The Preserve at White Oak Creek project is a planned residential development consisting of single and multi - family homes and a recreational center. Open space and adequate room for stormwater BMPs have been reserved throughout the site to provide environmental protections and a high quality of life for residents. The project will help to meet the high demand for residences around the Town of Apex. The attached PCN form provides information for use in your review of the impacts to streams and wetlands associated with this site. Supplemental information is provided in this cover letter including a detailed breakdown of proposed impacts and mitigation. Additional information is contained in the attachments including a Project Information Sheet, Pre - Construction Notification form, Vicinity map, USGS map, NRCS Soil Survey map, and Impact Locations map. BNK has provided the attached overall site plan (Sheet C.1.1) and wetland and stream impact drawings for your review of this project. Proposed Impacts and Mitigation Based on prior conversations with you and NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) staff and our review of the proposed impacts, it is our professional opinion that the project qualifies for a Nationwide Permit 29 and General Certification 3890. Please note that Impact Site C (PCN Impact S3) was determined to be a jurisdictional stream lacking significant aquatic function. Therefore, the impacts to this channel, 129 linear feet, are not considered to count toward the threshold for the Nationwide Permit 29. Total linear footage of impacts to streams with important aquatic function for this project is 287 linear feet. Impacts to waters of the U.S. total 416 linear feet of stream impacts and 0.19 acres of wetland impacts. A breakdown of permanent and temporary impacts is provided in the attached Site Impacts and Mitigation tables, along with Mr James Lastinger Page 2 of 3 January 22, 2014 proposed mitigation based on our discussions during the field verification visit Permanent stream impacts include linear footage of stream within culvert areas and riprap outlet protection areas Permanent wetland impacts include roadway and embankment fill to the toe of slopes, and permanently maintained sewer corridor Temporary wetland impacts include areas needed for construction access and installation of erosion and sediment control measures These temporary impact areas will be restored to pre - construction grades and stabilized using appropriate annual species or a wetland seed mix Impact site C (PCN S3) was determined during field verification to not exhibit significant aquatic function Therefore, no mitigation is proposed to satisfy Nationwide 29 requirements for this channel However, NCDWR will require I 1 mitigation for this impact. As impact site A (PCN S 1) was determined to be a perennial stream, requiring 2.1 mitigation by your standards and 1 • I by NCDWR, the overall total for mitigation is similar and compensatory mitigation has been requested to satisfy the larger amount of 439 mitigation units No mitigation banks with available credits are present within the same basin as this project Therefore a request for mitigation from the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program was made, and the approval is attached. As the construction of this project will be phased, the compensatory mitigation payments are proposed to be phased as well Payment will be made to compensate for all Phase 1 impacts prior to construction in those areas Similarly, payment will be made for all Phase 2 impacts prior to construction Proof of payment for each phase will be forwarded upon receipt and prior to construction The phasing is shown on the attached Site Impacts and Mitigation table Riparian Buffers & Stormwater Management The Town of Apex has authority under the Jordan Lake watershed rules for the review of riparian buffer impacts and stormwater management plans A No