Dear Ms. Jones: i?
SUBJECT: NATIONWIDE PERMIT 14 APPLICATION FOR WILSON PLACE - PHASE 2,
BRUCE GARNER ROAD (SR 1711), GRANVILLE COUNTY.
Please find enclosed the permit application and Pre-Construction Notification (Attachment A) for
the subject project. The proposed project calls for a 20-foot wide roadway (Corrina Road) with
6-foot shoulders that will impact a stream and wetland in order to access Phase 2 of the subject
project and a driveway crossing of a stream to access Lot 31. Phase I consists of Lots 1 through
24 and 26, most of which have been developed. There were no jurisdictional impacts associated
with Phase 1. Phase 2 includes lots 25 and 27 through 48.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Wetlands: There are five wetlands on the property. The wetlands were delineated using the
criteria specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Ms. Amanda
Jones of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Raleigh Regulatory Field Office (USACE) verified
the wetlands on July 17, 2002. Only one wetland, Wetland D as shown in Figure 2 in the
Jurisdictional Waters of the United States report in Attachment C, will be impacted by this project
(Site 1). Wetland D totals 0.12 acre. The roadway will fill the middle 0.06-acre of the wetland,
however, since the area will be undercut with a drainage pipe, all but the small 6 foot wide section
connecting to Surface Water 1 (0.11 acre in total) is expected to be impacted by this project. The
Site Plan in Attachment B details the impacts. The wetland data sheets are also included in
Attachment C.
Surface Waters: The main stream through the property, an unnamed tributary (UT) to Smith
Creek, begins along the east boundary, flows west towards the middle of the tract, and then flows
north off the property to Smith Creek. It is labeled as Surface Water 1 on the Site Plan in
Attachment B. There are two other drainage features that start on the property and flow into the
main drainage way and are labeled Surface Water 2 and Surface Water 3. They appear to be
intermittent streams. Surface Water I starts off as intermittent but appears to become perennial at
the confluence with the Surface Water 3. All three streams were also verified by the USACE in
the July 17, 2002 field review.
The proposed crossing of Corrina Road, Site 2, will impact 116 linear feet of the main UT to
Smith Creek (Site Plan in Attachment B). In order to access Lot 31, a second crossing of Surface
Water 1 will be required, Site 3. This crossing will be a simple at-grade 16-foot wide driveway.
Since this lot has yet to be developed, the exact crossing of the stream has yet to be determined
and thus no drawing is available. However, the maximum amount of lost channel will be no more
than 25 feet. Therefore, the total impact for the project will not exceed 141 linear feet.
Neuse River Buffers: Surface Water 1 and 2 are shown on Sheet 16 of the Soil Survey of
Granville County (1997) as intermittent streams and is included in Attachment B. The USGS
Grissom Quad shows only a single surface water, Surface Water 1 connecting to Surface Water 2.
Therefore, these streams are subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Regulations. However,
the only impact to the buffers is at the proposed stream crossings. There will be 6625 ft2 (0.15
acre) of impacts to Zone 1 and 3600 ft2 (0.08 acre) of impacts to Zone 2, for a total impact of
10225 ft2 (0.24 acre).
In accordance with Buffer Regulations, level spreaders will be installed outside of the buffer zones
along the drainage ditches associated with the road crossing, as shown in the Site Plan
(Attachment B). The level spreader details are also included in Attachment B.
Avoidance & Minimization: In order to access the back portion of the subdivision, Surface Water
1 must be crossed. After a thorough evaluation, this area was chosen for the crossing for the
following reasons:
1. There is basically no floodplain at this crossing
2. The crossing is relatively perpendicular to the stream
3. Moving the crossing further west results in a wider a footprint, increased stream impacts,
and adversely effects lot configuration
4. Moving the crossing east results in impacts to a Wetland E, which is the largest and
highest quality wetland on the property.
In accordance with items 3 and 4 above, Wetland E will be totally contained within Lot 29. Lot
29 can still be developed while avoiding any impacts to this wetland.
It was also decided to keep Lot 31 as a single lot instead of creating multiple lots and extending
Dillon Lane as a raised roadbed across Surface Water 1 to access them. This avoided a much
larger and significant impact to the stream.
Mitigations: Due to the small amount of jurisdictional and buffer impacts associated with this
project and the subdivision configuration, which essentially protects the remaining jurisdictional
areas, no mitigation is proposed.
CONCLUSION
It is anticipated that these activities will be authorized through a Section 404 Nationwide Permit
39. By copy of this application, it is requested that the NC Division of Water Quality review the
proposal for authorization by a 401 Water Quality Certification B and Riparian Buffer
Certification. A payment of $200.00 and seven copies of the application packet are enclosed to
facilitate this review. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact
Mr. Michael Wood of The Catena Group at 919-732-1300.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
In order to access the back portion of the subdivision, the stream in question must be
crossed. This area was chosen for the crossing for the following reasons:
(1) there is basically no floodplain at this crossing
(2) the crossing is relatively perpendicular to the stream
(3) moving the crossing further west results in a wider a footprint, increased stream
impacts, and adversely effects lot configuration
(4) moving the crossing east results in impacts to a second jurisdictional stream and
increased natural resource impacts.

