Dear US -ACE and NC -DWQ staff: Attached is the PCN (NWP -29) for KB Home's proposed Oakwood North Neighborhood, a 39- lot urban infill subdivision located on a 10.77 acre parcel 1.5 mile northeast of the State Capitol in Raleigh. The proposed road through the new subdivision will connect the dead -end stub of Plainview Ave to the north with North State Street to the south, and will cross one intermittent stream and its riparian buffer along the northern edge of the property. Martin Richmond of DWQ verified the ephemeral/intermittent transition point on 28 Sept 2012. The stream crossing location is constrained by the location of Plainview Ave and existing homes on both sides. The road crossing will require 72 linear feet of this stream to be piped (average 5 ft wide) and 46 linear feet of stream to be stabilized with rip -rap (average 8 ft wide). Most of the riparian area north of the stream is previously disturbed by the existing street, homes and lawns which pre- date the Neuse Buffer Rules. The total permanent buffer impacts (mostly south of the stream) are 2845 sq.ft in zone 1 and 1674 sq.ft. in zone 2. The total temporary impacts are 2756 sq.ft in zone 1 and 2244 sq.ft. in zone 2. Another stream south of the project site is more than 60 feet beyond the property boundary and neither the stream nor its buffer will not be affected. The drainage divide between the two streams lies in an east -west orientation through the middle of the property. Both streams flow westward into Cemetery Branch, which flows into Pigeon House Branch and then to Crabtree Creek, all of which are designated Class C -NSW waters. No wetlands exist on the property, based on my field evaluation in September 2012. Two stormwater detention basins, one in the northwest corner of the site and one in the southwest corner, are presently under review by City of Raleigh which has delegated authority for stormwater permitting.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at time of this application: The 10.77 acre project site is mostly wooded except for one acre in the center containing a vacant single- family home. The main access to the property (dirt driveway to the house) is from the north end of North State Street along the southern property boundary. Plainview Ave ends at the northern property boundary, but there is no existing road onto the site from the north. Single - family residential lots border the property along the south (Edmund St), east (Weatherford Cir), and north (Plainview Ave). Conn Elementary School borders the property along the west, and St. Matthew AME Church borders the northeast corner of the property. A headwater stream originates near the northeast property corner and flows west - northwest across the northern edge of the property. Another stream originates behind the homes along Edmund Street and flows westward roughly parallel to and about 60 to 80 feet south of the property. Both streams flow into Cemetery Branch 0.2 mile west of the property, which in turn flows into Pigeon House Branch and then into Crabtree Creek. Page 2 of 10 PCN Form — Version 1.3 Dec 2008 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: RJG &A Environmental Consultants examined the property for streams and wetlands during August 2012, and found no jurisdictional or isolated wetlands on or immediately adjacent the property. 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: An unnamed tributary of Cemetery Branch originates on the northeast portion of the property and flows westward 255 feet across and along the northern edge of the property. It continues as an ephemeral channel upslope (east) of the intermittent stream head for 110 feet to the eastern property line, then off -site onto the church property. This northern stream drains the northern half of the property. A second stream which drains the southern half of the property is located more than 60 feet beyond the southern property boundary. These two streams are mapped on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County sheet 49 (1970), but are not mapped on the USGS Topographic Quadrangle "Raleigh East." 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The project will provide 39 small residential lots in one of Raleigh's older neighborhoods, with convenient access to schools and parks. It will also provide a street connection between North State Street to the south and Plainview Ave to the north, both of which end at the property line. Most of the riparian buffer along the northern portion of the property plus some additional lands will be preserved as woodland, and stormwater basins near the northwest and southwest corners of the property will be used to control runoff volume and quality. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The Oakwood North project is a single family neighborhood to be constructed in three phases. Access for site clearing, grading and construction will be from North State Street on the south side of the property, leaving the stream and riparian buffer along the north edge of the property undisturbed until the final phase when the road crossing to Plainview Ave is built. This stream crossing is required by the City of Raleigh to provide traffic connectivity. The existing abandoned house will be removed, and most of the property will be cleared and graded for the proposed roads, utility lines, housing lots, and two stormwater basins. The northeastern portion adjacent to the stream buffer will be preserved as forest. The two stormwater BMPs will be constructed as dry detention basins for water quantity control. The outlet of the southern basin will use a level spreader for diffuse flow outside the buffer, and the northern basin outlet will tie directly into the culvert at the road crossing. The proposed stream crossing at the existing southern end of Plainview Ave will impact 118 feet of stream using 72 linear feet of 42" culvert and 46 linear feet of riprap at the culvert outlet. The road crossing and culvert will use segmental block walls to minimize the length of impact to the stream and buffers. Maintained easements alongside the culvert are required by the City for maintenance access to the culvert ends and headwalls. 