Shern: M :,,. ~~;_,. _: ~%~i:3i Ac 1 '1 tti". .. ~ ~~;• , °~,'~~ ©n beh2if of the NC ~2 East, LLC, STViRalph Whitehead Associates, Inc. (STV!R ~'v A} in cooperation with IC2 Engineering PLLC (IC2) is submitting a Pre-Constructio.~ Notification (PCN) application form (Attachment A) in accordance with Gene~~al Condition No. 13 and pursuant to U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Section 40^ Nationwide Permit (NWP) #39. NC 42 East, LLC has contracted STV/RWA to be ?h;, actir;g agent and perform wetland-permitting services for this project that is called "42 East." An Agent Certification of Authorization Form is included (Attachment B) and was included in the Request for a Jurisdictional Determination (Attachment D). Acecrlpanying figures related to this permit request are included in Attachment C. The project site is approximately 332.69 acres in size and is located between the towns of Clayton and Flowers on the south side of NC 42. The project site is bounded by NC 42 to tl;e north, and the Neuse River to the south (Attachment C, Figures t and 2). Approximately 14,280 linear feet (lf) of streams and 5.4 acres of freshwater wetlands are located on the project site, as indicated on the Existing Conditions plan (Attachment 1,). NC 42 East, LLC has proposed a road crossing of two tributaries to Mill Creek in order tc access the ,developable upland portions of the property. Proposed plans for the roadway will result in impacts to approximately 293 If of two jurisdictional perennial streams. In addition, impacts to wetlands potentially resulting from site grading, and utility installation will not exceed 0.08 acre. Impacts to regulated riparian buffers will not exceed 0.92 acres. an employee-owned company providing quality service since 1912 STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shem March 2, 2007 Alternatives Analysis Page 2 Previous Master Plan Design The original master plan for the proposed roadway included additional stream crossings within the proposed project site. The project would have involved the filling and piping of Streams A, E, and I, and the filling of Wetlands GG. The original master plan was subsequently revised to eliminate the crossing of Stream I to reduce the proposed impacts. The revised project plan eliminated one of the crossings, and was also designed to avoid certain sensitive areas (including the Mill Creek and Neuse River floodplains) and to minimize impacts to wetland and stream features. The revised master plan includes the stream crossings of Streams A and E, with impacts (fill and pipe) totaling less than a total of 300 linear feet (lf). These proposed crossings have been relocated and redesigned to limit impacts to a total of approximately 293 lf, which would depict a minimization of stream impacts from the revised master plan that had proposed over 760 linear feet of impacts (See Attachment C -Exhibit B). This minimization was achieved by excavating in excess of 500,000 cubic yards of material in an effort to lower the vertical elevation at the crossings. Current Master Plan The proposed development will be comprised of seven sections of development within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) comprising 332.69 acres. This PUD has been approved by the Johnston County Planning Department. Development will be located on 287.13 acres of the tract and impervious surfaces will total 76.67 acres or 23.05% of the site. The PUD will include a strip of commercial buildings along the NC 42 East frontage and a recreational lot that will include parking area, a clubhouse, a swimming pool, and tennis courts. The remaining development will consist of 441 residential units. The current proposed master plan includes a total of two stream road crossings (Streams A and E) that would require piping. The crossing on Stream A (Impact Area 4, Creek Crossing G) will impact 134 linear feet of stream and will require the installation of 90 linear feet of 54" pipe to convey the steam flow under the proposed roadway with 24 linear feet of riprap at the pipe outlet. The crossing on Stream E (Impact Area 5, Creek Crossing H) will impact 159 linear feet of stream and will require the installation of 90 linear feet of 48" pipe to convey the stream flow under the proposed roadway with 21 linear feet of riprap at the pipe outlet. See Attachment C -Figures 4 and 5 for the current proposed plan views, profiles and typical sections for each of the two crossings. Engineering plans for the remainder of the development that have been prepared by IC2 are enclosed as Attachment F. Representative photographs of Streams A and E at the location of the proposed road crossings are included in Attachment G. The on-site sewer will have six proposed stream crossings on-site. Five of the stream crossings will use a jack and bore method to cross under the stream to avoid stream and _Y STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shern March 2, 2007 Page 3 minimize buffer impacts. One of the sewer crossings will use an aerial crossing to avoid stream impacts and minimize buffer impacts. Minor wetland impacts will result from the site grading required for the development of residential lots and sewer line installation. Wetland Area HH has an area of 0.037 acre (1,604 sq. feet), and approximately 0.02 acre (871 sq. ft.) of Wetland HH will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 7). Wetland Area LL has an area of 2.341 acres (101,994 sq. feet), and approximately 0.04 acre (1,742 sq. ft.) of Wetland LL will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 9). Wetland II has an area of 0.107 acre (4,677 sq. ft.), and approximately 0.01 acre (487 sq. ft.) will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 2). Wetland FF has an area of 0.0724 acre (3,154 sq. ft.), and approximately 0.01 acre (336 sq. ft.) will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 2). The primary entrance into the development is located on the south side of NC 42, approximately 300 feet east of Mill Creek. This entrance has been established to align with a future crossover included in NCDOT's proposed improvements to NC 42. The project will also include the construction of turning lanes on eastbound and westbound NC 42 as well as a 'right in, right out' entrance east of the main entrance in order to access the proposed commercial component of the PUD. An entrance road for the western residential development area will also be constructed. The construction of the turning lanes on NC 42 will include the construction of a retaining wall along the northern side of NC 42. This retaining wall has been proposed in order to avoid impacts to the unnamed tributary to Mill Creek that is located parallel to NC 42. Minor impacts to the riparian buffer (492 sq. ft.) will occur from grading to accommodate the turning lanes. The sanitary sewer forcemain will extend from the pump station serving the development to the west, along the south side of NC 42 for a distance of approximately 5000 feet. At the western end, the sewer forcemain will cross under NC 42 to the north side (near Bennet Place) and terminate at an existing sewer junction. The .sewer forcemain will cross over or under four stream channels along NC 42. Impacts to these stream channels will be avoided by directional drilling (jack and bore) underneath the stream channels to be crossed or by crossing over the culvert conveying the stream flow. The sewer forcemain will be connected to a proposed pump station located on the subject site that will be situated east of Mill Creek and south of Stream E. A Stormwater Management Plan has been prepared for this project to document the design process and to develop the stormwater management system for the development. This Stormwater Management Plan has been prepared by IC2 and has been included in Attachment E. NC 42 East; LLC understands and is committed to providing a stormwater management plan that achieves NCDWQ design parameters, for concentrated impervious areas on the subject site. STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shern