NC 42 will be widened to include the left and right turn lanes for the newly constructed Judd Parkway. ENG FORM 4345, SEPT 2009 EDITION OF OCT 2004 IS OBSOLETE Proponent CECW-OR 18. Nature of Activity (Daserpuon of praiect, ixlu le all features) The project is a 2,400 linear foot roadway extension which would consist of a two lane curb and gutter cross section with four foot bicycle lanes on each side. The proposed typical section will measure 48 feet face of curb to face of curb. The project will begin at the existing stub of Judd Parkway near Hunters Ridge Road and continue in a north/northwest direction ending at NC 42 just east of Cameron Wood Drive. In addition, NC 42 will be widened near the project terminus to include left and right tum lanes onto the newly constructed Judd Parkway. Construction of the roadway will result in the unavoidable loss of 0.93 acres of wetland and 245 linear feet of jurisdictional stream. The project will also result in the temporary placement of fill into 0.34 acres of riparian wetland. A detailed description of the project is provided in Section 1.3 of the attached permit application support document 19. ProjectPurpose Mesume vw reason or purpose of o* pmiad, see wwucWm) The basic purpose for the proposed activity is to create a system linkage to the proposed Judd Parkway loop road circumscribing the town of Fuquay-Varina. As part of the Town's Master Plan, the SW Judd connector road will join the existing stub portion of Judd Parkway near Hunters Ridge Road with NC 42 near Cameron Wood Drive. A more complete description of the project purpose is provided in Section 2.0 of the attached permit application support document. USE BLOCKS 20.23 IF DREDGED AND/OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED 20. Reason(s) for Discharge The discharge of fill, including earthen material and riprap, and excavation within jurisdictional areas is required for the construction of the proposed roadway. The roadway alignment was designed to minimize impacts to the stream and wetlands while avoiding locations of existing residences as much as possible. It was not possible to avoid the stream and wetlands completely due to the locations of existing residential neighborhoods, allowable railroad crossing locations, and necessary connection points to existing roads. The proposed site plan represents the least damaging practicable alternative. Additionally, mitigation will be provided to offset the proposed impact to wetlands and streams. Additional information, including an alternatives analysis, and measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts, have been inlcuded in Section 5.0 of the attached permit applicaiton support document. 21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type in Cubic Yards: Type Earthen material and rip rap Type Type Amount in Cubic Yards Total acreage of wetland and Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards stream impacted by fill is approximately 11,400 c.y. Maximum berm height of 12 feet. 22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see Insaud ions) Acres The project will result in the permanent placement of fill into 0.93 acres of riparian wetland and approximately 245 Or linear feet of jurisdictional stream. The project will also result in the temporary placement of fill into 0.34 acres of Liner Feet riparian wetland. A detailed description of the proposed impacts is included in 1.3 of the attached permit application support document. 23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions) The selected alignment shifted SW Judd Parkway west to avoid more of the stream and wetland impacts. Fill slopes were minimized from 3:1 to 2.5:1 to reduce the impacts of fill. the 72" RCP crosepipe carrying the stream under SW Judd Parkway was flanked with 2-42" RCP floodplain pipes to allow additional flow area, provide equilibrium between the wetlands and allow for animal movement. Additionally, sediment and erosion control measure that were intially proposed for low portions of the roadway were moved upslope to avoid impacts to streams and wetlands. Project plans were revised to eliminate impacts to the stream at the NC 42 crossing by utilizing a jersey barrier on top of the culvert (see Figure 10). 24, Is Any Portion of the Work Already Complete?

