Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Dear Mr. Cyrus:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 0.30 acres of
wetlands, 145 feet of perennial stream and 0.30 acres of riparian buffers to construct the road crossing at the subject
property. After reviewing your application, we have determined that the stream impacts are covered by the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number 3375. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit No. 14 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your approved
Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected Neuse River Buffers as required under 15A NCAC 213 .0233(8). In
addition, you should get or otherwise comply with any other federal, state and local requirements before you go ahead
with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control Permit, Non-Discharge and Water Supply II
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 dated July 2, 2002
with revisions provided within the July 23, 2002 letter from S&EC, Inc., 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 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. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 feet stream, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). If the total impacts to the buffer associated with
the road crossing exceed 0.33 acres, then buffer mitigation will be required as described in 15A NCAC 213 .0233.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the DWQ General Water Quality Certification No.
3375 and any additional conditions listed below.

RE: Revision to Request for 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 730400m E, 3985860m N)
Dear Mr. Zarzecki and Mr. Domey:
As per our phone conversation, the attached impact map shows a reduction in the
proposed Zone 2 buffer impacts. Zone 2 impacts originally proposed totaled 0.13 acres.
The revised proposed impacts total 0.10 acres. The reduced impacts result from less
clearing required below the proposed sediment basins.
The proposed road crossing will now impact 145 linear feet of perennial important stream
channel, 0.30 acre of wetland, and 0.30 acre of riparian buffer (0.20 acre in Zone 1 and
0.10 acre in Zone 2).
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at SClarkASandEC.com if you have any
questions.

RE: Request for Nationwide Permit 14, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 7304"- E, 3985161- N)
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of Dennis Cyrus of Denmark Construction (property owner), we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide
Permit 14 for impacts to a jurisdictional stream channel and adjacent wetlands resulting
from the construction of a road crossing fro the above referenced project. We also
request 401-certification and written concurrence from the NC-Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that the proposed subdivision and its road crossing comply with the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as
is an agent authorization form.
The proposed project is located approximately 1600 feet due east of the intersection of
Highway 96 and Oak Grove Road (SR 1128), just north of the Wake County/Franklin
County line. The Little River is immediately east of the property. Please refer to the
USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project.
The proposed residential subdivision requires a road crossing of a perennial stream that
completely bisects the property. The existing Oak Grove Road will be extended east and
will cross the perennial stream channel and wetlands adjacent to the stream channel at an
approximately perpendicular angle. The proposed road crossing will impact 145
linear feet of perennial, important stream channel and 0.300 acre of adjacent
wetland. The proposed road crossing is required to provide access to the northern
portion of the property.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation within and around the proposed road crossing,
however this delineation has not yet been approved by the USACE. Upland and Wetland

Data Forms are attached. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ evaluated features on the
site potentially subject to the buffers on F.eb5uary 1,8, 2002. A copy of his April 8, 2002
letter (NBRRO 02-074) is attached and flie.impa4-map reflects his determinations.
The USACE's current policy requires app cants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offsehihavo dable'losses of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge to a special aquatic
site such as wetlands is proposed. A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of
the property from Oak Grove Church Road, making it necessary to impact jurisdictional
areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. Impacts to other jurisdictional
channels and wetlands have been avoided. Proposed impacts to buffers will total 0.330
acre. Because the applicant has minimized wetland and stream impacts to the maximum
extent practicable, compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE for
this project.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires stream mitigation for impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet per project, buffer mitigation for impacts that exceed 1/3 acre per tributary, and
wetland mitigation for impacts that exceed 1 acre per project. Because the only impact
on the property is below all of these thresholds no mitigation should be required.
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at SClark ,SandEC.com if you have any
questions.

Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A 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.
A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of the property from Highway96,
making it necessary to impact the areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. To
minimize the impacts the proposed road is located so as to have only one stream and wetland
crossing The roadway has been designed to cross wetlands and stream channels at an
approximately perpendicular angle to minimize impact. Culverts across stream channels are
designed in accordance with USACE and NCDWQ standards to allow passage for fish and
aquatic organisms
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
Page 5 of 8
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
hqp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetl,inds/stnngide.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.
N/A No mitigation should be required due to the proposed impacts being below DWG's
mitigation thresholds.
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://li2o.enr.state.ne.us/=/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
Page 6 of 8
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)?

