application
This site is currently an existing residential subdivision The surrounding land use is comprised of existing residential
developments
3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
05
3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property
Approximately 1 000 LF
3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The residential development and the unavoidable impacts needed to construct the subdivision was previously approved
by the USACE and NC DWQ in 2005 The proposed project is required to meet Town of Apex Stormwater Management
requirements and three (3) extended detention wetlands were constructed to meet the stormwater management criteria
imposed upon the development The Town of Apex further required that level spreaders be used at the outlet of the
stormwater wetlands as they would not approve bypass channels through the Town Buffers The Town of Apex and the
Home Owners Association for Seagrove s Farm has determined that the level spreaders are fading and thus have
decided to allow the bypass channels from the stormwater wetlands to be constructed through the Apex Riparian Buffer
As such the applicant is requesting approval of the minor amount of Neuse River Riparian Buffer impacts associated with
the overflow /bypass channels for each of these previously approved BMPs
3e Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used
The site is already developed This application request is associated with constructing bypass channels from an
approved stormwater wetland through the Riparian Buffer area Equipment typical to stormwater construction will be
used including backhoes excavators and dump trucks

Impact Justification and Mitigation
1
Avoidance and Minimization
1a
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
This development was previously approved and is currently built The riparian buffer impacts requested in this application
are solely for the purpose of constructing bypass /overflow channels from the stormwater wetlands that exist on site
These stormwater BMPs were designed to treat all the storm flow generated from the development thereby ultimately
improving water quality despite requiring a minimal amount of buffer impact to achieve it
1b
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
The project will meet with Town of Apex requirements for Sediment and Erosion Control practices Tree protection
fencing will be utilized to ensure impacts remain within the permanent swale areas as depicted on the impact maps

channels from the proposed stormwater wetlands created to treat the stormwater generated by this project It is our
understanding from previous discussions had with Ms Annette Lucas (Stormwater Engineer for NC DWQ Central Office)
that this approach is in accordance with DWO expectations for these types of BMP devices It is also our understanding
that these impacts are allowable per the Table of Uses

1a
Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified
® Yes ❑ No
within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
1 b
If yes then is a diffuse flow plan included? If no explain why
Comments This previously approved subdivision has three (3) stormwater wetlands
to capture and treat all stormwater runoff generated by the development
Stormwater wetlands are permitted to discharge directly to surface waters and
❑ Yes ® No
therefore no diffuse flow is required The minor amount of buffer impact requested
in this application is associated with the bypass /overflow channels for these
devices

2b
Does this project require a Stormwater Management Plan?
❑ Yes ® No

This development was previously approved — as were the stormwater management devices that are already constructed
and functioning This application is for Neuse River Riparian Buffer impacts associated with the bypass channels to be
constructed from these stormwater wetlands

❑ Yes No
additional development which could impact nearby downstream water quality
3b
If you answered yes to the above submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the
most recent DWQ policy If you answered no provide a short narrative description
We have reviewed the DRAFT Internal Policy Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated
Wetland Programs document prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10 2004 version 2 1 The draft
states that many private development projects including small residential developments are unlikely to cause cumulative
impacts This project does not meet any of the three criteria of private projects that can clearly result in cumulative
impacts The proposed residential development is relatively small in nature is within a residentially developed landscape
bounded by existing homes and therefore the utility infrastructure (i a water and electricity) are already in place to
service the proposed development We anticipate that you will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative impact analysis is
required
4
Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement)
4a
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non - discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from
the proposed project or available capacity of the subject facility
This project will connect to existing sewer lines The Town of Apex will ensure the capacity of their WWTF is not
exceeded