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
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.htm1.
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.
None proaosed

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.statc.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 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 SERA
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 SERA 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:
Page 9 of 12
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 6625 3
2 3600 1.5
Total 10225
* 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
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.
Impervious acreage will include the roads, drivewavs, and footprint of the dwellinp-s. The
total acreage of the site is 82.3 acres. Assuming all 48 lots are developed at 3000 ft2 of
impervious area (including roads), a maximum of 5% of the total acreage of the site will
become impervious. The subdivision is laid out such that the streams and wetlands are
along property lines, affording the maximum protection from increased stormwater. So
aside from the level spreaders at the one stream crossina, no additional stormwater
controls are proposed.
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.
On-site wastewater subsurface system for each family residence.
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
Page 10 of 12
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
9t
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).

INTRODUCTION
The following report is submitted to assist in an assessment of the jurisdictional waters of
the United States on the 82.3 acre Wilson Place Subdivision in Granville County, North
Carolina (Figure 1).
Wetlands and surface waters fall under the broad category of "Waters of the United
States" as defined in 33 CFR Section 328.3(a) in accordance with provisions of Section
404 of the CWA (33 U.S. C. 1344). Surface water as defined by the United States Army
Corps of Engineers, is water present above the substrate or soil surface. This includes the
waters within a stream channel, lake, or pond. Wetlands are defined as "those areas that
are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions" (Environmental
Laboratory 1987).
PRIMARY INVESTIGATOR CREDENTIALS
Principal Investigator: Michael G. Wood N.C. Licensed Soil Scientist (Certification # 1219)
Certified Grade 1 Water Pollution Control
System Operator (Certification # 19595)
Education: M.S. Soil Science, University of Rhode Island, Kinston, RI
B.S. Recreation Management, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Prior to a site visit, published resource information pertaining to the project area was
gathered and reviewed. Information sources include:
• Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle map (Grissom)
• USDA Soil Conservation Service, currently known as Natural Resource Conservation
Service, Soil Survey of County (1997)
• Survey Map of Wilson Place prepared by Ben L. Bryan, P.A.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The project site was visited on May 19 and 21, 2002. Potential wetland communities
were delineated using the criteria specified in the "1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual' (Environmental Laboratory 1987). For an area to be considered a
"wetland", the following three specifications must be met; 1) presence of hydric soils, 2)
presence of hydrophytic vegetation, and 3) evidence of hydrology, including; saturated
soils, stained, oxidized rhizospheres, matted vegetation, high water marks on trees,
buttressed tree bases and surface roots. The wetland boundaries were delineated with
pink and black stripe flagging tape. Their location was mapped using the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and recorded by a Trimble ProXR/TSCI with reported sub-
meter accuracy. The location of each wetland and surface water is shown in Figure 2.
Wetlands
A total of five (lettered A-E) wetland sites were delineated on the tract. These wetlands
have been classified according to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management; Field Guide to North
Carolina Wetlands (Report No. 96-01, 1996). A brief description of each wetland type
occurring on the property is provided below.
Headwater Forests (wetland E). The predominant hydrology of these wetlands is surface
run-off from rainfall. These areas are located between drainage ways that are flat
enough to retain the surface run-off for long enough periods to develop hydric soils
and hydrophytic vegetation. Wetland D also receives some of its hydrology from
ground water seepage (see below). Wetland D is the largest and highest quality
wetland on the property (excluding wetland A).
Seeps (wetlands B-E). Seepage wetlands are small areas that are saturated at the soil
surface. They generally occur on sloping hillsides and at the base of floodplain
slopes.
Bottomland Hardwoods (wetland A). Bottomland Hardwood Forests are wetlands that
occur along medium to large streams and rivers, often where tributary streams join.
Wetland E occurs along the unnamed tributary to Smith Creek and is part of a
large wetland complex that extends beyond the tract boundaries towards Smith
Creek. This wetland also has a longer hydro-period than those classed as headwater
forests.
A wetland data form for each wetland site is provided in Appendix A. Since the upland
data points were similar across the entire Wilson Place tract, only one upland data form is
provided (last one).
Surface Waters
A tributary to Smith Creek that flows northward through the property drains the Wilson
Tract. Smith Creek arises northeast of the tract and flows in a general southwest
direction until it flows into an arm of Falls Lake that is formed by Beaver Dam Creek and
Smith Creek. The tributary that runs through the property is jurisdictional water. All
jurisdictional waters and stormwater (ephemeral) channels are depicted on the survey
map of Wilson Place.
Smith Creek carries a best usage classification WS-IV NSW, as assigned by NCDEHNR-
DWQ. Unnamed tributaries receive the same best usage classification as the streams into
which they flow. WS-IV waters are protected as water supplies in moderately to highly
developed watersheds. Local programs to control non-point source and stormwater
discharge of pollution are required with this designation. These waters are suitable for all
Class C uses. Class C designates waters suitable for aquatic life propagation and
survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation and agriculture. Class C imposes a
minimum standard of protection for all waters of North Carolina. The supplemental
classification NSW denotes Nutrient Sensitive Waters, which require additional nutrient
management, because of their susceptibility to excessive growth of microscopic and
macroscopic vegetation. The entire Neuse River Basin is designated as NSW. No waters
classified as High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), WS-I,
or WS-11, which are waters that are afforded special protection, occur within 1.6 km (1
mi.) of the project area.
CONCLUSION
The findings presented herein represent The Catena Group's professional opinion based
on our site evaluation and knowledge of the current federal and state laws and rules
governing Jurisdictional Waters of the United States. The limits of the jurisdictional
surface waters and seventeen wetlands were delineated on the property. These
delineations need to be verified by the United State Army Corps of Engineers and
possibly personnel from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Any concurrence
with the findings of this report would be made at that time.

