"After the Fact" Request for NWP 29, NWP 18,
GC 4256, GC 4249 & Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Authorization
Sage Project #2020.102
On behalf of Marin Woods, LLC (owner and applicant), please find attached a complete application and supplemental
information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that the activities
associated with the proposed development of the Marin Woods Subdivision (Project) may be authorized under an "After
the Fact' Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 and General Certification 4256 (GC 4256). Impacts associated with construction
of Stormwater Control Measures (SCM) are proposed under NWP 18 and GC 4249. A Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Authorization is also being requested.
Protect Purpose and Location
The Project includes the construction of a residential subdivision to meet the demand for housing in this area. The +/-
57.84-acre tract is located on the north side of NC 210, just west of the Glen Lake Apartments in Smithfield, Johnston
County, NC. The coordinates of 35.5214°N, 78.3696°W generally correspond to the center of the Site.
Project Detail
The proposed project includes the construction of a residential subdivision with associated roads, utilities, and
associated attendant features. Access to the site will be provided by NC 210 along the southern boundary. The Project
will tie into existing water and wastewater infrastructure adjacent to the Site. Heavy equipment typically used for utility
installation projects (e.g., backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized.
The USACE issued the 404 (SAW-2021-01899) on 12/22/2021-1 DWR issued the 401 (DWR# 20211671) on 3/10/22.
The project originally requested and was approved for permanent impacts to 0.21 acre of wetlands which required
compensatory mitigation (up to 0.43 acre of wetland) and was provided by Neu -Con Wetland & Stream Umbrella
Mitigation Bank from the Meadow Spring Site. The Site has been cleared, temporary sediment basins installed, utilities
installed, and internal road networks constructed.
No federally threatened or endangered species are listed to occur on the Site according to the NC Natural Heritage
Program (NCNHP) Database
The Site is not listed as a historic property or within a historic district. One historic property is listed within 1.0 mile of
the Site based on a query of the GIS files from NCSHPO.
Marin Woods Subdivision Page 1 of 3

Protect History
The 57.84-acre Site was undeveloped and contained a large agricultural field in the southern portion adjacent to NC
Highway 210. The remainder of the Site was forested and undeveloped. A large impoundment is still present in the
western half of the Site, with water visible on aerial imagery. The majority of the canopy consisted of hardwood trees
in the drainages and the impounded area. A small area of planted pines was present along the northeastern corner of
the Site. Surrounding areas are mostly wooded, with some agricultural land, residential and commercial development.
The USACE issued the 404 (SAW-2021-01899) on 12/22/2021-1 DWR issued the 401 (DWR# 20211671) on 3/10/22.
The project originally requested and was approved for permanent impacts to 0.21 acre of wetlands which required
compensatory mitigation (up to 0.43 acre of wetland) and was provided by Neu -Con Wetland & Stream Umbrella
Mitigation Bank from the Meadow Spring Site. The Site has been cleared, temporary sediment basins installed, utilities
installed, and internal road networks constructed.
In January of 2023, it was discovered that the contractor had installed a sanitary sewer line, connecting to existing lines
off the subject property, which resulted in additional temporary wetland, stream and riparian buffer impacts not
previously requested or authorized. Further design changes (as the result of comments/requirements by Johnston
County related to stormwater) have necessitated additional changes to the project, which have (or will) require
additional wetland and buffer impacts.
This "after the fact" permit request is intended to bring the project back into compliance with local, state, and federal
regulations.
Avoidance and Minimization
A wetland, stream, and riparian buffer delineation was performed to identify sensitive areas prior to site design.
Proposed road crossings are aligned to cross the channel as perpendicularly as possible and to minimize impacts to
wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. Lots were positioned to
minimize fill in wetlands, streams and buffers. Stormwater outfalls were designed to minimize impacts to streams and
riparian areas where practicable. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any
accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from stormwater runoff.
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.
Project Impacts
Previously, 0.21 acre of permanent wetland impact was authorized which required compensatory mitigation (up to 0.43
acre of wetland) and was provided by Neu -Con Wetland & Stream Umbrella Mitigation Bank from the Meadow Spring
Site. The additional requested impacts include 0.241 acre of temporary impacts of which, 0.2336 acre are associated
with the sewer line installation and the future, proposed greenway boardwalk. The remaining 0.074 acre of temporary
wetland impact are proposed under NWP 18 to construct an SCM outlet to provide stormwater treatment for the
development.
Total proposed permanent stream impacts total 20 LF (40 SF / 0.001 ac) for the rip rap dissipator pad associated with
the SCM outfall. Proposed temporary stream impacts total 51 LF (303 SF / 0.007 ac) associated with the sewer line
installation.
Proposed temporary Zone 1 buffer impacts due to the sewer line installation and the SCM outfall total 4,216 SF (0.10
ac). Proposed temporary Zone 2 buffer impacts due to the sewer line installation and SCM outfall total 4,855 SF (0.11
ac.). Per the table of uses [15A NCAC 02B .0714 (11)(kk)], the perpendicular impacts to the buffer (located on Stream
SB) are "deemed allowable" as the construction corridor was less than 40-feet and the permanent maintenance corridor
is 30-feet in width. Per the table of uses [15A NCAC 02B .0714 (11)(II)], the non -perpendicular impacts to Zone 2 of
the buffer (located on Stream SA) are "deemed allowable" and the Zone 1 impacts are "deemed allowable upon
authorization with mitigation."
Per the table of uses, 15A NCAC 02B .0714 (9), new SCM outfalls are "deemed allowable."
Marin Woods Subdivision Page 2 of 3

