Re: NCSU Main Campus Drive and South East Entrance Drive
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the'Neuse River Buffer Protection
Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Dear Mr. Worsley,
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in
0.10 acres of wetlands and 460 feet of streams for the purpose of constructing the Main Campus Drive and South East
Entrance Drive at Centennial Campus and 60 feet of stream for the placement of a rip-rap apron associated with the South
East Entrance Drive crossing, as you described within your original Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application
dated January 18, 2000 with revisions on August 8, 2000 and July 11, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General -Water Quality Certification Number 3289 and 3108' This Certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 and 26 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 as required under
15A NCAC 213 .0233(8). In addition, you should get any other required federal, state or local permits before you go
ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control. Also, this approval will expire when
the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This Certification replaces
the one issued to you on August 15, 2000.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your revised application except as
modified below. 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, compensatory wetland mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h). For this approval to
be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the DWQ General Certification No. 3287 and any additional conditions
listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas
within 50 feet of surface waters to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetlands and/or water
impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404
Permit (whichever is later).
2. Stormwater shall be directed to flow at non-erosive velocities across the entire protected stream buffers.
3. You are required to mitigate for impacts to the streams and their protected riparian buffers. The required area of
mitigation to compensate for impacts to the streams and their protected riparian buffers is 520 feet of stream and
124,800 square feet of buffer as required under 15A NCAC 2H.0506 and 213 .0242. DWQ shall be copied on a buffer
and stream mitigation plan for these impacts within 10 days of the issuance of this approval. This Certification is -not

valid until a mitigation plan is approved by this office. (The 124,800 square feet of buffer mitigation was calculated
by multiplying the buffered area associated with 520 feet of stream by the required mitigation ratios as per 15A
- - NCAC 2B .0242: The DWQ will ,be willing to revise this number if the applicant provides information indicating the
exact amount of impact to Zone 1 and 2 of the protected buffers associated with the road crossings.)
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

Gib! ter- ^^•??ahis+ti. .
Dear John: ?'' saw raw. Z do
We respectfully request a modification to the approval of 401 Quality Certification for the
crossing of the "Unnamed Tributary" by Southeast Entrance Drive, DWQ Project # 000060.
The disturbance to the "Unnamed Tributary" leading out of the existing farm pond north ofu i
Southeast Entrance Drive has increased by ±60 linear feet from the original permit. The cz
increase resulted from the extension of the riprap apron at the inlet of the twin 60" RCP storm
pipe system northward to the base of the pond's dam. The extension of the riprap apron will
protect the channel in this area from further erosion caused by discharge from the outlet of the
pond. Enclosed please find a Vicinity Map and a Wetlands Impact Map for your use.
We have requested and received the 404 general permit verification from the US Army Corps
of Engineers Action ID # 200020270 for the above mentioned modification from Todd
Tugwell.
We look forward to your favorable response of our request. Please call us if you require any
additional information.
Sincerely,
Julie T. Sherk

Main Campus Drive and South East Entrance Connector, " August 15 2000.
2) Letter, From Marc Recktenwald to Bob Zarzecki, "Unbuffered Stream as Mitigation
Credit," September 7, 2000.
Dear Mr. Dorney:
The University is committed to mitigating for impacts to streams and Neuse River buffers on
Centennial Campus. Several areas are currently being evaluated for suitability of on-site mitigation for
streams and buffers. The College of Veterinary Medicine and the Lake Wheeler Field Research
Laboratory are being evaluated as possible stream and buffer restoration sites. Additionally, a tributary
to Lake Raleigh, located on the Southwest corner of Lake Raleigh, is being considered for buffer
preservation.
The University is awaiting two items in order to make a decision as to how best to proceed. These
items include a suitability and cost analysis of restoration projects being prepared by NC State Water
Quality Group, and the preservation assessment of the Lake Raleigh tributary being conducted by
DWQ staff, as requested in the referenced letter.
We expect to have the information by 30 September 2000 and will provide written confirmation of the
University's mitigation plan at that time. If on-site mitigation proves not to be a practical alternative,
the University will fulfill its mitigation requirement through payment to the Wetlands Restoration
Program.
If there are any questions, or if you need any additional information, please contact Marc Recktenwald
at 515-6850.

