugwell concerning
the streams on-site and his notes indicate that the USACE considered all streams on-site to
unimportant/intermittent. Please feel free to contact Mr. Tugwell at 876-8441 ext. 26 if you
require additional information. A site meeting with the NC-DWQ has been scheduled for
Monday, October 11, 2004. J "11110y
Item 2 asks whether the sewer line (Impact A-1) can be moved further downstream to reduce
wetland impacts. As detailed in the attached letter, the sewer line impacts cannot be avoided.

Re : Grandale
Wetlands Impact A-1
Todd,
We have looked at two other options for this impact and are unable to realign the
sanitary sewer to further reduce the wetlands impact in this area.
We cannot go further downstream due to the rising topography in that area. There is
a narrow wetlands channel running east to west just below the lots on the end of the
cul de sac. The topography rises significantly on the south side of that channel,
making it very difficult to continue the sewer in that direction. The adjoining.
neighbors were also adamant during the rezoning process that this area remain
undisturbed.
We had previously looked at connecting the sewer from the cut de sac upstream of
Impact A-1, across the smaller tributary coming in from the north east, above the
large pocket of wetlands, to the cul de sac located upstream from Impact A-2.
Unfortunately the existing sewer outfall at Impact A-2 is too shallow to allow this
route to work.

On-Site Evaluation to determine Intermittent or Perennial Stream- EXPRESS REVIEW
PROGRAM
Dear Sir or Madam:
On October 11, 2004, at your request I conducted an on-site evaluation to review one feature
located on the subject property to determine if the stream feature is Intermittent or Perennial.
This feature was evaluated in the field and fish, macrobenthos and amphibians were found in this
feature at the area of proposed impact. The feature is labeled as "G" on the attached maps
initialed by me on October 11, 2004.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "G" on

DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STONA tgTER CRAI'M
On September 10, 2004, we received an `on-hold' letter requesting additional information for the
proposed Grandale Subdivision. Specifically, the letter requested an alternate road alignment in
the northern portion of the property that would potentially reduce the wetland impacts on-site.
The project engineer has provided additional information which we believe supports the
alignment proposed in the original application. Moving the road to the north, as depicted on the
attached map, would necessitate blasting and increased impacts to the stream channel because of
the higher road grade required at this location. Moreover, the alternate route does not meet the
required horizontal minimums, which require shifting the road farther to the west. Moving the
road to the west would subject the adjoining neighbors to increased noise during construction (i.e.
blasting) as well as glare from headlights following completion of the subdivision. There would
also be a safety and liability risk during construction if the alignment was located in close
proximity to the existing homes. And finally, given the public opposition during the initial re-
zoning request, which took approximately two years to complete, the engineer does not believe
that the City Council would approve a request that would shift the road alignment towards the
adjacent landowners. Please refer to the attached letter from the project engineer for a more
complete discussion of the problems associated with the alternate route. In order to satisfy
mitigation requirements, the applicant proposes payment to the NCEEP for 0.5 acres. Feel free to
call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Todd Preuninger

Re : Grandale Wetlands Impact
Centex Homes, Durham County
Dear Todd :
The alternate route of Birchwood Park Drive suggested by the Corps was made
without benefit of the topographic information for the project. In order to make the
wetlands mapping more legible, we typically leave the topo information off the
impact maps. Pushing Birchwood Park Drive to the north in order to miss the
wetlands, also pushes the road further up a significant slope on the other side of the
creek. The existing grade at the high point of the alternate route is approximately 22
feet higher than the grade of the high point of the current alignment. A soil boring in
proximity to the alternate route high point indicated rock at a depth of approximately
5 feet. Given the vertical alignment requirements necessary to insure sight and
stopping distances along this collector street, we would estimate a cut of
approximately 15 vertical feet at the high point along the alternate route, of which
approximately 10 vertical feet would be through solid rock. The alternate alignment
would also require that the road grade at the creek crossing be raised approximately 6
feet vertically, which would increase the length of the culvert and the associated fill
slopes by a total of 24 feet horizontally, significantly increasing the impact to the
channel and requiring some impact to the upper end of the wetlands.
The horizontal alignment of the proposed alternate route would not meet the
required minimums. The route would need to be pushed further to the west, placing
the road and its associated clearing, blasting and earthwork in much closer proximity
to the Fairfield neighborhood adjoining the property on the west. This construction
activity, as well as the street noise and headlight glare from the completed roadway
would cause a significant problem for the adjoining property owners. Throughout
the rezoning and preliminary subdivision process for this project, the adjoining
neighborhood of Fairfield remained politically active in order to limit any perceived
change in their lifestyles due to the development of this property. Revising the route
of Birchwood Park Drive to this degree would require a change to the development
plan, which was part of the rezoning as well as a change to the preliminary
subdivision plan. These processes could not run concurrently, and each one would