ATTN: Ms. Amanda Jones
Dear Ms. Jones:

SUBJECT: NATIONWIDE PERMIT 14 APPLICATION FOR WILSON PLACE - PHASE 2,
BRUCE GARNER ROAD (SR 1711), GRANVILLE COUNTY.
Please find enclosed the permit application and Pre-Construction Notification (Attachment A) for
the subject project. The proposed project calls for a 20-foot wide roadway (Corrina Road) with
6-foot shoulders that will impact a stream and wetland in order to access Phase 2 of the subject
project and a driveway crossing of a stream to access Lot 31. Phase 1 consists of Lots 1 through
24 and 26, most of which have been developed. There were no jurisdictional impacts associated
with Phase 1. Phase 2 includes lots 25 and 27 through 48.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Wetlands: There are five wetlands on the property. The wetlands were delineated using the
criteria specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Ms. Amanda
Jones of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Raleigh Regulatory Field Office (USACE) verified
the wetlands on July 17, 2002. Only one wetland, Wetland D as shown in Figure 2 in the
Jurisdictional Waters of the United States report in Attachment C, will be impacted by this project
(Site 1). Wetland D totals 0.12 acre. The roadway will fill the middle 0.06-acre of the wetland,
however, since the area will be undercut with a drainage pipe, all but the small 6 foot wide section
connecting to Surface Water 1 (0.11 acre in total) is expected to be impacted by this project. The
Site Plan in Attachment B details the impacts. The wetland data sheets are also included in
Attachment C.
Surface Waters: The main stream through the property, an unnamed tributary (UT) to Smith
Creek, begins along the east boundary, flows west towards the middle of the tract, and then flows
north off the property to Smith Creek. It is labeled as Surface Water I on the Site Plan in
Attachment B. There are two other drainage features that start on the property and flow into the
main drainage way and are labeled Surface Water 2 and Surface Water 3. They appear to be
intermittent streams. Surface Water 1 starts off as intermittent but appears to become perennial at
the confluence with the Surface Water 3. All three streams were also verified by the USACE in
the July 17, 2002 field review.
The proposed crossing of Corrina Road, Site 2, will impact 116 linear feet of the main UT to
Smith Creek (Site Plan in Attachment B). In order to access Lot 31, a second crossing of Surface
Water 1 will be required, Site 3. This crossing will be a simple at-grade 16-foot wide driveway.
Since this lot has yet to be developed, the exact crossing of the stream has yet to be determined
and thus no drawing is available. However, the maximum amount of lost channel will be no more
than 25 feet. Therefore, the total impact for the project will not exceed 141 linear feet.
Neuse River Buffers: Surface Water 1 and 2 are shown on Sheet 16 of the Soil Survey of
Granville County (1997) as intermittent streams and is included in Attachment B. The USGS
Grissom Quad shows only a single surface water, Surface Water 1 connecting to Surface Water 2.
Therefore, these streams are subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Regulations. However,
the only impact to the buffers is at the proposed stream crossings. There will be 6625 ft2 (0.15
acre) of impacts to Zone 1 and 3600 ft2 (0.08 acre) of impacts to Zone 2, for a total impact of
10225 ft2 (0.24 acre).
In accordance with Buffer Regulations, level spreaders will be installed outside of the buffer zones
along the drainage ditches associated with the road crossing, as shown in the Site Plan
(Attachment B). The level spreader details are also included in Attachment B.
