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 proposed project is in Rolesville, Wake County, North Carolina, and will be accessed via Genovesa Drive. Genovesa Drive is associated with an existing residential development
known as Cedar Lakes. The project parcel is adjacent to the Villages of Rolesville and Cedar Lakes residential communities and abuts Highway 401 (Lousiburg Road) along the eastern
boundary of the project parcel. A sanitary sewer easement is located within the western boundary of property. The site is currently undeveloped. Land use within the vicinity of the project
is primarily residential.
This application was previously submitted on January 30, 2023. An unnamed tributary to Harris Creek located in proposed Impact Area 1 has since been resurveyed to correctly reflect the
stream's top -of -bank. This information was inaccurate on the previously submitted documentation and has been updated to reflect new stream impact totals. During this review, we found
the buffer from an off -site stream (Stream 19) would be impacted by the proposed road crossing (Impact Area 1 - 135). The limits of disturbance for a proposed greenway trail associated
with Impact Area 4 have also been updated to maintain a forested buffer on Harris Creek. The application and impact maps have been revised to include the additional buffer impact and
revise buffer quantities as appropriate.
Please refer to the attached USGS Location Map (Figure 1), Wake County Soil Survey Map (Figure 2), and Aerial Map (Figure 3) for more information on the project setting
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.085
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
4,650
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide residential housing to serve the current and future residents of Rolesville.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The infrastructure necessary to support the proposed 120-single-family lot development includes roads, sidewalks, a sanitary sewer connection, three stormwater control measures, and a
greenway trail.
The proposed project includes four stream crossings. The primary stream crossing is for an access road that ties into Genovesa Drive. Two stream crossings, comprised of a pedestrian
bridge and a 10 LF extension of an existing culvert, respectively, are related to a proposed greenway trail that spans the western and southwestern border of the property. The proposed
greenway trail will follow a sanitary sewer easement and connect to an existing tunnel under U.S. Route 401. The trail will provide greenway access to residents of The Point North, The
Point South, The Villages of Rolesville, and Cedar Lakes. The remaining stream crossing is temporary and associated with connecting to an existing sanitary sewer line.
An impact map depicting the proposed stream and buffer impacts and the site layout is attached.
Heavy equipment typical for earth -moving and construction would be utilized for the proposed projects, such as track hoes, dump trucks, and graders. A pump around system will be
utilized to separate construction from flowing streams for all proposed stream impacts.

Buffer impacts for the road crossing in Impact Area 1 were reduced due to the top of bank revision. Buffer quantities were also revised to reflect Zone 1
of the off -site buffered stream (Stream 19), and an additional buffer impact (135) from the nonperpendicular buffer impact was added. The previously
submitted Impact Exhibits incorrectly showed a buffer on Stream 16 (Impact Area 3) that is not subject to the buffer rule. The buffer quantities have been
revised to reflect this correction. Buffer impacts for the greenway trail in Impact Area 4 have been reduced by limiting the disturbance to maintain as
much forested buffer along the stream bank as possible.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The applicant obtained a delineation of surface waters and wetlands on the site prior to designing the project to avoid and minimize impacts to these
resources to the maximum extent practicable.
The stream crossing associated with the road extension from Genovesa Drive provides the only available option for accessing the site. Other potential
entry routes are inaccessible due to previous development and/or are located offsite. Even if alternative access routes were available from the
neighboring properties, the project would still require at least one stream crossing for site access.
The proposed greenway trail alignment was selected because it requires the least amount of stream crossings on Harris Creek and/or unnamed
tributaries and avoids steeper topography on the site. A bridge is proposed for one of the two crossings associated with the greenway trail, and will span
entirely from top -of -bank to top -of -bank. Impacts for the proposed bridge are for the riparian buffer only. The remaining greenway trail crossing will utilize
an existing culvert that will be extended by 10 LF. The proposed trail follows an existing sanitary sewer easement in order to minimize riparian buffer
impacts.
The limits of disturbance associated with the proposed greenway trail has been adjusted to provide a minimum of five feet of forested riparian buffer.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
A sediment and Erosion Control Plan for the project will be planned and approved by the Wake County Stormwater and Erosion Control Division, and the
project will comply with the supplementary NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000). All construction equipment will be operated from high
ground. A pump around system will be utilized for proposed stream impacts in order to separate the construction area from the flowing stream. Culverts
will be buried 1-foot on the centerline of the stream channel to maintain aquatic passage. Clean riprap associated with culvert dissipators will be
embedded to maintain the original stream profile and bed elevation.
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 project involves 0.012 acre and 97 linear feet of stream loss, below the mitigation thresholds of 0.02 acre for the USACE and 300 linear feet for DWR, and does not involve wetland
impacts.
6b. If yes, then identify the square feet of impact.
