S&EC delineated the wetlands onsite in December 1995. Data forms for the delineation were previously submitted to the USACE. The proposed project, which consists of a residential subdivision, is located to the northeast and southwest of the intersection of Yates Store Rd. (SR 1624) and Green Level Rd. to Durham (SR 1625), west of Cary, in Wake County, NC. Please refer to the .r., attached USGS site map. The site is in the Cape Fear River Basin. Approximately 820 linear ft./0.061 acres of important stream channel (based on a site determination by Todd Tugwell of the USACE) will be impacted under Nationwide Permit 14 (see attached impact maps) for roadway crossings.

Prior project history includes the following issued permits: NWP 14 (AID # 199700581, 0.21 acres of jurisdictional waters/wetland impact), NWP 12 (AID # 199820016, 0.071 acres), and NWP 26 (AID # 199200821, 4.1 acres). The associated DWQ project numbers are 960320 and 970831. Additionally, and individual permit (IP) was required to finish construction of the lake onsite in conjunction with the NWP 26. Twelve roadway crossings over waters of the U.S. were permitted in the NWP 14 originally issued for this project, totaling 0.209 acres of impacts to waters of the U.S. Of these crossings, seven were completed (Areas 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, and 12=reference original NWP 14 application: AID # 199700581), one was omitted from the site plan (Area 7), and four were not constructed before the permit expired (Areas 1, 2, 8, and 10). The purpose of this application is to permit the four road crossings that weren't constructed (R1 [Area 81, R2 [Area 1], R3 [Area 21, and R4 [Area 10]), and an additional road crossing, R5. In order to minimize impacts to waters of the U.S., the alignments of the proposed roadway crossings were slightly realigned from their original positions in prior site plans to minimize impacts to jurisdictional areas as much as possible. The new project totals for impacts to waters of the U.S. under NWP 14, including past permitted and presently proposed impacts, total 0.248 acres (total width equals 157.1 ft.). 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 (Q 10 acre). > ? ]tP was made to init*ate, 4& i cts includin1It gtt th res appLiod fig, and-issued for the project (AID # 19970=,1). n totaled e,,=WP&MvndWWW >2YE.?..1*=ti dt7 2 S?_,.14 aor- 1:44 Therefore, $1 g,?0 was pai to - (see attached NC-DWQ 441 with mitigation requirements).

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.

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. An NWP 14 (AID# 199700581 was previously issued for this project to permit 12 road crossings. Of these crossings, seven were completed, one was omitted from the site plan, and four were not constructed before the permit expired. The purpose of this application is to permit the four road crossings that weren't constructed (R1, R2, R3, and R4), and an additional road crossing, R5. In order to minimize impacts to waters of the U.S., the alignments of the proposed roadway crossings were slightly realigned from their original positions in prior site plans to minimize impacts to jurisdictional areas as much as possible. The new project totals for impacts to waters of the U.S. under NWP 14, including past permitted and presently proposed impacts, total 0.248 acres (total width: 157.1 ft.). 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 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 Page 8 of 13 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. All previous permitted impacts to the site including impacts R1 R2 R3 and R4, were mitigated for by payment to NC-WRP. The total amount of mitigation for the project was 26.759 ft .2 or 0.614 acres. The mitigation for impacts R1, R2, R3, and R4 is summarized as follows (channel linear footage was not accounted for since mitigation was done only for NC-DWQ): Impact: Ratio: Mitigation (ft.2): R1 1:1 207 R2 4:1 1,456 R3 4:1 2,280 R4 4:1 2,468 Total: 6,411 Since the mitigation above for impacts R1-R4 was previously adequate, S&EC believes that only impact R5 (268 linear ft./1 147 ft.2 of stream channel) should require mitigation. S&EC suggests payment to NC-WRP for possible required mitigation for this impact. 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/-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): 268 ft. 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 Page 9 of 13 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 (919) 733-5083 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 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify N/A )? Yes ? No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact (square feet) Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 N/A 3 N/A 2 N/A 1.5 N/A Total N/A N/A # Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular tirom near bank of channel; 'Lone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Page 10 of 13 Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0260. XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. A stormwater plan was developed and implemented for the site when the previous Nationwide permits were applied for (USACE AID Ws 199700581, 199820016, and 199200821; DWO project numbers 960320 and 970831). DWO reviewed and approved the stormwater plan at that time. XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. Connection to sanitary sewer XIII. Violations (DWQ Only) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No ? XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Partnership 502 E. Lochmere Drive Cary, NC 27511 Dear Sirs: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in an additional 0.21 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing road crossings at Panther Creek development, as you described in your application dated April 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. We understand that you have agreed to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate for these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0500, this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h)(7), 0.60 acres of restoration will be required. Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to DEHNR - Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at 919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration Program. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the fill of 0.21 additional acres of riparian wetlands, in 030605 river and subbasin and 0.614 acres of restoration are required. 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. In addition our modeling staff have reviewed the modeling done by Mr. Keith Reidling of Ogden Environmental and Engineering Services. We agree that this model demonstrates that our water quality standards would be met in the lake as required in our 24 March 1997 approval. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General 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 Division of'Water Quality • Environmental Sciences Branch Environmental Sciences Branch, 4401 Reedy Creek Rd., Raleigh, NC 27607 Telephone 919-733-1786 FAX # 733-9959 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer • 50% recycled/10% post consumer paper Page 2 DWQ Project # 960320 May 23,1997 Administrative Hearings, P.O.