SUBJECT: South East Entrance Drive at NC State Centennial Campus
Dear John:
We would like to amend the 401 Quality Certification for the South East Entrance Drive to
reflect a reduction in the amount of impacts to wetlands. Because of a realignment of South
East Entrance Drive, there will be fewer impacts to the wetlands there. We had requested and
had been approved for 0.371 acre of total disturbance in the DWQ Project # 000060. The
disturbance for the South East Entrance Drive is now 0.10acres versus 0.371. We would also
like to amend the records for cumulative impacts to this point.
Enclosed please find a site plan for the new alignment for the South East Entrance Drive for
your use, and the Approval of 401 Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
and Neuse River Buffer Rules for this project.
Also, please advise what, if any will be the mitigation requirements for this disturbance.
Thank you for you help. Please call us with any questions 821-5645.

Raleigh, NC 27695
Dear Mr. Worsley:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 0.25 acres
of wetlands, 460 linear feet of streams for the
Central Cam us, as purpose of constructing the Main Campus Drive and Smith East Entrance Drive at
pus, you described in your application dated January 18, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3102 and 3108. These certifications allow you to use
Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 26 when the Corps of Engineers issues them. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River
buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .033). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, No Discharge and Water Supply
t
Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA
specified in the General Certification. Permit expires unless otherwise
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified below. 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 wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required
as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6). and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit
expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed
in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within 50
feet of all streams and ponds to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These
mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later).
2. Stormwater shall be directed to flow at non-erosive velocities across the entire protected stream buffers.
3. DWQ shall be copied on a buffer and stream mitigation plan for these impacts within 60 days of the issuance of this approval.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60
days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North _-
Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611=7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-9 j46^ _

ISSUE CONDITIONAL No impacts to buffer, creek
delineated at eastern edge
and protected. Need to see where houses go on
;lots 20, 21, and 41
000060 NCSU Main Campus Drive This is a huge project and needs
careful attention.
Says that South Creek is not impacted by this
project but there is a new interchange
planned off of I 40 for the golf course that must
cross it. 260 ft of Xing Walnut
Creek requires mitigation $$$$$. There also is
impact to 200 ft of UT to Walnut and
an additional crossing of water of the Neuse at the
Sod Fathers old pi And do
NO .FORG the impacts that they propose at the golf
course.
I DON'T KNOW... .....You decide.

A. PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
North Carolina State University intends to construct a multilane roadway system (Main
Campus Drive South and the connector between Main Campus Drive and Centennial
Parkway). Construction will begin from the existing southern stub-out of Main Campus
Drive at its intersection with Capability Drive South and eastward approximately 3,600
linear feet past its proposed intersection with future eastern Main Campus Entrance Drive,
across Walnut Creek to the southern entrance of the proposed Campus Conference Hotel
facility. The proposed section of Main Campus Drive will be 43 feet wide. The Connector
to Centennial Parkway will be approximately 1,450 linear feet, and 78 feet wide. Portions
of the proposed alignment have been cleared and rough graded in conjunction with the
restoration of the Lake Raleigh Dam.
The proposed roadway system is being designed to meet the North Carolina State
University Centennial Campus, Phase I, master plan zoning compliance documents. Main
Campus Drive South is proposed to be constructed as a 43' back to back curb and gutter
roadway from its existing termination to a point south of Walnut Creek where it will
provide access to the future Conference Center development. In later phases it is to be
continued southward eventually connecting to the Magnet Middle School. The Southeast
Entrance Connector between Main Campus Drive South and Centennial Parkway is
proposed to be constructed as a multi-lane facility with a 16-foot wide divided median. It
will be ±1,450 feet in length. The improvements and construction of Main Campus Drive
South and connector to Centennial Parkway will include a landscaped shoulder and median
as well as pedestrian sidewalks, and bike lanes.
The roadway will cross Walnut Creek utilizing a system of multiple box culverts. The
unnamed tributary crossing will be made using reinforced concrete pipe.
B. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR PROPOSED PROJECT
The project will provide multi lane roadways, bikeways, and sidewalks for utilization by
motored vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians on Centennial Campus. It will compliment the
existing vehicular circulation system and provide an additional link for ingress and egress to
the developing Centennial Campus.
C. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
In the Master Planning Phase of Centennial Campus and in the design development of the
project, several alignments have been considered. The alternative chosen has the least
impacts on Walnut Creek, South Creek, the unnamed tributary, wetlands, floodplain, and
Neuse Buffers. Other alignments studied encroached into the floodplain to a greater
extent, crossed stream channels at angles, paralleled streams within buffer areas and
crossed through the middle rather than edges of wetlands.
The no action alternative would result in a no build situation. This would represent a
failure of the University to meet its commitments to both the people of North Carolina and
the University's corporate partners. Alternative alignments would not serve the existing
and/or proposed development outlined in the approved Campus Master Plan. Selection of
an alternative alignment would be less supportive of existing development and would not
take advantage of the previously improved alignment. Selection of alternative alignments
for these roads would therefore be less supportive of existing and planned development.
D. EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROJECT AREA
(1) (2) Topography & Soils
The site is located in the Raleigh Belt of the Piedmont physiographic province.
According to the USDA Soil Survey for Wake County (Exhibit 5) most of the site falls in
the (Ceie3) Cecil series. These soils are typical of the region and present no constraints to
urban development. Slopes along the proposed alignment range from 0% to 18% with
elevations varying from 266 feet to 320 feet MSL. Exceptions to this description are
several areas of cut and fill material excavated and/or placed on the site during the repair of
the Lake Raleigh Dam and construction of other facilities on the campus. Soils in this area
have been classified as the Cecil (CeF), Chewacla (Cm), Wilkes (WmF) Series according to
the Wake County Soils Survey. No water table was encountered in the vicinity of this
project during the prior grading operations and repairs to the dam.
Off site borrow will be necessary for the project. Imported fill will be obtained from areas
previously designated for borrow areas on Centennial Campus or areas approved for
excavation under separate local, State, or Federal permit approvals and permits. Should it
become necessary to dispose of unsuitable soil material, it will be removed to areas
previously designated for waste soil material off campus. All appropriate permits will be
obtained for off site borrow and waste areas if not already in place.
(3) Land Use
This project will impact approximately 1.0 acres of currently rough graded land and ±16.0
acres of undisturbed area. It will also impact ± 175 linear feet of Walnut Creek's channel,
±175 linear feet of the unnamed tributary's channel, adjacent flood plain areas, and
approximately ±0.30 acres of Jurisdictional wetlands adjacent to Walnut Creek and its
tributary.
The approved Master Plan for the Centennial Campus, the Open Space and Recreation,
and previous environmental documents collectively describe a coherent organization of
land uses within the Centennial Campus. The proposed project is in keeping with these
documents and is consistent with the carrying capacity of the natural systems throughout
the campus.
4
Adjacent land uses consist of undeveloped Centennial Campus land to the east and west,
Lake Raleigh and undeveloped land to the south and the existing Centennial Campus
buildings to the north. The proposed project will provide access to new and proposed sites
on the campus as well as an additional point of ingress and egress for the campus.
(4) Wetlands
Approximately 175 linear feet of 404 and 401 jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the
banks of Walnut Creek and its tributary will be impacted by the proposed alignment.
Approximately ±030 acres of 404 jurisdictional wetlands adjacent to the two creeks will
also be impacted. (Exhibit #6).
(5) Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands
The supplement to the 1982 Wake County Soil Survey entitled Important Farmland
indicates no important farmland on this site. Although portions of the property appear to
have been farmed in the past, no farming activity has occurred within recent years.
According to Mr. Milton Cortes of the USDA (Exhibit #7), there are no unique farmlands
in the area. USDA criteria outlines that prime farmland does not include land already in or
committed to urban development or water storage. Prime farmland `already in' urban
development includes all land that has been designated for commercial or industrial use or
residential use that is not intended at the same time to protect farmland in a 1. Zoning
code or ordinance adopted by a state or local unit of government or 2. A comprehensive
land use plan which has expressly been either adopted or reviewed in its entirety by the unit
of local government in whose jurisdiction it is operative within 10 years preceding the
implementation of the project.
(6) Public Lands and Scenic, Recreational, and State Natural Areas
The Centennial Campus property is owned by the State of North Carolina and allocated to
NC State University for management. Neither parkland nor designated or recognized
scenic areas nor any "informal" recreational uses presently exists on the proposed site.
(7) Areas of Archaeological or Historic Value
The survey of Centennial Campus by Thomas H. Hargrove of Archaeological Research
Consultants, Inc. in November 1986 and included in the Environmental Impact Statement
for North Carolina State University Centennial Campus identified no significant discoveries
of archeological or historical value. (Exhibit #8)
(8) Air Quality
Currently, Wake County is in attainment for all criteria pollutants. However, the county is
undergoing evaluation for redesignation for ozone to nonattainment. The proposed site is
within the City of Raleigh limits Current sources of air emissions in the area are
automobiles and heating boilers, air handling units, and emergency generators from nearby
office buildings, labs, and classrooms. During dry periods dust from adjacent construction
and the unimproved roadway also contribute to particulate matter in the air.
(9) Noise Levels
Current noise levels are minimal since the roadway currently terminates at the southern end
of the existing Centennial Campus. Existing noise levels in the vicinity are largely
attributable to automobile traffic. Existing Main Campus Drive, Centennial Parkway,
Research Drive, Capability Drive, and to construction repairs to Lake Raleigh and its dam
and to building construction on nearby Centennial Campus projects.
(10) Water Resources (Surface Water and Groundwater)
The proposed project falls within the Lake Raleigh/Walnut Creek Watershed. Lake
Raleigh is now classified as WS-III-NB-NSW and will once again be a valuable natural
resource when restored, making it important as a recreational and visual asset to Centennial
Campus. The proposed roadway will drain to Lake Raleigh and to Walnut Creek and the
unnamed tributary to Walnut Creek.
Through July 1986, Lake Raleigh was classified as a WS-II water supply for the City of
Raleigh. The lake was reclassified to its current status by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management, Water Quality Section. This designation allows for
recreational uses, but still provides protection as a water supply. In September 1996, Lake
Raleigh's dam failed due to the heavy rains associated with Hurricane Fran and the lake
drained. In the near future, it is expected to function as a lake again. The University is
committed to a stormwater management system designed to prevent reduction of the water
quality in Lake Raleigh and is currently working to restore the dam and remove sediment
deposition from the lakebed.
Soil borings along the proposed alignments revealed groundwater existing at locations
between 1.5 and 2 feet below the existing grade in the vicinity of Walnut Creek. It is
expected that the proposed crossings at Walnut Creek and the smaller creek will have a
minor effect on the groundwater levels near these two crossings. These impacts will be
confined mainly to the construction phase of the project. The borings reveal no significant
pattern of ground water. In the areas adjacent to the proposed roadway where boring for
other projects have been performed, groundwater did not exist at levels of the proposed
6
excavations. No ground water has been encountered in the proposed borrow area or
potential spoil areas. Copies of the soil report can be made available upon request.
The Walnut Creek drainage way is located on the southern side of the alignment. It is
classified as B NSW water. The creek is the discharge for Lake Raleigh and a watershed
of several square miles at its proposed crossing. Other surface drainage to the east and
north consists of surface swales, an old farm pond; and the unnamed tributary to Walnut
Creek, which is discharge from the pond. The unnamed tributary and Walnut Creek are the
only surface features, which will be impacted by the proposed alignment. South Creek,
which flows into Walnut Creek-from-the southern-part -of Centennial Campus, will not be
impacted by this project. (See Exhibits #3 & #6).
(11) Forest Resources
N/A
(12) Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats
Walnut Creek and its unnamed tributary to the north are both perennial stream which will
be crossed by the proposed project. Both have been noted in previous documents as being
aquatic habitat. Common species of fish and other aquatic fauna that are found in typical
urbanized piedmont streams can be expected to exist in Walnut Creek and its unnamed
tributary. These have been documented in the approved EIS for Centennial Campus.
(13) Wildlife and Natural Vegetation
According to the National Institute for Urban Wildlife's inventory of the terrestrial ecology
for the Environmental Impact Statement for North Carolina State Centennial Campus,
there are no unique habitat or species and no threatened or endangered species present on
the Centennial Campus site. Since the project alignments have been significantly disturbed
in conjunction with prior agricultural and campus projects, wildlife habitat has already been
effected within the project area. Areas other than those already impacted include large
areas of Kudzu and mixed hardwood and pine forest. Neither protected species nor
indicators of such species have been found along the proposed alignment or in either
Walnut Creek or its northern tributary.

