Re: Lake Castleberry Subdivision Amenity Center - NWP 18 PCN Submittal
Corps AID #SAW -2013-01277
DWR Proj #15-0039v2
W&R Project #02130105.00
Dear Mr. Lastinger and Ms. Higgins,
On behalf of Standard Pacific of the Carolinas, LLC, we are requesting authorization from the
USACE to use NWP 18 for 0.006 acres of permanent wetland impacts for construction of the
parking lot associated with the amenity center within the Lake Castleberry residential subdivision.
We are also requesting a 401 WQC from NCDWR for the above referenced impacts.
The proposed amenity center is located in the western central portion of the Lake Castleberry
Subdivision, which is located in the southwestern quadrant of the intersection of Green Level West
Road and Wimberly Road in Apex, Wake County. The proposed amenity center is located at:
Latitude: 35.7653°N; Longitude: -78.93390W. The project is located in the Cape Fear River basin
and onsite waters drain to White Oak Creek. The Water Quality Classification for White Oak Creek
is WS-V;NSW;CA and the Stream Index Number is:16-41-6-(3.5). The cataloging unit for the site is
03030002.
Proposed Project
The proposed project consists of construction of an amenity center that will provide recreation for
the residents of the Lake Castleberry Subdivision. The amenity center will consist of a pool, sun
deck, clubhouse and associated parking. The proposed wetland impacts are necessary for
construction of the parking area only.
Project History
The Lake Castleberry Subdivision received a NWP 29 (AID SAW -2013-01277) and a 401 WQC
(SWR E15 -0039v2) in 2015, which authorized 0.481 acres of permanent wetland impacts and 148
If of permanent stream impacts for construction of the subdivision. Copies of the NWP 29 and 401
WQC have been provided as Appendices.
At the time of design and permitting of the subdivision, the parcel (PIN 0713936408) on which the
parking lot is located had not been purchased. The proposed 0.006 acres of permanent wetland
impacts for construction of the amenity center parking area are considered cumulative with the
1410 Commonwealth Drive, Suite 1011 Wilmington, NC 28403

permitted impacts for the Lake Castleberry subdivision, and mitigation is proposed accordingly.
The currently proposed 0.006 acres of permanent wetland impacts, in combination with the
previously permitted 0.481 acres of permanent wetland impacts total 0.487 acres of cumulative
impacts for the Lake Castleberry subdivision. Therefore, the proposed impacts associated with the
amenity center is eligible for permitting under a NWP 18, as cumulative impacts for the entire Lake
Castleberry Subdivision will not exceed 0.49 acres.
The Corps Jurisdictional Determination (AID SAW -2013-01277) issued for the Lake Castleberry
Subdivision did not include the ±0.68 acre parcel associated with the proposed amenity center.
WR conducted a wetland delineation for the proposed amenity center project in December 2015.
A Preliminary JD Request in support of the delineation has been provided as an Appendix. We are
requesting issuance of the Preliminary JD specific to the parcel associated with the proposed
amenity center parking lot in conjunction with issuance of the NWP 18.
The Town of Apex issued a Buffer Determination for the project on August 29, 2013. Impacts to
riparian buffers will be permitting through the Town of Apex as a delegated municipality. A copy of
the Town of Apex Buffer Determination Letter has been provided as an Appendix.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed impacts consist of 0.006 acres of permanent wetland impacts for construction of the
parking area for the amenity center. The proposed wetland impacts will occur to a small, linear
wetland. The upstream portions of this wetland were previously permitted to be impacted, and
have since been filled.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted
so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized.
Proposed permanent impacts have been minimized to only those impacts necessary to construct
the parking lot for the amenity center. Due to the triangular shape of the parcel associated with the
amenity center and parking area, as well as the location of the 100' Town of Apex riparian buffers,
the design could not be revised to avoid and minimize wetland impacts.
Mitigation
The proposed 0.006 acres of proposed permanent wetland impacts for construction of the amenity
center are considered cumulative with the previously permitted 0.481 acres of permanent wetland
impacts for the Lake Castleberry Subdivision. Therefore, the applicant proposes to mitigate for the
proposed 0.006 acres of permanent wetland impacts through the purchase of offsite mitigation
credits at a 2:1 ratio, resulting in the purchase of 0.12 acres of riparian wetland mitigation. The
mitigation will be provided in the Cripple Creek Stream & Wetland Mitigation Bank. A copy of the
Statement of Availability for the proposed mitigation bank has been provided as an Appendix.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or
® Yes ❑ No
habitat?
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
❑ Yes ® No
impacts?
❑ Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
❑ Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
WR reviewed the NC Natural Heritage Program database, located at https://ncnhde.natureserve.org/content/map to
identify if there were any known occurrences of endangered species on or near the proposed project. The review of the
NHP data did not identify any occurrences of endangered species or critical habitat on the subject property or within 1.0
miles of the project, see attached NCNHP project review letter. Site reviews did not identify any potential habitat for any
federally protected species known to occur in Wake County, except for the Northern Long Eared Bat.
Potential habitat for the northern Long-eared bat (NLEB) is listed as mature forest with trees over 3" dbh, which is used
for roosting during the day. Since the entire project area consists of mature forest over 3" DBH, there is potential northern
long eared bat habitat present. The USFWS Final 4(d) rule for the Northern Long-Eared bat specifies that tree removal
within the White Nose Syndrome (WNS) Zone is not prohibited as long as it occurs more than 0.25 miles from known
hibernacula and does not result in destroying known occupied maternity roost trees, or any other trees within a 150-radius
from the maternity tree, during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). The proposed project is not located within 0.25 miles
of any known hibernacula, nor is there any known maternity roost trees present on the project. Additionally, clearing of
mature forest between June 1s' and July 31st is not anticipated for construction of the proposed project. Therefore, WR
concludes that the project "may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect" the northern long-eared bat.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
❑ Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
There are no waters in Wake County classified as EFH.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
W&R reviewed the NC State Historic Preservation Office's online database, located at: http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/, to
determine if there were any known historic or cultural resources within or in the vicinity of the proposed project. The
database review did not identify any known resources within or in the vicinity of the proposed project.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
