Re: Green Hope Crossing Subdivision — NWP 29 PCN Submittal
W &R Project #0213oo63.00
Dear Mr. Lastinger and Ms. Higgins,
On behalf of Meritage Homes, we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP 29 for
0.472 acres of permanent wetland impacts, 0.023 acres of temporary wetland impacts, 269 if of
permanent stream impacts and 30 if of temporary stream impacts for construction of the proposed
project. We are also requesting a 401 WQC from NCDWR for the above referenced impacts.
Please note that the Town of Cary will be reviewing /approving the Buffer Authorization for buffer
impacts on this project.
The project is ±6o acres in size and is located at 73o1 Green Hope School Road, east of the
intersection of Interstate 54o and Green Hope School Road in Cary, Wake County (Latitude:
35.800619 °NN; Longitude: - 78.888625 0W). The project is located in the Cape Fear River basin
(03030002) and onsite waters drain to Batchelor Branch. The Water Quality Classification for
Batchelor Branch is WS -V; NSW and the Stream Index Number is: 16- 41- 6- 2 -(2).
Proposed Proiect
The proposed project consists of the construction of a 177 lot residential subdivision (Townhomes:
169 lots; Detached Single Family: 8 lots), a recreation center and associated infrastructure (i.e.
roads, utilities, stormwater management, parking for recreation center, etc).
Project History
Onsite wetlands were delineated by Withers and Ravenel in April 2013. Data forms and JD Forms are
included in support of our delineation and W &R is request issuance of the JD in conjunction with the
issuance of the NWP 29.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed impacts consist of 0.472 acres of permanent wetland impacts, 0.023 acres of
temporary wetland impacts, 269 if of permanent stream impacts and 30 if of temporary stream
impacts.
1410 Commonwealth Drive I Suite 1011 Wilmington, NC 28403 1 tel: [phone] fax: [phone]
www.withersravene[.com I License No. C -0832

The proposed 0.472 acres of permanent wetland impacts and 269 if of permanent stream impacts
will occur from construction of road crossings and parking for the recreation center.
The proposed 0.023 acres of temporary wetland impacts will occur from installation of a sewer
crossing (Impact #10) which will tie the proposed development to an existing sewer line to the
southeast of the project. The majority of the sewer crossing has been designed as an aerial line
across the wetlands. However, in order to achieve the necessary grade to tie into the existing
manhole, a portion of the sewer line within the wetlands must be trenched. Also, please note that
the entire 20' sewer easement will be maintained /mowed in perpetuity, resulting in 0.048 acres of
permanent conversion impacts as a result of conversion from forested wetlands to herbaceous
wetlands.
The proposed 30 if of temporary stream impacts (Impacts #4 & 8) will occur from construction of rip -
rap dissipater pads below the culverts for the road crossings. The rip -rap is a requirement by the NC
Division of Land Quality as a sediment and erosion control measure. The rip -rap dissipaters have
been designed so that the top of the installed rip -rap matches the pre- construction elevation of the
stream bed (see Rip -Rap Apron Detail on Sheets B &D). This design allows for the temporary stream
impact areas to continue functioning as a natural stream by maintaining natural water depths and
allowing for passage of aquatic life. W &R understands that while the Corps considers this design to
result in temporary impacts, NCDWR still considers this design as permanent impacts, which will be
reflected in the NCDWR 401 WQC.
Avoidance and Minimization
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 impacts have been minimized to only those impacts necessary to construct
roads to access developable uplands and required parking for the recreation center. Road crossings
have been designed to cross the wetlands at the most narrow points where possible, and to cross
streams at perpendicular angles. The alignment of the road at Impacts #6 & #7 was dictated by the
Town of Cary requirement to connect to the stub of the existing Piermont Drive within the Highcroft
Village Subdivision to the east. The alignment of the connection to Piermont Drive was designed to
avoid other onsite wetlands, but in order to meet minimum curve radii and still connect to the
existing stub, the alignment could not be shifted farther north to avoid the wetland impacts at
Impacts #6 & #7.
Please note that the wetland impacts for the entrance road (Impact #1) and recreation center parking
lot (Impact #11) will occur to herbaceous wetlands within a pasture which have a low functional
value due to disturbance from past agricultural operations.
Furthermore, rip -rap dissipaters have been designed so that the top of the installed rip -rap matches
the pre- construction elevation of the stream bed. This design allows for the temporarily impacted
stream areas to continue functioning as a natural stream by maintaining natural water depths and
allowing for passage of aquatic life.
Wetland impacts for the sewer crossing (Impact #10) have been minimized by designing the sewer
crossing to be primarily an aerial crossing, with only a small section of the sewer line trenched into
the wetlands.

