Re: BETHPAGE - Individual Permit Modification Request
AMENDMENT — Wetland Impact Area Swap
DWQ Project # 20090133 / USACE AID 2006 -32645
Durham, North Carolina
RAP -12020
Dear Ms. Burdette:
On behalf of, AVH BETHPAGE, LLC, ALF PAGE ROAD, LLC, and Tri-
Properties, Inc. we are requesting an amendment to our original Individual
Permit and subsequent modification request for the project known as Bethpage.
The amendment to the original modification request includes a request to
exchange out one impacted wetland area for a previously permitted un-
impacted wetland area and a revision to the preservation map.
Contents of this Amendment Request:
• Cover Letter w. Modifcation Request & Proposed Impacts
• Signed Agent Authorization Forms
• Revised Figure 6: Overall Impact Map: Insets 1 & 2
• Original Figure 6: Overall Impact Map (2009): Inset 11
• Current Preservation Area Map (Exhibit A)
• 2014 DRAFT Preservation Area Map (Exhibit A)
WETLAND IMPACT SWAP REQUEST: Per our previous discussion on
October 27, 2015, we learned of a discrepancy, on October 20, 2015, in the
current BethPage site plan that was submitted to the City of Durham for
The John R. McAdams
company, Inc.
approval, and the site plan within the original Overall Impact Map (Fig. 6 ) from
2009. Unfortunately, the current site plan which was approved by the City of
Durham, didn't depict Wetland Area "B" (Fig 6: Inset 1), which is located
Raleigh Durham,
above the origin of Stream "Q" and just outside of the associated riparian buffer.

This was an AutoCad layer error on the part of McAdams Company, and

because Wetland Area `B" was not depicted on the construction drawings, 0.09 -
acre of Wetland Area "B" was impacted associated with grading on the
backside of the adjoining lots. Inadvertently, due to the site plan alterations, the
Charlotte,
current site plan avoids 0.11 -acre of previously permitted riparian wetlands,

original Inset 11 (enclosed). The permittee's have already satisfied the original
wetland mitigation requirement of 0.85 credits through payment to the Neu -
Con Wetland and Stream Umbrellas Mitigation Bank (Cox Site II), per the
attached Affidavit of Credit Sale dated December 29, 2014, which will offset
this proposed wetland impact exchange and the remainder of permitted wetland
impacts.
At this time we are requesting an "After- The - Fact" modification to the
Individual Permit for un- authorized riparian wetland impacts of 0.09 -acre
located at Wetland Area "B" , in lieu of impacting the previously permitted
Wetland Area "A" which totals 0.11 -acre and will be completely avoided.
PRESERVATION AREA MAP: The Preservation Area Map (enclosed) has
been revised to reflect the current site plan and account for the un- authorized
impacts to Wetland Area "B ". In addition, the option agreement held by the
Clean Water Management Trust Fund for the proposed stream restoration
project on the western side of the project area has expired and is no longer a
viable project according to previous correspondence with the Clean Water
Management Trust Fund staff. For this reason the 2014 Preservation Area Map
revisions were never recorded at Durham County. It is intended to record the
current Preservation Area Map (enclosed) immediately after approval by the US
Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE).
The permittees will satisfy all permit conditions of the original USACE and
DWQ Individual Permits and subsequent Permit Modification Approvals.
Consideration of this modification request is greatly appreciated. If you should
have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (919) 287 -0895.
Sincerely,
Mcadams Company