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 )?
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 Multiplier Required
(square feet) Mitigation
1 s-7 12 3 N,'_t

2 5,6 1.5 NI.1
Total 1 1,3 7
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 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
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
N/A No buffer mitigation should be required because the proposed impacts are less than
1/3 acre.

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.
Proposed impervious surfaces will be less than 30 %.
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.
The site will use individual septic systems (non-discharge).
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).

Subject: Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules
River's Edge/NC Hwy 96 & Oak Grove Rd.
NBRRO 02-074
Franklin County
Dear Mr. Moss:
The information that was received by the Raleigh Regional Office has been reviewed. The plat map and other
information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific.project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 02-074. This
letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made at the subject property.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and USGS Rolesville Quad maps were evaluated on February 18,
2002 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two small unnamed
tributaries and a pond present on the property and shown on the County soil map that are subject to protection under
the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative CodeT15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These unnamed tributaries and the Little River
and the required buffer are shown on the attached map.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Wetlands 401/404 issues,
please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. 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

Raleigh, NC 27604-2260
RE: Request for Nationwide Permit 14, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 7304"m E, "85860m N)
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of Dennis Cyrus of Denmark Construction (property owner), we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide
Permit 14 for impacts to a jurisdictional stream channel and adjacent wetlands resulting
from the construction of a road crossing fro the above referenced project. We also
request 401-certification and written concurrence from the NC-Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that the proposed subdivision and its road crossing comply with the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as
is an agent authorization form.
The proposed project is located approximately 1600 feet due east of the intersection of
Highway 96 and Oak Grove Road (SR 1128), just north of the Wake County/Franklin
County line. The Little River is immediately east of the property. Please refer to the
USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project.
The proposed residential subdivision requires a road crossing of a perennial stream that
completely bisects the property. The existing Oak Grove Road will be extended east and
will cross the perennial stream channel and wetlands adjacent to the stream channel at an
approximately perpendicular angle. The proposed road crossing will impact 145
linear feet of perennial, important stream channel and 0.300 acre of adjacent
wetland. The proposed road crossing is required to provide access to the northern
portion of the property.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation within and around the proposed road crossing,
however this delineation has not yet been approved by the USACE. Upland and Wetland

Data Forms are attached. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ evaluated features on the
site potentially subject to the buffers on February 18, 2002. A copy of his April 8, 2002
letter (NBRRO 02-074) is attached and the impact map reflects his determinations.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses. of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the requirements for notification (0:10 acre) or if a discharge to a special aquatic
site such as wetlands is proposed. A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of
the property from Oak Grove Church Road, making it necessary to impact jurisdictional
areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. Impacts to other jurisdictional
channels and wetlands have been avoided. Proposed impacts to buffers will total 0.330
acre. Because the applicant has minimized wetland and stream impacts to the maximum
extent practicable, compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE for
this project.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires stream mitigation for impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet per project, buffer mitigation for impacts that exceed 1/3 acre per tributary, and
wetland mitigation for impacts that exceed 1 acre per project. Because the only impact
on the property is below all of these thresholds no mitigation should be required.
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at SClarkgSandEC.com if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A 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.
A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of the property from Highway 96,
making it necessaa to impact the areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. To
minimize the impacts the proposed road is located so as to have only one stream and wetland
crossing The roadway has been designed to cross wetlands and stream channels at an
approximately perpendicular angle to minimize impact. Culverts across stream channels are
designed in accordance with USACE and NCDWQ standards to allow passage for fish and
aquatic organisms
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
Page 5 of 8
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/strmizide.htm].
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.
N/A No mitigation should be required due to the proposed impacts being below DWG's
mitigation thresholds.
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://12o.enr.state.ne.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): 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

Dear Mr. Moss:
The information that was received by the Raleigh Regional Office has been reviewed. The plat map and other
information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 02-074. This
letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made at the subject property.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and USGS Rolesville Quad maps were evaluated on February 18,
2002 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two small unnamed
tributaries and a pond present on the property and shown on the County soil map that are subject to protection under
the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These unnamed tributaries and the Little River
and the required buffer are shown on the attached map.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Wetlands 401/404 issues,
please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. 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

