4. Project Description and History
Q
u

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 project site is Phase 3C of the Grayson Park Subdivision, where Phase 3A is currently under construction. Phase 3C is currently undergoing logging and contains cleared upland
areas, where spoil mounds were stored. Pine flat and Pocosin type wetlands meander throughout the subdivision and bisect the property in such a way that access to available uplands is
cut off, without crossing the wetlands (see attached 2014 AJD). Residential is the main land use in the vicinity of the proposed project.
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:
7.0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
0
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of this project is to provide interconnectivity between Phases 3A and 3C of the Grayson Park Subdivision, which will provide housing in an area where the demand is very
high.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
The project will entail removing vegetation and unsuitable soils from the two wetland areas and installing connector pipes, which will ensure hydrology can pass between the remaining
wetland complex, and back filling with clean earthen soil. In total, the two road crossings will permanently impact 0.25-acre of wetlands. Large machinery, such as dump trucks, front end
loaders and backhoes, will be used to complete the work.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes No G Unknown
Comments:
SEGi is not seeking a JD with this action request.
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?
Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A
Corps AID Number:
Previously issued under SAW-2015-02611
5c. If 5a is yes, who delineated the jurisdictional areas?
Name (if known): Tom Gulley
Agency/Consultant Company: Land Management Group
Other:
6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project? *
Yes G No
6b. If yes, explain.
This is Phase 3C of an eight phase subdivision, which previously received authorization to permanently impact 0.24-acre of non -riparian wetlands, which was necessary to cross two
wetlands, in Phases 2B and 2C (see attached). The work has been completed in accordance with the approved plan. All impacts within the Grayson Park S.D. are to be treated
cumulatively. Therefore, the previously authorized and proposed wetland impacts will total 0.49-acre.
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?

2i. Comments:
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:
Prior to designing the project, the Applicant had the wetlands delineated and surveyed. Once it was determined avoiding wetland impacts was not
possible, the Applicant designed the roads to cross the wetlands as perpendicular as possible and minimize the width of the crossing by reducing the
slope of the fill. Additionally, connector pipes were included in the design to ensure hydrology is not altered and wildlife can pass through.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed prior to performing land disturbing activities, which should ensure sediment does not discharge
into wetlands and/or outside the approved limits of disturbance. The measures will be inspected regularly and repaired/replaced when needed.
Furthermore, the Applicant incorporated a connector pipe to ensure hydrology is maintained between the remaining wetlands.
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
2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
D W R Corps
2d. If yes, which mitigation option(s) will be used for this project?
Mitigation bank Payment to in -lieu fee program Permittee Responsible Mitigation
3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank
3a. Name of Mitigation Bank:
Lower Cape Fear UMB
3b. Credits Purchased/Requested (attach receipt and letter)
Type: Quantity:
Non -riparian wetland 0.50
3c. Comments

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
If no, explain why:
The project is not within one of NC's Riparian Buffer River Basins.
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
Comments:
Stormwater will be permitted through the town of Leland.
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
O
O
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.
This project will not require additional wetland impacts to make it viable, but did require 0.24-acre of wetland impacts to compete two previous phases,
thus in total 0.49-acre of permanent wetland impacts will have taken place. Stormwater and sediment and erosion control best management practices
should ensure there are no impacts to downstream receiving waters.
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.
Municipal sewer is available and has been approved by the local authority.
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?

IPaC was utilized to obtain an official species list (see attached). The Phase 3B and Phase 3C have recently been logged. Thus, the project will have no
effect on NLEB and/or RCW, as habitat is no longer present. See attached IPaC NLEB No Effect Letter and RCW SLOPES form attached.