Avoidance & Minimization: In order to access the back portion of the subdivision, Surface Water
1 must be crossed. After a thorough evaluation, this area was chosen for the crossing for the
following reasons:
1. There is basically no floodplain at this crossing
2. The crossing is relatively perpendicular to the stream
3. Moving the crossing further west results in a wider a footprint, increased stream impacts,
and adversely effects lot configuration
4. Moving the crossing east results in impacts to a Wetland E, which is the largest and
highest quality wetland on the property.
In accordance with items 3 and 4 above, Wetland E will be totally contained within Lot 29. Lot
29 can still be developed while avoiding any impacts to this wetland.
It was also decided to keep Lot 31 as a single lot instead of creating multiple lots and extending
Dillon Lane as a raised roadbed across Surface Water 1 to access them. This avoided a much
larger and significant impact to the stream.
Mitigations: Due to the small amount of jurisdictional and buffer impacts associated with this
project and the subdivision configuration, which essentially protects the remaining jurisdictional
areas, no mitigation is proposed.
CONCLUSION
It is anticipated that these activities will be authorized through a Section 404 Nationwide Permit
39. By copy of this application, it is requested that the NC Division of Water Quality review the
proposal for authorization by a 401 Water Quality Certification B and Riparian Buffer
Certification. A payment of $200.00 and seven copies of the application packet are enclosed to
facilitate this review. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact
Mr. Michael Wood of The Catena Group at 919-732-1300.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
In order to access the back portion of the subdivision, the stream in question must be
crossed. This area was chosen for the crossing for the following reasons:
(1) there is basically no floodplain at this crossing
(2) the crossing is relatively perpendicular to the stream
(3) moving the crossing further west results in a wider a footprint, increased stream
impacts, and adversely effects lot configuration
(4) moving the crossing east results in impacts to a second iurisdictional stream and
increased natural resource impacts.

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
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/ncwetiands/strmgide.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.
None proposed

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.cnr.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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 213 .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:
Page 9 of 12
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
Miti ation

2 3600 1.5
Total 10225
* 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
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.
Impervious acreage will include the roads, driveways, and footprint of the dwellings. The
total acreage of the site is 82.3 acres. Assuming all 48 lots are developed at 3000 112 of
impervious area (including roads), a maximum of 5% of the total acreage of the site will
become impervious. The subdivision is laid out such that the streams and wetlands are
along property lines, affording the maximum protection from increased stormwater. So
aside from the level spreaders at the one stream crossing, no additional stormwater
controls are proposed
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.
On-site wastewater subsurface system for each family residence.
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
Page 10 of 12
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).

