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:*
Most of the site is fields. An area in the southern part of the site was recently cleared. The Tar River forms the site's northern boundary and forested wetlands exist in the northern part of
the site, adjacent to the river. These wetlands support a mix of bald cypress and red maple trees. A small border of forested uplands exist just south of the wetlands and supports mostly
sweetgum, with some loblolly pines, and tulip poplar. A tributary of the Tar River bisects the site and a couple of other jurisdictional channels are located within the property. A dirt road runs
off Hwy 33 through the site and crosses the tributary.
Adjacent land use is residential to the south and southwest, fields and forested areas to the northwest, the Tar River to the north, a mix of fields and commercial & residential development
to the east.
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:
49
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
3367
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to construct a residential development within the site to accommodate the housing needs of the area. Impacts to streams and riparian buffers are needed for
road crossings, sewer line installation, and stormwater outfalls. Ajurisdictional ditch impact is also needed for lot development.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The project consists of constructing a residential development with 312 single-family lots, pool/clubhouse, access roads, utilities, and stormwater facilities. The limits of disturbance will be
cleared of vegetation and graded. Utilities and roads will be installed. The roads will cross one jurisdictional stream. The road will be 28-ft, with a sidewalk and 3:1 slopes. A 48-in. culvert
will be installed at this crossing to maintain hydrologic flow and will be buried per USACE and DWR requirements. The top of the riprap will be at the same elevation as the stream bed. A
pump around system may be needed during road construction. But any impacts from this would be located within the footprint of proposed impacts as shown on the site plan and no
additional impacts will be needed.
Temporary stream and buffer impacts are needed to install a 15-in sewer line within a 40-ft easement that will cross a stream to connect into an existing sewer line on an adjacent tract.
The pipe will be open cut and material taken from the easement will be stockpiled in uplands. A pump -around system will be employed during pipe installation. The contractor will dam up
the existing pipe on the upstream end, place the pump there and run the hose around the crossing and discharge immediately downstream through a silt bag, etc. Once the pipe is
installed, material will be returned back to the trench to match pre -construction elevations and the pump -around system will be removed. Stream banks will be seeded and stabilized.
Vegetation within 30 It of the easement (centered over pipe) will be maintained.
Four stormwater outfalls are also proposed within the riparian buffer. Treated stormwater will be conveyed via pipes into 15' x 16' rip rap aprons and then to the stream. No impacts to the
stream are needed since the pipes will daylight in the back slope of the stream (see attached cross section).
Once utilities and roads are in place, homes will be constructed. Track hoe, loader, dump truck, bob cat, and other standard construction equipment will be used.

6i. 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:
A stream spans the site and could not be avoided while still accessing uplands throughout the parcel. Although there is an existing crossing, it is not in a
good location for the layout. Additionally, it is in bad condition and is washed out at either end. The applicant plans to remove it and restore banks at this
location. The road width has been reduced as much as possible to minimize buffer and stream impacts. Stormwater riprap apron dimensions have been
minimized as well. Impacts from the stormwater pipes will be temporary and the corridor will be allowed to revegetate.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
A sedimentation and erosion control permit and stormwater permit will be obtained prior to construction.
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 stream impacts are under 0.02 acre, which is the typical mitigation threshold for USACE.
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 INC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?

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.
Project will not provide access or utilities to adjacent tracts. No additional impacts are anticipated on this site in the future. A sedimentation and erosion
control permit and stormwater permit will be obtained prior
to construction.
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.
Project will tie into municipal wastewater treatment system.
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
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.

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. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program database was reviewed to determine if any rare species are known to occur on or near the site. According to their
files, no federally listed species are known to occur within the site. Several state -listed species have been identified within the Tar River, located just
north of the site. The Atlantic sturgeon, bald eagle, and Neuse River waterdog are known to occur within a one mile radius of the site. The bald eagle
nest is located approximately one mile northeast of the site. The proposed project will not affect this species. The USFWS IPaC database was also
reviewed and
several species were identified as potentially occurring in the region. Many of these species are aquatic. According to the Species Status Assessment
reports from the USFWS, the Neuse Waterdog and Atlantic pigtoe are not known to occur in the Lower Tar Management Unit, which is the section of
river that the project drains to. Additionally, the dwarf wedgemussel and Tar River Spinymussel are not known to occur in streams in Pitt County.
Additionally, the stream located on site is likely too small to provide suitable habitat for the listed aquatic species. Furthermore, erosion control and
stormwater permits will limit impacts to downstream waters. Most of the site is cleared, but the northwestern part of the tract is currently forested. This
area could potentially provide appropriate winter and summer roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat. DRG prepared a determination key for the
NLEB, which resulted in a NLAA determination.
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 EFH 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? *
The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS mapping resource was used to determine the presence of known cultural or historic resources.
No cultural or historical resources were noted within or adjacent to the site.
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:
Most of the project is located outside of the 100 yr-0oodplain. However, the sewer line stream crossing and one stormwater ouffall will be located within
the floodplain. Engineer will coordination with floodplain development manager to ensure FEMA requirements are met.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?
Information from engineer and FEMA Flood Map Service Center website.
