APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules
Mr. L. W. Bennett, Jr.
Town of Fuquay-Varina
401 Honeycutt Road
Fuquay-Varina, NC 27528
Dear Mr. Bennetth:
You have our approval, to construct the Willow Creek sanitary sewer line in Fuquay-Varina as
you described in your revised application dated May 18, 2001 (original application dated March 29,
2001). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this project is covered by the Neuse
River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .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, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
1. Applicant is reminded that no impacts to Zone 1 of the protected stream buffer are
allowed except for crossings.
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 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. This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit
expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification.
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 Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726 or Steve
Mitchell at our Raleigh Regional Office at [phone].

lRe: Reply to the Division of Water Quality's April 27, 2001 letter requestitr, vmcnU ta1
for the proposed Willow Creek sanitary sewer line, Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North
Carolina
Dear Mr. Dorney:
This letter is in response to your letter dated April 27, 2001 (copy attached), which requested
additional justification for the placement of the proposed sewer line within wetlands. Because the
project will utilize a nationwide permit 12, written authorization for use of a 401 water quality
certification from DWQ is not required if the project complies with the conditions of the permit.
For this reason, the cover letter for the application stated at the top of the page that only the
approval of Neuse Buffer impacts was requested. The additional information you have requested
appears to apply to 401 certification issues and not buffer compliance issues. My response, which
follows, assumes that your letter is intended to address the buffer impacts. If further information is
required concerning the placement of the sewer line in order for you to provide buffer approval
please let me know.
Mr. Alan Keith's letter, which accompanied the permit request, stated that the north side of the
creek contained wetlands that the corridor was trying to avoid by being routed on the south side of
the creek. You requested to see the boundaries of the wetlands being avoided on the Stephens
Property, however I can not provide a delineation map of these areas due to the fact that I only had
permission from the property owner to delineate wetlands within and close to the corridor as shown
on the impact map. If your office would like to confirm that these areas exist, please call me so
that we can set up a site meeting. The placement of the corridor was negotiated with the property
owner and is currently within a recorded easement with the Town of Fuquay-Varina. If the line is
moved outside of the existing easement and the riparian buffer, the approximately 1500 linear foot
pipe would require deeper excavation and the casement would need to be rerecorded. A non-
perpendicular impact in Zone 2 of the Neuse River Riparian Buffers due to a non-electric utility
line is currently an "allowable" activity as described in 15A NCAC 2B.0233 (page 8). All
activities related to this project will abide by the conditions stated in 15A NCAC 213.0233.
The current alignment of the sewer line from the north side of the extensive wetland area to the
south side is an "exempt" activity as described in 15A NCAC 213.0233 (page 8) because it crosses
the channels perpendicularly and uses a corridor of less than 40 feet in width. In order to tie the
sewer lines together the wetland and creeks have to be crossed. The corridor route shown on the

impact map was chosen because it required less pipe be used with fewer turns (i.e. fewer places for
backups and overflows) while temporarily impacting very little if any more wetlands/creek than
would be impacted if the wetland and creek areas were crossed anywhere else.
Your letter stated that the applicant has three weeks to respond to the request or DWQ will assume
that the applicant no longer wants to pursue the project. Although we understand that this
timeframe can be extended with a telephone call to your office, it is still restrictive based on the
following. The letter was dated April 27, 2001; however, the applicant did not receive it until May
10, 2001. Additionally, the letter indicated that a copy was mailed to me as the authorized agent
for the project; however, I did not and have not yet received a copy from your agency. In this and
many other instances, the client assumes that I have received the information and am handling the
situation as necessary. Based on the above complications, we may not be aware of the request
until after the requested response time has lapsed. As suggested by your office, a stamped self
addressed envelope is included with this submittal to aid your office in sending further
correspondence relating to this project to me in a timely manner.
Please call if you have any questions or require further explanation.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark

RE: Nationwide Permit 12 and Neuse Buffer Compliance Request
Willow Creek Sanitary Sewer Line
Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms Jones and Mr. Dorney:
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization to use Nationwide Permit 12
to cover impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters (i.e. stream
channel) for the subject property and compliance with the Neuse River Basin
Buffer Rules. Wetland and Upland Data sheets for this site were submitted with
the earlier permit request (Action ID #'s referenced below). A Pre-construction
Notification Form is attached.
The proposed Willow Creek Sanitary Sewer Line is located south of Old
Honeycutt Road (SR 2765) and west of Highway 55. The sewer corridor ends
approximately 1.3 miles south of the intersection of Highway 55 and Highway
401 in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, NC (see attached USGS site vicinity map).
The ±78-acre property below Old Honeycutt Road contains approximately 28
acres of jurisdictional Waters of the US. Proposed impacts to waters for the
construction of the sewer line will total 0.26 acres including 60 I.f. of channel.
No other wetlands or channels are to be impacted. Construction of the sewer
line will comply with the general conditions stated within Nationwide Permit 12.
The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands present on the property prior
to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional Waters of the US to the
maximum extent practicable. The current sewer line corridor was chosen for
several reasons, which are contained in the attached letter from Diehl and
Wetland Delineation/Permitting/Mitigation Soil/Site Evaluations On-Site Septic Systems Environmental Assessments/Audits
Neuse Basin and Watershed Buffer Evaluations Groundwater Hydrology Endangered Species
Western Branch Offices: [phone] - [phone] - [phone]
Phillips, P.A. Due to the temporary nature of the impacts, S&EC, Inc. does not
believe that any wetland mitigation will be required. If for some reason however
mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the North Carolina
Wetland Restoration Program.
The sewer line is required to service the public park and the Willow Creek
residential subdivision south of Old Honeycutt Road.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined that the public park is also
considered part of this project. Also impacts related to the Willow Creek
Subdivision north of Honeycutt Road have been determined to be part of this
project. Impact totals for the entire tract are as follows:
Willow Creek (north of Old Honeycutt Road)
NWP 14: 0.18 acres (Action ID # 199708098)
NWP 26: 0.10 acres (Action ID # 199708099)
NWP 12: 0.13 acres (Action ID # 199708100)
Total: 0.41 acres (0.28 acres of permanent impacts)
Willow Creek (south of Old Honeycutt Road)
NWP 39: 0.34 acres (Action ID # 200120188)
NWP 12: 0.076 acres (Action ID # 200120187)
Total: 0.416 acres (0.34 acres of permanent impacts)
Honeycutt Park
NWP 39: 0.16 acres (Action ID # 200021195)
The entire tract's total wetland impacts are 0.986 acres. Of this total only 0.78
acres are permanent impacts. The additional proposed temporary impacts will
add another 0.26 acres of temporary impacts.
Three channels and their buffers will be impacted by nearly perpendicular
crossings. The sewer line corridor is only 20 feet wide (i.e. less than 40 feet)
and therefore should be exempt under the current Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Rules en i ular impacts to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers do occur and
tot 0.2764 acres he nonperpendicular Zone 2 impacts are necessary due to
stee y in these areas (see attached letter from Diehl and Phillips and
impact map).
Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC Division of Water Quality visited the proposed
corridor on January 31, 2001, however a confirmation letter has not yet been
received. Mr. Mitchell determined that the three features shown on the Wake
County Soil Survey (attached) draining from the south are not subject to the
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules.
Please call if you have questions or require further information. Please contact
S&EC, Inc. if you choose to visit the site so that someone may accompany you.

Re: Routing of Sanitary Sewer Outfall to serve Willow Creek Subdivision and the
Town of Fuquay-Varina Park, Fuquay-Varina, NC
Dear Sean:
The route of the sanitary sewer outfall to serve Willow Creek Subdivision and the Town
of Fuquay-Varina Park was chosen to balance cost, length of sewer, and environmental
impacts. Willow Creek Subdivision and the Town's Honeycutt Road Park are currently
under construction.
The sewer route as designed would minimize the length of sanitary sewer required to
serve both of the above projects. It is possible to run the sewer that is required to serve
the park on the north side of the wetlands, which parallel the branch. The park sewer
could cross the wetlands near the eastern property line of the park. However, this route
would add approximately 200 feet to the length of sewer required. The additional sewer
would cost approximately $10,000.00 and would add length to the sewer that must be
maintained by the Town. Further, the north route would cross playing fields, which will
be completed in the near future. We have concerns about the sewer construction
interfering with the seeding of playing fields with bermuda grass given the short time
window available to grow-in bermuda for playing fields.
The route of sewer across the Stephens Property would logically follow the north side of
the branch. However, the sewer was routed on the south side of the branch at an
increased depth and increased cost to avoid extensive wetlands, which exist on the north
side of the branch. The sewer was routed in Zone 2 on the south side of the branch to
minimize the depth of the sewers. If the sewer is moved out of Zone 2, evert more sewer
depth and cost could be incurred. The terrain on the south side of the branch is fairly
steep. Movement away from the branch quickly adds depth to the sewer.

RE: Nationwide Permit 12 and Neuse Buffer Compliance Request
Willow Creek Sanitary Sewer Line
Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms Jones and Mr. Dorney:
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization to use Nationwide Permit 12
to cover impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters (i.e. stream
channel) for the subject property and compliance with the Neuse River Basin
Buffer Rules. Wetland and Upland Data sheets for this site were submitted with
the earlier permit request (Action ID #'s referenced below). A Pre-construction
Notification Form is attached.
The proposed Willow Creek Sanitary Sewer Line is located south of Old
Honeycutt Road (SR 2765) and west of Highway 55. The sewer corridor ends
approximately 1.3 miles south of the intersection of Highway 55 and Highway
401 in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, NC (see attached USGS site vicinity map).
The ±78-acre property below Old Honeycutt Road contains approximately 28
acres of jurisdictional Waters of the US. Proposed impacts to waters for the
construction of the sewer line will total 0.26 acres including 60 I.f. of channel.
No other wetlands or channels are to be impacted. Construction of the sewer
line will comply with the general conditions stated within Nationwide Permit 12.
The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands present on the property prior
to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional Waters of the US to the
maximum extent practicable. The current sewer line corridor was chosen for
several reasons, which are contained in the attached letter from Diehl and
Wetland Delineation/Permitting/Mitigation Soil/Site Evaluations On-Site Septic Systems Environmental Assessments/Audits
Neuse Basin and Watershed Buffer Evaluations Groundwater Hydrology Endangered Species
Western Branch Offices: [phone] • [phone] • [phone]
Phillips, P.A. Due to the temporary nature of the impacts, S&EC, Inc. does not
believe that any wetland mitigation will be required. If for some reason however
mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the North Carolina
Wetland Restoration Program.
The sewer line is required to service the public park and the Willow Creek
residential subdivision south of Old Honeycutt Road.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined that the public park is also
considered part of this project. Also impacts related to the Willow Creek
Subdivision north of Honeycutt Road have been determined to be part of this
project. Impact totals for the entire tract are as follows:
Willow Creek (north of Old Honeycutt Road)
NWP 14: 0.18 acres (Action ID # 199708098)
NWP 26: 0.10 acres (Action ID # 199708099)
NWP 12: 0.13 acres (Action ID # 199708100)
Total: 0.41 acres (0.28 acres of permanent impacts)
Willow Creek (south of Old Honeycutt Road)
NWP 39: 0.34 acres (Action ID # 200120188)
NWP 12: 0.076 acres (Action ID # 200120187)
Total: 0.416 acres (0.34 acres of permanent impacts)
Honeycutt Park
NWP 39: 0.16 acres (Action ID # 200021195)
The entire tract's total wetland impacts are 0.986 acres. Of this total only 0.78
acres are permanent impacts. The additional proposed temporary impacts will
add another 0.26 acres of temporary impacts.
Three channels and their buffers will be impacted by nearly perpendicular
crossings. The sewer line corridor is only 20 feet wide (i.e. less than 40 feet)
and therefore should be exempt under the current Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Rules. Nonperpendicular impacts to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers do occur and
total 0.2764 acres. The nonperpendicular Zone 2 impacts are necessary due to
steep topography in these areas (see attached letter from Diehl and Phillips and
impact map).
Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC Division of Water Quality visited the proposed
corridor on January 31, 2001, however a confirmation letter has not yet been
received. Mr. Mitchell determined that the three features shown on the Wake
County Soil Survey (attached) draining from the south are not subject to the
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules.
Please call if you have questions or require further information. Please contact
S&EC, Inc. if you choose to visit the site so that someone may accompany you.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark

Re: Routing of Sanitary Sewer 4utfall to serve Willow Creek Subdivision and the
Town of Fuquay-Varina Park, Fuquay-Varina, NC
Dear Sean:
The route of the sanitary sewer outfall to serve Willow Creek Subdivision and the Town
of Fuquay-Varina Park was chosen to balance cost, length of sewer, and environmental
impacts. Willow Creek Subdivision and the Town's Honeycutt Road Park are currently
under construction.
The sewer route as designed would minimize the length of sanitary sewer required to
serve both of the above projects. It is possible to run the sewer that is required to serve
the park on the north side of the wetlands, which parallel the branch. The park sewer
could cross the wetlands near the eastern property line of the park. However, this route
would add approximately 200 feet to the length of sewer required. The additional sewer
would cost approximately $10,000.00 and would add length to the sewer that must be
maintained by the Town. Further, the north route would cross playing fields, which will
be completed in the near future. We have concerns about the sewer construction
interfering with the seeding of playing fields with bermuda grass given the short time
window available to grow-in bermuda for playing fields.
The route of sewer across the Stephens Property would logically follow the north side of
the branch. However, the sewer was routed on the south side of the branch at an
increased depth and increased cost to avoid extensive wetlands, which exist on the north
side of the branch. The sewer was routed in Zone 2 on the south side of the branch to
minimize the depth of the sewers. If the sewer is moved out of Zone 2, even more sewer
depth and cost could be incurred. The terrain on the south side of the branch is fairly
steep. Movement away from the branch quickly adds depth to the sewer.

RE: Nationwide Permit 12 and Neuse Buffer Compliance Request
Willow Creek Sanitary Sewer Line
Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Ms Jones and Mr. Dorney:
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization to use Nationwide Permit 12
to cover impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters (i.e. stream
channel) for the subject property and compliance with the Neuse River Basin
Buffer Rules. Wetland and Upland Data sheets for this site were submitted with
the earlier permit request (Action ID #'s referenced below). A Pre-construction
Notification Form is attached.
The proposed Willow Creek Sanitary Sewer Line is located south of Old
Honeycutt Road (SR 2765) and west of Highway 55. The sewer corridor ends
approximately 1.3 miles south of the intersection of Highway 55 and Highway
401 in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, NC (see attached USGS site vicinity map).
The +78-acre property below Old Honeycutt Road contains approximately 28
acres of jurisdictional Waters of the US. Proposed impacts to waters for the
construction of the sewer line will total 0.26 acres including 60 Lf. of channel.
No other wetlands or channels are to be impacted. Construction of the sewer
line will comply with the general conditions stated within Nationwide Permit 12.
The applicant requested a delineation of wetlands present on the property prior
to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional Waters of the US to the
maximum extent practicable. The current sewer line corridor was chosen for
several reasons, which are contained in the attached letter from Diehl and
Wetland Delineation/Permitting/Mitigation Soil/Site Evaluations On-Site Septic Systems Environmental Assessments/Audits
Neuse Basin and Watershed Buffer Evaluations Groundwater Hydrology Endangered Species
Western Branch Offices: [phone] - [phone] - [phone]
Phillips, P.A. Due to the temporary nature of the impacts, S&EC, Inc. does not
believe that any wetland mitigation will be required. If for some reason however
mitigation is required, our client proposes payment into the North Carolina
Wetland Restoration Program.
The sewer line is required to service the public park and the Willow Creek
residential subdivision south of Old Honeycutt Road.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined that the public park is also
considered part of this project. Also impacts related to the Willow Creek
Subdivision north of Honeycutt Road have been determined to be part of this
project. Impact totals for the entire tract are as follows:
Willow Creek (north of Old Honeycutt Road)
NWP 14: 0.18 acres (Action ID # 199708098)
NWP 26: 0.10 acres (Action ID # 199708099)
NWP 12: 0.13 acres (Action ID # 199708100)
Total: 0.41 acres (0.28 acres of permanent impacts)
Willow Creek (south of Old Honeycutt Road)
NWP 39: 0.34 acres (Action ID # 200120188)
NWP 12: 0.076 acres (Action ID # 200120187)
Total: 0.416 acres (0.34 acres of permanent impacts)
Honeycutt Park
NWP 39: 0.16 acres (Action ID # 200021195)
The entire tract's total wetland impacts are 0.986 acres. Of this total only 0.78
acres are permanent impacts. The additional proposed temporary impacts will
add another 0.26 acres of temporary impacts.
Three channels and their buffers will be impacted by nearly perpendicular
crossings. The sewer line corridor is only 20 feet wide (i.e. less than 40 feet)
and therefore should be exempt under the current Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Rules. Nonperpendicular impacts to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers do occur and
total 0.2764 acres. The nonperpendicular Zone 2 impacts are necessary due to
steep topography in these areas (see attached letter from Diehl and Phillips and
impact map).
Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC Division of Water Quality visited the proposed
corridor on January 31, 2001, however a confirmation letter has not yet been
received. Mr. Mitchell determined that the three features shown on the Wake
County Soil Survey (attached) draining from the south are not subject to the
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules.
Please call if you have questions or require further information. Please contact
S&EC, Inc. if you choose to visit the site so that someone may accompany you.

map. Map scales should be 1 inch equals 50 feet or 1 inch equals 100 feet or
their equivalent.
b. If available, representative photograph of wetlands to be impacted by project.
C. If delineation was performed by a consultant, include all data sheets relevant
to the placement of the delineation line.

Re: Routing of Sanitary Sewer Qutfall to serve Willow Creek Subdivision and the
Town of Fuquay-Varina Park, Fuquay-Varina, NC
Dear Sean:
The route of the sanitary sewer outfall to serve Willow Creek Subdivision and the Town
of Fuquay-Varina Park was chosen to balance cost, length of sewer, and environmental
impacts. Willow Creek Subdivision and the Town's Honeycutt Road Park are currently
under construction.
The sewer route as designed would minimize the length of sanitary sewer required to
serve both of the above projects. It is possible to run the sewer that is required to serve
the park on the north side of the wetlands, which parallel the branch. The park sewer
could cross the wetlands near the eastern property line of the park. However, this route
would add approximately 200 feet to the length of sewer required. The additional sewer
would cost approximately $10,000.00 and would add length to the sewer that must be
maintained by the Town. Further, the north route would cross playing fields, which will
be completed in the near future. We have concerns about the sewer construction
interfering with the seeding of playing fields with bermuda grass given the short time
window available to grow-in bermuda for playing fields.
The route of sewer across the Stephens Property would logically follow the north side of
the branch. However, the sewer was routed on the south side of the branch at an
increased depth and increased cost to avoid extensive wetlands, which exist on the north
side of the branch. The sewer was routed in Zone 2 on the south side of the branch to
minimize the depth of the sewers. If the sewer is moved out of Zone 2, even more sewer
depth and cost could be incurred. The terrain on the south side of the branch is fairly
steep. Movement away from the branch quickly adds depth to the sewer.
