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 Deep River East Phase 2 site (the Site) is approximately 50.24 acres located approximately 0.14-mile southeast of the intersection of Cumnock Road and Cotten Road in Sanford,
North Carolina within Lee County. The Site consists of mixed -hardwood pine forest and open maintained area. The Site is bound by Cotten Road and forested areas to the north; by
forested areas and commercial and residential development to the east; and by forested areas and U.S. Highway 421 to the south and west.
The proposed residential development will consist of 90 single-family homes; amenities such as a greenway, bus stop, mail kiosk, and green space; stormwater control measures (SCMs);
roadways; and utility improvements (i.e., public water supply and sanitary sewer alignment). Approximately 25.51 acres of the Site will be designated as open space.
A delineation of the western portion of the Site was completed by Timmons Group on March 25, 2021 and April 8, 2021. An informal PJD approval (SAW-2021-00985) was received from
Lyle Phillips of the USACE on February 16, 2022 after the on -Site review on June 17, 2021. Since the on -Site review and informal PJD approval, the review area was expanded by 11.6
acres along the southeastern portion of the Site to include the total anticipated limits of disturbance associated with the project. Timmons Group conducted a field delineation on February
14, 2023 to identify potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) within the additional area that is now included in the Site. During the delineation of the additional area, it was
determined that there were uplands present within areas that were previously delineated and confirmed as wetland. On February 27, 2023, a portion of the Site totaling 35.8 acres
immediately west of the additional area that was previously confirmed was re -delineated. At the time of this permit application, the additional area and the area that was re -delineated has
not been confirmed by the USACE. The Preliminary Jurisdictional (PJD) request addendum submitted on March 21, 2023 is included in Appendix B. Additional information of the
ephemeral features onsite was provided to the USACE on April 14, 2023.
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:
5.02
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to construct a single-family residential development and the necessary amenities with community cohesion within northwestern Lee County.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The proposed project is a multi -phased residential development that is located approximately 0.14-mile southeast of the intersection of Cumnock Road and Cotton Road in Sanford, North
Carolina within Lee County.
The proposed residential development will consist of 90 single-family home lots; amenities such as a greenway trail, bus stop, mail kiosk, and green space; stormwater control measures;
roadways; and utility improvements (i.e., public water supply and sanitary sewer alignment).
All work will be conducted in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Traditional equipment will be used consisting of front-end loaders, bulldozers, paving equipment,
graders, and earth movers. SCMs are required and will be used.

3j. Comments:
The Deep River East project is proposing a total of 28-I.f. (0.0013-ac.) of permanent and 70-I.f. (0.0062-ac). of temporary stream impacts
Impact 1 consists of 28-If (0.0013-ac./56-sq.ft.) of permanent fill stream impact associated with site grading. A 5-ft. temporary construction buffer
resulting in 5-If (0.0002-ac./10-sq.ft.) of temporary stream impact has been included to account temporary impacts to the stream that may result from the
grading (Sheet CWI-2.1). The temporary impact areas will be stabilized prior to construction and all impacted areas will be returned to pre -construction
conditions immediately following installation (Sheet CWI-3.0). Additionally, a stormwater outlet with a rip rap dissipator is being proposed to maintain
appropriate hydrological input to the stream feature that will avoid indirect loss.
Impacts 2 and 5 total 65-If (0.006-ac./260-sq.ft.) of temporary stream impacts associated with the installation of an aerial sewer line to connect the
proposed development to public utilities. Downstream flow will be maintained during installation and all impacted areas will be returned to pre -
construction conditions immediately following installation. Additionally, pilings will be placed 20-feet apart and greater than 5 feet from the top -of -bank
JOB) of the stream.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation O
1. Avoidance and Minimization

