APPROVAL. of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Weaver:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in a maximum of 149 linear feet of
perennial streams, including bank stabilization measures, and to impact 13,559 square feet of protected Neuse Buffers in
order to construct The Registry at Bailey Farm in Wake County, as described in your application received by the Division of
Water Quality on November 1, 2002. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3362, which can be downloaded from our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands . This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when issued by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This approval is-also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213 .0233). In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not
limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed 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. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401
Certification has been completed;
2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective
buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in
place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and
Authorization Certificate: A sample deed notification can be downloaded frorri the 401 /Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands.;
Stormwater from these lots shall be directed to flow at non-erosive velocities into the protected buffers onsite.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to
Chapter 1508 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please call Steve Mitchell in our Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700 or Cyndi Karoly in the Central

Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Jones:
On behalf of Keith Weaver (property owner), we hereby request authorization from the
US Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 39 to cover impacts to a stream
channel. We also request written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality
(NC-DWQ) that the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated
with Nationwide Permit 39 and the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as well an agent authorization form.
The proposed project, which consists of a residential development, is located
approximately 1700 feet east of the intersection of Norwood Road (1834) and Mount
Vernon Road (1845), on both the north and south sides of Norwood Road. Please refer to
the USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project. S&EC conducted a
Neuse Buffer evaluation of the project site in 1999. On September 8, 1999, Mr. Charles
Brown, of the NC-DWQ, conducted a site visit and determined features A, E, G, H, the
pond above feature C, and the two ponds above feature L were determined to be not
subject to the Buffer Rules (see attached 9/14/99 letter). All other features were
determined to be subject at the locations depicted on the attached approved buffer map.
On October 8, 2002, S&EC conducted a delineation of the proposed road crossing only
and determined that the jurisdictional area within the impact corridor consists of a

perennial stream channel only. No wetlands outside of the stream channel were found.
An upland data point describing this area is attached.
The applicant plans to construct a road crossing over an unnamed tributary to Lower
Barton Creek in order to access lots 8 -11 (see impact..l.on,.atthed,impact map). The
proposed crossing will impact 149 linear feet of stream channel and. 69 square feet of
Zone 1 and 4,888 square feet of Zone 2 of the riparian buffer. No btlier impacts to
wetland, stream channels, or riparian buffers are proposed on-site. Pr ase note that four
proposed well lots are shown on the northern side of the site (see inset+B). These areas
s
are reserved for future well lots to be used by beater Utilities, Inc AiThe. wells are not
planned to serve the Registry at Bailey Farm an4-IL l not be installed iri the near future,
but they may be used by Heater Utilities in the future to provide water` °to surrounding
residential areas. A 16- foot long existing path and pipe, which according to the
applicant were constructed in 1964, are present across stream feature D and its riparian
buffer between proposed well lots 1 and 2. If wells are installed, the existing road will be
used to access well lots 2 - 4, and a 6" water line will be installed through the existing
road to carry water from wells 2 - 4 off site. According to Mr. Trenton Stewart, of BNK,
Inc., the existing crossing will be adequate to install the 6" water line required to carry
water across the stream channel, and no additional impacts to the stream channel and
riparian buffer in the vicinity of the existing stream crossing will be required. Therefore,
no impacts to stream channel or riparian buffer are proposed in this location.
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. The applicant requested a detailed delineation
proposed impact areas in order to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional wetlands
to the maximum extent practicable. However, a portion of high ground on the northern
side of the site, comprised of lots 8 -11, is bounded to the east, west and south by
buffered stream channels, making it necessary to construct a road crossing over a
perennial channel to access the area. The applicant plans to cross the channel and
riparian buffer at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact.
Because the roadway crossing will be constructed perpendicular to the stream channel,
S&EC believes the USACE should not require further compensatory mitigation for this
project.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or stream mitigation for wetland and
perennial stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because
the total cumulative. permanent impacts for the site consist of 149 linear feet of stream
channel and no wetland impacts, S&EC believes that neither wetland nor stream
mitigation should be required by NC-DWQ.

square feet (0.311 acre) and 149 linear feet. Current NC-DWQ policy allows road
crossing without mitigation if the impacts are less than or equal to 150 linear feet of
stream channel or 1/3 acre of riparian buffer per tributary. Because the project impacts
are within these thresholds, S&EC believes that riparian buffer mitigation should not be
required.

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, her storing, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

Bailey Farm Tract
Wake County
Dear Mr. Rollans:
On September 8, 1999, I conducted a site visit of the stream feature involved in the
above referenced project. It was determined as a result of the site visit that the water bodies/
channels present on the property were intermittent streams and therefore subject to the
Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC
0233). The water bodies/channels and the approximate placement of the buffer area is
defined on the attached plan. The water bodies/channels are unnamed tributarys of Lower
Barton Creek.
This office has assigned the reference number of NBRRO 99 197 to this project.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or if
you have any additional questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact
me at 571-4700 ext. 245.
Sincerely, .

