Please note that this impact area is shown on the map set attached with the application. 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: S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided & minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Proposed impacts include one (1) culvert extension and one (1) stormwater discharge (deemed allowable). Impact Area 1 is proposed culvert extension. Proposed impacts include permanent (i.e. culvert), and temporary (i.e. construction access) stream impacts, and associated riparian buffer impacts. This culvert extension is necessary for a sidewalk and road widening required for the proposed project. Stream and riparian buffer impacts have been minimized by utilizing head walls at the extension. Impact Area 2 is a stormwater discharge from an SCM. This impact is considered deemed allowable per 15A NCAC 02B .0714(9)(a)(i). 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Silt fence and sediment basins will be utilized 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: Permanent loss stream impacts are less than 0.02 acres, permanent loss wetland impacts are less than 0.10 acre. Impacts have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Therefore compensatory mitigation in the form of mitigation payment has not been proposed. 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 0 V O 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 2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state Stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program? Yes N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre 2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply: Local Government State Local Government Stormwater Programs Phase II NSW USMP Water Supply Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using. Wake County Comments: Dry Ponds with level spreaders/vegetated filter strips will be utilized. G. Supplementary Information 1. Environmental Documentation No 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. NEUSE/PHASE II: We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and silvicultural operations. The Peyton Place project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within the Wake County jurisdiction, therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian buffer area, in addition Best Management Practices may be required that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved; 2) the Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit Program, this program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition to post -construction stormwater management requirements. We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information 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. Sewage will be treated by City of Raleigh. City of Raleigh has agreed to accept the flow generated from this development. 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?* Yes No 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts? Yes No 5d. Is another Federal agency involved?* Yes No 5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8? Yes No 5f. Will you cut any trees in order to conduct the work in waters of the U.S.? Yes No 5g. Does this project involve bridge maintenance or removal? Yes No 5h. Does this project involve the construction/installation of a wind turbine(s)?* Yes No Unknown 5i. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.? Yes No 5j.

There are no known elemental occurrences of Federally listed species within 1 miles of the project site. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?* Yes No 6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat? The NOAA Habitat Conservation/Habitat Protection: National Marine Fish Service; Essential Fish Habitat Mapper website was referenced. No Essential Fish Habitat was identified near the project. 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? The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS Service interactive map was referenced on March 15, 2023, no historic listings or study list entries or determined eligible listings were identified within the property boundaries. Additionally, no structures exist within the property boundaries. 8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement) 8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? Yes No 8c.