require a public process culminating in a City Council hearing and vote. I am certain
that the neighbors would be in opposition. My opinion is that these two processes
would take over a year to complete, and I also believe that the City Council would
ultimately deny the request. The original rezoning and subdivision approval process
on this project took over two years.
The proposed alternate alignment would also create sightline, driveway and
intersection conditions that are less safe than those created by the original plan. The
blasting and rock excavation necessary to construct the proposed alternate route in
such close proximity to the existing homes of Fairfield would also be a significant
safety and liability risk.
The original transportation plan for the area called for the extension of the existing
street stub from the Fairfield neighborhood to be extended across the creek to
connect to the street stub of Hamilton Way on the east side of the site, approximately
1200 feet downstream of the proposed crossing. This is in addition to the crossing
we are currently proposing. We were able to convince the staff, the Planning Board
and the Council that the additional crossing was unnecessary. We believe that this
was a significant minimization of the wetland impacts that has likely not been
considered by the Corps.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments that you or the
Corps may have regarding this response.

RE: Request for NWP 12 & 39 and 401-Certification
Grandale Subdivision pg V GROUP
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina°
Dear Mr. Tugwell and Mr. Dorney:
WATER QUALITY SEC (ION
On behalf of Centex Homes (current property owner), we hereby request authorization
from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide Permits 12 and 39
for proposed impacts to wetlands and stream channels that will result from the
construction of a residential subdivision. We also request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the
associated water quality certification for NWP's 12 and 39. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
The +/- 135-acre property is located approximately 2000' northwest of the intersection of
Scott King Road (SR 1103) and Herndon Road (SRI 100? Please see the attached USGS
site vicinity map.
A detailed wetland delineation was performed on the property in 2002 and was approved
by the USACE in April 2004 (Action ID # 200221360). No permits have been requested
or issued for this parcel.
Permanent impacts consist of 139 linear feet of important, perennial channel, 573 linear
feet of unimportant, intermittent channel, and 0.294 acre of wetlands due to the
construction of roads and lot fill. Temporary impacts include 92 linear feet of channel
(31 Lf, of important channel) and 0.2617 acre of wetlands for a sewer easement. Because
impacts to the perennial/important channel are less than 150 linear feet, we do not believe

mitigation should be required by the USACE or the NC-DWQ. Wetland impacts are
greater than. 0.1 acres, therefore the applicant proposes payment to the EEP or
preservation of the remaining wetlands in lieu of payment to the EEP to satisfy mitigation
requirements. Please note that following construction the site will contain less than 24%
impervious, therefore we do not believe that a pre-approved stormwater plan is required
by DWQ.

5. 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 stormwater requirement, etc.): NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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.
The applicant requested a detailed delineation prior to site plan development in an effort to
avoid impacts where possible The proposed site plan will permanently impact 0.294 acres of the
8.13 acres of wetlands on-site Because two stream channels dissect the property, impacts to the
channels cannot be avoided in order provide access to the entire site. However, the applicant
will cross the stream channels at right angles to minimize impacts.
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.
Page 5 of 8
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP 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.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
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 applicant intends to the preserve the remaining 8+ acres of wetlands on-site
and because important channel impacts are less than 150 linear feet, we do not believe
mitigation should be required However, if mitigation is required, the applicant proposes
payment to the NC-EEP
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htni. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 NA 3 NA
2 NA 1.5 NA
Total NA NA NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Gone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
Page 7 of 8
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0242 or.0260.

wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
The project will tie into an existing sanitary sewer.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Mr. Gray Methven