1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to jurisdictional features have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating resourceful site planning,
including utilization of the wetland/stream delineation to adjust the layout of the Site design to avoid and minimize impacts. The remaining impacts
proposed are necessary in order for the project's goals to be realized.
The aerial sewer line will avoid and minimize potential impacts to wetlands and streams and reduce the likelihood of erosion and stream obstructions by
installing the pipe a sufficient distance above the bankfull elevation, avoiding direct impacts to streams, and reducing the number and size of piers to
only what is necessary. Erosion and sediment control measures will be used to avoid and minimize any potential impacts to water quality.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and installation as described in accordance with the
requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources: Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual (May 2013) and
local codes. All work will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -jurisdictional, stable ground. The contractor shall install
silt fence, inlet protection, sediment traps, division ditches, temporary coffer dams, tree protection, and clearing only as necessary to install devices. All
erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once
every week. Any needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control inspections report is required and will
be kept by the owner's representative.
Temporary seeding and permanent seeding plans are included to restore impacted areas. The project will meet all relative requirements of Best
Management Practices and Engineered Stormwater Control Structures as outlined through State and Local Stormwater Rules. Measures will be taken to
prevent oil, tar, trash, debris, and other pollutants from entering adjacent jurisdictional features. Any excess excavated materials not utilized as back fill
will be placed and contained within upland areas and permanently stabilized to prevent erosion into adjacent jurisdictional features. Therefore,
stockpiling of excavated material within jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be strictly prohibited as part of the construction of this project. All project
construction activities initiated within jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period of
disturbance within jurisdictional waters.
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 proposed impacts do not exceed the NWP threshold of 0.1-acre of wetland impact and 0.02-acre of stream impact, therefore, no mitigation is required.
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
If no, explain why:
The project is located within the Cape Fear River Basin and therefore is not subject to the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules.
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
3. Stormwater Requirements
No
0
u
3a. Select whether a completed stormwater management plan (SMP) is included for review and approval or if calculations are provided to document the project will not cause degradation of
downstream surface waters.*
Stormwater Management Plan Antidegradation Calculations
Comments:
The City of Sanford reviews stormwater management plans (SMPs) as part of the construction review process; however, there are no local stormwater program or permitting requirements.
Also, the project is not located in a Phase II Stormwater area. Therefore, a stormwater permit is not required for this project. Stormwater control measures are still proposed, and additional
plans are attached in Appendix D of the attachments.

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.
The proposed project is a single and complete project that will not result in additional impacts. All impacts associated with the project are accounted for
herein.