Practical Alternatives Demonstration is being submitted to the Town concurrently with this permit application for their approval of the proposed buffer impacts, which are provided for informational purposes on the impact drawings in this application The general location of BMPs has been provided in the attached site plan. Final design of these measures, along with associated forms and documentation, will be submitted to the Town for review. Approval of the stormwater management plan for the site will be forwarded to NCDWR prior to construction in each phase of the project If you have any questions or need additional information please contact me at your earliest convenience at (919) 606 -1065 or phil may @carolinaeco com Mr. James Lastmger January 22, 2014 Sincerely, Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. 1 Philip May Senior Environmental Scientist cc Jennifer Burdette, NCDWR 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit J Adam Ashbaugh, P E, AICP, LEED AP, Raleigh Land Fund 1, LLC Robbie Bell, P E, Bass Nixon Kennedy, Inc Page 3 of 3 TABLE I SITE IMPACTS & MITIGATION THE PRESERVE AT WHITE OAK CREEK Streams all units are linear feet Impact, nea ion 11 Permanent R-'��I,empora ""'Orr 1.41 zq SqMv..q-, -AchELsjQAq -Acr s, Acres `�'-'-' tt�&;_ e� I r Ratio* 'M Pr6p�ose d'"1v M ' itig'ation —PCN:k0 Site mp ' D W2 I WF 3983 009 3525 008 458 001 2 7050 016 ,R �W A S1 I SA 152 152 0 2 1 304 152 B S2 2 SG 135 135 0 1 1 135 135 C S3 1 SD 1 129 129 0 1 0 1 1 0 129 Totals 1 416 416 0 1 1 439 416 * Mitigation ratios based on conversations during field verification Wetlands I pact ,,, De� Anea-6 e 0 IM FD 6,711 SI Muk 11 Permanent R-'��I,empora ""'Orr 1.41 zq SqMv..q-, -AchELsjQAq -Acr s, Acres `�'-'-' tt�&;_ e� Mit, I Ratio B W1 2 WIL, WO, WP 3221 007 2748 006 473 001 2 5496 013 D W2 I WF 3983 009 3525 008 458 001 2 7050 016 E W3 1 WG 101 000 101 000 0 000 2 202 000 F W4 2 WN 367 001 296 001 71 000 2 592 001 G W5 I WQ 142 000 142 000 0 000 1 142 000 H W6 I WE 73 000 73 000 0 000 2 146 000 11 W6 I WF 316 001 316 001 0 000 2 632 001 ITotals 7814 019 7201 017 1002 002 14260 033 *Impact acreage rounded to 0 01 increments Totals and mitigation are based on total square footage ** Mitigation provided for permanent impacts related to construction and permanent maintained sewer corridor Buffers* all impacts are in square feet act "PCN i, I ��' Y-, OITA i pi 6 TXffe'lineation!:51 i(ri—P XT' Z p W1 mp D, 'ffifi&lo n !Wj�i as e pa� li C Total ;we Typek::O' Status IN, I 31 i Im A NA I SA 11,900 7,478 4,422 Road Allowable None required B NA 2 SG 12,339 7,706 4,633 Road Allowable None required C NA I SD 10,785 7,007 3,778 Road Allowable None required i 135,024 22,191 12,8331 1 * Included for informational purposes only Jordan Lake buffer impacts to be permitted through the Town of Apex ids i� L 8 s Project Information Sheet Project Name The Preserve at White Oak Creek Name of Property Owner /Applicant Raleigh Land Fund 1, LLC Consultant/Agent Carolina Ecosystems, Inc Related /Previous Action IDs None Site Address N/A Subdivision Name (if applicable) N/A City Apex, NC County Wake County Lat 35 7553 Long -78 9087 3040 NC 42 West, Clayton, NC 27520 P 919 - 606 -1065 — F 919 -585 -5570 Date 1/22/14 USGS Quadrangle(s) Green Level and New Hill River Basin(s) Cape Fear 8 -Digit HUC(s) 03030002 Nearest Stream(s) White Oak Creek Directions to Site From Raleigh, take US -1 S /US -64 W heading toward Apex Take exit 98B to US- 64 W Turn right on to NC- 1600 /Green Level Church Rd Turn left on to Jenks Rd and proceed about 1 mile to the Site Requested Action ❑ Pre - application Request ❑ Jurisdictional Determination Request ❑ Final ❑ Preliminary ® Permit Application ® Nationwide 29 ❑ General ❑ Individual ot WA r > .y O � Office Use Only Corps action ID no DWQ project no Form Version 1 3 Dec 10 2008 Page 1 of 11 PCN Form — Version 1 3 December 10, 2008 Version Pre - Construction Notification PCN) Form A.
