Rowland Meadows is located off Dwight Rowland Road. just north of NC 42 in southern Wake County. Phases I and II are currently under construction and include 89 single family home sites on 79 acres. Phase III will add three additional home sites on a 17 acre parcel at the end of Rolling Tracks Road just west of Phase IL Permanent impacts permitted for Phases I and II included 0.36 ac of wetlands, 691inear feet of stream channel, and 13,616 spft of riparian buffers (USAGE NWP #39, Action ID. 200521326; NCDWQ WQC #3402, DWQ EXP # OS-1393). In order to mitigate for these impacts and to protect the remaining wetland areas within the early phases, 9 acres of wetlands has been placed in a conservation easement. lii order to access the developable upland in Phase III, Rolling Tracks Road will be extended across a small intermittent channel with adjacent wetlands. The road crossing will impact 0.13 ac of wetlands, 80 linear feet of stream channel, and 6,090 sgft of Neuse riparian buffer. An underground water line will be run along an existing. sail path from the neighboring subdivision {Rowland Pond) to the lots in Phase III. The soil path crosses through wetlands and another stream channel. However, no additional impacts are anticipated since the water line will be buried within the existing path. Any compensatory mitigation that is required for proposed permanent impacts will be provided through the preservation of additional wetlands, streams, and buffers within Phase III. Approximately 12.6 acres of wetlands, 1,2231mear feet of stream channel, and 2.8 acres of riparian buffer 'ill be put into a conservation easement similar that used far earlier phases. Do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the attached PCN application or if you need any additional information. Thank you.

Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State • It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Proposed impacts include one road crossing that will impact wetlands and one buffered stream in order to access the remaining uplands on the t3roperty. The water line for part of Phase III will come from an adjacent subdivision and cross a second buffered stream channel along an existing soil path The water line will be buried within the existing pathway No additional clearing will be needed and the original contours through the path will be restored 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to • mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) • Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and f nanciai viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. AIso 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. All nrot~osed impacts are needed to access upland portions of the pro~perty The road crossing and water line crossing are as close to perpendicular as is t~racticable An original design to extend Western Lodee Trail from Rowland Pond across a larger area of wetlands and connect to Phase III has been eliminated. The water line will follow the existing soil path from Western Lodge Trail thereby minimizin impacts to forested wetlands and riparian buffers 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. USACE - 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 USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shad 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 ~1:Ca~ sl.~'_ ;~~ ,~ .•7-ir,• 11~~1'i~~', 't i ~~°_~7ri:, ;,[i~i% ~ ~ri~ ~_:%ii,l.

Channel sinuosity: Straight Occasional bends -Frequent meander TVery sinuous -Braided channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. ~,/ Total Score (from reverse): ~ "/ Comments: Evaluator's Signature r, t'Q-~~w~""' Date ~ `l ~! 07 __ __ his channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in athering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality.