N/A
(3) Land Use
Changes in land use will be consistent with the North Carolina State University Centennial
Campus Master Plan, the Open Space and Recreation Master Plan, the FEIS and
previously submitted EA's. The additional point of ingress and egress at Centennial
Parkway will provide for better surface vehicular access to the campus.
(4) Wetlands
The proposed project will impact ± 175 linear feet of Walnut Creek's channel and its
tributary's channel and ±0.30 acres adjacent flood plain which have been delineated as 404
jurisdictional areas.
(5) Prime or Unique agricultural Lands
N/A
(6) Public Lands and Scenic, Recreational, and State Natural areas
N/A
(7) Areas of Archaeological or Historical Value
N/A
(8) Air Quality
As indicated in the FEIS for Centennial Campus, there will be temporary, localized impacts
on air quality from dust and exhaust emissions resulting from land clearing and
construction activities. Open burning will not be permitted during construction, as stated
in the FEIS. Building programs are not anticipated to generate fumes or other problematic
emissions. Traffic analysis provided by Kimley Horn & Associates for the Centennial
Campus EIS and other documents indicate the projected level of service for this project
and intersections exterior to the campus will not be reduced to levels which would cause
air quality to decline. With the second connection to Centennial Parkway constructed with
this project, air quality related to exhaust emissions could see potential improvements.
Due to the type and scope of the proposed project and the traffic projections prepared for
the EIS and Master Plan, no air quality permit is required.
8

