D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation for the entire t 750 acre property that
these roads will transect, in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided/minimized to the
maximum extent practicable. Impact Area #1 was shifted and medians modified in order to avoid impacts to stream
(i.e. wetlands only); Impact Areas #2, 3 & 4 were all adjusted to impact the north side of the existing road only,
therefore avoiding greater impacts to important/perennial stream and riparian buffers on the south side of the
existing road: Impact Area # 5 has been designed with headwalls and wing walls to minimize culvert length and fill
slopes, ultimately to minimize impacts to streams and riparian buffers the maximum extent practicable; Impact
Areas #6, 7, 8 & 9 are all bypass channels for the proposed level spreaders in order to meet the diffuse flow
requirements.
Furthermore, the applicant is aware of the regional conditions associated with the Nationwide Permits 14. With
respect to linear transportation crossings conditions (Regional Conditions section 4.0) the applicant does not
anticipate any stream relocations; all culverts have been sized appropriately in order to accommodate bank-full
flows and will be buried the appropriate depth below the streambed to allow for aquatic life passage; and this project
is not being used in conjunction with a NWP 18 to create an upland area.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Erosion & Sediment Control plan will require measures to protect water quality during construction activities.

4h. Comments: Because proposed permanent impacts are below 1/10 acre of jurisdictional wetlands and below 150
linear feet of important/perennial per road crossing, the applicant is not proposing compensatory mitigation. If however,
after review of this application the USACE/NCDWQ determines mitigation is required, the applicant will utilize a private
mitigation bank or the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) for any mitigation requirements.

additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
3b. If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the
most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "DRAFT Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and
Isolated Wetland Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on October 3, 2002, version
1.6. While the proposed project is considered both a "small-scale widening", low potential for cumulative impacts
and "road on a new location" which has the potential for growth-stimulating effects, the project is located within the
Wake Forest ETJ and the Smith Creek Watershed (Wake Forest Reservoir). Therefore the adjacent properties that
have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Water
Supply, Watershed Protection Program which limits development densities as well as requires protective riparian
buffers; 2) the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited
development within the riparian buffer area in addition to "diffuse flow"requirements at a minimum and could
require Best Management Practices that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved; 3) the Phase II NPDES
Stormwater Permit Program, this program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems (MS4s) in addition to post-construction stormwater management requirements; and finally 4) the Neuse
River Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy requirements required by the Town of Wake Forest.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement)
4a. 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.

5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
? Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
The NC-Natural Heritage Programs Virtual Workroom was used to search for elemental occurrences of state and
federally protected species in the vicinity of the project. It was determined based on the search that an elemental
occurrence of the natural community Mesic mixed hardwood forest (piedmont subtype) was identified
approximately 1.5 miles east of the eastern project site. The search revealed that there is no State or Federally
listed Threatened or Endangered species near the project. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Critical Habitat
Portal website was used to confirm that designated critical habitat does not exist near the site.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ? Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
NOAA Essential Fish Habitat Mapper http://sharpfin.nmfs.noaa.gov/website/EFH Mapper/map.aspx
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation El Yes No
®
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
Records checks at the State Historic Preservation Office or the Office of State Archeology were not performed. No
structures, other than the existing home at the intersection of Gilcrest Farm Rd. and Oak Grove Church Rd., were
observed during the wetland evaluation. A letter has been sent to the State Historic Preservation Office requesting
concerns with regard to any historical structures or significant archeological sites within the proposed project boundaries.
The project will be constructed on vacant land, but is within the Town of Wake Forest ETJ which has several historic
properties and a historic district. However the properties are not adjacent to or near the project.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? ® Yes ? No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements: A LOMR (Letter of Map Revision) is required from FEMA. The
culverts have been sized to pass the required storm event without impacting the road.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? NC Floodplain Mapping Program

Re: Neuse River Riparian Buffer Confirmation
Reservoir Tract (Hermitage Site); S&EC, Inc. Project 9 99-4715
Smith Creek [03-04-02; 27-23-(1 & 1.5)]
Dear Mr. Clark,
Per your request, on May 25, 2000,1 met with you at the subject property located on the northeast,
northwest and southern comers of the intersection of SR1942 and SR1943 and north and east of the Town
of Wake Forest Reservoir (Smith Creek), Wake County. The purpose of this meeting was to determine the
applicability of stream features located on the property to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Protection
Regulations (I SA NCAC 2B .0233). This meeting was the final of a total of three applicability meetings
conducted on the subject property. The first two meetings where conducted with Mr. Todd St.John, 401
Certification Unit, on 3127/00 and Mr. Charles Brown, Raleigh Regional Office, on 4/28/00.
As a result of these meetings, it was determined that the features indicated on the attached "Reservoir Tract
/ Project 4 99-4715, Preliminary Wetland Approximation" map received by this office 617100 and initialed
by me on 6/14/00 are subject to 15A NCAC 2B .0233. The map indicates streams, including the
approximate location of the start of several intermittent streams, subject to the buffer regulations as
confirmed and flagged in the field on 3/27/00, 4/28/00 and 5125100. This office recommends that these
streams be properly located and identified prior to any site design to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC
2B .0233.
This letter only addresses the applicability of 15A NCAC 2B .0233(3) and does not authorize any activity
within the protected buffers. Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this office can be of any
assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 733.9726 or Mr. Steve
Mitchell at 5714700. -
Sincerely,
vtronmental Specialist 1401 Certification Unit