Applicant: Town of Fuquay-Varina Attn: Tracy Stephenson 401 Old Honeycutt Road Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526 Date of Application: March 30, 2011 Location: The project begins at the existing stub of Judd Parkway near Hunters Ridge Road and continues in a north, northwest direction, ending at NC 42 just cast of Cameron Wood Drive, a distance of approximately 2,400 linear feet. In addition, NC 42 will be widened to include left and right turn lanes onto the newly constructed Judd Parkway. Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the center of the site are 35.58171' N, 78.81412° W. The project corridor contains one unnamed tributary and one wetland that drains south into the Kenneth Creek, a tributary to the Cape Fear River. Existing Site Conditions: The project corridor consists of approximately 7.8 acres. Land use along the corridor includes mixed -hardwood forested areas along the southern portion of the corridor and residential and commercial properties at the proposed NC 42 interchange in the northern portion. The Norfolk Southern Railroad transects the corridor perpendicular at the center of the project corridor. Areas surrounding the project are primarily residential. The corridor contains one tributary totaling 329 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel, as well as one wetland area totaling 1.30 acres in size. Applicant's Stated Purpose: The purpose of the project is to connect an existing segment of Judd Parkway located near Hunters Ridge Road to NC 42 West to handle increased traffic through the town and reduce traffic congestion. The project is included in the Town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan and the town has adequate funding to build the project. Project Description: The project is a 2,400 linear foot roadway extension which would consist of a two lane curb and gutter cross section with four foot bicycle lanes on each side. The proposed typical section will measure 32'to 48' face of curb to face of curb. The project will begin at the existing stub of Judd Parkway near Hunters Ridge road and continue in a north/northwest direction ending at NC 42 east of Cameron Wood Drive. In addition, NC 42 will be widened near the project terminus to include left and right turn lanes onto the newly constructed Judd Parkway. Construction of the project will result in the unavoidable loss of 0.93 acres of jurisdictional wetland and 245 linear feet of jurisdictional stream. The project will also result in the temporary placement of fill into 0.34 acres of jurisdictional wetland. Impact 1 includes 0.93 acres of jurisdictional wetland and 245 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel which will result from the placement of fill for the proposed roadway. Each proposed jurisdictional impact is detailed in the following table: Stream and Wetland Impacts and Mitigation The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to 0.93 acres of wetlands and 245 linear feet of stream associated with the project by providing payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) sufficient for the restoration of 1.86 acres (a 2:1 ratio) within the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030004). An acceptance form from NCEEP is included in Appendix G. The stream channel that will be impacted by the proposed project is an unnamed tributary to Kenneth Creek, which flows to the Cape Fear River. This is a perennial channel that received a rating of 39.5 on the NCDWQ Stream Rating Form. Photographs of this stream are included in Appendix B. Required Authorizations: Other required authorizations to be obtained prior to construction of the proposed work include an Individual 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ), NCDOT Encroachment Agreement, and a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit by the Division of Land Resources (DLR). Essential Fish Habitat (EFH): Based upon the location of the project, Essential fish Habitat will not be impacted. Cultural Resources: Based upon a review of the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places at the State Historic Preservation Office (03/02/11), no registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, are located within the project area or will be affected by the proposed work. In addition, no archaeological features will be impacted or affected by the proposed work (direct communication, Susan Myers, N.C. State Archaeologist, 03/02/11). Endangered Species: Based upon consultation of the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Database (accessed 02/28/2011) and pedestrian field surveys, no threatened or endangered species are known to be located in the immediate area of the proposed project.

The project will begin at the existing stub of Judd Parkway near Hunters Ridge Road and continue in a north, northwest direction, ending at NC 42 just east of Cameron Wood Drive, a distance of approximately 2,400 linear feet. In addition, NC 42 will be widened near the project terminus to include left and right turn lanes onto the newly constructed Judd Parkway. Coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the center of the site are 35.58171° N, 78.81412° W. The project corridor contains one unnamed tributary and one wetland that drains south into the Kenneth Creek downstream from the corridor. Kenneth Creek is a tributary to the Cape Fear River which ultimately flows to the Atlantic Ocean. Figure 1 (Vicinity Map) and Figure 2 (USGS Topographic Map) show the project location. 