Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. F&R is not aware of future permit requests in connection with this project. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, Page 3 of 9 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: The project will consist of installing an approximate 115 feet long reinforced concrete ~p~RCP) culvert with flared end sections of approximately 48 inches in diameter into the channel. The culvert will be placed slightly below current grade of the stream to allow for maximum water flow. The culvert will have rip-rap velocit~issipater outlet protection approximately 15 feet in len tg h. Compacted earthen fill will be placed over the culvert to bring the roadway to the posed grade. A curb-and-gutter street section approximately 41 feet in width with a 5 foot wide sidewalk will be constructed upon the fill. In addition to the stream crossing 0.28 acre of wooded Neuse Buffer will need to be cleared for the bronosed road. street section with asphalt pavement and one 5 foot wide_section of sidewalk.

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. 8. Pond Creation 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 Page 5 of 9 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. The purpose of the proposed road is to meet the needs of the City of Raleigh's Master Transportation Plan. The proposed road is part of the City of Raleigh's Collector Road S s and is required to meet the City's 1 500 foot grid rule. On behalf of Pulte Homes Inc F&R has made good faith efforts to avoid the stream and buffer impacts In addition to individual meetings held with the DWQ and USACE at the project site to discuss the proposed road good faith efforts included several telephone conversations and email correspondences between the City of Raleigh the DWQ the USACE and F&R over a period of a few months In addition an onsite meetings was help on October 26 2005 which all interested parties were invited The USACE the City of Raleigh Pulte and F&R participated and discussed the proposed road and associated stream and buffers impacts. At this meeting several alternates were discussed including the "no build alternative" and other potential locations within the area for a collector road. The road is mostly located in right of way that was dedicated in the year 2000 and creates as perpendicular a stream crossing as practical. The road right of way is currentlyproposed to shift slightly to the east to avoid parallel impacts to the Neuse River Buffer Not building the road would fail to meet the City of Raleigh's Collector Road System initiative VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of Page 6 of 9 aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Since the proposed impacts have been minimized as much as practical are under commonly held thresholds for requirin mitigation and the effects on the aquatic environment are minimal, F&R is requestin compensatory mitigation be waived Currently compensatory mitigation is not being offered. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

This proposed roadway is an element of the US 70 Corridor Plan, which is an adopted transportation plan that was developed by NCDOT and the City of Raleigh in 1991. This plan proposes a system of parallel collector streets along US 70. These streets are intended to provide alternate means of access at such time that US 70 is upgraded to an expressway facility. This expressway upgrade is anticipated in conjunction with a funded NCDOT Transportation Improvement Program Project (U-2823), which will entail widening the roadway and removing direct access to many of the properties along the corridor. These parallel collector streets will become the primary means of access for most of the properties along the highway. The right of-way needed for the extension of Barefoot Industrial Drive south to Marvino Lane was dedicated as part of a subdivision of the Bobby L. Murray property in 1998. This dedication was made prior to the enactment of the Neuse River riparian buffer regulations in 1998. The platted right of-way does not appear to cross the stream in a manner that minimizes the impact, and we would strongly support closure and replatting of the right-of-way to create a perpendicular crossing. We would also encourage shifting the overall alignment of the roadway away from the parallel buffer impacts. If you have any questions or need any other information, please give me a call at (919) 516-2161 or email me at eric.lamb~ci.raleigh.nc.us. Sincerely, G~9 ~~-- Eric J.

