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 information 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. 1. Name of project: Cedar Ridge Subdivision Phase II 2. T.LP. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): 3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 1768-07-3234 4. Location County: Wake Nearest Town: Rolesville Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): Cedar Ridge Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): Site is located on Rolesville_R_oad approximately'/4 mile south of downtown Rolesville and US401. 5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.) Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 35.5474 °N 78.2746 °W 6. Property size (acres): 70.07 Acres 7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Harris Creek 8. River Basin: Neuse (Note -this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.) 9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Site is comprised of an existing subdivision (phase 1) adjacent to Rolesville Road and a pond on the east side of Phase I. Harris Creek was determined to be a perennial stream below the pond on Phase I. No subject streams were evident above the pond. Remaining Phase II is mostly wooded with Page 2 of 10 one pond, Harris Creek, and its tributaries. Adjacent land uses include residential, forested and agricultural areas. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Three road crossings are proposed to access upland areas at the rear of the property and provide connectivity to the northern parcel. All lots to have county water and sewer. Equipment to be used includes cranes, trackhoes, bulldozers, and other land grading equipment. Western Virginia Water Drive: A 74-feet Con-Span Bridge Bottomless Arched Culvert will be utilized for this stream crossing. The 25-foot (span) x 10-foot (rise) with headwalls will maximize daylight penetration for maximum vegetation success along with no stream disturbance. Temporary stream impacts will "not" be needed since installation can be accomplished from both sides. QORE Property Sciences conducted a geologic study of the stream area. Please refer to the April 12, 2007 Subsurface Details. As shown in the Depth to Refusal Probe Data, bedrock was within 2.3-feet of the stream bed. Please refer to Sheet 19 for details. Eastern Virginia Water Drive: A 74-foot 42-inch RCP is proposed for this crossing_ Please refer to Sheet 19 for details. As shown in Cross Section Detail the culvert will be buried 10-inches. We were able to minimize stream & buffer impacts by utilizing keystone retaining walls. Irina Drive: A 75-feet Con-Span Bridge Bottomless Arched Culvert will be utilized for this stream crossing. Please refer to Sheet 25 for details. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The proposed impacts to the stream buffer area will be necessary to complete the subdivision, thus sustaining the development of the proposed residential area. Extending Virginia Water Drive across Harris Creek and its tributary will also provide connectivity to the adjacent parcels and existing neighborhoods. 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. December 6, 2006: Keller Environmental (KE), on behalf of Mr. Robert Polanco, submitted a PCN application to the US Army Corps of Engineers and NC Division of Water Quality. January 16, 2007 Conducted an on-site stream determination with DWQ staff Lia Myott and Dr. Cynthia Van Der Wiele. Page 3 of 10 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. None. 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: Eastern Virginia Water Drive: The stream crossing will involve 74-feet of a single 42-inch diameter RCP. To facilitate aquatic passage, 10-inches of the RCP will be buried. Please refer to Sheet 19 for details. Irina Drive: The stream crossing will involve a 75-feet Con-Span Bridge Bottomless Arched Culvert. Please refer to Sheet 25 for details. 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, senarately list impacts due to hnth structure and flnndin~. Wetland Impact Type of Wetland Located within Distance to Area of Site Number Type of Impact (e.g., forested, marsh, 100-year Floodplain Nearest Stream Impact (acres) (indicate on map) herbaceous, bog, etc.) (yes/no) (linear feet) None Total Wetland Impact (acres) 0 3. List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: 2 Acres 4. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary 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 acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560. Page 4 of 10 Stream Impact Perennial or Average Impact Area of Number Stream Name T e of Im act yp p Intermittent?

