III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires infonnation to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

Page 2 of 11
Highland Village Apartments are currently under construction. The bio-retention area
(Bioretention Area 3) is currently being used as an erosion and sediment control device (see
attached photos) and will be converted to a bio-retention area once construction is complete.
Construction is complete and residents are living within the buildings of The Commons at
Highland Village and Highland Manor. The remainder of Highland Village is currently
under varying stages of grading and construction. The general land uses in the vicinity of the
project include vacant land (zoned for commercial and multifamily residential), existing
commercial buildings and existing residential homes.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Highland Village is a multi-use residential development including apartment buildings,
condominiums and townhomes. The only parcel containing jurisdictional waters or buffers
is the Highland Village Apartments parcel. The project includes the completion of
construction of the Highland Village Apartments and associated bio-retention area. Heavy
equipment typical for the site preparation and construction of a residential apartment building
complex have and will be used.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
The basic project purpose is the completion of construction of the Highland Village
Apartment complex.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
S&EC was contracted during the project planning stages of the development to conduct a
Jurisdictional Determination for the presence of Waters of the US regulated under Section 404 &
401 of the Clean Water Act and to identify surface waters subject to the Neuse River Buffers.
Ms Amanda Jones of the USACE verified the Jurisdictional Determination (JD) and approved
the JD map in July 2001 (see attached JD and map).
Mr. Charles Brown of the DWQ verified surface waters subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule in
March 2002 (see attached letter). The only surface water determined to be subject to the buffers
within the Highland Village development was approximately 65 feet of an intermittent stream
located near the eastern property boundary (previously depicted with flags 100 to 103. The
stream flowed out of an approximately 110 foot long 12" diameter pipe that drained a wetland
Page 3 of I 1
area north of the pipe (see attached JD map). The stream flows south for approximately 65 feet
and then enters another pipe near the eastern property line. While with the DWQ, I confirmed
Mr. Brown's determination in May 2002 see attached letter).
The Highland Village Apartments site plan was revised in late 2002 and early 2003 to avoid and
minimize impacts to the wetlands streams and buffers. A large retaining wall was used along
the entrance road (Winfred Dell Lane) and on the west side of the bio-retention area to minimize
and avoid impacts to these resources. However, 3 3,928 square feet or approximately 0.09 acres of
wetlands were proposed to be impacted by the revised site plan.
The applicant impacted the 0.09 acres of wetlands in 2005 for the construction of Falcone Drive
Extension and the Highland Village Apartment complex with the understanding that this activity
did not require prior notification to or written authorization from the USACE under Nationwide
Permit No 39 (NWP 39 or DWQ under General Water Quality Certification No. 3402 because
these impacts were less than l/10 acre.
Condition I of NWP 39 requires; "For discharges causing the loss of 11/101 acre or less of
waters of the United States the nermittee must submit a report within 30 days of completion of
the work-, to the District Engineer that contains the following information: (1) The name,
address and telephone number of the nermittee • (2) The location of the work: (3) A description
of the work: (4) The type and acreage o the loss of waters of the United States (e.g.. 1121 acre of
emergent wetlands): and (5)The type and acreage of any compensatory mitigation used to offset
the loss o waters of the United States (e.g. 11121 acre of emergent wetlands created on-site)."
While construction of the apartment complex and bio-retention area is not yet complete, the
discharge of fill to waters has already occurred and as such the applicant is copying the USACE
on this request to act as their report to fulfill their obligations required under Condition I of
NWP39.
The applicant believed that the removal of the existing 110 foot long, 12" diameter pipe and
replacement with a new bypass pipe and discharge pipe from the bio-retention area would be
considered an "exempt" activity under the Neuse Buffer Rule as an "existing use". As such, the
applicant replaced the existing 110 foot long 12" diameter pipe with the new bypass nine and
bio-retention area discharge pipe The applicant later contacted S&EC regarding this activity
and S&EC informed the applicant that they believed the activity was not "exempt" from the
Neuse Buffer Rule.
