permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Neuse River Buffer Riparian Buffer
Rules (Allowable): Construction of the regr enwav will require building a 7-foot wide
asphalt pedestrian access trail across the Neuse River Buffer Zones and a wooden plank
bridge spanning an unnamed tributary to Bid Branch. The reg enwav will cross the buffer
and span the unnamed tributar~r~erpendicularly. The activity does not require written
404/401 authorization since the unnamed tributary will be sunned. A 10-foot wide
temporary construction corridor is required to construct the reg enwav.
1. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

2. List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: Based on the June
12, 2006 signed plat (USAGE Action Id. 200520695) there are no wetlands located on the
project site.
3. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary
impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam
construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib
walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed,
plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams
must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560.

4. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, por~~~'~o~~~~~i~~~~iiit dtto

Wetland Impact (acres): 0-acres
Open Water Impact (acres): 0-acres
Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. (acres) 0-acres
Total Stream Impact (linear feet): 0 linear feet
6. Isolated Waters
Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No
Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
One isolated non-iurisdictional channel (1125 s.f.. 0.003 ac.l was identified on the June 12,
2006 signed plat (USACE Action ID. 200520695); however, the isolated non jurisdictional
channel is not associated with this buffer impact authorization.
7. Pond Creation - N/A
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Expected pond surface area:
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site
layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were
minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be
followed during construction to reduce impacts PROPOSED NEUSE RIVER BUFFER IMPACTS: (see
attached "Stream Buffer Impact Map -Sheet 1 "). The North Hills East development was deli ng ed to
