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:
The undeveloped property consists of fallow agriculture fields, pine woodlands, hardwood forest, and riverine swamp forest associated with Buffalo Creek. Surrounding land use is
residential with some remaining agriculture areas. Some representative photos of the site are included with this submittal.
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
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 provide single family homes to the Wendell area. To achieve the full use of the property, infrastructure improvements are necessary. These include road
construction, storm water management and sewer line construction that will incur impacts to wetlands and waters.
The property was delineated by a previous consultant and the survey depicted as the Existing Conditions is a result of that delineation. Terracon was asked by the current applicant to walk
the site to determine if the delineation was accurate. Terracon performed this site review in August 2023 and found the delineation, as depicted on the survey, to be relatively accurate and
suitable for site design and permitting.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
The project will entail development of a residential, single-family home community in Wendell, NC. The property will be accessed via two entrances off Lake Glad Road. The interior road
network will incur minor wetland imp[acts in two locations (Impact Area xx and Impact Area xx). A man-made pond that is proposed as a non-404 waterbody will be utilized for storm water
management. This pond has no continuous surface connection to other wetlands or waters and has been determined to be exempt from the Neuse River Buffer Rule as well.
Typical equipment will be used such as graders, excavators, dump trucks, etc.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

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:
The project design utilizes perpendicular crossings, crossings at narrow points where applicable, and avoids the majority of the sensitive aquatic
features located onsite. The main Buffalo Creek wetland system is avoided other than a necessary sewer connection across the wetland. Fill slopes
have been minimized.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Jack and bore is being used for the sewer line along Lake Glad Road. Headwalls are being used to minimize stream channel disturbance. Rip -rap will be
directly embedded in the channel to prevent a loss of stream bed.