S&EC believes that the activity could be considered "allowable" as a new stormwater
conveyance through the buffer provided that a stormwater management facility is installed to
control nitrogen and attenuate flow before the conveyance discharges through the riparian buffer.
As such S&EC recommended that the applicant request this "after-the-fact" no practical
alternatives review and Authorization Certificate.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
Page 4 of I I
There are no future pennit requests anticipated for this project.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
Approximately 0.09 acres of wetlands have been impacted by the proposed project. The
proposed project consists of the extension of Falcone Parkway Extension and the construction of
the Highland Village Apartment complex (Please note that the bio-retention area was not
located in an area that previously contained wetlands or other jurisdictional waters.)
This request is only for the "after-the-fact" impacts to the Neuse River Buffers. The
applicant is not requesting authorization for the 0.09 acres of wetland impacts, but is
simply reporting these impacts to the Corps by copy of this buffer request.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam
construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib
walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed,
plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams
must be included. To calculate acreav-e, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560.

* Note: This request is only for the "after-the-fact" impacts to the Neuse River Buffers.
While 0.09 acres of wetlands have been impacted by the construction of Falcone Parkway
Extension and the Highland Village Apartment complex (see attached Impact Map), the
applicant is not requesting authorization for these impacts but is simply notifying the
Corps of these impacts by copy of this request as required under Condition I of NWP39.
7. Isolated Waters
Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No
Page 6 of I 1
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.
8. 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
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
As stated within the Prior Project History section of this application the development plans for
Highland Village were revised to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters and
buffers as much as practical Wetland impacts have been reduced below \1 /10\ acre and buffer
impacts have been avoided except for those associated with the replacement of the pre-existing
110 foot long 12" diameter pipe with the new bypass pipe and bio-retention area discharge pipe.
Retaining walls were inco!Vorated into the design to avoid impacts to wetlands.
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.
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
Page 7 of 11
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
http://12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/stnmgidc.litm].
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.
It is not anticipated that mitigation will be required for the 0.09 acres of wetland impacts that
have already occurred because the impacts are less than 1/10 acre. Also, it is not anticipated
that mitigation will be required for the buffer impacts in that the activity that caused these
impacts is believed to be "allowable" and as such should not require mitigation. It should
also be noted fill slopes were kept outside of Zone l and the only impact to the buffers
occurred to areas previously impacted by the pre-existing 110 foot long 12" diameter pipe.
If it is determined that mitigation is required then the applicant proposes payment into the
NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP).
2. 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
[phone] 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 http://h2o.cnr.state.nc.us/wM/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):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ?
Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ® No ?
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 686 3 (2 for Catawba) 0
2 2,096 1.5 0
Total 2,782 0
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0244, or.0260.
It is not anticipated that mitigation will be required for the buffer impacts in that the activity
that caused these impacts is believed to be "allowable" and as such should not require
Page 9 of I 1
mitigation It should also be noted that fill slopes were kept outside of Zone 1 and the only
impact to the buffers occurred to areas previously impacted by the pre-existing 110 foot long,
12" diameter pipe If it is determined that mitigation is required then the applicant proposes
payment into the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP).
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level.
The Highland Villas Apartment complex exceeds 30% impervious surface. While Condition
No 4 of GC3402 does not apply because written concurrence from the DWQ is not required to
use GC3402 bio-retention areas have been incorporated into the design of the development to
manage and treat stormwater runoff from the development and to comply with Cary's Neuse
River Stormwater requirements.
Please note that a DWQ approved stormwater management plan as described within Condition
No 4 of GC3402 should not be required for this development because written concurrence to use
GC3402 is not required However DWQ review of Bioretention Area 3 is anticipated as it
involves the "allowable" use of directly discharging through the buffer by means of a new
stormwater conveyance Stormwater management plans calculations and a completed DWQ
Worksheet for Bioretention Area 3 have been provided for your review.
All stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces associated with the Highland Village Apartment
complex will be treated by Bioretention Area 3 prior to discharge through the buffer to the
stream Bioretention Area 3 meets the design requirements of the NC DENR Stormwater BMP
Manual.
