Highway 96, in eastern Wake County, North Carolina, and is within the Neuse River Basin, Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201.

The site encompasses portions of 22 separate parcels which totals approximately 296 acres of land including approximately 140 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. In addition, the site also encompasses approximately 13,720 linear feet of stream associated with Perry Creek and unnamed tributaries to Perry Creek.

As proposed, this mitigation plan includes 1) preservation of approximately 13,720 linear feet of streams, 2) enhancement of approximately 0.5 acre of jurisdictional wetlands, 3) preservation of approximately 139.5 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, and 4) protection in perpetuity all mitigation activities, as well as a 100 -foot buffer adjacent to Perry Creek and other tributaries, and a 50 -foot buffer on all wetlands, and ponds. The proposed mitigation ratios are 5:1 for both stream and wetland preservation, and 2:1 for wetland restoration. Accordingly, a total of up to 2,744 stream credits and 28.2 wetland credits may be realized should the project be accepted. GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA: The proposed geographic service area for this bank is the Neuse River Basin, Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03020201. PROSPECTUS/MITIGATION PLAN: The full mitigation plan is available for review at: http://www.saw.usace.annv.mil/WETLANDS/Notices/Current notices.html This umbrella mitigation bank may be considered one of a number of practicable alternatives available to applicants to compensate for unavoidable stream impacts associated with permits issued under the authority of Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act for projects located within the prescribed geographic service area. Oversight of this stream mitigation bank will be by a group of federal and state agency representatives collectively referred to as the Interagency Review Team (IRT).

The actual approval of the use of this mitigation bank for a specific project is the decision of the Corps pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The Corps provides no guarantee that any particular individual or general permit will be granted authorization to use this stream compensatory mitigation bank to compensate for unavoidable stream impacts associated with a proposed permit, even though mitigation from this bank may be available.

Comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.

No species of fish, wildlife, or plant (or their critical habitat) listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (PL 93-205) will be affected. 3. No cultural or historic resources considered eligible or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places will be affected.