Suite 400
Raleigh, NC 27612
Dear Mr. Methven:
On November 18, 2005, Eric Kulz, and Amy Chapman of the Division of Water Quality
conducted an onsite inspection of the Grandale Subdivision project.
During the site visit, the investigators observed violations of the State water quality
standards and the 401 Water Quality Certification with impacts to an unnamed tributary to
Northeast Creek onsite. The inspection revealed violations of a sediment basin placed in a live
stream; a submerged manhole adjacent to a stream; and a temporary crossing that had not been
piped, that was lacking a provision for aquatic life. In addition, the temporary crossing did not
appear to be temporary. The road crossing is a main thoroughfare through a portion of the
subdivision. These activities resulted in impacts to a stream beyond what was authorized in the
401 Water Quality Certification.
During the site visit, the investigators took photographs and made observations of the
respective stream and streamside/riparian buffer impacts.
Impact Area Al: The stream crossing was not piped and lacked provisions for aquatic life.
The crossing also did not appear to be temporary as it was approved by DWQ on January 05, 2005.
Also, a sewer manhole was completely submerged adjacent to the stream.
Impact Area A2: The sediment basin was placed in the middle of a live stream. DWQ did not
approve the basin placement. In addition, it was apparent that maintenance had not been performed
on the sediment basin, which was causing sediment to discharge downstream.
As a result of the site inspection and file review the following below listed violations are
noted or merit additional information requests: 1) 401 Water Quality Certification Condition
violations, and 2) Preclusion of Best Usage.
Item 1. 401 Water Quality Certification (DWQ Project No. 2004-0206) Conditions
On January 05, 2005, a 401 Water Quality Certification (DWQ Project No. 04-1491) was issued
for the subject tract. The November 28, 2005, site visit confirmed violations of the following
401 Water Quality Certification condition items:
1. Standard Erosion and Sediment Control Practices

a. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications
governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards:
b. Erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North
Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
c. Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
d. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
e. Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids or Fill
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-construction Notice Application.. All
construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of State water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in
wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored
within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
Item 2. Preclusion of Best Usage
A DWQ site visit and file review confirmed that the temporary road crossing was not
piped and was not allowing for aquatic life passage.The installation of the road crossing
represents a stream standard violation. Specifically, 15A NCAC 213 .0211 (2) explains the
preclusion of best usage, which includes aquatic life propagation, biological integrity, wildlife,
and secondary recreation, and agriculture represent a water quality standard violation.
This Office requires that violations, as detailed above, be abated immediately. Also please note,
these violations and any future violations are subject to civil penalty assessment of up to
$25,000.00 per day for each violation. The intent of the DWQ is to recommend enforcement
for the above-cited violations. This Office requests that you respond to this letter, in writing,
within 20 days of receipt of this Notice. Your response should also address the following items:
1) You should clearly discuss your efforts to come into full compliance with the 401
Certification. You should also detail the events that resulted in your non-compliance with
the above-mentioned certification conditions.

Grandale Subdivision
Page 3of3
March 28, 2006
2) Please provide a plan detailing how the sediment basin will be removed from the
stream. The plan should include a detailed timeline for how the basin will be removed
without further impacts of the stream. Please keep in mind the sediment basin and
corresponding sediment should be removed by hand to prevent further impacts to the
stream.
3) Also, materials to be removed should be placed in uplands outside of the floodplain.
(Note: you may need to modify your sedimentation and erosion control plan to
accommodate this work). Please indicate in your response a schedule with dates detailing
when this will be accomplished.
4) Please provide a plan for removing the temporary road crossing. The plan should
include a detailed timeline for how the temporary road crossing will be removed without
further impacts of the stream
Accordingly, if the plans do not match those authorized in the January 05, 2005; 401
Water Quality Certification, it is required by copy of this letter that you request a
modification of your 401 Certification.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This Office is considering sending a recommendation
for enforcement to the Director of the Division of Water Quality regarding these issues and any
future/continued violations that may be encountered. Also, your above-mentioned response to this
correspondence will be considered in this process. Further, this office requires that violations, as
detailed above, be abated immediately. It should also be noted, these violations and any future
violations are subject to civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation.
Should you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact Cyndi Karoly at (919) 733-
9721.

