December 12, 2022 Sam Dailey Chief, Charlotte Regulatory Field Office U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District 8430 University Executive Park Drive, Suite 615 Charlotte, NC 28262 RE: Action ID: SAW-2022-00367 Ammons Property (residential subdivision) Ms. Dailey, The purpose of this correspondence is to respond to your October 24, 2022 request for additional information for the processing of the Department of the Army for the Ammons Property (residential subdivision). For ease of reference, we have included the requested information in this letter; it is indented and in bold. We drafted a separate email response to the NC Division of Water Resources on November 28, 2022 to respond to their requests for additional information dated September 29, 2022. This document included supplemental information and plans that were requested as part of their review. Attached are revised site plans and impact tables that quantify the currently proposed impacts. A. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water or wetland areas. i. Specifically, please add to the alternatives analysis provided in your Individual Permit application (June 30, 2022) and with revisions received on September 6, 2022: a. Site selection criteria: Please provide specific, measurable criteria for your On -Site and Off -Site alternatives analysis. Your permit application evaluated contiguous acreage available, zoning, and utilities. These are not sufficient criteria to determine the least environmentally damaging practical alternative. Please also include stream impacts, wetland impacts, threatened/endangered species, historic properties, minimum size (acreage) requirement, property available for purchase, and any other applicable criteria. This information Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS ly4ysa: WATERS? INC. should be outlined in a table for comparison with each alternative analysis. Below is a table that supports a determination that the proposed impacts are the least environmentally damaging practical alternative available to the developer at the time the project commenced. The Veridia site, refenced in the following table, was contemplated for development by Brookfield in December 2020 and initially reviewed by Wetlands and Waters, Inc. in January 2021. Brookfield declined to move forward with this project based on anticipated environmental impacts, infrastructure availability, and financial returns. Table 1.

Brookfield and their consultants investigated the development of the site using different development concepts that would reduce impacts to streams and wetlands. Percent usable land assumes streams to have 50-foot regulated buffers on each side of them where they are outside of the 100-year floodplain. All values are estimates based on then available public information. b. Off -site alternatives: Please explore Off -Site alternatives in accordance with the above referenced criteria. Correlating maps/design drawings should be provided for each off -site alternative. If Off -Site alternatives are not practicable, please provide a detailed explanation as to why. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS ly4ysa: WATERS? INC. See Table 1. for an analysis of an off -site alternative to the project. Brookfield specializes in creating developments that have a minimum of 1500 dwelling units and a minimal impact on the environment while achieving market appropriate financial returns. Generally speaking, these unit counts are only achievable on tracts with usable acreage in excess of 300 acres. The estimated mitigation stream mitigation for the Veridia project was in the range of 3.25 to 5 million dollars at the time of due diligence m 2021. The analysis shows that the Veridia project was not a practicable project for this developer based on information that was available at the time of their due diligence. c. On -site alternatives: Please provide quantitative data that supports your On -Site alternatives configurations, including design drawings. For example, your On -site Alternative 1 states: "On -site alternative 1 proposed an equivalent amount of road and sewer impacts, but eliminated wetland impacts for residential unit construction. The applicant determined that this alternative was not economically practicable and would result in a non -viable project, therefore this alternative was eliminated from consideration." This information is not sufficient to evaluate as an alternative. Elimination of Lot Fill - The following images are excerpts from the proposed site plan. The red lines illustrate approximate changes in the road configuration and the lots shown in pink represent lots that are likely lost due to street setbacks and grading requirements, were these wetlands to be avoided. The following tables list the projected total financial impact for each of the lot areas. The total revenue generated by the proposed fills, less the mitigation, is $2.7M.

