RE: Willoughby Subdivision NWP 29 Pre -Construction Notification Application
Raleigh, Wake County
Dear Mr. Lastinger and Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of HHHunt Rogers, LLC, we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP 29 for 0.066
acres of permanent wetland impact for lot and infrastructure construction for the proposed residential
development, Willoughby Subdivision. We are also requesting 2,371 square feet of permanent Zone 1 buffer impacts
and 2,638 square feet of permanent Zone 2 buffer impacts for aerial sewer construction and associated 30 foot sewer
easement. We are also requesting a 401 WQC from the NC Department of Environmental Quality for the above
referenced impacts.
Willoughby Subdivision is a 54± acre proposed 88 single-family dwellings with associated infrastructure (e.g.,
roads and utilities). The project is located at 4813 Rogers Road, Wake Forest, Wake County (Latitude:
35.9297`N Longitude: -78.4710°W). The project is in the Lower Neuse River Watershed in the Neuse River
Basin. The Water Quality Classification for Sanford Creek is C; NSW.
A request for preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (JD) is included with this submittal. James Lastinger,
USACE, visited the site with a member of SEPI Engineering & Construction. The delineated jurisdictional areas
include a small forested wetland and two jurisdictional stream features, which are buffered under the Neuse
Riparian Buffer rules. James Graham, NCDWR issued a riparian buffer determination letter on July 14, 2014
(NBRRO#14-246).
The proposed project impacts consist of 0.066 acres of permanent wetland impact, 2,371 square feet of
permanent Zone 1 buffer impacts and 2,638 square feet of permanent Zone 2 buffer impacts. The wetland
impacts will occur from the fill for lots and the stream buffer impacts will occur from the installation of the aerial
sanitary sewer line and associated easement. Mitigation is not anticipated for the permanent wetland or
permanent stream buffer impacts.
Please refer to attached PCN, supporting materials and plans for details describing the proposed impacts. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me (919-866-4508; iustin.milstein(aDtimmons.com) or
Scott Mitchell at 919-866-4952 or scott.mitchell(a)_timmons.com.
