RE: Request for Neuse Buffer Compliance
Meadow Wood Condominiums (formerly Stone Manor at Hlghwooo S
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Edwards:
On September 1, 2005 a letter from your office was received withdrawing a permit
application for the subject site. Previously, in July 2005 an office meeting was held with
Ms. Debbie Edwards in which corrected diffuse flow worksheets were requested. The
attached submittal contains the corrected worksheets as well as corrected information
meant to replace the initial submittal. On behalf of Town & Country Developers of
Raleigh, Inc. (current property owner), we hereby request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the
Neuse Buffer Rules for proposed impacts resulting from the installation of a proposed
sanitary sewer line and a road widening. A Pre-construction Notification Application
(PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
Site Location
The project site is located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue (SR 2030) approximately
500 feet south of the I-440 underpass. Figure 1 shows the location of the site on a USGS
topographic quadrangle.
Impacts & Minimization
The proposed plan minimizes impacts to the Neuse River Buffers by proposing
perpendicular crossings. No impacts are proposed to any jurisdictional features on the
property. Proposed impacts on site amount to 2,049 square feet of buffer impacts due to
perpendicular crossing of the buffers. The road widening of Atlantic Avenue is required

by the City of Raleigh. This widening will convert existing pervious fill slope area to
impervious asphalt road cover. The proposed sanitary sewer impact will tie into an
existing manhole adjacent to Meadowfield Drive.
The applicant proposes no impacts of jurisdictional feature. Buffer impacts are due to
transportation and sanitary sewer infrastructure requirements imposed by the City of
Raleigh. Even those impacts have been designed to take advantage of existing road and
sanitary sewer infrastructure during construction to minimize disturbances. The applicant
proposes no impacts to the two channels on site.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms 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 applicant proposes
impacting the Neuse River Buffers in two locations. Impact #1 will result in 1,362 square
feet of impacts due to road widening required by the City of Raleigh. The impacts within
Page 3 of 8
Impact 1 are to an area that is currently the fill slopes of the existing road. That is to sayy that
the proposed impacts are due to converting an area that is currently grassed to an impervious
cover (asphalt). Impact #2 will result in 687 square feet of impact due to requirements for
tyint; into an existing sanitary sewer line. No other buffer impacts are proposed. No impacts
to streams or wetlands are proposed.
2. Individually list wetland impacts below:

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 avoided impacts to jurisdictional features on site. As described in IV. 1.
(above) buffer impacts on site are limited to two areas, detailed in X (below). Further, the
applicant proposes to take advantage of existing transportation facility corridor infrastructure,
particularly existing fill slope, to further minimize impacts to buffers and completely avoid
impacts to jurisdictional features on site.
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 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.
Page 5 of 8
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.
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts
and are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." No impacts are proposed to
jurisdictional features therefore no mitigation is proposed. If for some reason buffer
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.btm. 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): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
Page 6 of 8
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
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 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .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.
Impact 1- Road Widening
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required
Mitigation

2 459 1.5 N/A
Total 687 N/A
* Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
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.
Page 7 of 8
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts and
are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." If for some reason buffer mitigation is
required the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
Proposed impervious surface area on the site exceeds 30%. However, none of the proposed
impacts on site require a 401 Water Quality Certification, so the applicant is not required to
submit a stormwater management plan. All run-off from the proposed road widening will be
diverted to existing stormwater conveyances. Stormwater generated onsite will be held in an
under"ound system and then the first inch will be routed to diffuse flow devices prior to
entering the buffer.
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.
The proposed project will tie into existing City of Raleigh sanitary sewer lines.
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).
Applicant/Agent's Signature Date
(Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

NOTICE OF WITHDRAWL
Dear Mr. Alvis:
On April 13, 2005, you requested a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for your project. We wrote to you on April 22, 2005 discussing concerns that we
have regarding the design of the project and stating that it would be placed on hold for three weeks
giving you time to address DWQ's concerns. As of today, DWQ has not received a response to this
request. Therefore, your file is hereby considered withdrawn and will not be reviewed until DWQ's
earlier concerns are addressed. Once you have collected sufficient information to have a complete
application (please see our April 22, 2005 letter for the missing information), you will need to reapply
for DWQ approval. This includes submitting a complete application package with the appropriate
fee.
Please be aware that you have no authorization under Section 401 of the Clear Water Act for this
activity and any work done within waters of the state would be a violation of North Carolina General
Statuses and Administrative Code. Please call Mr. Ian McMillan at 919-715-4631 if you have any
questions or concerns.

