Name of Project: Highland Creek Subdivision County: Wake
Total project acreage: 320 (acres) Total built out impervious area: 115.97 (acres)
Nearest Named stream + River Basin (from USGS topo map): Tom's Creek, Neuse River Basin (03020201)
Please provide a brief description of this project (attach site plan if available):
A sanitary sewer line is proposed to service the southwestern sections of the Highland Creek Subdivision (Phases 2 &
4). Highland Creek Subdivision (Phases 2 & 4) is currently under construction and was issued a 401 Water Quality
Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River Buffer Protection Rules on March 6, 2006 (DWQ
Project # OS-1882). In addition, approval of the Stormwater Management Plan for Highland Creek Subdivision
(Phases 2 & 4) was issued on July 2, 2007 (DWQ Project # EXP OS-1882v4). Ori ig Wally the sanitary sewer line
servicing Phases 2 and 4 was located to the north of the phases. It has been determined that the original location was

not feasible due to topographic constraints. Therefore, a sanitary sewer line is proposed to cross Louisburg Road (SR
401) and Lowell Ridge Road located to the south of the subdivision. The sanitary sewer line will terminate at an
existin sanitary sewer easement located south of Louisburg Road. The proposed sanitary sewer line will be an fl-
inch ductile iron pipe and will cross a buffered unnamed tributary~Stream Feature "A") to the Neuse River
at a 94-de r~gle. The proposed sanitary sewer line will be an aerial crossing as it traverses Stream
Feature "A"with pipe supports constructed outside the top-of--bank of the stream. We are requesting Riparian
Buffer Approval for impacts associated with Neuse River Buffers.
Please attach a map of site location using USGS 1:24,000 map and county soil survey.
Location of project site -please include reference to the county, nearest name town and highway number:
The proposed sanitary sewer line is located south of the Highland Creek Subdivision at the intersection of Louisbure
Road (SR 401) and Lowell Ridge Road, south of the Rolesville, Wake County North Carolina.
Proposed impacts:
Acres of 404/401 wetlands
Acres of isolated wetlands
Linear feet of streams
Linear feet of isolated streams
2,000-sq.ft. (allowable use) Square feet of protected stream buffers
