Because the applicant will comply with the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with Nationwide Permit 12, the clearing limits are less than 40 feet in width, the crossings are at a near perpendicular angle, and there are no parallel clearing limits are within zones 1 and 2 of the buffer, this is solely a courtesy copy sent to the NC-DWQ. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an agent authorization form. The proposed project consists of impacts from the construction of a sewerline. The project is located on the south side of Charleston Street (SR 1607). The proposed easement extends approximately 3000 feet west of Highway 264 to where it ties into an existing sewer easement. The area surrounding the proposed project consists primarily of agricultural land use. Please refer to the attached USGS map, which displays the location of the proposed project. S&EC performed a detailed delineation on September 3, 2002. We believe that feature B (depicted on the Wilson County Soil Survey) consists of wetlands, not channels subject to the Neuse Buffer rules. Because the proposed sewerline will be a perpendicular crossing that will disturb less than 40 linear feet of riparian buffer and has a maintenance corridor of 10 feet at that location, the activity is listed as exempt from the Buffer Rules. Charlotte Office: Greensboro Office: Hickory Office: 236 LePhillip Court, Suite C 3817-E Lawndale Drive 710 Boston Road Concord, NC 28025 Greensboro, NC 27455 Taylorsville, NC 28681 Phone: (704) 720-9405 Phone: (336) 540-8234 Phone (828) 635-5820 Fax: (704) 720-9406 Fax: (336) 540-8235 Fax: (828) 635-5820 Therefore, we did not conduct a site visit with the DWQ to confirm this feature in order to save time and money. Please also see the attached wetland and upland data forms in support of the wetland delineation. The applicant requested a detailed wetland delineation and buffer evaluation within the sewerline corridor in order to avoid jurisdictional wetlands and waters and riparian buffers to the maximum extent practicable. The proposed sewerline will temporarily impact approximately 0.042 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, and 38.8 linear feet of perennial channel. These impacts are elaborated upon within the attached PCN form and are shown on the attached inset impact maps. The proposed sewerline is needed to provide sanitary sewer service to the future commercial development to be constructed near the intersection of Highway 264 and Charleston Street. Wetland impacts were minimized to the greatest extent practicable by aligning the sewerline as close to the road as possible. Channel impacts were unavoidable because the channel bisects the proposed corridor of the sewerline. However, the crossing will be at a near perpendicular angle and all contours will be restored following construction. The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre). The proposed sewerline is necessary in order to provide sanitary sewer service to the proposed commercial development. Because the applicant has minimized impacts to the maximum extent practicable, S&EC believes further compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE. NC-DWQ's current policy requires written concurrence for stream impacts of greater or equal to 150 linear feet of stream length per project. We request written concurrence that the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide Permit 12. NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or stream mitigation for perennial stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because impacts to wetlands and channels are temporary, and are below the thresholds for mitigation, we do not believe that wetland nor stream mitigation should be required by NC-DWQ. Please also note that following construction the site will contain no impervious surface. Because wetland impacts are below 0.1 acres and because impervious surface will be less than 30%, we do not believe that this project requires a pre-approved stormwater plan. Please call if you require any additional information or have any questions.

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.): NA Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA 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. The applicant requested a detailed wetland delineation and buffer evaluation within the sewerline corridor in order to avoid jurisdictional wetlands and waters and riparian buffers to the maximum extent practicable The proposed sewerline is needed to provide sanitary sewer service to the future commercial development to be constructed near the intersection of Highway 264 and Charleston Street. Wetland impacts were minimized by aligning the sewerline as close to the road as possible. Channel impacts were unavoidable because the creek bisects the proposed corridor of the sewerline. However, the crossing will be at a near perpendicular angle and all contours will be restored following construction. 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 Page 9 of 12 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/ametlands/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. The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre). The proposed sewerline is necessary in order to provide sanitary sewer service to the proposed commercial development Because the applicant has minimized impacts to the maximum extent practicable S&EC believes further compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE. NC-DWQ's current policy requires written concurrence for stream impacts of greater or equal to 150 linear feet of stream length per project We request written concurrence that the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide Permit 12. NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or stream mitigation for perennial stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because impacts to wetlands and channels are temporary and below the thresholds for mitigation, we do not believe that wetland or stream mitigation should be required by NC-DWQ. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Page 10 of 12 IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ? No ? If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ? X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) 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 DWO 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 (Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? Yes ® No E] If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 1864 3 NA 2 1557 1.5 NA Total 3421 NA * Gone 1. extends out 3U teet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Gone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of zone 1. Page 11 of 12 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. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) 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. Following construction of the sewerline there will be 0% impervious surface; therefore, we do not believe a stormwater management plan should be required by the DWQ. XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) 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. Sanitary sewer treatment XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes E] No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes E] 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).