Yes No

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
A search of the USFWS Information and Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database on May 30, 2023 identified two federally protected species as
potentially occurring within the project area: the Cape Fear shiner and Harperella. The IPaC database further identified one candidate species for listing,
the monarch butterfly, as potentially occurring within the project area. The IPaC database also included the tri-colored bat as proposed endangered. No
critical habitats were identified within the project area or a 1-mile radius. Additionally, a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP)
database on April 18,2023 did not identify any Federally threatened or endangered species within the project area. However, the NHP report did identify
one elemental occurrence for the Cape Fear shiner (EO ID 3224) within a 1-mile radius of the project area. State listed species were found within the
project area as listed in the attached NHP report. The NHP report also identified two natural areas documented with a mile radius of the Site, including
Endor Iron Furnace Natural Area and CPF/Deep River below High Falls Aquatic Habitat.
Cape Fear shiner is most often found in rocky pools and runs adjacent to riffles in wide, shallow segments of rivers with gravel, cobble and/or boulder
substrates with forested banks. Streams with flatter gradients and sand/silt dominated substrata are less suitable habitat for the Cape Fear shiner, but
these areas may be used to move between rocky sections of the stream. According to NCNHP data, Cape Fear shiner has been documented in Deep
River within 1 mile of the Site; however, Big Buffalo Creek connects to the Deep River approximately 1.2-miles downstream of the Site. Although
perennial stream features I and D4 are predominantly made up of cobble and gravel with sand, silt, and detritus throughout with flowing water, they both
splay into the forested wetland area in the central area of the Site, and have no direct hydrological connection to Big Buffalo Creek, and ultimately to
Deep River. Intermittent stream feature R4, located further downslope than feature I, is predominantly made up of sandy and silty bed substrate, with
little cobble, and gravel, with weak baseflow and weak in -channel structure. This intermittent stream feature is suspected to connect with Big Buffalo
Creek downstream but does not connect within the Site limits. Perennial stream feature C4, Big Buffalo Creek, is located along the very southern
boundary of the Site. Although Big Buffalo Creek contains suitable habitat for Cape Fear shiner, construction activities will not be occurring in the vicinity
of the stream. No species observations were made within any streams during site investigations and the NCNHP report did not identify any documented
species occurrences within the Site. Only temporary stream impacts are proposed for the project to install an aerial sewer line across two intermittent
unnamed tributaries of Big Buffalo Creek. The aerial stream crossing will avoid and minimize potential impacts to the Cape Fear shiner by installing the
pipe above the bankfull elevation, avoiding direct impacts to streams, and reducing the number and size of piers to only what is necessary. Due to the
lack of suitable habitat at the proposed stream impact locations, it is our opinion that the project will have no effect on the Cape Fear shiner.
Harperella occupies both riverine and ponded habitats. In the riverine habitat, it grows on rocky, sandy, or gravelly shoals and margins of clear, swift
flowing reaches of seasonally flooded streams. It can also be in such fluvial habitats as crevices of exposed bedrock and, rarely, along sheltered muddy
stream banks. The streams onsite do not represent suitable habitat due to the lack of swift flowing reaches and exposed bedrock. The streams onsite
are made up of mostly sand, silt, cobble, and gravel, with sheltered, stream banks. No species observations were made within or around any onsite
streams during site investigations and the NCNHP report did not identify any documented species occurrences within the Site or a 1-mile radius.
Therefore, it our opinion that the project will have no effect on Harperella.
On September 14, 2022, the USFWS announced a proposal to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the ESA. The USFWS has not provided an
official effective listing date, but it is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2023. Upon listing, the USFWS is expected to provide an area of
influence/distribution range for tricolored bat. During the winter, tricolored bats are found in raves and mines, although in the southern United States,
where caves are sparse, tricolored bats are often found roosting in road -associated culverts. During the spring, summer, and fall, tricolored bats are
found in forested habitats where they roost in trees, primarily among leaves, and within artificial roosts like barns, beneath porch roofs, bridges, concrete
bunkers, culverts, and rarely within caves. The Site is occupied by mixed hardwood and pine forested areas. The culverts onsite are less than 5 feet in
diameter and would not be suitable roosting and hibernating habitat for tricolored bat. The NCNHP database did not identify any known occurrences
within a 1-mile radius of the Site. According to NCNHP data, the nearest documented occurrence of tricolored bat is approximately 10 miles from the
Site. Due to the presence of potential suitable roosting habitat in forested areas, it is our opinion that the proposed project is not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of the tricolored bat.
The monarch butterfly's habitat is ubiquitous throughout the state and disturbance to areas with potentially suitable habitat is minimal. Therefore, it is our
opinion that the proposed project will have no effect on the monarch butterfly.
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 Mapper
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?
A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Preservation Office's (HPO) online database and the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural
Resources (DNCR) Division of Historical Resources (DHR) data identified 16 historical resources as occurring within a 1-mile radius of the proposed
project limits. No historical resources were identified within the project area. The listings identified within the specified search radius include one
Centerpoint for a Historic District (SLHD), one Individual National Register listing (NR), one Surveyed Only — Gone (SD), one Study List (SL), nine
Surveyed Only (SO) sites, and three Blockface (BF). The nearest listing, the Saint Paul AME Zion Church and Cemetery Site ID LE0228 (SO), is located
approximately 0.09-mile west of the Subject Property. A total of 10 of the listing were within the limits of the Historic District listing, approximately 0.23-
mile northwest of the Subject Property.
Considering the proposed project's consistency with the surrounding land use, along with all proposed work being limited to the project area, the project
area's distance from all listings, and existing land use between the site and listings, the proposed project should have no effect on historical resources.
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:
According to FEMA FIRM Panels 3710963500K and 3710962500K (effective date 02/02/2007), the southern portions of the project area are located
within Zone AE, an area with 1 % annual chance flood hazard with base flood elevations between 229 to 231 feet above mean sea level. The remainder
of the site is located within Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. The 100-year floodplain is associated with Big Buffalo Creek.
Work proposed in the floodplain or floodway is limited to those associated with the construction of a sanitary sewer easement and aerial sewer line.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?"
FEMA FIRM panels 3710963500K and 3710962500K (effective 02/02/2007)