1.2 Existing Site Conditions The project corridor is approximately 7.8 acres in size. Land use includes mixed -hardwood forested areas in the southern portion of the corridor and residential and commercial properties at the proposed NC 42 intersection in the northern portion. The Norfolk Southern Railroad transects the corridor perpendicular at the center of the project corridor. The corridor contains one unnamed tributary totaling 329 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel, as well as one wetland area totaling 1.30 acres in size. Both the stream and wetland drain to Kenneth Creek, a tributary of the Cape Fear River. Figure 4 shows an aerial photograph of the project corridor and on-site photographs are included in Appendix C. 1.2.1 Land Use Land use includes mixed -hardwood forested areas along the southern portion and residential and commercial properties at the proposed NC 42 intersection in the northern portion. The Norfolk Southern Railroad transects the corridor perpendicular near the center of the proposed realignment. Lands surrounding the project corridor primarily consist of residential subdivisions, agricultural and fallow agricultural fields, and undeveloped forested areas. 1.2.2 Topography The project is located in the Raleigh Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Region and has relatively low, rolling hills underlain by granite, gneiss, and schist rock. The topography of the project varies from a high elevation of approximately 400 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at the northernmost portion of the project corridor to 360 MSL at the southernmost portion of the project. The proposed corridor is located in the Cape Fear drainage basin (DWQ sub -basin 03-06-07). One unnamed tributary to Kenneth Creek is located in the project corridor. 1.2.3 Streams and Wetlands Figure 4 shows the delineated jurisdictional areas within the project corridor evaluated by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) staff and reviewed by US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) representative Jamie Sherri on February 10, 2011. The project corridor contains 1.30 acres of jurisdictional wetland and 329 linear feet of jurisdictional stream. USACE wetland data forms and NCDWQ Stream Rating Forms are included in Appendix B. The stream is a perennial, unnamed tributary to Kenneth Creek. The stream received a NCDWQ classification rating of 39.5. This channel originates to the north of the project and flows south confluencing with Kenneth Creek approximately 800 feet to the south of the project. The stream enters the project corridor through a culvert underneath NC 42 and flows south. The total length of Stream 1 within the project area is approximately 329 linear feet. Photographs of this system are included in Appendix C. One wetland area was identified and flagged on the project corridor. This wetland feature is approximately 1.30 acres in size, and transects the center quadrant of the project corridor. The wetland is a forested, bottomland riparian wetland system along both sides of the UT to Kenneth Creek, described above. The wetland area to be impacted flows south towards Kenneth Creek. Functions provided by this wetland include retention of stormwater, flood storage, filtration of sediment, nutrient sequestration, stream bank stabilization, and providing habitat for a variety of animal and plant species. Mitigation proposed for the impacts to this system are at a 2:1 ratio. 1.2.4 Soils Based on information obtained in the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for Wake County (1970), the soils within the project area are composed of eight soil series. Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of each soil series in the project area. Table 1. Soils in the study area 2 Mapping Hydric Soil Series Unit Drainage Class Status Appling sandy loam ApC Well -drained Non -hydric Goldsboro sandy Moderately well loam Go drained Hydric Made land Ma NA Non -hydric Norfolk loamy sand Nol32 Well -drained Hydric Rains fine sandy loam Ra Poorly drained Hydric 2 The soil located within the drainageway of Stream 1 and its associated wetland is classified as Wehadkee and Bibb soil. This nearly level, poorly drained soil is commonly located within the floodplain areas of streams. 1.2.5 Vegetation Vegetation along the corridor includes mixed -hardwood forested areas. The wetland area is a riparian forested system dominated by blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), sweetgu111 (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron lulipifera), and red maple (Acer mbrum). Upland areas on the site contain a mixture of tree species common to the region including red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidamb(Ir styraciflua), yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). 1.2.6 Protected Species and Habitat Based upon consultation with the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Database (accessed 02/28/2011) and pedestrian field surveys, no threatened or endangered species are known to be located in the immediate area of the proposed project. Therefore, we anticipate a finding of "no effect" on federally listed endangered or threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. 1.2.7 Historical and/or Archaeological Sites Based upon a review of the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places at the State Historic Preservation Office (03/02/11), no registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible, are located within the project area or will be affected by the proposed work. In addition, no archaeological features will be impacted or affected by the proposed work (direct communication, Susan Myers, N.C. State Archaeologist, 03/02/11). 1.2.8 Regulated Floodplain The site is not located within the 100 -year floodplain as designated by FEMA (Effective May, 2, 2006, Panel No. 0656). 1.3 Project Description The project is a 0.46 mile roadway extension to the southwest portion of Judd Parkway, and approximately 0. 17 miles of pavement widening on NC 42 in the Town of Fuquay-Varina.