March 2, 2007 Purpose and Need Page 4 The purpose of the project is to provide adequate affordable residential housing opportunities within the region that has convenient access to commercial shopping areas for the residents and the general public. NC 42 East, LLC anticipates beginning construction in 2007 in order to achieve an opening of the first residential units at the end of 2007. This schedule will allow NC 42 East, LLC to take advantage of the rapid residential/commercial/retail growth currently dominating this region of Johnston County. Construction will result in impacts to waters of the U.S., as described in the impacts section below. The roadway crossings of Stream A and E have been proposed to access the uplands in the central portion of the site. The developable portion of the site would not be accessible without these proposed crossings, and would result in an economic hardship if the stream crossings were denied. The alignment of the internal roadways was designed to avoid the streams as well as the stream buffers to the greatest extent practicable in order to reduce the amount of impacts that would occur while achieving NCDOT design parameters of a collector road. The road crossing impacts have been reduced to the point where the development would qualify for a Nationwide Permit #39. The impacts to the stream channels are included in the mitigation calculations prepared for this project. A concerted attempt has been made to minimize the disturbances to these two stream channels and their associated regulated riparian buffers. Impacts to Waters of the U.S. Total related grading, piping, riprap, and fill activities associated with the construction of the proposed internal roadway will result in permanent impacts to approximately 293 if of jurisdictional perennial streams (Stream A=134 lf, and Stream E=159 lf). The first stream crossing in the northern portion of the project site (Stream A, Impact Area 4, Creek Crossing G) would require the installation of 90 linear feet of 54" diameter pipe underneath the proposed roadway to provide continued conveyance of the stream flow. The bottom portion of the pipe will be buried one foot (minimum) below the existing steam bed to ensure continued stream flow and aquatic organism passage in periods of low flow conditions. Stabilization of the pipe outlet will require 24 linear feet of riprap. A total of 134 linear feet of stream will be impacted at this crossing location. The second stream crossing (Stream E, Impact Area 5, Creek Crossing H) will require the installation of 90 linear feet of 48" diameter pipe underneath the proposed roadway to provide continued conveyance of the stream flow. The bottom portion of the pipe will be buried one foot (minimum) below the existing steam bed to ensure continued stream flow STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shern March 2, 2007 Page 5 and aquatic organism passage in periods of low flow conditions. Stabilization of the pipe outlet will require 21 linear feet of riprap. A total of 159 linear feet of stream will be impacted at this crossing location. Proposed impacts are summarized in Table 1 below. Reference Attachment C, Figures 4 and 5 for locations and details of stream impacts. Minor wetland impacts will result from the site grading required for the development of residential lots and sewer line installation. Wetland Area HH has an area of 0.037 acre (1,604 sq. feet), and approximately 0.02 acre (871 sq. ft.) of Wetland HH will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 7). Wetland Area LL has an area of 2.341 acres (101,994 sq. feet), and approximately 0.04 acre (1,742 sq. ft.) of Wetland LL will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 9). Wetland II has an area of 0.107 acre (4,677 sq. ft.), and approximately 0.01 acre (487 sq. ft.) will be impacted for the sewer (Attachment F, Impact Area 2). Wetland FF has an area of 0.0724 acre (3,154 sq. ft.), and approximately 0.01 acre (336 sq. ft.) will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 2). A total of 0.08 acre of wetland will be impacted (See Table 2 below). Regulated riparian buffers associated with the Neuse River basin waterways are present on most of the streams located on site. These buffers are 50 feet wide and are regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0506. All surface waters that are depicted on either the USGS topographic quadrangles, or the County Soil Surveys within the Neuse River basin have 50-foot regulated buffers. Surface waters that do not appear on either of the two aforementioned maps do not have a regulated buffer. Road crossings of streams and other surface waters that are subject to Neuse River Buffer rules are regulated based on the length and area impacted by the crossing (Note: Road crossings of the regulated buffer that would impact equal to or less than 40 if of the buffer are exempt from the rules). Road crossings that impact more than 40 if of riparian buffer but equal to or less than 150 lf, or one-third of an acre of buffer are allowable under the rules. Road crossings that impact greater than 150 lf, or one third of an acre of riparian buffer, are allowable with mitigation. Sewer crossings on the site will be limited to less than 40 feet in width and are therefore exempt from the buffer rules. As mentioned above, five of six proposed sewer crossings will be accomplished via directional drilling with the exception of one aerial crossing. Temporary buffer impacts may occur at each location, but will be within the established corridor shown on the plans. No disturbance will occur within 10 feet of the top of stream bank in any of these locations. The crossings will be returned to original grade and revegetated when construction is completed. The site grading, which has been minimized to the greatest practical extent within the buffer areas, is also an exempt activity. These areas will be vegetated and sheet flow will be maintained throughout the buffer. STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shern March 2, 2007 Page 6 The NC 42 East project proposes to impact 159 if and less than one-third of an acre of buffer for the crossing of Stream E Impact Area 5, Creek Crossing H, site grading and sewer installation, and therefore is allowable with mitigation under the Neuse River buffer rules. Neuse River buffer impacts are summarized in Table 3. Neuse River buffer impacts resulting from the crossing of Stream A, Impact Area 4, Creek Crossing G will total 7,413.92 sq. ft. in Zone 1 and 5,511.01 sq. ft in Zone 2. The crossing of Stream E, Impact Area 5, Creek Crossing H will total 8,242.17 sq. ft. in Zone 1 and 2,504 sq. ft in Zone 2. The NC 42 turning lane site grading will impact 49 sq. ft. in Zone 1 and 201 sq. ft in Zone 2 of an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek located on the north side of the retaining wall north of NC 42. In addition, fill from minor widening of NC 42 for the turn lane will impact 63 sq. ft. in Zone 1 and 179 sq. ft in Zone 2 of Mill Creek, south of NC 42. Impact area 1 includes 2,105 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for sewer installation and site grading. Impact area 2 includes 4,414 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for sewer installation. Impact area 3 includes 186 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for site grading. Impact area 6 includes 2,917 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for site grading. Impact area 7 includes 1,836 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for site grading. Impact area 8 includes 2 sq. ft. of Zone Z impacts for the aerial sewer crossing installation. Impact area 10 includes 1,606 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for site grading. Impact area 11 includes 1,988 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for site grading. Impact area 12 includes 322 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for roadway grading. Impact area 13 includes 213 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for roadway grading.