Morning Danny.
1 had gone to the Grandale S/D(DWQ#2004-1491) Site with Eric Kulz of the RRO and Joe Pearce of Durham County to do an inspection and we found several
violations. Durham County is doing their own NOV and I'm getting a copy of that today. I'm also getting a copy of the file from the RRO today.
There are 401 violations, but you'll see in one of the pictures that a sediment basin was placed in a live stream. Of course this is a 401 violation, but would this
not be a violation of NCGO10000 since the stormwater control was inadequately installed?
In picture 33 you can see a sediment trap that was placed in a live stream. Eric talked to Ethan with Centex homes last night. Ethan claims that the sediment
pond is within the impact area for the 401 certified road crossing. Ethan was told by Eric that the impact area was for a piped crossing and not for a scd trap. In
Pic 30 you can see what the stream looks like upstream from the road crossing and scd basin.
At a separate road crossing at the same site, Centex put in a "temporary" road crossing over a perennial stream. That "temporary" crossing has been in place
over 30 days per Durham County. Myself and one other Durham County guy got in the stream and tried to look through the rip-rap. It did not look like there
was a pipe at all at this crossing. Pic 35 shows the crossing. Pic 36 shows downstream of the crossing.
Would die NOV come from your office, or would the RRO do it? We were all unclear about it.
Thanks!

Todd,
In considering the options available to us in that portion of the land plan, we were
unable to find a satisfaKory layout that avoided the impact to that section of
wetlands without an inordinate loss of lots.
We expect that our entrance road, Birchwood Park Drive, will carry a substantial
amount of traffic, not only from this subdivision, but also from the existing
subdivisions to the north, west, and south. The safety of the drivers and residents
was a prime design consideration. To that end we have proposed a median divided
street, with no lots having direct driveway access, for a significant portion of this
road.
We had looked at placing Sutteridge Court on the other side of the wetlands, one
row of lots off Grandale Road. Unfortunately this left us with an unsafe intersection
separation from the intersection of Grandale Road and Birchwood Park Drive.
Placing the intersection as currently proposed left a substantial stacking distance at
the intersection with Grandale for the morning traffic peak, and allows for a safe and
steady movement off of Grandale Drive and into the neighborhood in the evening
peak.
We also felt that the other measures we have voluntarily taken within this
subdivision to protect w;aer quality, such as an overall density of only 1:6 units per
acre, impervious surface limits of less that 240/a, keeping all portions of our lots out of
the Durham stream buff--rs, and increasing our minimum lot sizes on "lots abutting
the stream buffers to 12,500 square feet, nearly 40% above the 9,000 square foot
minimurn, more than compensated for the impact to this finger of wetlands.

Dear Ms. Karoly:
On September 24, 2004, we received an `on-hold' letter requesting additional information for the
proposed Grandale Subdivision. Specifically, the letter requested copies of field notes taken
when determining whether the streams were perennial or intermittent. The streams on-site are
typical of those found in the Triassic area. The stream has a well-defined bed and bank and then
becomes less well defined in the broad or flat areas. I spoke with Mr. Todd Tugwell concerning
the streams on-site and his notes indicate that the USACE considered all streams on-site to
unimportant/intermittent. Please feel free to contact Mr. Tugwell at 876-8441 ext. 26 if you
require additional information. A site meeting with the NC-DWQ has been scheduled for
Monday, October 11, 2004.
Item 2 asks whether the sewer line (Impact A-1) can be moved further downstream to reduce
wetland impacts. As detailed in the attached letter, the sewer line impacts cannot be avoided.
Sincerely,
// Todd Preuninger

Re : Grandale
Wetlands Impact A-1
Todd,
We have looked at two other options for this impact and are unable to realign the
sanitary sewer to further reduce the wetlands impact in this area.
We cannot go further downstream due to the rising topography in that area. There is
a narrow wetlands channel running east to west just below the lots on the end of the
cul de sac. The topography rises significantly on the south side of that channel,
making it very difficult to continue the sewer in that direction. The adjoining.
neighbors were also adamant during the rezoning process that ,this area remain
undisturbed.
We had previously looked at connecting the sewer from the cut de sac upstream of
Impact A-1, across the smaller tributary coming in from the north east, above the
large pocket of wetlands, to the cul de sac located upstream from Impact A-2.
Unfortunately the existing sewer outfall at Impact A-2 is too shallow to allow this
route to work.

REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Methven:
1
On September 3, 2004, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) i eived your application dated September
3, 2004 to permanently impact 0.294 acres of wetlands and 712?eet of streams to construct the proposed
subdivision. The DWQ has determined that your application was?incomplete and/or provided inaccurate
information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your
application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we
receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your
application as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0506 and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we
receive this additional information. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to
review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Intermittent/Perennial Stream Calls
Please provide copies of field notes taken when determining whether streams were intermittent or
perennial. Please make sure these notes are cross-referenced such that we could use them to verify
stream calls on the property using the application materials provided. Alternatively, please contact
us to schedule a field visit to confirm the stream calls.
2. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Please investigate whether Impact #A-1 can be reconfigured to minimize wetland impacts. For
example, can the line be placed further downstream near the confluence?
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing
and Mike Horan of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weekZ,
we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as
withdrawn.

RE: Request for NWP 12 & 39 and 401-Certification WFrW108
Grandale Subdivision 1461G
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina Sep 0 0
Dear Mr. Tugwell and Mr. Dorney:/
On behalf of Centex Homes (current property owner), we hereby request authorization
from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide Permits 12 and 39
for proposed impacts to wetlands and stream channels that will result from the
construction of a residential subdivision. We also request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the
associated water quality certification for NWT's 12 and 39. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
The +/- 135-acre property is located approximately 2000' northwest of the intersection of
Scott King Road (SR 1103) and Herndon Road (SRI 100} Please see the attached USGS
site vicinity map.
A detailed wetland delineation was performed on the property in 2002 and was approved
by the USACE in April 2004 (Action ID # 200221360). No permits have been requested
or issued for this parcel.
Permanent impacts consist of 139 linear feet of important, perennial channel, 573 linear
feet of unimportant, intermittent channel, and 0.294 acre of wetlands due to the
construction of roads and lot fill. Temporary impacts include 92 linear feet of channel
(31 l.f of important channel) and 0.2617 acre of wetlands for a sewer easement. Because
impacts to the perennial/important channel are less than 150 linear feet, we do not believe

mitigation should be required by the USACE or the NC-DWQ. Wetland impacts are
greater than, 0.1 acres, therefore the applicant proposes payment to the EEP or
preservation of the remaining wetlands in lieu of payment to the EEP to satisfy mitigation
requirements. Please note that following construction the site will contain less than 24%
impervious, therefore we do not believe that a pre-approved stormwater plan is required
by DWQ.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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*imp Pcnlar, development in an effort to
will cross the stream channels at right angles to minimize impacts.
VIII. Mitigation by the DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500 mitigation
than or equal to one ache of impacts to
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 8
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP 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
bttp:/ih2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stn-np-ide.ht ml.
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 applicant intends to the reserve the remaining 8+ acres of wetlands on-site
and because im ortant channel impacts are less than 150 linear feet we do not believe
mitigation should be require d. However if miti ation is required, the applicant proposes
a ent to the NC-EEP.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://12o.enr.state.ne.us/wm/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA

Dear Mr. Methven:
This office has information that you and your firm are responsible for violations of the Durham
City/County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance.
On November 28, 2005, an inspection was performed at the subject site which is located on
Grandale Road in southern Durham County. This inspection was performed under the authority
of the Durham City/County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance, Section 14-68.
The above mentioned inspection revealed that a' land?disturbing activity comprising
approximately 1,713,650 square feet is being undertaken at tbo subject site. This activity is in
violation of the Durham City/County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance. Please note