The wetland area is a riparian forested system dominated by blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), sweetgu111 (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron lulipifera), and red maple (Acer mbrum). Upland areas on the site contain a mixture of tree species common to the region including red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidamb(Ir styraciflua), yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). 1.2.6 Protected Species and Habitat Based upon consultation with the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Database (accessed 02/28/2011) and pedestrian field surveys, no threatened or endangered species are known to be located in the immediate area of the proposed project. Therefore, we anticipate a finding of "no effect" on federally listed endangered or threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. 1.2.7 Historical and/or Archaeological Sites Based upon a review of the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places at the State Historic Preservation Office (03/02/11), no registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible, are located within the project area or will be affected by the proposed work. In addition, no archaeological features will be impacted or affected by the proposed work (direct communication, Susan Myers, N.C. State Archaeologist, 03/02/11). 1.2.8 Regulated Floodplain The site is not located within the 100 -year floodplain as designated by FEMA (Effective May, 2, 2006, Panel No. 0656). 1.3 Project Description The project is a 0.46 mile roadway extension to the southwest portion of Judd Parkway, and approximately 0. 17 miles of pavement widening on NC 42 in the Town of Fuquay-Varina. This section of Judd Parkway will consist of a two lane curb & gutter cross section with four foot bicycle lanes on each side. The proposed typical section will measure 32' to 48' face of curb to face of curb. The project will begin at the existing stub of Judd Parkway near Hunters Ridge Road and continue in a north/northwest direction ending at NC 42 just east of Cameron Wood Drive, a distance of approximately 2,400 If. In addition, NC 42 will be widened near the project terminus to include left and right turn lanes onto the newly constructed Judd Parkway. Site preparation will begin with the mechanized clearing of vegetation and installation of erosion control devices around the construction area. All sediment and erosion control structures will be installed within the temporary easements and permanent drainage easements around the perimeter of the site. With the exception of areas where wetland impacts are proposed, all remaining wetlands on the site will be located outside of the proposed disturbed limits. The remaining wooded areas will be left untouched to create a wooded buffer that will not only act as a visual and acoustic screen, but will also help reduce the risk of unintended wetland impacts. Following installation of the erosion control measures, the roadway construction will begin. The roadway alignment was designed to minimize impacts to the stream and wetlands while avoiding existing residences as much as possible. It was not possible to avoid the stream and wetlands completely due to the locations of the existing residential developments surrounding the corridor. In an attempt to minimize impacts, project components that have more flexibility with regard to their location, including some sediment traps and skimmer basins, have been located to avoid as much impact to wetlands as possible. Due to the location of the outfalls, however, some drainage and erosion control measures will impact the wetland. lmpact 1, which is depicted in Figure 7 and 8, will occur within the stream and wetland system which drains from east to west under SW Judd Parkway. Impact 1 includes 0.93 acres of permanent wetland impacts due to fill in the wetlands, and 245 linear feet of stream impacts. The project will also result in the temporary placement of fill into 0.34 acres of jurisdictional wetland. Impact 2, which is depicted on Figure 9 and 10, includes 0.09 acres of temporary impacts to Wetland 1 resulting from the installation of a sediment basin. An Erosion and Sedimentation Control permit will be obtained to authorize the release of stormwater and groundwater from the project corridor to the stream from the Division of Land Resources (DLR). Sediment and erosion control measures that were initially proposed for lower lying portions of the roadway were moved upslope to avoid impacts to streams and wetlands. Stormwater runoff will be treated to the Maximum Extent Practicable in accordance with the practices described in the NCDOT Best management Practices (BMP) Manual. The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts to 0.93 acres of wetlands associated with the project by providing payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) sufficient for the restoration of 1.86 acres (a 2:1 ratio) within the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030004). The applicant also proposes to mitigate for impacts to 245 linear feet of stream impacts associated with the project by providing payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) sufficient for the restoration of 490 El linear feet (a 2:1 ratio) within the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030004). An acceptance form from NCEEP is included in Appendix G. 2.0 Project Purpose The purpose of the project is to connect an existing segment of Judd Parkway located near Hunters Ridge Road to NC 42 West to handle increased traffic through the town and reduce traffic congestion. The project