4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
NCDEQ has determined two reaches to be subject to Neuse Riparian Buffers, which one of is downstream of a dammed pond on the northern adjacent property. Wetlands have been
determined and staked on the property and are shown on the plans. The Site Plan design has the driveway crossing the reach in between two wetlands. A Flood study was performed for
the purpose of ensuring the overall drainage area for this site does not impede downstream or off site locations.
As this property has a significant stream on the southern side of the property the outfall of this area has a significantly big drainage area. The development of the property to a private
residence does not increase the Peak Q of drainage of the perennial stream called out as stream "A (Rocky Branch)" in the Buffer Determination Letter (DWR RRO #20-245) and
according to FRIS it is Basin 10, Stream 6. The increase in impervious is superfluous to the area that is in this drainage area and in the calculation for the rational method, as well as the
SCS method we find that the co -efficient and the curve number does not increase. This stream does have a square mile of drainage along the southern property line and on sheet 4 and
HEC-RAS (1) from Fris, you will see the floodplain associated with this and though the limits of the FEMA floodway does encroach into our access point, there is no concerns of impeding
the water path, location, or elevation as the elevation of the floodway for this stream does not get within 500' of our access location. The location of the limits of FEMA Zone X: 1 % Future
Conditions and the FEMA Zone AE: Floodway, 1 % Annual was taken from the shapefile in the FRIS Data Base.
The other concern of flooding as there is wetlands in the area of our access location and a cross pipe under Edgemont Road immediately south of our driveway that has a contributing
area of 21.76 acres draining through this pipe but as the outlet of this existing pipe is 2.1' lower and has 12" of freeboard from the 100 yr. flood than our proposed driveway pipe there is no
interference with the property's driveway grading. See sheet 5 for more details and the HEC-RAS (2) Driveway Entrance.
Existing and Proposed for the full detail. We have illustrated the findings on sheet 6 of the plans where the light blue line denotes the existing HGL and the dark blue line denotes the
proposed HGL. You will note that the water elevation does increase slightly at the headwall but going through the pipes increases its velocity and loses that raise in elevation. There are
points on the profile that relates to the HEC-RAS where we confirm that there was no raise in elevation (or decrease) at these locations.
As for the Nitrogen/Phosphorus level and treatment, they both are below the threshold for not needing to treat any storm water, see snap tool. According to the old Wake County Hybrid
Storm Tool, I used the woods and lawn under residential and applied it to the SNAP tool where custom 1 is woods and have a TN of 1.47 mg/L and TP of 0.25 mg/L and custom 2 is lawn
and have a TN of 2.24 mg/L and TP of 0.44 mg/L. Once that was inputted then we see that all the results are sufficient to not need a SCM. Without using these numbers the land, itself
without an impervious indicates it will need a significant SCM to reduce the TP of the pervious grade covering which did not make since.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
Yes No Unknown
4b(2). Is Any Portion of the Work Already Complete?*
Yes No
If yes, describe the completed work
4c. List of Other Certificates or Approvals/Denials received from other Federal, State, or Local Agencies for Work Described in This Application. not related to the 404 or 401.
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
2.81
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
Perennial = 1,266' 11 Intermittent = 458' 11 Total = 1,724'
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The owner of this property wants to build his private residence on this 15.15-acre tract consisting of two impervious structures totaling 8,770+/- with one driveway. The property is in the
Falls Lake Watershed and is zoned R-40W.
The main concern is the crossing passing through the (2) 36" culverts designed for this driveway plan and not have any water backing up onto the adjacent properties. See the enclose
HEC-RAS (3) Crossing reports Page 4 of 10.
We have added an erosion control sheet where it will consist of clean water diversion berms and silt fence with silt fence outlets, each silt fence outlet has less than 0.25 acres of area
draining to them.

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *

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:
using Tree Protection Fence to limit the boundary as well as silt fence, we are using headwalls on either end of the pipes to reduce the slope
encroaching up and down stream, as well we are using two smaller pipe in lieu of one big pipe so the headwall will be longer and the fill will not be so
high to keep the side slopes at a minimum
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The contractor would be best to answer this.

Hi Bryan,
If it falls under the deemed allowable uses [15A NCAC 02B.0714(11)(y)(i) - perpendicular road crossing with impact equal to or less than one -tenth of an acre of riparian buffer], you do not
need to submit an application for a written authorization from us. I hope this helps answer your question.

Erin / Chonticha,
I have a question about an intermittent stream that we are wanting to cross with a Driveway. I have attached the plans and the stream determination letter (stream B) for reference only (not
for submitting now). My questions are:
Do I need to proceed with a PCN application for something in the General Statute 15A NCAC 026.0714 (11) (y) (i) is deemed allowable: if so,
Does this have to be seal and signed by a soil scientist...
Does a Geo-technical Scientist or a geo-technical engineer count orjust a plain engineer such as myself?
Do I need to get the USACoE involved?
The USFWS involved?
