We are also requesting a 401 WQC from NCDWR for the above referenced impacts. The project is ±9.25 acres in size and consists of two parcels (PIN 0756848107 & 0756930835) located at 3801 & 3901 Gateway Centre Blvd, in Cary, Wake County (Latitude: 35.848852 1N; Longitude: - 78.80124"W). The project is located in the Neuse River basin (HUC 03020201) and the site drains to Brier Creek. The Water Quality Classification for Brier Creek is C; NSW and the Stream Index Number is: 27-33-4• Proposed Proiect The proposed project consists of the construction of a Restaurant Depot, which is a wholesale food equipment and supply business that sells exclusively to restaurants. The project will consist of the construction of a 59,613 sq ft warehouse sales building, parking, a perimeter road for tractor trailer access, stormwater management facilities and utilities. Proiect Histo Onsite wetlands were delineated by Withers and Ravenel in June 2014 and a Preliminary JD Request was submitted to the Corps on June 30, 2014. David Shaeffer with the Corps of Engineers conducted a site visit on July 8, 2014 for the Jurisdictional Determination (SAW - 2014- 01203). We are requesting issuance of the Preliminary JD in conjunction with issuance of the NWP 39• NCDWR issued a formal Buffer Determination for the site on October 30, 2013 (NBRRO #13- 317)• A copy of the Buffer Determination Letter has been provided as an Appendix. 1410 Commonwealth Drive I Suite 1011 Wilmington, NC 28403 1 tel: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 www.withersravenet.com I License No. C -0832 Restaurant Depot — Gateway Centre Blvd — Cary, Wake County Proposed Impacts The proposed impacts consist of 0.3o acres of permanent wetland impacts for construction of the proposed project. The proposed wetland impacts will result from the construction the associated parking area, as well as the perimeter road. The primary function of the perimeter road will be for tractor trailer access to the rear of the building for deliveries and shipments. The perimeter road will also separate the tractor trailer traffic from the customer traffic to minimize safety issues. Please note that while it appears that the construction of the northern BMP will require wetland impacts, this area of wetlands would be entirely impacted by the construction of the perimeter road, regardless of the placement of the BMP. Therefore, there are no wetland impacts specific to the construction of the northern BMP. Avoidance and Minimization Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized. The site plan has been designed to meet the minimum zoning requirements (i.e. parking space counts, setbacks, etc) in order to shrink the footprint of the proposed project in an effort to minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. The perimeter road will require the majority of the proposed permanent wetland impacts. The perimeter road is necessary to allow for tractor trailer access to the rear of the building for shipments and deliveries, as well as to keep the tractor trailer traffic and customer traffic separate to avoid safety concerns. Also, the perimeter road has been designed with curve radii that allow for easy navigation by tractor trailers. The proposed impacts will occur to emergent freshwater marsh wetlands which have formed within the onsite non - jurisdictional pond constructed in uplands, which were determined to be jurisdictional at the Corps site meeting on 7/8/14. These wetlands have formed within the shallow areas of the onsite non - jurisdictional pond as a result of low water levels due to a leak in the dam and are not a natural wetland system. The loss of functional value from the proposed permanent wetland impacts will be mitigated through the purchase of offsite credits within a larger, regionally significant mitigation bank. Since the herbaceous wetlands have the shortest timeframes for successful creation /restoration within mitigation banks, there will be minimal temporal loss of wetland function. Mitigation In email correspondence dated July 10, 2014, David Shaeffer with the Corps of Engineers confirmed that a 1:1 mitigation ratio for the proposed wetland impacts was acceptable. Therefore, the applicant proposes mitigate for the proposed 0.3o acres of permanent wetland impacts through the purchase of 0.3o acres of riparian wetland mitigation credits WITHERS , RAVENEL Page 2 of 3 ENGINEERS I PLANNERS I SURVEYORS Restaurant Depot — Gateway Centre Blvd — Cary, Wake County from EBX within the Neu -Con Stream Umbrella Mitigation Bank (Cox II Site). A copy of the Letter of Reservation from EBX has been provided as an Appendix. Stormwater Management Plan The stormwater management plan consists of two wet detention ponds designed for go% TSS removal. The stormwater management plan will be reviewed /approved by the Town of Cary, and will receive final approval upon issuance of the 404/401 authorization. The current request is for 0.3o acres of permanent wetland impacts (see the attached maps and PCN for details). Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.

Town of Cary Sanitary Sewer Page 10 of 12 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or ❑ Yes ® No habitat? 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act ❑ Yes ® No impacts? E] Raleigh 5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. ❑ Asheville 5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? W &R reviewed the NC Natural Heritage Program database, located at http: / /www.ncnhp.org /web /nhp /database- search, as well as NCNHP GIS data to identify if there were any known occurrences of endangered species on or near the proposed project. The review of the NHP data did not identify any recent occurrences of federally listed threatened or endangered species or critical habitat on the subject property or within 1.0 miles of the project. Furthermore, site reviews did not identify any potential habitat for any federally protected species known to occur in Wake County. The NCNHP GIS data did identify a known bald eagle nest (Nest ID: Wake #1), which is federally protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The Wake #1 nest is located along the eastern shore of Lake Crabtree at Latitude: 35.8451'N, Longitude: - 78.8042 °W, which is approximately 1500 If (0.28 miles) west of the proposed project. Based on the NCNHP GIS data, this nest was last active in 2009. Due to the existing development and dense forest between the proposed project and the Wake #1 eagle nest, the construction activities associated the proposed project will not be visible from the eagle nest. Per the USFWS 2007 National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines and the "Bald Eagle Management Guidelines and Conservation Measures Determination webpage, located at: http:// www. fws .gov /southeast/es /baldeagle /, the proposed is not anticipated to disturb the Wake #1 nest since A) the nest is not visible from the project or activity area; B) there will be a buffer in excess of 660 If between the project site and the eagle nest. Therefore, the proposed project will have "No Effect" on the Wake #1 eagle nest. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ❑ Yes ® No 6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat? There are no waters in Wake County classified as EFH. 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 ❑ Yes ® No status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in North Carolina history and archaeology)? 7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? W &R reviewed the NC State Historic Preservation Office's online database, located at: http: / /gis.ncdcr.gov /hpoweb /, to determine if there were any known historic or cultural resources within or in the vicinity of the proposed project. The database review did not identify any known resources within or in the vicinity of the proposed project. Page 11 of 12 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement) 8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA- designated 100 -year floodplain? ❑Yes ® No 8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements: 8c.