Mitigation
Previously required compensatory mitigation was satisfied. This after the fact permit application request has no
permanent wetland impacts proposed and the permanent stream impacts proposed are below compensatory mitigation
thresholds. The constructed sewer line resulted in 1,351 SF of Zone 1 parallel impact which will require compensatory
mitigation. Mitigation will be provided by EBX-Neuse I, LLC. The Statement of Availability is attached with this
application.

Conditions for Transfer of Compensatory Mitigation Credit:
• Once this document has been signed by the Mitigation Sponsor and the District is in receipt of the signed form, the
Permittee is no longer responsible for providing the mitigation identified in this form, though the Permittee remains
responsible for any other mitigation requirements stated in the permit conditions.
• Construction within jurisdictional areas authorized by the permit identified on page one of this form can begin only after
the District is in receipt of a copy of this document signed by the Sponsor, confirming that the Sponsor has accepted
responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein. When NCDMS provides mitigation for authorized
impacts conducted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), construction within jurisdictional areas
may proceed upon permit issuance; however, a copy of this form signed by NCDMS must be provided to the District
within 30 days of permit issuance. NCDOT remains fully responsible for the mitigation until the District has received this
form, confirming that the Sponsor has accepted responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein.
• Signed copies of this document must be retained by the Permittee, Mitigation Sponsor, and in the USACE administrative
records for both the permit and the Bank/ILF Instrument. It is the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the District
Project Manager (address below) is provided with a signed copy of this form.
• If changes are proposed to the type, amount, or location of mitigation after this form has been signed and returned to
the District, the Sponsor must obtain case -by -case approval from the District Project Manager and/or North Carolina
Interagency Review Team (NCIRT). If approved, higher mitigation ratios may be applied, as per current District guidance
and a new version of this form must be completed and included in the District administrative records for both the permit
and the Bank/ILF Instrument.
Comments/Additional Conditions: A letter from Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC, confirming they are willing and
able to accept the applicant's compensatory mitigation responsibility, dated 11/12/2021 was included with the
preconstruction notification.
This form is not valid unless signed below by the District Project Manager and by the Mitigation Sponsor on Page 1. Once
signed, the Sponsor should provide copies of this form along with an updated bank ledger to: 1) the Permittee, 2) the
District Project Manager at the address below, 3) the Bank Manager listed in RIBITS, and 4) the Wilmington District