INTRODUCTION
The following report is submitted to assist in an assessment of the jurisdictional waters of
the United States on the 82.3 acre Wilson Place Subdivision in Granville County, North
Carolina (Figure 1).
Wetlands and surface waters fall under the broad category of "Waters of the United
States" as defined in 33 CFR Section 328.3(a) in accordance with provisions of Section
404 of the CWA (33 U.S. C. 1344). Surface water as defined by the United States Army
Corps of Engineers, is water present above the substrate or soil surface. This includes the
waters within a stream channel, lake, or pond. Wetlands are defined as "those areas that
are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions" (Environmental
Laboratory 1987).
PRIMARY INVESTIGATOR CREDENTIALS
Principal Investigator: Michael G. Wood N.C. Licensed Soil Scientist (Certification # 1219)
Certified Grade 1 Water Pollution Control
System Operator (Certification # 19595)
Education: M.S. Soil Science, University of Rhode Island, Kinston, RI
B.S. Recreation Management, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Prior to a site visit, published resource information pertaining to the project area was
gathered and reviewed. Information sources include:
• Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle map (Grissom)
• USDA Soil Conservation Service, currently known as Natural Resource Conservation
Service, Soil Survey of County (1997)
• Survey Map of Wilson Place prepared by Ben L. Bryan, P.A.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The project site was visited on May 19 and 21, 2002. Potential wetland communities
were delineated using the criteria specified in the "1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual" (Environmental Laboratory 1987). For an area to be considered a
"wetland", the following three specifications must be met; 1) presence of hydric soils, 2)
presence of hydrophytic vegetation, and 3) evidence of hydrology, including; saturated
soils, stained, oxidized rhizospheres, matted vegetation, high water marks on trees,
buttressed tree bases and surface roots. The wetland boundaries were delineated with
pink and black stripe flagging tape. Their location was mapped using the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and recorded by a Trimble ProXR/TSCI with reported sub-
meter accuracy. The location of each wetland and surface water is shown in Figure 2.
Wetlands
A total of five (lettered A-E) wetland sites were delineated on the tract. These wetlands
have been classified according to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management; Field Guide to North
Carolina Wetlands (Report No. 96-01, 1996). A brief description of each wetland type
occurring on the property is provided below.
Headwater Forests (wetland E). The predominant hydrology of these wetlands is surface
run-off from rainfall. These areas are located between drainage ways that are flat
enough to retain the surface run-off for long enough periods to develop hydric soils
and hydrophytic vegetation. Wetland D also receives some of its hydrology from
ground water seepage (see below). Wetland D is the largest and highest quality
wetland on the property (excluding wetland A).
Seeps (wetlands B-E). Seepage wetlands are small areas that are saturated at the soil
surface. They generally occur on sloping hillsides and at the base of floodplain
slopes.
Bottomland Hardwoods (wetland A). Bottomland Hardwood Forests are wetlands that
occur along medium to large streams and rivers, often where tributary streams join.
Wetland E occurs along the unnamed tributary to Smith Creek and is part of a
large wetland complex that extends beyond the tract boundaries towards Smith
Creek. This wetland also has a longer hydro-period than those classed as headwater
forests.
A wetland data form for each wetland site is provided in Appendix A. Since the upland
data points were similar across the entire Wilson Place tract, only one upland data form is
provided (last one).
Surface Waters
A tributary to Smith Creek that flows northward through the property drains the Wilson
Tract. Smith Creek arises northeast of the tract and flows in a general southwest
direction until it flows into an arm of Falls Lake that is formed by Beaver Dam Creek and
Smith Creek. The tributary that runs through the property is jurisdictional water. All
jurisdictional waters and stormwater (ephemeral) channels are depicted on the survey
map of Wilson Place.
Smith Creek carries a best usage classification WS-IV NSW, as assigned by NCDEHNR-
DWQ. Unnamed tributaries receive the same best usage classification as the streams into
which they flow. WS-IV waters are protected as water supplies in moderately to highly
developed watersheds. Local programs to control non-point source and stormwater
discharge of pollution are required with this designation. These waters are suitable for all
Class C uses. Class C designates waters suitable for aquatic life propagation and
survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation and agriculture. Class C imposes a
minimum standard of protection for all waters of North Carolina. The supplemental
classification NSW denotes Nutrient Sensitive Waters, which require additional nutrient
management, because of their susceptibility to excessive growth of microscopic and
macroscopic vegetation. The entire Neuse River Basin is designated as NSW. No waters
classified as High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), WS-I,
or WS-II, which are waters that are afforded special protection, occur within 1.6 km (1
mi.) of the project area.
CONCLUSION
The findings presented herein represent The Catena Group's professional opinion based
on our site evaluation and knowledge of the current federal and state laws and rules
governing Jurisdictional Waters of the United States. The limits of the jurisdictional
surface waters and seventeen wetlands were delineated on the property. These
delineations need to be verified by the United State Army Corps of Engineers and
possibly personnel from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Any concurrence
with the findings of this report would be made at that time.