These strategies and reduction measures include the following: • Lowering the vertical grade of the entrance road at the stream crossings (Note: This strategy will result in a significant increase in earthwork costs due to additional excavation of approximately 500,000 cubic yards @ $4/cy) • Use of wingwalls* • Elimination of guardrails and use of curb and gutter • Use of 11-foot lanes instead of the 12-foot NCDOT standard* • Maximization of fill slopes to 2:1 • Elimination of medians • Entrance road and turning lanes to the development area from NC 42 were shifted east to avoid extension of the existing NC 42 culvert, thereby avoiding impacts to Mill Creek and associated floodplain (The location of the entrance road along NC 42 East is being dictated by the critical need to align the entrance with the planned crossover that will accompany the proposed future widening of NC 42 East.) • Retaining wall along the north side of NC 42 will be constructed to avoid stream impacts and minimize buffer impacts • Reduction of entrance road from a 4-lane divided section to a 3-lane undivided STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shem March 2, 2007 Page 9 section prior to the first stream crossing • Site grading and proposed construction limits have been adjusted to minimize buffer and wetland impacts • Lots are mostly located outside riparian buffers to avoid future land use changes to the buffers • Undisturbed wetlands and/or streams on lots will be platted and recorded as easements to prevent future impacts • Sewer force main along NC 42 has been designed to avoid stream impacts • On-site sewer will be bored or directionally drilled under stream or will cross by aerial to avoid stream impacts and minimize buffer impacts • Elimination of access roads and development within the Neuse River floodplain • Preservation of sensitive Neuse River and Mill Creek floodplain habitat through inclusion in open space easements and/or Johnston County Land Dedication Program • Elimination of a crossing of Mill Creek, one of which would have provided access to high value lots along the Neuse River. • Avoidance of the high quality wetlands found on site. *Theee reduction measures were the result of negotiations with NCDOT's District Engineer. Compensatory Mitigation The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has defined mitigation in 40 CFR Part 1508.20 to include: avoiding impacts, minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time, and compensating for impacts. Three general types of mitigation include avoidance, minimization and compensatory mitigation. Mitigation efforts for this project included avoidance and minimization of impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and the preservation of approximately 14,280 linear feet of stream and 5.32 acres of wetlands that are located on site. The NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) is willing to accept an In-Lieu Fee Payment as the method to provide compensatory mitigation for the proposed impacts to the wetlands and stream channels. The fee for one acre of riparian wetland impacts purchased from the EEP is $27,847 (valid from 7/1/06 until 7/1/07). Wetland mitigation credits are sold by the EEP in one-quarter acre increments (10,890 sq. ft.). Therefore, the compensatory wetland impact fee for the project would be $6,961.75 to mitigate for 0.08 acre of riparian wetland impacts. The fee for a linear foot of stream impacts purchased from the EEP is $232 (valid from 7/1/06 until ?/1/07). At 1:1 impacts to mitigation ratio, the compensatory stream impact fee for the project would be $67,976.00 to mitigate for 293 if of stream impacts. The fee for riparian buffer impacts purchased from the EEP is $0.96 per square foot (valid from 7/1/06 until 7/1/07). Therefore, the compensatory STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shern March 2, 2007 Page 10 riparian buffer impact has been calculated to be $27,343.21 to mitigate for 8,242.17 sq ft of Zone 1 and 2,504 sq. ft. of Zone 2 riparian buffer impacts. The combined fee for wetland, stream and riparian buffer impacts would be $102,281.00. In addition to making an in-lieu fee payment to the EEP, NC 42 East, LLC also proposes to preserve all remaining wetlands (5.32 acres) and streams (14, 2801f) on site, as well as all remaining riparian buffers on site. These preservation areas will be preserved in perpetuity through covenants of the homeowners association as dedicated open space or as part of Johnston County's Land Dedication Program. Protected Species RWA conducted a protected species habitat assessment and review of the project area in July 2006. Prior to the field site visit, RWA reviewed the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database, which provided existing data concerning the potential occurrence of federally threatened and endangered species in Johnston County. This database indicates that there are five federally threatened or endangered species that may occur in Johnston County, as described below: Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) -Federally Endangered - Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from 1 to 3 feet in height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Most plants are unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both male and female flowers on one plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June to July, while the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October. Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. Apparently, this plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. There have been no documented populations of this plant in Johnston County within the last 50 years and is listed as a historic occurrence, meaning that it was last observed more than 50 years ago. Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) -Federally Threatened -This bird (federally proposed for de-listing) nests in mature live pines or cypress trees in the transition zone between mature forests and large bodies of water. Nests are very large, up to six feet in width, and constructed of large sticks and soft materials such as dead vegetation, grasses, and pine needles. Nesting trees are usually less than two miles from open water. Winter roosts are usually in mature trees, similar to nesting trees, but may be somewhat farther from water. Female bald eagles are approximately 35 to 37 inches long while the male bald eagles are approximately 30 to 34 inches. Adults tend to have ablackish-brown back and breast with a white head, neck, and tail and a yellow bill. Juveniles tend to be brown and white with a black bill. STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shem March 2, 2007 Page 11 (Reference: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). 