The northern portion of the Site contains constructed homes and graded lots. The southern portion of the Site is mostly vacant farmland with occasional forested areas. Land use in the
vicinity includes residential, agricultural and forested land, and undeveloped land.
A PCN application was submitted on April 9, 2018, by Mr. Sean Clark of Sage. A 404 verification was issued on June 29, 2018 (SAW-2018-00897). A 401 verification and a Tar -Pamlico
River Riparian Buffer Authorization were issued on May 24, 2018 (NCDWR #18-0511). The northern portion of the Project has been constructed, and Impact Area C has been completed.
However, Impact Areas A and B were not completed prior to the expiration of the 404/401 verifications. No changes to the previously permitted impacts are proposed.
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).

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the Project is to construct a residential subdivision with associated roads, utilities, and other infrastructure.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:"
The proposed Project involves construction of a residential development with attendant infrastructure. Access to the Site will be provided by road connections to existing Oak Park
Boulevard. Currently, the northern portion of the Project has been constructed. The attached Overall Impact Map sheet depicts the completed portion with hatching and callouts. This
includes Impact Site C — 0.079 acre of permanent wetland fill. Impact Sites A and B have not been completed. There are no proposed changes to these impact sites from the previous
submittal.
Permanent riparian buffer impacts will result from a proposed sewerfine crossing at Impact Site A. Proposed permanent stream and riparian buffer impacts will result from a proposed
culverted road crossing and a driveway at Impact Site B.
The Project proposes to tie into existing utilities adjacent to the Site. Stormwater detention ponds are proposed to treat stormwater on the Site. Typical equipment used in construction and
utility projects (i.e., backhoes, excavators, dump trucks) will be utilized.

Total combined buffer impacts: 8,664.00 8,404.00
6i. Comments:
Impact A - the proposed aerial sewerline crossing will have a 30-ft wide construction corridor and a 20-ft wide maintenance easement. Total proposed
permanent Zone 1 impacts are 1,014 SF and proposed Zone 2 impacts are 1,305 SF. This impact is considered "Deemed Allowable" per the Table of
Uses.
Impact B - the proposed road crossing will result in 7,650 SF (0.175 ac) of permanent Zone 1 impacts and 6,696 SF (0.154 ac) of permanent Zone 2
impacts for a total of 14,346 SF (0.329 ac). Due to site constraints, this road crossing could not be designed perpendicularly to the stream; therefore, this
impact is considered "Allowable with Mitigation."
Impact B - the proposed driveway impact will result in 403 SF (0.009 ac) or permanent Zone 2 impact. The driveway does not cross the stream;
therefore, this impact is considered "Allowable with Mitigation."
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:
A wetland, stream, and riparian buffer delineation were performed to identify environmentally sensitive areas on the Site prior to site design. The Project
was designed to avoid & minimize impacts to jurisdictional features while meeting the goals of the residential development plan. Streams are not
crossed multiple times by roads. The sewerline utility at Impact Area A will not result in impacts to the stream. The road crossing at Impact Area B was
aligned to avoid impacts to the adjacent downstream wetland.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Equipment
will be parked and cleaned in uplands away from jurisdictional areas. Work within jurisdictional areas will be conducted during periods when dry weather
is predicted, and large bare areas of soil will be reseeded and protected as soon as practicable. Silt fencing and sediment basins will also be used to
prevent sediment runoff into the stream and wetland areas.
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:
Proposed permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.1 acre and proposed permanent stream impacts are less than 150 LF and 0.02 acre. Therefore, mitigation for impacts to Waters of
the U.S. are not proposed.
6b. If yes, then identify the square feet of impact.

6g. If buffer mitigation is required, is payment to a mitigation bank or NC Division of Mitigation Services proposed?
Yes No
6j. Comments:
Compensatory buffer mitigation is proposed for unavoidable permanent impacts to riparian buffers for a non -perpendicular road and driveway crossing at
Impact Area B. A total of 33,599 riparian buffer credits will be purchased from the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS).
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No

G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. 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 Cedar Creek, which is Class C; 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 Project proposes to tie into existing sewer line adjacent to the Site.
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 Unknown
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.?

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
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. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database, seven threatened and endangered
species, one Proposed Endangered species, one Candidate species, and the bald eagle are potentially present on the Site. Project waters do not
provide suitable habitat for Carolina madtom, Atlantic pigtoe, dwarf wedgemussel, Tar River spinymussel, and yellow lance as they are small first order
streams with slow velocity and are dominated by silt substrates. Soils on the site range from slightly acidic to very strongly acidic which are not preferred
by Michaux's sumac. Potential habitat within Cedar Creek for Neuse River waterdog is present; however, Cedar Creek experiences periods of high
turbidity which may affect this species. Per the USFWS, the nearest dwarf wedgemussel identified stream reach is +/-2.14 river miles downstream of the
Site. The nearest identified stream reach for Carolina madtom, Atlantic pigtoe, and yellow lance is over 20 river miles from the Site. Potential habitat for
tri-colored bat (Proposed Endangered) and monarch butterfly (Candidate) is present on the Site. There are several ponds of sufficient size to support
foraging habitat nearby the Site; however, no visible signs of bald eagle habitat are present on the Site. The INC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP)
database report indicates no known occurrences of threatened or endangered species on or within 1.0 mile of the Site (see attached report dated April
25, 2023).
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? *
NOAA Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Mapper: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/map/essential-fish-habitat-mapper
The Project is located in Franklin County which does not contain any Essential Fish Habitat.
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 Site is not listed as a historic property or within a historic district. No historic structures were found on the Site. Five historic properties and one
historic district were identified within one mile of the Site. Three properties are designated as "Surveyed Only (SO)", and two properties are designated
as "SO -Gone." The Raleigh & Gaston Rail Corridor (NC0008) is designated as a "Determined Eligible' boundary located west of the Site. Figure 4
provides a graphical representation and description of these properties.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? *
Yes No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
A portion of the northeastern boundary of the Site contains FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain, however, no structures are proposed to be
constructed within this area.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?