F&R presents herein the results of the wetland delineation completed for the above mentioned project site located approximately 1,000' north of the intersection of Glenwood Road and Ebenezer church Road in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. F&R personnel delineated one wetland, one jurisdictional stream, and one non jurisdictional stream on the project site. The delineation is depicted on the attached F&R Wetland Field Map (see Wetland Field Map in Attachment A for approximate locations). SCOPE OF SERVICES The wetland delineation was performed in accordance with F&R's proposal no. 0666-609E and was conducted in general accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. The routine wetland determination, as described in Section D Subsection 3, was employed. The methodology used for determining the stream classifications is in general accordance with US Army Corps of Engineer's Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet Dated June 2003 and the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources -Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Stream Classification Method Internal Guidance Manual dated February 25, 200.5. HEADQUARTERS: 3015 DUMBARTON ROAD ~ BOX 27524 ~ RICHMOND, VA 2326 i-7524 TELEPHONE (804) 264-2701 ~ FAX (804) 2641202 ~ www.FandR.com BRANCHES: ASHEVILLE, NC ~ BALTIMORE, MD ~ CHARLOTTE, NC ~ CHESAPEAKE, VA CROZET, VA ~ FAYETTEVILLE, NC ~ FREDERICKSBURG, VA GREENVILLE, SC ~ HICKORY, NC • RALEIGH, NC ~ ROANOKE, VA ~ STERLING, VA SINCE ~~ 1881 PRELIMINARY DATA GATHERING PHASE The USGS 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle Map of "Bay Leaf, NC" dated 1987, located in the Attachment B as Figure No. 1, was reviewed for obvious indications of wetlands or other Waters of the U.S. on the site. Based on F&R's review of the USGS map, an unnamed tributary of Sycamore Creek runs north to south along the western border of the project site. F&R reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) on-line GEOTRACT mapping system (see Figure No.2 in Attachment B). The NWI mapping system depicted no wetlands on the project site. The Soil Survey for Wake County was reviewed for evidence of hydric soils and "Waters of the US" on the project site (see Figure No. 3 in Attachment B). The soil survey depicts several different soil series on the project site. Wedhadkee and Bibb soil series (Wo) is the only hydric soil listed on the project site. One perennial stream channel, an unnamed tributary of Sycamore Creek, is depicted on the soil survey. A branch of that channel, heir in referred to as Channel "A" is also shown. An aerial photograph of the project site dated 2000 was reviewed as part of this wetlands delineation (see Figure No. 4 in Attachment B). The aerial photograph depicts the proposed project site as wooded land partially developed for residential use. ON-SITE OBSERVATIONS The Routine Determination Field Data Sheets completed at the wetland Observation Points are included in Attachment C. At the Observation Points, a determination of the three criteria for wetlands -- hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology and hydric soils was completed. Mr. Christopher J. Burkhardt of F&R performed the site observations on June 15, 20, and, 24, 2005. The on-site observations consisted of a walking the perimeter of the wetlands affected by the proposed project site and several transects through the potential wetland areas noted during preliminary data gathering. The majority of the project site consists of wooded land partially developed for residential use. The wetland area consists of wooded land. F&R established observation points on the project site to confirm the location of the wetland boundary (see Routine Determination Field Data Sheets in Attachment C). In addition, F&R evaluated Two stream channels to determine Their classification using the DWQ's Stream Classification Method as well as the US Army Corps of Engineer's Stream Glemvood Crossing 2 June 29, 2005 Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina F&R Project No G66-5058E SIMCE ~~ 1881 Quality Assessment Worksheet. Based on F&R's evaluation, the Main stream channel appears to be jurisdictional and subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules, which requires a 50' buffer on either side of the channel (see Stream Classification Forms in Attachment D). Based of F&R's Scoring, channel A is an ephemeral channel that is not jurisdictional and therefore not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. CONCLUSIONS Based on F&R's wetlands delineation, one jurisdictional wetland and one stream channel are located on the project site as indicated on the Wetlands Field Map included in Attachment A of this report. Based on F&R's scoring of "Channel A", which is delineated with the 2000 series of flags, the channel is ephemeral, not jurisdictional and not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. F&R is submitting this report to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) for a jurisdictional determination (JD) and to the NC DWQ for a determination of Neuse Buffer Rule Compliance. Prior to impacting the area adjacent to the wetland boundary, or the identified channels, the USAGE JD and NC DWQ Neuse Buffer Rule determination should be completed. F&R has made the next available appointment with the USAGE for the JD to be performed on August 30, 2005. F&R has also made the next available appointment with the NC DWQ for a determination of Neuse Buffer Rule Compliance on July 13, 2005. Once the USAGE JD and NC DWQ Neuse Buffer Rule Compliance are completed, a NC licensed surveyor should be retained to survey the wetland boundary flagged by F&R. Once the survey is complete, F&R will review and then submit to the USAGE for their certification of the wetlands and other "Waters of the US" located on the project site. Once the surveyor has produced a wetlands boundary survey and a site development plan is available, F&R can assist with permitting needs. F&R recommends that alternatives to impacting these areas be considered, and if impacts are determined necessary that these impacts be minimized as much as practical.

Channel sinuosity: Straight -Occasional bends X Frequent meander -Very sinuous -Braided channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the chazacteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the chazacter of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

At your request, an evaluation was performed to determine whether two features as indicated by a blue high lighter on the attached map would require Impliance with the Neuse River Buffer requirements. (Please note: these aze the only atures that I reviewed). Feature # 1 as indicated on the attached map is a stream and is bject to the Riparian Buffer Rule. Feature # 2 as indicated on the attached map is not stream and is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. so, the attached map indicates a proposed road pathway crossing the subject stream. e intent of this correspondence is not to provide Regional concurrence with the cement of the proposed road crossing foot print, only what is subject to the Neuue Iarian Buffer Rule. iddition, in accordance with the rule, concentrated runoff from new ditches or unade conveyances must be dispersed into sheet flow before the runoff enters Zone 'the riparian area.

The surveyed / `wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will make a final jurisdictional determination on your property. 0 Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your wetlands cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to obtain a consultant to obtain a more timely delineation of the wetlands. Once the consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property, Corps staff will review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for final approval by the ~/ Corps. The Corps will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property without an approved survey. 9~ The wetlands on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of the Corps jurisdiction have been explained to you. \ Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. 0 There are no wetlands present on the above described property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344).