1992. Source: Endangered and Threatened Species of the Southeastern United States (The Red Book) FWS Region 4.) Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) -Federally Endangered -Adult red- cockaded woodpeckers (RCWs) are approximately 18 to 20 cm long with a wingspan of 35 to 38 cm. Adults have a black cap, throat, aild stripe on the side of the neck and white cheeks and underparts. The back is barred with black and white horizontal stripes. Adult males have a small red spot on each side of the black cap. The bird is native to southern pine forests and typically nests within open pine stands with trees 80 years or older. Roosting cavities are excavated within live pines, which are often infected with a fungus which causes what is known as red-heart disease. Foraging may occur in pine andlor mixed pine/hardwood stands 30 years or older with trees 10" or larger in diameter at breast height {dbh). {Reference: U.S. Fish a.ld Wildlife Service. 1985. Recovery Plan for the Red-cockaded Woodpecker. U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Atlanta, Georgia. 88 pages.) Dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) -Federally Endangered -The dwarf wedgemussel rarely exceeds 45 mm in length. Young shells are typically greenish-brown in color with greenish rays, while older shells usually appear black or brown. The shell is relatively thin, but tends to thicken with age toward the anterior end. The preferred habitat of this species includes clay banks along root systems of trees, mixed substrates of cobble, gravel, and sand, and occasionally soft silt substrates. Stream banks are stable, having extensive root systems and mature riparian buffers. Water quality within the rivers and streams where the dwarf wedgemussel is found is good to excellent. Dwarf wedgemussel once occurred in rivers and streams from New Brunswick, Canada to North Carolina. North Carolina supports the greatest number of known occurrences within the Neuse River Basin (Orange Co., Wake Co., Johnston Co., Wilson Co., Nash Co.), and the Tar River Basin (Person Co., Granville Co., Vance Co., Franklin Co., Warren Co., Nash Co., and Halifax Co.) Tar River spinymussel (Elliptio steinsta~zsa»a) Federally Endangered -The Tar River spinymussel is 2.5 inches in length. Juvenile mussels contain twelve spines and have an outer shell surface that is orange-brown with greenish rays. Adult mussels tend to lose their spines as they mature and have a darker outer surface with inconspicuous rays. The imler shell of both the juvenile and adult mussel is yellow or pinkish at one end and bluish-white at the other end. This species is typically observed in unconsolidated beds of gravel and coarse sand in relatively fast flowing water. The water quality of the stream is good to excellent. Stream banks are usually stable, having extensive root systems. The Tar River spinymussel is known to occur in Edgecombe County within the Swift Creek subbasin and the Tar River. This mussel has also been observed within Johnston County (Little River subbasin-Neuse River Basin), Nash County (Swift Creek subbasin and Tar STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shern March 2, 2007 Page 12 River), Franklin County (Shocco and Sandy Creek subbasins), and Halifax County (Little Fishing Creek Subbasin). The list of federally protected species was reviewed, and evaluations were performed regarding the likelihood of the presence of each species within the subject site. STV/RWA environmental scientists, Rhett Baggett and Steven Busbee, performed a field review of the subject site in July 2006. No individuals of any of the aforementioned plant or animal species were observed during the field visit. The majority of the study area consists primarily of upland forest and upland fields. However, no individuals of these protected species were observed during the field visit. According to a letter received from the NCNHP (Attachment H), three State Threatened mussel species are located in the general vicinity of the project area. These species are: Creeper (Stropliitus undulates) Roanoke Slabshell (Elliptio roanokensis) Eastern Lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata radiate) Each of these species has been documented in the Neuse River approximately one mile upstream of the project site. Therefore, these species may occur within the Neuse River adjacent to the proposed development site. Proper sediment barriers will be put into place prior to development activities to ensure that sedimentation does not reach the river. In addition, the development will be subject to a stormwater management plan designed to remove total suspended solids emanating from concentrated impervious areas of the site. Finally, extensive floodplain areas along the Neuse River will be preserved as part of the proposed project. Considering the limited amount of potential habitat in the study area, the likelihood that these Federally and State list species are present on the subject property is concluded to be remote. Cultural Resources The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has previously reviewed two projects that occurred proximal to the proposed development and had no comment on either (See SHPO Correspondence, Attachment H). Considering the limited size of the project area impacting waters of the U.S. for this project, the likelihood of cultural resources being present in the proposed permit area is considered remote. The applicant would be willing to perform an archaeological survey of the proposed permit areas as a condition of the requested nationwide permit. STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Mr. Jamie Shern March 2, 2007 Page 13 A cemetery identified on-site will be off-limits to construction and will be part of a deed restriction to ensure that this area is not disturbed from development activities.

