4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The Site is undeveloped and contains forested areas along the drainages while the majority of the Site has been logged recently and is in dense herbaceous and shrub cover. There are
three structures on the evaluated site. Evidence of past silvicultural operations on the Site include cleared areas visible in aerial imagery. Where it exists, the tree canopy consists of
mature pines and hardwood trees. The topography of the Site ranges from a low point of +/- 400 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the middle southern property corner where the
drainage exits the Site, to a high point of +/- 450 feet msl in the northwestern corner of the Site. Surrounding areas are mostly wooded with a few stand-alone residences. Previously, a
permit application was submitted and approved by the USAGE on 09/09/2022 (SAW-2021-02598) and by NC DWR on 08/31/2022 (DWR #20220435). The previously authorized impacts
included 0.035 acres of permanent wetland fill due to a road crossing, 154 linear feet (0.02 acres) of permanent loss of stream channel and 24 linear feet (0.003 acres) of permanent
impact, but no permanent loss of channel due to rip rap placement. The applicant was able to purchase additional property to the south of the proposed Site and has since redesigned the
site plan to use an existing driveway crossing thereby eliminating permanent impacts to wetlands and reducing overall permanent stream impacts to 75 linear feet (0.012 acres) of
permanent stream impact, 12 linear feet (0.002 acres) of permanent impact, but no permanent loss of channel due to rip rap placement and 29 linear feet (0.005 acres) of temporary
impact due to impervious dike placement and concurrent dewatering for the culvert installation.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
USAGE SAW-2021-02598
DWR Project No. 20220435
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.115
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
1,248
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a residential development to help meet the housing need in the area.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Roads and lots were positioned to reduce impacts to streams and wetlands on the Site. The road crossings were designed to cross perpendicular to the jurisdictional features. The
applicant purchased additional property to the south of the original project site to utilize an existing gravel road as part of the proposed Bennet Grove Drive. There are 0.115 acre of onsite
wetlands of which none are proposed to be permanently impacted. There are 1,248 linear feet of stream onsite of which only 75 linear feet are proposed to be permanently impacted, 12
linear feet are proposed to be permanently impacted, but not permanent loss (rip rap placement) and 29 linear feet of temporary impact. Construction fencing will be used to define the
construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts, while silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from runoff.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes No
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made? *

Of the 87 linear feet of proposed permanent impacts, only 75 linear feet is considered permanent loss; the remaining 12 linear feet are associated with
the countersunk rip rap pad and are considered permanent impact, but not permanent loss. Also note that the inlet of the culvert proposes rip rap
installation at the wing walls to force the flow from the two channels into the center of the flow line, rather than allow it along the wing wall. This will
prevent future scour.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Roads and lots were positioned to reduce impacts to streams and wetlands on the Site. The road crossing was designed to cross perpendicular to the
jurisdictional features. The applicant purchased additional property to the south of the original project site to utilize an existing gravel road as part of the
proposed Bennet Grove Drive. There are 0.115 acre of onsite wetlands of which none are proposed to be permanently impacted. There are 1,248 linear
feet of stream onsite of which only 75 linear feet are proposed to be permanently impacted, 12 linear feet are proposed to be permanently impacted, but
not permanent loss (rip rap placement) and 29 linear feet of temporary impact.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental, additional impacts. The construction of the project will
be phased so as to prevent large areas of land disturbance that could contribute to sediment runoff into the streams and wetlands.
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
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The applicants purchased property to the south of the original assemblage to redesign the project and reduce overall impacts by crossing a single stream instead of two streams and
utilizing an existing driveway. Proposed redesigned impacts are below compensatory mitigation thresholds.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250? *
Yes No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
Yes No
Comments:
This project is subject to the Falls Lake stormwater rules, and minimum lot size is approximately —29,000 sq. ft. with 6,500 sq. ft. proposed maximum impervious area per lot.
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? *
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.
Per the NC DWQ April 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale residential development projects have a "low potential for cumulative
impact" since the project already in a developed landscape (i.e. existing residences and development in the vicinity) and the area already contains the
necessary infrastructure (i.e. sewer, water, electricity, etc.). The project drains to West Prong New Light Creek, which is Water Supply IV (WS-IV);
Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW), (i.e. not HQW or ORW). We anticipate the NCDWR will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative analysis is needed.
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.
The proposed lots will all be serviced by individual wells and individual septic systems.
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)