RE: Request for Nationwide Permit 14, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 730400m E, 3985860m N)
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of Dennis Cyrus of Denmark Construction (property owner), we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide
Permit 14 for impacts to a jurisdictional stream channel and adjacent wetlands resulting
from the construction of a road crossing fro the above referenced project. We also
request 401-certification and written concurrence from the NC-Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that the proposed subdivision and its road crossing comply with the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as
is an agent authorization form.
The proposed project is located approximately 1600 feet due east of the intersection of
Highway 96 and Oak Grove Road (SR 1128), just north of the Wake County/Franklin
County line. The Little River is immediately east of the property. Please refer to the
USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project.
The proposed residential subdivision requires a road crossing of a perennial stream that
completely bisects the property. The existing Oak Grove Road will be extended east and
will cross the perennial stream channel and wetlands adjacent to the stream channel at an
approximately perpendicular angle. The proposed road crossing will impact 145
linear feet of perennial, important stream channel and 0.300 acre of adjacent
wetland. The proposed road crossing is required to provide access to the northern
portion of the property.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation within and around the proposed road crossing,
however this delineation has not yet been approved by the USACE. Upland and Wetland

Data Forms are attached. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ evaluated features on the
site potentially subject to the buffers on February 18, 2002. A copy of his April 8, 2002
letter (NBRRO 02-074) is attached and the impact map reflects his determinations.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable Iosse,s of Waters of the US when impacts
exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge to a special aquatic
site such as wetlands is proposed. A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of
the property from Oak Grove Church Road, making it necessary to impact jurisdictional
areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. Impacts to other jurisdictional
channels and wetlands have been avoided. Proposed impacts to buffers will total 0.330
acre. Because the applicant has minimized wetland and stream impacts to the maximum
extent practicable, compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE for
this project.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires stream mitigation for impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet per project, buffer mitigation for impacts that exceed 1/3 acre per tributary, and
wetland mitigation for impacts that exceed 1 acre per project. Because the only impact
on the property is below all of these thresholds no mitigation should be required.
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at [e-mail] if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark
Environmental Scientist

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A 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.
A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of the property from Highwu 96,
making it necessary to impact the areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. To
minimize the impacts, the proposed road is located so as to have only one stream and wetland
crossing. The roadway has been designed to cross wetlands and stream channels at an
approximately perpendicular angle to minimize impact. Culverts across stream channels are
designed in accordance with USACE and NCDWQ standards to allow passage for fish and
aquatic organisms.
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
Page 5 of 8
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/ncwetl,inds/stnngide.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.
N/A No mitigation should be required due to the proposed impacts being below DWQ's
mitigation thresholds.
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 hqp://h2o.eiir.state.nc.us/wM/index.htni 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
Page 6 of 8
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 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify. )?
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 I Multiplier Required
(square feet) Mitigation_
1 7 l _' 3 'N ;A
2 1.5 N'A
Total 1 }, 3 N 4?
Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 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
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
N/A No buffer mitigation should be required_ because the proposed impacts are less than
1/3 acre.
Page 7 of 8
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.
Proposed impervious surfaces will be less than 30 %.
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.
The site will use individual septic systems (non-discharge).
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).

Franklin County
Dear Mr. Moss:
The information that was received by the Raleigh Regional Office has been reviewed. The plat map and other
information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 02-074. This
letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made at the subject property.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and USGS Rolesville Quad maps were evaluated on February 18,
2002 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two small unnamed
tributaries and a pond present on the property and shown on the County soil map that are subject to protection under
the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These unnamed tributaries and the Little River
and the required buffer are shown on the attached map.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Wetlands 401/404 issues,
please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. 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