Page 2 of 14 Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Based on Johnston County Technical Services aerial photo~ra~hy the~roiect area includes nine parcels which consists mostly of undeveloped. woodlands and omen fields The floodplains associated with the Neuse River and Mill Creek are completely forested and the open fields of the uplands are primarily maintained pasture. Land adjacent to the site consists mostly of undeveloped woodland with scattered residential areas. Potential jurisdictional waters of the U S in the project area include multiple unnamed tributaries to Mill Creek (Streams A B E F I J K L M P V and W) Mill Creek and the Neuse River Nine p_alustrine forested wetlands are located on-site and include Wetlands AA BB CC EE FF II LL MM1 and RR These wetlands exhibited moderate to strong herbaceous groundcover and an overstory of mature trees. Amid-story of shrubs and small trees was also typically present Six emergent herbaceous wetlands are located on-site and include Wetlands KK MM2 PP Q~ SS and UU. These wetlands exhibited strong herbaceous groundcover and weak to moderate coverage of shrubs. Nine wetland seeps are located on-site and include Wetlands DD GG HH JJ, NN, 00, TT, VV, and WW. These wetlands were typically located on moderate to strong slopes and exhibited persistent flow, weak to strong herbaceous groundcover and a loam~ocky substrate (refer to Attachment ~ _. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The proposed development will be comprised of seven sections of development within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) comprising 332 69 acres. This PUD has been approved by the Johnston County Planning Department Development will be located on 287.13 acres of the tract and impervious surfaces will total 76.67 acres or 23.05% of the site. The PUD will include a strip of commercial buildin sg_ along the NC 42 East frontage and a recreational lot that will include parkin area a clubhouse a swimming pool and tennis courts. The remainin d'g_evelopment will consist of 441 residential units. The current proposed master plan includes a total of two stream road crossings (Streams A and E) that would require piping The crossing on Stream A (Impact Area 4, Creek Crossing G will impact 134 linear feet of stream and will require the installation of 90 linear feet of 54" pipe to convey the steam flow under the proposed roadway with 24 linear feet of riprap at the pipe outlet The crossing_on Stream E (Impact Area 5 Creek Crossing H) will impact 159 linear feet of stream and will require the installation of 90 linear feet of 48" pipe to convey the stream flow under the proposed roadway with 21 linear feet of riprap at the pipe outlet See Attachment C -Figures 4 and 5 for the current proposed plan views, profiles and * ;apical sections for each of the two crossings. En ing eering_plans for the remainder of the development that have been prepared by IC2 are enclosed as Attachment F. Representative photographs of Streams A and E at the location of the proposed road crossings are included in Attachment G. The on-site sewer will have six proposed stream crossings on-site. Five of the stream crossings will use a iack and bore method to cross under the stream to avoid stream and Page 3 of 14 minimize buffer impacts. One of the sewer crossings will use an aerial crossing to avoid stream impacts and minimize buffer impacts. Minor wetland impacts will result from the site rg ading_ required for the development of residential lots and sewer line installation. Wetland Area HH has an area of 0.037 acre (1,604 sq. feet ,and approximately 0.02 acre (871 sq. ft.~ of Wetland HH will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 7). Wetland Area LL has an area of 2.341 acres (,101,994 scp feet), and approximately 0.04 acre (1,742 sq. ft.) of Wetland LL will be impacted Attachment F, Impact Area 9). Wetland II has an area of 0.107 acre (4,677 sq; ft. and approximately 0.01 acre (487 sq. ft.) will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 2). Wetland FF has an area of 0.0724 acre (3,154 sq. ft. ,and approximately 0.01 acre (336 sq. ft.) will be impacted (Attachment F, Impact Area 2~ The primary entrance into the development is located on the south side of NC 42, approximately 300 feet east of Mill Creek. This entrance has been established to align with a future crossover included in NCDOT's proposed improvements to NC 42. The ~roiect will also include the construction of turning lanes on eastbound and westbound NC 42 as well as a 'right in, right out' entrance east of the main entrance in order to access the proposed commercial component of the PUD. An entrance road for the western residential development area will also be constructed. The construction of the turning lanes on NC 42 will include the construction of a retaining wall along the northern side of NC 42. This retaining wall has been proposed in order to avoid impacts to the unnamed tributary to Mill Creek that is located parallel to NC 42. Minor impacts to the riparian buffer (492 sq. ft., will occur from grading to accommodate the turnin lanes. The sanitary sewer forcemain will extend from the pump station serving the development to the west, along the south side of NC 42 for a distance of approximately 5000 feet. At the western end, the sewer forcemain will cross under NC 42 to the north side (near Bennet Place) and terminate at an existing sewer junction. The sewer forcemain will cross over or under four stream chamlels along NC 42. Impacts to these stream channels will be avoided by directional drilling (jack and bore) underneath the stream channels to be crossed or by crossing over the culvert conveying the stream flow. The sewer forcemain will be com~ected to a proposed pump station located on the subject site that will be situated east of Mill Creek and south of Stream E. A Stormwater Management Plan has been prepared for this project to document the design process and to develop the stormwater management system for the development. This Stormwater Management Plan has been prepared by IC2 and has been included in Attachment E. NC 42 East, LLC understands and is committed to providing a stormwater management plan that achieves NCDWO design parameters for concentrated impervious areas on the subject site. Typical equipment, including bulldozers, rg ading pans and track hoes will be used for construction of the entrance road and site ading_ 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Page 4 of 14 The purpose of the project is to provide adequate affordable residential housing opportunities within the region that has convenient access to commercial shopping areas for the residents and the general public NC 42 East LLC anticipates beginning construction in 2007 in order to achieve an opening of the first residential units at the end of 2007. This schedule will allow NC 42 East, LLC to take advantage of the rapid residentiaUcommerciaUretail growth currently dominatin tg his region of Johnston County Construction will result in impacts to waters of the U S as described in the impacts section below. The roadway crossings of Stream A and E have been proposed to access the uplands in the central portion of the site The developable portion of the site would not be accessible without these proposed crossings and would result in an economic hardship if the stream crossings were denied The alignment of the internal roadways was designed to avoid the streams as well as the stream buffers to the greatest extent practicable in order to reduce the amount of impacts that would occur while achieving NCDOT design parameters of a collector road The road crossing impacts have been reduced to the point where the devel~ment would qualify for a Nationwide Permit #39. The impacts to the stream channels are included in the mitigation calculations prepared for this project A concerted attempt has been made to minimize the disturbances to these two stream channels and their associated regulated riparian buffers.