Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The proposed development has undergone multiple changes and revisions to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands streams and riparian buffers The design concept has considered preservation of these natural areas to help buffer the scale of the project and provide a pedestrian friendly sidewalks offering views into the wetlands and stream corridor. The location of the main site entrance along NC 54 was set by NCDOT based on breaks in control of access and required traffic signal spacing. Shiloh Glenn Drive was located to avoid impacts to stream buffers and wetlands while~roviding minimum capacity and adequate traffic patterns (Figure 5) A traffic circle has been used to allow a more perpendicular crossing of Stream 1 and reduce lanes from 3 to 2 to minimize impacts (Figure 11). In addition, a variance was obtained from the Town of Morrisville to reduce the design speed and pavement width for Shiloh Glenn Drive to further minimize stream impacts. Impacts to Stream 2 are unavoidable due to existing disturbance related to NC-540 construction required connection to the existing NCDOT Service Road to allow for traffic to Slater Road (Fi ug re 12). DWQ's Sam A~himien, Debbie Edwards and Mike Horan did not object to these crossings in a meetin og n August 3I, 2005 The maiority of the stormwater run-off from Shiloh Glenn Drive will be treated with level spreaders however a small area at the crossing of Stream 2 cannot be treated. Modification to increase Stream #2 impacts 20 linear feet required for the structural design of the culvert to comply with NCDOT standard guidelines for setback for guardrails and head wall heights. Impacts at Wetlands 3A and 3C were not originally considered• however, the Town of Morrisville required a private access to connect from the Shiloh Glenn Drive to Lower Shiloh Way to provide additional "stacking" on Shiloh Glenn Drive and to restrict the intersection with Lower Shiloh Way near Wetlands 2 and 3C to a "right-in/out and left over" movement for adequate traffic flow (Figures 5 and 8~. DWQ's Amy Chapman and Ian McMillian generally accepted the need for the impacts in the June 2 2006 meeting Impacts to Wetlands 3A and 3C have been minimized with wing wall sections on both sides of the proposed culvert and the reduction in lanes from 3 to 2 at the crossing with the addition of the western most traffic circle. Impacts to Wetland 3 were avoided to the extent practicable to allow construction of Shiloh Glenn Drive Design plans have been revised to protect sidesl~es and add retaining walls on the south side of the Shiloh Glenn Drive to minimize the impacts to Wetlands 3A and 3C. Wetlands 5 and 6 have been almost entirely avoided (Figures 9 and 10). In addition, the existing hydrolo~y of Wetlands 3 and 6 have been maintained with the proposed culverts and by-pass Wiping to allow the natural flow of stormwater to continue to release into these wetlands. Modification to increase Wetland #6 impacts 0.010 acres required to accommodate the relocation of the Progress Energy overhead transmission line. Page 12 of 17 VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Payment into the NCEEP is proposed for mitigation of stream, wetland, and buffer impacts. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. Payment to NCEEP is proposed for mitigation of stream and buffer impacts associated with Stream #1 only Refer to the acceptance letter from NCEEP included in Attachment 3. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss Stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The proposed development will disturb approximately 90.42 acres of the 115.7 total site acreage. Pre-development conditions include approximately 0.4 acres of impervious area and Post- development conditions include approximately 79.4 acres of impervious area (Attachment 2). Approximately 25 23 acres of undisturbed grass and wooded area will continue to drain to the on-site perennial stream channel (unnamed tributary to Stirrup Iron Creek). Please note construction will occur in~hases with initial Stormwater controls for Phase 1 limited to Extended Detention Wetland A for Lots 1 13 and 14 and four level spreaders for Shiloh Glenn Drive Stormwater controls will be constructed later for future Phase 2 development of Lots 2 through 10 including_Extended Detention Wetlands B and C and for future Phase 3 development of Lot 12 including Extended Detention Wetlands D and E. The extended detention wetlands have been designed to treat the first 1-inch of Stormwater run- off and remove 85% total suspended solids. The level spreaders have been designed per the bypass alternatives allowable by NCDENR for diffuse flow through buffers for compliance with DWQ's Level Spreader Design Guidelines Final Version Effective Date 1/1/2007. Nitrogen loading rates will effectively be reduced below the required 10 lbs/acre/year per the Neuse Stormwater Rule (15A NCAC 2B 0235) for the entire site. Adequate storage will be provided to reduce post-development peak discharge flows to below pre-development peak discharge flows for the 1 2 and 10-y_ear storm events in accordance with the City of Durham's Stormwater Design Criteria and Town of Momsville's Stormwater Runoff Management Policy. Refer