Re: Brame's Crossing Subdivision
Request for NWP 29 & GC 4139 and Neuse Buffer Authorization
Sage Project # 2016.13
On behalf of LGI Homes (owner/applicant) please find attached a complete application and
supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) and North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) that the impacts associated
with the activities described herein may proceed under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 and General
Certification (GC) 4139. A Neuse Buffer Authorization is also requested.
Project Location and Purpose
The proposed project includes the construction of a residential subdivision with associated roads
and utilities which will connect to existing adjacent infrastructure in the area. The +/- 108.04 -acre
project is located northwest of the intersection of NC Highway 56 and Moss Hayes Road in
Creedmoor, NC. The approximate center of the property is located at Latitude: 36.1282100N,
78.647910°W. The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a residential subdivision and
associated utilities to meet the demand for housing in this part of Granville County, NC.
Project Detail
The overall project consists of a single-family residential subdivision with detached residential lots
and construction of associated utilities (e.g. sanitary sewer, roads, etc.). The project is roughly
bisected by a large drainage. The initial phase of the project will include the majority of the
property to the northeast of the site which will be accessed by Moss Hayes Road. A proposed
road crossing of the drainage is required to provide access to the southern portion of the project
and to the proposed sewer pump station which will be required for wastewater disposal. Lots have
been planned for the southern portion of the project only along the main access road. The
remaining portion of the project will likely be developed however a final site plan has not been
developed. Secondary access will be provided to the project by extending an offsite stub road
located to the southeast. The project will include several smaller subdivision roads and cul-de-

sacs. At least five Stormwater Control Devices (SCM)'s are proposed to treat stormwater on-site.
Proposed impacts from road construction and culverting will result in temporary and permanent
impacts to streams, wetlands, and buffers. Utilities for the proposed project will connect to existing
utility lines adjacent to the proposed project boundaries. Heavy equipment typically used for utility
installation projects (e.g. back hoes, bull -dozers, etc.) will be utilized.
No federally threatened or endangered species are listed to occur on the project site or within 1
mile of the site according to the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) Database (see attached July
29, 2019 report).
No historic properties are listed on the project site. Four historic properties and a historic boundary
are located within 1/4 -mile of the Site but are separated from the Site by an existing residential
subdivision. See attached NCSHPO Map (Figure 4).
Project History
The majority of the site is forested or in fallow agricultural fields. A house and farming buildings
exist in the southern portion of the site. Residential subdivisions exist to the south and southwest.
Other properties in the vicinity are primarily forested or in agriculture. A buffer verification was
held on July 29, 2016 with Mr. William Miller (NCDWR) and Mr. Sean Clark of Sage Ecological.
The USACE has not yet confirmed the delineation on the Site.
Avoidance and Minimization
Proposed roads and lots were positioned and aligned so as to avoid impacts to streams, wetlands,
and buffers to the maximum extent practicable. Directional boring will be utilized in order to avoid
impacts to wetlands during wastewater utility line installation. Sewer line will also be placed within
the proposed road crossing to avoid an additional impact. The road crossing will utilize wing walls
to minimize the impacts to the stream, wetlands, and riparian buffers. In addition, open space was
provided around drainages containing jurisdictional streams and buffers. Construction fencing will
be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt
fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from runoff.
Proiect Impacts
The project will incur both permanent and temporary impacts to wetlands, streams and riparian
buffers. Stream and wetland impacts will result from dewatering, road construction, and culverting
activities. Proposed permanent stream impacts total 82 Linear Feet (LF) and permanent wetland
impacts total 0.0656 acre as a result of road culverting/fill. Proposed temporary stream impacts
total 16 LF and temporary wetland impacts total 0.0224 acre as a result of dewatering and land
clearing activities.
The Project is located within the Neuse River Basin. Permanent buffer impacts proposed for the
project include 5,807 Square Feet (ft2) in Zone 1 and 4,899 ft2 in Zone 2 resulting from culvert and
road construction. Temporary buffer impacts proposed for the project include 1,466 ft2 in Zone 1
and 1,105 ft2 in Zone 2 resulting from land clearing associated with the installation of the wing
walls. Overall riparian buffer impacts total 13,277 ft2 (7,273 ft2 in Zone 1, and 6,004 ft2 in Zone 2).

Mitigation
tion
Stream and wetland impacts have been avoided and minimized so that permanent impacts are
less than 150 LF for streams and 0.1 acre of wetlands. Therefore, no mitigation is proposed.
Impacts to the riparian buffer are considered "Allowable" in the Table of Uses and are less than
1/3 acre for the perpendicular road crossing, therefore, no buffer mitigation is proposed.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone].

RE: Brame's Crossing; 2016.13
Dear Sean Clark:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httos://www.fws.aov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode = 3 7,
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water
Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Project No. 2016.13

NCNHDE-9873
No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area
There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the
NCNHP database does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that
the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project
area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our
database.

NOTE: If the proposed project intersects with a conservation/managed area, please contact the landowner directly for additional information. If the project intersects with a Dedicated Nature Preserve
(DNP), Registered Natural Heritage Area (RHA), or Federally -listed species, NCNHP staff may provide additional correspondence regarding the project.