Raleigh, NC 27604
On behalf of Derrick and Shinese Bennett (applicants), please find attached a REVISED complete application
and supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
that the activities associated with the proposed development of the Aubrie Place Subdivision (Project) may
proceed under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29, General Certification 4256 (GC 4256) and buffer authorization.
Protect Purpose and Location
The overall project purpose is development of a residential subdivision. The +/16.82-acre tract is located +/- 0.33
mile south of the intersection of Bruce Garner Road and Woodland Church Road, in Wake Forest, Brassfield
Township, Granville County, NC. The coordinates of 36.0757°N, 78.5718°W generally correspond to the center
of the Site.
Protect Detail
The proposed Project consists of the construction of a residential subdivision with associated roads and
driveways. Each lot will have an individual well and septic system.
Access to the Site will be provided via Woodland Church Road along the eastern property line. Heavy equipment
typically used for utility installation projects (e.g. backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized.
A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program dated July 22, 2021, lists no federally listed T&E species on or
within 1.0-mile of the Site.
The Site itself is not listed as a historic property. There is one historic property located within 1.0 mile of the Site
based on a query of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO) database. This property is
listed as "Study List Individual entry". Figure 4 depicts the locations of these properties in relation to the Site.
NCSHPO may have comments during the permitting process but their comments should not prohibit the proposed
activities on the Site.
Project History
The Site is undeveloped and contains forested areas along the drainages while the majority of the Site has been
logged recently and is in dense herbaceous and shrub cover. There are three structures on the evaluated site.
Evidence of past silvicultural operations on the Site include cleared areas visible in aerial imagery. Where it
exists, the tree canopy consists of mature pines and hardwood trees. The topography of the Site ranges from a
low point of +/- 400 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the middle southern property corner where the drainage
exits the Site, to a high point of +/- 450 feet msl in the northwestern corner of the Site. Surrounding areas are
mostly wooded with a few stand alone residences. A Pre -Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) was approved by
the USACE via email on January 11, 2022, and a NCDWR Buffer Determination letter was issued on January 7,

2022 (see attached). Previously, a permit application was submitted and approved by the USACE on 09/09/2022
(SAW-2021-02598, attached) and by NC DWR on 08/31/2022 (DWR #20220435, atttached). The previously
authorized impacts included 0.035 acres of permanent wetland fill due to a road crossing, 154 linear feet (0.02
acres) of permanent loss of stream channel and 24 linear feet (0.003 acres) of permanent impact, but no
permanent loss of channel due to rip rap placement. The applicant was able to purchase additional property to
the south of the proposed Site and has since redesigned the site plan to use an existing driveway crossing
thereby eliminating permanent impacts to wetlands and reducing overall permanent stream impacts to 75 linear
feet (0.012 acres) of permanent stream impact, 12 linear feet (0.002 acres) of permanent impact, but no
permanent loss of channel due to rip rap placement and 29 linear feet (0.005 acres) of temporary impact due to
impervious dike placement and concurrent dewatering for the culvert installation.
Avoidance and Minimization
Roads and lots were positioned to reduce impacts to streams and wetlands on the Site. The road crossings were
designed to cross perpendicular to the jurisdictional features. The applicant purchased additional property to the
south of the original project site to utilize an existing gravel road as part of the proposed Bennet Grove Drive.
There are 0.115 acre of onsite wetlands of which none are proposed to be permanently impacted. There are
1,248 linear feet of stream onsite of which only 75 linear feet are proposed to be permanently impacted, 12 linear
feet are proposed to be permanently impacted, but not permanent loss (rip rap placement) and 29 linear feet of
temporary impact. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental
additional impacts, while silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from runoff.
Project Impacts
The are no proposed permanent wetland impacts, 75 linear feet of proposed permanent stream impacts, 12 linear
feet of permanent but no loss stream impacts and 29 linear feet of temporary stream impacts. There are also
4,609 square feet of permanent proposed Zone 1 buffer impacts and 2,608 square feet of permanent proposed
Zone 2 buffer impacts.
Mitigation
There are no proposed wetland impacts. Proposed stream and buffer impacts are below mitigation thresholds.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone].

Walker Clark
Director, Division of Land and Water5tewwdship
NCNHDE-15182
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates
that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary, or within a one -mile radius of
the project boundary.
Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within or
near the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been
surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat
exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so
that we may update our records.
Please also note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may also not be redistributed without
permission.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,

Dear Cory Darnell,
Reference is made to Corps Action ID: SAW-2021-02598. Please reference this number on any correspondence regarding
this action.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of this e-mail, are
confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a sufficiently accurate and
reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within the identified review area. The location
and extent of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map entitled, "Wetland and Stream Sketch Map"
and dated 8 12 2021.
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01 https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lco119/id/1256
provides guidance for Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states, "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type
where no JD has been requested." Currently, we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied upon
for use in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. This verification does not
address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be interpreted as
such.
This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable action under
the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an AJD, which is ar
appealable action.
If you wish to receive a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), or an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)
please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is required and we will not provide any additional
documentation.
**Due to workload volume, it may take 90 - 120 days or more for the issuance of a standalone JD; however, you may use
the delineation for planning and permitting purposes.
Thank you,
April Norton

scale. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial
stream, a pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are
checked "Subject' have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be subject to the
buffer rules. There may be other streams located on the property that do not show up on the maps referenced above
and are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are
subject to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A
NCAC 02B and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An
appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter. A request for a determination by the
Director shall be referred to the Director in writing. If sending via US Postal Service: c/o Paul Wojoski; DWR

service (UPS, FedEx, etc.): Paul Wojoski; DWR — 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit; 512 N. Salisbury Street,
Raleigh, NC 27604.
This determination is final and binding unless, as detailed above, an appeal is requested within sixty (60)
days.
This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries should be
directed to the US Army Corp of Engineers (Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at (919)-554-4884.

Location description: The project area is located at 1161 and 1169 Woodland Church Road in Wake Forest, Granville County,
North Carolina.
Description of projects area and activity: This verification authorizes the permanent discharge of fill material into 0.035 acre of
riparian, non-riverine wetlands and into 178 linear feet (0.025 acre) of stream channel, with 154 linear feet (0.02 acre)
resulting in a loss of waters to the United States (WOUS) and 24 linear feet (0.003 acre) resulting in no net loss of WOUS due
to riprap placement.