to Attachment 2 for Pre and Post-Development Drainage Exhibits and NCDENR design summary worksheets for the proposed extended detention wetlands and level spreaders. The project will include off-site roadway improvements to NC 54 NCDOT Service Road, and Surles Court Slater Road and Hopson Road intersections. Stormwater controls for widening of NC 54 a_diacent to the site will be combined with existing run-off from NCDOT's R2000ab TIP and discharged into a velocity dissipater approximately 100-feet in front of Wetland 5. After diffuse flow through the wetland the Stormwater will be piped to bypass a portion of the site and discharge into Wetland 3 at the headwaters of Stream 1. Stormwater for the other off-site improvements for NCDOT maintained roads will be routed into the existin dg_rainage structures. Page 15 of 17 XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. The Town of Morrisville Concourse Interceptor Improvement will extend sanitary sewer service to the site. Wastewater will be treated through the Town of Cary wastewater treatment facility. XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ^ No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: The site is bounded by NC Railroad to the west, NC-540 to the south and east, and Imperial Center to the northwest. The onlyundeveloped area is to the northeast with access from Slater Road and existing NCDOT Service Road. The proposed development will construct Shiloh Glenn Drive from NC 54 through the site and across an unnamed tributary to Stirrup Iron Creek fat the east end of the project) to connect to an existing NCDOT Service Road which continues to Slater Road. Refer to Attachment 4 for an exhibit of the overall development in the vicinity and the existing. 2 lane paved shoulder section of the NCDOT Service Road which ends at the crossing of the unnamed tributary of Stirrup Iron Creek. Making the connection to Slater Road through the site is the last remaining section to connect the NCDOT Service Road from NC 54 It is possible that providing this connection would make the undeveloped land west of the existing NCDOT Service Road and northeast of the site more attractive for development. However the development overlays shown on the exhibit in Attachment 4 are a direct result of NC-540 construction and not related to the project. Since construction of the road extension itself will not result in any further impacts than already requested herein, the only other potential indirect or cumulative impacts would be from future development to the west of Slater Road. Impacts to stream wetlands or buffers in these locations would be subject to regulation by the USACE and DWQ. Additionally all of the undeveloped land would be within the City/County of Durham's jurisdiction which has its own buffer ordinances and extensive stormwater management requirements that meet or exceed DWQ's requirements. These requirements which apply to all new development include nutrient reduction requirements per the Neuse Buffer Rules control of peak discharge for the 2 and 10 year-24 hour storm events, and 85% TSS removal requirement per NPDES Phase II requirements. As such, all potential indirect and cumulative impacts would be addressed bathe existing_re ug_ latory framework. Page 16 of 17 XV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). Final Stormwater Management Plans for Extended Detention Wetland A and 4 level spreaders for Shiloh Glenn Drive for the initial Phase 1 development of Lots 1, 13 (Sam's Club), and 14 (Wal-Mart) have been enclosed with the Pre Construction Notice. At a later date, Stormwater Management Plans for Extended Detention Wetlands B and C for future Phase 2 development of Lots 2 through 10 and Extended Detention Wetlands D and E for future Phase 3 development of Lot 12 will be submitted for review. Assuming DWQ approves the Stormwater Mana eg ment Plans for the initial Phase 1 development, the following lan ug_a~e (available in electronic format) is requested to be used in the Section 401 Water Quality Certification as it relates to stormwater: Phase 1: The final stonnwater management facilities for Phase 1 (that includes Lot 1, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Shiloh Glenn Drive) shall be constructed according to the approved stormwater mans eg ment plans received on Mav 15, 2007. The stormwater drainage infrastructure and treatment facilities shall be constructed and operational prior to occupying any of the above buildings. Phase 2: Final rg_ading and impacts to Wetlands #3C, #4, #6 will be based on the preliminary stormwater mana eg ment plans received May 15 2007. None of the building and infrastructure associated with Phase 2 (that includes Lots 2 through 10 and Lower Shiloh Wad will be occupied until the stormwater drainage infrastructure and treatment facilities are constructed and operational according to the approved stormwater management plans. Phase 3: Final rg ading will be based on the preliminary stormwater mana eg ment plans received Mav 15, 2007. None of the building and infrastructure associated with Phase 3 (that includes Lot 12) will be occupied until the stormwater drainage infrastructure and treatment facilities are constructed and operational according to the approved stonnwater mana eg ment plans. // /9 /!
