(Reference USACE Action ID Number 200520934 and DWQ Project # 05-0949.) Dear Mr. Tugwell: Enclosed are the required Individual Permit application forms with attendant justification on minimization, avoidance and compensatory mitigation. The proposed project will impact 2.4 acres of non-riverine wetlands located on lots 18 and 19 of the Partners Equity Group subdivision. Avoidance We find ourselves caught in a "Catch 22" situation, as the prospective buyer requires regulatory authorization prior to preparing and submitting engineered site plans and of course prior to purchase of the subject lots. The buyer does not want to incur the costs associated with submitting specific site design plans and storm water design plans without knowing that the subject lots can be approved for use. The site plan will result in 80% impervious area, from parking lot and building footprints. The remaining 20% of ground surface could contain most of the wetland area. Generally, on could assume that total avoidance of the small wetland area in question will not be feasible or practicable on these lots. When the original Nationwide 26 was issued, Mr. Shallcross proceeded to develop the property, without clearly understanding the difficulties this would cause. The Nationwide 26 should have been issued for the entire impacts, once he had demonstrated avoidance and minimization, and provided adequate mitigation. Even with the total cumulative impacts considered, the impacts still would have been permissible under Nationwide 26 in 1994. Page 2. Alternative Sites The subject property (approximately 45 acres) does have several undeveloped upland lots, but they have been sold or optioned to other developers. The subject lots (18 and 19) are prime development property as they have road frontage on the existing service road. The other lots do not have the visibility that commercial businesses prefer for exposure to traffic on Industrial Park Road. Immediate access to the 195 interchange and exits, and exposure to the traffic to and from the existing Outlet Malls and other existing retail stores is an obvious asset to the subject lots with road frontage on the service road. There are no other available properties with this unique combination of proximal location and high visibility road frontage. In 1994, there may have been other potential properties, but the Smithfield tax records do not show past ownership records. Any other alternative sites in this area, within similar distances from the 195 interchange, would have the same issues with wetland avoidance. Study of the USDA Soil Survey for Johnston County shows extensive areas of hydric soils in this area, which may not all be jurisdictional wetlands, but which illustrates the lack of available upland sites. (Exhibit A.) Alternative sites may have been available in 1994 when the subject site was developed. None of them would have had the road frontage or exposure provided by the specific location of the subject property. Since the wetlands on the subject site are common in this area, it would have been difficult to find an alternate property that did not have similar potential wetland impacts. The area is predominantly wet flats with Rains or Grantham hydric soils, which may or may not have adequate hydrology to be called jurisdictional wetlands. Examination of a 1994 aerial photograph (Exhibit B.) shows significantly less development in the project vicinity than the 2005 aerial photograph, as would be expected. (Exhibit C.) However, significant impacts to wetland areas have occurred in this area over time. The functions and values associated with wet flats which are somewhat isolated by roads and adjacent development are marginal at best. They provide minimal storm water detention, sediment detention, wildlife habitat or aesthetic value or water quality improvement or protection functions. The real need in this area, with the amount of developed, impermeable area in place, is for storm water treatment and wet detention basins. Road Placement When Mr. Shallcross initially developed the property, he was required by the town of Smithfield and by the North Carolina Department of Transportation to build on a specific road alignment, in order to provide safe ingress and egress to and from his property. He was required to place the new road in a specific location, and to build loop or "U" shaped road in order to provide two entrances or exits so th t traffic from the subject property would be less concentrated at those entry points. There was really only one way to efficiently configure the lots around the required road layout. This did not provide optimal avoidance options for the wetland area located on lots 18 and 19. It was then not practicable nor was it feasible to configure the lots so as to avoid the wetland, without significant financial loss by Mr. Shallcross. Page 3. Mitigation Conceptual mitigation is proposed for on-site or off-site mitigation, or provided via the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) with payment of in-lieu fees. (In lieu fee mitigation review has been initiated with EEP. Approval letter to follow.) There is currently a stream restoration project initiated by EEP on Buffalo Creek, adjacent to the subject property. As an extension of the immediate water shed for that project, it is our opinion that a coordinated effort to address storm water treatment and storm water detention needs on this and other nearby properties would accomplish more for the water shed in terms of water quality improvement than this isolated wetland ever could. By copy of this letter we also submit this Individual Permit application to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for review and certification. We have included two paper copies for each agency office. If more copies are needed, please contact me at (919) 418-7645. We appreciate your attention in this matter. If you have any questions or need any additional information, do not hesitate to contact Ms. Robin Little at (919) 418-7645 or Mr. John Shallcross at (919) 934-3852. We look forward to a timely and productive resolution to this matter. Sincerely, 1kk4* Robin M. Little Cc: Ms. Cyndi Karoly Mr. John Shallcross, Jr. 0 Y•`'h+la, Ls. r fr: p: Y Tt a?'