Below is a table depicting the proposed lot release schedule based on development phases and market. These development phases are not necessarily the same as the mitigation phases due to the lead time necessary to construct infrastructure prior to selling lots. Development Phase Total Lots Delivery Date Phase 1 266 4Q24 Phase 2 244 3Q25 Phase 3 291 1Q26 Phase 4 276 4Q26 Phase 5 253 4Q27 Phase 6 232 3Q28 A total of 41 residential units are currently reflected in the G1 & G2 impact areas. While the loss of $2.7M in revenue is significant, the real effect to the proforma is in the rate of return. The lots shown in G1 & G2 are anticipated to be in the 1st and 2nd phase of the project, meaning revenue that was anticipated to be recognized early and be used to offset the huge amount of upfront infrastructure that has to be constructed before any lots can be sold. The upfront infrastructure for phases 1 and 2 includes approximately 3,084 linear feet of 3-lane Undivided Minor Thoroughfare, 813 LF of 2-Lane Undivided Minor Collector and 6,854 LF of Local Streets & alleys. If areas G1 and G2 were not impacted then the roadway infrastructure would decrease by just 232 linear feet of Local Street (380 LF less + 150 LF for new street alignment at G2), with the entire —3,900 LF of Minor Thoroughfare and Minor Collector still being required per the Town of Wendell Master Throughfare Plan. Additionally, the sewer infrastructure improvements remain constant. Approximately 2,348 LF of gravity sewer outfall and 5,134 LF of sewer forcemain will need to be constructed in order to tie Phases 1 & 2 to the proposed pump station. The proposed impacts are necessary in order to quickly generate revenue and ensure a financially viable project. The development of the project cannot be practically accomplished in a manner that avoids impacts to these wetlands or results in less impacts to these wetlands as described below. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS ly4ysa: WATERS? INC. The $2.7M in revenue as a critical offset for the estimated $24M in first and second phase infrastructure costs. Of note, we provide the following estimated costs that need to be offset early in the project: • $320K- for first phase road and sewer stream, wetland and buffer mitigation • $100K - $600K (depending on rock) - for sewer boring costs associated with impacts S4 and S6 • $120K- for headwalls at the road crossings to reduce impacts • $500K for enhanced erosion control measures (double row reenforced silt fence) • $20K for stormwater management • $193K- for mitigation for impacts G1 and G2 If we were to lose these 41 lots, the rate of return would drop between 1.5%-2%, which would make the project financially unfeasible. Complete Avoidance of Impacts The applicant provides the following quantitative table for completely avoiding all impacts to streams, wetlands and buffers for the construction of sewer infrastructure. Estimated costs are based on the engineer's opinion of the costs to install the utilities based on engineering experience and market conditions; the costs do not include materials. Table 3.

The cost opinions presented in the table are the costs associated with the infrastructure that is needed to avoid the impact and does not reflect surface treatment and incidental earthwork. Note: NC DOT does not typically approve bridged crossings in residential subdivisions due to maintenance costs and other factors. Wetlands & Waters, Inc.

Please explain how your preferred alternative is the least environmentally damaging, practical alternative. The preferred alternative is the least environmentally damaging practical alternative because: 1. It avoids wetland fills in the 100-year floodplain with the exception of a road crossing to access a portion of the property that will be constructed entirely in high ground. 2. It avoids wetlands that are adjacent to tributaries thereby reducing the potential for damage to both wetlands and streams and preserving the integrity of the large riparian areas throughout the project. 3. It avoids impacts to high quality forested wetlands within the floodplains of minor tributaries within the site. 4. It limits potentially damaging impacts to water quality through the implementation of stringent erosion control measures and stormwater controls. 5. It avoids impacts to larger tributaries through the use of horizontal drilling. B. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practicable steps to minimize losses of Waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS ly4ysa: WATERS? INC. i. The information provided in your submitted application is not sufficient to assess if all appropriate and practical steps were taken to avoid and minimize losses to waters of the U.S. Therefore, please provide specific and measurable avoidance and minimization measures taken. Please be sure to discuss impacts to waters of the United States. The applicant provides the following narrative to demonstrate all the practical steps and proposed permit special conditions that will avoid and minimize direct and indirect impacts to wetlands and waters, protected species, and cultural resources. Endangered Species Special Conditions (proposed) 1. Based on consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pertaining to Section 7 of the endangered Species Act, the following conditions are required for the Ammons Property (residential development): The applicant shall