Horton, we are requesting Buffer Compliance from the NC-DWQ for the construction of a gazebo and boardwalk that will impact 199 SF of Zone 1 and 23 SF of Zone 2 of the Neuse Riparian Buffer. The subject property is approximately io5 acres in size and is located 220o feet north of the intersection Edgemont Rd (SR 2300) and NC Hwy 97 (Latitude: 35.8o8i668°N and Longitude: 78.4005924°W) in Wendell, Wake County, North Carolina. Buffalo Creek flows along the western property boundary. The Water Quality Classification for these features is "B-NSW". The Stream Index Number is 27- 57-16-(2) and the Hydrologic Unit Code is 03020201. Wetlands on site consist of a Cypress Swamp within the floodplain of Buffalo Creek, headwater forest wetlands within the drainage way of Features B and C, and a beaver impoundment along Feature E. Project History On May i5`h and i6`h 2006, Withers & Ravenel conducted a detailed wetland delineation and Riparian Buffer Evaluation on the Edgemont Tract. On May 23, 2006, the NC-DWQ issued a Buffer Determination letter for stream channels located on the subject property (DWQ Project # NBRRO o6-123). On November 28`h, 2006, Mr. Jamie Shern of the USACE conducted a site visit to verify our delineation. We requested, and received, 404/401 approval for impacts associated with the construction of a residential development and repairs to an existing dam (AID # SAW-2007-1102-292, DWQ Project # 06-1945)• The approvals authorized 178LF of stream channel impact, .o4lacres of wetland fill and 0.31 acres of riparian buffer impact. Avoidance and Minimization In orderto minimize impacts to the buffer and reduce impervious surface, the applicant proposes a mulched trail the will lead to the gazebo, rather than asphalt. iii MacKenan Drive i Cary, NC z75ii i tel: 919.469.3340 i fax: 919.467.6008 i www.withersravenel.com 7040 Wrightsville Avenue i Suite 101 i Wilmington, NC z84o3 i tel: 9io.z56.9z77 i fax: 91o.z56•z584 1oz7 Sabbath Home Rd, SW i Supply, NC z846z i tel: 91o.84z•939z i fax: 91o.84z.8o19 The only impacts to the buffer consist of: 23 SF Zone 2 and 199SF Zone 1, so that a raised boardwalk can be built out to the gazebo.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Prior to site plan development, the applicant. requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and `waters' could be minimized. No wetland or stream impacts are proposed for this project. The proposed gazebo and walkway were designed to minimize impacts to the riparian buffer and reduce impervious surface, by utilizing a mulched trail that will lead to the gazebo rather than asphalt. VII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. Page 5 of 8 USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that maybe appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strni~ide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Because no wetland or stream impacts are proposed for this project, we do not believe that mitigation should be required. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.

Diffuse Flow All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re- concentrate before discharging into a stream as identified within 1SA NCAC 2B .0233 (S). If this is not possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office. D.R. Horton _-_ Page 3 of 5 March 19, 2007 5. Protective Fencing The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC 2B 33 and GC 3402. Mitigation: 5. Compensatory Mitigation Using the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as specified in the table below. We understand that you wish to make a payment to the Wetlands Restoration Fund administered by the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has been determined by the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR -Ecosystem Enhancement Program Office), no impacts specified in this Authorization Certificate shall occur. The EEP should be contacted at (919) 733-5205 if you have any questions concerning payment into a restoration fund. You have one month from the date of this approval to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Authorization Certificate authorizes payment into the Wetlands Restoration Fund to meet the following compensatory mitigation requirement: Compensatory Mitigation Re uired River and Sub-basin Number Stream 178 (linear feet Neuse/03020201 6. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self- monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm. 7. Culvert Installation Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, D.R. Horton -_ Page 4 of 5 March 19, 2007 the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly. Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality. Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the prof ect. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form. 8. Deed Notifications Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall.be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands,. waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to this project. 9. Written Stormwater Management Plan (Final Plan Needed) A final, written stormwater management plan (including a signed and notarized Operation and Maintenance Agreement) .shall be submitted to the 401 Oversight and Express Permitting Unit (2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC, 27604) within 60 days of the issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification. The stormwater management plans shall be approved in D.R. Horton Page 5 of 5 March 19, 2007 writing by this Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur per Condition No. in GC No. 3402. You have the option of using the Express Review Program for expedited approval of these plans. If you propose to use the Express Review Program, remember to include the appropriate fee with the plan. Site-specific stormwater management shall be designed to remove 85% TSS according to the latest version of DWQ's stormwater Best Management Practices manual at a minimum. Additionally, in watersheds within one mile and draining to 303(d) listed waters, as well as watersheds that are classified as nutrient sensitive waters (NSW), water supply waters (WS), trout waters (Tr), high quality waters (HQW), and outstanding resource waters (ORW}, the Division shall require that extended detention wetlands, bio-retention areas, and ponds followed by forested filter strips (designed according to latest version of the NCDENR stormwater Best Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part of the stormwater management plan when asite-specific stormwater management plan is required. Alternative designs may be requested by the applicant and will be reviewed on a case- by- case basis by the Division of Water Quality. Approval of stormwater management plans by the Division of Water Quality's other existing state stormwater programs including appropriate local programs are sufficient to satisfy this Condition as long as the stormwater management plans meet or exceed the design requirements specified in this condition. This condition applies unless more stringent requirements are in effect from other state water quality programs. Unless specified otherwise in the approval letter, the final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved in writing by the Division of Water Quality's Wetlands Unit before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. The facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, the stormwater management plan (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be implemented before any permanent building or other structure is occupied at the subject site. The structural stormwater practices as approved by the Wetlands Unit as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. 10. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