is included in the Town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan and the town has adequate funding to build the project. The applicant has also evaluated other alternatives that could avoid or reduce impacts to jurisdictional waters, but these alternatives were determined to be impracticable and unqualified within the scope guidelines. This segment of Judd Parkway connects the existing roadway that dead -ends near it's intersection with Hunters Ridge Road. Additionally, this project is anticipated to reduce traffic congestion and carry future traffic at an acceptable level of service (LOS), enhance safety, and be compatible with adopted transportation and land use plans. According to the Town of Fuquay-Varina's Comprehensive Transportation Plans, regional access to Fuquay-Varina is provided by three major thoroughfares, US 401, NC 55 and NC 42. These three thoroughfares connect through downtown Fuquay-Varina. Cross-town routes are intended to provide greater mobility within the area; however, overlapping routes have produced significant traffic congestion on Main Street in Fuquay-Varina, where the congestion is compounded by traffic signals and the lack of alternate routes. The proposed Southwest Judd Parkway will function as an important part of the transportation system planned for the Town of Fuquay-Varina. It and the remaining proposed segments of the Judd Parkway extension are shown in the Town of Fuquay-Varina's Comprehensive Transportation Plan as a recommended major thoroughfare (Figure 10). It is classified as a recommended boulevard serving medium to long distance travel. Though the extension of the parkway would not follow the exact route indicated on the Recommended Thoroughfare Plan due to the alternatives analysis, the same general purpose of increasing system continuity and providing a logical point of terminus for the Southwest Judd Parkway would be served. As an added benefit, the extension of the Southwest Judd Parkway would provide the proposed link that would connect NC 42 to US 401. If the intended full loop of Judd parkway is completed, the roadway will provide a link between from US 401 South to NC 55 North re-routing traffic around downtown Fuquay-Varina. As an additional benefit, the Judd Parkway Extension has the potential to relieve congestion and increase mobility on many of the existing highways. With congestion relief provided, there is a potential for accident reduction in the existing high accident corridors. The construction of Southwest Judd Parkway is fully funded by the Town of Fuquay-Varina, with no Federal or State funds utilized for the project. The Town of Fuquay-Varina will petition for the roadway to be maintained by NCDOT after completion of construction. 3.0 Scope of Analysis: The proposed work will allow for improved traffic flow in and around the Town to benefit citizens in the community as well as others throughout the region. Other than the requirement to obtain a Section 404 permit, no other federal involvement in the proposed work is anticipated. There are no practicable alternatives to the proposed plans that would further avoid or minimize impacts to waters of the U.S., and the project would not meet the applicant's purpose and need but for the proposed impacts. Addtionally, the proposed roadway is bisected by a wetland and stream system subject to Section 404 permit requirements, and impacts to these systems are essential for the development of the project as a whole. Accordingly, the proposed scope of analysis extends to the limits of the project (i.e., the entire 7.8 -acre project area). 4.0 Other Federal, State, and Local Authorizations Obtained or Required and Pending 4.1 State Water Quality (401) Certification The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 certification application is submitted concurrent to this 404 permit application. DWQ will also review the proposed plans for compliance with state stormwater requirements. 4.2 Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit As part of the 401 General Certification requirements, a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan will be required from the Division of Land Resources (DLR), which includes a NPDES General Stormwater Permit. Sediment and erosion control measures that were initially proposed for the lower lying portions of the roadway were moved upslope to avoid impacts to streams and wetlands. Stormwater runoff will be treated to the Maximum Extent Practicable in accordance with the practices described in the NCDOT Best management Practices (BMP) Manual. 5.0 Project Alternatives 5.1 No -Action Alternative The Town of Fuquay-Varina has considered several alternatives to improve the existing transportation system in order to accommodate anticipated growth in travel demand. Based on estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau (2009), the existing population within the town limits is 17, 910. The town estimates that the population will almost double (33,186) by 2025 (Town of Fuquay-Varina's Comprehensive Transportation Plan, Adopted 2006). According to the Fuquay-Varina's Comprehensive Transportation Plan (2006), the cross- town routes —US 401, NC 42, and NC 55 co -exist over a two-mile section known as Main Street. The cross-town routes are intended to provide greater mobility within the area; however overlapping routes have produced traffic congestion on Main Street on which nearly 30,000 vehicles travel on a typical day. The capacity of Main Street is 35,000-40,000 vehicles per day. Main Street cannot sustain the increasing traffic volume and existing development constrains the expansion of