The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a residential subdivision and associated infrastructure to meet the demand for housing in this part of Wake County, NC
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:"
The proposed project consists of approximately 30 single-family townhome units, roadway infrastructure and necessary stormwater/diffuse flow devices. A single road crossing is proposed
to access the usable upland portions of the site from the existing roadway south of the project. This crossing will result in permanent wetland, stream and riparian buffer impacts. The
roadway stubs out at the eastern and western property lines as required by Wake County. Utilities for the proposed project will connect to existing utility lines adjacent to and existing on
the Site. Heavy equipment typically used for residential construction (e.g. backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Proposed road crossing is aligned to cross channel as perpendicularly as possible. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. Lots were
positioned to avoid fill in wetlands, streams and buffers. Stormwater ouffalls were designed to minimize impacts to riparian areas. Construction fencing
will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection
from stormwater runoff.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing
and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into the stream and wetland areas.
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?
Yes No

N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
3. Stormwater Requirements

3a. Select whether a completed stormwater management plan (SMP) is included for review and approval or if calculations are provided to document the project will not cause degradation of
downstream surface waters.*
Stormwater Management Plan Antidegradation Calculations
Comments:
The stormwater management plan will be reviewed and approved by the locally delegated authority. The applicant requests the 401 Certification approval be conditioned to require the
stormwater management plan be approved before any impacts may be conducted.
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federallstatellocal) funds or the use of public (federallstate) 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.
Per the NC DWQ April 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale residential development projects have a "low potential for cumulative
impact" since the project already in a developed landscape (i.e. existing residences and development in the vicinity) and the area already contains the
necessary infrastructure (i.e. sewer, water, electricity, etc.). The project drains to Crabtree Creek, which is Class C; Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW),
(i.e. not HQW or ORW). We anticipate the NCDWR will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative analysis 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
treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
The subdivision will tie into existing sewer lines adjacent to the Site.
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?*
Yes No
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?*
Yes No
5d. Is another Federal agency involved?*
Yes No Unknown
5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8?

Yes 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.?
Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
On December 16, 2021, we received correspondence from NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP). Based upon their review, no federally listed T&E
species are documented on the Site or within 1.0-mile of the Site.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?
Yes No

6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?"
The proposed project is in Wake County which is not near any coastal or tidal habitat which would support EFH (i.e., salt marshes, oyster reefs, etc.).
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?*
Yes No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?"
We reviewed the NC State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO) database. The Site is not listed as a historic property or within a historic district. No
historic structures were found on the Site. One hundred sixteen properties are listed within 1.0 mile of the Site.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?'�
Yes No