commission protected species surveys 90 days in advance of any construction in wetlands or waters associated with Impacts R3, S4 and S6. The applicant shall provide the Corps and the US Fish and Wildlife Service a preliminary statement of the survey's findings within 24 hours and develop a relocation plan as needed. Impacts to waters of the US at these locations shall not occur until the US Fish and Wildlife Service issues a biological opinion. a. The extent of tree removal and grading required for the construction activities must be minimized by planning and scheduling activities in sequence, as appropriate. Areas where tree removal is not required and access is not otherwise needed for construction of infrastructure, buildings, or amenities must be fenced during construction to prohibit vehicle entry. Graded or disturbed soils must be stabilized with native grasses or mulch covers within 14 days of completion of the disturbance activity; b. The contractor must be advised about the presence of sensitive species by providing information and installing visible and weather-proof signage (see the attached signage with the heading labeled "NOTICE!") on the silt fence at regular (i.e. at least 300-foot) intervals along clearing limits adjacent to streams and wetlands shown on the approved delineation map; C. Access for equipment and vehicles to construct the sewer infrastructure must be limited to those shown on the attached plansheets. No impacts to wetlands, streams, or other potential waters of the US are authorized for access other than those specified on the attached plansheets; d. Stringent erosion control measures must be implemented during construction within 100-feet of the Little River floodplain and the perennial stream channel along the southern property boundary, including: A double row of silt fence, to ensure that erosion is captured effectively. Silt fence and other erosion control devices must not include outlets that discharge closer than 50 feet to the top of bank of any stream. Silt fence outlets for each row of silt fence must be offset to provide additional retention of water and sediment in the outer row; e. The discharge outlets from stormwater infrastructure must be designed to avoid stream buffers, including the dissipator pad or any other structures; f All mechanized equipment shall be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS ly4ysa: WATERS? INC. materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the Permittee shall immediately report it to the Corps at Samantha.J.Daileykusace.army.mil <mailto: Samantha.J.DaileyAusace.army.mil > , U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at john_elliskf vs. oovv <mailto John_ellisAfws. oovv> , and N.C. Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) at (919) 733-3300 or (800) 858-0368, and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act shall be followed. Inspections, repairs, cleaning, and/or servicing must be conducted either before the vehicle, equipment, or machinery is transported into the field or at the work site; g. All drilling muds, wash -water runoff, and/or other harmful materials must be appropriately controlled to prevent entry into a waterbody or riparian zone; h. Vehicles and equipment must be fueled and maintained, and potentially toxic substances (fuels, paints, solvents, lubricants, etc.) must be stored, within a containment area in uplands at least 100 feet from the top of bank; i. Temporary and permanent stabilization measures should include only natural materials that are expected to degrade over time; j. Revegetate with native species. Sericea lespedeza is invasive and should not be used for stabilization or revegetation in regulated wetlands, floodplains or stream buffers. Portions of the sewer ROW that are not intended for long-term maintenance should be revegetated with native trees and shrubs; k. Conduct bi-weekly inspections of all erosion and sedimentation controls adjacent to the floodplain of Little River floodplain and the perennial stream channel along the southern property boundary, and in uplands within 100 feet of the riparian zones of all streams. Maintain all controls as necessary to ensure proper installation and function. In addition to bi-weekly inspections, within 24-hours of rain events, inspect all of the erosion and sedimentation controls to ensure the integrity of the devices. Repair and replace sections of controls as needed to minimize the potential for failure; 1. If erosion and sedimentation controls fail causing sediment or erosion in the floodplain wetlands or stream buffer of the Little River floodplain and the perennial stream channel along the southern property boundary, the Corps and Service must be notified within 24 hours to determine if any remediation is required. in. Completion of Environmental Inspection Report Form: After each inadvertent release, the environmental inspector will complete an Environmental Inspection Report Form. This form will contain information of the date, time, location, duration, and estimated amount of the release, as well as containment and clean up activities. The environmental inspector will also contact regulatory and resource agencies no more than 24-hours after clean-up and recovery of the release. n. Site Restoration: After the complete installation of the force main, restoration activities will be implemented according to the project's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. Tie