Wake Forest, NC 27587    Re:  Leesville Road Subdivision ‐ NWP 29 PCN Submittal   Raleigh, Wake County   USACE AID: SAW‐2018‐01737   WR Project #02190423.00    Dear Mr. Phillips and Mr. Wojoski,  On behalf of TRI Pointe Homes, we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP 29  for 0.087 acres of permanent wetland impacts, 0.072 acres of temporary wetland impacts, 123 lf  of permanent stream impacts and 45 lf of temporary stream impacts for construction the proposed  Leesville Road Subdivision.  We are requesting a 401 WQC from NCDWR for the above  referenced impacts, as well as Neuse River Riparian Buffer Authorization for 21,906 sf of  permanent impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffers (Zone 1: 11,078 sf; Zone 2: 10,828 sf).     The project is ±19.81 acres in size and is located at 10805 Leesville Road in Raleigh, Wake County  (Latitude: 39.915306°N; Longitude: ‐78.729769°W).  The project is located on a single parcel (PIN:  0778978517).    The project is located in the Neuse River basin (Outside Falls Lake Watershed) and onsite waters  drain to Sycamore Creek.  The Water Quality Classification for Sycamore Creek is B;NSW, and the  Stream Index Number is: 27‐33‐9.  The cataloging unit for the site is 03020201.    Proposed Project    The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a residential townhome development to meet  the existing demand for housing in Raleigh.  The proposed project consists of construction of 80  townhome units, parking, internal access roads and associated infrastructure (water, sewer,  stormwater management, etc.).    A culverted road crossing across Stream 1 and Wetland C is necessary in order to access the  developable uplands in the southern portion of the site.  In order to meet the City of Raleigh’s  interconnectivity requirements, the proposed project is required to connect to the existing Berry  Crest Avenue road stub in the Harrington Pointe Townhomes subdivision to the south in order  extend Berry Crest Avenue to Leesville Road.    Leesville Road Subdivision – Raleigh, Wake Co.  Page 2 of 5    The internal sewer system will connect to an existing City of Raleigh gravity sewer line at a  manhole located at the southwestern corner of the property boundary.         The project will be constructed using traditional commercial construction equipment and  techniques.     Project History    WithersRavenel completed a formal delineation of the project site in 2018 and submitted a  Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination request for verification of the delineation.  Ross Sullivan  with the USACE field verified the delineation on 10/10/2018 (SAW‐2018‐01737), as documented  in the attached email from Ross Sullivan dated 10/11/2018.  As of the date of this application, the  PJD had not been received.  Please note that we are not requesting issuance of a JD in conjunction  with issuance of the requested NWP 29.    NCDWR issued a Buffer Determination Letter (NBRRO #18‐324) for the project site, which has  been provided as an attachment to this application.    The Approved Wetland/Stream/Buffer Delineation Exhibit depicting the field verified delineation  of the wetlands, streams and riparian buffers has been provided as an attachment    Proposed Impacts    The proposed impacts consist of 0.087 acres of permanent wetland impacts, 0.072 acres of  temporary wetland impacts, 123 lf of permanent stream impacts and 45 lf of temporary stream  impacts.  The project will also result in 21,906 sf of permanent impacts to Neuse River Riparian  Buffers (Zone 1: 11,078 sf; Zone 2: 10,828 sf)    The construction of the proposed extension of Berry Crest Road is necessary to access the  developable uplands in the southern portion of the site will result.  The installation of the 90’ long  72” RCP culvert and construction of the road crossing across Stream 1/Wetland C will result in 99  lf of permanent stream impacts with functional loss (Impact 9) and 0.087 acres of permanent  wetland impacts (Impact 11).  Additionally, the installation of the rip‐rap dissipator will result in  result in 24 lf of permanent stream impacts with functional loss (Impact 8).  The rip‐rap dissipator  will be installed to create a channel within the dissipator mimicking the natural channel.  The rip‐ rap will be installed by burying the rip‐rap within the constructed channel in order to allow for the  passage of aquatic life through the rip‐rap dissipator.     Headwalls will be constructed on both sides of the road to stabilize fill and minimize impacts.   During construction of the headwalls and rip‐rap dissipator, 10 lf of temporary stream impacts  (Impacts 7 & 10) and 0.013 acres of temporary wetland impacts (Impact 12) are anticipated.  The  temporarily impacted stream channel will be restored to pre‐construction contours and stabilized  with biodegradable matting to provide temporary stabilization until natural recruitment  permanently stabilizes the stream banks.  The temporarily impacts wetland areas will be restored  to natural grade and seeded with a wetland seed mix to temporarily stabilize the area until natural  recruitment revegetates the area.  Leesville Road Subdivision – Raleigh, Wake Co.  Page 3 of 5      The construction of the Berry Crest Avenue road crossing will result in 7,763 sf of permanent Zone  1 impacts and 5,277 sf of permanent Zone 2 impacts (Impact 3).  