4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the Project is to construct a residential subdivision with associated attendant features (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. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and streams are proposed to reach upland portions
of the Site for development. Access to the Site will be provided by one road connection to the existing Enon Road to the south. The Project proposes to utilize on -site well and septic
systems for drinking water and wastewater treatment, respectively.
Proposed permanent wetland and stream impacts will result from one culverted road crossing. Proposed permanent wetland impacts total 0.007 acre (333 SF) and proposed permanent
stream impacts total 85 LF (664 SF / 0.015 acre) to install one culvert. A riprap dissipator pad at the culvert outlet is proposed as permanent — no loss impacts totaling 32 LF (828 SF /
0.019 acre). The riprap will be keyed into the banks and will be installed flush with the existing stream bed elevation. Temporary stream impacts due to dewatering to construct the culvert
will be 58 LF (467 SF / 0.01 acre). Proposed temporary wetland impacts total 387 SF (0.009 acre) for culvert construction.
Stormwater detention ponds are proposed to treat stormwater on the Site. Typical equipment used in residential construction and utility projects (i.e., backhoes, excavators, dump trucks)
will be utilized.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
0
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. Lots were positioned to
avoid impacts to wetlands. The construction of the stormwater control measures avoids impacts to jurisdictional features. Sage worked closely with the
design engineer to minimize the impacts of the culverted stream crossing. The original iteration would have required stream mitigation; however, the final
site design is below mitigation thresholds.
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 stream and wetland impacts are below mitigable thresholds and proposed riparian buffer impacts are considered "Allowable Upon Authorization." Therefore, no mitigation is
required for this Project.
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
What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
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:
The stormwater management plan will be reviewed and approved by the locally delegated authority. The applicant requests the 401 Certification approval be conditioned to require the
stormwater management plan be approved before any impacts may be conducted.
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
E)

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 Knap of the Reeds Creek, which is WS-Il, HOW, Nutrient Sensitive
Waters (NSW). 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 individual septic systems for wastewater treatment.
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.?
Yes No
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, four threatened and endangered
species, one Proposed Endangered species, one Candidate species, and the bald eagle are listed as potentially present on the Site. Potentially suitable
habitat for Carolina madtom and Neuse River waterdog is present within Stream SA (Knap of the Reeds Creek) and Stream SB. However, the closest
Identified Stream Reach (ISR) for each species is separated from the Site by the Lake Butner dam. Potential marginal habitat for harperella is present in
Stream SB. Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower is present within the overhead transmission easement that runs along the southwestern corner of the
Site. No work is proposed in this area. Potential habitat for tri-colored bat (Proposed Endangered) and monarch butterfly (Candidate) is present on the
Site. Multiple farm ponds of sufficient size to support foraging habitat for bald eagles are nearby the Site; however, no individuals or nests were observed
during the Site visit.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Yes No