in pits will be backfilled with a mix of drill returns and minor excavate material removed during the pipe connection process. Disturbed areas will be seeded with native vegetation and covered with mulch to prevent further erosion. Abandoned drill holes will be sealed with either a sand/concrete slurry or a mix of drill returns. Cultural Resources Special Conditions (proposed) 2. Based on consultation with the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources relating to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the following conditions are required for Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS ly4ysa: WATERS? INC. the Ammons Property (residential development): a. Site 31WA2534, which yielded American Indian artifacts from the Middle Archaic and Early/Middle Woodland Periods and appears to contain deep deposits with intact stratigraphy, shall not be impacted by the proposed development. b. Should ground disturbing activities not shown on the design plan, such as land clearing or grading for walking trails, be proposed within 500 feet of site 31WA2534, measures shall be taken to avoid site 3IWA2534 inclusive of a 100-foot buffer. The site and buffer area shall be marked as an environmentally sensitive area on construction plans and be delineated with high visibility fencing to avoid accidental encroachment. The site and the buffer are depicted on the plan coversheet. Erosion Control — The applicant has committed to stringent erosion control measures that include super silt fence along the perimeter of the site where it drains directly to the Little River and other tributaries. Super silt fence is two rows of fence with the closest to the aquatic resource being supported by chain link fence. Brookfield has a solid reputation with Wake County Erosion Control for the implementation and management of erosion control devises. Stormwater Management - The site plan depicts 17 stormwater management ponds located throughout the site. Each of the basins will discharge outside of the Neuse River Riparian Buffers. Wake County stormwater rules require protection of riparian buffers, peak flow control and nitrogen control from new development. This will be achieved by detaining the 1-inch storm event for 2-5 days and the 1-year, 24-hour storm event so that the peak flow rate doesn't increase from the pre -development rate. An emergency spillway will be provided to safely pass runoff from extreme storm events or in the event the outlet structure becomes clogged. These requirements will be met by utilizing 17 onsite Stormwater Control Measures that will discharge at non -erosive velocities through the use of energy dissipator pads at each outfall. Wake County is a delegated authority for stormwater management and the plans will comply with their applicable standards. Construction Methods and Considerations - The applicant commits to using construction mats for work in wetlands associated with the installation of the sewer infrastructure. • The applicant commits to using pump arounds to ensure that construction is in the dry. • The applicant commits to using non-invasive species for stabilization within floodplains, riparian areas and wetlands. • The applicant commits to create containment areas for lubricants and fuels at least 100 feet from the top of stream banks. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS ly4ysa: WATERS? INC. The applicant will ensure that perimeter erosion control is established prior to starting clearing and grubbing The applicant commits to exceeding best management practices for forestry during any timbering activities on the site. ii. Please provide an explanation as to why utility Impact S6 cannot be achieved utilizing horizontal directional drilling. The applicant has agreed to horizontal drill sewer crossings 4 and 6 at an estimated cost of $256K. Further, the applicant will commission protected species survey 90 days in advance of the borings to further limit potential adverse impacts to them. The applicant will provide the Corps and the US Fish and Wildlife Service a preliminary statement of the survey's findings within 24 hours and develop a relocation plan if needed. iii. Please provide additional justification regarding impacts GI and G2 and why these areas cannot be further avoided and minimized. Please see above section titled "Elimination of Lot Fill" for additional justification regarding impacts G1 and G2. C.i. I have evaluated the compensatory mitigation plan included in your application and have determined the details to be generally sufficient for our evaluation. You are proposing a 2:1 and 1:1 mitigation to impact ratio for the proposed stream and wetland impacts and would purchase 4.75 wetland mitigation units and 856 stream mitigation units from Wildlands Holdings III, LLC's Falling Creek UMB, McClenny Acres II Mitigation Site and Falling Creek Mitigation Site. The applicant requests that the file specifically reflects that the applicant avoided impacts to over 60 acres of wetlands and 11,000 linear feet of streams and that they remain in protected open space within the development. The applicant proposes the following phased mitigation plan for impacts to wetlands and streams. The mitigation proposal utilizes the agreed upon ratios but has been revised to reflect the reduction of impacts that result from boring two of the sewer crossings. Wetlands & Waters, Inc.