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1 1. Avoidance and Minimization I la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The stream and buffer crossing at the north edge of the site will be as close to perpendicular as possible, given the existing alignment of Plainview Ave. The off -site southern tributary is more than 60 feet beyond the property and will not be affected. Both stormwater basins will be outside of riparian buffers. Additional riparian land along the ephemeral channel upstream of the intermittent stream head (northeast corner of the property) will be included in the tree preservation area. Retaining walls at the culvert ends will minimize the width of fill required for the road, and disturbance limits will be 3 feet beyond the retaining walls as required by City of Raleigh for maintenance easements. Page 5 of 10 PCN Form —Version 1.3 Dec 2008 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Erosion and sediment controls and tree protection fencing will be installed at the beginning of project construction. Construction access will be from North State Street at the south edge of the property, so that disturbance of the stream and riparian buffer at the north edge can be delayed until the final phase after the rest of the cleared areas (roadways, house lots and stormwater basins) are stabilized and reseeded. This approach along with efficient construction time management will minimize exposure of the stream to erosion and sediment. Poured concrete will be isolated from stream water during curing to prevent release of toxic substances into adjacent waters. 2.

Cumulative Impacts (DWG) Requirement) 3a. Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in ❑ 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. This project is urban infill development and the surrounding land is already developed. It will not induce significant additional urban growth or secondary and cumulative impacts. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWO Requirement) Page 8 of 10 PCN Form — Version 1.3 Dec 2008 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. The expected maximum sewer flow at build -out is 240 gal/day/lot x 39 lots = 9,360 gal/day. The downstream sewer has adequate unused capacity and the developer has obtained conditional preliminary utility approval from City of Raleigh. 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or ❑ Yes ® No habitat? 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act ® Yes ❑ No impacts? ® Raleigh 5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. ❑ Asheville 5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? US -FWS and NC -NHP websites list three federally endangered species in Wake County: Dwarf Wedgemussel, Red - cockaded Woodpecker, and Michuax's Sumac. The urban- impacted intermittent streams on and adjacent to the Oakwood North project site do not provide suitable habitat for Dwarf Wedgemussel, which requires perennial flow, good water quality, and relatively stable stream -banks and bed materials. There is no record of Dwarf Wedgemussel in the Pigeon House Creek or Crabtree Creek watersheds. Red - cockaded Woodpecker requires large tracts (typically 100 acres or more) of mature pine- dominated forest with sparse hardwood understory encroachment. Some mature pines exist on the site, but this small patch is too isolated from largerpine stands to provide suitable habitat for these woodpeckers. Michaux' Sumac occurs in thin - canopy woodlands and along forest edges that receive abundant sunlight, including scrubby road embankments and powerline rights -of way. None of these habitat types occur on the project site, and none of these three endangered species has been reported within five miles of the project site. As dense urban development surrounds this 10.7 -acre parcel on all sides, none of these species is likely to occur on adjacent lands. Based on lack of suitable habitat and lack of nearby records for these three species (NC -NHP and NC -WRC records), biologist Gerald Pottern of RJG &A concludes that the project will not affect any federally endangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ❑ Yes ® No 6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat? NC -DMF and NC -WRC. Crabtree Creek and its tributaries are not designated essential fish habitat. 7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement) 7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation ❑ Yes ® No status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in North Carolina history and archaeology)? 7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? The only structure on the project site is a single family home approximately 30 years old. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) online GIS database of National Register historic sites does not indicate any known archaeological or historic site on or adjacent to the property. The nearest known site is the Capitol Heights Historic District (WA -4435) located south of Glascock Street, one block south of the project, which will not be affected by the proposed project. 8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement) Page 9 of 10 PCN Form —Version 1.3 Dec 2008 8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA- designated 100 -year floodplain? ❑ Yes ® No 8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements: 8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? NC Floodplain Mapping Information System, Wake County FIRM Panel 1714 (attached Fig 11). The upstream limit of Floodplain Zone AE along Cemetery Branch is approximately 900 feet downstream (northwest) of the project site.
