Dear Mr Patterson:
On September 14, 2000, the Division of Water Quality wrote to you concerning your plans to fill .29 acres of
wetlands and/or 230 linear feet of streams in order to construct the proposed Walgreens Store at Olive Chapel Village in
Apex in Wake County. This letter informed you that the project was incomplete and was being placed on hold until the
additional information outlined in the letter was supplied. To date, we have not received this additional information.
Unless we.hear from you in writing within 3 weeks of the receipt of this letter, we will consider that you no longer want to
pursue this project and we will retire the file and consider the application as withdrawn. Please be aware that
reapplication for this project will require a Certification fee and new applications.
Please call Mr. Mike Horan of my staff at 919-733-3574 if you would like to discuss this matter.

Dear Mr. Patterson:
On September 14, 2000, the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application
for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Walgreens Store at Olive Chapel Village in
Apex, Wake County. Based upon our review, we have determined that significant uses would be
removed or degraded by this project. Insufficient evidence is provided in your application to
conclude that your project must be built as planned. Therefore, unless modifications of the
proposal are made, we will move toward denial of the approval.
Please provide information supporting your position that you have no practical alternative to
impacting wetlands to the extent proposed. For example, can you shift the location of the proposed
new development to the northeast, away from the stream and wetlands? Any documentation,
including maps, drawings and calculations beyond the narrative included in your application, that
will help to describe design alternatives would be helpful in our review. Also, you should note that
since total wetland fills for this project exceed one acre, compensatory wetland mitigation is
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h), and as you noted in your application. Wetland
mitigation would not be required if the impacts could be reduced so that the cumulative impact is
less than one acre.
Until the information requested in this letter is provided, I will request (by copy of this letter)
that the Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for
our processing due to incomplete information (15A NCAC 2H.0507(h)). Thank you for your
attention. If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
orl? /"

Dear Mr. Patterson:
`SEP 2 0 2nm

Reference is made to the application of August 28, 2000, submitted on your behalf by
Mr. Sean Clark of Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. for Department of the Army permit
authorization for the proposed discharge of 0.29 acre of fill material associated with the
construction of a Walgreens Store and parking facilities at Olive Chapel Village shopping center,
located northwest of the intersection of NC 55 and SR 1160, in Apex, Wake County, North
Carolina.
Nationwide Permit General Condition 19 mandates that projects must be designed to
avoid and minimize adverse effects to waters of the United States to the maximum extent
practicable at the project site (i.e., onsite). Following a review of your permit application, it was
determined that there may be alternate site development plans which may result in reduced
impacts to jurisdictional wetlands. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding
the modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts
(i.e., to reduce the discharge of fill material into waters of the United States as much as
practicable). Specifically, this information should address alternative building layouts and the
use of undeveloped on-site parcels (identified as parcels 1 and 2 on the plans submitted with the
permit application).
General Condition 19 also states that mitigation will be required when necessary to
ensure that the adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal, and it requires
compensatory mitigation at a minimum 1:1 ratio for all wetland impacts requiring a
preconstruction notification application (any impact in excess of 0.1 acre for nationwide permit
39). In your application, you proposed to mitigate for impacts by planting trees within a water
quality pond planned for the development. Please provide additional information so that the
functional value of the proposed mitigation may be more accurately assessed. Specifically, we
require detailed plans of the pond, including cross sections, a list of the species to be planted, and

acreage of the mitigation area. Alternative measures to mitigate for impacts to aquatic resources
(which may include wetland preservation on and off site) may also be proposed.
Your response to the above concerns is essential to our expeditious processing of your
permit application. Also, a copy of this information should be sent to the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality to enable them to adequately evaluate your application for a Water
Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
Please be reminded that issuance of DA authorization must precede any placement of
excavated or fill material within any waters of the U.S. on your property. Should you have any
further questions regarding submittal of a DA permit application or wish to schedule a pre-
application consultation with interested Federal and State agencies, please do not hesitate to
contact Mr. Todd Tugwell, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, at telephone [phone],