December 12, 2022 Sam Dailey Chief, Charlotte Regulatory Field Office U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District 8430 University Executive Park Drive, Suite 615 Charlotte, NC 28262 RE: Action ID: SAW-2022-00367 Ammons Property (residential subdivision) Ms. Dailey, The purpose of this correspondence is to respond to your October 24, 2022 request for additional information for the processing of the Department of the Army for the Ammons Property (residential subdivision). For ease of reference, we have included the requested information in this letter; it is indented and in bold. We drafted a separate email response to the NC Division of Water Resources on November 28, 2022 to respond to their requests for additional information dated September 29, 2022. This document included supplemental information and plans that were requested as part of their review. Attached are revised site plans and impact tables that quantify the currently proposed impacts. A. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water or wetland areas. i. Specifically, please add to the alternatives analysis provided in your Individual Permit application (June 30, 2022) and with revisions received on September 6, 2022: a. Site selection criteria: Please provide specific, measurable criteria for your On -Site and Off -Site alternatives analysis. Your permit application evaluated contiguous acreage available, zoning, and utilities. These are not sufficient criteria to determine the least environmentally damaging practical alternative. Please also include stream impacts, wetland impacts, threatened/endangered species, historic properties, minimum size (acreage) requirement, property available for purchase, and any other applicable criteria. This information Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WIIWETLANDS 1 & WATERS, INC. should be outlined in a table for comparison with each alternative analysis. Below is a table that supports a determination that the proposed impacts are the least environmentally damaging practical alternative available to the developer at the time the project commenced. The Veridia site, refenced in the following table, was contemplated for development by Brookfield in December 2020 and initially reviewed by Wetlands and Waters, Inc. in January 2021. Brookfield declined to move forward with this project based on anticipated environmental impacts, infrastructure availability, and financial returns. Table 1. C1 0 0 �.

Brookfield and their consultants investigated the development of the site using different development concepts that would reduce impacts to streams and wetlands. Percent usable land assumes streams to have 50-foot regulated buffers on each side of them where they are outside of the 100-year floodplain. All values are estimates based on then available public information. b. Off -site alternatives: Please explore Off -Site alternatives in accordance with the above referenced criteria. Correlating maps/design drawings should be provided for each off -site alternative. If Off -Site alternatives are not practicable, please provide a detailed explanation as to why. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS 4 W WETLANDS 1 fta & WATERS9 I NC. See Table 1. for an analysis of an off -site alternative to the project. Brookfield specializes in creating developments that have a minimum of 1500 dwelling units and a minimal impact on the environment while achieving market appropriate financial returns. Generally speaking, these unit counts are only achievable on tracts with usable acreage in excess of 300 acres. The estimated mitigation stream mitigation for the Veridia project was in the range of 3.25 to 5 million dollars at the time of due diligence m 2021. The analysis shows that the Veridia project was not a practicable project for this developer based on information that was available at the time of their due diligence. c. On -site alternatives: Please provide quantitative data that supports your On -Site alternatives configurations, including design drawings. For example, your On -site Alternative 1 states: "On -site alternative 1 proposed an equivalent amount of road and sewer impacts, but eliminated wetland impacts for residential unit construction. The applicant determined that this alternative was not economically practicable and would result in a non -viable project, therefore this alternative was eliminated from consideration." This information is not sufficient to evaluate as an alternative. Elimination of Lot Fill - The following images are excerpts from the proposed site plan. The red lines illustrate approximate changes in the road configuration and the lots shown in pink represent lots that are likely lost due to street setbacks and grading requirements, were these wetlands to be avoided. The following tables list the projected total financial impact for each of the lot areas. The total revenue generated by the proposed fills, less the mitigation, is $2.7M. Impact G-1 Product Type #of lots Revenue/Lot Cost/Lot Profit 40' Front Load 10 $ 125,000.00 $ (46,000.00) $ 790,000.00 20'Townhome 17 $ 80,000.00 $ (22,000.00) $ 986,000.00 Total 27 Cost of Mitigation $ 1,776,000.00 $ (178,000.00) --- Total Financial Impact $ 1,598,000.00 Wetlands & Waters, Inc.

