On behalf of our client, the Town of Fuquay-Varina, Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. is submitting the enclosed Individual Department of the Army
Permit Application for authorization pursuant to Section 404 and 401 of the
Clean Water Act to construct the above reference project.
The proposed project includes the construction of the Southwest Judd Parkway
Extension, located in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina. 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. The project will result
in permanent impacts to 245 linear feet of stream channel and the loss of 0.93
acre of riparian wetland.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for impacts 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).
According to the Town's Comprehensive Master Transportation Plan, 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. Please note that the Town anticipates that the future segment of the
thoroughfare will result in an Individual Permit.

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).

This document is intended to provide supplementary information in support of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers' (USACE) preparation of the Public Notice, Environmental Assessment, Finding of No
Significant Impact, Statement of Findings, and Review and Compliance Determination according to
the 404(b)(1) guidelines for the proposed Southwest Judd Parkway Extension, in Fuquay-Varina,
Wake County, North Carolina.
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. Therefore, we
anticipate a finding of "no effect" on federally listed endangered or threatened species and their
formally designated critical habitat, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

1.0 Location, Existing Site Conditions, Project Description
1.1 Location
The project is located in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County North Carolina. 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.

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

1.2.8 Regulated Floodplain
The site is not located within the 100 -year floodplain as designated by FEMA

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.

This acceptance is valid for nine months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the

on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In

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