Dear Sirs:
The purpose of this letter is to request the use of Nationwide Permit 39 and a 401 Water Quality
Certification for the construction of the proposed Walgreen Store (Olive Chapel Village). The site is
located on Olive Chapel Road (NCRS 1160), approximately 0.19 miles west of its intersection with
Highway 55 (see attached USGS site vicinity map). Proposed impacts utilizing Nationwide Permit 39 will
total 0.29 acres and approximately 230 linear feet of channel. A portion of the site was previously
permitted (AID # 200020658) and utilized Nationwide Permit 26. Total impacts for the entire property to
waters (including wetlands) will total 1.27acres (0.98 acres previously permitted under NWP 26 and 0.29
acres of impacts requested for NWP 39) and 563 linear feet of channel (333 linear feet previously
permitted under NWP 26 and 230 linear feet requesting the use of NWP 39). Although the
significance/importance of the channel has not been determined, S&EC, Inc. does not believe it tqa ??
either. The purpose of the project is to provide a shopping facility for the nearby residential
developments. Construction of the project will comply with the general conditions stated within
Nationwide Permit 39.
A 0.92 acre water quality pond was required as a condition of the previously permitted NWP126. 'ale- - t1__" 6
client would like to propose using this pond USACE mitigation if any is required for the site. If then Il "`
is accepted for mitigation, native plant species will be planted in and around the pond and shelves
within the pond. Our client proposes a payment of $30,480 into the North Carolina Wetland Restoration
Fund to mitigate for NC Division of Water Quality required mitigation. The 250 linear feet of channel
impacts are not believed to be considered "important" or "significant", however, neither the NC Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) nor the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) have evaluated the feature.
Mr. Andrew Padiak of BBM Associates, Inc, is designing the stormwater pond. Any questions regarding
the specifications of the stormwater pond should be directed to Mr. Padiak at [phone].
Included are: (1) a completed Pre-Construction Notification Application, (2) Agent Authorization Form,
(3) USGS site vicinity map, (4) a copy of the 401 certification letter for previous permit, (5) letter of
justification and Minimization, (6) wetland and upland data forms, (7) a copy of the Preliminary
Acceptance Determination Request Form sent to the NC Wetland Restoration Program, (8) construction
plans (11" x 1T'), and a $475 check for the 401 processing fee.
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.

SUBJECT: WALGRRF,NS SITE WETLAND PERMIT
OLIVE CHAPEL VILLAGE
HWY 55 AND OLIVE CHAPEL ROAD
APEX, NORTH CAROLINA
Dear Mr. Clark:
P.02
As per your request, please fund the attached impact map on an I 1"x17" sheet showing the proposed
Walgreen site plan at the southwest corner of the Apex Peakway and llighway 55 overlain on the wetland
survey.
The total amount of wetlands on this parcel was determined to be 1.27 acres, as delineated on the wetlands
map prepared by BBM Associates, Inc. dated February 11, 2000. Under the Olive Chapel Village project, we
were granted a nationwide permit 26 to fill 0.98 acres of wetlands. A 0.92 acre water quality pond is
approved by the NCDENR Water quality Division and is to be constructed as part of that project.
The Walgreens site was designed with every effort. to minimize wetland impacts. Unfortunately, the wetlands
divide the site, separating; the portion of the site along the Apex Peakway from the remainder o1'thc site. This
portion (approximately 2.5 acres) would be undevelopable because the Town of Apex and NCDOT will not
allow access off the Apex Pcakway. There are no other suitable sites that are zoned retail. 'T'herefore, the site
would require fill to be placed within the retraining 0.29 acres of wetlands to make it viable.
We hope that the construction of the 0.92 acre water quality pond will partially mitigate the impact to the
remaining 0.29 acres of wetlands spanning across the middle of the proposed Walg;reens site. There was no
practical way to avoid impacts.
We would propose to add additional plantings and make other design adjustments (mitigation's) to the other
0.92 acre water quality pond to offset the additional 0.29 acre impact.
We trust these items arc sufficient for your review. Please call me should you have any questions.
Sincerely.