Below is a table depicting the proposed lot release schedule based on development phases and market. These development phases are not necessarily the same as the mitigation phases due to the lead time necessary to construct infrastructure prior to selling lots. Development Phase Total Lots Delivery Date Phase 1 266 4Q24 Phase 2 244 3Q25 Phase 3 291 1Q26 Phase 4 276 4Q26 Phase 5 253 4Q27 Phase 6 232 3Q28 A total of 41 residential units are currently reflected in the G1 & G2 impact areas. While the loss of $2.7M in revenue is significant, the real effect to the proforma is in the rate of return. The lots shown in G1 & G2 are anticipated to be in the 1st and 2nd phase of the project, meaning revenue that was anticipated to be recognized early and be used to offset the huge amount of upfront infrastructure that has to be constructed before any lots can be sold. The upfront infrastructure for phases 1 and 2 includes approximately 3,084 linear feet of 3-lane Undivided Minor Thoroughfare, 813 LF of 2-Lane Undivided Minor Collector and 6,854 LF of Local Streets & alleys. If areas G1 and G2 were not impacted then the roadway infrastructure would decrease by just 232 linear feet of Local Street (380 LF less + 150 LF for new street alignment at G2), with the entire —3,900 LF of Minor Thoroughfare and Minor Collector still being required per the Town of Wendell Master Throughfare Plan. Additionally, the sewer infrastructure improvements remain constant. Approximately 2,348 LF of gravity sewer outfall and 5,134 LF of sewer forcemain will need to be constructed in order to tie Phases 1 & 2 to the proposed pump station. The proposed impacts are necessary in order to quickly generate revenue and ensure a financially viable project. The development of the project can not be practically accomplished in a manner that avoids impacts to these wetlands or results in less impacts to these wetlands as described below. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WWETLANDS .�. Sc WATERS9 INC. The $2.7M in revenue as a critical offset for the estimated $24M in first and second phase infrastructure costs. Of note, we provide the following estimated costs that need to be offset early in the project: • $320K- for first phase road and sewer stream, wetland and buffer mitigation • $100K - $600K (depending on rock) - for sewer boring costs associated with impacts S4 and S6 • $120K- for headwalls at the road crossings to reduce impacts • $500K for enhanced erosion control measures (double row reenforced silt fence) • $20K for stormwater management • $193K- for mitigation for impacts G1 and G2 If we were to lose these 41 lots, the rate of return would drop between 1.5%-2%, which would make the project financially unfeasible. Complete Avoidance of Impacts The applicant provides the following quantitative table for completely avoiding all impacts to streams, wetlands and buffers for the construction of sewer infrastructure. Estimated costs are based on the engineer's opinion of the costs to install the utilities based on engineering experience and market conditions; the costs do not include materials. Table 3.

Please explain how your preferred alternative is the least environmentally damaging, practical alternative. The preferred alternative is the least environmentally damaging practical alternative because: 1. It avoids wetland fills in the 100-year floodplain with the exception of a road crossing to access a portion of the property that will be constructed entirely in high ground. 2. It avoids wetlands that are adjacent to tributaries thereby reducing the potential for damage to both wetlands and streams and preserving the integrity of the large riparian areas throughout the project. 3. It avoids impacts to high quality forested wetlands within the floodplains of minor tributaries within the site. 4. It limits potentially damaging impacts to water quality through the implementation of stringent erosion control measures and stormwater controls. 5. It avoids impacts to larger tributaries through the use of horizontal drilling. B. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practicable steps to minimize losses of Waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WIIWETLANDS 1 & WATERS, INC. i. The information provided in your submitted application is not sufficient to assess if all appropriate and practical steps were taken to avoid and minimize losses to waters of the U.S. Therefore, please provide specific and measurable avoidance and minimization measures taken. Please be sure to discuss impacts to waters of the United States. The applicant provides the following narrative to demonstrate all the practical steps and proposed permit special conditions that will avoid and minimize direct and indirect impacts to wetlands and waters, protected species, and cultural resources. Endangered Species Special Conditions (proposed) 1. Based on consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pertaining to Section 7 of the endangered Species Act, the following conditions are required for the Ammons Property (residential development): The applicant shall commission protected species surveys 90 days in advance of any construction in wetlands or waters associated with Impacts R3, S4 and S6. The applicant shall provide the Corps and the US Fish and Wildlife Service a preliminary statement