The permit application and application fee was originally submitted to DWQ on January 28, 2011. The project was placed on hold due to a change in the location of the driveway. Per a conservation and email from Linda Wiggs, the project could be placed on hold until April 15, 2011 without repaying the application fee. The impact will consist of fill and a culvert with dissipation for a driveway (NWP 39). The total impact to the stream is 75 If. Brushy Mountain Builders plans to develop the site as restaurant and/or retail space. Chick-fil-a is purchasing the northern parcel and plans to develop it once the proposed driveway is constructed. The new driveway access is necessary for two reasons. The primary reason is Chick-fil-a is requiring the new entrance from Highway 321 as part of the condition of the sale of the property. They do not want the traffic that will be going to the other parcel to the south of the new driveway once it is developed through their property and have made the new driveway a condition of the sale. The second reason is the City of Lenoir will not allow the use of Woodland Drive as a primary access to the site (see enclosed letter from City of Lenoir). One copy of the permit application has been submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me via email (rdydula(Mouisberger.com) or by phone at (919) 866-4410. Sincerely, The Louis Berger Group, Inc.

BARLOW CRY COUNCIL J. L. GIBBONS T H. PERDUE M. F. PERRY H. L. PRICE T. J. ROHR D. F. STEVENS R. R. STILWELL The City of Lenoir is in receipt of the driveway plans for the above property. The plans indicate the use of an existing driveway access to US Highway 321 adjacent to Blowing Rock Boulevard, a second "right-in/right-out" access to US 321 to be located between the existing access and Hospital Avenue, and a proposed access to Woodland Street NW. The purpose of this letter is to document that approval of the plan as submitted is conditioned upon the creation of the second access to US Highway 321. The proposed Woodland Street access cannot serve as a primary point of ingress and egress as this would generate unsafe traffic volumes at the intersection of Woodland Street and Hospital Avenue. 2168.

The following is the minimum list of plans that are typically needed. ® Pre-construction/Pre-existing conditions - This sheet (or sheets) must include: • All jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, State regulated buffers (delineated into Zones 1 and 2) • Topographic contours with elevations • Any existing structures and impervious areas • Existing utility lines and easements • Existing roads, culverts, and other pertinent features • North arrow and the scale (1":50' scale is recommended). ® Proposed conditions - This sheet (or sheets) must include: • All jurisdictional and non jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, State regulated buffers (delineated into Zones 1 and 2) • Lot layout (if a subdivision or commercial development is proposed) - lots must be developable without further impacts to jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetlands streams, water features, and State regulated buffers. Building envelopes must be provided when streams, wetlands, riparian buffers, or water features exist on a lot • All built-out structures and impervious cover • Final grading contours with elevations • All utilities and easements (including septic fields on all lots within 100 feet of stream, wetland, or water features - if applicable) • Impacted areas - these should correspond with the Impact numbers listed on your PCN form. ® Drainage Plans - Final drainage plans must include the following: • Locations and pertinent elevations and sizes of the stormwater collection system and drainage ways • All inlets and outlets must also be shown with pertinent elevations (All outlets to wetlands must be at a non-erosive velocity, generally less than 2 ft/sec during the peak flow from the 10-vr storm) • Scaled stormwater BMPs must also be indicated as required by DWQ rules and policies • In certain cases (see Section E of PCN form), final stormwater management plans must also be provided (see Stormwater Management Plan Checklist) ® Proposed Impacts - All impacts to jurisdictional and non jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be shown and labeled on the site plans at a scale no smaller than 1" = 50'. All excavation, fill, flooding, stabilization, and other impacts that will be conducted in or near jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be indicated. Please provide cross sectional details showing the provisions for aquatic life passage (burial of culvert 20% for culverts <_ 48 inches, and 1-foot for culverts > 48 inches). Version 1.4 January 9, 2009 N/A Wetland Impacts: ? Precise grading and final elevation contours must be provided. Existing vegetation and any clearing must be specified. ? All subsurface utility lines must indicate the location of anti-seep collars. Construction detail for anti-seep collars must be provided. ? Roadway or other crossings of riparian wetlands may require floodway culverts to maintain existing hydrological conditions. ? Plans should show that the hydrology of remaining wetlands on the site will be maintained. Stream Impacts: ® Stream impacts must be clearly shown on the plans. The centerline as well as the banks of the stream must be surveyed or located by GPS for the portion of the stream to be impacted. ® The inlet and the outlet of all culverts should be aligned with the stream as much as possible. Inlet and outlet elevations and streambed elevations should be indicated. Any inlet or outlet protection must be shown and enumerated on the impact map(s). N/A ? For bottomless culverts or other spans, a vertical cross section should be provided that shows the minimum distance from each span to each stream bank, the stream cross section, the height of the span above the stream and the minimum distance from the edge of each footer to each stream bank. Additionally, please provide a signed and sealed geotechnical report of subsurface soils at the proposed bottomless culvert location. The report must comply with the Division of Highways - Guidelines for Drainage Studies and Hydraulic Design, prepared by A.L. Hankins, Jr., State Hydraulics Engineer - 1999. N/A ? Multiple culverts or sectioned box culverts typically require the use of sills, off- setting or other means to match the cross section of the existing stream (in order to maintain stream stability and provide aquatic life passage). A vertical cross section of the culverts should be shown overlain with the up and downstream stream cross section including the stream flood-prone area. N/A ? Impacts associated with dam construction must indicate and enumerate all fill associated with the dam footprint, spillway and any bank stream bank stabilization.
