Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.01 acres of wetlands, 37 feet of streams and 16,207 square feet (ft2)
(approximately 0.372 acres) of protected riparian buffers for the purpose of installing a sewer system at
the subject property, as described within your application dated May 25, 2004 and received by the N.C.
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 25, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3374 (GC3374). The
Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 12 when issued by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to
the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 213 .0233. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise
comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project
including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this
approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in
your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached

Stonegate Subdivision WETLANDS / 401 GROUP
Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 2805.W1
Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Burdette: WK-1 K ti;r 1 I1 Y SECTION
On behalf of Matt Kirkpatrick (property owner) of Stonegate Partners, LLC, we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 12
for the subject project to cover temporary impacts to a stream channel. We also request
written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality (NC-DWQ) that the project
complies with the Neuse River Basin buffer rules. A Pre-construction Notification
Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent Authorization Form.
The proposed project, which consists of a mixed use development, is located
approximately 3/4 mile southeast of the intersection of Ligon Mill Road (SR 2044 and
Burlington Road (SR 2045). The site is bounded to the east by Forestville Road. Toms
Creek is approximately 1,000 feet west of the site. Please refer to the USGS topographic
map attached for the location of the project. S&EC conducted a detailed wetland
delineation and Neuse River Basin (NRB) Riparian Buffer evaluation on property in
December 1998.
An unnamed tributary to Toms Creek is present on the eastern portion of the site. The
applicant proposes temporary impacts to 37 Linear feet of perennial stream channel and
0.01 acres of wetlands for installing a sanitary sewer crossing to service the residential
development. See attached Impact D. In addition, buffer Impacts in zone 1 & 2 are
necessary for sewer line easements and creek crossings (Zone 1=2821s.f. / Zone
2=13386s.f.). See attached Impacts A-C.
Nationwide permits 12, 14, and 26 were issued for use on St. Andrews (an adjacent
property), Phase II in June of 1994 (Action ID Number 199402915). These permits

authorized impacts to 0.53 acre of wetlands (0.28 for utility lines, 0.18 for road crossings,
and 0.07 for driveways). 401 Water Quality Certification was issued for these impacts
(DEM Project # 94487).
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of forested wetland due to utility
installation or pump stations. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant has
limited the width of the crossing to 37 feet and proposes to cross the channel nearly
perpendicular. Because impacts are temporary, S&EC does not believe mitigation should
be required by the USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the client proposes
payment to the EEP (Ecosystem Enhancement Program).
DWQ's current policy allows parallel impacts to Zone 2 for non-electric utility lines with
prior approval and parallel Impacts to Zone 1 are allowable with buffer mitigation.
Because approximately 1023 SF of zone 1 will have parallel impacts, the applicant
proposes payment to EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements.
Sincerely,

Todd Preuninger

******************************************************************************************
******************
Impact Description and Justification
The proposed sanitary sewer for the Stonegate community will be a gravity-collection
system constructed within two primary drainage basins. Since pump stations are
undesirable within a residential community, the entire collection system will be gravity.
Consequently, sewage flow from the subdivision will gravity flow to two existing manholes
located to the north and to the west of the project site. The portion of sanitary sewer
conveying sewage to the manhole on the western side of the project will not infringe on
any wetland or stream buffers. However, the portion of sanitary sewer conveying sewage to
the manhole on the northern side of the project will cross one stream and have parallel
buffer impacts.
Stream Crossing and Perpendicular Buffer Impacts
The stream crossing occurs on the eastern side of the project area along the sanitary
sewer alignment extending from the south to the manhole on the north end of the site. In
order to avoid crossing a tributary to the main stream, the sewer alignment would need to
be offset about 400 feet to the west. However, this offset would require installation of
a segment of sewer considerably deeper than the proposed current alignment.
Parallel Impacts
The remaining buffer impact areas are required in order to minimize installation of sewer
in relatively shallow bedrock and to minimize the extent of deeply buried sewer required.
As shown on the attached plan, the sanitary sewer along the northern property line where
the majority of impact occurs, is to be located along the rear property lines for the lots
along the lake. The depths of these lots are not considerable. Therefore, it is
necessary to align the sewer as far to the rear of the lots as possible in order to allow
for a reasonable building envelope. The sanitary sewer alignment for this segment flowing
to the northern manhole has been designed to minimize stream and buffer impacts.

Buffer evaluation on property in December 1998 order to determine the extent and location of
wetlands streams and buffers The applicant plans to cross the channel at an approximately
perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and riparian buffer. The
USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream
impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require compensatory mitigation to offset
unavoidable losses forested wetlands due to utility line installation. See also the attached letter
of justification -

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.
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 EEP (formerly 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/stn-ngide.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.
The jurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts
to the creek on-site will be minimized by crossings at perpendicular ankles. Because the
impacts are temporary, we do not believe mitigation should be required for stream or wetland
impacts However, we realize buffer mitigation will be required by the NC-DWQ for parallel
impacts to the buffers
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:

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 ?
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 ?
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.
Sewer Line Crossing
Zone* Impact Multiplier Required

Total 116,207 (0.37 acres) I I NA
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.
Current NC-DWQ policy allows parallel impacts to Zone 2 for non-electric utility lines. Parallel
Impacts to Zone 1 are allowable with buffer mitigation. Parallel impacts to Zone 1 (1023 SF)
will require mitigation. We propose payment to EEP for buffer impacts.
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.
NA
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.
Sanitary sewer will serve the site property.
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
