1. Avoidance and Minimization

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
1. The cross section of the site entrance roadways are designed as narrow as allowed by the governing local jurisdictional to aid in avoidance and
impact minimization of potential wetlands GZ, GX, and GM. The alignments of Oriole Drive and Purple Martin Drive are set such that each road shall be
constructed as close to the existing adjacent property boundary as possible to aid in impact avoidance and minimization of potential onsite wetlands and
open waters.
• Oriole Drive within the western portion of the development, off of Rawls Church Road (SR1415) is situated along the southern property boundary to
help avoid potential wetland GZ. The vertical alignment of Oriole Drive and the proposed retaining walls at stationing 13+00 to 15+50 minimize the
impacts to potential wetland GZ and the Neill's Creek (stream S1) roadway crossing.
• Initial conceptual designs utilized a small wet pond north of Oriole Drive at approximate station 15+00 to avoid storm conveyance pipes perpendicular
to the Neill's Creek crossing. Once potential wetland GZ was identified, roadway drainage was proposed to be re-routed to the dry pond at Station 17+00
to avoid complete infill of potential wetland GZ.
• Purple Martin Drive within the eastern portion of the development with access to North Raleigh Street (NC 55), is aligned with the adjacent Logans
Court as per Town of Angier and the North Carolina Department of Transportation requirements. Purple Martin Drive then enters the site along the
northern project boundary to avoid impacting potential wetland GK, and to minimize impacts to potential wetlands GM and GX. Where Purple Martin
Drive must cross the potential open waters pond directly downstream of wetland GM, an H-Post driven retaining wall along the southern right-of-way is
proposed to minimize permanent impacts and avoid temporary impacts that traditional retaining wall construction would require.
2. Initial site concept called for all pad graded lots, however lots 164 to 170 are proposed as crawl space lots, with minimal front yard slope, minimum
rear yard widths and maximum rear yard slopes to avoid impact of potential wetland GG and potential stream S-2W.
3. Bobwhite Court is positioned directly east of the potential open waters pond downstream of potential wetland GK. An H-Post driven retaining wall
along the western right-of-way is proposed to minimize permanent impacts and avoid additional temporary impacts that traditional retaining wall
construction would require.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
4. A sole three -unit townhome is proposed along the western right-of-way Bobwhite Court (Lots 49-51) with a side lot line retaining wall to minimize
impacts to potential wetland GK. While this impact is being accounted for within the aggregate % acres of allowable disturbance, in our opinion, this
feature should not be considered jurisdictional. The potential open water pond that potential wetland GK drains into was created during agricultural
development in the 1990s and is not natural.
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?
Yes No
2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):

Yes No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?*
Yes No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
Yes No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
Angier and surrounding areas in northern Harnett County are growing due to proximity to the Research Triangle region. This proposed project will
provide much -needed housing in this area and small businesses within walking distance. Additional development will likely occur in the surrounding
area, but this project is not in itself expected to be a cause of additional development.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
Yes No N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a
treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
Sanitary wastewater from the proposed homes and businesses will be conveyed via the existing Neills Creek sewer to the North Harnett County WWTP
which discharges into the Cape Fear River near Lillington. The Town of Angier has approved a sanitary allotment of 0.08136 MGD for the project in their
Planned Use Development approval.

The US-FWS IPaC Tool identifies four federal -listed endangered or threatened species of concern: The Red -cockaded woodpecker, Cape Fear shiner,
Atlantic pigtoe mussel, and Rough -leaf loosestrife. A Biological Assessment for these species is included in the attached letter.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Yes No

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 status?*
Yes No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?*
NCSHPO GIS Web service (HPOWeb 2.0) indicates one historic home within 1/2 mile of the project. Structure HT1046, mapped 600 ft south of the
project site, was demolished in 2019-2020. No archaeological survey was performed on the site to our knowledge.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