RE: Request for Nationwide Permit 14, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, X30 ..m E, 3985s6om N)
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of Dennis Cyrus of Denmark Construction (property owner), we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide
Permit 14 for impacts to a jurisdictional stream channel and adjacent wetlands resulting
from the construction of a road crossing fro the above referenced project. We also
request 401-certification and written concurrence from the NC-Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that the proposed subdivision and its road crossing comply with the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as
is an agent authorization form.
The proposed project is located approximately 1600 feet due east of the intersection of
Highway 96 and Oak Grove Road (SR 1128), just north of the Wake County/Franklin
County line. The Little River is immediately east of the property. Please refer to the
USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project.
The proposed residential subdivision requires a road crossing of a perennial stream that
completely bisects the property. The existing Oak Grove Road will be extended east and
will cross the perennial stream channel and wetlands adjacent to the stream channel at an
approximately perpendicular angle. The proposed road crossing will impact 145
linear feet of perennial, important stream channel and 0.300 acre of adjacent
wetland. The proposed road crossing is required to provide access to the northern
portion of the property.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation within and around the proposed road crossing,
however this delineation has not yet been approved by the USACE. Upland and Wetland

Data Forms are attached. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ evaluated features on the
site potentially subject to the buffers on February 18, 2002. A copy of his April 8, 2002
letter (NBRRO 02-074) is attached and the impact map reflects his determinations.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge to a special aquatic
site such as wetlands is proposed. A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of
the property from Oak Grove Church Road, making it necessary to impact jurisdictional
areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. Impacts to other jurisdictional
channels and wetlands have been avoided. Proposed impacts to buffers will total 0.330
acre. Because the applicant has minimized wetland and stream impacts to the maximum
extent practicable, compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE for
this project.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires stream mitigation for impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet per project, buffer mitigation for impacts that exceed 1/3 acre per tributary, and
wetland mitigation for impacts that exceed 1 acre per project. Because the only impact
on the property is below all of these thresholds no mitigation should be required.
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at [e-mail] if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A 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.
A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of the property from Highway 96,
making it necessary to impact the areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. To
minimize the impacts the proposed road is located so as to have only one stream and wetland
crossing The roadway has been designed to cross wetlands and stream channels at an
approximately perpendicular angle to minimize impact Culverts across stream channels are
designed in accordance with USACE and NCDWQ standards to allow passage for fish and
aquatic organisms
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
Page 5 of 8
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/stnn.ide.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.
N/A No mitigation should be required due to the proposed impacts being below DWQ's
mitigation thresholds.
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

Subject: Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules
River's Edge/NC Hwy 96 & Oak Grove Rd.
NBRRO 02-074
Franklin County
Dear Mr. Moss:
The information that was received by the Raleigh Regional Office has been reviewed. The plat map and other
information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 02-074. This
letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made at the subject property.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and USGS Rolesville Quad maps were evaluated on February 18,
2002 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two small unnamed
tributaries and a pond present on the property and shown on the County soil map that are subject to protection under
the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These unnamed tributaries and the Little River
and the required buffer are shown on the attached map.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Wetlands 401/404 issues,
please contact Mr. John Domey at 919-733-1786. 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

RE: Request for Nationwide Permit 14, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 730400m E, 3985860m N)
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of Dennis Cyrus of Denmark Construction (property owner), we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide
Permit 14 for impacts to a jurisdictional stream channel and adjacent wetlands resulting
from the construction of a road crossing fro the above referenced project. We also
request 401-certification and written concurrence from the NC-Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that the proposed subdivision and its road crossing comply with the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as
is an agent authorization form.
The proposed project is located approximately 1600 feet due east of the intersection of
Highway 96 and Oak Grove Road (SR 1128), just north of the Wake County/Franklin
County line. The Little River is immediately east of the property. Please refer to the
USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project.
The proposed residential subdivision requires a road crossing of a perennial stream that
completely bisects the property. The existing Oak Grove Road will be extended east and
will cross the perennial stream channel and wetlands adjacent to the stream channel at an
approximately perpendicular angle. The proposed road crossing will impact 145
linear feet of perennial, important stream channel and 0.300 acre of adjacent
wetland. The proposed road crossing is required to provide access to the northern
portion of the property.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation within and around the proposed road crossing,
however this delineation has not yet been approved by the USACE. Upland and Wetland

