4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a mixed density residential subdivision to meet the growing demand for residential housing in Fuquay Varina and Wake County.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project consists of the construction of the following:
187 single family home lots
• 238 townhome lots
Construction of infrastructure (roads, greenways, utilities, stormwater management, etc.)
The design of eastern portion of the proposed project will connect to the emsting stub at the northern terminus of White Rail Drive. This connection will provide internal access for
vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic from the Whitehurst neighborhood to the future commercial areas within the Atwater Station Subdivision project, reducing traffic on James
Slaughter Road. This connection will also provide a second access within the Whitehurst neighborhood, which currently only has one access to James Slaughter Road. This connection
will improve emergency vehicle access to the Whitehurst neighborhood in the event of an emergency.
The greenway trails and sidewalks will provide internal recreation for residents to walk, jog or bike, and will extend to Bass Lake Road to provide connection for the Town of Fuquay-
Varina's future greenway trail system. The greenway trails will cross the wetlands and streams using elevated pedestrian bridges to avoid permanent wetland and stream impacts.
The proposed design for the internal roads Will result in one wetland crossing for the construction of the Whiterail Drive and Ballaster Road intersection.
Upon completion of construction the entire sewer system will be dedicated to the Town of Fuquay-Varina to become part of their public sewer system.

All proposed buffer impacts are classified as "Allowable Upon Authorization" in the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules Table of Uses
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:

Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be
minimized.
Proposed permanent wetland and stream impacts for construction of the subdivision and infrastructure have been minimized to only those necessary
for construction of road crossings, greenway trail and sewer pump station. There are no impacts proposed for construction of lots or stormwater
SCMs.
The connection to Whiterail Drive was designed to curve around Wetland A to minimize impacts to only 0.037 acres.
The grading impacts for the sewer pump station on Loggerhead Road have been minimized to only 0.054 ac by using 3:1 backslopes to transition fill
for the pumpstation site back to natural grade.
Wetland impacts have also been minimized through the use of elevated boardwalks for the greenway crossings within Wetland B, Wetland C and
Stream 1. Only temporary wetland impacts are necessary to construct the greenway crossings. The temporarily impacted wetlands will be restored to
natural grade and seeded with a riparian wetland seed mix.
Riparian buffer impacts have been minimized to only those necessary for the greenway crossings, which are "Allowable Upon Authorization".
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction techniques used to avoid or minimize impacts include installation of erosion & sediment control devices around all disturbed areas prior
to construction. Additionally, construction access will be within uplands.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Proposed permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.10 acres and therefore the applicant is not proposing compensatory mitigation.
All proposed riparian buffer impacts are classified as "Allowable Upon Authorization" and therefore buffer mitigation is not required.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) v
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
What type of SCM are you providing?
r Level Spreader
r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SMNT)
17 Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
r Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
r Yes r No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater
program?
r Yes r No
r N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply:
W Local Government r' State
Local Government Stormwater Programs
W Phase II r NSW r USMP r Water Supply
Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using.
Fuquay-Varina
Comments:
The proposed stormwater management plan consists of three wet detention SCMs which Will remove a minimum of 30 % nitrogen and therefore diffuse flow is not required. The
stormwater management plan will be reviewed and approved by the Town of Fuquay-Varina as the certified local government.
G. Supplementary Information

r Yes r No
51. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.?
r Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
WR reviewed the USFWS IPAC data, located at: https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/, to identify the federally listed species and critical habitat known to occur
within the vicinity of the project. The IPaC identified that RCW, Neuse River waterdog, Carolina madtom, Atlantic pigtoe, dwarf wedgemussel, yellow
lance and Michawes sumac have ranges that extend into the project area. The IPaC specified that there are no critical habitats within the project area.
The IPaC species list has been provided as an attachment to this application.
WR also reviewed the NC Natural Heritage Program database, located at https:/Incnhde.natureserve.org/, as well as NCNHP GIS data to identify if
there were any known occurrences of federally listed species within or near the proposed project. The review of the NCNHP data did not identify any
recent occurrences of federally listed threatened or endangered species within or within 1 mile of the project, see attached NCNHP project review
letter dated 08/30/2021.
Site reviews did not identify any potential habitat for bald eagle or red -cockaded woodpecker. Pedestrian surveys focused along the edges of the
agricultural fields did not identify any occurrences of Michau)es sumac. There are no known occurrences of bald eagle nests within 1.0 miles of the
project area, and the pedestrian survey did not identify any nests within or adjacent to the project boundary.
The project is located in the Neuse River Basin and therefore is within the known range of the Carolina madtom, Neuse River waterdog, Atlantic
pigtoe, dwarf wedgemussel and yellow lance. The proposed project drains to both the Bass Lake/Basal Creek and Terrible Creek. There are
numerous impoundments within both Basal Creek and Terrible Creek between the project site and the larger perennial streams where potential
mussel habitat may be located. These impoundments would prevent migration of the mussel species to sustain viable populations Additionally, the
perennial streams (Streams 2, 4, 5 & 6) within the project area are small, shallow streams with lowflowMich were not considered potential habitat for
Carolina madtom, Neuse River waterdog, Atlantic pigtoe, dwarf wedgemussel and yellow lance. Therefore, WR concludes that the proposed project will
not adversely affect federally listed species or their designated critical habitat.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
r Yes r No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?*
WR reviewed the NOAA Essential Fish Habitat online mapper, located at: http://vmw.habitat.noaa.gov/protection/efh/efhmapper/index.htmi. There are
no waters classified as EFH in Wake County.

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 status?*
r Yes r No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?*
WR reviewed the NC State Historic Preservation Office's online database, located at: http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/, to determine if there were any
known historic or cultural resources within or in the vicinity of the proposed project. The database review identified three historic structures near the
project area along Bass Lake Road. The historic structures identified by the database include the Thomas Store (WA0594) and the Maynard House
(WA0593), both of which are listed as "Gone'.
An additional historic structure listed only as "House" (WA0592) located at 1741 Bass Lake Road. This structure is described as a circa 1925 1.5 story
side gable Pram Craftsman/Bungalow. The status is listed as "Surveyed Only" and does not have a designated local status or HD status. This structure
is located to the north of the project area, and Will be buffered from the project by the existing homes and vegetation within the outparcels between the
project and the historic structure. Therefore, the proposed project will not impact historic resources.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-yearfloodplain?*
r Yes r No
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?*