Shoreline stabilization project and rebuilding of dock for single family residential using masonry and rock. As far as the WSWP Rules as concerned it is a water dependent activity and therefore allowed. Disturbed vegetation will need to be replaced. Catawba Rules also apply and here it's an allowable use but, no avoidance and minimization was given or practical alternative. Concerned that the "masonry and rock" will not allow for percolation. 011609 (James Mitchem, Gaston Co.) - Property in WS-IV. Shoreline stabilization project for single family residential using riprap. As far as the WSWP Rules as concerned it is a water dependent activity and therefore allowed.

As IS far as the WSWP Rules as concerned it is a water dependent activity and therefore allowed. Disturbed vegetation will need to be replaced. But the Catawba Rules also apply, and no practical alternatives language described in the packet I was given. An allowed use. There was a very minimalistic summary of how the caazer vv=2d try to keep the damage to a min.nn?m. I think he should go further, and I suggest making him replant as many trees as he removes. 011670 (Panther Creek - Raleigh LP, Wad Co.) - What a monster of a project!!! This project is in WS-337-PA rear Jordan Lake. Neuse Rules ` „_ don't =pply. The Wake County-will need to review project for BUA, ?/C](vl stox=&ater, buffer requirements. My guess is that it's a high density project, which will require stormigater 31cps and 100' buffers. They're looking to have another 5 stream/buffer crossings for access around the site. 7 crossings were allowed awes a previous permit. WSWP Rules do not allow these crossings since it's a private project. Of course we can't deny access to a site, but they already bave 7 and I don't think they need all 5 of the ones tbey're ask mg for now. Strict adherence to the 3SNP Rules would say deny the pexm't- But if we have-to allow it, the crossings must minimize BUX, diver xmoff away from surface waters, use mss, and show no practical alt xnative. 2bere was no summary included on how there was no practical alternative summary given for the 5 access crossings they're requesting mac. Plus they don't want to pay for anitigation for 4 of the 5 points 9imx _- they already paid for them in the previous permitting process. `It's not our fault their permit ran out before they built them. It's a'ssog:erait and I think they should have to pay again - but WSWP Rules don't have anything to say about that. 011691 (Town of Hillsborough, Orange Ce?)) WSi'lP and Neuse Rules apply. As fa: as WSWP Rules are concerned, it's a public project and therefore )t lJ allowed to cross the buffer. Site 1 is not in WS anyway. Site 2 is in WS-:1-Ch. At site 2, if the buffer is cisturbed they need to replant. 10(" 12/5/019:00 P MEMORANDUM TO: John Dorney Regional Contact: Steve Mitchell Non-Discharge Branch WO Supervisor: Ken Schuster Date: SUBJECT: WETLAND STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Facility Name Cary Glen County Wake Project Number 01 1670 County2 Recvd From APP Region Raleigh Received Date 11/14/01 Recvd By Region Project Type residential development Certificates Stream Stream Impacts (ft.)

Shoreline stabilization project and rebuilding of dock for single family residential using masonry and rock. As far as the WSWP Rules as concerned it is a water dependent activity and therefore allowed. Disturbed vegetation will need to be replaced. C=tawba Rules also apply and here it's an allowable use but, no avoidance F-=d minimization was given or practical alternative. Concerned that the 'mason--y and rock, will not allow for percolation. 011609 (James Mitchem, Gaston Co.) - Property in WS-IV.

There was a very minimal i stic s^mk-ay of how the owner -.ou:d try to keep the damage to a minimum. I think he should go further, and I suggest making him replant as marzy trees as he removes. "PTOWi+anthe; Creek - Raleigh LP, Wake Co-) - Salt a monster of a project!!! This project is in WS-IV-PA rear Jor Lake. Meuse Rules don't apply. lie Wake County.-ill need to review project for BUA, stormwa_er, buffer requirements. My guess is that it's a high density project, which will require stormwater ?s and 1D3' buffers. They're looking to have another 5 stream/buffer crossings for access around the site. 7 crossings were allowed under a previous _p=--mit. I&Fofp Rules do not allow these crossings since it's a private psvect. Of course we can't deny access to a site, but they already have 7 and Z don't think they need all 5 of the ones they're asking for now_ Strict adherence to the WS'? Rules would say deny the permit. But if -Aw-- have to allow it, f frotm srlrface waters, the crossings -1st minimize BUA, divert raanoff- use BMPs, and show no practical alternative. bra was no summary included on how there was no practical alternative summary given for the 5 access crossi--gs they're requesting now- Plus t_2?y don't want to pay for mitigation for 4 of the 5 points since they already paid for them in the previous permitting process. It's not our f-11t their permit ran out before they built them. It's a new pexmit amd I think they should have to pay again - but WSWP Rules don't wave a--_f- g to say about that. 011691 (Town of Hillsborough, Orange Co.) - WSWP tad Neu---- Rules apply. `m As far as WSWP Rules are concerned, it's a public ,;,roject and therefore 1`lJ allowed to cross the buffer. Site 1 is not in WS anyway. Site 2 is in WS-II-CA. At site 2, if the buffer is disturbed they need to replant. 1 of 2 12/5/019: 00 1 Triage Check List Date: To: DqlfO ?FRO ?WaRO ?WiRO ?WSRO ?ARO ?MRO i d/ Steve Mitchell Ken Averitte Deborah Sawyer Joanne Steenhuis Jennifer Frye Mike Parker Pete Colwell Project Name Lr4F-4_ 6-1-rm eh AvWre 6e,,,,e t 17 DWQ Project Number 01670 County C??+Kt From: - -)LA .?nYSr•?