Bioretention Area 3 will also treat stormwater runoff from other parcels within the Highland
Village development It is12art of an overall stormwater management plan for the Highland
Village development that includes three (3) bioretention areas.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
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.
Highland Village connects to Cary's sanitary sewer system. Cary will ensure that this
connection does not exceed the available capacity of their treatment facility.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No M*
Page 10 of 11
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ® No ?
* Note while this is an "after-the-fact" application for impacts to the Neuse River Buffers,
the DWQ has not notified the applicant of a violation on this property.
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
Highland Village is being developed to meet Cary's housing demand. It is not anticipated that
this project will result in additional development which could impact nearby downstream water
quality.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Request for Appeal of an On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection
Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233)
Dear Mr. Preuninger:
On May 2, 2002, at your request Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff conducted an on-site determination to
review a drainage feature on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse River Buffer Rules [15A NCAC 2B
.0233]. This on-site determination was conducted to review the determination made by Mr. Charles Brown of the DWQ
Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) staff that was provided to you within a letter dated March 26, 2002. As a result of our on-
site detennination the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the drainage feature between flags 103 and
100 (approximately sixty-five (65) feet long, located between two pipes) as approximated on the attached "Preliminary
Wetland Approximation" dated 5/30/01 stamped and initialed by DWQ staff on 5/2/02 is an intermittent stream.
Therefore, the DWQ agrees with Mr. Brown's original determination that the feature is an intermttent stream subject to
the Neuse River Buffer Rules (North Carolina Adnunistrative Code T15A:02B .0233). No other surface waters subject to
the Neuse River Buffer Rules were found to exist upstream of flag 103. The DWQ staff recognizes that the North
Carolina Piedmont (as well as the rest of the State) is currently experiencing drought conditions and are willing to re-
evaluate the stream during a period of normal rainfall at your written request.
The property owner is required to maintain 50-foot buffers along this stream pursuant to the buffer rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233). Ms. Jennifer Burdette of your company asked DWQ staff whether it would be possibly to construct an
extended detention stonnwater wetland or wet detention basin within the intermittent stream and buffers. DWQ staff
informed her that this activity would be reviewed as a "stormwater management pond" under the buffer rules (15A NCAC
2B .0233). DWQ staff informed her that a "wet detention basin" would require that a 50-foot buffer be established
adjacent to the pond. If no buffer was proposed, then DWQ could still approve that activity but it would require
mitigation for the buffer impacts. DWQ staff informed her that an extended detention storntwater wetland would not be
required to have a buffer established adjacent to it and will not require mitigation for the buffer impacts. DWQ staff
informed her that both of these activities will require a no practical alternatives determination by and approval from the
DWQ prior to construction. DWQ staff informed her that any impacts to the stream will need to comply with tile 40 1 and
404 wetland regulations. DWQ staff informed her that the stream would not require stream mitigation impacts under the
DWQ 401 program.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers.
Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State. Any impacts to the

Size and Location of Property (waterbody, Highway name/number, town, etc.): The property is
located on the east side of Old Apex Road (SR 1616), at the intersection with High House Road (SR
1615), in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina.
Basis for Determination: The site contains wetlands with indicators of ordinary high water marks,
located adjacent to an unnamed tributary of Swift Creek, above headwaters, in the Neuse River Basin.
Indicate Whicli of the Following Apply:
There are waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, on the above described property which we strongly suggest
should be delineated and surveyed. The surveyed wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will
make a final jurisdictional determination on your property.
Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your wetlands
cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to obtain a consultant to obtain a more timely
delineation of the wetlands. Once the consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property, Corps staff will
review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for final approval by the
Corps. The Corps will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property without an approved survey.
X The waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of the Corps
jurisdiction have been explained to you. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
-There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described property which are subject to
the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law
or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the
date of this notification.
Placement of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a Department of the
Army Permit is in most cases a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). A
permit is not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If you
have any questions regarding the Corps of Engineers regulatory program, please contact
Amanda D. Jones at telephone number (919) 876 - 8441 extension 30