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. 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: Page 5 of 10 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. The proposed Virginia Water Drive Extension crossings were strategically placed to connect with the subdivision to the west and the large upland area between it and Phase I. The Irina Drive Extension will provide access to the upland areas to the area north of Harris Creek. The crossings were also placed perpendicular in fairly linear stream corridors. A Con-Span bottomless arched culvert (CSBAC) will be utilized on the Western Virginia Water Drive Crossing. This area contained geologically suitable streams to avoid stream impacts. The Irina Drive CSBAC is 75 linear feet and the 12-foot span will clearly span the entire 6-feet wide stream bed and bank Also it was evident during our January 16, 2006 site visit that the crossing area appeared to be a historic stream crossing for agriculture and silvaculture activities Our perennial stream determination was conducted within and immediately upstream of the proposed crossing area. The eastern Virginia Water Drive 42-inch RCP is 74 linear feet and the RCP will be buried 10-inches to facilitate aquatic passage During our perennial stream determination we entered the subject riparian corridor from the existing Virginia Water Drive end of pavement and walked upstream via the existing sewer line on the west side to the existing pond and sewer crossing area. It was evident during our analysis that the stream in the proposed crossing area is slightly incised. The western Virginia Water Drive CSBAC will span 74-feet. This crossing area is also being utilized for utilities (i a sewer etc.) to avoid additional impacts. Similar to the aforementioned culverts and evident on the Overall Site Plan this stream crossing is being placed in a fairly linear stream section. It will provide connectivity to the existing Virginia Water Drive and the Village of Rolesville (Phase II) Subdivision on the west side As shown in the geologic report bedrock is within 2.3 feet of the stream bed. The wide spans will be placed by using a crane and bridge footings will be placed outside of the stream banks Since all of the proposed crossing areas have direct road access temporary impacts to the streams will also be avoided. This proposed Phase (II) of Cedar Ridge will also use an existing sewer line that parallels Harris Creek and the two ponds. During initial construction of Phase II, a sanitary sewer line will be installed near and parallel to the southern property line. As mentioned in the previous paragraph this new sewer line will utilize the Virginia Water Drive CSBAC area to pain access to the existing sewer line on the west side of Harris Creek. Page 6 of 10 Also evident on the Site Plan there will be minimal grading conducted on the residential lots throughout this phase This should maximize nutrient removal through the grassed and landscaped areas. 15 78 Acres will be permanently preserved along Harris Creek and its tributaries. This includes the large pond at the rear of lots 72-88. Moreover, areas adjacent to the stream crossings will be in the dedicated open space area. This will prevent homes from encroaching into the riparian buffer areas. Examples include areas west of Lots 103 & 118. 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 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 htt~//h2o enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.html. 1. 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. The proposed project should not be required to provide mitigation for the proposed impacts This is due the efforts of the developer's team to avoid jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent possible As shown in the attached Engineering Plans, the properties adjacent to the stream will not encroach into the vegetated buffers to protect open waters along Harris Creek and its tributaries. Moreover, areas adjacent to the stream crossings will be in the dedicated open space area. This will prevent Page 7 of 10 homes from encroaching into the riparian buffer areas. Examples include areas west of Lots 103 & 118. 15.78 Acres will be permanently preserved along Harris Creek and its tributaries. This includes the large pond at the rear of lots 72-88. 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 (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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/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): n/a Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): n/a Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): n/a Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): n/a Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): n/a IX.

LEVI=L SPREADER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT The level spreader is defined as an elongated, level threshold, designed to diffuse stormwater runoff. Maintenance activities shah be pertormed as follows: 1. After construction and until vegetation has been established, level spreader(s) shall be inspected after every rainfall. Thereafter, level spreader(s) shall be inspected at least every month and more frequently during the fall season and after heavy rainfall events: a. Accumulated sediment, leaves, and trash shall be removed, and repairs made if required. b. Lnspect level spreader(s) for evidence of scour, undercutting, settlement of the structure, and concentrated flows downhill from the level spreader(s). , e. A level elevation shall be maintained across the entire flow-spreading structure at all times. Repair or replace the level spreader if it is damaged. d. Mow vegetative cover to a height of six (fi) inches and prune plants if they cover over half of the level spreader surface. e. Repair eroded areas and replace/replant dead or damaged vegetation. 2. The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on and prevent construction traffic across the structure. If the measure is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be repaired immediately. 3. Inspect and repair the collection system (e.g., catch basins, pipes, swales, riprap} four (4) times a year to maintain proper functioning, acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the maintenance procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any changes to the system or responsible party.

The proposed Neuse River basin riparian buffer (NRBRB) impacts are subject to 15A NCAC 02B .0233. Impacts associated with this project include 22,800 square feet of Zone 1 and 15,200 square feet of Zone 2 NRBRB areas. Please find attached a revised application and supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the activities proposed below may precede utilizing Nationwide Permit 39. We have addressed your included written comments in the following paragraphs. 1. Buffer mitigation is required for the 150 linear foot crossing at western Virginia Water Drive. Buffer mitigation is required for all road crossings that impact 150 linear feet of riparian buffer or more. Please submit a mitigation plan detailing the amount of buffer impact at this crossing and how the impact will be mitigated. Please refer to the attached western Virginia Water Drive Plan and Profile Details. The Con Span road crossing will span 134 and 140 linear feet of valley and stream lengths, respectively. Buffer mitigation should not be required for this crossing. 2. The geotechnical report provided in your application shows that bottomless culvert structures (Con-Span) are appropriate only at Boring No. B-2, the northernmost crossing. Please submit a revised application detailing the crossing structures, i.e. bridges, or culverts for the remaining proposed crossings. ..., Neuse R. Buffer Rules Re-Submittal Cedar Ridge Subdivision March 1, 2007 Page 2 of 2 Please refer to the revised profile views of the Virginia Water Drive Stream Crossings. The profile views assist in showing the boring locations in relation to the elevations of the creek bed, footers, and bedrock. Boring B-3 is located at the western Virginia Water Drive crossing. Since the elevations to bedrock and the footers were ± 327 and ± 323.50-feet respectively, the 3.5- feetdifferential is conducive to a bottomless culvert. The eastern Virginia Water Drive crossing has been converted to a single 60-inch RCP with headwall. To facilitate aquatic passage, 30-inches of the RCP will be buried.