(9) Noise Levels
Noise levels, which will be generated within and around the proposed roadways and
walkway systems, will not be objectionable. During the building of the project and future
structures adjacent to the roadways, noise levels normally associated with construction will
occur. It is projected that vehicles utilizing the roadways after their completion will not
create significant noise levels.
(10) Water Resources (Surface Waters and Groundwater)
Ground water is not expected to be encountered during construction except where it may
exist in the vicinity of the Walnut Creek and tributary culvert construction. However, if it
is, appropriate measures consistent with the FEIS and regulatory constraints will be
employed. Measures will be taken to divert ground and surface water through or around
the construction. Permanent measures will be installed to assure that neither ground nor
surface water is trapped by the project.
The construction of Main Campus Drive South and connector to Centennial Parkway with
the associated walkways and median will create approximately 6.5 acres of impervious
surface. Stormwater runoff from these areas will be directed to stormwater facilities along
the roadways and piped to existing natural surface features on Centennial Campus.
Conveyance facilities will consist of subsurface storm drainage culverts, curb and gutter,
and overland flow.
The stormwater run off velocity from the project will be controlled as described in the
FEIS developed for Centennial Campus. The direction of surface water runoff will remain
as it now is, into Lake Raleigh, Walnut Creek and its tributary. There will be no new
impervious surface that will not have run off velocity controlled prior to discharge into the
receiving natural drainage way. With controls in place, long-term increases in stormwater
velocity from the project area are not expected, nor will there be any long-term detrimental
impacts on stormwater or groundwater quality. Minimal short-term impacts to surface
waters may be seen from land disturbing activities associated with construction of the
project. Areas subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rules have been identified within this
project. The Neuse River rules apply to the Walnut Creek's and its tributary's streambeds
and 50 feet on both sides of the streams as measured from top of bank. Prior to
construction, a sediment and erosion control permit will be obtained for all areas to be
disturbed during this project. An NPDES permit for the construction will also be obtained,
if necessary.
Existing measures have been incorporated into the Centennial Campus to reduce
stormwater velocities, quantities and suspended solids. Additional stormwater velocity
control measures are to be incorporated into this project. Based on the currently available
information and the existing and proposed improvements, this project will have no
9
long-term adverse impact on groundwater, surface waters, or the eutrophication of
receiving waters.
(11) Forest Resources
N/A
(12) Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats
There will be no long-term impact to aquatic species due to this project. However, some
fish may have short-term displacement and incidental mortality during the construction of
the stream crossings.