(UTM Coordinates: Z 17, 7105200E, 39805300 N)
S&EC Project #: 99-4735)
Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Jones:
On behalf of Keith Weaver (property owner), we hereby request authorization from the
US Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 39 to cover impacts to a stream
channel. We also request written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality
(NC-DWQ) that the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated
with Nationwide Permit 39 and the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as well an agent authorization form.
The proposed project, which consists of a residential development, is located
approximately 1700 feet east of the intersection of Norwood Road (1834) and Mount
Vernon Road (1845), on both the north and south sides of Norwood Road. Please refer to
the USGS topographic map attached for the location of the project. S&EC conducted a
Neuse Buffer evaluation of the project site in 1999. On September 8, 1999, Mr. Charles
Brown, of the NC-DWQ, conducted a site visit and determined features A, E, G, H, the
pond above feature C, and the two ponds above feature L were determined to be not
subject to the Buffer Rules (see attached 9/14/99 letter). All other features were
determined to be subject at the locations depicted on the attached approved buffer map.
On October 8, 2002, S&EC conducted a delineation of the proposed road crossing only
and determined that the jurisdictional area within the impact corridor consists of a
perennial stream channel only. No wetlands outside of the stream channel were found.
An upland data point describing this area is attached.

S&EC Project #: 4735
Page 2 of 3
The applicant plans to construct a road crossing over an unnamed tributary to Lower
Barton Creek in order to access lots 8 - 11 (see impact 1 on attached impact map). The
proposed crossing will impact 149 linear feet of stream channel and 8,669 square feet of
Zone 1 and 4,888 square feet of Zone 2 of the riparian buffer. No other impacts to
wetland, stream channels, or riparian buffers are proposed on-site. Please note that four
proposed well lots are shown on the northern side of the site (see inset B). These areas
are reserved for future well lots to be used by Heater Utilities, Inc. The wells are not
planned to serve the Registry at Bailey Farm and will not be installed in the near future,
but they may be used by Heater Utilities in the future to provide water to surrounding
residential areas. A 16- foot long existing path and pipe, which according to the
applicant were constructed in 1964, are present across stream feature D and its riparian
buffer between proposed well lots 1 and 2. If wells are installed, the existing road will be
used to access well lots 2 - 4, and a 6" water line will be installed through the existing
road to carry water from wells 2 - 4 off site. According to Mr. Trenton Stewart, of BW
Inc., the existing crossing will be adequate to install the 6" water line required to carry
water across the stream channel, and no additional impacts to the stream channel and
riparian buffer in the vicinity of the existing stream crossing will be required. Therefore,
no impacts to stream channel or riparian buffer are proposed in this location.
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. The applicant requested a detailed delineation
proposed impact areas in order to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional wetlands
to the maximum extent practicable. However, a portion of high ground on the northern
side of the site, comprised of lots 8 -11, is bounded to the east, west and south by
buffered stream channels, making it necessary to construct a road crossing over a
perennial channel to access the area. The applicant plans to cross the channel and
riparian buffer at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact.
Because the roadway crossing will be constructed perpendicular to the stream channel,
S&EC believes the USACE should not require further compensatory mitigation for this
project.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or stream mitigation for wetland and
perennial stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because
the total cumulative permanent impacts for the site consist of 149 linear feet of stream
channel and no wetland impacts, S&EC believes that neither wetland nor stream
mitigation should, be required by NC-DWQ.
As noted above, the applicant plans to construct a road crossing over an unnamed
tributary of Lower Barton Creek to access a portion of high ground on the northern
boundary of the site. The cumulative riparian buffer impacts to this tributary are 13,559
October 15, 2002
S&EC Project #: 4735
Page 3 of 3
square feet (0.311 acre) and 149 linear feet. Current NC-DWQ policy allows road
crossing without mitigation if the impacts are less than or equal to 150 linear feet of
stream channel or 1/3 acre of riparian buffer per tributary. Because the project impacts
are within these thresholds, S&EC believes that riparian buffer mitigation should not be
required.

5. 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

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 delineation of wetlands and waters within the proposed impact
area in order to minimize nnpacts to jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent practicable
However, a portion of hiL-h eround on the northern side of the site comprised of lots 8 11 is
bounded to the east west and south by buffered stream channels making it necessary to
construct a road crossim over a perennial channel to access the area The applicant plans to
cross the channel and riparian buffer at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to
minimize impact.
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.
Page 9 of 12
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
httD://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetI ands/strmQide.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.
NA
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
[phone] 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/wrn/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the

Dear Mr. Rollans:
On September 8, 1999, I conducted a site visit of the stream feature involved in the
above referenced project. It was determined as a result of the site visit that the water bodies/
channels present on the property were intermittent streams and therefore subject to the
Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC
0233). The water bodies/channels and the approximate placement of the buffer area is
defined on the attached plan. The water bodes/channels are unnamed tributarys of Lower
Barton Creek.
This office has assigned the reference number of NBRRO 99 197 to this project.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or if
you have any additional questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact
me at 571-4700 ext. 245.
Sincerely,
N??

Dear Mr. Dorney,
On October 31, 20029 I received correspondence from the NC-DWQ stating
that the 401-Water Quality Certification application and Neuse River Buffer
compliance request for the Registry at Bailey Farm has been placed on hold,
pending receipt of 7 signed copies of the application. I am hereby
resubmitting the 401-Water Quality Certification application and Buffer
compliance request, despite the fact that I feel this matter could be settled in
a far more timely and efficient manner by requesting that I come by your
office and sign the applications in person, or by requesting a faxed or mailed
copy of page 12 of the PCN with my signature, rather than by requiring a re-
submittal of the entire application and re-setting the 60-day permit
processing period. However, instead of debating the issue, I am re-
submitting the application in order to best serve the interests of our client.