of the survey's findings within 24 hours and develop a relocation plan as needed. Impacts to waters of the US at these locations shall not occur until the US Fish and Wildlife Service issues a biological opinion. a. The extent of tree removal and grading required for the construction activities must be minimized by planning and scheduling activities in sequence, as appropriate. Areas where tree removal is not required and access is not otherwise needed for construction of infrastructure, buildings, or amenities must be fenced during construction to prohibit vehicle entry. Graded or disturbed soils must be stabilized with native grasses or mulch covers within 14 days of completion of the disturbance activity; b. The contractor must be advised about the presence of sensitive species by providing information and installing visible and weather-proof signage (see the attached signage with the heading labeled 'NOTICE!") on the silt fence at regular (i.e. at least 300-foot) intervals along clearing limits adjacent to streams and wetlands shown on the approved delineation map; C. Access for equipment and vehicles to construct the sewer infrastructure must be limited to those shown on the attached plansheets. No impacts to wetlands, streams, or other potential waters of the US are authorized for access other than those specified on the attached plansheets; d. Stringent erosion control measures must be implemented during construction within 100-feet of the Little River floodplain and the perennial stream channel along the southern property boundary, including: A double row of silt fence, to ensure that erosion is captured effectively. Silt fence and other erosion control devices must not include outlets that discharge closer than 50 feet to the top of bank of any stream. Silt fence outlets for each row of silt fence must be offset to provide additional retention of water and sediment in the outer row; e. The discharge outlets from stormwater infrastructure must be designed to avoid stream buffers, including the dissipator pad or any other structures; f. All mechanized equipment shall be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS II WETLANDS 1 & WATERS9 INC. materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, the Permittee shall immediately report it to the Corps at Samantha.J.Dailey@usace.army.mil <mailto: Samantha.J.Dailey@usace.army.mil > , U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at john_ellis@fws.gov <mailto John_ellis@fws.gov> , and N.C. Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) at (919) 733-3300 or (800) 858-0368, and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act shall be followed. Inspections, repairs, cleaning, and/or servicing must be conducted either before the vehicle, equipment, or machinery is transported into the field or at the work site; g. All drilling muds, wash -water runoff, and/or other harmful materials must be appropriately controlled to prevent entry into a waterbody or riparian zone; h. Vehicles and equipment must be fueled and maintained, and potentially toxic substances (fuels, paints, solvents, lubricants, etc.) must be stored, within a containment area in uplands at least 100 feet from the top of bank; i. Temporary and permanent stabilization measures should include only natural materials that are expected to degrade over time; j. Revegetate with native species. Sericea lespedeza is invasive and should not be used for stabilization or revegetation in regulated wetlands, floodplains or stream buffers. Portions of the sewer ROW that are not intended for long-term maintenance should be revegetated with native trees and shrubs; k. Conduct bi-weekly inspections of all erosion and sedimentation controls adjacent to the floodplain of Little River floodplain and the perennial stream channel along the southern property boundary, and in uplands within 100 feet of the riparian zones of all streams. Maintain all controls as necessary to ensure proper installation and function. In addition to bi-weekly inspections, within 24-hours of rain events, inspect all of the erosion and sedimentation controls to ensure the integrity of the devices. Repair and replace sections of controls as needed to minimize the potential for failure; 1. If erosion and sedimentation controls fail causing sediment or erosion in the floodplain wetlands or stream buffer of the Little River floodplain and the perennial stream channel along the southern property boundary, the Corps and Service must be notified within 24 hours to determine if any remediation is required. in. Completion of Environmental Inspection Report Form: After each inadvertent release, the environmental inspector will complete an Environmental Inspection Report Form. This form will contain information of the date, time, location, duration, and estimated amount of the release, as well as containment and clean up activities. The environmental inspector will also contact regulatory and resource agencies no more than 24-hours after clean-up and recovery of the release. n. Site Restoration: After the complete installation of the force main, restoration activities will be implemented according to the project's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. Tie in pits will be backfilled with a mix of drill returns and minor excavate material removed during the pipe