N/A
(14) Introduction of Toxic Substances
No toxic wastes should be associated with this project. No operations should occur which
would generate such wastes within the Limits of this project.
F. MITIGATIVE MEASURES
The University is committed to ensure that development on Centennial Campus is
conducted in accordance with responsible land stewardship, as well as the
recommendations and agreements included in the FEIS, approved Phase I Master Plan and
Zoning Conditions established for the.campus. The following measures are to be employed
to mitigate the possible adverse environmental consequences of this development.

(4) Wetlands
The waters of Walnut Creek, its unnamed tributary and adjacent jurisdictional wetlands
adjacent to the two streams will be protected by sediment and erosion control facilities
during construction and by sediment control and storm water velocity controls as described
in the previous environmental documents for Centennial Campus.
Proposed alignments have been designed to avoid wetlands where possible and to cross
Walnut Creek and its tributary at as close to perpendicular as possible. The jurisdictional
areas proposed to be impacted by the project have been minimized and will be permitted
accordingly. Where required by the permitting agencies, the necessary disturbance to the
creek channels and adjacent wetlands will be mitigated elsewhere on the campus or the
appropriate mitigation fees paid to the designated wetland funds.
Where Neuse River Buffers are impacted by the stream crossings, disturbed areas adjacent
to the completed roadways will be restored to woody vegetation.

(10) Water Resources (Surface Water and Groundwater)
Stormwater management will be provided at pipe outlets via velocity control measures.
These provisions will mitigate the water velocity impacts of the proposed project.
11

The control of sedimentation and erosion will be outlined on plans submitted to and
approved by the NCDENR Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section and the City
of Raleigh (courtesy review) for this project. Methods and devices to meet these
requirements will be installed and maintained to provide proper control and prevent offsite
damage. Care will be taken to contain sediment and keep it from entering Lake Raleigh,
Walnut Creek, and the unnamed tributary. The disturbed area associated with this project
will be reseeded and stabilized immediately following the construction. The areas adjacent
to roadways and walks will be landscaped with trees and shrubs at the appropriate time of
year depending on species.
The proposed crossings of Walnut Creek and its unnamed tributary will be designed and .
constructed to cross the streams at as close to perpendicular as possible. Inlets and outlets
at the crossings will be designed to control excess velocities. The buffers adjacent to
construction will be protected with the appropriate barriers. Provisions for future utilities
will be made within the crossings to prevent future disturbance.
(11) Forest Resources
Comments received from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources commission for
EA/FONSI 98-0227 have been reviewed in conjunction with the on going planning for the
Centennial Campus and will be taken into consideration as future landscape plans and
streetscapes are developed. Where appropriate, species will be selected and planted which
will afford value to wildlife in the short and long term.
Streetyard and pedestrian ways adjacent to the proposed roadway will include appropriate
plantings to limit views into existing and proposed parking areas and enhance the overall
Centennial Campus Master Plan and City of Raleigh zoning conditions. Landscaping of
areas adjacent to the roadways and pedestrian ways and within the medians will include
trees, shrubs, grasses, mulches and/or ground covers. Selection of plant material will take
into consideration species that might provide sources of food for songbirds and other
wildlife species found on the Centennial Campus.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDATIONS
In agreement with the recommendations of the approved Environmental Impact Statement
for NCSU Centennial Campus and this Environmental Assessment, the following
conclusions and recommendations are made:

The following information is in response to your request asking for information on farmlands in the Main
Campus Drive South Project.
Prime farmland does not include land already in or committed to urban development or water storage. Other
Prime Farmland "already in" urban development includes all land that has been designated for commercial or
industrial use or residential use that is not intended at the same time to protect farmland in a
1. Zoning code or ordinance adopted by the state or local unit of government or,
2. A comprehensive land use plan which has expressly been either adopted or reviewed in its entirety by
the unit of local government in whose jurisdiction it is operative within 10 years preceding the
implementation of the project or,
3. When funds have already been committed for utilities, water lines, and road replacement and
widening, the land is committed to development and can be exempt from having to make determination.
The area of reference may already be considered committed to urban development, by definition, and
according to the Federal Register 7 CFR Part 658, "Farmland Protection Policy Act; Final Rule" as revised
on January 1, 1999 edition.
Consequently there's no need to submit an AD 1006 FORM.
If you have any question please feel free to call me at [phone].

The Division of Water Quality (Division) has completed its review of the Environmental
Assessment for the Main Campus Drive South and Southeast Entrance Connector Road
on North Carolina State University's Centennial Campus in Wake County. The Division
has no objections to the project at this time. However, the applicant should be aware of
the following: an application for the impacts to wetlands and streams is required; sheet
flow must be established through the Neuse Buffer (stormwater cannot be conveyed
directly to stream, etc.); and additional stormwater measures may be required.

Staff biologist, with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have
raviewed the subicct document to det=m-nine impacts to fish and wildlife habitat. We are
Iamiliur with the pry ect site. Our comments are provided in accordance with certain
provisions of the 1' is i and Wildlife Coordination Aot (48 Stat: 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C.
661 et sec{.} and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-T through
113A-10; 1 NCAC 25).
The pmlect sponsor 1S proposing to construct a multilane roadway system.
Construction will begun from the oxisting southern stub-out of Main Campus Drive at its
intersection with Capability Drive South and extend eastward appproximately 3,600 linear
feet (LF past its proposed intersection with futwo eastern Main Campus Eripa ice l)tivu
across Walnut Creek to the southern entrance of the proposed Cainpus Conference I(otcl
facility.
'111 project wilt impact Vpprrooximately 1.0 acres of currently rough graded land and
approximately 16.0 acres of undisturbed area. The areas are vegetated with kudzu or
mixod hardwood-pine rorosl. The project will also impact appt4ximately 175 LF of
Walnut Creek'` channel and 0.30 acres ofJurisdictionQl wetlands adjacent to Walnut Crock
and a uibutury. An unspecirwd amount of floodplain area will be imputed. The Walnut
Creek crossing and an unnamed tributary crossing will be made using a Aystem of'multiple
box culverts and a reinforced concrete pipe respectively.
Our major concern with this project is the cumulative impacts to streams and to the
floodplain of Walnut Crcok. Floodplains provide important components of fish and
wildlife habitat and provide flood storage and water quality functions.
An nA/FQN$t for the Lake Ralelgh Drod$ ig Project is bving rovtawed

floodplain of Walnut Creek downstream of the dam. NCSU also has plans to build a golf
course on the surrounding lands downstream of the Lake Raleigh dam that could have
additional adverse impacts on floodpialns, wetlands aa2 water quality.
We are concerned about the cumulative impacts of floodplain fill along with
previous wetland fill associated with NCSUproJects. These Incremental impacts in
conjunction with other incremental impacts to a basin are likely to cause a significant
cumulative adverse impact on flood storage and water quality in this basin.
There has been a previous request for expenditure of federal funds to alleviate the
consequences of flooding to the Rochester Heights area within tltc Walnut Creek subbusin.
These flood projects typically request channel vnidening, riprapping of strcambanks and
oversize culverts. These type actions to treat the symptoms of poor floodplain prowotion
result in adverse impacts to fish and wildlife habitat.
It is not clear from the document what the impacts to the 100-yyear floodplain will
be from this project. We recently expressed concern (Lake Raleigh, DLNR No. 00-E-
0043) about the cumulative impacts to wetlands and floodplain resulting from
consuwtion of tho NCSU Centennial Campus.
We can concur with the pro( ect Provided that efforts are made to minimize the
direct impacts to wetlands and the floodplain and the cumulative impacts to the 100-year
floodplain are not significant. We will make recommendations as appropriate to reduce
impacts during permit roview:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input during the plan 11 stages for this