existing streets. Therefore, a no -action alternative is not a viable option for the Town. I 5.2 Preliminary (Original) Southwest Judd Parkway Alternative The Preliminary (Original) Southwest Judd Parkway Alternative, as proposed in the Town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP), was restricted in its location based on railroad crossing horizontal and vertical geometry, existing residential properties, and the two project terminus locations including the existing stub of Judd Parkway (south) and the NC 42 connection (north). With these constraints, functional level designs were developed using the alignment as shown in the Town's CTP. The functional designs consist of developing horizontal and vertical alignments, setting proposed edge of pavements, cutting cross sections at 50 foot intervals, and ultimately producing the proposed footprint of impacts (construction limits). Following the completion of the functional designs, the resulting environmental impacts were quantified and evaluated. The preliminary design was shown to follow directly on top of the UT to Kenneth Creek as well as an associated riparian wetland system (Appendix A — Figure A-1). This alternative resulted in approximately 910 LF of permanent stream impacts and 2.4 acres of wetland impacts. Based on the amount of environmental impacts, this was not considered a preferable option. 5.3 Preferred (Proposed) Alternative The original proposed alignment of SW Judd Parkway, shown in the Town of Fuquay-Varina CTP (2006), connected to NC I lwy 42 through a parcel of land owned by the Town of Fuquay-Varina, from there, the alignment continued in a southerly direction in close proximity the center of the stream. This original alignment would have caused substantial impacts to the wetlands, and would have forced hundreds of feet of stream realignment. Therefore, additional alignment alternatives were investigated. In order to shift the alignment from the original location, one or more of the original design constraints had to be sacrificed. Of the three major nun-cnvironmcntal design constraints (eaistillg Judd Parkway stub, railroad crossing geometry, and NC 42 connection location), it was most practicable to reevaluate the connection to NC 42. The alignment was shifted approximately 200 feet to the West to minimize the stream and wetland impacts (Appendix A — Figure A-2). Therefore, the Town will not be able to use their existing parcel of land as the tie location to NC 42. Instead, a privately owned parcel of land will be purchased by the Town to provide the connection to NC 42. After evaluating alternatives functional plans were developed on the preferred alignment. The preferred alignment resulted in approximately 245 LF of stream impacts and .93 acres of permanent wetland impacts. According to CMTP, upon completion Judd Parkway will form a loop around the core area of the town. The proposed future Northwest Segment will connect the parkway from NC 42 to NC 55. The proposed alignment is included in Appendix A — Figure A-3. 5.4 Minimization of Unavoidable Impacts Due to the orientation of the stream and wetland system in proximity to the proposed road alignment, complete avoidance of stream and wetland impacts was not practicable. In addition to design modifications to the roadway, the following measures have been incorporated into the design to minimize the unavoidable impacts. 7 Fill slopes were minimized from 3:1 to 2.5:1 to reduce the impacts of fill in the stream and wetlands. Geotechnical reports indicate 2.5:1 slopes are the steepest permissible for the types of soil present throughout the project location. • The 72" RCP crosspipe carrying the stream under Southwest Judd Parkway was flanked with 2 — 42" RCP floodplain pipes to allow additional flow area, provide equilibrium between the wetlands, and allows for animal movement. The design includes widening on NC 42 over the existing 5' x 5' reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC). The typical treatment in this case is to lengthen the existing RCBC. However, to help further reduce environmental impacts, a less traditional design approach is being pursued. The design is called a moment slab barrier rail (Figure 11) and allows for the roadway widening without lengthening of the existing RCBC. This results in the elimination of all stream impacts in this area. Qualitative Cumulative Impact Analysis Pursuant to guidance associated with Section XII of the Preconstruction Notification Application, the following brief analysis was conducted to determine the potential cumulative impact associated with the proposed project. This analysis generally follows DWQ's cumulative impact policy, as outlined in the memo of April 10, 2004. Is growth likely to be induced by the project? No. The purpose of the proposed project is not intended to induce growth, but rather to allow for improved traffic flow in and around the Town. The parcels that could potentially experience development are shown in Figure 12. Other parcels in the area have already been developed for commercial, institutional, or residential uses, establishing a geographic limit for the extent of potential growth -inducing effects of the project. Most of the parcels adjoining the proposed corridor already abut existing roads. It is likely that several of these parcels would be developed over time, even if the Judd Parkway Extension were not constructed. There are at least two potential scenarios that would allow for continued development. One alternative is the option of lower density development without proposing any new road improvements or widening. Alternatively, improvements/widening