Re: Crabtree Village — Buffer Compliance Request
W &R Project 402110265.00
Dear Mr. McMillan,
On behalf of Pappas Properties, LLC, we are requesting Buffer Compliance from NC -DWQ for impacts to
Neuse River riparian buffers associated with the proposed project.
The project is ±24 acres in size and is located north of the intersection of Crabtree Village Avenue and Blue
Ridge Road in Raleigh, Wake County (Latitude: 35.834925N; Longitude: - 78.678692W). The project site is
bordered to the south by Blue Ridge Road, to the east by Crabtree Valley Avenue and to the north by Edwards
Mill Road. The project is located in the Neuse River basin and onsite waters drain to House Creek, which is a
tributary of Crabtree Creek. The Water Quality Classification for House Creek is C; NSW and the Stream Index
Number is: 27- 33 -13. The cataloging unit for the site is 03020201.
Proposed Project
The proposed project will be a mixed use development with both residential and commercial development.
Phase I consists of the construction of a multi - family apartment complex, with seven apartment buildings and
associated infrastructure (i.e. roads, parking, utilities) as well as a constructed wetland which will provide
stormwater treatment. Phase I also consists of improvements to Blue Ridge Road, which is required by the City
of Raleigh as a condition of approval of the project. The improvements to Blue Ridge Road include widening of
the existing road, construction of curb and gutter stormwater conveyance, and construction of a greenway trail.
The widening of Blue Ridge Road will require new curb and gutter to be installed to create a closed stormwater
system due to excessive velocities anticipated along the steep grade of the road. The curb and gutter will replace
the existing ditch conveyance of stormwater from Blue Ridge Road. The existing stormwater runoff from Blue
Ridge Road flows east through an existing ditch and into House Creek. Due to the steep slope, the existing ditch
will be replaced with a pipe to safely convey stormwater runoff into House Creek without eroding the stream
banks. The existing headwall will be extended to accommodate the outfall of the proposed stormwater pipe.
The future phases of the Crabtree Village will consist of commercial development. However, the future
commercial development has not been designed to date, but will not require impacts to wetlands, streams or
riparian buffers.

Project HiAM
An application, dated April 5, 2011, was submitted to the Corps of Engineers (AID SAW- 2012 - 00994) and NC
DWQ (DWQ Project 4 11 -0335) for the proposed Crabtree Village project site under the Crabtree Village project
name. The application requested stream and buffer impacts for a proposed culverted road crossing of House
Creek. The applicant was Redus NC Land, LLC. NC DWQ issued a Request for Additional Information Letter
on May 10, 2011. The original Crabtree Village project was abandoned by the applicant, and a response to the
Request for Additional Information Letter was never submitted and the application was withdrawn from DWQ.
The Corps of Engineers issued a NWP 39 for the proposed impacts for the previous Crabtree Village project, and
issued a JD for project site in conjunction with the issuance of the NWP 39, which is valid until June 10, 2016.
A copy of the NWP 39 has been provided as an Appendix.
Please note that the Crabtree Village project was redesigned for Pappas Properties, LLC, and the culverted road
crossing of House Creek was removed.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed impacts consist of 755 sq ft of permanent impacts to Zone 1 and 400 sq ft of permanent impacts to
Zone 2 for construction of the outfall for the constructed wetland BMP; as well as 515 sq ft of permanent
impacts to Zone 1 and 289 sq ft of permanent impacts to Zone 2 for improvements to Blue Ridge Road and
installation of the stormwater pipe within the existing ditch which conveys stormwater from Blue Ridge Road to
House Creek.
In a meeting on August 21, 2012 between Annette Lucas (DWQ) and Hunter Freeman (W &R), it was
determined that the conversion of the ditch outfall from Blue Ridge Road to a piped outfall was permissible
because the there was an existing surface outfall in this location, and the outfall improvements were necessary to
prevent stream bank erosion due to the steep slope of the outfall. It was determined that this conversion could be
considered maintenance of an existing outfall structure. While diffuse flow is not required for this outfall, the
design includes a rip -rap dissipater pad to reduce the velocity of the stormwater to prevent erosion.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts
to jurisdictional "waters" and riparian buffers could be minimized. The proposed project is being constructed
entirely in uplands. The proposed buffer impacts are the result of the roadway improvements required by the
City of Raleigh and for the construction of an outfall for the constructed wetland BMP. Also, the stormwater
outfall from Blue Ridge Road has been designed to extend and existing headwall to stabilize fill rather than using
backslopes that would have encroached into House Creek.
Mitigation -
The proposed improvements to Blue Ridge Road will cross House Creek at a perpendicular angle and impact less
than 1/3 acres of riparian buffers, which is identified as an "Allowable" use. Also, per the meeting with Annette
WITHERS &- RAVENEL Page 2 of 3

WITHERS RAVEN EL
ENGINEERS I PLANNERS I SURVEYORS
Lucas, the installation of the stormwater outfall pipe within the ditch along Blue Ridge Road would be
considered maintenance, which is also identified as an "Allowable" use. Therefore, there is no buffer mitigation
proposed.
Stormwater Management Plan
The Stormwater Management Plan will consist of a constructed wetland, which does not require a level spreader.
The Stormwater Management Plan has been reviewed and preliminarily approved by the City of Raleigh, with
final approval pending the issuance of the Buffer Authorization. Upon final approval by the City of Raleigh, a
copy of the approved Stormwater Management Plan will be provided to DWQ.
The current request is for 1,959 sq ft of buffer impacts (see the attached maps and PCN for details).
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.

1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to
jurisdictional "waters" and riparian buffers could be minimized. The proposed project is being constructed entirely in uplands.
The proposed buffer impacts are the result of the roadway improvements required by the City of Raleigh and for the
construction of an outfall for the constructed wetland BMP. Also, the stormwater outfall from Blue Ridge Road has been
designed to extend and existing headwall to stabilize fill rather than using backslopes that would have encroached into House
Creek.
