Rhein Interest Inc., we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP 39 for aroad-widening project on Alston Avenue. We are also requesting 4oi- certification from the NC-DWQ. The project consists of replacing an undersized culvert with twin culverts and extending the footprint of the existing culvert in order to accommodate a turn lane that will support residential development. The subject property is approximately 35.11 acres in size and is located at 263i'Alston Avenue (SR i63o), Latitude 35.8593342°N and Longitude 78.9006684°W in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina. Kit Creek runs along the southern property boundary. The site is located in the Cape Fear River Basin. The Hydrologic Unit Code forthis basin is 03030002. The Water Quality Classification is "WS-IV; NSW" and the Stream Index number is:16-4i-i- 17-2-(0.7). Project History Wetlands were delineated by Withers and Ravenel on November 28 and 30, 2005. Site meetings were conducted with the Town of Cary on December 22, 2005 to confirm our riparian buffer evaluation. Data forms are included with the attachments in support of our wetland delineation. Proposed Impacts The proposed impacts consist of 56 linear feet of perennial stream channel and 0.257 acres of wetland impacts for a culvert extension and improvements. Impacts are summarized in the table below as well as in the PCN form. NWP # Impact # Linear Feet SF Acres (Road) Area A (stream) 6 22 0.00 (wetlands) NA 11,186 0.257 Avoidance and Minimization No streams orwetlands will be impacted within the proposed subdivision. In orderto replace the existing culvert and add a turn lane, impacts to the steam channel could not be avoided. „i , c.u(,i, iii MacKenan Drive i Cary, North Carolina 27511 i tel: 919.469.3340 i fax: 919.467.6008 i www.withersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Ave i Suite 101 i Wilmington, North Carolina 28403 i tel: 910.256.9277 i fax: 910.256.1584 Stormwater Management Plan The proposed impervious for this project is expected to be approximately 23.7%, therefore, we do not believe that apre-approved stormwater management plan is required by the NC- DWQ. During construction the applicant will utilize BMP devices to prevent sediment from entering jurisdictional stream channels or wetlands. Mitigation Because impacts to perennial channels are less than i5o linear feet, we do not believe that mitigation should be required for the stream. However, since wetland impacts exceed o.i acre the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, WITHERS & RAVENEL, INC.

Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 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. Afso, 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, imgation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:_ Size of watershed draining to pond: NA VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Expected pond surface area: NA 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 Iayouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the Page 4 of 7 desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. No streams or wetlands will be impacted within the proposed subdivision. In order to replace the existing culvert and add a turn lane, impacts to the steam channel could not be avoided. VIIl. Mitigation DWQ - in accordance with i SA 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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 httpaih2o.enr_state.nc.us.!newetlandsr'strm~ide.htmL Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e_g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because impacts to perennial channels are less than 150 linear feet, we do not believe that mitigation should be required for the stream. The applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy wetland mitigation requirements. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at htt~Uh2o.eiu-.state.nc.ushvrp;index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NF Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N~' Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres}: Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Page 5 of 7 IX.
