4. Project Description and History
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:*
The site is currently undeveloped. The northern half of the site is forested and the southern half is mostly cleared with a dirt road providing access throughout it. An easement provides
access to the site from Gordon Road. Swamp forest wetlands exist in the northern part of the site and eventually connect to Smith Creek off site. Vegetation in the wetlands consists of a
canopy of red maple, black gum, and sweetgum with fetterbush and red bay in the shrub layer. Uplands are either cleared or support a mix of loblolly pines, water oak and sweet gum.
Several ditches are also present on site.
Adjacent land use is residential to the north, east, and south. Commercial development is located to the west of the site.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.7
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
N/A
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to address an affordable housing inventory shortage in the region. Estrella Landing Apartments will provide a multifamily residential development for low- and
middle -income households.
Permanent wetland and jurisdictional ditch impacts are needed for site grading and development. Temporary wetland impacts are needed to install a sewer line.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The proposed activity includes the construction of a new multifamily, affordable housing project consisting of three apartment buildings containing 84 apartment units, one clubhouse
building, a storm water retention pond, play area, picnic pavilion, paved parking areas and landscaped areas.
The limits of disturbance will be cleared of vegetation and erosion control measures will be installed. Roadways and utilities will be installed. Then buildings will be constructed. The project
proposes to permanently impact 0.015 acre of jurisdictional ditch and 0.075 acre of wetlands for site development. Of this, 0.022 acre of the permanent wetland impact will be within a 100-
year floodplain. Additionally, 0.025 acre of temporary wetland impact is needed to install a sewer line. These wetlands will be restored back to grade and seeded once the line is installed.
However, the easement will need to periodically be maintained.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Speciflcally describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Wetland impacts were minimized as much as possible during site design. The only wetland impact is to a crenulation that extends into the site. Avoiding
this area while still maintaining an economically viable project that also meets the affordable housing needs of the community was not possible. Also
note that reductions in impacts have been made during the site design process. The sewer line on the original site plan (dated 3/22/2021) prepared by
Paramounte for the Special Use Permit Rezoning would have crossed a stream (northern property line follows the stream) and then proceed south
through a large area of the wetland and floodplain. This route would not only create wetland and floodplain impacts totaling approximately 4,500 SF (150
LF manhole to manhole by 30 LF for construction and easement) but would require a stream impact as well. The revised (and currently proposed)
alignment of the sanitary sewer service illustrated in the Stroud site plan utilizes an existing 20' Private Utility Easement that crosses the property to the
west. This route is almost entirely outside the 100-Year floodplain and wetland area and requires no impacts to streams.
lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
An sediment and erosion control permit will be obtained and implemented prior to any construction. Additionally, a retaining wall is proposed around a
portion of the stormwater pond to reduce impacts to wetlands.
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?
O Yes U No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.1 acre. The temporary wetland impact needed for the sewer line easement will be restored back to grade. Only periodic vegetative
maintenance will be conducted.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)

1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
O Yes O No
If no, explain why:
Site is located within the Cape Fear River Basin.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250? *

Location description:The project area is located at 4615 Gordon Road in Wilmington.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
❑ There appear to be waters,including wetlands on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).The
waters,including wetlands have been delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable.The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE.Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining compensatory
mitigation.For purposes of computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other resource protection
measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S.This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part 331).However,you may
request an approved JD,which is an appealable action,by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters,including wetlands on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).
However,since the waters,including wetlands have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters,including wetlands at the project area,which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision.We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated.As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.

Re: Estrella Landing Apartments—New Hanover County
Dear Mrs. Gievers:
This letter is to inform you that the Service has established an on-line project planning and
consultation process which assists developers and consultants in determining whether a
federally-listed species or designated critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For
future projects, please visit the Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at
https://www.fws.gov/office/eastern-north-carolina/project-planning-and-consultation. If you are
only searching for a list of species that may be present in the project's Action Area, then you
may use the Service's Information,Planning, and Consultation System (IPaC)website to
determine if any listed,proposed,or candidate species may be present in the Action Area and
generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed at https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/.
The IPaC web site contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and
threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concerns that are known to
occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, ensure that any action federally authorized,
funded,or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
1 The term "federal species of concern"refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation
does not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or
threatened species. However,we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse
impacts to federal species of concern.

species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at https://fws.gov/office/eastern-north-carolina.
Please check the web site often for updated information or changes.
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect(i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect)a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct,indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect(i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect)on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However,you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect,the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above-referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with,provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally-listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2)this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down-gradient surface waters. In addition,we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC)has developed a Guidance
Memorandum (found at https://www.ncwildlife.org/Conserving/Learn-Resources/Ways-to-

Conserve) to address and mitigate secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial
wildlife resources and water quality. We recommend that you consider this document and the
NCWRC's other conservation recommendations in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).
We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at
[phone] ext. 26.