RE: Request for Neuse Buffer Compliance
Meadow Wood Condominiums (formerly Stone Manor at Highwoods)
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Edwards:
On September 1, 2005 a letter from your office was received withdrawing a permit
application for the subject site. Previously, in July 2005 an office meeting was held with
Ms. Debbie Edwards in which corrected diffuse flow worksheets were requested. The
attached submittal contains the corrected worksheets as well as corrected information
meant to replace the initial submittal. On behalf of Town & Country Developers of
Raleigh, Inc. (current property owner), we hereby request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the
Neuse Buffer Rules for proposed impacts resulting from the installation of a proposed
sanitary sewer line and a road widening. A Pre-construction Notification Application
(PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
Site Location
The project site is located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue (SR 2030) approximately
500 feet south of the I-440 underpass. Figure 1 shows the location of the site on a USGS
topographic quadrangle.
Impacts & Minimization
The proposed plan minimizes impacts to the Neuse River Buffers by proposing
perpendicular crossings. No impacts are proposed to any jurisdictional features on the
property. Proposed impacts on site amount to 2,049 square feet of buffer impacts due to
perpendicular crossing of the buffers. The road widening of Atlantic Avenue is required

by the City of Raleigh. This widening will convert existing pervious fill slope area to
impervious asphalt road cover. The proposed sanitary sewer impact will tie into an
existing manhole adjacent to Meadowfield Drive.
The applicant proposes no impacts of jurisdictional features. Buffer impacts are due to
transportation and sanitary sewer infrastructure requirements imposed by the City of
Raleigh. Even those impacts have been designed to take advantage of existing road and
sanitary sewer infrastructure during construction to minimize disturbances. The applicant
proposes no impacts to the two channels on site.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark
Environmental Scientist

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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms 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 applicant proposes
impacting the Neuse River Buffers in two locations. Impact #1 will result in 1,362 square
feet of impacts due to road widening required by the City of Raleigh. The impacts within
Page 3 of 8
Impact I are to an area that is currently the fill slopes of the existing road. That is to say that
the proposed impacts are due to converting an area that is currently grassed to an impervious
cover asphalt). Impact #2 will result in 687 square feet of impact due to requirements for
t n}_ng into an existing awry sewer line. No other buffer impacts are proposed. No impacts
to streams or wetlands arc proposed.

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 avoided impacts to jurisdictional features on site. As described in IV. 1.
(above), buffer impacts on site are limited to two areas, detailed in X (below). Further, the
applicant proposes to take advantage of existing transportation facility corridor infrastructure,
particularly existing fill slope, to further minimize impacts to buffers and completely avoid
impacts to jurisdictional features on site.
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 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.
Page 5 of 8
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/stnngid 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.
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts
and are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." No impacts are proposed to
jurisdictional features therefore no mitigation is proposed. If for some reason buffer
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.btm. 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): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?

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 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify. )9
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.
Impact 1- Road WideninIZ
Zone* Impact

additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
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 2B .0242 or.0260.
Page 7 of 8
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts and
are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." If for some reason buffer mitigation is
required the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
Proposed impervious surface area on the site exceeds 30%. However, none of the proposed
impacts on site require a 401 Water Quality Certification, so the applicant is not required to
submit a stormwater management plan. All run-off from the proposed road widening will be
diverted to existing stormwater conveyances. Stormwater generated onsite will be held in an
underground system and then the first inch will be routed to diffuse flow devices prior to
entering the buffer.
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.
The proposed project will tie into existing City of Raleigh sanitary sewer lines.
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).

RE: Request for Neuse Buffer Compliance
Meadow Wood Condominiums (formerly Stone Manor at Highwoods)
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Edwards:
On September 1, 2005 a letter from your office was received withdrawing a permit
application for the subject site. Previously, in July 2005 an office meeting was held with
Ms. Debbie Edwards in which corrected diffuse flow worksheets were requested. The
attached submittal contains the corrected worksheets as well as corrected information
meant to replace the initial submittal. On behalf of Town & Country Developers of
Raleigh, Inc. (current property owner), we hereby request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the
Neuse Buffer Rules for proposed impacts resulting from the installation of a proposed
sanitary sewer line and a road widening. A Pre-construction Notification Application
(PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
Site Location
The project site is located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue (SR 2030) approximately
500 feet south of the I-440 underpass. Figure 1 shows the location of the site on a USGS
topographic quadrangle.
Impacts & Minimization
The proposed plan minimizes impacts to the Neuse River Buffers by proposing
perpendicular crossings. No impacts are proposed to any jurisdictional features on the
property. Proposed impacts on site amount to 2,049 square feet of buffer impacts due to
perpendicular crossing of the buffers. The road widening of Atlantic Avenue is required