The road crossing is a  perpendicular crossing impacting less than 150 lf or 1/3 acre of riparian buffer, which is classified  as “Allowable” in the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules’ Table of Uses.    The connection of the internal sewer network to the existing City of Raleigh gravity sewer line will  result in 0.096 acres of temporary wetland impacts (Impacts 5 & 6) and 32 lf of temporary stream  impacts (Impact 4).    The construction of the sewer and establishment and perpetual maintenance of the entire 30’  easement will result in 2,099 sf of permanent Zone 1 impacts and 1,872 sf of permanent Zone 2  impacts (Impact 1) for the perpendicular crossing of Stream 1, which is an “Allowable” use.      After crossing Stream 1, the proposed sewer will run parallel to Stream 1 within Zones 1 & 2 of  the buffer in order to avoid the backslopes of SCM #2, resulting in 1,216 sf of permanent Zone 1  impacts (Allowable with Mitigation) and 3,679 sf of permanent impacts to Zone 2 (Allowable).    The proposed sewer construction will result in 0.096 acres of permanent conversion impacts as a  result of the perpetual mowing/maintenance of the easement permanently converting the  forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands.    Avoidance and Minimization    Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted  so that impacts to wetlands and “waters” could be minimized.      Proposed impacts have been minimized to those necessary for a road crossing to access  developable uplands within the southern portion of the property, and construction of a sewer line  to connect to an existing City of Raleigh gravity sewer line.  There are no proposed impacts for  construction of townhome lots.    Impacts for the proposed road crossing have been minimized through aligning the road crossing  to cross Stream 1 and Wetland C perpendicularly at the narrowest point.  The ultimate road  alignment was restricted by the requirement to tie to the existing Berry Crest Avenue road stub.   Impacts have been further minimized by using headwalls to stabilize road fill instead of traditional  backslopes.  Additionally, the rip‐rap dissipator will be installed to create a channel within the  dissipator mimicking the natural channel.  The rip‐rap will be installed by burying the rip‐rap within  the constructed channel in order to allow for the passage of aquatic life through the rip‐rap  dissipator.    All buffer impacts have been minimized by designing the road crossings and sewer crossing to  cross Stream 1 perpendicularly.       use of headwalls to stabilize greenway fill and minimize additional stream impacts associated with  traditional backslopes.  Additionally, the rip‐rap dissipater has been designed to embed the rip‐rap  Leesville Road Subdivision – Raleigh, Wake Co.  Page 4 of 5    such that the top of the rip‐rap matches the preconstruction contours of the channel, allowing for  passage of aquatic life through the rip‐rap dissipator.    Access during construction will occur from uplands. Silt fencing will be installed around all  disturbed areas to prevent loss of sediment into adjacent waters.    Mitigation    The proposed permanent stream impacts are less than 150 lf and permanent wetland impacts are  less than 0.10 acres and therefore the applicant does not propose wetland or stream mitigation.    The proposed project will result in less than 0.10 acres of permanent conversion impacts for  construction of the sewer line, and therefore the application is not proposing mitigation.    The non‐perpendicular (parallel) buffer impacts for sewer construction (Impact 2) will result in  1,216 sf of permanent Zone 1 impacts which are “Allowable with Mitigation”.  Mitigation for Zone  1 impacts is required at a 3:1 ratio, resulting in 3,648 sf of buffer mitigation being required.    The  applicant proposes to provide the 3,648 sf of required buffer mitigation through the purchase of  buffer mitigation credits from RES in one of the numerous buffer mitigation banks they operate.   A Statement of Availability from RES has been provided as an attachment.    The current request is for 0.087 acres of permanent wetland impacts, 0.072 acres of temporary  wetland impacts, 123 lf of permanent stream impacts, 45 lf of temporary stream impacts and  21,906 sf of permanent impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffers (see the attached maps and PCN

Comments: The construction of the sewer and establishment and perpetual maintenance of the entire 30' easement will result in 2,099 sf of permanent Zone 1 impacts and 1,872 sf of permanent Zone 2 impacts (Impact 1) for the perpendicular crossing of Stream 1, which is an "Allowable" use. After crossing Stream 1, the proposed sewer will run parallel to Stream 1 within Zones 1 & 2 of the buffer in order to avoid the backslopes of SCM #2, resulting in 1,216 sf of permanent Zone 1 impacts (Allowable with Mitigation) and 3,679 sf of permanent impacts to Zone 2 (Allowable). Supporting Documentation Buffer Impact Maps_2020-05-04.pdf 1.42MB E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U 1. Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized. Proposed impacts have been minimized to those necessary for a road crossing to access developable uplands within the southern portion of the property, and construction of a sewer line to connect to an eAsting City of Raleigh gravity sewer line. There are no proposed impacts for construction of townhome lots. Impacts for the proposed road crossing have been minimized through aligning the road crossing to cross Stream 1 and Wetland C perpendicularly at the narrowest point. The ultimate road alignment was restricted by the requirement to tie to the eAsting Berry Crest Avenue road stub. Impacts have been further minimized by using headwalls to stabilize road fill instead of traditional backslopes. Additionally, the rip -rap dissipator Will be installed to create a channel within the dissipator mimicking the natural channel. The rip -rap will be installed by burying the rip -rap within the constructed channel in order to allowfor the passage of aquatic life through the rip -rap dissipator. All buffer impacts have been minimized by designing the road crossings and sewer crossing to cross Stream 1 perpendicularly. use of headwalls to stabilize greenway fill and minimize additional stream impacts associated with traditional backslopes. Additionally, the rip -rap dissipater has been designed to embed the rip -rap such that the top of the rip -rap matches the preconstruction contours of the channel, allowing for passage of aquatic life through the rip -rap dissipator. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Access during construction will occur from uplands. Silt fencing will be installed around all disturbed areas to prevent loss of sediment into adjacent waters. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? r Yes r No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: The proposed permanent stream impacts are less than 150 If and permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.10 acres and therefore the applicant does not propose wetland or stream mitigation. The proposed project will result in less than 0.10 acres of permanent conversion impacts for construction of the sewer line, and therefore the application is not proposing mitigation. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) v 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules? r Yes r No If no, explain why: The stormwater management plan consists of two wet detention SCMs which provide required TN removal and therefore diffuse flow is not required. 2.

Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement) 3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?* r Yes r No 3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. The proposed project is located within a heavily developed are of Raleigh. There are no additional phased planned or anticipated for the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to be a catalyst for future development that could impact nearby downstream water quality. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) 4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR forth is project?* r Yes r- No r- WA 4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant. City of Raleigh Sanitary Sewer 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?* r Yes r No 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?* r Yes r No 5d. Is another Federal agency involved?* r Yes r No r Unknown 5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8? r Yes r No 5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? WR reviewed the NC Natural Heritage Program database, located at http://www.ncnhp.org/web/nhp/home, as well as NCNHP GIS data to identify if there were any known occurrences of endangered species on or near the proposed project. The review of the NHP data did not identify any recent occurrences of federally listed threatened or endangered species or critical habitat on the subject property or within 1.0 miles of the project, see attached NCNHP project review letter. Furthermore, site reviews did not identify any potential habitat for any federally protected species known to occur in Wake County. Therefore, the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect federally protected species.

Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund easement, or Federally-listed species are documented near the project area.

A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing. (Formerly "C1" candidate species.) BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below. https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/wake.html 1 /2 5/3/2020 Wake County Endangered Species, Threatened Species, and Candidate Species ARS = At Risk Species. Species that are Petitioned, Candidates or Proposed for Listing under the Endangered Species Act. Consultation under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA is not required for Candidate or Proposed species; although a Conference, as described under Section 7(a)(4) of the ESA is recommended for actions affecting species proposed for listing. T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below. EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential). Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land. P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or "PT", respectively. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA)_ In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit http://www.fws.gc! / gratorvbirds/baldeagle.htm Threatened due to similarity of appearance(T(S/A))_ In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T(S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. Definitions of Record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat. Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/wake.html 2/2