Data Forms are attached. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ evaluated features on the
site potentially subject to the buffers on February 18, 2002. A copy of his April 8, 2002
letter (NBRRO 02-074) is attached and the impact map reflects his determinations.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge to a special aquatic
site such as wetlands is proposed. A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of
the property from Oak Grove Church Road, making it necessary to impact jurisdictional
areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. Impacts to other jurisdictional
channels and wetlands have been avoided. Proposed impacts to buffers will total 0.330
acre. Because the applicant has minimized wetland and stream impacts to the maximum
extent practicable, compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE for
this project.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires stream mitigation for impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet per project, buffer mitigation for impacts that exceed 1/3 acre per tributary, and
wetland mitigation for impacts that exceed 1 acre per project. Because the only impact
on the property is below all of these thresholds no mitigation should be required.
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at SClarkgSandEC.com if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A 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.
A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of the property from Highway 96,
making it necessary to impact the areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. To
minimize the impacts the proposed road is located so as to have only one stream and wetland
crossing The roadway has been designed to cross wetlands and stream channels at an
approximately pMendicular angle to minimize impact. Culverts across stream channels are
designed in accordance with USACE and NCDWQ standards to allow passage for fish and
aquatic organisms
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
Page 5 of 8
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
hLtp:/ih2o.cnr.state.nc.us/ncwetl,inds/stnngide.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.
N/A No mitigation should be required due to the proposed impacts being below DWG's
mitigation thresholds.
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 hnp://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/WW/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
Page 6 of 8
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 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
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.

Dear Mr. Moss:
The information that was received by the Raleigh Regional Office has been reviewed. The plat map and other
information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 02-074. This
letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made at the subject property.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and USGS Rolesville Quad maps were evaluated on February 18,
2002 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two small unnamed
tributaries and a pond present on the property and shown on the County soil map that are subject to protection under
the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These unnamed tributaries and the Little River
and the required buffer are shown on the attached map.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Wetlands 401/404 issues,
please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. 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

RE: Request for Nationwide Permit 14, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neuse
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 730400m E, "85860m N)
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of Dennis Cyrus of Denmark Construction (property owner), we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) to use Nationwide
Permit 14 for impacts to a jurisdictional stream channel and adjacent wetlands resulting
from the construction of a road crossing fro the above referenced project. We also
request 401-certification and written concurrence from the NC-Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that the proposed subdivision and its road crossing comply with the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as
is an agent authorization form.
The proposed project is located approximately 1600 feet due east of the intersection of
Highway 96 and Oak Grove Road (SR 1128), just north of the Wake County/Franklin
County line. The Little River is immediately east of the property. Please refer to the
USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project.
The proposed residential subdivision requires a road crossing of a perennial stream that
completely bisects the property. The existing Oak Grove Road will be extended east and
will cross the perennial stream channel and wetlands adjacent to the stream channel at an
approximately perpendicular angle. The proposed road crossing will impact 145
linear feet of perennial, important stream channel and 0.300 acre of adjacent
wetland. The proposed road crossing is required to provide access to the northern
portion of the property.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation within and around the proposed road crossing,
however this delineation has not yet been approved by the USAGE. Upland and Wetland

Data Forms are attached. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ evaluated features on the
site potentially subject to the buffers on February 18, 2002. A copy of his April 8, 2002
letter (NBRRO 02-074)-is attached and the impact map reflects his determinations.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts
exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge to a special aquatic
site such as wetlands is proposed. A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of
the property from Oak Grove Church Road, making it necessary to impact jurisdictional
areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. Impacts to other jurisdictional
channels and wetlands have been avoided. Proposed impacts to buffers will total 0.330
acre. Because the applicant has minimized wetland and stream impacts to the maximum
extent practicable, compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE for
this project.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires stream mitigation for impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet per project, buffer mitigation for impacts that exceed 1/3 acre per tributary, and
wetland mitigation for impacts that exceed 1 acre per project. Because the only impact
on the property is below all of these thresholds no mitigation should be required.
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at SClark(cu,SandEC.com. if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
cSean Clark

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

Page 4 of 8
4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands [] stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A 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.
A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of the property from Highway 96,
making it necessary to impact the areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. To
minimize the impacts the proposed road is located so as to have only one stream and wetland
crossing The roadway has been designed to cross wetlands and stream channels at an
approximately perpendicular angle to minimize impact. Culverts across stream channels are
designed in accordance with USACE and NCDWQ standards to allow passage for fish and
aquatic organisms
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
Page 5 of 8
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/stn-ngide.html.
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.
N/A No mitigation should be required due to the proposed impacts being below DWQ's
mitigation thresholds.
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.eiir.state.nc.us/wm/index.htn 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