by the City of Raleigh. This widening will convert existing pervious fill slope area to
impervious asphalt road cover. The proposed sanitary sewer impact will tie into an
existing manhole adjacent to Meadowfield Drive.
The applicant proposes no impacts of jurisdictional features. Buffer impacts are due to
transportation and sanitary sewer infrastructure requirements imposed by the City of
Raleigh. Even those impacts have been designed to take advantage of existing road and
sanitary sewer infrastructure during construction to minimize disturbances. The applicant
proposes no impacts to the two channels on site.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark
Environmental Scientist

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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms 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 applicant proposes
impacting the Neuse River Buffers in two locations. Impact #1 will result in 1,362 square
feet of impacts due to road widening required by the City of Raleigh. The impacts within
Page 3 of 8
Impact 1 are to an area that is currently the fill slopes of the existing road. That is to say that
the proposed impacts are due to converting an area that is currently grassed to an impervious
cover _(asphalt . Impact #2 will result in 687 square feet of impact due to requirements for
tag into an existing sanitary sewer line. No other buffer impacts are proposed. No impacts
to streams or wetlands are proposed.

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 avoided impacts to jurisdictional features on site. As described in IV. 1.
(above) buffer impacts on site are limited to two areas, detailed in X (below). Further, the
applicant proposes to take advantage of existing transportation facility corridor infrastructure,
particularly existing fill slope to further minimize impacts to buffers and completely avoid
impacts to jurisdictional features on site.
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 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.
Page 5 of 8
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/newetlands/stn-ngide.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.
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts
and are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." No impacts are proposed to
jurisdictional features therefore no mitigation is proposed. If for some reason buffer
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/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): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?

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 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .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.

No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts and
are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." If for some reason buffer mitigation
required the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
Proposed impervious surface area on the site exceeds 30%. However, none of the proposed
impacts on site require a 401 Water Quality Certification, so the applicant is not required to
submit a stormwater management plan. All run-off from the proposed road widening; will be
diverted to existing stormwater conveyances. Stormwater generated onsite will be held in an
underground system and then the first inch will be routed to diffuse flow devices prior to
entering the buffer.
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.
The proposed project will tie into existing City of Raleigh sanitary sewer lines.
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).

NOTICE OF WITHDRAWL
Dear Mr. Alvis:
On April 13, 2005, you requested a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for your project. We wrote to you on April 22, 2005 discussing concerns that we
have regarding the design of the project and stating that it would be placed on hold for three weeks
giving you time to address DWQ's concerns. As of today, DWQ has not received a response to this
request. Therefore, your file is hereby considered withdrawn and will not be reviewed until DWQ's
earlier concerns are addressed. Once you have collected sufficient information to have a complete
application (please see our April 22, 2005 letter for the missing information), you will need to reapply
for DWQ approval. This includes submitting a complete application package with the appropriate
fee.
Please be aware that you have no authorization under Section 401 of the Clear Water Act for this
activity and any work done within waters of the state would be a violation of North Carolina General
Statuses and Administrative Code. Please call Mr. Ian McMillan at 919-715-4631 if you have any
questions or concerns.

RE: Request for Neuse Buffer Compliance
Meadow Wood Condominiums (formerly Stone Manor at Highwoods)
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Edwards:
On September 1, 2005 a letter from your office was received withdrawing a permit
application for the subject site. Previously, in July 2005 an office meeting was held with
Ms. Debbie Edwards in which corrected diffuse flow worksheets were requested. The
attached submittal contains the corrected worksheets as well as convected information
meant to replace the initial submittal. On behalf of Town & Country Developers of
Raleigh, Inc. (current property owner), we hereby request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the
Neuse Buffer Rules for proposed impacts resulting from the installation of a proposed
sanitary sewer line and a road widening. A Pre-construction Notification Application
(PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
Site Location
The project site is located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue (SR 2030) approximately
500 feet south of the I-440 underpass. Figure 1 shows the location of the site on a USGS
topographic quadrangle.
Impacts & Minimization
The proposed plan minimizes impacts to the Neuse River Buffers by proposing
perpendicular crossings. No impacts are proposed to any jurisdictional features on the
property. Proposed impacts on site amount to 2,049 square feet of buffer impacts due to
perpendicular crossing of the buffers. The road widening of Atlantic Avenue is required

