2j. Provide a brief description of this project (site plan enclosed): A sanitary sewer line is proposed to service the
southwestern sections of the Highland Creek Subdivision (Phases 2 & 4). Highland Creek Subdivision
(Phases 2 & 4) is currently under construction and was issued a 401 Water Quality Certification and
Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River Buffer Protection Rules on August 20, 2007 (DWQ Project # EXP
05-1882v5)). In addition, approval of the Stormwater Management Plan for Highland Creek Subdivision
(Phases 2 & 4) was issued on July 2, 2007 (DWQ Project # EXP 05-1882v4) Originally the sanitary sewer line
servicing Phases 2 and 4 was to run parallel, from an existing sewer line on the west side of the tributary and
Neuse Buffer, and cross Louisburg Road (SR 401) to the south. It has been determined that the original
location was not feasible due to topographic constraints and the property owner was not willing to allow for
adjustment on the west side of the tributary (See Exhibit A). Therefore we are requesting to locate the sewer
line on the east side of the tributary, tying into an existing sewer line running parallel but outside of the Neuse
Buffer, with a proposed aerial crossing which would run parallel to Louisburg Road then to the south It should
be noted this area is already cleared due to the current widening project of Louisburg Road to a four lane and
is within NCDOT's clearing limits. The sanitary sewer line will terminate at an existing sanitary sewer easement
located south of Louisburg Road. We are requesting Riparian Buffer Approval for impacts associated with
Neuse River Buffers.
2k. Provide directions from the nearest named town, including street names and/or highway numbers: The
proposed sanitary sewer line is located south of the Highland Creek Subdivision at the intersection of
Louisburg Road (SR 401) and Lowell Ridge Road south of the Rolesville Wake County North Carolina

Lia,
On behalf of Pulte Homes (formerly Centex Homes) we are requesting to participate in the Express Review Program for
buffer impacts associated with a gravity sewer line, associated with the Highland Creek subdivision in Rolesville, Wake
County, NC. Originally the sanitary sewer line servicing Phases 2 and 4 was to run parallel, from an existing sewer line,
on the west side of the tributary and Neuse Buffer, and cross Louisburg Road (Hwy 401) to the south. It has been
determined that the original location was not feasible due to topographic constraints and the property owner was not
willing to allow for adjustment on the west side of the tributary (See Exhibit A). Therefore, we are requesting to locate the
sewer line on the east side of the tributary, tying into an existing sewer line, running parallel but outside of the Neuse
Buffer, with a proposed aerial crossing which would run parallel to Louisburg Road, then to the south. It should be noted
this area is already cleared, due to the current widening project of Louisburg Road to a four lane, and is within NCDOT's
clearing limits. The sanitary sewer line will terminate at an existing sanitary sewer easement located south of Louisburg
Road. Attached is the original Neuse Buffer Authorization for the original proposed alignment and the Neuse Buffer
Determination for this area.
Just to make clear, the area of the proposed sewer line has already been cleared through the Neuse Buffer, and I met
Natalie Landry and Scott Cobb with Pulte Homes out on site this past Monday to discuss a possible violation in this area.
Although this area has been cleared and sewer is proposed in this area, it also falls within the already permitted clearing
limits for the US 401 widening in this area which is currently under construction. It would have been a violation if they had
installed the aerial sewer line without a permit, but at this point it is just cleared, (which is exempt under the Neuse Buffer
Rules Table of Uses). It is less than 40 linear feet and a permanent maintenance corridor is not currently established.
That is my case why this is allowable under Express Review. But feel free to cal with any questions.
Thanks,
Kevin