NBRRO 02-074
Franklin County
Dear Mr. Moss:
The information that was received by the Raleigh Regional Office has been reviewed. The plat map and other
information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 02-074. This
letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made at the subject property.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and USGS Rolesville Quad maps were evaluated on February 18,
2002 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two small unnamed
tributaries and a pond present on the property and shown on the County soil map that are subject to protection under
the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These unnamed tributaries and the Little River
and the required buffer are shown on the attached map.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Wetlands 401/404 issues,
please contact Mr. John Domey at 919-733-1786. 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

RE: Request for Nationwide Permit 14, 401-Water Quality Certification, and Neus
Buffer Compliance for the proposed River's Edge Residential Subdivision in ?.
Franklin County, NC (UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 730a00m E, 3985a6om N) -
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of Dennis Cyrus of Denmark Construction (property owner), we hereby
request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide
Permit 14 for impacts to a jurisdictional stream channel and adjacent wetlands resulting
from the construction of a road crossing fro the above referenced project. We also
request 401-certification and written concurrence from the NC-Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that the proposed subdivision and its road crossing comply with the Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as
is an agent authorization form.
The proposed project is located approximately 1600 feet due east of the intersection of
Highway 96 and Oak Grove Road (SR 1128), just north of the Wake County/Franklin
County line. The Little River is immediately east of the property. Please refer to the
USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project.
The proposed residential subdivision requires a road crossing of a perennial stream that
completely bisects the property. The existing Oak Grove Road will be extended east and
will cross the perennial stream channel and wetlands adjacent to the stream channel at an
approximately perpendicular angle. The proposed road crossing will impact 145
linear feet of perennial, important stream channel and 0.300 acre of adjacent
wetland. The proposed road crossing is required to provide access to the northern
portion of the property.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation within and around the proposed road crossing,
however this delineation has not yet been approved by the USACE. Upland and Wetland

Data Forms are attached. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ evaluated features on the
site potentially subject to the buffers on February 18, 2002. A copy of his April 8, 2002
letter (NBRRO 02-074) is attached and the impact map reflects his determinations.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts
ex ed the requirements for notification (0.40 acre) or if a discharge to a special aquatic
site ' as wetlands is proposed. A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of
the, o erty from Oak Grove Church Road, making it necessary to impact jurisdictional
are ith a road crossing to provide access to the site. Impacts to other jurisdictional
ckianr is and wetlands have been avoided. Proposed impacts to buffers will total 0.330
1t re; Because the applicant has minimized wetland and stream impacts to the maximum
extent practicable, compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE for
kthis project.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires stream mitigation for impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet per project, buffer mitigation for impacts that exceed 1/3 acre per tributary, and
wetland mitigation for impacts that exceed 1 acre per project. Because the only impact
on the property is below all of these thresholds no mitigation should be required.
Please call me at 846-5900 or email me at SC1ark@a,SandEC.com if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A 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.
A wetland and stream channel separate the majority of the property from Highway 96,
making it necessary to impact the areas with a road crossing to provide access to the site. To
minimize the impacts the proposed road is located so as to have only one stream and wetland
crossing The roadway has been designed to cross wetlands and stream channels at an
!qpproximately perpendicular angle to minimize impact. Culverts across stream channels are
designed in accordance with USACE and NCDWQ standards to allow passage for fish and
aquatic organisms
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
Page 5 of 8
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/strmp,ide.html.
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.
N/A No mitigation should be required due to the proposed impacts being below DM's
mitigation thresholds.
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 httl2:Hl12o.enr.state.nc.us,'wn2/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)

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. )?
Yes ® No El 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 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 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
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
N/A No buffer mitigation should be required because the proposed impacts are less than
1/3 acre.

Dear Mr. Moss:
The information that was received by the Raleigh Regional Office has been reviewed. The plat map and other
information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 02-074. This
letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made at the subject property.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and USGS Rolesville Quad maps were evaluated on February 18,
2002 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two small unnamed
tributaries and a pond present on the property and shown on the County soil map that are subject to protection under
the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). These unnamed tributaries and the Little River
and the required buffer are shown on the attached map.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Wetlands 401/404 issues,
please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. 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