this square footage includes all phases currently permitted for land-disturbing activities but
does not include the currently unpermitted building lot land-disturbing activities.
For the purpose of clarity, the following violations will be categorized into two sections,
each corresponding to the two independent sedimentation and erosion (S&E) control plans
Approved by this office. The violations that were disclosed are as follows:
ha c - 4:
+ Failure to maintain satisfactorily all temporary and permanent Sedimentation and Erosion
Control measures and facilities during the development of a site, Section 14.62. The
following eroslori control measures were found to be in need of repair/ maintenance or
are not installed as shown on the approved S&E Control Plan:
1. Weep holes on catch basins were not sediment protected.
2. Denuded area leading to Basin # 5 needs re-seeding.
3. Berm wall on Basin # 8 needs repair. The berm wall is lower than the rock weir.
4. Soll on the downstream side of the stream culvert near the wingwall needs
stabillzation
5. Basin # 9 is not (installed at the end of the stormwater pipe.
6. The FES into Basin # 7 could not be located.
7. Basins # I & 12 have FES's extending beyond the basin entrance.
? Failure to obtain a land-disturbing permit from this office prior to beginning a land-disturbing
activity on a tract when more than 12,000 square feet is to be disturbed, Section 14-65. The
streets, Infrastructure, and erosion and sedimentation control device areas were
permitted under the current S&E Control Plan. The building lots currently disturbed
are not part of the approved erosion control-plan and have not been permitted.
In order to correct these violations and bring the subject site into compliance, the following
actions must be taken:
+ Protect weep holes in catch basins with such structure sufficient to restrain sediment
from entering Into the stormwater system.
+ Re-seed denuded area near Basin # 5.
+ Repair berm wall on Basin # 8.
+ Repair silt fence and re-seed denuded banks near stream culvert.
+ Install Basin # 9 at end of stormwater pipe as shown on approved Erosion Control Plan.
+ Install FES to Basin # 7 as shown on approved Erosion Control Plan.
? Remove sections of stormwater pipes in Basins # 1 & 12 to ensure the FES's are near
entrances to these basins.
+ The total area included in all of the disturbed building lots must be quantified and a
S&E control plan submittal and permit application made to this office for this area.
Second submittal bases 313, S - 8:
+ Failure to maintain satisfactorily all temporary and permanent Sedimentation and Erosion
Control measures and facilities during the development of a site, Section 14-62. The
construction sequence prescribed In the approved S&E Control Plan bas not been
followed. More specifically, the site was not to be graded until the erosion control
11/30/2005 08:10 919-560-0740 COUNTY ENGINEERING PAGE 04
measures have been installed as shown on the approved Erosion Control Plan. Cleating
limits as shown on the Plan have been exceeded. In addition, the following erosion
control measures were found to be in need of repair/ maintenance or are not installed as
shown on the approved Erosion Control Plan:
1. Sediment Trap # 7 has Incorrectly installed baffles and no diversion ditches.
2. Sediment Basin # 5 Is too small and has no diversion ditches.
3. Sediment Basin # 4 has not been installed near Fenwick Parkway.
4. Sediment Basin # 3 has not been Installed adjacent to Fenwick Parkway.
5. Erosion Control Plan shows Basin # 2 as a riser basin. Additionally, the outfall
is not properly protected.
? Failure to minimize the extent and duration of disturbance to a lake or natural watercourse
while conducting arty land-disturbing activity in, over, or under said lake or natural
watercourse, Section 14-55 (1), 14-55 (3), 14-58. 14-61. Temporary stream crossing use
has not been plaun,ed and executed so as to minimize impacts to streams. Temporary
stream crossing in Phase Five has been Installed Insufficiently. Temporary stream
crossing in Phase Sir has not been installed at all and has a sediment trap Installed to
the stream channel.
In order to correct these violations and bring the subject site into compliance, the following
actions must be taken:
? Install all erosion control measures as shown on the approved plan before any furtber
clearing activities.
? Submit revised plan details for the two temporary stream crossings. A piped crossing
design is necessary as the additional construction entrances arc not being installed, the
crossings are being used continuously, and the Installed crossing is obstructing the
streamflow and may overtop the crossing during significant min events.
? Repair/ install stream crossings per revised stream crossing details.
? Sediment Trap # 7 heeds to have slit Once baffles toed into slope and needs diversion
ditches installed to divert water Into the trap.
? Re-size Basin # 5 and install diversion ditches to meet requirements as shown on
approved Erosion Control Plan.
? Install Sediment Basins # 3, 4, and corresponding diversion ditches as shown on
approved Erosion Control Plan.
? Outfall from Basin # 2 should be armored to the edge of the disturbance near the woods
and all denuded areas seeded.
A re-inspection will be scheduled directly after the compliance deadline. A re-inspection fee
must be paid prior to the re-inspection. A Re-inspection Fee Form Is attached that contains
specific information relative to your job. A non-payment of a re-inspection fee will result In
the revocation of a permit. Please remit a check to Durham County for the amount shown,
at 120 F. Parrish Street, Law Building, I't floor, Durham, NC 27701.
This office is considering referral of this matter for appropriate enforcement action under the
Durham City/County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance. These actions may include
any combination or all of the following:
