APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River Buffer Protection
Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233)
Dear Mr. Midyette:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 149 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to
Upper Barton Creek in Wake County, for the purpose of constructing a roadway access for the Taramoor project as
described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on October 24, 2001. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this activity is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3287, which can be
downloaded from our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 39 when the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issues it. This letter shall also act as your approved
Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers as required under 15A NCAC 2B .0233(8). 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 in writing 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, 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, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Steve Mitchell in the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700 or John Hennessy in
Raleigh at 919-733-1786.

RE: Nationwide Permit 39, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
River Buffer Rules Compliance Request
Taramoor (Nipper Road site)
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina
Latitude/Longitude: 35°56'50" N 78041'05"W
S&EC Project #: 01-6234
Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Jones:
120
011567.
Op behalf of Creedmoor Partners, LLC (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 401-Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide Permit 39,
and that it complies with the Neuse River Riparian Buffer rules. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form.
The proposed project, which consists of a residential subdivision, is located just east of
Creedmoor Rd. (Hwy. 50), immediately south of Nipper Rd. (SR 1845) in Raleigh, Wake
County, NC. Please refer to the USGS site map. The property comprises approximately
60 acres, and is in the Neuse River Basin.
Approximately 148.7 linear ft. of significant/important stream channel will be impacted
for, aproposed roadway crossing (Impact 1), which will utilize Nationwide Permit 39.
Proposed is to the Neuse Dyer Riparian Buffers resulting from the road crossing
will total 8,478 04 $.2 (less than 1/3 acres) with zone 1 impacts of 5,940.99 ft .2 and zone
2 impacts of 2,537 ft.2.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation
to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements

for notification (0.10 acre). The only way to access the majority of the site is to cross the
stream channel paralleling Nipper Rd. (Impact 1). Thus, the roadway crossing is an
unavoidable impact. Only stream channel will be impacted by the crossing-no wetland
areas are adjacent to the stream where the roadway will cross. Aside from this one
impact, all other waters of the U.S. were avoided.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for wetland and stream channel
impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet of significant channel. Because the proposed
cumulative impacts resulting from the project total 148.7 linear ft. of stream channel,
S&EC believes that wetland or stream channel mitigation should not be required.
The channel proposed to be impacted was evaluated by Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-
DWQ in June 2001, and his findings are described in the attached letter (NBRRO 01-
1 52). NC-DWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for buffer impacts if they do
not exceed 1/3 acre per buffered channel tributary. Because the proposed buffer impacts
only total 0.195 acres (less than 1 /3 acre), buffer mitigation should not be required.

For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.gM.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/re our.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http•//www saw usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwyfinalFedReg_pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impact 1 is reauired in order to provide access to the otherwise landlocked upland areas on
the property. The roadway will cross the stream perpendicularly, and impact only stream
channel (no wetlands) All other waters of the U.S. onsite were avoided.
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
Page 7 of 12
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 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/strmgide.html.
1. 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 USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream
channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to offset
unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements for notification
(0.10 acre). The only way to access the majority of the site is to cross the stream channel
paralleling Nipper Rd Impact 1) Thus the roadway crossing is an unavoidable impact. Only
stream channel will be impacted by the crossings no wetland areas are adjacent to the stream
where the roadway will cross. Aside from this one impact, all other waters of the U.S. were
avoided.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for wetland and stream channel impacts
below 1 acre and 150 linear feet of significant channel. Because the proposed cumulative
impacts resulting from the project total 148.7 linear ft. of stream channel S&EC believes that
wetland or stream channel mitigation should not be required.
Additionally, NC-DWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for buffer impacts if they do
not exceed 1/3 acre per buffered channel tributary. Because the proposed buffer impacts
resulting from the total 8,478.04 or 0 195 acres buffer mitigation should not be required.
Page 8 of 12
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/win/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
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 ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
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 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify Neuse )?
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:

Subject: Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer RuT Tom` -'
NBRRO 01-152
Creedmoor Partners
S & E C Project # 01-6234
Wake County
Dear Mr. Cooper:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made by S & E C at the subject property
referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 01-152. The features represented on the Wake County
Soils and the USGS Bayleaf maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule.
There are two stream features are represented on the USGS and three on the County Soils map. All three
features are subject to protection under the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Management Strategy; Protection
and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These
features are present throughout the subject property and Feature C becomes subject at a point labeled NRB
01.
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant to wetland
and other impacts, please contact the Central Office at 733-1786. Thank you for your attention to this matter
and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us.
Sincerely,
Steve Mitchell
Environmental Scientist
