E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
S&EC completed and wetland delineation and Neuse River buffer evaluation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts
could be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Impact 1 is proposed permanent stream and permanent buffer impacts for a road
crossing. This road crossing is necessary to provide access to the entire eastern portion of the property. A riprap dissipator that will be utilized to reduce
flow velocities and minimize stream degradation. End walls have been utilized to minimize stream impacts. A temporary diversion pump, coffer dams,
dewatering pump, and discharge hose will be utilized during construction to divert stream flows and minimize the release of sediments during
construction activities. Impact 2 is proposed permanent and temporary stream impacts and permanent buffer impacts for a road crossing. This road
crossing is necessary to connect the northern portion of the development with the southern portion. A riprap dissipator that will be utilized to reduce flow
velocities and minimize stream degradation. End walls have been utilized to minimize stream impacts. A temporary diversion pump, coffer dams,
dewatering pump, and discharge hose will be utilized during construction to divert stream flows and minimize the release of sediments during
construction activities. Impact 3 is a proposed utility crossing with temporary stream impacts. The crossing will occur perpendicular to the stream to
minimize impacts to the maximum extent practicable. Per the Neuse River buffer rules and the design of the crossing, buffer impacts are considered
"deemed allowable".
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Measures taken to avoid/minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques include cofferdams and pump around.

G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?
Yes No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *
Yes No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? *
Yes No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs" document
prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause
cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and
silvicultural operations. The Comet Raleigh Apartments project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within the town of Wake
Forest ETJ, therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the
Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian buffer area, in addition Best
Management Practices may be required that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved; 2) the Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit Program, this
program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition to post -construction stormwater
management requirements. We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed.

4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
Yes No N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a

The NC Natural Heritage Programs Data Explorer Map was used to search for elemental occurrences of federally protected species listed within and
within 1-mile of the project boundaries. It was determined based on the search that there are no elemental occurrences that are listed as federally
Threatened/Endangered within or within 1-mile of the project boundaries. References: NC Natural Heritage Program. 2021. Geographic Information