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, Page 5 of 14 permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs maybe 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: Total related grading piping ripra~ and fill activities associated with the construction of the proposed internal roadway will result in permanent impacts to approximately 293 if of jurisdictional perennial streams (Stream A=134 if and Stream E=1591f). The first stream crossing in the northern portion of the project site (Stream A, Impact Area 4, Creek Crossing G) would require the installation of 90 linear feet of 54" diameter pipe underneath the proposed roadw~ to provide continued conveyance of the stream flow. The bottom Rortion of the pipe will be buried one foot (minimum) below the existing steam bed to ensure continued stream flow and aquatic or ang ism passage in periods of low flow conditions. Stabilization of the pipe outlet will require 24 linear feet of riprap. A total of 134 linear feet of stream will be impacted at this crossing location. The second stream crossing (Stream E Impact Area 5, Creek Crossing H) will require the installation of 90 linear feet of 48" diameter pipe underneath the proposed roadway to provide continued conveyance of the stream flow. The bottom portion of the pipe will be buried one foot (minimum) below the existing steam bed to ensure continued stream flow and aquatic organism passage in periods of low flow conditions. Stabilization of the pipe outlet will require 21 linear feet of riprap A total of 159 linear feet of stream will be impacted at this crossing location. Proposed impacts are summarized in Table 1 below. Reference Attachment C Figures 4 and 5 for locations and details of stream impacts. Minor wetland impacts will result from the site grading required for the development of residential lots and sewer line installation. Wetland Area HH has an area of 0.037 acre (1,604 sq feet) and approximately 0 02 acre (871 sq ft) of Wetland HH will be impacted (Attachment F Impact Area 7) Wetland Area LL has an area of 2.341 acres (101,994 sq. feet), and approximately 0 04 acre (1 742 sq ft) of Wetland LL will be impacted (Attachment F Impact Area 9) Wetland II has an area of 0.107 acre (4,677 sg. ft.), and approximately 0.01 acre (487 sq ft.) will be impacted for the sewer (Attachment F, Impact Area 2). Wetland FF has an area of 0 0724 acre (3 154 sq ft) and approximately 0.01 acre (336 sg. ft.) will be impacted (Attachment F Impact Area 2). A total of 0.08 acre of wetland will be impacted (See Table 2 below . Regulated riparian buffers associated with the Neuse River basin waterways are present on most of the streams located on site. These buffers are 50 feet wide and are regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0506. All surface waters that are depicted on either the USGS topographic quadrangles or the County Soil Surveys within the Neuse River basin have 50-foot re ug_lated Page 6 of 14 buffers Surface waters that do not appear on either of the two aforementioned maps do not have a regulated buffer Road crossings of streams and other surface waters that are subtect to Neuse River Buffer rules are regulated based on the length and area impacted by the crossing (Note: Road crossings of the regulated buffer that would impact equal to or less than 40 if of the buffer are exempt from the rules) Road crossings that impact more than 40 if of riparian buffer but equal to or less than 1501E or one-third of an acre of buffer are allowable under the rules. Road crossings that impact greater than 1501f or one third of an acre of riparian buffer, are allowable with miti atg ion. Sewer crossings on the site will be limited to less than 40 feet in width and are therefore exempt from the buffer rules As mentioned above five of six proposed sewer crossings will be accomplished via directional drilling with the exception of one aerial crossing. Temporary buffer impacts may occur at each location but will be within the established corridor shown on the plans No disturbance will occur within 10 feet of the top of stream bank in any of these locations The crossings will be returned to on final ade and revegetated when construction is completed The site rg ading which has been minimized to the egr atest practical extent within the buffer areas is also an exempt activity These areas will be vegetated and sheet flow will be maintained throughout the buffer. The NC 42 East proiect proposes to impact 159 if and less than one-third of an acre of buffer for the crossing of Stream E Impact Area 5 Creek Crossing H site r~ ading and sewer installation, and therefore is allowable with mitigation under the Neuse River buffer rules. Neuse River buffer impacts are summarized in Table 3. Neuse River buffer impacts resulting, from the crossing of Stream A, Impact Area 4, Creek Crossing G will total 7 413 92 sq ft in Zone 1 and 5 511.01 sg. ft in Zone 2. The crossing of Stream E Impact Area 5 Creek Crossing H will total 8 242.17 sq. ft. in Zone 1 and 2,504 sg. ft in Zone 2 The NC 42 turning lane site rg ailing will impact 49 sq. ft. in Zone 1 and 201 sg. ft in Zone 2 of an unnamed tributary to Mill Creek located on the north side of the retaining wall north of NC 42 In addition fill from minor widening of NC 42 for the turn lane will impact 63 sq ft in Zone 1 and 179 sq_ft in Zone 2 of Mill Creek south of NC 42. Impact area 1 includes 2 105 sq ft of Zone 2 impacts for sewer installation and site rg ailing. Impact area 2 includes 4 414 sq ft of Zone 2 impacts for sewer installation. Impact area 3 includes 186 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for site rg ailing Impact area 6 includes 2 917 sq. ft. of Zone 2 impacts for site grading Impact area 7 includes 1 836 sq ft of Zone 2 impacts for site grading.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe 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. In an effort to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional stream crossings (Stream A, Impact Area 4 Creek Crossing G and Stream E Impact Area 5 Creek Crossing H) measures and strategies have been considered and utilized throughout the project planning process. These strategies and reduction measures include the following: • Lowering_the vertical grade of the entrance road at the stream crossings (Note: This strategy will result in a significant increase in earthwork costs due to additional excavation of approximately 500 000 cubic a~rds__n, $4/cy) • Use of wingwalls* ~ Elimination of guardrails and use of curb and gutter • Use of 11-foot lanes instead of the 12-foot NCDOT standard* • Maximization of fill slopes to 2:1 • Elimination of medians Page 9 of 14 • Entrance road and turning lanes to the development area from NC 42 were shifted east to avoid extension of the existing NC 42 culvert thereby avoiding impacts to Mill Creek and associated floo~lain (The location of the entrance road along NC 42 East is being dictated b_y the critical need to align the entrance with the planned crossover that will accompany the~roposed future widening of NC 42 East.) • Retaining wall along the north side of NC 42 will be constructed to avoid stream impacts and minimize buffer impacts • Reduction of entrance road from a 4-lane divided section to a 3-lane undivided section prior to the first stream crossing • Site rg ading and proposed construction limits have been adjusted to minimize buffer and wetland impacts • Lots are mostly located outside riparian buffers to avoid future land use changes to the buffers • Undisturbed wetlands and/or streams on lots will be platted and recorded as easements to prevent future impacts • Sewer force main along NC 42 has been designed to avoid stream impacts • On-site sewer will be bored or directionally drilled under stream or will cross by aerial to avoid stream impacts and minimize buffer impacts • Elimination of access roads and develoRment within the Neuse River floodplain • Preservation of sensitive Neuse River and Mill Creek floodplain habitat through inclusion in open space easements and/or Johnston County Land Dedication Program • Elimination of a crossing of Mill Creek one of which would have provided access to high value lots along the Neuse River. • Avoidance of the high quality wetlands found on site. *These reduction measures were the result o~~otiations with NCDOT's District En,~ineer. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that maybe 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 10 of 14 If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http ://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/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. The Council on Environmental Quality_(CEQ) has defined mitigation in 40 CFR Part 1508 20 to include• avoiding impacts minimizing impacts rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time and compensatin fg or impacts Three general types of mitigation include avoidance minimization and compensatory mitigation. Mitigation efforts for this project included avoidance and minimization of impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and the preservation of approximately 14 280 linear feet of stream and 5.32 acres of wetlands that are located on site. The NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP is willing to accept an In-Lieu Fee Payment as the method to provide compensatory mitigation for the proposed impacts to the wetlands and stream channels The fee for one acre of riparian wetland impacts purchased from the EEP is $27 847 (valid from 7/1/06 until 7/1/07). Wetland mitigation credits are sold by the EEP in one-quarter acre increments (10 890 sq. ft.). Therefore, the compensatory wetland impact fee for the project would be $6 961 75 to mitigate for 0.08 acre of riparian wetland impacts The fee for a linear foot of stream impacts purchased from the EEP is $232 (valid from 7/1/06 until 7/1/07). At 1:1 impacts to mitigation ratio, the compensatory stream impact fee for the project would be $67 976.00 to mitigate for 293 if of stream impacts. The fee for riparian buffer impacts purchased from the EEP is $0.96 per square foot (valid from 7/1/06 until 7/1/07) Therefore the compensatory riparian buffer impact has been calculated to be $27 343 21 to mitigate for 8 242 17 sq ft of Zone 1 and 2 504 sq. ft. of Zone 2 riparian buffer impacts. The combined fee for wetland stream and riparian buffer impacts would be $102 281.00. In addition to making an in-lieu fee payment to the EEP NC 42 East LLC also proposes to preserve all remaining wetlands (5.32 acres) and streams (14 280 lfl on site, as well as all remaining riparian buffers on site. These preservation areas will be preserved in perpetuity through covenants of the homeowners association as dedicated open space or as part of Johnston County's Land Dedication Pro rg am. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

This SMP describes the stormwater management and control features included in the hydraulic design for the Project. This design was performed by professional engineers with involvement from environmental scientists, the owner, and contractors. This SMP has been prepared in general accordance with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Stormwater Best Management Practices manual (July 2005 Draft), the Neuse River: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy (15A NCAC 02B .0232-.0236), and the Johnston County Stormwater Design Manual and Stormwater Ordinance. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project includes seven sections of development within a Planned Unit Development (PUD) comprising 332.69 acres south of NC 42. This PUD, approved by Johnston County Planning Department, consists of the following: • Section F - A residential section of 22.63 acres consisting of 24 lots. Proposed impervious. area of 18.1 %. • Section G - A commercial development of 27.90 acres directly adjacent to NC 42. Proposed impervious area of 60%. • Section H - A residential section of 36.3 acres consisting of 36 lots. Proposed impervious area of 14.4%. 42 East 1 2/28/2007 Stormwater Management Plan • Section I - A residential section of 58.9 acres consisting of 180 lots. Proposed impervious surface area of 29.9%. • Section J - A residential section of 30.24 acres consisting of 107 lots. Proposed impervious surface area of 36%. • Section K - A residential section of 102.88 acres consisting of 94 lots. • Recreation Area - An 8.28 acre recreational facility to serve all of the above developments. Proposed impervious surface area of 50% Overall the total development includes 76.67 acres or 23.05% impervious area. Sections I and J have complete BMP designs and detailed calculations of flows, since these initial phases have been fully designed. The plans are currently under review by Johnston County. The remaining sections have been laid out on a conceptual level and the associated stormwater management facilities are also conceptual. These are provided to ensure that the future sections aze able to comply with County and State standards for stormwater quality and quantity management, and that sufficient room is set aside for BMPs. If requested, final stormwater management plans for each section will be submitted as final designs are completed for each section. 3.0 SITE BACKGROUND INFORMATION The site is located between NC 42, Mill Creek, and the Neuse River, with several intermittent to perennial tributaries dividing the property. With the exception of the two main road crossings and unavoidable sewer line crossings, impacts to these systems have been avoided. Minor impacts to wetlands adjacent to these stream systems are discussed in the permit application, along with the major crossing impacts. All streams within the site are classified as Class C -NSW (Nutrient Sensitive Waters) by NCDENR. The stream channels described in the permit application have been field verified by NCDWQ as under the jurisdiction of the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The site is not located in an environmentally sensitive overlay district as listed by Johnston County. 42 East 2 2/28/2007 Stormwater Management Plan The site is a mixture of open fields and forested areas. The flood plain of Mill Creek and the Neuse River are completely forested, while the upland areas are predominantly maintained pasture. Topography on the sites consists of several ridges running east-west between the natural drainage ways. These ridges are relatively flat, but have steep side slopes as they approach the stream channels. 4.0 BMP Evaluation Criteria Due to the sensitive nature of the watershed, best management practices (BMPs) were evaluated at all outfall locations. During the evaluation, the following conditions were considered: • The percent impervious area in each development section. • The pre- and post-project stormwater flow at the outfall location and across the entire site. • The proximity of the location to surface waters and riparian buffers. • The slope and consistency of the topography between the outfall and the environmentally sensitive area (buffers, wetlands, and streams). • The proximity of the BMP to the roads or lots and any potential safety hazards involved. • Access and maintenance issues critical to the continued operation and success of each BMP. • Existence of natural, non jurisdictional channels or structures for use in routing stormwater flows. • Nitrogen loading rates for each section. 42 East 3 2/28/2007 Stormwater Management Plan 5.0 BMP EVALUATION The following steps were followed to determine the applicability of using BMPs at each location: • Evaluate the use of a level spreader, including flow volume and velocity, length required, slope, and consistent topography. • Provide sheet flow and/or treatment at each outfall in proximity to riparian buffers. • Determine if there is a significant change in pre- and post-project stormwater flows. • Evaluate the use of a wet detention pond, if necessary, to reduce post-project stormwater flows and provide adequate treatment and nitrogen reduction. Based on this evaluation, BMPs were implemented in each development section as described below. 