Mitigation
Stream Mitigation
The applicant proposes to mitigate for the 269 if of permanent stream impacts at 2:1 ratio by
purchasing a total of 538 if of stream mitigation credits. W &R contacted mitigation banks within the
Cape Fear 03030002 basin, and Restoration Systems, LLC was the only mitigation bank with stream
credits available. However, Restoration Systems, LLC only has 448 if of stream credits available
within the Cripple Creek Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank. Therefore, the applicant will provide the
538 if of stream mitigation through the purchase of a combination of 487 if of stream credits from
Restoration Systems, LLC and 51 if of stream credits from EEP. Copies of the Letters of Availability
from Restoration Systems, LLC and EEP have been provided as an Appendix.
W &R acknowledges that NCDWR considers the 30 if of temporary stream impacts from the rip -rap
dissipaters (Impacts #4 & #8) to be permanent stream impacts, bringing the total permanent stream
impacts to 299 If. However, NCDWR requires stream mitigation at a 1:1 ratio, and therefore the
proposed 538 if of stream mitigation satisfies the NCDWR mitigation requirements and no additional
stream mitigation is proposed for the 30 if of stream impacts associated Impacts #4 & #8.
Wetland Mitigation
The applicant proposes to mitigate for the 0.472 acres of permanent wetland impacts through the
purchase of mitigation credits. Of the proposed 0.472 acres of permanent wetland impacts, 0.134
acres of impact (Impacts #1 & #11) will occur to a low quality herbaceous wetland within a pasture
which has been significantly disturbed by former cattle operations and periodic mowing. The LOW
functional value is documented in the attached NCWAM forms. Due to the low functional value of
the herbaceous wetlands, the applicant proposes to mitigate for the 0.134 acres of impacts at
Impact #1 & #11 at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the remaining 0.338
acres of permanent wetland impacts at a 2:1 mitigation ratio.

W &R contacted mitigation banks within the Cape Fear 03030002 basin, and Restoration Systems,
LLC was the only mitigation bank with riparian wetland credits available. However, Restoration
Systems, LLC did not have o.81 acres of riparian wetland credits available within the Cripple Creek
Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank. Therefore, the applicant will provide the o.81 acres of riparian
wetland mitigation through the purchase of a combination of 0.56 acres of riparian wetland
mitigation credits from Restoration Systems, LLC and 0.25 acres of riparian wetland credits from EEP.
Copies of the Letters of Availability from Restoration Systems, LLC and EEP have been provided as an
Appendix.
The applicant does not propose mitigation for the 0.048 acres of permanent conversion impacts
from the sewer crossing (Impact #12) since the permanent conversion impacts are less than o.10
acres.

Proposed impacts have been minimized to only those impacts necessary to construct roads to access developable uplands.
Road crossings have been designed to cross the wetlands at the most narrow points where possible, and to cross streams at
perpendicular angles. The alignment of the road at Impacts #6 & #7 was dictated by the requirement to connect to the stub of
the existing Piermont Drive within the Highcroft Village Subdivision to the east. The alignment of the connection to Piermont
Drive was designed to avoid other onsite wetlands, but in order to meet minimum curve radii and still connect to the existing
stub the alignment could not be shifted farther north to avoid the wetland impacts at Impacts #6 & #7.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Rip -rap dissipaters have been designed so that the top of the installed rip -rap matches the pre- construction elevation of the
