APPROVAL of Neuse River Buffer Rules with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Rathie:
You have our approval to construct a road crossing impacting 0.32 acre of Neuse Buffers associated with an
unnamed tributary to Stirrup Iron Creek at the Pagehurst Subdivision in Durham County. This application was
received by the Division of Water Quality on December 19, 2000. This approval is valid for the Neuse River
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213 .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and
Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires
unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid 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 for a new certification. If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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, compens, °,)ry 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 Neuse Buffer Rules and the additional : onditions listed
below:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds. 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). A sample deed notification format can be
downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands .
2. An additional condition is that stormwater shall be directed to diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the
protected stream buffers
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this approval, 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
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O.
Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.

RE: Nationwide Permit39/Neuse River Buffer Compliance Request
Pagehurst Subdivision
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina
(Latitude/Longitude: 35°55'29" N 78°48'51"W)
S&EC Project #: 00-5313
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Tugwell:
On behalf of Mr. Satpal Rathie (property owner), we hereby request authorization from
the US Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 39 for the subject project to
cover permanent impacts to stream channels. 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.
S&EC delineated the wetlands and jurisdictional waters present on the subject site in
March 2000. Only one jurisdictional channel feature, shown on the attached impact map,
occurs within the road corridor. No wetlands were observed within the road corridor.
One upland data form completed for the wetland delineation is also attached.
This phase of the proposed project consists of a residential subdivision of 67 lots, located
on the southwest corner of Lumley Road (SR1966) and Page Road (SR1973). Please
refer to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle. The current phase comprises approximately 35 acres (See attached map).

Page 2 of 2
Construction of a road to serve the proposed subdivision will impact only the
jurisdictional channel. This road will impact 140 linear feet (116' pipe + 24' rip-rap =
140') of an approximately 3.5-foot-wide (490 sq. ft. or 0.01 ac.) stream channel, which is
also subject to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules (NRB). Approximately 14,000 square
feet (0.32 Ac.) of riparian buffer (Zone 1, 8400 sq. ft./Zone 2, 5600 sq. ft.) will be
impacted by the proposed road. It is important to note that no wetlands will be impacted
at this road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and mitigate for impacts to
offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements for
notification (0.10 acre). This road crossing was designed to cross the stream channel at a
nearly perpendicular angle and the right-of-way width was reduced as much as possible
to minimize the impacts associated with the crossing.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for wetland and stream channel
impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet. Because the proposed impacts resulting from
this project do not exceed the aforementioned thresholds (0.01 acre/140 linear feet),
S&EC believes that wetland or stream channel mitigation should not be required.
However, if mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the NC Wetland
Restoration Program.
In May 2000, Mr. Bob Zarzecki, of the NC-DWQ, visited the subject property to
determine which features are subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules (NBRO Project # 00-
191). The tributary of Stirrup Iron Creek that will be impacted by the proposed road is
subject to the Neuse River Basin riparian buffer rules. This road was designed to cross
the stream channel and corresponding riparian buffer at a perpendicular angle to
minimize impacts. As noted above, the road crossing impacts less than 150 linear feet of
stream channel and less than 1/3 acre of riparian buffer. Current NC-DWQ policy allows
road crossing without mitigation if the impacts are less than or equal to 150 linear feet of
stream channel or 1/3 of an acre of riparian buffer. Because the project impacts are
within these thresholds, S&EC believes that riparian buffer mitigation should not be
required.

Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Tugwell:
On behalf of Mr. Satpal Rathie (property owner), we hereby request authorization from
the US Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 39 for the subject project to
cover permanent impacts to stream channels. 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.
S&EC delineated the wetlands and jurisdictional waters present on the subject site in
March 2000. Only one jurisdictional channel feature, shown on the attached impact map,
occurs within the road corridor. No wetlands were observed within the road corridor.
One upland data form completed for the wetland delineation is also attached.
This phase of the proposed project consists of a residential subdivision of 67 lots, located
on the southwest corner of Lumley Road (SRI 966) and Page Road (SRI 973). Please
refer to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle. The current phase comprises approximately 35 acres (See attached map).

Construction of a road to serve the proposed subdivision will impact only the
jurisdictional channel. This road will impact 140 linear feet (116' pipe + 24' rip-rap =
140') of an approximately 3.5-foot-wide (490 sq. ft. or 0.01 ac.) stream channel, which is
also subject to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules (NRB). Approximately 14,000 square
feet (0.32 Ac.) of riparian buffer (Zone 1, 8400 sq. ft./Zone 2, 5600 sq. ft.) will be
impacted by the proposed road. It is important to note that no wetlands will be impacted
at this road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and mitigate for impacts to
offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements for
notification (0.10 acre). This road crossing was designed to cross the stream channel at a
nearly perpendicular angle and the right-of-way width was reduced as much as possible
to minimize the impacts associated with the crossing.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for wetland and stream channel
impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet. Because the proposed impacts resulting from
this project do not exceed the aforementioned thresholds (0.01 acre/140 linear feet),
S&EC believes that wetland or stream channel mitigation should not be required.
However, if mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the NC Wetland
Restoration Program.
In May 2000, Mr. Bob Zarzecki, of the NC-DWQ, visited the subject property to
determine which features are subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules (NBRO Project # 00-
191). The tributary of Stirrup Iron Creek that will be impacted by the proposed road is
subject to the Neuse River Basin riparian buffer rules. This road was designed to cross
the stream channel and corresponding riparian buffer at a perpendicular angle to
minimize impacts. As noted above, the road crossing impacts less than 150 linear feet of
stream channel and less than 1/3 acre of riparian buffer. Current NC-DWQ policy allows
road crossing without mitigation if the impacts are less than or equal to 150 linear feet of
stream channel or 1/3 of an acre of riparian buffer. Because the project impacts are
within these thresholds, S&EC believes that riparian buffer mitigation should not be
required.