to existing roads along the project corridor may allow for higher density development. It is important to note that neither of these options is a viable alternative to the proposed project because they would not meet the objective of routing traffic around the downtown area. Nevertheless, these alternatives suggest that development of the parcels abutting the proposed Judd Parkway corridor would likely occur over time with or without the construction of the project. Are existing uses of the water (as reflected in the classification of the waters) likely to be impacted by the growth? No. The entire project corridor is contained within the Kenneth Creek watershed, Stream Index #18-16-1-(1). The classification for this watershed is C (Secondary Recreation). There are no unique characteristics about the watershed that would substantially increase the potential for significant cumulative impacts. The receiving waters are not on the 303(d) list of impaired waterways within one mile of the study area (2010 List accessed 04/14/2011). Additionally, based on an evaluation of the N.C. Natural Heritage Program database, the Kenneth Creek watershed does not support any known aquatic threatened or endangered species. The classification for this watershed is C (Secondary Recreation). There are no unique characteristics about the watershed that would substantially increase the potential for significant cumulative impacts. The watershed that contains the project area and adjacent parcels is approximately 6,600 acres in size, roughly bounded by Wilbon Road to the north, Piney Grove-Wilbon Road to the west, Purfoy road to east, and Chalybeate Springs Road to the south. Within this area, the active land use based on interpretation of 2009 aerial photographs is roughly estimated as 40% (2,600 acres) forested, 2% (100 acres) commercial/institutional, 36% (2,400 acres) agricultural/ fallow fields, and 22% (1,500 acres) single family residential. The majority of the 6,600 -acre area that has development potential is currently zoned for Commercial Shopping (CS), with areas to the north zoned as Residential (R 20), as shown on the 2009 Official Zoning Map (Appendix B). The primary impact -causing activity that would have an effect on downstream water quality would be the addition of impervious surfaces associated with the roadway and secondary development activities. This would result in increased stormwater runoff, which would alter the natural flow regime of receiving waters. Development also results in increased stormwater runoff containing higher levels of sediments, nutrients, and pollutants. Typical effects of these changes may include: an increase in the volume and frequency of flooding events; reduced baseflow; reductions in water quality due to increased sediment, nutrient and pollutant inputs; stream instability and bank erosion; loss of in -stream habitat; reductions in aquatic species diversity; and damage to riparian corridors. There are several federal, state, and local, rules and regulations that govern development activities within the watershed. Some of the relevant regulations that apply to the subject watershed are described below: Section 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act — These regulations protect waters of the U.S., including wetlands and streams, by requiring the issuance of federal and state authorizations prior to the initiation of any activity that would result in the placement of dredged or fill material into waters. These regulations provide for federal and state oversight of activities that may degrade aquatic resources or violate state water quality standards. In particular, development proposals that trigger a review by NCDWQ may result in the compulsory addition of stormwater management facilities, which can substantially reduce the detrimental effects of increase impervious surfaces and their associated runoff. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan — Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR), an NPDES General stormwater permit administered by the Division is automatically issued to the project. Linear public transportation projects will be required to treat stormwater runoff to the Maximum Extent Practicable in accordance with the practices described in the NCDOT Best Management Practices (BMP) Manual. Are additional regulatory measures needed? No. Due to the protection of the existing regulations and ordinances mentioned above, additional measures are not needed to protect downstream receiving waters for the effects of additional development that may be induced by the proposed project. In addition, the Town of Fuquay-Varina has adopted the Neuse River Buffer requirements for portions of the Town in both the Neuse and the Cape Fear River Basin as an additional water quality protection measure. All new development that will take place within the parcels adjacent to the proposed road corridor would be required to connect to the Town's wastewater treatment system, which limits the potential for untreated domestic wastewater contamination that could affect downstream primary recreation areas. In summary, based on the factors identified above, it is not anticipated that the project will result in an increase in development and, therefore, it is anticipated that the project will result in only minor environmental impacts.

If we have not received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net. Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following table. Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem Enhancement Program In -Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010.