6.0 DESIGN DETAILS The following sections describe the BMPs used in each section of the project. As mentioned above, the BMP design is conceptual in nature for the future sections (F,G,H,K, recreational area) and final design is provided for the initial sections (I,J). The conceptual design ensures that all stormwater management goals and requirements can be achieved given the preliminary lot layout. If required as part of the permit conditions, final stormwater system designs will be submitted prior to commencement of construction of each section. 6.1 General BMP Design Runoff attenuation and treatment are provided to the maximum extent practical in each section of the project. Wet detention ponds are located in each section to provide the maximum attenuation and water quality benefits. These ponds are designed to the standards described in the Johnston County Stormwater Design 42 East 4 2/28/2007 Stormwater Management Plan Manual and the July 2005 NCDENR Updated Draft Manual of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Pond design include forebays and permanent pools of at least 3-foot depth with calculated water quality volumes to meet or exceed the proposed impervious surface requirements of the drainage Level spreaders were not able to be implemented in Sections I and J due to the steep topography on site, and the maximum level spreader slope requirement of 8%. Traditional infiltration trenches were also considered, but the site soils prevented their use. Therefore, where ponds could not be provided an alternate BMP strategy was devised to handle storm system outfalls. The BMP chosen at riparian buffer locations is a combination level spreader and infiltration trench that would provide some attenuation of the initial "first flush" rainfall as well as some treatment through a filter fabric and sand layer. The storm system outlet would discharge runoff into a plunge pool, which would reduce the velocity of the runoff. Stormwater would then flow through a vegetated swale to the trench. The stormwater infiltrating through the trench would then be collected in 4-inch perforated drain pipes and discharged through an energy dissipater pad in an upland area outside the buffers at non-erosive velocities. Larger rain events would collect in the trench and then spill over a curb provided on the "down-hill" side of the ditch designed to create sheet flow into the buffer. The enclosed details show the design of this level spreader/infiltration trench. 6.2 Section F Section F consists of low density development and has a proposed impervious area of 4.09 acres or 18.1 %. The cul-de-sac will have a storm system draining the road and much of the development. This system will outlet outside the riparian buffer into either a wet detention pond at the lower end of the site or a device which creates sheet flow into the buffer depending on final design calculations. 42 East 5 2/28/2007 Stormwater Management Plan 6.3 Section G The design of the commercial area has not been completed at this time since it is likely to change depending on the type of enterprise that purchases each lot. Therefore, the conceptual stormwater management system for this area has been designed for a maximum 60% impervious area. This maximum will be incorporated into the deed for each lot as it is sold. If individual owners need additional impervious area, they will be required to provide additional stormwater treatment and attenuation on their individual lots. Two wet detention ponds are designed to provide adequate treatment and attenuation of the entirety of this highly impervious area, based on the 60% impervious maximum. 6.4 Section H Section H is a proposed low density residential development with only 14.4% impervious area. Since it generally drains toward the proposed recreational facility, much of the impervious area will be routed to the storm system in the road and discharged into a wet detention pond located below the recreational area. The remaining stormwater drainage will be limited to the backs of the lots and overland flow into the buffer. 6, 5 Section I Section I is a higher density cluster of residential lots, with a proposed impervious area of 29.9%. The majority of this area, including most of the roads and lots, will drain to a wet detention pond (Pond 3) located in the floodplain of Mill Creek. This wet pond will outlet outside the buffer into an energy dissipator after providing both treatment and attenuation of the site stormwater. The outlet will provide low velocity discharge to a point at the toe of the slope where the topography is flat and non-erosive velocity at the outfall would not impact the buffer. The remaining areas not routed to the pond will be discharged at the buffer through the level spreader/infiltration trenches described in Section 6.1. 42 East 6 2/28/2007 Stormwater Management Plan 6.6 Section J Section J consists of a clustered residential area with a proposed impervious area of 36.0%. In order to provide treatment and attenuation for this area, two wet ponds have been designed: one in Section J and one just across the road in Section I. The majority of drainage from this residential area is captured in these ponds, which meet the criteria described in Section 6.1. Pond 4 discharges into an energy dissipater at the edge of the buffer. Pond 5 discharges into an upland drainage approximately 90 feet from the riparian buffer. Energy dissipaters are provided to lower velocities and prevent erosion within the buffer. The remaining bypass areas are directed to level spreader/infiltration trenches described in Section 6.1. 6.7 Section K Section K is the largest residential section within the proposed development, consisting of 102 acres and 15.2% impervious area. This area will not be designed or constructed for 3 to 5 years. The conceptual stormwater management design includes three wet detention ponds designed to capture most of the runoff from this area. The presence of the extensive Neuse River flood plain adjacent to this section allows for adequate room to treat this large area. Any additional areas that cannot be routed to the ponds due to site topography will discharge into level spreader/infiltration trenches or traditional level spreaders if topography allows. 6.8 Recreational Area The recreational area proposed adjacent to Section H will be limited to 50% impervious area. The entire area will be drained to a wet detention pond that will also collect and treat runoff from Section H. 6.8 Roadway Drainage Due to the extensive minimization of stream impacts performed during the planning and design of this project, the main road entrance will have low points at or near the two stream crossings. Stormwater from the road surface will be captured and piped to the wet detention ponds in Sections G and H. The 42 East 7 2/28/2007 Stormwater Management Plan remaining sections are incorporated into the stormwater design for each section of the development. This impervious area was included in the sizing of the wet detention ponds. 7.0 CONCLUSION The proposed stormwater management system is designed to be an integrated system of appropriate BMPs that effectively control and treat on-site stormwater for this development. This plan is consistent with both Federal, State, and County regulations and guidance. Please refer to the enclosed plans for more information.

Please note that this decision does not assure that the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to [he NCEEP will be approved. This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. 1:f we have not received a copy of the issued 404 Pernnit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the 404/401/CAMA permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the 404 Permit and/or the 401 Certification an invoice will be issued and payment must be made. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net. Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following table. Neuse 03020201 Stream (feet) Wetlands {acres} Buffer I (Sq.