connection process. Disturbed areas will be seeded with native vegetation and covered with mulch to prevent further erosion. Abandoned drill holes will be sealed with either a sand/concrete slurry or a mix of drill returns. Cultural Resources Special Conditions (proposed) 2. Based on consultation with the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources relating to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the following conditions are required for Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WETLANDS y WATERS9 INC. ly4: the Ammons Property (residential development): a. Site 31 WA2534, which yielded American Indian artifacts from the Middle Archaic and Early/Middle Woodland Periods and appears to contain deep deposits with intact stratigraphy, shall not be impacted by the proposed development. b. Should ground disturbing activities not shown on the design plan, such as land clearing or grading for walking trails, be proposed within 500 feet of site 31 WA2534, measures shall be taken to avoid site 31 WA2534 inclusive of a 100-foot buffer. The site and buffer area shall be marked as an environmentally sensitive area on construction plans and be delineated with high visibility fencing to avoid accidental encroachment. The site and the buffer are depicted on the plan coversheet. Erosion Control — The applicant has committed to stringent erosion control measures that include super silt fence along the perimeter of the site where it drains directly to the Little River and other tributaries. Super silt fence is two rows of fence with the closest to the aquatic resource being supported by chain link fence. Brookfield has a solid reputation with Wake County Erosion Control for the implementation and management of erosion control devises. Stormwater Management - The site plan depicts 17 stormwater management ponds located throughout the site. Each of the basins will discharge outside of the Neuse River Riparian Buffers. Wake County stormwater rules require protection of riparian buffers, peak flow control and nitrogen control from new development. This will be achieved by detaining the 1-inch storm event for 2-5 days and the 1-year, 24-hour storm event so that the peak flow rate doesn't increase from the pre -development rate. An emergency spillway will be provided to safely pass runoff from extreme storm events or in the event the outlet structure becomes clogged. These requirements will be met by utilizing 17 onsite Stormwater Control Measures that will discharge at non -erosive velocities through the use of energy dissipator pads at each outfall. Wake County is a delegated authority for stormwater management and the plans will comply with their applicable standards. Construction Methods and Considerations - The applicant commits to using construction mats for work in wetlands associated with the installation of the sewer infrastructure. • The applicant commits to using pump arounds to ensure that construction is in the dry. • The applicant commits to using non-invasive species for stabilization within floodplains, riparian areas and wetlands. • The applicant commits to create containment areas for lubricants and fuels at least 100 feet from the top of stream banks. Wetlands & Waters, Inc. WETLAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS WI WETLANDS 1 & WATERS9 INC. The applicant will ensure that perimeter erosion control is established prior to starting clearing and grubbing The applicant commits to exceeding best management practices for forestry during any timbering activities on the site. ii. Please provide an explanation as to why utility Impact S6 cannot be achieved utilizing horizontal directional drilling. The applicant has agreed to horizontal drill sewer crossings 4 and 6 at an estimated cost of $256K. Further, the applicant will commission protected species survey 90 days in advance of the borings to further limit potential adverse impacts to them. The applicant will provide the Corps and the US Fish and Wildlife Service a preliminary statement of the survey's findings within 24 hours and develop a relocation plan if needed. iii. Please provide additional justification regarding impacts GI and G2 and why these areas cannot be further avoided and minimized. Please see above section titled "Elimination of Lot Fill" for additional justification regarding impacts G1 and G2. C.i. I have evaluated the compensatory mitigation plan included in your application and have determined the details to be generally sufficient for our evaluation. You are proposing a 2:1 and 1:1 mitigation to impact ratio for the proposed stream and wetland impacts and would purchase 4.75 wetland mitigation units and 856 stream mitigation units from Wildlands Holdings III, LLC's Falling Creek UMB, McClenny Acres II Mitigation Site and Falling Creek Mitigation Site. The applicant requests that the file specifically reflects that the applicant avoided impacts to over 60 acres of wetlands and 11,000 linear feet of streams and that they remain in protected open space within the development. The applicant proposes the following phased mitigation plan for impacts to wetlands and streams. The mitigation proposal utilizes the agreed upon ratios but has been revised to reflect the reduction of impacts that result from boring two of the sewer crossings. Wetlands & Waters, Inc.