by the City of Raleigh. This widening will convert existing pervious fill slope area to
impervious asphalt road cover. The proposed sanitary sewer impact will tie into an
existing manhole adjacent to Meadowfield Drive.
The applicant proposes no impacts of jurisdictional features. Buffer impacts are due to
transportation and sanitary sewer infrastructure requirements imposed by the City of
Raleigh. Even those impacts have been designed to take advantage of existing road and
sanitary sewer infrastructure during construction to minimize disturbances. The applicant
proposes no impacts to the two channels on site.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark

delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms 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 applicant proposes
impacting the Neuse River Buffers in two locations. Impact #1 will result in 1,362 square
feet of impacts due to road widening required by the City of Raleigh. The impacts within
Page 3 of 8
Impact 1 are to an area that is currently the fill slopes of the existing road That is to say that
the proposed impacts are due to converting an area that is currently grassed to an impervious
cover (asphalt). Impact #2 will result in 687 square feet of impact due to requirements for
t ing into an existing sanitary sewer line. No other buffer impacts are proposed No impacts
to streams or wetlands are proposed.

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 avoided impacts to jurisdictional features on site. As described in IV. 1.
(above), buffer impacts on site are limited to two areas, detailed in X (below). Further, the
applicant proposes to take advantage of existing t_ransportation facility corridor infrastructure,
particularly existing fill slope, to further minimize impacts to buffers and completely avoid
impacts to jurisdictional features on site.
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 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.
Page 5 of 8
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.ne.us/ncwetlands/stn-ngid e.html.
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.
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts
and are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." No impacts are proposed to
jurisdictional features therefore no mitigation is proposed. If for some reason buffer
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.btm. 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): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
Page 6 of 8
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
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
(Meuse), 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.
Impact 1- Road Widening
Zone* impact

additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
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 2B .0242 or.0260.
Page 7 of 8
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts and
are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." If for some reason buffer mitigation is
required the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
Proposed impervious surface area on the site exceeds 30%. However, none of the proposed
impacts on site require a 401 Water Quality Certification, so the applicant is not required to
submit a stormwater management plan. All run-off from the proposed road widening will be
diverted to existing stormwater conveyances. Stormwater generated onsite will be held in an
underground system and then the first inch will be routed to diffuse flow devices prior to
entering the buffer.
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.
The proposed project will tie into existing City of Raleigh sanitary sewer lines.
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 F1 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).

The bypass for the above mentioned project is a catch basin with two invert
outs. The bottom invert out discharges to the level spreader. The top invert
out discharges to the velocity dissipater. The invert out that is discharging to
the velocity dissipater is set at the lyear storm elevation.
The road widening for the above mentioned project is diverting the storm
runoff to existing storm drainage.

Dear Ms. Edwards:
On September 1, 2005 a letter from your office was received withdrawing a permit
application for the subject site. Previously, in July 2005 an office meeting was held with
Ms. Debbie Edwards in which corrected diffuse flow worksheets were requested. The
attached submittal contains the corrected worksheets as well as corrected information
meant to replace the initial submittal. On behalf of Town & Country Developers of
Raleigh, Inc. (current property owner), we hereby request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the
Neuse Buffer Rules for proposed impacts resulting from the installation of a proposed
sanitary sewer line and a road widening. A Pre-construction Notification Application
(PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
Site Location
The project site is located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue (SR 2030) approximately
500 feet south of the I-440 underpass. Figure 1 shows the location of the site on a USGS
topographic quadrangle.
Impacts & Minimization
The proposed plan minimizes impacts to the Neuse River Buffers by proposing
perpendicular crossings. No impacts are proposed to any jurisdictional features on the
property. Proposed impacts on site amount to 2,049 square feet of buffer impacts due to
perpendicular crossing of the buffers. The road widening of Atlantic Avenue is required

by the City of Raleigh. This widening will convert existing pervious fill slope area to
impervious asphalt road cover. The proposed sanitary sewer impact will tie into an
existing manhole adjacent to Meadowfield Drive.
The applicant proposes no impacts of jurisdictional features. Buffer impacts are due to
transportation and sanitary sewer infrastructure requirements imposed by the City of
Raleigh. Even those impacts have been designed to take advantage of existing road and
sanitary sewer infrastructure during construction to minimize disturbances. The applicant
proposes no impacts to the two channels on site.

IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). 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.
A site meeting was held with Ms. Jennifer Burdette (formerly of the USACE) on the 29`!' of
October 2004. A site meetinp- was held with NC DWQ on the 23`a of October 2004. Both
agencies confirmed our delineation, but we have not yet received confirmation letters.
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.
The applicant does not anticipate any additional work resulting in further environmental impacts.
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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms 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 applicant proposes
impacting the Neuse River Buffers in two locations. Impact #1 will result in 1,362 square
feet of impacts due to road widening required by the City of Raleigh. The impacts within
Page 3 of 8
Impact 1 are to an area that is currently the fill slopes of the existing road. That is to say that
the proposed impacts are due to converting an area that is currently grassed to an impervious
cover asphalt). Impact #2 will result in 687 square feet of impact due to requirements for
t ling into an existing sanitary sewer line. No other buffer impacts are proposed. No impacts
to streams or wetlands are proposed.
2. Individually list wetland impacts below:

NA NA NA NA NA NA
* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: mechanized clearing, grading, fill,
excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.
** 100-Year floodplains are identified through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM), or FEMA-approved local floodplain maps. Maps are available through the FEMA Map Service Center at 1-800-358-9616, or
online at http://www.fema.gov.
*** List a wetland type that best describes wetland to be impacted (e.g., freshwater/saltwater marsh, forested wetland, beaver pond,
Carolina Bay, bog, etc.) Indicate if wetland is isolated (determination of isolation to be made by USACE only).
List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 acres
Total area of wetland impact proposed: 0 acres

dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightcning, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.us2s.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mapquest.com, etc.).

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 avoided impacts to jurisdictional features on site. As described in IV. 1.
(above)buffer impacts on site are limited to two areas, detailed in X (below). Further, the
lin icant proposes to take advantage of existing transportation facility corridor infrastructure,
particularly existing fl slope to further minimize impacts to buffers and completely avoid
impacts to jurisdictional features on site.
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 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.
Page 5 of 8
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/ncwet]ands/strmgide.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.
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts
and are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." No impacts are proposed to
jurisdictional features therefore no mitigation is proposed. If for some reason buffer
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/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): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
Page 6 of 8
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
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.
Impact 1- Road Widening
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 913 3 N/A
2 449 1.5 N/A

2 459 1.5 N/A
Total 687 N/A
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
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 2B .0242 or .0260.
Page 7 of 8
No mitigation is proposed. The proposed buffer impacts are due to perpendicular impacts and
are therefore considered "allowable without mitigation." If for some reason buffer mitigation is
required the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
Proposed impervious surface area on the site exceeds 30%. However, none of the proposed
impacts on site require a 401 Water Quality Certification, so the applicant is not required to
submit a stormwater management plan. All run-off from the proposed road widening will be
diverted to existing stormwater conveyances. Stormwater generated onsite will be held in an
underground system and then the first inch will be routed to diffuse flow devices prior to
entering the buffer.
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.
The proposed project will tie into existing City of Raleigh sanitary sewer lines.
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).

August 26, 2005
DWQ # 20050628
Wake County
On April 13, 2005, you requested a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for your project. We wrote to you on April 22, 2005 discussing concerns that we
have regarding the design of the project and stating that it would be placed on hold for three weeks
giving you time to address DWQ's concerns. As of today, DWQ has not received a response to this
request. Therefore, your file is hereby considered withdrawn and will not be reviewed until DWQ's
earlier concerns are addressed. Once you have collected sufficient information to have a complete
application (please see our April 22, 2005 letter for the missing information), you will need to reapply
for DWQ approval. This includes submitting a complete application package with the appropriate
fee.
Please be aware that you have no authorization under Section 401 of the Clear Water Act for this
activity and any work done within waters of the state would be a violation of North Carolina General
Statuses and Administrative Code. Please call Mr. Ian McMillan at 919-715-4631 if you have any
questions or concerns.
