As you are aware, the Parkside Town Commons Development (Phase 1) has already been permitted with NCDWQ (#EXP 07-1503) and USACE (#2005-21328 and 2007-04171). A 401 certification was issued on April 30, 2009 and a 404 permit was issued on June 14, 2009 for Phase H. Changes to the crossings were made based on NCDOT comments which resulted in an additional 11 feet of permanent perennial stream impact. In the original application, one crossing (O'Kelly Stream Impact #1) had a permanent impact of 11 linear feet associated with a culvert extension. This impact has now been shortened to 8 linear feet. Another crossing (O'Kelly Stream Impacts #2 & #3) had a temporary impact of 35 linear feet related to the installation of a new inlet structure and endwall on either end of the existing pipe. The headwall was not approved by NCDOT and a culvert extension of 14 feet (permanent impact) is now required at that location. Temporary impacts are no longer present at Stream Impact Site #3. The total impacts onsite for Phase II are now 22 linear feet of perennial stream channel. As requested by USACE, the impacts are being mitigated at a 2:1 ratio. The NC Ecosystem Enhancement program has approved the project for mitigation credit purchase. The NCEEP approval is attached to this letter. The attachments contain the revised PCN form, revised roadway and impact area map for O'Kelly Chapel Road, and the NCEEP approval acceptance letter. Please contact me if you have any questions.

See attached list of adjacent parcel numbers. Latitude: 35.844676 1b. Site coordinates (in decimal degrees): Longitude: - 78.893862 (DD.DDDDDD) (-DD.DDDDDD) 1 c. Property size: Roadway (Phase 2): 23.97 acres; Parkside Town Commons (Phase 1): 123.36 acres 2. Surface Waters 2a. Name of nearest body of water (stream, river, etc.) to Kit Creek proposed project: 2b. Water Quality Classification of nearest receiving water: WS-IV NSW 2c. River basin: Cape Fear 3. Project Description 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The majority of project work will take place within the existing NCDOT right of way for NC 55 and O'Kelly Chapel Road. The right of way consists of existing roadway and grassed shoulders. The surrounding area is undeveloped and forested. A few residential and commercial properties are sparsely located near the corridor. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.04 acres of wetlands are located within the NCDOT right-of-way / project area near Kit Creek. 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: There are three perennial streams within the NCDOT right-of-way / project area totalling 123 linear feet. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The NC 55 roadway improvement project is being completed to improve safety for all travelers and reduce traffic congestion through the corridor by adding turn lanes and improving intersections in the area of the proposed Parkside Town Commons Development. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The mixed use Parkside Town Commons Development is proposed to be located in the NE quadrant of the NC540 and NC55 interchange in Cary. The Parkside Town Commons Development has already been permitted with NCDWQ (#EXP 07-1503) and USACE (#2005-21328 and 2007-04171) and is considered Phase I of this project. Teer Associates was listed with Kite Realty as co-applicants for Phase I; Teer Associates is no longer involved in the project. Phase II includes the roadway improvements required to the surrounding infrastructure as a result of this development. NC55, O'Kelly Chapel Road, Morrisville Carpenter Road, McKrimmon Parkway will all be widened to facilitate new turn lanes. The railroad crossing on Carpenter Fire Station Road will be removed and a new crossing placed on O'Kelly Chapel Road. Three existing stream crossings occur within the roadway project area. One crossing (O'Kelly Stream Impact #1) has a permanent impact of 8 linear feet associated with a culvert extension. Another crossing (O'Kelly Stream Impact #2) has a permanent impact of 14 linear feet also related to a culvert extension. (Stream Impact #3 has been removed and is no longer shown on the impact maps). The third crossing (NC 55 Site #4) will involve the installation of a floodplain culvert to be bored and jacked under NC55 parallel to the perennial stream. The stream will be protected in this area and no impacts are expected to occur. Wetlands are located near Kit Creek (NC 55 Site #5) within the project area and are not being impacted by this project. Typical roadway construction equipment will be used including backhoes, bulldozers, pans, pavers, rollers, sheepsfoot, and dumptrucks. The floodplain culvert will be installed using jack and bore equipment. Page 3 of 12 PCN Form - Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. This project is dependent on the location of existing roadway with little flexibility to completely avoid impacts. However, multiple areas were redesigned to minimize impacts to streams and wetlands. Referring to the attached site plan, the impact at site 1 was shortened by 3 feet, the temporary impact at site 3 has been removed, site 4 includes a floodplain culvert for high stormwater flows; the floodplain culvert will be installed in such a way as to avoid impacts to the perennial stream that flows under NC 55. The stormwater outfall drainage ditch at Site 5 was shortened to avoid impacts to jurisdictional wetlands near Kit Creek on the east side of NC55. As a result of these redesigns, only 22 feet of unavoidable impact to perennial streams at Site 1 and 2 remains. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Typical sediment and erosion control measures will be taken onsite. Silt fences and temporary sediment basins will be utilized to prevent sediment from entering streams and wetlands. Silt fencing and other protective fencing will be used at the bore and jack site at Site 4 to protect that perennial stream from disturbance due to construction equipment. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? ® Yes ?

You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity including SL 2009-337• An Act to Promote Compensatory Mitigation by Private Mitigation Banks This acceptance is valid for nine months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. 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.

If the regulatory agencies require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
