Reference: Pre-Construction Notification
For Bailey's Creek Subdivision (proposed) MAR 2 2010
Wake County, North Carolina
DENR • WATER QuAUTy
Dear Shearn VYETUWDS AND STOR?fWATFA KWU
,
A Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) has been prepared for the above referenced
property, located at the termination of Anita Way, Wake County, North Carolina. The
residential subdivision plan proposes to impact 0.03 acre of non-riparian wetland for
construction of a dry pond. It appears this impact is allowed under Nationwide Permit 18. In
addition, the plan proposes to impact protected riparian buffers located in the Neuse River basin,
for which approval is sought from the NC Division of Water Quality. In total, the plan would
impact 0.03 acre of the Zone 1 buffer and 0.06 acre of the Zone 2 buffer.
A jurisdictional determination (JD) has not yet been made by the US Army Corps of
Engineers for this project. A JD report is attached to the PCN that contains a map of the
delineated wetlands and streams and supporting documentation.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Krissina B. Newcomb

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed sewer line (impact 131) was sited perpendicular to Black Creek, and connects to the existing sewer line at a
point where it is close to the creek, therefore minimizing the buffer impact. An aerial crossing is proposed to avoid stream
impacts.
The hiking trail has been designed to meet the existing hiking trail at a point where it is close to the outer edge of the Zone 2
buffer, therefore minimizing buffer impacts.
Topography is steep and rolling, making grading and revegetation of the Zone 2 buffer necessary for installation of stormwater
devices and building pads for lots. This should provide added stability to the slope to reduce erosion.
Lots have been designed so as not to contain wetlands or riparian buffers to prevent impacts.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
A tree protection fence shall be installed at the lot clearance line and shall be maintained until all site work is completed.
Silt fence shall be installed around stormwater wetlands and dry detention ponds.

2c. If this project DOES NOT require a Stormwater Management Plan, explain why:
2d. If this project DOES require a Stormwater Management Plan, then provide a brief, narrative description of the plan:
Stormwater management for this site is accomplished by routing as much of the stormwater through stormwater wetlands
and dry retention basins as possible. There are two pairs of such, one located on each side of the project. The
stormwater wetlands are used primarily to reduce the nitrogen and phosporus output of the project. The dry retention
basins are used primarily to reduce the peak flow rate of stormwater from the project to comply with local requirements.
They do, however, provide some minor reductions in the nitrogen and phosporus outputs from the site.

Reference: Request for Jurisdictional Determination
Bailey's Creek Subdivision (proposed)
Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Shearn
A wetland and stream delineation has been conducted for the above referenced property,
which is located at the termination of Anita Way, -unship, Wake County, North Carolina. All
wetland determinations were made in accordance with the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual. The property perimeter was walked and several traverses were
conducted across the interior of the subject site. An area that meets the required criteria for
wetlands was observed and delineated, as shown in Figure 1, and two streams were identified. A
set of Wetland Determination Forms and a Jurisdictional Determination (JD) Form have been
completed and are enclosed for your use. Additional supporting documentation collected and
included in this report:
• Agent Authorization, signed by owner
• Vicinity Map (Figure 2)
• Wake County GIS map showing property boundaries and aerial photography (Figure 3)
• Map from NC Floodplain Mapping Information Systems (Figure 4)
• USGS 7.5 Minute topographic map, Cary Quadrangle (Figure 5)
• NRCS Soil Survey map (Figure 6)
• USFWS National Wetland Inventory map (Figure 7)
• Photographs taken at site (Figure 8)
I trust that this provides all the information that you require to approve the jurisdictional
determination. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to
contact me at your convenience.

APPROVED JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION FORM
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
This form should be completed by following the instructions provided in Section IV of the JD Form Instructional Guidebook.
SECTION I: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. REPORT COMPLETION DATE FOR APPROVED JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD):
B. DISTRICT OFFICE, FILE NAME, AND NUMBER:
C. PROJECT LOCATION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The site is located at 160 Anita Way, adjacent to Evans
Subdivision off of Evans Road, Cary NC. An unnamed tributary to Crabtree Creek crosses the southeastern corner of the property and
another unnamed tributary to Crabtree Creek crosses the northwestern corner.
State:NC County/parish/borough: Wake City: Cary
Center coordinates of site (]at/long in degree decimal format): Lat. 35.80819° N. Long. 78.78916` W.
Universal Transverse Mercator:
Name of nearest waterbody: UT to Crabtree Creek
Name of nearest Traditional Navigable Water (TNW) into which the aquatic resource flows: Neuse
Name of watershed or Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC): Upper Neuse (03020201)
Check if map/diagram of review area and/or potential jurisdictional areas is/are available upon request.
? Check if other sites (e.g., offsite mitigation sites, disposal sites, etc...) are associated with this action and are recorded on a
different JD form.
D. REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):
? Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
? Field Determination. Date(s):
SECTION II: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
A. RHA SECTION 10 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There A re no "navigable waters of the U.S." within Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 329) in the
review area. [Required]
? Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
? Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
Explain:
B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There?Are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required]
1. Waters of the U.S.
a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply):
? TNWs, including territorial seas
Wetlands adjacent to TNWs
Z Relatively permanent waters2 (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
® Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
? Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Impoundments of jurisdictional waters
? Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands
b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area:
Non-wetland waters: 1001inear feet: 10 width (ft) and/or acres.
Wetlands: 0.06 acres.
c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: 1987 Delineation Manual
Elevation of established OHWM (if known):
2. Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable) :3
Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section IILB below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbodya is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below.
1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW
(i) General Area Conditions:
Watershed size: 50 acres
Drainage area: 480 acres
Average annual rainfall: 46.07 inches
Average annual snowfall: 3.9 inches
(ii) Physical Characteristics:
(a) Relationship with TNW:

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
I. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section III.D: Wetland is located on floodplain of perennial stream. A pipe under the walkway provides a hydrologic connection
between the wetland and stream and would allow the transfer of chemical and biological material..