ESTRELLA LANDING APARTMENTS
4615 GORDON ROAD
WILMINGTON,NORTH CAROLINA 28411
NEW HANOVER COUNTY,NORTH CAROLINA
March 13,2022
To: All Interested Agencies,Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the N.C. Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR) has received an
application from Estrella Landing Apartments, LLC to use Community Development Block Grant —
Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding from the Affordable Housing Development Fund Program to
construct the Estrella Landing Apartments (hereinafter, the "Proposed Activity") and is conducting an
evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and Executive Order 11990 in accordance with U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations (24 CFR Part 55). There are three
primary purposes for this notice. First, to provide the public an opportunity to express concerns and
share information about the Proposed Activity, including alternative locations outside of the floodplain
and wetland. Second, adequate public notice is an important public education tool. The dissemination
of information about floodplains and wetlands supports government efforts to reduce the risks associated
with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the
government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains and wetlands, it must
inform people who may be put at greater or continued risk by the Proposed Activity. Funding for the
Proposed Activity will be provided,in part, by the HUD CDBG-DR program for Hurricane Florence
storm recovery activities in North Carolina.
The Proposed Activity is needed to address an affordable housing inventory shortage, which was
exacerbated by the impacts of Hurricanes Matthew (Oct. 8, 2016) and Florence (Sept. 14, 2018), when
hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed. Estrella Landings Apartments will provide a multifamily
residential development for low- and middle-income households. The Proposed Activity will assist the
City of Wilmington and New Hanover County to provide affordable housing options for the local
community.
The Proposed Activity entails construction of a new multifamily,affordable housing project consisting of
three apaitinent buildings containing 84 apartment units,one clubhouse building,a storm water retention
pond, play area, picnic pavilion, paved parking areas and landscaped areas. The proposed development

will occur on an approximate 5.71-acre tract located at 4615 Gordon Road in Wilmington,New Hanover
County,North Carolina.
The Proposed Activity will result in temporary impacts to 0.095 acres of a 100-year floodplain and 0.057
acres of National Wetlands Inventory-mapped wetlands. The Proposed Activity will result in permanent
impacts to 0.140 acres of the 100-year floodplain and 0.094 acres of NWI-mapped wetlands. These
impacts will consist of: utility installation to provide gravity, sanitary sewer service to the subject
development through an existing,recorded utility easement; stormwater management device installation,
which includes the proposed wet pond and pipe outlet;and fill and grading for the proposed buildings and
parking areas to maintain handicap accessibility throughout the site.

Dear Ms. Best:
I have attached the NEPA Draft EA for the proposed Estrella Landing Apartments project. The North Carolina Office of
Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR)as a recipient of Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery(CDBG-DR)
funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) is considering funding this
proposed affordable housing project, Estrella Landing Apartments,4615 Gordon Road,Wilmington, New Hanover
County, North Carolina 28411. The proposed project involves the construction of three apartment buildings containing
84 apartment units, one clubhouse building, a storm water/retention pond, paved parking areas, and landscaped areas.

Hello:
I corrected the cover page and added the Coastal Zone Consistency email. It will be reviewed by the
NC Agencies for 30 days. If we look tomorrow, Crystal should have it posted here -
https://clearinghouse.nc.gov/SCH/EnvironmentalReview. As discussed, I will send the edited EA
soon over to Matt so he can edit while they are reviewing. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Best:
I have attached the NEPA Draft EA for the proposed Estrella Landing Apartments project. The North
Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency(NCORR) as a recipient of Community Development Block
Grant— Disaster Recovery(CDBG-DR)funds from the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) is considering funding this proposed affordable housing project, Estrella
Landing Apartments,4615 Gordon Road,Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina

apartment units, one clubhouse building, a storm water/retention pond, paved parking areas, and
landscaped areas.
The site is comprised of an approximate 5.71-acre tract consisting of two parcels. The first parcel is
the main area of the site and the second parcel is a 60-foot access and utility easement. The main
parcel is identified by the New Hanover County GIS website as Parcel ID 314914.24.9298.000. The
second easement parcel is identified as Parcel ID 314914.23.7837.000. The site is located in an area
of the county that can generally be described as residential and commercial. Surrounding properties
contain commercial properties, a gasoline station, a church facility and residential properties. The
proposed development will provide affordable housing for low and middle income families in the
local community.
